Well I just started this diary! If the fucking website lets me update I'll post it! I can't wait till tomorrow!
Yo mama, Catrina
July 16th 2002
So excited about filming! Today we got together and we filmed some stuff. It was fun trying on the costumes and stuff! We were bored and had film so we filmed some of the "behind the scene" stuff like the basic Lerite Training. We also practiced the chorography for the fight scenes and went through the script. Can't wait till tomorrow!
I do however have on pet peeve 'bout this whole filming thing. No one seems to really want to practice. They all seem so hyper active and distracted. I'm worried that it will take us FOREVER to film it.
Jess can't be Makara because she's to busy. *TEAR* It's gunna be sad without her. we had to do rehearsal and we're not sure who to replace her with. Oh well we'll figure it out!
I have hopes fro this movie! Wish us luck!
~*With love,
Catrina
July 17th 2002
We have yet ANOTHER problem. This time it isn't about the fact that we have no Makara it's the fact that we have no Leyra, or shouldn't at least. We set everything up and everything, but Ashley forgot that she had to baby-sit! If she messes up one more time it's off!!!! *GRR*
On the upside we did get another Makara! His name is Cody. I'm happy! Let's just hope that we CAN film tomorrow or else I'll cry. I have to go somewhere on Saturday we should be done filming by then if we do it right.

July 18th 2002
That's it! Filming is sssooooo off! Ashley got grounded cuz she's dumb. I already put up with her getting in trouble or changing her schedule or something so we can't film and she doesn't tell me!
All my hard work for this! I swear I COULD KILL HER! And if it were legal I WOULD! (Not like I always follow the rules but she's not worth it!) maybe I can just replace her! If I don't write back you'll know why because there will be nothing to write about we won't be filming the movie

July 19th 2002
Not much to talk 'bout! I'm ssssoooo bored! I updated the site all day. Anywayz filming is ON! I think
I feel bad though Jess wants to be in the movie. (Her dad is an asshole that's why she couldn't be in it in the first place) So now I have to find a way to fit her in so I don't feel bad and so she doesn't feel left out. L
See you naked,

June 20th 2002
I hate family reunions! I just want to film! GRR!
June 21st 2002
Wow! I'm in a good mood! Two guys just asked me out. (I said no I have my eye on the hot neighbor Josh!) anyway Larissa is sure it's cuz of her that they asked us out. I think they must have been desperate wait am I dissing myself? Hopefully tomorrow at 4:30 filming will start.
June 22nd 2002
GREAT! We finally filmed the first two scene it took us three hours. 2 minutes of movie three hours of filming. I didn't get to eat dinner. L I feel sad. But in the end hopefully it's all worth it. I have to learn to use the camera editor. If we do get to do a premier then we'll have to have it in September or October.
We lucked out and Chelsea could be Makara. We tried calling Jess but she wasn't there. I hope we finish filming soon. I REALLY want to see how it turns out.
I hope I look good sound good. We had to practically yell to be heard I think you can tell. The good part is I DID look good. Ashley did my hair and makeup and I wore some green thing over my costume. I was happy!
I ate a strawberry fruit roll up for dinner. I really wish I could cook. Well I had to cuss Oh no that is forbidden!
We had ssssooooo many problems with the camera. Now my dad is mad at me for using Ashley's father's adapter thing. And I care because? I did not spend over an hour getting ready and panicking and memorizing and calling people just to find out the camera is not working! GRR!
Well it'll be better tomorrow. I'm gunna practice my lines so I don't retarded.
Despite all the problems we had, I had LOADS of fun. We came up with some really cool ideas and I was so happy! It's all good!
Well I'm still not sure if I believe gots to go!
I See ya naked always
~*Catrina
June 23rd 2002
Wow we got a total of three scenes done today! Two of which were improv. I guess Jordan wasnt feeling important enough we had to make a scene with him in it. (lol)
It was funny at first cuz I brought out coffee and I had the cups tilted (cuz nothing was in them, but there was supposed to be.)
We did the scene where Leyra is training Catrina, and Ashley and I did swing dance to Sparkling Diamonds off the Mulon Rouge soundtrack. When we werent filming it was funny cuz Ashley and Jordan did the tango. There was also one time when they were swing dancing and Jordan forgot to let go of Ashley and he went flying into all these things! It was funny!
Our Makara (Chelsea Wilkes) couldnt be there tonight, but Im not mad because she warned us yesterday that she might not be there.
My hair was ssssoooooo kewl! Ashley did it all funny again and Jordan started to braid it and it turned out looking kewl!
The movie will resume filming tomorrow at 10:30 am. To 7:00 p.m. Then there will be a break so Jordan can go on vacation. (we all need a break)
I was being such a bitch I feel so bad! I was bossing people around and criticizing them.
Another thing I feel bad about, is that when we called Chelsea on the phone she seemed to not understand that I was okay with filming her part tomorrow. How many times do I have to say
After filming we had my most fave food in the world TACOS! (Also pronounced Taycos in the land of Gabi) Then we had some of the best salsa in the world! It was hot and spicy though and I loved it! (I do think I drank all the pepsi though)
I cant wait to film its fun and its hard work but like Mr. D (the French teacher)always says Opportunities are sometimes disguised as hard work. Actually he never said that, but it was in his collected words of wisdom as he calls it. (I like the one that says that the best place for the bathroom scale is right in front of the refrigerator...)

