Back from Dallas =)

Ok, so I've decided that even if there's a make up artist, I'm just going to do my own make up from now on.  That's it!  Again, I had plaster put on my face and it didn't look good! My skin looked like the skin of the guy from chainsaw massacre and my eye make...you couldn't even tell I had any.  Don't even get me started on the eyebrows! I did love my hair this time.  She left it beautiful and did it super fast!  For the eye make up she just said that I had to look more simple then one of the other characters who my character doesn't even interact with.  I had pictured my character a certain way and the make up didn't do any justice.  Not just the way I pictured it, it was the way it was described to me.  Oh well, didn't even get a close up in this film so I don't mind too much, but seriously doing my own make up from now on!

On the whole kissing part, it was not as bad as I thought.  The guy I had to kiss was about ten years older than me and super tall LOL.  We didn't really match but I'm glad I had the opportunity to be in the film. I drove to Dallas the night before with my sister, stayed in a hotel and the next morning I was on the set on time.  I got my hair and make up done, then it was a bunch of waiting.  I got there at 11am and didn't shoot my scene until about 3pm.  Before shooting we went outside to rehearse.  As we rehearsed I didn't expect the actor to do the kissing in the rehearsal so that was a big shock, but I guess it was like being pushed in a pool of cold water unexpectedly.  After that first time I didn't feel uncomfortable, although I don't see why we had to kiss during the rehearsal.  But anyhow, this was his very first time acting and he also had a girlfriend who was uneasy about the whole kissing thing.

During shooting, they kept switching the location where they wanted to shoot and eventually found the place they liked the most.  The director had a major dirty mouth.  He cursed in every sentence.  He was very rude to the crew but they all had met a few weeks before to rehearse so I'm not sure if he was joking or playing around.  They decided that after we kissed I had to faint and he was just going to leave me lying on the floor and drive off.  That was a bit uncomfortable because I was wearing shorts with stockings and when I bent over you could see them.  Damn, I wish I hadn't worn that, but I think it worked out well.  I only had about three lines or so.  We shot about three or four takes then we were done.  My sister got to be an extra so that was pretty cool for her.

First time riding a horse!

After we I was done, we drove to my friend's ranch and rode some horses for the first time =) That was pretty awesome! I've always wanted to go horseback riding! Her ranch is beautiful and they have acres of land! We had a great time.  After, we drove back to Houston and I ended up getting home at midnight.  Overall it was a great trip.

Oh one thing I forgot to say, when we got there on Friday, my friend called me telling me that someone found one of my dogs in the park behind the Kroger where they got lost but they couldn't catch him =( I felt horrible!!! I was so far away so I couldn't do anything =( Yesterday we spent the day looking for them again, and when we got home we got a phone call from someone who said they saw one of my dogs. She said she saw him walking on the rode a few days ago but that yesterday she saw him dead on the street.  My heart sank and we rushed back to that area.  I called her and she met me up to show me where she saw him.  Thank God it wasn't either of my dogs! It turned out to be a possum.  We drove around again trying to see if we could find them and we decided we need to place more fliers so we will get that done tomorrow.
