It's late, but I must post...

You have missed out on much my dear friend. I suppose this is the first real journal type post I've made on this blog, but still, much has happened since I last posted.
Me and Sheila went to her sister's house this past week and created the beginnings and most of the rest of a short film. We were initially just planning to, "hang-out" with her sister, but as artistic sorts we had to create something. So we did. The day before leaving, me and Sheila whipped up a quick story synopsis and began planning. We packed costumes and Sheila filled her trunk with weapons of various kinds. Combined with the weapons already at her sister's house, we had quite the cache. I brought my film equipment and Chinese lanterns (which are perfectly portable do to being portioned well for packing - these little guys brighten up a room with very natural looking light).
There were many brilliant moments which will be posted up on youtube later. Me and Sheila will likely begin our own page for all our joint projects.
A couple memorable moments could be simply captured in this brief quote:

"First time my boyfriend saw me cry was because I was being forced to marry a man I didn't know...filming keeps a relationship interesting,..." (Sheila in a post she wrote after filming a scene)
And if that doesn't make you curious to see the film:

"Tell me your name so when I cut off your head, I can have the pleasure of knowing who the new addition to my collection is! *pause* *sudden burst of laughter* Sorry, I'm just kidding. *big childish grin aimed at a girl stupefied within her shock*" (Beck, my character in the story)
 So hopefully you will be looking out for that youtube link. =]
Now it is off to bed. Tomorrow I take off for a week at french creek bible conference, to direct the activities...perhaps making a movie will be on the activity list =]
