Found out that AOL Instant Messenger offers email addresses with screen names now..2GB each! So I got a new one: HopeMoore27 !
So I have some new email addresses (like, do I really need anymore?):
pepsipepsibaby@aim.com
HopeMoore27@aim.com
Got some pictures! Hope to upload them within the week if possible..on AshvilleOhio.net..
some have camera shake, but the blurriness is less noticible when I shrink the photo like I have to anyway..I was happy to see that people waved and smiled (not like 2 years ago when they looked mostly depressed...except for Jason..)..
I got to see some friends from my class (2002) like Ashley D., Amy R., Casey F., Kirby B., Matt and Marc H., and Tim M...
I saw people from the other classes, but too many to mention..
I also "Luke" (who is still hot as ever and works somewhat close)..didn't see "Charlie", but got some photos of his brother..blurry photos, but GAWD he looks like his brother! Yeah, yeah, I'm still disguising the guys' names with the "" names..I don't want anyone to know who they are! It's fun making up names lol Only Bunny knows my method of making up the names..don't expect me to ever reveal who they are (at least until I marry "Charlie" "Luke" "Daniel" "Steve" or "Gary" (the last 2 I haven't seen or heard anything about them in FOREVER)..)..
I got there around 2 or so and at the door they were like, "Do you have a ticket?"..I was like, "You need a ticket??"..I guess they had the new gym for those without tickets to watch the ceremony on a screen..I took photos of the graduates as they went toward the gym..After the grads went in, I was like, "I don't have a ticket, but could I sit in the doorway?" and they said they had one more ticket, so I was allowed..I got up to the front to take a photo of the honor students and saw an empty spot in the first row..the nice lady next to it allowed me to sit there..little did I know, she was the photographer hired to shoot! I got to take photos next to her!!
It was cool! The group behind me cheered loudly when their daughter got her diploma and was like, "GIVE MOMMY A KISS!!! FRONT ROW, BABY!!"..I got a photo of her video taping her daughter..
I got to see Kierston and other drama peeps :oD They still rock, of course..

Other thoughts..
I was noticing today how much I was relaxed and happy that I found out that "Charlie" was alive and well..usually if someone is alive, I'm like, oh well, aren't we all..or if they are in the military, I'd be happy to know, yeah, but I noticed today that I was REALLY happy..which is so weird for me..even tho he's bound to get married to his girlfriend, the jealous feelings went away and I was just plain happy he was happy and living..
Oh my shit! He's ONLINE!!! Just as I typed this!! But yeah, I'm too chicken to talk to him at the moment..maybe someday..I just hope "someday" doesn't come too late..
I had a weird daydream/insane thought/vision..um..it would be SO WEIRD if it came true..and it could easily..you'll know when it comes true when I type in all caps in a future post and I can't say what I would be wanting to post about because of who would read this blog and get it..oh, well..
Other thing I noticed today..
When I graduated (2002, less than a year after 9/11), so many people were joining the military! Actually almost all the guys I was friends with or liked in high school went (or wanted to go) in to the military..but this graduation was different..they named only 4-6 people from the entire class that's supposedly going into the military..wow! Talk about a change! I grew up thinking the military was cool and is just a great idea as going to college after high school..if I was healthy all my life, I probably would have concidered it..(i'd have to anyway to get the money I would have needed for college)..
I know someday I'd probably marry a vet or someone who at the time is currently serving and whenever we have kids, they're gonna have the same mentality toward the military as I (and the generations before me) had..and if I ever teach them anything, they probably will change those views as a way to rebel against me and his or her father..war is peace, baby..conflict is the child of change..and stasis is death..so embrace small rebellions, protests, arguments, and debates..and always remember to compromise :)
Yeah, that was a weird way to end this post..........but oh, well..
I'm so f***in' jealous!! Jealous of this thin, healthy, nice girl who I found out today is dating (and totally in love) with "Charlie" (yeah, I still won't give away who he really is, so I use my patented "" name for him)!!..grr..and he's in love with her! My daydreams just shattered lol..
oh, well, at least they're happy..
I got to see some recent photos of him..geez..the military aged him 10 years (rather than 3)..still good looking tho with those singer eyes and life-saver chin..Ahhhhh military guys..
