Week: 35
Songs to Remember:

        First things first: prom photo-shoots, will not really want to do again, but will probably do still next year. I am now sick of Taemin's "Drip Drop," both the song and dance because I've listened to the song over a 100 times already, and have practiced the dance multiple, multiple times. And finally: my neck and back are fucking sore, heh.

        So it was 9:00 AM basically when I woke up. I did wake up at 8:30 AM, but I hit the snooze button 'till 9:00 AM. I was almost late for the shoot, fortunately, I wasn't the last one to arrive, so. I got to the parking lot and felt pretty embarrassed, only 'cause I was the only one there, with a tuxedo. Like, the others weren't there (I soon didn't care about what people thought about me 'cause I reminded myself that I wasn't gonna see these people in my life ever again. The public, I mean). Thankfully, Dv arrived about a few minutes after I did.

        We went inside the garden, walked around for a bit before finally coming across Ec and Mc, along with the photographer and his assistant. We took some singles before Ek finally arrived, around 30 minutes late, but it was whatever. And uh, generally it was a very positive atmosphere, The photographer reminded me a lot of this one guy in my Bio class, both in looks and speak.

        We had some bootleg pics such as ones with our animal hats (or, really, two of us had animal hats, the other two had Santa hats). Uhh, I did one in a jutsu pose for shits and whatever, heh. Umm, the shoot ended at 11:30 AM, and by that time, we were all fucking tired as hell. The photographer left and the rest of us started planning my music video, directed by me.

        And no, unfortunately the music video did not go as well as I had thought it'd be, heh. Stabilizing the camera wasn't an option, so Ec had to film it all while standing in one spot, so, no angles or anything. Umm, dancing in a tight tuxedo (mostly the collar), with dress shoes, yeah, that's a nono. I filmed a separate shot for the jump scene, and uh, the rest was just 2 full run-throughs so that I can pick good scenes out of and cut it all together.

        I'm sorta deciding to just film myself in my backyard instead, only because then I could dance more comfortably, rather than stiffening my moves due to my attire, heh. Umm, but the Naruto opening filming went alright. Oh yeah, uh, apparently a lot of people like to go to the Japanese garden on Saturdays, because there were people who saw me dancing and looked, and guess what? I didn't fucking care, heh. I knew that I wasn't going to be seeing these people ever again, they don't know me, I don't know them, they won't recognize me if they do (which is unlikely). So, I could do the most cringey and embarrassing shit and not be ashamed of it.

        And it just so happens that people did take footage of me. Ec said so, but, like I said, I didn't care, heh. Make me famous, why don't they. Umm, like I was saying, for the Naruto filming, I did some bootleg shit like running across pathways with my arms behind my back and a tie tied around my head as a headband. We all did cringey shit (Mc and Ek left because they had shit to do afterwards) but again, we didn't really care, or at least I didn't.

        At around 12:00 AM, we wrapped up the shootings, walked to where we got picked up, went home. I forgot unfortunately, that I had DrewN's birthday party to go to. I was contemplating not showing up because I was really, really tired. Like, my neck was sore, my back was sore, all from waking up so early and wearing a soul-sucking piece of clothing, heh. But, I couldn't miss it, and like, might as well. So, I got home, changed, ate, then went.

        And I'm glad I did. It was DrewN, Jk, Vb, our mutual friend Jh, were there. Ek and Ag didn't show up 'till much later, like, 8:00 PM or something. Lw didn't arrive 'till around 8:30 PM or something since she didn't have a ride, and so Jh drove to go pick her up. We played Soulcalibur IV, MW3, and watched movies like "Kung Fu Killer," "Shaolin Soccer," and "Scary Movie V." Also we took pictures for DrewN's birthday.

         Also, just a fun thing, Dv took a snapchat of me about to dance, and apparently Tu saw it, posted the picture to the KDT group chat and asked if it was me, heh. Yes, yes it was. Uhhh, anyways, got home at 9:30 PM, my shit is still sore, I had a headache during some of the time at DrewN's house, I was falling asleep during some Soulcalibur IV play, only because it was like, past my usual nap time.

        So, as to what is next: I got a final to prepare for, prom (of which thankfully there will be air-conditioning) the movie, Psych work, studying, aaand, editing. Oh and fortunately the guy uploaded the pictures like, around 8:00 PM today, so that was nice. I looked pretty good to be honest, pretty good, heh. Anyways, tired, gonna try to finish the Naruto opening tonight, then off to bed. See ya.