June 24th 2002
I am ssssoooooo glad we can take a break from filming. We filmed practically all day and were still only on page 9 out of 24.
I was being mean to everyone again. They kept wanting to change the script but it builds character to them. You cant change that! It was like I gad PMS. (lol)
Jordan is going on vacation tomorrow and we might film the next two scenes (that he isnt in) but I hope not. Itll be like a four day vacation.
Everyone keeps whining that they want to see it but it is a waste of time, and tape. I think you can tell that we were reading the script... my head is sore from memorizing. I am ssssoooooo glad Im not Leyra!
We got these little kids to act in it (Which made it way easier) the only problem was that Ashley wanted to show our childhood using them (Which I dont think they even look like us...) but I cant figure a way to work them in. (I didnt really want to... most of it goes without explanation.)
I am NOT going to act when Im older... I get to stressed and everyone hates me.
At one point I thought I was dead cuz there was a scratch on the camera. I could feel myself getting upset, but id didnt want to cry or anything. (Just yell very, VERY loudly.) but the scratch was actually a piece of grass. Luckily Jordan figured out how to fix it, and get it out. (Thanks Jordan, aka Rafe, youre a life saver!)
Wow! We also relaxed and ate hot dogs and chips for dinner. Hot dogs, and Pepsi NEVER tasted so good! Then we talked and relaxed. It felt so good to sit down!
But there is one thing I almost forgot to mention. Andrew lied and decided he didnt want to be Cora! I wanted to strangle him! You dont make a commitment and then just cancel it out! GRR. He lied and said that he said hed only be Runoro but in the end his mom made him live up to his commitment. (THANK GOSH!) Anyway we have proof! J
YEAH! I almost forgot this too! Chelsea couldnt be there to do her part so we DID alter the script a little so that we pretended we were sent by Makara. (Thats where Kiyrana and Verosha come in.) Chelsea was a BAD choice. We should have gotten Beth. (I want to work Beth in their somehow...)
Wow! I guess I have nothing else to talk about, beside the fact that Tripod sucks! Ill keep this site here a little longer, in hopes that things will improve, but if it doesnt hello Yahoo Geocities!
~* With Love,
Catrina.

