Into the light.

The past week and a half have been a bit of a blur.

On the way to see Admiral Fallow with Allan, Robyn & Ryan I got a call from Dave asking if I'd film the fashion show that he and Morna were part of that Friday (This was on the Tuesday).

"But I don't have a camera."
"One will be provided."

I said I'd go in the next day and check out the equiptment, see if I thought I could do it. The next day came and I went to the Town Hall and met Dave outside, he led me upstairs and into the Out of the Darkness office. I was given the camera and we went off to figure out how it worked, something which didn't take long at all. I agreed to film and then left.

It was upon agreeing that seemed to set the blur going. Thursday was rehearsals, which I filmed. Friday was the show, which I filmed and was there for most of the day. Saturday I slept, Sunday quiz. Monday, I went back in to start editing, Tuesday, I met Morna for pancakes at Robyn's, before going back to the Town Hall and helping her devise something for ODTC. Wednesday, more editing and Thursday, even more editing*.

I got a text from Morna asking what the plan was for tonight and saying that she missed the office today and I am too.

I haven't been paid for any of the filming/editing (and won't be). But honestly, I'd happily go into the office every day, just to hang out. I've never been around so many people, in a 'work' environment and found myself smiling so much.
I find it hard to see how any one else, when dropped in with those people can feel any other way.


If I had taken the footage home, which was the original plan, I could have probably had everything edited together within a couple of days, maybe even less time. However, I would have missed out on meeting all these people.

I spent most of Thursday, which was Morna's last day, just chatting with her. For one reason or another, the office we were in, which usually is pretty busy, was empty, apart from us. So, we were just chatting about films and filming.

I think that'll be the weirdest thing about going in again next week, although I know the other people in the office and they're all really nice and friendly, I won't have my actual friends there any more. Dave's left to go to Glasgow and Morna's away back to London.

Hopefully, once the editing's done, I'll be asked back to do more stuff with them.

This blog is far too cheery. I apologise.
