Look ma! I’m on camera!

February 6th, 2006

What does a girl do, bored out of her mind, on a really hot Tuesday night, with a couple of beers on the side, and a webcam at her disposal?

Shoot a video.

What does a girl do with it after she has sobered up?

Post it up for the world to see and ridicule, then let them shred her self-worth to pieces.

She must be out of her freaking mind.

…. and I reaaaaally should stop referring to myself as a third person

READ THIS FIRST:

1. It was late. I was tired. And already had a drink before the video.

2. I am ALREADY aware that :
a) I sound like I am retarded
b) I am as eloquant as a 5 year old autistic child with a speech impediment
c) I have an annoying voice
d) My face is ugly
e) I’m as funny as a chinese fingernail extracting torture instrument
f) [insert other deragotary insult of choice]

… so yeah, please tell me something NICE. Even if you have to lie through your teeth.

3. This would be of course, my first video recording ever.

4. The video was done in ONE take. No edit, nothing - only because I don’t KNOW how to, and even if I did, I probably can’t be arsed to do it. But, I did do retakes (about 2 others) because I kept screwing up pronounciating words like HI! FIREANGEL! IS! NOT! ALCOHOLIC!

5. No preparations or ANY research done prior to recording. I WILL say stupid things.

6. It’s 7 minutes. I know. Got carried away. Sorry. Perhaps an alcoholic beverage first?

7. I bear NO responsibility whatsoever for anything BAD that may happen to you as a result of watching this video (eg, convulsions, nightmares, insomnia, nausea, hysteria, the sudden ability to speak in tongues etc.)

8. I deny EVERYTHING.

Nevertheless, I STILL hope you have as much fun watching it as I have recording it.

Some obligatory but very bad quality camwhoring pictures. Using webcam lah.

  14. ‘… and I reaaaaally should stop referring to myself as a third person’

    Yeah, you’re starting to sound like a female Zap Brannigan! :-)

    ‘1. It was late. I was tired. And already had a drink before the video.’

    I always found a scotch and coke before going on stage helped my jitters when I was a musician (only because it’s hard for introverts to get up and perform without something to get rid of inhibitions).

    ‘2. I am ALREADY aware that :
    a) I sound like I am retarded’

    That’s not very Politically Correct!!!
    *Phones the PC police!* :-)

    ‘b) I am as eloquant as a 5 year old autistic child with a speech impediment’

    Don’t insult 5 year old autistic children with speach impediments! :-)
    *runs*

    ‘c) I have an annoying voice’

    I think it sounds cute, especially the accent. :-)

    ‘d) My face is ugly’

    Wanna swap? Bet your face seems a lot prettier now with that offer! :-)
    [Thinks you just said you are ugly as you are fishing fo compliments!]
    If you really think it’s bad, do the next Video with a paper bag on your head! :-)

    ‘e) I’m as funny as a chinese fingernail extracting torture instrument’

    Oh well, we can’t all be funny. :-)
    *No comments please* :-)

    ‘f) [insert other deragotary insult of choice]‘

    You’re a female Dabido … that’s the worst insult I can think of. :-)
    NOW I’m in big trouble! :-)

    ‘… so yeah, please tell me something NICE. Even if you have to lie through your teeth.’

    I thought it was a nice review. My mother came to see what I was watching right when you were going ‘It’s F***ing hot’ etc. I had to apologies and say, ‘Sorry Mum, she sort of swears a lot.’ :-)

    ‘5. No preparations or ANY research done prior to recording. I WILL say stupid things.’

    Like saying that Belgians speak Belgian? They speak Flemish (and also French and English … or so the ones I’ve met and been white water rafting with).

    Looking forward to the FireAngel movie. 90 minutes of HoeGaaaaaarden reviews!

