all right...I give in.

Due to the fact that my friends are DORKS, I'm gonna give livejournal a try. As a last attempt at holding out, I'll keep my index page linked to this one for a while...but...well, livejournal is so damn TEMPTING...it's like the devil....sucking me in...razza-frazzin good fer nuttin....GRR...

here ya go.....I hope you're happy... -_-

See...this particular festival is very democratic. After we finished screening all the films from my class yesterday, we had a brief discussion about nominations, and then were told to write our three favourite films on a slip of paper. Now...just to give you a little perspective on this, there were something like 30 people in my class. Each of them made five films. That's 150 films, ladies and gentlemen. 30 just on the last day. And mine was one of three to be picked.

I've never won anything like this. I've never been especially popular at my school. I've never done anything particularly exceptional. So....well, to be honest, I just can't quite get my mind to bend around this one. O_o

Ack...jeez, I guess this means I've gotta add in those last two sound effects...at the screening, I just shouted them out from the back of the room...but something tells me that won't go over too well at a festival...

man oh man....I guess it was all worth it, huh?

Right now, tho...right now I need to get to bed before my head explodes.

...

wait a sec...

If Kette happens upon this - come to the Gathering. PLEASE. And wear kitty ears, if it's at all possible.

Also, my friend Derek wrote a limerick about me that makes no sense...but I'll share it with you anyway.

*ahems*

There once was a girl named Alison
Who really hated film production
Finally she freaked
And carefully tweaked
Her computer to rig an election.

*blinks*

yep. no sense.

My films are done, essentially - just a few minor things that need to be taken care of. We're having a marathos screening tomorrow...here's to hoping they go over well. If they don't, I think I might have to go crawl under a rock and die from lack of fufillment. ;P

merf

BTW...Adrienne, Shing, Aims, Jen, all you crazy LA people, if you're reading this....got my plane ticket! WOO! Now I just need to figure out where I'm staying and how I'm gonna pay for it ;}

...well...actually just the first sentance of it...but yeah

^_^;;

Mom bought me a plane ticket to LA a couple days ago, so it's official: Ali's goin to the Gathering this summer. For those who don't know, the Gathering is an annual Gargoyles con - I've been to all but one so far. Supposedly, we get together to obcess about our fave cartoon....but in actuality, it's an excuse to hang out with all my 'net buddies who I only see like once a year. WOO.

k, I have to go now. It's past midnight, and I haven't started animating. O_o