Oh, well, if I see him tomorrow, I see him..I'll get photos and mix them up so it's hard for my visitors to figure out who he is when I post them online..
I'm tempted to email or contact him, but I don't know if I should..we weren't close, close friends..he'd remember me, but not the way I remember him..*sigh*..
Plus, he might easily know I'm talking about him in all the posts about my daydreams of him..
*sigh* He has a long time still to go before he comes back..if I don't see him tomorrow, I'll see him at the reunion, I guess..by then, he'll be happily married..
Oh, CRAP, hmm..n/m..I found out another thing..his girlfriend and I have something in common (I won't tell what)..hmm..alterior motive aside, my plan would work out for all of us in a way..
Ok, the jealous sneaky Hope kicked in for a second..I'm jealous as heck (be it about a guy or whatever) and it's funny that I can have alterior motives at first and then drop them and forget totally about them..my problem is that no one catches me on the alterior motives when I DO have them and when I don't have any, people are THEN suspicious of me..
I hardly ever have any, tho..
So basically, if you are suspicious, DON'T BE!! If you aren't..um, yeah..
MOVIE UPDATE
I got done with the rough cut of "Relapse"..now I have to adjust the audio, color correct, and do effects to move unwanted objects (like the studio light, my arm, Nate's silent face when he's supposed to be talking, their "live strong" wristbands, etc.) off frame..
Jim (the student) said he knew a girl at a club on Long and 5th and I guess she said it would be ok for us and the night class to show our films there..he wants to get some of the student's bands to play and he can dj there..I've heard some of his music..I like it :o) It would be a fun time!
When I do get my version of the movie done, I'll see if I can post it online..if the file isn't WAY WAY big..it will be tho, 'cuz it's a 30 min. movie without the opening and end credits..I'll do the credits when I get some music..
It's supposed to be a drama/drug movie..but while filming, digitizing, and editing it, we can't help but laugh..people kept making jokes and stuff..the junkie at the end was cool..he was adlibbing A LOT and did it so well..I'm not sure if the dialog below is correct, but here's a sample (combo of many takes):
BRIAN: It's Brain, friend of Nate's!
JUNKIE 1: Brian? (yelling back in the house) Hey, dude! You know a Brian?
JUNKIE 2: (from within) Brian?? What is this fucking Monty Python? Do I know a Brian..
BRIAN: Friend of Nate's!
JUNKIE 1: (to Brian) A who of who?
BRIAN: A friend of Nate.
JUNKIE 1: (to Junkie 2) A friend of Nate's, ha*!
BRIAN: Nate's dry, he said I could get a score from you guys.
JUNKIE 1: (to Brian) Oh, yeah, sure, come in.
BRIAN comes in and we see a bare house. JUNKIE 2 sits at a table covered with drugs and parefenalia (sp?). He is wearing large reflective sunglasses that make him look like a bug.
JUNKIE 2: (recognizing Brian) AH! I remember you! Yeah, Nate!
JUNKIE 1: Have a seat, Nate. (Brian continues to stand) (BEAT) (to Junkie 2) He says Nate's out.
JUNKIE 2: Nate's out? He's a fuckin' liar, dude. He's playing some game (BEAT) told you something so he can call the ladies over and have the house to himself, man.
BRIAN: I just need something quick.
JUNKIE 1: You came to the right place, man!
JUNKIE 2: I'm the fucking Walmart of Hookups, yo! What would you like? (throws him a pack of heroin) That will fuck you up for about four hours, I sure as hell hope that ain't quick.
BRIAN: That would be awesome.
JUNKIE 1: Wait, Brian, we were just to get fucked up, ourselves.
JUNKIE 2: I got two lock, stock, and smokin' barrels right here, man! And another one would make (BEAT) three, right? We gonna party, right, dude?
They nod.
JUNKIE 2: Let me light this up. (ignites lighter) Ah, shit, now that's a hottie. (BEAT) That's some good shit.
BRIAN: (looking around the crack house) So have you lived here long?
JUNKIE 2: (pauses) Who are you? Fucking Connie Chung? FBI? CIA?
BRIAN: (nervous) No (BEAT) it's just a nice place, that's all I'm saying.
JUNKIE 1: (laughs) This guy's a funny fucker!