August 2nd 2002
We filmed! Yes! It was a nice vacation, but it does feel good to film again.
I was in a better mood today and I think we had fun! However I dont think Ill be a director like I wanted to when I get older I get to bitchy.
Well everything was going well and everything, we were having fun, and talking, until Ashley told us that next week she has to go back to that one camp. We cant keep filming at 4:30 I want to EAT DINNER! We cant keep working around her schedule obviously this movie was casted poorly. Ashley and Chelsea, BAD choice. So far Im not sure if there should be a sequel the way things are going.
I wrote up a contract today, but its just a rough draft. Im waiting to get Jordans input to finalize the version. Im hoping that he will add on to it. If this contracts looks good and we go through with it, then Ashley will not be able to keep doing this. It gets SO ANNOYING! And I Know now that Im not alone when I say that she is starting to tick everyone off.
Were now on page 12, HALFWAY! Cant wait! I really hurt my back today, I got home and had to have it popped back in place, it was all the way out of place. I feel so much better now. J
We went to the china café where my French teacher Mr. Donahue made fun of my Lerite tattoo. He is always in the wrong place at the right time. J
Wow! I feel good now. Writing in my dairy makes me feel better. Its funny, this is the first diary Ive managed to keep more then one entry. I hate diaries, but this one seems different.
I want to act in a different movie now. I hope I am only this ticked when I direct. *Sigh*
One other thing that I find funny, There are like two different Coras and two different blacks. HA!
Well we replaced Chelsea with Jordan, we just swapped their parts. I thought she wanted to be in the movie. Were getting a NEW Makara. This Makara will sign a contract.
We named our production company for all the movies well make. We named it Red Rum. Im not sure how we came up with it, but I like it.
One last pet peeve of mine about today. Ashley just HAD to play Black. (Which annoyed the hell out of me) And ten she couldnt do the stunt at the beginning where she jumps off the stairs. She got mad because Jordan could do it right and so he played that part of Black. I did the stunt for fun, I stubbed my toe. HA! I think its funny.
Wow! I love filming! It may get me in a bad mood sometimes and it may make me upset, but I cant help loving it! It does get a bit crazy but, you cant help loving it. After all nothing is perfect! And to quote Madonna Nobody's perfect!
~* Lots of loves, Cat/Gaberz
August 3rd 2002
Well its still too early in the morning for me to be up, and Im so tired, so Ill make this quick. Were not filming today.
Secondly we have a final version of the contract ready to sign. We will sign it next time we film.
Next, Jordan, Rafe, started an online filming journal lol. Were trying to get some different perspective, because we all see things differently, especially when Im supposed to be wearing my glasses but Im not.
And lastly, were starting a new e-mail for Red Rum Productions. It is Redrumproductions@yahoo.com. I havent made it yet, were still deciding on a password.
So goodbye, I'm going to go eat a bagel and nag my dad to see the new Mel Gibson movie. See ya!
~*Cat
August 5th 2002
Just to give you an update! We're supposed to be filming tomorrow! After I watch the best movie in the world! Lord Of The Rings! (LOTR)
I love Red Rum Productions! I can do what I want to do more then anything else in the world! ACT! Sorry, I drank soda. I usually like lemodnade better but we're out!
I watched the royal Tenbaums. It rocked! Kinda dark though. *Sigh* I'm gunna go since I'm just ranting on like I'm on crack.
~* The future actress in a big hit movie with Tom Cruise (lol) who was on her table singing, "What if God Was One Of Us?" Catrina. Say that five times fast.
August 7th 2002
We signed the contracts today. We have to replace Andrews name from Runoro because he didnt want to be in it anymore. Gofer.
Today was sssssoooooo much fun! I had SUCH a great time. The only bad part was there was this scary guy there and he smelled bad. He played a secretary and a guard. *Sigh* Because of him, the movie should be rate R.
Anyway I was becoming a bitch toward the end cuz I knew I had to go soon, and I didnt want to get grounded cuz we ran over filming. I would have been in breach of contract. But everything was alright.
I really dont know what else to put. Usually Im mad at someone or just being bitchy, but I had a REALLY good time today, and I dont think anyone did anything wrong, except for the occasional not listening, but hey, we're kids what can you expect?

