Bum Bum da dum... I'm bored so I thought I would type up a blog post. So this is going to be random thoughts as I think them and then as they flow onto the keyboard. Oooh, that was a good sentence. I'll have to remember that one. :-)
Currently I'm in the middle of a new Evil Iguana Productions fanvideo (yes another one. But I can't get my greedy fingers on enough Criminal Minds footage to make a good video) and I am stuck. Never knew you could get editors block ;-) I'm just having trouble with some of these clips and making them fit. Probably because I literally spent no time in pre-production, just went right into it. Silly me.
Oh, and I am waiting for my Bran Hambric Necklace to come in!! Kaleb's publisher finally got back to me on Tuesday letting me know that yes, I did qualify and they'll get the necklace out to me soon!
Also, because I don't think I really said anything about it, last Tuesday Mary, Mom and I drove two hours into Chicago to meet Mr. Kaleb Nation! I'll attach my montage video at the end, but here's a quick overview of the trip.
We got there with coffee (Not Starbucks, Caribou which it turns out I do like) and waited roughly 40 minutes, making friends and getting footage of the store. Turns out some of the people we made friends with were friends of his and took him out to dinner afterwords! Mary joked that we should've made better friends :D But he eventually got there (Late, but he came directly off the plane and almost got kidnapped so we forgave him) Did a little speech about becoming a writer, read the prologue to us, and then took questions. Now, I came up with a question and didn't even think before I asked it, so then afterwards as he was answering I started vibrating from nervousness. Not that I asked him something wrong, just what he listened too aside from Lemony Snicket, because I already knew that he listened to that. It was funny, cause I think my question threw him off a tad. Turns out he used to listen to Enya, which I find amusing. Anyways after that he signed my book and Mary's bookmark, and actually pronounced my name right! Which was pretty awesome cause nobody has ever pronounced it right. Mary and I got a picture with him and then headed home!
Unfortunately on the way home I came down with some kind of flu and actualy had to take the next day off of school! We're joking that it was Swine Flu- I mean H1N1 virus. But that was kinda nasty.
And now I am done with my story and am going to go try and make this video work