JUNKIE 2: (starts relaxing and moving again) Yeah, real funny fuck. Want's to know how long we've lived here. Nice place..Our place has no fuckin' furniture, thanks for noticing. (BEAT) Except the waterbed upstairs, but that's only for when the ladies come over, if you know what I mean.
JUNKIE 2: (continues to cook the heroin) That's some good shit, right here! Like Ramen Noodles, ya know? You like Ramen Noodles, right?
JUNKIE 1: (walks over to get some drugs) YEEAAH!
Brian takes the gun he had hidden behind his back, grabs JUNKIE 1, slits his throat.......
* Said in a weird nasally sound..
Yeah, I'll stop it there..I don't wanna give it away too much..
As you can see, it has a LOT of cussing..I cuss sometimes, but not a lot..but it's funny because I was sleeping on the couch last week and my mom said I actually said stuff like "Close up" and "Long shot" and "Establishing shot" in my sleep..I keep joking saying watch me start saying the F-word in my sleep..
Heck, as you can see, I censor my blogs (except for script dialog)..
well, I gotta go..tty'alls!
Recent things..
Friday:
-) Went to class on my day off to edit the movie our class is working on..I got there at 9:30 a.m. and thought I was late (Jim, the teacher, said it's open 9-3)..I get there and knock/kick on the door several times for about 5 min..I go to the EB 401 office and asked if Jim was there, yet..He ended up calling in sick and told the secretary (who I always forget the name of) to open the door for us..SO I guess I was the first one to arrive..
I didn't go to the S.O.A.R. meeting because I needed to let the other students in..I was afraid they would knock and no one would answer and they'd leave instead of get the work done they wanted to do..
around noon Randy comes to edit..He made an awesome opening scene with the music he had and the clips of driving through Columbus..I don't have an opening scene, yet because I'm waiting until I get music to work with..Mike (from the night class) came in around noon as well..their movie looks really funny! I can't wait to see it! Jim (the student) came in around 3pm..
I got up to the end of scene 5 finished..the "restaurant" scene was nuts to edit since it was mostly Randy's character, Brian, talking..Jim said he had up to scene 8 done (scene 6 was cut) when he began at 3pm..I took a "break" and looked through some of the clips of the future scenes..apparently Tom was a wild driver in one of the "Taxi" scenes..Randy actually said, "Could you please pull out into traffic instead of swinging out?"..it was funny to watch because it was shot from the front seat looking back and you can hear him accelarate and a car close behind..
-) When I got home, I heard that the girl I hit with my car Wednesday now says she needs a chiropractor..Um..she was fine..she was walking around and standing for about an hour or so..my dad and I asked her often if she was sure she was ok..and she said yes each time..even her friend(?) asked her and she said she was ok..she told the cop she was ok..I hit the front left of her car at 20mph..I honestly don't think it's her saying she's hurt..my dad speculated that it might be someone else telling her to try to get more money..at the accident scene, she was honest about the wreck and just seemed frustrated and mad, not out to get money..she seemed mature about the situation..
I still say if anyone gets her to pursue getting a chiropractor, I'm taking it to court..I am not paying money for it and watch her not go (cuz she doesn't need to) and the someone who is getting her to get the money will use it for something else..I have my dad and the cop as witnesses and I have pictures of the damage to her car (not enough to make her back disaligned or give whiplash (if she was wearing her seatbelt))..
-) My Digital Rebel came! BUT the company gave me the wrong lenses!!! They said I'd get 2 SIGMA lenses (high quality)..one is a 28-80mm and the other a 70-300mm (like I had for my Nikon, but the new ones are made for Cannon)..INSTEAD I get 2 Cannon lenses..one is a plain 50mm and the other a 70-300mm..why would I need a 50mm???? The Rebel pack had an 18-55mm lens..I need a zoom lens to cover at least 55-70mm to make sense..
Saturday:
-) I went to class again to work on editing..I got there around 9:15 or 9:20 a.m. and Danny told me he knocked for like, 10 min...I was like, is he still sick? It must be bad..I told him to ask the office to let him in, but it's up to him if he still wanted to edit without the teacher there..I get up to the 4th floor..tried the door myself, but no one answered..I went to the office..BUT IT WAS CLOSED!
