I was totally writing this earlier and then I fell asleep.

ha ha ha. In all seriousness though, I really was writing this blog at around 5 p.m., but then I fell asleep while working on a video I filmed today.
Today was a good day. The weather has been nice, and even right now I'm cuddled in my duvet because I'm too lazy to close the window and it's very windy.
Nothing much happened in costuming today. No making clothes out of huge sheets of fabric or trash bags. :[
We are starting this project though, where we have to choose a period in time and make a "mood board", which shows all the things that encompass your costume concept on a poster board. So like, fabric, pictures, words, stuff like that. The era I chose was the 1890's, because I was watching The Importance of Being Earnest on Monday, and I absolutely love the dresses and clothing style, even in the men. We have to bring up ideas out of pictures we find, but ultimately come up with our very own costume from that era. We only have to do one, but I also loved the men's style, so I'm going to make a couple's outfit. I'm quite excited. I've already started sketches and put like a billion pictures into a folder on my desktop.



Just a lovely period of clothing.

After class, I went home quickly to grab all my filming gear, then went to pick up my friend Ben so we could go to my other friend Sadaf's house to record a song. I think we shot more "bloopers" than we did the actual song. haha. I'm going to make a video just for the bloopers, because they're quite funny. Most of them are making fun of Ben for looking like Taylor Lautner. He leaves for Washington tomorrow, where he's going to college.
 the video is now processed and can be found here. :]

After that, I came home, ate a slice of pizza, started writing this blog, then fell asleep while importing the video from my camera.
I'm still really tired, so I'm off to bed now.
Hopefully I can get a blog in before midnight for tomorrow's blog.
Catch you on the flip side.



oh, P.S., do you ever get that feeling of "Oh my god, what time is it, where am I" feeling when you get woken up suddenly? My grandpa knocked on my door so loudly today when I was taking a nap and it scared the crap out of me, and I woke up, looked at the time, and it said 6:10, and I thought "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T SET MY ALARM LAST NIGHT AND NANA IS JUST NOW WAKING ME UP AND I NEED TO GET READY REALLY FAST". Then I realised it was P.M., not A.M., and that it was in fact my grandpa being obnoxious, not my nana waking me up telling me I'm late. It was a weird feeling, and it took me a while to clear my brain.

Always late, and puffy faces.

Bloody hell, I am awful at paying attention to the time. One minute it's 10 a.m., the next it's 12:40 a.m. the next day. Blah.
Nothing incredibly exciting happened today except that it was the start of my FOUR DAY WEEKEND WOO.
Monday is Labour Day, which means no school, and I have no classes on Fridays, resulting in a four day weekend!
It's still ridiculously hot here, so I spent most of my time downstairs reading or watching Youtube, instead of being upstairs in my room where it feels like I'm roasting in an oven.
I also have been exploring the new iTunes, and it's pretty weird. I'm not a fan of the new icon; I think it's kind of ugly. But I do think Ping is rather cool. I also had a tiny geek out this morning when I saw that Tom Milsom is"following" me on there, and when I proceeded to share my excitement about it on twitter, he replied back to me saying that it was a "first followers privilege!" because I had "followed" him last night. So, that was the extent of my excitement for today, seeing as he's one of my favourite Youtubers. I hope one day, maybe, we can honestly just be friends through means of Youtube, now that I've started making videos, because I would love to have intellectual banter with him. Is that odd? Most girls who know who like his stuff on Youtube and his music usually go like this: "OHEMGEE TOM MILSOM IS SEWWW CUTE! HIS BLUE HAIR, HIS BRITISH ACCENT, IS JUST, OMG, TO DIE FOR. I TOTALLY WANT TO MEET HIM SO I CAN LIKE CREEP ALL OVER HIM AND HAVE HIS BABIES OR SOMETHING!!!!1#$@$%" While all I want to do is have intellectual conversations with him, because I think he's ridiculously intelligent. I hope that happens one day.

