Fearsome

The trickle of sweat that traced its way down your spine leaves a cold thread along the length of your back. The skin of your arms feels like freshly plucked gooseflesh, and your pupils dilate, taking in the fear. Your heart starts beating louder, harder, to an intensity that is rib-snapping, and your breathing becomes ragged and harsh. Fear makes your throat tighten, it is impossible to whisper, to scream. Squeeze your eyes shut and press your palms to your ears, block out the terror.

Last night, I went with some friends to see the new horror flick, Insidious. It was truly a terrifying experience. The elements of startling pop-ups and suspense mixed with amazing effects and makeup make this film one to fear. This is the type of movie to make one sleep with the lights on, to jump at every creak of the house. I had gone home hoping to wake up in the morning, hoping to be possession-free, hoping to open my eyes and NOT see demons, ghosts, etc... When a film can do this to me, I know its done a good job earning the title of a Scary Movie. My friends had been freaked out, too. I'm glad we went, it was a fun evening.

I'm looking forward to the next time Sydney and I can street preform. I love sitting out there, inhaling the sea breeze, and letting the people listen to our music. Its fun, relaxing, plus an easy way to make a couple bucks. Next time, we will plan to spend more time on the beach.

Sometimes I worry that my mentor, Doster, thinks I sit around not doing anything...I mean, I am in his class  first and fourth hour, usually, and a lot of the time, I'm working on WISE things, such as critiquing movies, researching, writing short film ideas, but I can't always be editing or filming, it takes more than me, and the dependency I have on my friends is an issue, I  can't count on them to be there whenever I need them, they're busy people, just like myself... Hopefully, Hannah will remember that we have plans to film tomorrow, I need to get all the shooting done tomorrow night, and edit it by Friday...I'm sure I can do it, I just need an actor...

Friday I go to the hospital for an X-ray and an Ultrasound... I'm nervous they'll find a kidney stone.