I called my mom to be either convinced or discouraged to go back home for a few hours and then come back up for the play..she said it's stupid to have to keep going back and fourth, but if I came home, she'd go to the play at the 8pm showing..
Just then, Jim (the teacher) arrived..he looked tired and he sounded really sick..he has a sinus infection, so he talked really low and quiet..
I called Danny to tell him he came and he was home by then..
Some of the students from the night class came..one with a guitar..I was editing at the time so I didn't see, but I think Jim played some on it and it sounded cool! I think it was Jim..I'm not sure tho because I was trying to work on the murder scene and I thought they might be recording, so I tried not to make too much noise and turn around..who over it was, it was cool!
As for the murder scene..I wasn't there when they filmed it, but they filmed some of the bad guys..they showed Jim (the student)'s character getting a knife and running out the door and his face when Mary (played by Misty) get's stabbed..I didn't like that..the script was rewritten to make it a surprize when Mary get's stabbed and you technically aren't supposed to recognize the killer's..so I kept it as Randy's first take of Mary entering her house and he walks back and you can hear footsteps (hopefully people will think it's the other bad guy, rather than Randy)..and you see a bad guy hiding and Mary walks toward the camera and the bad guy attacks her..then I cut to the feet shot of her fighting him off and running..then it cuts to a shaky tracking shot of her running out the back way..and then a shot of her running for a hole in the fence and moving stoping for a split second..in a few frames we see a knife being pulled out..then it cuts to her falling to the ground and the other bad guy coming out saying something like, "What the fuck did you do, man? Let's get out of here!" and Jim's character's like, "Wait wait" and I cut to an extreme close up of him taking the necklace..then cut to a dark medium shot of the bad guys' feet leaving and the one says, "C'mon, let's get the fuck out of here! Jesus Christ!" and the scene ends with Mary dying on the ground near a puddle of blood..
I have to fix the audio tho..it cuts off before the end of the clip..
I made sure the bad guys' faces could not be seen fully..and if people didn't understand she was stabbed, I put in the dialogue of Jim (the teacher)'s character, the "Bad Cop" Detective Jim Johnson, of him saying "..you stabbed her last night, didn't ya?" or something like that..
However, I wanted to SO use the clip of one of the bad guys kicking Mary in the face and the dialogue of him saying "What the fuck? You stabbed her, man!"..but I couldn't get it to work right..
I notice I'm going to probably continue using the "bloopers" and the stuff with the dialogue like, "Scene 9, Interrogation room, close up of Jim, Take 5, and action" and put it with different audio..for some reason some of it would work better than the real "acting" parts..like I used Jim pacing and thinking over his lines..later, I'm so using the clip of Randy falling hard on the ground..stuff like that..
-) Around 2:30pm (?) I left looking for food, but the cafeteria was closed..I almost was late to the play at 3..but I did get to see it! They called the comedy "Incedible sex" and it was really 3 plays in one..Ironically there was references about sex, but they were mostly about life and the way people think..
the first one was about this girl and her friends vacationing in Florida and the girl had a three-some, mostly to do something that wasn't "Ohio"..and one of her friend's was a "good Christian" (altho she wasn't totally) and coudn't believe what her friend did..
The second one was about this disabled 3rd grade teacher and his brother..they don't get together and talk much..and the disabled guy told his brother how people see disabled people and how his bother didn't accept him beging disabled after the accident..then he told his brother that he was gay..and his brother couldn't accept it very well..and it was well written! His brother was like, "Well, you're going to have to accept me for being superficial!"..and all through this, there was a thing about the disabled brother being a good cook..and at the end it was like, "Wow! This pie is good!" and he said, "I'm a good cook, you're just going to have to accept that.." The actors were GREAT! Too bad that guy really is gay in real life..he was cute! Lucky for the gay men out there, tho..but yeah, why are so many gay guys good looking and nice? And it sucks in a way because if your a girl like me, it can't go beyond friends..
The third was was cute..the not-accepting brother in the 2nd play (good looking and professional in that one) played a nerd in this one..he was REALLY good! The girl who played opposite of his is a good stage actress! She exaggerated her acting a touch to create more of a comic book feel and people in the back could understand the emotions (unlike film where there would be a close up during the dramic parts)..the third play was about this nerdy guy's girlfriend breaks up with him to be with the Prince of Mars, Balthazar the Magnificant, and to give birth to a race of super martians..of course at first, the audience thinks she's nuts or is making it up to break up with him..but no, really, there are martians in the play! Well, the rest of the story is about getting the girl back..