August 12th 2002
Today we killed Makara. And her brother Mil somtin or the other was takin over. His name was Cody, and he could be funny but also he was an asshole, running the movie by doing stupid stuff and he did it on purpose.
At one point I got so ticked (at everyone) I didnt want to film anymore. I stormed off like a fucking three year old. Sigh I hate myself when I do that.
I ate at Ashleys. It was good, but if I had been more ative I could have eaten more.
We did the whole party scene and I cant wait to see how it turns out, but the battery is charging now. Kewl. No other real news cept Cara Holiday and Megan (I cant spell her last name) were making fun of our movie. Too bad they dont have enough talent or boobs to be in it. One day the water balloons are gunna pop and theyll go do their lesbian thing to each other.
I know I turned directing over to Jordan Wheeler but I still feel like a director. Im not sure why, but I guess that I had a certain way I wanted it when I wrote it. Who knows maybe Im just bossy. I WAS in a good mood B4C (Before Cody) but he started to tick me off. He ran away with my sword. Everyone else thought it was funny but I know if it had been their sword they would have been just as pissed. (Jordan got mad at him for playing with his sword.)
I guess youll never know what its like for another person cuz you arent them. Who knows. Its gunna storm Id better go. (Pray I dont get west nile or anyone else doesnt ether. And pray Jordan, Rafe, doesnt get sick from Cody. Lol)
~*Gabi/ Cat. P.S. (NOW Ashley says she wasnt scared of Charlie, but she complained even after he left. Who knows.)
August 14, 2002
Today was hell. Everything went fine at first, we were having fun and stuff. But then Jordain (Runoro) didnt want to film today. At first we couldnt get a hold of Cody. So we fixed the lines and stuff.
Jordan (Rafe) was being a weirdo when he had to be the guard cuz we kept messing up. It wasnt our fault we all mess up. So he started yelling and he made me want to hurt him.
Later we got a hold of Cody and Jordain wanted to film, and we were having fun. But we were doing the fight scene and the cheap plastic swords came apart. While trying to put them back together we knocked over a wine glass. Later I stepped on a piece of glass and was bleeding all over. (But it wasnt bad, and it didnt hurt)
The little kids were all screaming and being dumb in the background. They kept trying to jump on the tramp. Grr.
Then we were filming the last few scenes and Jordan was running in the background. Then he came in dancing. (He said you couldnt see him but you could) What an asshole. Cody and him kept making these jokes that I wanted to kill them both.
Jordan said that he was sorry he was trying to have fun. It wasnt fun, and I dont think anyone was laughing. He acted like a fucking 4 year old when Cody was around. It was so fucking annoying.
Then somehow we got into this water fight and I got sprayed. (Wearing white? How is that funny?) He was laughing. I wanted to kill myself then. I was NOT having fun. Yes Jordan was having fun, at the expense of everyone else.
Then my fucking so called brother (Who I HATE so much that I hate coming home) just HAD to walk up in wearing a Halloween costume in front of my friends. I wish he would die. I wouldnt cry, Id have a party and so would everyone else in my family. (We all are always trying to get rid of him but he keeps coming back.)
We could have finished if Jordan would have gotten off the trampoline, but no, he just had to do what Cody was doing. Is anyone seeing what Im trying to point out here?
Then I come home to find my parents fighting and I want to kill myself even more. We cant film till Sunday afternoon now cuz I have to go to mass. Right now I couldnt care less about God and all the bull shit. I dont even want to go to fucking Dowling. Were most likely going to move halfway during the year anyway.
And another thing, about the cover shoot. Mikel wants to be in it. NO! Hes not even a main character, so then he threw a fit about that, and everyone started fighting. I was about ready to go home. (No thanks, I would have rather stayed there)
Guess what? I am so sick of this! Jordan said that he wrote the contract for Ashley, but all of sudden we dont need to take it seriously. Hello? Then why even waste my fucking time? I am so sick of everything changing just for him.
We were going to go inside Codys house to film a scene but Ashley didnt want to, because she knew she was going to get caught. I understand her but no one else did. I just wanted to finish filming the movie so bad. Like I said we could have if Jordan would have gotten of the fucking trampoline.
We did the fight scene on the trampoline which was cool, but I dont know how its going to turn out. I did a really BAD job filming Jordan and Jordain. (Rafe and Runoro) but the swords were already breaking and I didnt want them to break before Mikel fought Runoro. Jordan was all mad and kept hinting we should redo it, but when I finally said ok he said I was being bitchy. What the fuck? That was out of the blue.
Anyway the entire time was filled with everyone fighting and yelling and arguing and getting sick of people ruin the scenes. (Like Jordan got mad at Cody for messing it up but the scenes but then he went back and did it.)
Right as Im about to log off, more bad news. My dad is going to the hospital and he cant walk. I know you wish you were me right now, as I feel sick from jumping on the trampoline to much. Im going to go die. Alright. Bye.

Happy Birthday Ben Affleck! lol. Ok I don't really have anything to talk about. I just wanted to let ya know that soon Jordan will have written this awsome movie and we'll hopefullly film. I get the best ideas... lol. Well I can't wait till Jordan finishes it! I gave him the idea, and he'll expand it and make it more exciting. I CANNOT WAIT!
Anyway about our 'fight' yesterday, it's in the past and we're all ok now. I didn't know Cody had ADHD, but that's beside the point. My philosiphy is that it's in the past. Kind of like the monkey (Rafiki) in The Lion King. (Yes I still watch that movie.)

August 20th, 2002
We filmed today, and it went by really smooth. It was fun! It didnt take very long to finish.
We then did music videos to Sparkling Diamonds, El Tango de Roxanne, and Lady Marmalade off the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack. The Lady Marmalade was sadly cut though.
Ashley got in trouble for being at Codys. Her mom is weird. The parents want to see it, and we say bad words, but we figured out how to fix that.
We didnt do cover shoot so Ill probably write one last time after this. Anyway
Oh Yeah! We had the cast showing (Maybe the premier) of Lerites when we were done filming. We had added some behind the scenes stuff after the movie and it made it fun to watch.
Then we had Popcorn and Kool Aid while we listen to music and danced. It was our little party for finishing Lerites.
We took a vote and we WILL film the Lerites sequel. However, we will be filming TNT next. (Thursday Night Taped) Its kind of like Saturday Night Live. After that I hope to film Jordans movie.
I also got to meet Chip, Jordans (Rafe's) black, fat cat. Its funny cuz black is supposed to make you look skinny. Lol
After watching Lerites, I hope to get Charlie to act in our next movie, cuz he was really good at acting.
Well it has been a fun time and a great experience filming this movie! I hope that we get to film another one soon.
Thanks, much love
Gabrielle
