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.

	... Really. If you could read, you'd see that I mentioned I'm an immigrant. Well, if I were an assassin, I'd know. But I don't, so I can't tell you. Were you planning on being at my house? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Or if you don't want encouragement, that's cool too. Yeah, yeah, my bad. Skim reading only works for English assignments I guess. No, but anything's possible. Just making a note. I would say I'd stay on your good side in general, but your not quite billion of knives aren't with you all the time. Plus it'd be too hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-20 06:24 am UTC (link)
	You have a talent for making everything sound awkward. Or when you have to read the scripts for movies. Actually, I more like don't read those. I wouldn't assume I don't have my not quite billion of knives with me at all times. Assumptions are dangerous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-20 06:29 am UTC (link)
	Eh? How so? No point in reading them. They're all the same. Just need to know when and where you're supposed to zoom and pan, and usually the director can just tell you that. They are, but I doubt you could sneak in that many knives in the building and not be obvious. Seems a bit clunky to me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-20 06:50 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. Probably a born talent. Eh, that sounds pretty true. But the directors get so bitchy after you ask too many questions. I thought you were under the impression I was a professional. And maybe I don't need that many knives to kill someone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-20 07:28 am UTC (link)
	Probably. Nothing's awkward though unless you make it. Put you off kilter already? Tch, directors are prima donas sometimes. Why not show those arrogant bastards their places? Not so much anymore. I'm sure you could do damage with them, but you're probably the defense only type of person if you haven't used them on people before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-21 05:24 am UTC (link)
	That's a lie. You don't have to make things awkward for them to just be awkward. Haha, because I've learned how to shut my mouth when it can endanger my job. Well, most of the time. I can't say I don't slip up. Eh, defense is close enough. What, am I supposed to just be stabbing random people otherwise? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-21 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Depends. Some things are awkward yeah, but not a lot. Still think it depends on what you make of it. Hey, if they fire you, you can always come work for security. We need more chicks, seriously. I think you'd do a good job. Nah, randomly stabbing people's a serial killer thing. But I don't know what you'd do with so many. You like to cook or something? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-21 06:15 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, maybe, but some things are easier to make awkward than other things, at the very least. Haha, that would probably be amusing. I think I would be at least a foot shorter than the average security person. I don't think I'd need that many knives for cooking. That'd be just a little bet excessive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-21 06:55 am UTC (link)
	I'll agree to that. Those situations tend to be so much fun though. Yeah, security here seems to be taller than average anyway, but hey, it might mean no one will mess with you. It's probably like in the military. A girl who can hold her own there gets respect. Some people might say lots of knives in general are excessive, but to each their own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-22 05:29 am UTC (link)
	And that's probably only because you like making other people feel awkward. So if I'm there, the height average would pretty much go back to normal. I'll think about it, though. If I decide I'm sick of filming porn, I might see if I can join you guys. Yeah, yeah, tell me something I don't know. Loads of people say that having more that two knives is overkill.

See, I knew you were bright. Some people like to put jerks in their places, others like to make them uncomfortable. Different strokes for different folks.

Yeah, pretty much, dragging us down, yeesh. And you should. We need something pretty to look at. The control room is so bland.

Ah, who cares? So long as you're happy with them, it's no big deal. At least you don't collect dolls or something boring.

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-22 07:27 am UTC (link)
	Whatever works for you, I guess. Death by awkwardness is always amusing to watch, so go ahead. Just making you guys more normal. And isn't there stuff you're supposed to be looking at down there? Like cameras and whatnot? Yeah, I leave the collecting dolls to ten year olds, thanks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-22 08:30 am UTC (link)
	Awww, already looking forward to my death? And I thought we were getting along so well. Tch, nah, most of my co-workers are lazy jerks and send me to do the rounds while they gawk at the camera monitors. They're bores, seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-23 03:23 am UTC (link)
	I didn't say your death. Geeze, people these days and their jumping to conclusions. I actually meant whoever you were making feel awkward. Aww. So you just go running around the hallways and they pretty much watch free porn? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ah, right right. Well, can't say I know many people who I make feel awkward. Most people are getting sadly used to me. Shame. Might have to become a bit more unpredictable.

Pretty much, lazy bums. I'm working on it though. I want to be a lazy bum too every once in a while. But see, if you joined security, it might not be that bad. You'd do the rounds with me wouldn't ya?

That sounds surprising, mostly because you don't seem easy to get used to. (And no, I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. Take it however you want.) I suppose you will have to get more unpredictable. Have fun with that.

How do you decide who goes on the rounds and who stays in the control rooms? And I think I'd rather do rounds than sit and watch the cameras.

I'll take it as a compliment. I try, but you know. Only so many things you can do before your unpredictability becomes predictable. And I will, thanks, but if people come complaining, can I send them your way?

Well, it's supposed to be we share the responsibility of it. In reality, you gotta annoy the rest of them to go out on the rounds. And keep saying things like you'll do the rounds with me, and I might petition to have you come over and work security with us.

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-24 08:42 am UTC (link)
	What if you started acting normal? I think people would pretty much freak out... Hah, sure, send all the complainers to me. Maybe I can shut them up? So people just don't want to walk around the halls? Lazy. Go ahead, petition away. Maybe I could do it part-time? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-24 08:50 am UTC (link)
	Man, I couldn't act normal. That's so hard! Who's normal anyway? And sweet, got a blonde chick named Ino who might want to talk to you. Yes, you'd be saving me. Now'd be a good time anyway. We just got a new guy. Promises to be fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-25 06:27 am UTC (link)
	Psh, but it'd throw people off. And I don't know, that's actually a good question. Ino? That's hilarious. She's kinda scared of me. Apparently knives and long blonde hair don't mix. Alright, alright, I'll think about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-25 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	I'll try it one day or something. Maybe Leave it to Beaver style stuff is normal. That would freak me out if someone acted like that. Good, I'll send her your way. You're the best Tenten, seriously. Way to be awesome. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-26 01:19 am UTC (link)
	I think it'd freak me out, too. And I'm not usually freaked out, so you might wanna stay away from me. Try not to piss her off too badly, though? Or is it too late? Yeah, I know. Thank me later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nudityonlegs 2009-07-26 01:33 am UTC (link)
	Quick with knives when you freak out? And don't worry, I'd warn ya. Nah, I think she's calmed down some. She seems cool, other than the stomping balls in stilettos. Oh? How'd you like to be thanked? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	houseofdaggers 2009-07-26 01:46 am UTC (link)
	I would never even dream of stabbing one of the security guards. Hah, I definitely should've warned you about that. Sorry. I was joking. It sounds fun, anyway, so no thanking necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