I GOT PICTURES!! Some had camera shake, but most of them are good for the web, so expect them here soon!
I got into my first car accident yesterday..
It wouldn't have happened if I had just taken I-71 up or had the mirrors I need (but probably won't be able to get until July or August)..
I drive a nice sized minivan..there was a smaller car next to me..I looked in the mirrors and saw nothing..I turned my turn signal on and looked again..saw nothing..I started to turn (somewhat sharply) to get into a gas station (to turn around because I missed my road)..and 2 seconds later (in the middle of the right lane), I hit the car in my blind spot..
Luckily, I was only going 20 mph because it was a school zone..I don't know, maybe it would have been better if it wasn't, since I would have slowed down to 20 or so and the girl in my blind spot would have come into view..
I messed up her front left bumper/fender (whatever the piece after the front bumper is called)..a part of it broke off and it slid out about an inch..there was a large fist-sized dent right above it and some paint scratched off..
My front right end was covered in mud and a little paint taken off..the air plug for the tire was dislodged a little, so I didn't notice it, but I was getting a flat tire all the way home..
I know it was all my fault, but..I wish she would have honked or something and I would have jerked back before hitting her..maybe her horn didn't work..the weird thing was that one time (3rd day of driving with Temps) I almost did that and the person honked right away before I got a half a foot in her lane and I was able to swerve out of the way..how did I get halfway into the right lane and how did it take two seconds (going 20 mph) to hit? If she was right there going 20, I should have hit her quicker or she should have had sometime to break (in the time I turned my signal on and started going in her lane half way)..
My dad was following me and saw that she was in my blind spot..
This was after my dad told me to get in the right lane and we went around a bend and the traffic blocked my view of the cars parked on the bend..I had to quickly turn my turn signal on and cut off a person..they at least breaked and honked..I felt I would have better results if I cut him off and the back end of my car would hit his front end rather than slam on my breaks, and still hiting a parked car head on, which would hit another parked car, possibly into the road with the moving traffic and whoever was behind me would hit me..
My dad said it was a crap road to be driving on..
I wish there was a way that cars beside me could see my turn signal..usually when I see a car turning, I can see WHERE they are turning and WHY so I slow down and let them in..the car I cut off TRIED to slow down the best they could..but I don't think the girl I hit saw the turn signal..
My ticket was $110 (I don't have) and I'll have to pay the deductible or something (I have no clue what that means), but my mom said ours was $100-$250..but I think she said I had to pay the girl's too..and I have no clue how expensive it is..
My dad wants my mom to drive until I get mirrors..she won't be able to take me up at 8am on Friday and Saturday (her medicine has to wear off) so I can work on my final project..so I'll flunk and have to take it again (over $300)..and yet, I'm still discouraged about getting a student loan..
I'll need one anyway..so now I hope to find a friendly stranger to help me get my wheelchair out at a Huntington..
However, I was accepted yesterday into the Student Ambassedor Program! So if I worked 10 hours a week, I could pay off the accident in 3-5(?) weeks! Then again, that's not taking in account the taxes taken out and the gas it takes to go up to school every day..
That's it! I've decided to sell my D100 (with 2 lenses and a fish eye convertor, bag, strap, etc.) for $1,200-$1,500 (if possible) and buying me a Digital Rebel with 3 lenses/bag/strap/cleaning kit/tripod for $1,000..so overall, I'd lose 700-900 dollars, but I did get to use my D100 for some cool things like my friend's wedding, the Chihuly display, and Ashville's 4th of July Parade and a few portfolio shots..but I hope to make it back with a better, lighter-weight camera and can do my ideas better, too..
I don't have much time to write before a huge storm hits, but..
I went to Spring Fling..it rocked!!
I got PICTURES!!
I got an empy bag from the bookstore for free stuff and right when it began raining (sprinkling), a lady from one of the bank books took my bag and went to nearby booths and piled in free candy and pens! I had about 5-7 pounds of free stuff!
