Most of you know I'm trying to get into art school. One of the schools requires an interview or, if the proximity to the campus is prohibitive, an interview video. They have a list of questions on their site for applicants to answer. Questions ranging from "which program are you applying for?" to "tell us your favorite movies/books/commercials and why." So last week a buddy of mine came over and helped me film this thing. I would have preferred to do the interview but I don't have the time to fly out to Miami. That and I tend to be rather camera shy. Be it still or video, I don't like to be filmed.

I have to tell you, having never seen myself on a video in a very long time, never mind that this one features me and only me, viewing interview was alternately funny, laughable, and cringe-inducing. I don't know if it was because I was nervous but I noticed that I twitch a lot. My eyebrows and my head tilt at odd angles, my lips twist into weird shapes, facial expressions are bizarre, and my hands are rubbing my face at odd intervals. Geez. My buddy filming the whole thing made a few observations at my expense, as friends are apt to do. Fortunately, that was just the rehearsal video and I think I tempered most of my twitching for the real thing but still... to my eyes it was just ugly. I'm starting to wonder if I'm like this in real life. Ugh.
