A/N: Trying to get my creative juices flowing again~~ Enjoy :D
Day 2: Faking, not Acting
Dear Diary,
Think I sprained my ankle jumping into the water. Did I mention that it's kind of hard to waterbend when you're falling? Does the director know that? Of course he doesn't. He kept yelling at me to make the movements "really flow"; you'd think he'd noticed by now that if you wave your arms around too much, the water will bend in circles instead of upwards. -_-;;
Anyways, during break, I got to practice on the probending arena set. It's pretty neat the way they've spruced up everything including the water pit below. Obviously, they couldn't use the real one because no one bothered to fix it after Amon blew it up in real life. No doubt that's what'll happen to this set as well.
That reminds me: How are we going to shoot the episode where Amon blows up the arena? No wait, don't tell me. I don't want to think about.
Another thing is that I got to meet the actor playing Bolin for the first time today. As I understand it, he's been in a couple of independent films, nothing fancy, some theater and maybe a radio commercial or two. He's a fairly nice guy much like the real Bolin. It's just a shame he doesn't get as much screen time because the screenwriters don't know what to do with his character. It makes you wonder why you bother with seventeen writers if you can't write decent dialogue for a main character. Jeez! :
Gotta go. Time to go waterbend while not really waterbending but still waterbending without people noticing that you're not faking it. Yeah.
... waterbending! XD