Also, Matt the Balloon Guy from Arron Kinser's party last August was there! I found out from the website that he was just there for the resturant, not for Arron's party, but he ROCKS!!
You know I'm SO gonna hire him for my wedding whenever I ever get married..it might throw off the Greek/Roman theme, but who cares!! He's the best balloon artist I've seen! I wonder if he'd be ok with wearing a toga over his bowling shirt..lol..
First, some plugs: Bunny, Wolf, and Jeremy for their comments! :oD
I read Kierston's blog about how she doesn't think it felt like a year of college went by..it's so TRUE! I was sitting there thinking about how I've been here almost 3 whole years (not the 9-month years, but the 4-quarter years) and each year was quicker than the last..
I can't believe it's been almost 9 months since I graduated and began the new major..it's been challenging and extremely stressfull, but I prefer to take classes that are because I feel it's almost a waste of time to take classes that are easy..like that stupid math class, since math is so easy!
I almost said this quarter's Natural Science, but the nice thing about that class is that I'm learning SOME new things..for the 2 tests, it was easy because I already new a lot from researching religions and the occult and the 2nd one had stuff from Studio Photography..
The funniest thing is that I start falling asleep in class because the lack of sleep I arrive with..to keep me awake, I make up ways to teach the concepts to elementary school kids..so far I've got ideas for levers, pulleys, mirrors, and some others..
Another funny thing is that I have fallen asleep twice and I don't study, I barrow note cards or highlighted study guides and look it over for about 2min before the test..that last test was HARD, too! But somehow I get the second highest grade in the class again..
Somehow I got a 100% on my last photography assignment..
Now I only have to do a decent job editing the film we're making (I've got ideas for trailers and posters, but I don't know if there is time) to make up for minor mistakes with the shooting..I had a B going into shooting..the C I got on my pitch has kept those 3 or 4 As from staying As..
I really enjoy going new places to shoot :o) I like the people in the group because of everyone helping everyone else and no one person is totally bossy and everyone gives ideas..so that's cool..
Yesterday (into midnight or so today), we filmed at Jim (the teacher)'s house..it's not the lastest they had shot until..I guess they shot until 2 a.m. or so for the "Mary Gets Murdered" scene..Some of the scenes were up stairs and they told me it would only take 15 min., so I didn't go up all those stairs..well, it ended up being 1 hour or so(?) I think..
Jim (the teacher) put the movie "Trainspotting" on for us to get inspiration, I guess..There was nudity and sex and Randy (who plays the main character) joked about how he thought what he had to do for our film was tough, but it's nothing like the actors in that film..I was like, saying how funny that would be to have, but they probably wouldn't show it on campus..
Next thing I know, later on, they decide to have a topless scene as part of the coming down montage..Ashley (the actress) I guess has done nude modeling before..what cracks me up is that only Randy and Jim (the student) were in the room and I'm thinking, um..we are all going to see it when we are editing and the school and people in Columbus will see it when the film is finished..
I listened to Jim (the teacher) direct the "come down scene" and I can just picture it in my head after watching the Trainspotting come down scene..Jim (the student) arrived a little late and said it looks like they were having an orgy because even the people shooting the scene were in bed lol..and Tom came down and was like, "You do not wanna see that.."
Later on, during the "He finds the necklace and throws up" scene, they told us (downstairs) to be quiet, so they all went outside, I stayed in and played with the dog..I heard Randy doing fake throw up noises..then he came down and went outside..Then I hear someone pour water a couple of times in the toilet and I thought we are just going to combine the two noises..
Then I heard "CHUG CHUG CHUG.." and VERY realistic puking noises..it made me sick to hear it..soon after that, Jim (the student) came down and said, "I don't know what you think of Tom, but he's ok in my book.." lol I guess Tom actually made himself throw up for the scene!
So yeah, it was interesting and fun :o) It also was interesting driving back at night in the rain with few to no street lights..I went 15 under the speed limit and it took around 90 min. to get home..
Well, I gotta go to the Spring Fling!! See ya!!
Only in my house can a 5 min. visit for an Ace bandage turn into a 45+ min. visit that has them run the vacuum sweeper while my mom gets her much needed rest for her illness..
oh, well..I keep forgetting that no matter how late you go to bed (I often go at 2 or 4 a.m.), you must get up at 6 or 7 a.m. like "normal" people..and that 3-4 hours of sleep is perfect in this house..heck, it's pretty much all you can get during the weekdays and some weekends..
