DONE!!!

OMG, that was sooooo close!! I was this close to not getting my price, or the certificate for Script Frenzy, which would have been horrible!! Apparently you're supposed to validate your word count with a PDF file, and for the last hour, my parents (because they're soo cool for wanting to help me!!) and I were stressing over how to make a pdf file, since apparently on my computer, you can't just "save as pdf file", which is so stupid! So, after sooooo long of trying to figure it out, I just called my friend, Eric Wang, from elementry that I actually saw when I went back to school today, he saved me by saving the screenplay on his computer and saved it as a pdf file, and then sent it back to me!! He is sooooo awesome for doing so!! And so now, because of him, I get my certificate and icon that you see at the side of the page, proof that I did Script Frenzy 2010, or else, it would be just as if I didn't even do it!!

LOL, I love that!! She has such good quotes on Buzz!

Excert

KK, so as I leave, now, my screenplay into the editing process and say goodbye to the constructing one, and bed a final farewell with an excert, one of my favourite scenes of it, to give you an idea of the epicness of the film. (Also this is for Nancy, who apparently will only read it if I put excerts on my blog)

Enjoy!!!

Hephaestus is lead into the Grand Hall and he stops abruptly and looks around. Athena and Aphrodite sits in their thrones, which are beside each others, and Zeus is standing in the middle of the U shape made by the thrones, looking at Hera, who looks like she’s been crying for a while, and Ares is still beside her, holding her hand. Hephaestus’ eye stops at Aphrodite. Then we switch to Aphrodite and Athena’s view.

APHRODITE
(Whispers to Athena)
He doesn’t look that bad, does he?

ATHENA
Laughs
You are so naive.

Aphrodite turns to Athena with a shocked expression. But they turn back to Hephaestus soon after wards. Then every one turns to look at him, and the two girls smile, Aphrodite sweetly and Athena amusingly. Ares looks at him murderously, but Hera just looks relieved. Then Zeus smiles and walks over.

...

ZEUS
This matter doesn’t concern you, so unless you want to confess some dangerous affair, I suggest you keep quiet.

Aphrodite’s and Ares’ mouth closes at the same time and they exchange a horrified look.

ZEUS
So? Is it a deal?

HEPHAESTUS
(Looking from Aphrodite to Ares, then back)
If she tells me two thing.

ZEUS
Alright, ask away.

HEPHAESTUS
(turns to Aphrodite)
Number one, do you currently have a lover.

APHRODITE
(Looks at Ares, then takes a sigh and pauses)
No.
(Ares looks surprised)

HEPHAESTUS
Second, do you want me as a husband? I won’t take you unwillingly.

APHRODITE
(Looks at Hera)

89 Flashback to scene 83

Hestia is talking to Zeus with Dionysus between them, and every one else in their thrones.

HESTIA
(In a distant voice)
Nothing is fair, but you have to know when to step down. Don’t worry; I don’t do well with politics and such any way. I’m the big sister and I must do what’s right to keep peace, we all must keep peace.

90 Flashback to scene 76

Hestia is dragging Aphrodite out of the grand hall with Hera, Zeus, and Metis behind them.

HESTIA
It’s much more than a triangle. A marriage isn’t fool-proof.

91 Flashback

Zeus is pacing in the grand hall and is talking with Poseidon.

ZEUS
Perhaps we can marry her off to Hephaestus, he poses no threat, he is weak.

92 Inside Olympian palace Grand Hall Day

Aphrodite looks at Hephaestus a little longer.

ZEUS
Well?

Aphrodite gets up and walks to Hephaestus.

AHPRODITE
Yes.

Hephaestus sighs of relief and hugs Aphrodite, who looks over his shoulder to see Ares look down angrily at Hera’s hand.

ZEUS
So? A deal is a deal.

HEPHAESTUS
Yes, (To Hera) All you have to do is stand now… Mother.

Hera stands up slowly and gasps in relief and surprise. Then looks at Hephaestus, and almost cries.

HERA
You are not expected to call me that again, but I do prefer it.

HEPHAESTUS
(Nods, then looks down at Aphrodite, who gives him a kiss on the cheek)
It’s all worth it in the end.

Give Me Da Beat

Well, there you go, I'm going to the Give Me Da Beat concert, I'm performing. Wish me luck!! Well, because I'm going there and I just realized that we still have homework, little but still. OMG, so I'll keep this really short.

Hey, remind me to talk about cross-book pairings tomorrow, kk? Like Percy and Clary, Percy and Hermoine, Clary and Harry, that kind of stuff, kk? KK.

List of good movies

You know, sometimes people say that you are an expert on something, and then they ask you for advice, and you just can't seem to give any on the spot, at the top of your head? That's what happened to me today. Jonathan made this list of good and bad movies and TV shows, a piece of cake, right? But I had no ideas right at the top of my head except for the usual ones!! And then when I was sitting doing my math test, thousands of ideas came to mind that I couldn't even concentrate on the last question!! So frustrated!!

Extensions and Reflections

Extensions Lesson 28
1) Work out a "want" list with someone else for an agreement that you're trying to reach with someone. Then, make a list of possible "third alternative" solutions that would be good for both parties.

Their "want" list
To get a say in the project, to give input that will be done.
To understand what is going on with the project.
To get a good grade.

My "want" list
For others to help with the project.
For them to work on some stuff.
For them to explain what they want and work on it instead of just give criticism.
To get other's ideas.

Their "don't want" list
To work on the project too much.
To be excluded from the group.
To not be listened to.

My "don't want" list
To do all the work.
Let others do nothing.

Third alternatives
If you put in criticism and requests, then you have to work to get it changed to your way.

Reflections
Are there any unresolved issues in your home that could use some synergy? Walk through the steps to synergy or see if you can come to a solution that makes everyone happy.

My problem is actually close to Nettie's, except I would never be out that late and my parents will totally spazz if I get home after like 7 pm. I think I should be a little more independent, walk to school in the mornings without them following me half way. Going to a party without them driving, even if they can drive. Dress my way, even if it doesn't suit their taste. Let me do my homework and when sad, don't discourage me even more. Let me bus to more places more often rather than for them to worry about me all the time. Nettie gets to go home alone at midnight, and I can barely walk on Granville at 4pm without them calling to check up. Then again, if you look at other Asian parents, I've got the whole world!

My usual blog: UHH!! Soooo mad at myself!!! We had a science test today, and it just went absolutely horrible. I'm already certain that I got three wrong, and it's like such easy things that I missed on the textbook, I really need to read the textbook more carefully!! I totally failed!!

AWEEE!!! That's soooo cute!!

Musicals

Since we're going to the opera very soon, I thought I went back to listening to some of the old musicals I used to. I forgot how much I loved Annie and Les Mis. They really are sooooo good!!! I really miss them! I've seen both of the movies too, and they are really good too. I need to get back to my homework though, I've sutdied really hard and done all my homework, but I feel like I can do a little more. Oh well.

Awe, we had a funny dance to this one.

City of Bones

Today I went to IndigoSpirit and bought City of Bones, and it felt soooo good in my hands to know that it's not a library copy and has that new book smell, and I was smiling so hard when I bought it that the cashier asked me if I was okay, I replied that I slept with a hanger in my mouth, and she laughed. But the copy is not for me, it's for Vivian as a thank you present for driving me like everywhere, to and from PNE and to and from the opera, and for already driving me to and from the science fair. Also, I sort of didn't give her anything on her birthday, so I owe her. But it just felt good to buy City of Bones, and I bet it'll be even better when I see the look on her face when she gets it!! (Or sees this, darn it)

Hey, check out my video bar, really funny commercial Mr Sale showed us once.
