Project OMG

I thought I was crazy but Reza is insane! We stayed up until 2am writing our piece and just before I sleep, he tells me he wants to change the whole thing. We spent the whole Sunday (today) writing and practicing but in the end, it was alright. We didn't suck too bad, and the British Project Connect kids seemed to like it (or did a very good job of pretending to). If Reza wasn't such a good writer I'd strangle him. But then again, he'd probably like that...

Our poem "Candy Girl" is about the relationship between a young girl (a nymphet, to be specific) and an older man. No prizes for guessing who played who. I personally love what we came up with. I was unsure about some stuff but I fought to keep them in the poem anyway. The highlight of my evening was when Hazlan said he liked that part and I was like, "Oh really? Reza hated that; he wanted to cut it out!" And I was this close to doing it, too.

I seem to be going on about this collaboration. Probably because it's my first time, and it's great to be able to work with someone who's more experienced and more mature in terms of writing. This is a lucky break. And I'd love to do it again.