Also, in my house, it doesn't matter if you are working on homework or copying a paper over, you aren't allowed to put your books down on a nearby couch without it being in danger of being thrown away..As I speak, I'm holding my science book under my chin so I can type my prelab after this blog..
And my dad's right..I do cry too much..I mean gawd! I cry about once or twice every month or two (for 30 min. at the most)..I've already cried twice this month, which sucks..one of those times because I accidently had my arm in the way of a door (I cried for like, a whole minute!)..that hurt like hell, but that's no reason for me to cry..I'm trying to see if I can get it to once every 3 months or 6 months..but I think I'll have a long wait before that and I have to find something to numb my pain and something to keep me manic..
Today, I found out that whining, yelling, heck just being negative is concidered "crying"..so scrap that last paragraph because I'm "crying" in this post..
Sorry about that, I'll try to be a little more positive and happy in my upcoming posts..
Other than that, I happened along a site with tons of caffeinated things..It's SO tempting to by the chocolate chews with 100 mg of caffeine each or the cafeinated water (200 mg per 8 oz.)!
..as you can see by my current daily photo I got my license Friday!
So now, instead of "Can you reschedule?" "I don't feel good enough to go." and "That's kinda far, isn't it?", I get "Are you sure you're going to be ok?" "Maybe I should come with you one more time." "Don't they know that's a bad neighborhood??"..
I was sick on Saturday and when I woke up and about ready to go, it was raining here in Ashville and the weather channel said there were going to be thunderstorms and the radar had rain over Franklin and Pickaway..I called to see if we were still shooting the exterior shots..BUT of course, it turned into a nice sunny day..But I also had a stuffed up nose, coughing, feaver, etc. and I was trying to ignore it as usual, hoping it would go away by the time I'd have to leave, but it didn't..it didn't clear up until about 5 or 5:30 p.m...
Then, I had to say I couldn't go Sunday night because I forgot it was Mother's Day and I kept saying to my parents, "Can't we have it early in the day, so I can go with my class?"..but they wanted a later dinner..
We saw "Sahara"..it wasn't too bad..it looks like a movie I'd see on TNT in 2-3 years..the funny thing is that the main dude's sidekick looked a lot like a classmate of mine..lately, I've been seeing that in every movie I see..
as for the class project, I came up with how I'll probably make the trailer while I was at the movies yesterday..I just hope I can get it to look like what's in my head..
Well, nothin' else is much happening..which I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing..
My driving test was rescheduled for tomorrow..
I uploaded a photo I took for the collab class and got a comment like, "It looks like a magazine"!!!! So yeah, that pic is SO going to be one of my final photos!!
I got a photo of the aftermath of a car wreck..
I found out that SoBe Adrenaline engery drink also comes in sugar free (which tastes better and has ZERO calories and 1g of carbs! And yet has 79mg of caffiene like I crave)..
Thanks to Tom and Jennifer for signing my Guestbook!
Some production stills of "Relapse" (the movie my class is making) coming soon!
Dan, my driving teacher, is sick, so I'm not getting my license tomorrow..
I've been driving a lot, tho..a lot of it is on roads I've never been on..
for the last two weeks, I've had only about 2-4 hours of sleep a night and have been more physically active than usual with driving, doing photography, and helping with the AVP film..I've also had less food because there's no time to eat..it all caught up with me yesterday when I felt like crap and could barely move because I was so exhausted..so I finally took a day off..but like usual, my "day off" turned into working on the laptop and company coming over, somewhat unexpected..
Ironically, even with less food, I haven't lost any weight..I guess it doesn't help that the only food I have been eating is a McDonalds' meal once during the day and a couple of bowls of peas or something veggie or fruit like at night..the Mickey D's food just gives me over 1,200 calories in a sitting.......darn pancakes!!!
One of these days I will lose 25-50 lbs (25 would get me to be a "healthy" weight and 50 would get me to have a "socially acceptable" weight)..my problem is my water retention making me look 25-50 lbs. heavier (especially in my face)..
Oh, well..
