with sprinklings of you
My roommates and I worked on a top secret project this weekend so I thought I’d share with you some of the outtakes. It’s not the grossest thing I’ve ever done, but it involves me, my housemates, and a meal worm. Definitely worth the watch.
Before my fim debute, let me introduce the characters, aka, my housemates:
Hannah—the constant encouragement, positive voice. Pride and Prejudice‘s Jane, if you will.
Ashley—the realist and sly camera girl. She uses her wily ways to get it down me…
Myself—an aspiring worm eater champion.
Without further adieu, I give you, The Worm Eater:
I hope you were at least a tad bit entertained. Didn’t realize how much we got on video til after I went to edit (sneaky Ashley..). Still it made for a good time.
Thank you Hannah and Ashley! You’re great friends who support even ridiculous schemes such as this.
I’m glad to have you in my life!!!
EDIT: To give a little back story, as one was requested, I set about creating an audition tape for something I wanted to be in, potentially. It was a shot in the dark kind of thing. This is the prep for that video.
I hope that helps some.
I am just a girl trying to figure out how I can best spend my life. I like to write, and as such have a blog. I have great friends and family—a rich life.
Vocationally, I work for a fabulous online website in the Houston area. I get to write, edit photos and sort and attend events in Houston. What can I say, it's loads of fun. Feel free to comment on anything—nothing you say will be unwelcome unless you choose to insult myself or another person on this blog. Criticize and challenge beliefs all you want, but please don't make it personal.This blog sprung from my blog at xanga awhile back (www.xanga.com/resplendentRachel). I hope you enjoy, and thank you for reading.

I suspect there is a little more context needed. I mean, I don’t know how ya’ll do things down there in Taxes, but here in the motherland we don’t go down to the woods to eat worms for recreational purposes.
PS. I miss your goofiness Rachel Hanley, you is fun!

That was painstaking…I kept hearing that Michael Jackson song “Just Beat It”, but with “just EAT it” instead. I still think your hands would be well employed in a hand-lotion commercial – BEAUTIFUL!!!

I’ve done the research, apparently mealworms can bite… It’s just not supposed to hurt. Hmmm…guess you were lucky! Oh brave Rachel, and her *ahem* encouraging roommates…

Er, I meant to say mealworms Do NOT bite. http://www.insectlore.com/xlorepedia_stuff/darkling.html See? I told you I was like 75% sure…

I still am planning on showing this to my first graders. You will be famous. Be planning on autographing materials if you drop by for a visit.
