Stopping Birds in Their Tracks, Mosquitoes and Music Videos

So before I begin telling you about the Mariana's Trench video shoot I was at the other day, I'm going to tell you about something I forgot to mention like a week ago.


As I left for that party at my friend's house (which I walked to) I noticed there was a bird on the other side of the road. As I left my lawn, it flew away...Right into my neighbor's window. Literally "BAM" into the window then it fell straight to the ground. Don't worry it did get up, although I didn't see it fly away... But apparently I'm just that good looking, I stop birds. 


But now onto the video shoot. Like pretty much every video shoot this one was running late. My group was supposed to be there at 5pm, so my friend and I were there at 5pm, and there were still people from the first group there, some of which didn't leave until after 6pm. The first group was supposed to be there at 6am that morning. Meaning they had been there for 12 hours. So after my friend and I killed time for like 5 and a half hours, some of the people who were in the scene right before ours started coming out. We were excited because we figure we'd get to go in soon (the holding area was outside, it was getting dark, raining and there were mosquitoes...) I talked to one of the girls as she was leaving and she told me that they weren't done, in fact the only reason she was leaving was because she got kicked out because there were too many people. Which really sucked because she had waited for HOURS and then nothing. At that point because it was now 10:30pm, my friend and I were both taking public transit home (which stops running at around 1am) and if they still hadn't started with our group yet there was no way of knowing how long it would take for us to get started and finished, plus we both had work the following morning. It was that point where we decided to leave and head to Denny's for an ice cream sundae before heading home. So the irony here is that I might be in a behind the scenes video, but not the actual music video... In the end all I got for my near 6 hour wait was a guitar pick and 3 mosquito bites (one of which is located in an extremely awkward place)


Now I have to go attempt to work on my 10 page research paper which is due in a week and a half...School is almost over until September!!
