Well, here I am, I haven't fallen off a cliff or anything. I know you guys were sick with worry. Here's a summary of the past few days:
Sat - Did absolutely nothing. I mean nothing. So nothing I can't even remember how I whittled away the hours. To the peeps who clearly drugged me, help me out ...
Sun - I went to my first Ren Faire. Hoooooray! I rode in the car with George, Lindsay, Jonathan, Justin and this girl, I think her name is Sally, although I could be wrong, even though I've met her three times ... haa haaa just kidding Sally! We waited at the gate for (unspecified amount of time) Dante and his car posse, which might have been bad, except the delay afforded us the opportunity of seeing a wonderful Captain Jack Sparrow lookalike. He was great. He really was. He had the wrist thing and Jack movements down really well. *Oh sigh, oh sigh sigh* Fabulous.
Then I got to wander around with the accompaniment of seasoned faire-ers. So we wandered. Which basically means I bought lots of things. I also got a Tarot card reading. Which was weird. It's really weird to have people talk about you that you don't know. Some of the things that lady said were spot on (that's so British - I love it). Other things not so much, but close enough that it still made for an interesting experience. But I don't mean interesting in a negative sense. Not the sense in which "people say 'that's interesting' when they're trying not to say 'that's really stupid' " (courtesy of Van Norden).
I eye flirted with this guy playing a musical instrument. It was a lot of fun. I never eye flirt with anyone. I was wearing a mask, and he was too, and it was really great. Really. Greaves let me walk seductively by him again, but then not again, which was probably really smart. :-)
We stopped at IHOP on the way back where I INHALED by dinner. I don't think I've ever eaten a meal faster, and I probably would have been really embarrassed, if it weren't for the fact that other people finished with me as well. He ehee.
Sun night - Motherfuckinhomework. WhyamIsoretarded? ImustbeamasochistandI'mridiculousandcan'teverdoanythingontime. Helpohhelp. Ohwoeisme.
Mon - Class. Ooohh. Highlights (...of BOREDOM!) - dramatic writing in which I had to listen to Steerman read out loud other people's stories from the previous week. I didn't have mine read, which is why I was able to appreciate the other people squirming around in their seats.
Tues - I got to start editing for the first time. This is very important to a potential editor, you have to understand. I got to literally cut my 16mm film. It was great, and really cool. You sit in front of this little machine, and you thread your film on and each sprocket lines of with the end (or beginning) of a frame, which is oh so convenient, and you press down a lever to flatten the film, and then you press down another lever which has a blade on the end of it and voila! Cut film. Then you literally use tape (okay, so it's special tape) to splice it back together and boom! edited film! :-D
Tues night - Happy Birthday Justin. Mmm ... Mug. Mmm, grass. Man oh man. Wonderful.
Wed - Early Chinese Philosophy. Nuf said.
Thurs - That's today! Uh, boring boring, no wait, I walked around with Greaves a lot today and that was fabulous. Fabulous. We bought cheese danishes. Yyyah. And we went on a covert operation. The key word here is covert. Want to know? WELL YOU CAN'T!
Anywayz, that's about it. Geez, this was long. God, no one is even going to bother reading this far down. Oh well.
P.S. AAAH rip off! I'm picking the mood thing, and content and happy bring up exactly the same thing. But they shouldn't, damn it, they're different! Very subtly, but they are! Everyone should check and see if your mood icons are posing.
