Film

I know there are some mistakes but this is basically the template for the film. Of course it will be long and there will be an actual story line at some point, you know with actors and images and stuff. But I am so happy I've already done so much! And I think the music so far works really well. Can't wait until November!

The Girl and the Pig

My new artistic obsession is currently the title of this post. The Girl and the Pig is the story of a young girl who has been exiled and labeled an outcast from society because of her differences. These differences being her ability to speak and the small plush pig she carries around with her. I have no idea how I came up with this idea, honestly it sort of just happened. I suppose when I'm writing a film I have to centre it around what actors I can use, the main ones being myself, Bridgette and her younger sister Eleanor. It's good really because all three of us do like acting and since we all know each other acting together is easy. So whenever I write I use Eleanor as a kind of focus. If I can create a character centred around her I feel as though I'll have more success in creating one, basically because I feel more inclined to continue writing if I know I can actually finish it.

The Girl and the Pig will be filmed in black and white to the sounds of Bauhaus and Radiohead, with flashbacks in old film and another character called Beastgirl, played by Bridgette Brown. It's only going to be short. I went to a seminar in June at Supanova about film and I was told that the best way to start is with Shortfilms, so this is what this is, a really really short film. I can picture it only being 10-15 minutes long. It isn't the kind of story that doesn't need to be long. It begins with the girl leaving society, being alone and confused and remembering how she came to leave (through flashbacks). Then she meets the Beastgirl, and she realises that she isn't the only one alone, and she can be happy living like this. But she is still tormented and with an odd understanding the Beastgirl comforts her and she comes to accept what society is and becomes a beast to the modern world; something hiding in the bush, watching.

Obviously I know it's going to be hard to convey that particular idea onto screen but it'll be fun to try!

We're going to try and film some time in November, after our exams.

October

I thought I'd start off the October posts with a little art

because apparently, life is excellent

So far I have to say these holidays have been nothing short of extraordinary. That's pretty sad when I say I have spent it with the same group of people but honestly, it really couldn't be better. I don't care that I have certain people I could probably spend the rest of my life with. I love them. Is there anything greater then that? I don't know, probably world peace or an end of famine, but I think without those problems the world would be boring. The world isn't about being perfect. The world is about suffering shit but always finding that bubble where you can be happy and love the people you're with. You just have to find it and know how to get back.

I'm going to the Royal Show tomorrow with Bridgette and her family. This is great because the last time I went was a few years a go and also I went with Tim, Grace and Bryce, which isn't a bad thing, it's just weird looking back on. Well okay, I hate Grace now, but whatever. We had a good day. I bought the Elmo Showbag if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if I'm going to get one tomorrow, I'm more for the poster place we found last time and stocking up on something yummy since I'm sure last time these massive posters were only $10 or something similar.

The only weird thing about going this time is the last time I did go I was er, dating Tim which explains why I went with him but I don't know, it'll just bring back a lot of strange memories. What with -

Oh I'm sorry, I nearly began a naughty rant.

I'm going to stop now before I say something really bad. Please excuse me.

[Her:]
Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my ma and pa,
Not the way that I do love you.

[Him:]
Holy, Moley, me, oh my,
You're the apple of my eye,
Girl I've never loved one like you.

[Her:]
Man oh man you're my best friend,
I scream it to the nothingness,
There ain't nothing that I need.

[Him:]
Well, hot and heavy, pumpkin pie,
Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ,
Ain't nothing please me more than you.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

La, la, la, la, take me home.
Mother, I'm coming home.

[Him:]
I'll follow you into the park,
Through the jungle through the dark,
Girl I never loved one like you.

[Her:]
Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alley-ways and pay phone calls,
I've been everywhere with you.

[Him:]
We laugh until we think we’ll die,
Barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you

[Her:]
And in the streets you run afree,
Like it's only you and me,
Geeze, you're something to see.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

La, la, la, la, take me home.
Daddy, I'm coming home.

(Talking)
Him: Jade
Her: Alexander
Him: Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me.
Him: Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
Her: Yes I do.
Him: Well there's something I never told you about that night.
Her: What didn't you tell me?
Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you til just now.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is where I'm alone with you.

[Him:]
Home. Let me come home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

[Her:]
Ahh home. Yes I am ho-oh-ome.
Home is when I'm alone with you.

Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alley-ways and pay phone calls...

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is where I'm alone with you..

Have you been eating bunnies?

It's the holidays. Whoooo! Oh yeah, I'm so totally not really that excited. The year is going to quick for my taste. Winter seemed non-existent. Not to long ago I was complaining about going to school again and wishing for the next set of holidays. Now they're here. It's already been nearly three months since I started writing this blog and I can already picture Christmas. There's something wrong with the world. It's like we're jumping on a time loop, fast forwarding accidentally, like maybe someone's sitting on the remote or theirs some dodgy wiring. I'm finding myself sitting alone and trying to remember everything that happened day and finding that I can't. I can't remember anything. So far most things come back to me but I can't help wondering why that is. Is it just me? Or is it something else?

I think this year has been good. I mean, I went to England and I started year ten and I turned fifteen and I've been single all year and pretty happy about it. I've declared my love and found a true friend and made some new ones. I've seen a true hero of mine perform on stage and seen one of my favourite bands live but I feel as though there is something missing, like I'm forgetting something. Like maybe when someone sat on the remote my head skipped a few weeks or months and now I'm here, wondering what went wrong.

The year seems incomplete. There is this gap and it needs filling and so far I haven't found something that fits and I'm not really sure that I ever will. I'm excited for next year because I'll be in upper school and high school will be over soon but I'm sure I'm exactly ready for it. I'm not entirely positive that when I get there I'll know what to do and if I'll be able to cope. I'm far to complicated for my own good. It's hurting my head.

Wait, I'm a guy

There is a reason for the lack of blogging lately. I've been a bit busy watching a particular show...so, remember when I had that obsession with Angel Season Four and Angel's son Connor? Ah well, I similar thing has happened. Only it's with Vampire Diaries and this time main character Elena's younger brother Jeremy. Who is the yummiest person ever in existence!

A photo from my favourite episode so far, Season 1 - Haunted. It has the best lighting as you can see from the photo. And it's filmed in a really creepy but sexy way. Because well, Jeremy just has that effect on me. Did I say I love his voice? No. Did I tell him it's adorable when he's drunk and falls over when yelling at Elena? No. Well, he is. If I were to have the perfect boyfriend he would be it.


Oh, and he looks yummy when he looks kind of evil and pissed off as well. He he.

Well it's cool because I've been watching them from this site called TVduck. The download is usually pretty fast when my internet is in a good mood and if I'm not in my room. Deep sigh. But it's great because I can just leave episodes up and watch scenes whenever I feel like it! I think I've watched Haunted about fifty times. Truly my favourite episode.

Yummy (:
