Well that may be over-exaggerating it by a very large amount but yesterday evening I was the protagonist in Lewis' short film. It involved a bed and some hands and no it's not what you think! Basically, I was someone who couldn't sleep (thus I had to be in my PJ's) because of my over-active imagination. Every time I went to sleep I had these nightmares which involved something to come and get me, hands to be precise.
So Lewis got into director mode and bossed me, Ellie and Matt around for a while. I'm not that confident in front of the camera so I was a little scared because I'd never really done proper acting before and you know how much I laugh, I didn't think I'd be able to keep a straight face but I think I managed it rather well. So I had to get into bed, we used Ellie's bed sheets because mine weren't feminine enough!!! Matt was under the bed and Ellie was in my wardrobe so they could reach out their hands towards me without actually grabbing me. In the mean time, I had to "writhe" on the bed, like I was having a bad dream then sit up right suddenly and gasp loudly. Was very odd but I hope it all comes out okay for him because he was very grateful that I helped him out. Plus he was so focused last night, he said in his blog it took his mind off his situation at the moment which is really good, I understand how hard it is to put those sort of things to the back of your mind.
After all, I've been really worrying about something that is months away. It's silly but all I can see is me breaking down at some point which I do not want. But hey, things may change before then but I seriously doubt it. I have no idea when things will change. I hate having this doubt, it's a constant worry that I'm just going to be left behind and forgotten about. I really can't get it off my mind, I am paranoid. Sigh. Filming took this all of my mind for a while though. Which was good.
I woke up this morning and it was pitch black in my room still so I assumed it was still early right? Well I got a knock on my door and I assumed it would be the cleaning lady complaining about something. But no, it was Ellie. I was briefly blinded by the light before taking a letter off her which was a £20 cheque from doing my gaming survey! Get in! I'd completely forgot about that, I'm so glad I did it now. Easiest £20 of my life, well actually, I did do another survey before for £20 cash when I was 15 pretending to be 16, ha! Ellie told me the time, it was 10 minutes before I had to leave to walk to my next lecture!!!! FUUUU
I got there on time though, doesn't take me 5 minutes to get ready really and I munched a quick banana before I left so my stomach didn't complain through those 2 hours. We had a fire alarm that lesson. Being evacuated out of a huge 5 storey building when you're on the 4th floor is not fun. The sheer amount of people walking down the same outside fire exit stairs. I thought it was never going to end! I stuck with a girl who was in my class, we exchanged a few words and she seems like a nice person after all. We didn't have to wait too long to go back in but it felt like an age. It was just a drill as we all suspected but it was rather funny that I seemed to be the first person to hear the damn alarm going off. The teacher just ignored it until someone made him evacuate us. Ahh lecturers, gotta love them.
