joy to all the animation majors... plus, another wacky dream!
so the screening was AWESOME.
my film was, I think, the 3rd one shown... when the music came on it surprised me so much. my heart started pounding in my chest and I almost couldn't breathe. I was wedged in between austin and ashley, and I think they were trying to touch me or pat me or something (like as a "ohmygod this is so exciting!!" kinda thing, but I was so out of it I didn't even notice any audience reaction.
other awesome films: iggy's, about a soldier who goes off to war (set to a coldplay song...I almost started crying); ashley's, which made me SO PROUD OF HER!!! it was so great, so funny....so much drama and so much anime!!!... and kristina's surprised me a lot, because she gave me a starring role instead ofjust a credit, as in "starring someone, someone else, and kristen preusser." I was so surprised! but it was a badass trailer, and I was delighted. I also really liked a lot of others... cassie's, scott's, steve's, jenna's... I was so proud of everyone (especially ashley and myself).
now, about this dream I had last night.... sooo weird.
so, austin and I were getting married-- like, right now, at this point in our lives. and I didn't know it. it was like a "surprise kristen by waking her up and telling her she's a bride" kinda thing. so I have all these people pull me out of bed and then austin's dad comes out of nowhere and gives me this wedding dress. he said it was a dress passed down from his family, but it wasn't even a very long dress (just barely passed my knees) and it was all very confusing. some of my friends were there, and even some of my extended family, but not my immediate family like my parents and sister.
I put the dress on, and then I accepted the fact that I would be getting married today, so I shrugged off the confusion for a bit to prepare. my wedding party (I guess the equivalent of my bridesmaids and whatnot?) all took me to a mall, ran me up to the top floor to the roof, and we walked to this odd little house on the corner of the roof. it kinda looked like a wood cabin. some people I didn't recognize ushered us all in. I'm fairly certain that the house was only for getting ready and the reception, and not where the wedding would be held.
anyway, everyone there was all dressed up and scrambling around. I started to feel giddy to think that everyone was doing so much work because of me, because I was getting married. I saw my aunt penny and I told her I was worried that I didn't have anything blue, borrowed, or new for the customary wedding thing. she shrugged and told me to look around and be creative.
then it dawned on me that no one had yet given me my veil to wear, nor was I given any jewelry, nor was my hair done. I found noel sitting on the couch in the living room of the house, and I asked her if she had a cross necklace. she said yes, even though I don't think noel would wear one (*shrug*)... but then she said it was a black stone necklace and that it would clash with my dress, and she also didn't have it on hand.
I kept looking for something blue, something new, and something borrowed, but I thought that I wouldn't find anything unless my mother showed up. it then occurred to me that my parents probably didn't even know about the wedding, and I got sad that they wouldn't be there.
then, shiboo showed up, and I was relieved. I told her I needed to find the things for the custom before I could get married. she said she would go look for some things in the mall for me, and she was off. it was a long time before she came back, and when she did, she had nothing. she looked really sad, like she had been crying, and she had her cell phone in her hand.
just then, my cell phone rang, and it was jason. he told me he wanted to talk to shiboo. I said into the phone, "well, jason, I'm getting married today. and shiboo is my maid of honor. and I really need her help right now." but he begged me to give the phone to her, so I did, and she left again. then I felt even more panicked.
I went back into the house and tried to find someone who'd do my hair, but everyone was busy doing less important stuff like making centerpieces, cooking and baking, calling caterers and the band for the reception, wrapping presents, yada yada. I wanted to go find austin, and I wanted to go to the church, but I thought that both of those would be bad luck while I was in my wedding dress before the ceremony. just as I began to look for my veil, I woke up.
....weird, huh?
it was confusing and strange, but I liked it anyway.

I'll update again when I get back home, unless I have time to do it again tonight.