Oh, and a lovely*sarcastic* thing happened to me this morning. I woke up sort of feeling a slight pain in my lower right mouth area, like on the side between my cheek and chin. I didn't think anything of it and thought, 'damn, I'm breaking out or something', until I went to the bathroom and glanced in the mirror. That whole portion of my face was swollen and puffy! It still is and I have had ice packs on it all day. It also hurts extremely. I'm thinking maybe it's some type of bug bite, but you can always tell the difference between bug bites and blemishes, and this one, I have no idea what it is, but I do know that it hurts terribly. Hopefully it will go down sometime today. It's really weird. :/

Well, I'm going to try and stay up to 4 a.m. to catch the opening of Charlie McDonnell and Myles Dyer present StickAID 2010,which is a fundraiser type thing for the charity UNICEF. I want to at least catch some of the opening, and then sleep for a little while, then most likely watch some more, because they are hosting TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. Bless those boys. I wouldn't be able to do it. But determined they are to raise money for charity, which I think is amazing, so I'm helping out as much as I can. If anyone happens to read this, you can watch the live show here. It starts 4 a.m. here in California, which is 12 p.m. in the UK, so yeah, set your times according to that.

MockingJay, new friends, more school, and loneliness.

Today has been a very "blah" mood. I woke up not feeling well, and my mood has just dampened throughout the day. I've just been irritable, and sad. Every little thing seems to set me off today. I've just been feeling so incredibly lonely. I miss my friends. I have no one to talk to in college. Absolutely no one. In between classes I sit by myself under shaded trees and just read until my next class starts. I just can not seem to make a bond with anyone. I miss my friends. I miss seeing them everyday. I miss sharing jokes and stuff with people who understand. I miss being with people who actually understand me. I hardly see Sadaf anymore, and we're still in the same town. I am so filled with jealousy when people update their statuses/twitter/dailybooth/etc. saying how much of a good time they're having in college I mean, I'm happy for them, but I'm so insanely jealous that they seem to be living it up while I'm stuck at home...not living it up. For merlin's sake, I don't even have friends at my college. There's Heather and Sami, but they're a year and 2 years older than me, and their classes are when I have break. I do have my costuming class with Sami, but that's it. I love Heather and Sami, but we've never really bonded as much as me and my other friends. They're great people, don't get me wrong. I love hanging out with them, but I miss my friends from last year.
   And it's not that I even miss high school, because I don't. I hated high school, but I made the most best friends ever.
   I feel like I just completely failed myself. I feel like I didn't try hard enough to get away. I feel like I'm going to end up like my mom and stay in this god forsaken hicktown forever, and oh god, everything is just caving down on top of me and I'm gasping desperately for air. My mind has just been trailing off so much lately, and I can hardly make coherent sentences anymore. I hardly talk to anyone anymore. I just keep to myself. Why do I do this?
I miss you. I miss you so much. I'm fooling no one but myself. I miss you. I hate missing something that was, and never will be mine.
I guess I've become so used to the feeling of loneliness, that it's become the only thing I know how to feel. Loneliness and missing you. I guess they go hand in hand.
How am I going to make it out of this labyrinth with my sanity intact? How will I make it out alive? I wonder if I'll meet the same fate as Alaska. Straight and Fast, but will I be the destruction of myself? I fear it, I really do.
  Okay, for the sake of depressing anyone who is reading this, I'll talk about the good things about my day.
My copies of MockingJay and Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, Volume 6 finally arrived in the mail. I've been waiting forever, and now I can finally read MockingJay! I'm so excited, gah. I love The Hunger Games trilogy.
   School was nice today. Laid back. I was really exhausted for some reason. I guess feeling ill had something to do with that. My theatre teacher is so funny and always has the best lectures. Today he talked about how much he liked Michael Cera. xD Anyone who likes Michael Cera, I like them. :]
  I have recently made a new friend named Vanessa. I seriously think our souls were like, separated from each other at one point in time, because seriously, she is JUST like me. We like all the same stuff, and have all the same thoughts, views, and pretty much agree on everything. She's just fantastic. I met her through Youtube and she lives all the way in Massachusetts, but she's one of the first people to comment on my first video and say how much she likes it and that I should keep it up.:] We talk everyday on Skype. :] She makes videos as well, and has a rad singing voice.
   Well, I should be going to bed soon, but I'm not really that tired because I took a small nap today, so I'm going to watch Drop Dead Diva, then read, then maybe bed.
Good night.
