Well, I don't think it's "douchey" for you to go and take up a job like at Safeway, Chels. I mean, it'll definitely be good to earn some extra cash for a month or so. I guess the only thing I would be concerned about is whether or not you would like the job. And obviously you're only going to be there for a month, so whether or not you find pleasure out of it is somewhat less relevant, but still, for me, for any job or volunteer thingy, I want to know that I'll enjoy what I'll be doing (and that includes the people working around me too). I suppose you've put up with enough crabby, grumpy people in your time working at IGA so Safeway customers shouldn't be all that hard to deal with. I dunno.
Today was Kem's graduation ceremony. I e-mailed my teacher for today and told him that I was going to my boyfriend's graduation and that I wouldn't be able to make it in (we're also graded on "professionalism", and this counts as part of that). It was definitely shorter than our high school graduation... though still kinda boring. At least Sean Tevlin was slightly funny there. The people here were kinda boring and repeated the "Hooray. We did it! But this is just the beginning... " thing a few times. He was the last one called up to cross the stage... haha.
After that, I found him (and his parents and cousin) and they took a zillion pictures, with all the other families taking pictures as well. It was like, picture fest there. I can totally imagine you guys, a few years from now at UBC going through the whole thing... hmm.
When Kem's mom asked me how I knew him, I had to lie (which I hate doing!) and told her that I met him from school (UBC) when he helped me with applications and stuff. Then I guess she caught on to the fact that I had been introduced to her before applications and stuff and she asked me (well, more like suggested/told me) that I had known Kem before that (ie. out of school) and I said yes. When she asked how, I told her "from a friend of a friend" and she seemed to buy that, but from what Kem's told me about her, she's a very perceptive woman... and I know she caught a glance at my bag, which has the rainbow pins on them. I already mentioned that she's very Christian and apparently says homophobic things right?
It was all good though. Hopefully I saved myself. I talked with her a bit about film school and writing and it wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. Hmm.
I'm also having some issues with my short script that will be filmed in a few weeks (hooray!). Oh, and if I need people for extras, do you guys want to help out? It would only be for abou 3-ish hours in one day, and i"m guessing you would just have to sit there, possibly mouth some words to people. We'll see.
See you guys soon?
