I am NOT shy. I mean, I do risk taking things all the time. I do spontaneous things all the time. I do fun things all the time. Take the whole Mystic Force Ranger thing, I accepted the position. I am a Mystic Force Ranger. I mean if that isn't taking risks then I don't know what is! And take yesterday, I bought winter green instead of peppermint. I took a risk. What if I didn't like the flavour? Then I would have wasted my money! Hah, see Nick was wrong...
God. Listen to me, toothpaste? Nick is right. I am shy. I mean Vida is the out going sister. Vida is the enthusiastic, thrill seeker. Vida is practically the opposite of me. She's punk, I'm not. She speaks her mind, I don't. She follows her intuition, I follow logic. She's not shy, I am.
Is it wrong being shy? Is it so wrong? I don't always hide behind the camera. I have fun filming people. Fun like Xander on his board, like Vida mixing up music and being a DJ, fun like I think how I think Nick feels when his working on his motor cycle. Working on videos is fun. Capturing every moment is fun. It's like preserving memories on tape. Preserving fun times, excitment, their personalities and character on film. So we can view them forever.
And that Lily. Not everyone is obsessed with their image. Not everyone spends their free time shopping for the 'in' things. Making their image perfect. Is it so wrong to dress in comfortable clothes instead of the most fashionable items that might make you feel all uncomfortable. So what if my shoes were 'in' a long time ago? So what? Is that a crime?
I film people because they make me feel in control of something. I can film anything I want. Happy things, preferably. Sometimes life at home is in turmoil. When I watch the films, I'd feel better. By making films, I can cheer people up. Like when Chip lost an archery competition and he swore never to touch a bow or arrow ever again, I showed him a video I made of him when he was practicing. Of him saying he would never ever give up archery. No matter what. I told him that when we were in Grade School he told me he would never go back on his word. And if he gave up archery, he would be going back on his words and the statement he proclaimmed to the entire school. Like when mum and dad have an arguement when Vida and I were little and Vida would feel down, I'd show her the fun times we had at a holiday or with Chip.
Videography is my life. Not an excuse to hide. Nick doesn't know. He doesn't know it.
