I see the point of these things. Really I do, and I wouldn't lie to you. Well, not about a stupid journal, anyway. It gives the fans something to read, and it's a way of gaining publicity. And it makes the people here communicate with each other, even outside of working.

But, honestly? None of the fans give a flying fuck about the camera woman. As for publicity, I'm not going to claim that this journal is widely-read. As for communicating with others here, I guess I'll write here for that reason. And also for the reason that I want to keep my job, seeing as it pays a lot better than other, more difficult jobs.

And, for starters, I'll say a few things about myself.
One: I wear earplugs when I'm working the cameras. I don't really wanna hear that.
Two: I have a knife collection in my basement. Don't ask how many, 'cause I can't count that high in English. In Chinese, yes, but not in English.
Three: Maybe you guessed from the title of this and the previous fact, but no, English is not my first language. I'm a Chinese immigrant.

All right, that's all for now. Maybe you'll get more later. Maybe not.

What's the point of wearing earplugs? The sick squelching noises that people make sometimes are funny.

And a knife collection in your basement? Sounds sexy. You a dungeon mistress or something?

Maybe if you worked the camera full time, you'd understand a little bit more about how gross it gets.

A dungeon mistress? I don't know if I'll even respond to a question that stupid. Are you a masochist or something?

Maybe it's in the way you look at things. You seem pretty harsh on things. See it as a comedy. It might help.

Hey, you're the one with a knife collection that's so high you can't even count how many you have. Why keep so many around if you don't have fun with them?

Huh. If I see it as a comedy, then sometimes I laugh a little too much. And people don't really like it when the cameraperson doesn't have a steady hand.

I'm just not that great at counting in English, really. And it's really a collection. I don't think my idea of fun with them might be the same as yours.

Learn to laugh and keep a steady hand? Or get the right camera stands. Some of them are a bit rickety.

Yeah? Maybe I'll learn some Chinese then and you can tell me the number. And what's your idea of fun?

I guess I could try a little more for a better camera stand. Is there actually a place where I can find one that isn't rickety?

Hah, okay. If you'd like to. But I can count okay in English. Maybe you'd do better to just teach me that. As for my idea of fun, it doesn't involve knives being used in sexual ways.

Yeah, sure. There are lots of places that'll fix it up for you, but if you want me to do it, I won't charge ya. Professional courtesy and all.

And I can teach you, sure. You seem bright, it's not too hard.

Then what're the knives for? You collect them or you just like to scare off creepers?

Okay, that sounds like a plan, then. Thanks. I didn't know you were skilled at fixing camera stands.

The worst part is getting the English numbers switched with Chinese. The last time I said my age, I said that I was twenty-san, not twenty-three.

All of the above.

I think a lot of people'd be interested in what the camerawoman does.

[info]houseofdaggers

I guess so. There's the cameras, and lighting, and effects, and then there's the retouching that we sometimes do before the videos get sent off.

I like them. And I've got a bit of a history with a few of them. Besides, it's something to talk about.

A history? So you know how to handle them?

It'd be interesting to have a camera woman's take. Lots of people like to watch extras and commentaries on DVDs, so maybe this is like that?

I don't know if they'd like my take. I tend to be too honest for my own good. But you have a point there, I guess.

Honesty is the best policy, right?

And it might be good, to shatter some people's false thoughts about the industry. It's always good to learn something new.

[info]houseofdaggers

Sure thing.

And as nice as that sounds, I'm not sure management'd be happy if I screwed up their business by doing that.

Hmm. True, but that would get pretty tricky. I've found it's hard to be honest and nice at the same time.
