I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Bard Ranger


Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.


Secondary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.


Deity:
Hanali Cenanil is the Chaotic Good elven goddess of love, beauty, and art. She is also known as the Heart of Gold and Lady Goldheart. Her followers delight in creation and youth, and work to spread happiness, love, and beauty. Their preferred weapon is the dagger.

Busy busy busy (tired tired tired)

I haven't slowed down since before the holidays. I've got two weeks worth of newspapers built up. I guess I'll pull the sections with the funnies & Dear Abby to read and recycle the rest.

Work is busy but thankfully not as frantic as it has been for the last year.

I still have Christmas to celebrate with three groups of friends.

I have a long-overdue dinner date with an old friend to set up.

I was supposed to hold a meeting of the family association board members in October to set up this year's reunion in June. I did call them, they just never called back. My dad is threatening to call past board members together to do it without us.

I finished scanning the old book for my audio book directing project into my computer yesterday. Now I'm turning it into a script.

Last Friday/Saturday I had a class with a casting director from Disney!!! Being toothless still was not a bad thing, I took my bleaching tray to wear in the booth. It worked fine and got me some fun attention. I gave him a copy of Patchwork. Since several classmates are also in it, he had us all autograph the cover for him. Score! Unfortunately, none of us was prepared for this class. We signed up for it last May, it was canceled in November due to a massive power outage. When it was talked about, it was called "Ned Lott's class" instead of by its title. We usually get a reminder a few days before a class when there's prep to be done. Since Ned hadn't taught a class with homework before, he wasn't aware that he should have sent us anything. I showed up with nothing having forgotten to grab my notebook that morning. The class title was "Give It All You've Got" with the premise being, sometimes an agent will have you in the booth and have a few minutes to spare so they'll say that and you're supposed to have a routine of material ready to blow their socks off. We were supposed to have prepared that.

I don't go home from these classes, I stay with my aunt & uncle. So a friend who carries a lot of vo copy with her let me look through it. We copied a whole lot of stuff after class. Then my uncle let me use his computer to organize it all. By 2:30am I had come up with five pages of script snippets, five or six characters per page. We were supposed to sing a song. All I had with me was my warm up tape from the car, Blue Bayou. I used it as my intro to the first commercial (which I wrote) for chloraseptic lozenges. "Hey, I can't let a sore throat get in the way of a performance!" Unfortunately, I'm scheduled for allergy tests this Thursday, so I have to be antihistamine free for a full week ahead of time. I lose my low notes and the high notes become a strain. Blue Bayou was not a good choice. He says he'll always remember me struggling with those low notes. (sigh) He was impressed with my middle range singing and my variety of characters. He cut me off after three pages because I'd already gone for 15 minutes and he was starting to realize that time was issue to get us all through the process. I still had 10 more characters to do! Disney doesn't hire adults for kid roles. They use real kids. They do hire adults for young adult roles, however. He liked my princess and young women very much. *hope*

Fun fact about Monsters, Inc. Did you know that they used a little child for the voice of "Boo" in the movie? I knew that but I wondered how they recorded her. Ned says they started following her around the house with a boom mic when she was about 18 months old, recording her as she did what babies do. By the time they finished, she was three! You know the scene when she has to go potty and sits in the stall singing? She actually sang that very long song from beginning to end flawlessly. Since it didn't fit what they already had recorded for the movie, they had to jumble it up so it didn't make sense.

OH! Friday morning I also saw my gynecologist! My biopsy results were good! I did have a polyp in there. He's hopeful that my problem will be solved. Me too!

Wednesday morning I get my new tooth. Thank the powers that be for that!

I want antihistamines! I'm getting wheezy because my allergies start with my sinuses and if I don't deal with them my lungs jump on the band wagon. Eric had to wear earplugs last night because my snoring was so loud it made his ear click. I feel yucky. I want my meds!! A few more days...
