Yes, indeed. Your Roonil is a paid extra in a film.
Basically, my magikiel skewl sends out weekly-- or so-- emailsthat I instantly mark as read and send to my special folder for things I don't care about with information about random things, and this week's included the information for being in a movie!
The movie is called "CRY" and I really want to see it. It looks rather good. Basically, it's supposed to be like some feel-good story about a Karofsky/Kurt type thing like from Glee? But not. I'll properly explain the plot once I've actually seen it or something.
Basically, I showed up at the Episcopal School of Dallas at 9 in the morning and signed some papers and then WAITED
FOR
FIVE
HOURS
Because I wasn't in the "gym scene" so they told us they'd call us when they needed us, which turned out to be after 2.
BUT THEN
THE CAMERAS SHOWED UP
AND THE MAIN CHARACTERS SHOWED UP
And we sat some more, and the director put us in different chairs at different tables and things, and this girl from mah skewl did my makeup like REALLY well and it made me happy, and then they started filming.
The way filming works is that first they film a scene all the way through, from far away. Then they break the scene up into bits and film the same bits from lots of different angles; what the extras have to do in the background is mime-talk and the same thing over and over again for continuity reasons.
It was great, though. It was supposed to end at 5:30, but then they changed it to 6:30, but I stayed until 7 and they still weren't done filming then so I had to leave D:<
It was absolutely lovely and I recommend it to everyone.
SO
MAH BERFDAI PARTEHHwhich was ages ago but I had no desire to blog about it then
It was on October 29th and it was made of buckets of fun.
HERE'S WHO CAME
Salamander.
Pegasus.
Ginger.
Appletree.
Owly-- this guy from my school that I eat lunch with every day. He's rather excellent.
Me.
Neither VeroniGURM (Veronica IRL, she has her own bloug so I know it's safe to use her real name) nor Umbrella could come, which was initially a HUGE concern!
BECAUSE
You know, one girl, 5 boys-- UTTER CHAOS. Boys don't like doing orderly things, they like chaos. They're completely ADD and can't stay focused on one activity for a long time, so we were hoping that the two other girls who were invited would bring some order.
(KAHT'RIIN'V AND SARG RICE before you get offended that I didn't invite you, please remember that I have a couple very different groups of friends, just like I did last year, and this is the extremely loud group and you don't know any of them and you'd feel very left out and gerbil-hand-y. We should meet up some weekend for tea. Soon.)
Alas, no girls-- other than me, but I live there-- could come, so my parental units and I were getting genuinely worried about what we were going to do at said parteh!
I claimed that, knowing my friends, there was no way we could be bored, but no one listened to me. After many arguments and hurt feelings, we decided on pumpkin carving and Scott Pilgrim and cake.
AS SOON AS MY FRIENDS GET THERE
(list of presents, by the way:
Appletree: iTunes gift card
Ginger: Barnes and Noble gift card
Owly: ADIPOSE FROM DOCTOR WHO KJAHGJIUGHVKGYJIUSGYJIGKYUG
Pegasus: MY LITTLE PONY TOY UGYIUGMUGNMOGOGMGOU<Y and a really epic card, and an iTunes gift card, and yeah.
Salamander: nothing.)
AS SOON AS THEY GET THERE
Ginger led us on a scary chase across the entire house as he hid in cupboards and showers and closets and rooms and that went on for two hours or so. Then we went downstairs and had dinner, which no one finished because we were loling so hard.
GUESS WHO SAT NEXT TO ME AT DINNER
YEAH YOU GUESSED RIGHT
WE HAD ANOTHER EPIC SINGING DUET AND IT WAS LOVELY
AND THE OTHER KIDS SHOWED US PICTURES OF FRANK FROM DONNIE DARKO WHICH IS THE SCARIEST MOVIE OF ALL THE MOVIES AND WE SHRIEKED IN FEAR TOGETHER
...if you didn't guess that Salamander sat next to me, kindly facepalm yourself for me.
ANYWAY
Yeah. Around a half hour after we started eating, I brought up the point of hypothetical pumpkin carving to teh kiadz and was met with general apathy.
SO THERE
Appletree left at like 6:30 and Salamander had to leave at 7:30 *HISS* but everyone else-- except Owly-- left at 9.
Owly stayed until like 11 BECAUSE HE COULD. It was fun fun fun fun because I gave him Salamander's number and we texted him creepy things from Owly's phone until late at night and it was phun.
(Before you ask... I don't like Owly, not like that. He knows about Salamander because he and VeroniGURM are like my school support group where I whinge about Salamander and what he does to my emotions. Owly is like my guy best friend. And before you ask, no, he's not gay.)
So there you have it.
OH YEAH
Also, today is Julius Caesar, and Salamander is Brutus (prepare yourself for rant of love)
AND I AM SO PROUD OF MY BOY AND HE ACTUALLY IS THE MAIN CHARACTER BECAUSE CAESAR DIES IN ACT 3 AND ALL THE EXPERTS WONDER WHY IT'S NOT CALLED "THE TRAGEDY OF MARCUS BRUTUS" AND HIS DEATH CLOSES OFF THE PLAY AND I'LL PROBABLY CRY BECAUSE EVEN HE GETS A LITTLE EMOTIONAL ONSTAGE DURING REHEARSAL AND IUGIUYMGRUOYGMUYH I'M GONNA GO BACKSTAGE AFTERWARDS AND INTRODUCE HIM TO VERONIGURM BECAUSE SHE'S COMING TOO AND IYGOMYUSHGVROUHGVOJ HE WILL BE SO BEAUTIFUL ONSTAGE AND OFF
YDGISYUMG,OUIYGMBMUYGEMBOYUHB
Done. Sorry.
KLOL
There you have it.
This has been a monster post and I probably forgot a lot of lovely things that Salamander said to me, but I'll mayberead:never make a post of those latarz once I remember them.

I never know how to end these.
1) omg dat's cool. Neat-o, in fact.
ReplyDelete2) I don't think sarg rice reads your blog so much...
3) Everything about that demographic would have been uncomfortable and awkward and I trust your judgement.
4) MOAR TEA. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
5) There's some Julius Caesar thing going on at my school today...
6) no comment
7)bye-bye
No, I'm glad you had fun. Good for you and your life. It makes me happy to hear these things, honestly. Have moar fun and keep blogging about said fun.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's really cool for you to be an extra. Exciting.
And whatever that large block of all caps is at the end, that's great. Embrace life.
HAHAHABUKITSTEEHEEHEE
ReplyDeleteYour party sounds delightful and phun and very chaotic, but still PHUN. It sounds very party-ish. Usually my sleepovers/parties with my friends end with lots of footage of us doing stupid stuff and frozen pizza eating and me finding miscellaneous items all around the house, like socks and deodorant and silly bands.
OMGMOOOOVIESOPHUN I will email you my THOTS on this later because this comment is long.
