April 26Our drama presentation was a flip-flopping whole FORTY minutes long!!
That ought to be a record. Except for the movie that Wes, Cam, and Matt made for Lord of the Flies. I must say, even though I can't seem to recall when this full-length film had its first premier, it was quite the impressive school video project for us 13/14 year-olds. The word "full-length" ought to have shed some light on the work put into it.
But enough about that 2-hour long film. I will not have anything, i repeatm, ANYTHING cover the glorious glamour of the play that I spent 6 hours editing.
Okay, enough credit-whoring. It wasn't that great anyways.
It's actually sort of really stupid. If that sentence made any grammatical sense whatsoever. All I know is that we majorly improvised. But that wasn't bad considering we had 27 whole pages worth of lines. Personnally, I did okay, line-memorization wise. I'm not the best actress. Being able to cry on command isn't all there is to being an actress. Besides, what's the point of being a good actress if I ain't thinking of using that to earn a living? It's all quite contradictory. If you proudly display your superior acting skills to all your "lowly inferiors", surely one day, some paranoid freak will come to question your every move and your every display of emotion.
She's merely acting. they'll say.
Which sort of makes me question if I should cry on command in plays now...
But hey. At least my insane laughter is still genuine. Too bad I can't stop laughing on command.
Dang that Shayan for walking in randomly in the middle of our play and giving us that infamous Shayan look which immediately cracked me up. It didn't help that i had to use a roll of tape as "an expense $50 silver-plated roses". So it sounded something like:
"Here's your... *breathe* Here's your... (let's try that again) Here's your fifty-dol... HAHAHAHAHAH... dollar roses... HAHAHAHAHAHAH"
And what do all my o-so-supporting classmates (esp. Kaitai) do to help me stop laughing?
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, they...
DROP ONTO THE GROUND LAUGHING!!
Wonder if they were laughing with me or laughing
at me.
That's seriously pathetic.

Seems like the entire day was really pathetic and awkward.
Kaitai was walking me home. (He volunteered. like he always does :D ) And because he couldn't stay, I graciously told him i would humour him by walking him to the Kipling stop, just because I'm the gracious lady that I am.
Or not. More like I just want to see him for another 2 minutes.
But shhhhh... That'll be our little secret :)
Only problem was, I only got my 5 second share of what i had anticipated to be 120 seconds.
Call it male-intuition but Kaitai had long (well... 4 seconds) let go of my hand, before he suddenly pointed in the direction of my building to direct my attention to my sister and good o' dad. Perhaps his amazing baseball senses are paying off.
Hey hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not in the least afraid of my parents finding out. In fact, I'm pretty sure that they know of the fact that me and Kaitai share a close if not
intimate relationship. =p
But gee, thanks dad. Thanks for ruining my moment, thanks for making me not say a goodbye to Kaitai... AGAIN!
Throwing you kisses @ 5:13 PM