    Besides, why drink beer? In Aussie they DO CALL IT P*SS for a reason.
    Do a real review, scotch and coke, LIIT, vestal virgins, grasshoppers, ribena and galliano etc, :-)

    A different drink each week. :-)

  16. uhhhh imran. if you like, see FA in real life, the last thing that would come to mind is the word ‘chubby’.

    think ‘hot’.

    think ‘thin’.

    think ‘kate moss can get lost’.

    anyways, i cannot wait for the next one. hehe FASTER FASTER MAKE NUDDER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. The couldy appearance is due to the remains for the yeasts which is required for fermentation.

    Yeast is a good source for Vitamin B, biotin & niacin. So, another plus point for drinking alcohol?

  29. FA: WTF!??!?! CHUBBY?!?!? HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO WEIGH TO BE SLIM THESE DAYS?!?!?! 20??!?!! POUNDS?!?!?

    As far as I’m concerned you’re slim enough already.

    Chubbiness is a desirable trait. Sadly, most women don’t believe in that kind of shit nowadays. Instead, they prefer the traits of an anorexic. Which aren’t really that sexy, unless you’re another product of pop culture who thinks its wrong to have an opinion and would rather do what the mass crowd does. Tell me, FireAngel, what’s so fun about humping a bag of bones? It’s not, right?

    Slimness is overrated. Voluptousness, on the other hand, is underrated. And we need more voluptuous babes around.

    So may I call you chubby again? In a good way? Please, Fireangel?

    FA: Only if you bribe me with a gallon of liquour.

  30. Pretty cute, but a very ‘mo-liu’ dialogue :D

    I’m impressed that you had so much to say in front of a cam on the first take, a lot of people tend to be tongue-tied when it comes to speaking in front of a camera.

    It’s a shame youtube.com is such a public hosting, there were really a lot of shite comments posted up there about you - very unnecessary!

    Look forward to reading more on your blog :)

    FA: Eh since was this an intellectual blog? Heh. Pity about the Youtube comments. Thank god for the Delete function though. By the way, this video WAS MY THIRD TAKE. I screwed up the first 2 :)  Well, thanks for dropping by!

  33. Sweet! You are shyer than I had anticipated, but very cute with it :)

    I pity you one thing: that the ‘gods’ did not favour you with taste buds to truly appreciate just how great beer is.

    Beer is yum and no less sophisticated than any other form of alcoholic beverage!!!

    FA: Yes. I pity me too. :(

  40. CrazyC: I do that! It’s a good idea, because naturally you want to see what’s being filmed. The other options are minimising the video screen so you can’t be tempted to look at yourself, or to make the camera more interesting with photos and such.

    FA: You already know I loved your video, but here I am saying it again anyway. More videos please, and down with the haters!

  53. You seemed to be slightly flushed and contented during the shooting. I noticed that it was a very long mike you were holding. From a technical point of view, I could not help wondering if you had rested the other end of the mike between your legs for stability. Oh, did I mention that you appeared to be slightly flushed and contented? Yup, I did! Of course, that could be because of the drink. Either that, or you could have been moving the long mike around a tad too much. Technically speaking, of course!

  54. Brave attempt. Dont worry about the detractors, you’ll get better.

    I know its a fun blog but perhaps when reviewing alcohol, you could review elements like the nose (describes the smell), body (depth,taste), finish (lingering aftertaste) and the packaging of the drink. Cheers!

  61. It’s pronounced Who-Garten, as opposed to Ho-Garden.

    And there are much better beers out there than that, check out Kingfisher Strong from Bangalore. Similar alcohol content as the Grand Cru crap but I think you’d find it less bitter (since you are such a sweet lover). One large bottle of this will get you going, not that you need anything else to get you going.

  73. honestly:
    your voice is a little hoarse for a girl, but that’s probably due to tiredness and the lousy mike. you don’t look exceedingly glamourousy BEAUtiful but you’re not ugly either. i think you have a sweet face, just that the darkness shrouded you and you were probably tired, and thus hagged looking. not to mention you were a little pissed on alcohol. you are pretty. BUT…
