Destination D-Day

Oh my god. It is absolutely wonderfully amazing to be home. I haven't had any free time since Thursday and it is now the following Wednesday. Really. So I have A LOT to say.

Friday was G'Brella and Brookers birthday. I got them both Starbucks giftcards as a suggestion from Hector. I don't exactly know if they like coffee but there is always food. Anyways, we went to Pump it Up which is some jungle gym like place (don't ask.) But it was really fun. Zoella, Vikpik, Berry, Lolly, Savvy, Jess, Jamsand, Flower, and some others were there. I got a ride from Vikpik and Berry and we arrived late, which is in translation, on time. We went around in all sorts of random contraptions and we got our picture taken AFTER. Typical, after you've messed your hair up in relay races. We filmed part of our now "deleted scene" battle scene in there, but it was so tragic that it should never be mentioned again. Which is why it is a "deleted scene." Not that our current one is any better by any fraction of a sort. Anyways, after we went to the hotel Brella owns to watch a movie. Sixteen Candles won the vote and we saw that. Then it was late, and some other stuff happened and then I went home and slept.

On Saturday we worked on our project at 3:00 and finished around 7:00 but we only got a few scenes done. It was very tiring but pretty fun. I did most of the directing. I also got to play the drums which was the highlight of my day because I love playing the drums, but they were her brothers and alas, not mine.

We left early on Saturday because Diva and I went to go see an operetta our school was putting on called "The Purple Polka Dotted Predicament." I still had my lipstick wound on my shoulder and I'm sure it looked really gross and I can't tell you how many times I had to say it was only lipstick. Anyways the play was original and written by the kids in the vocal and music conservatory at school but it was... ok, i mean it wasn't that bad. We kind of left during intermission which I feel really bad about but we had ADD issues going on and we wanted to see the EVA art show because our friends had artwork in there. We started off looking for Gelly's artwork and we couldn't find any and then we found this huge picture of her face, and we went, "well, i guess that's hers then." but it wasn't! It was Lirpa's. There were TONS of pictures of Gelly EVERYwhere and they were all Lirpa's!!! And they aren't even best friends, so it was a bit creepy, but the pictures were pretty good.

Sunday we worked from 11:30 until 11:00. On a school night. Yeah. And we didn't even finish it then. It took us over five hours to film three four minute scenes which is utterly ridiculous really. I edited the rest Monday after school, and we lost a lot of footage that we tried to replace, but we couldn't get all of it.

Yesterday after school I also worked on it after school until 11:30 which is why I got no sleep. I finally finished the editing and putting in the subtitles, but the audio kept going off so I had to recut and paste the audio several times. There are a lot of my crap improv scenes and this has high potential for being humiliating tomorrow, you don't even know. Then we couldn't get the video to burn onto a DVD and it was due today. Brella even skipped first period today to work on getting it on a DVD with her dad and all they could do was get it on a flash drive but Legally Blonde wouldn't accept it and now its going down a letter grade, so the highest we can get tomorrow is a B and we won't even get that because its unlikely we get 100% for that B. I am unbelievably pissed because I worked my ass off on that stupid project and should get more than a flipping B. This is history, not flipping video film. I wish we just had a test. But no, no test, instead we get this crap. I would have got an A on the test and finished it in one period. God her class is ridiculous.

On Monday after school I had to wait for my dad to pick me up and so I went riding around in Hectors car thingy with Carebear and her friend. It was really fun. We also got to see his photo album from Europe. At one point he asked us if we wanted babies and we got really confused but it turns out the "babies" were really tiny gummy bears that were SOOOO cute! Then I got off when I saw my friends and I talked to Jess, Magnet, Jamsand, and Lexer. Anyways, apparently I knew magnet before this year which I had no idea of. Apparently we even had conversations in the quad. My memory is ridiculously crap. This has happened to me so many times. With Brookers, and with Gelly. Well, if I ever make any new friends, I'll just go "do i know you?" first. Anyways my dad also bought another new TV again. Good lord. He just bought a new one two months ago. I don't even watch TV. In fact, Brella doesn't even know how to turn on her TV. Anyways, he put it right in front of our other TV and it looks ridiculous. When my mum gets home she is going to kill him. He also bought lots of speakers and other things as such. I was stuck in the car until 9:30. When he finally got back, I said I was really angry that he dragged me along because he said he needed my help when he clearly didn't. And then he said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'll go buy you those speakers you want for your iPod." The nerve!!! Trying to buy me off! Although I did shut up because I do want those speakers, and it would be beneficial for my pocket book if I did not have to pay for them.

We also had spanish presentations yesterday but ours was pretty sad. There was some really pro ones though. We also had to come up with ten original questions to ask ten people in our class and there were some weird questions. I got really confused on one question where someone asked me how old i was when i first learned to talk and it pretty much went like this:
"How old were you when you learned to talk?
"Two."
"Two??"
"Four."
"FOUR?!"
"Yeah, why not four?"
"Uh... ok..."
"I DON'T KNOW!"
I then realised that it's common sense that you should be capable of talking before you enter kindergarten. Don't know, that's just my opinion. That sounds like a German word. I don't like it.

We had dinner at Brella's house and I told her I didn't particularly like living in Italy and she was very surprised. I told her I liked France, and then I said I didn't like Germany, and she said, "Most people don't." Which was hilarious but not good if you were the german person in our video. Yes, we actually have German and Italian in our video, even though we are supposed to be the allied side. Right.

Gelly is going to go to kinko's to see if she can get the flash drive turned into a DVD. I sure as hell hope so. I will argue my ass of if we get a C for it being two days late. Today we watched some videos in class which were hilarious. Mads and the knave's were really funny. I also liked the others. One had a perfume ad that was pretty brill. Oh dear, ours is very boring. But at least Brella can now see that I am not the only camera person who zooms in on peoples faces. Right.

Interestingly as well, today Frenchy came over and felt it necessary to tell me something important. Which was that my friend Nettie cheated. Again. This time on a random guy with another random guy. How lovely. I don't know what he thinks I can do about it, but it's always awkward discussing those things.

Anyways, I've been at this for a while and I think I'll just let the day continue to see what else can possibly happen. adios for now. i am leaving.

Side note: I've also forgotten about noticias again but then, I wasn't even home... I was in someone else's home working really very hard on a crap project so... whoever complains can stuff it.
