Today was our FIRST DAY OF FILMING!! *applause*

Yep, we succesfully got through the first day and I am POOPED!

We got up at 7, which is way too early, then went to hair and makeup. I'm not sure what's up with that, I thought it was supposed to be filmed first thing in the morning...

I guess SHINee has to be pretty. ^_^

I was pretty too! I'm not normally very good looking, but I also don't wear makeup. I don't even know how to use makeup. But I looked very nice with my hair and makeup all done up for me!

Anyway, after hair and makeup, we all headed out into the living room, greeted the filming team and began our greeting.

THAT was awkward. The guys introduced themselves all together with their signature greeting. Then the camera turned to me.

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?! I just sat there awkwardly... then finally... "I'm Hannah. Nice to meet you."

The boys cracked up. I suppose it was pretty funny.

Onew laughed so hard that he collapsed on the floor, so Jonghyun sat on top of him. By this time I was bright pink.

Once the boys finally settled down, we introduced the show and began playing our first game.

It was basically catchphrase. We played on two teams: Minho, Jonghyun, and I against Onew, Key, and Taemin.

We had cards with words on them that got passed around. You could only look at the top card, and if you didn't like it, you'd throw it behind you.

The point of the game was to have the other people on your team guess the word on the card... and all the words were in Korean, which immediately put me at a disadvatage. Oh well, the point of the game was to work on my Korean language skills.

For the first round, we could say anything we wanted except the word on the card. For the second round, we couldn't speak but had to act it out. That was hard.

I thought for sure we'd lose, but as it turns out, Minho and Jonghyun were really good and we actually ended up winning. But not befroe we'd made a bet.

After we won, the other three guys had to buy us all lunch.

After we ate our victory lunch, Taemin announced that it was time for dance training. He pulled out their wii and put in... oh what's it called... um... well, some dance game anyway.

They only had 4 controllers, so two people had to sit out each song. the two people who got the lowest scores would put a mark under their name on this board we had and then switch out with the two people who had to sit out. The two people with the most marks under their name at the end of the game would have to pay a penalty.

As it turns out, I'm actually really good at that game. We had a wii in the game room at Georgia State, and my friends and I would play all the time.

Long story short, Onew and Key lost. Onew kept falling and being ridiculous... and Key just kinda refused to try very hard.

So Key and Onew had to eat some of our leftover lunch that was covered in hot sauce and... wasabi, I think?

It was hilarious!  Onew mananged to keep a straight face until he tried to talk, and Key immediately sprinted to the kitchen to get a drink of water.

That was the end of our filming. It seems like we didn't do a lot right? Well, remember we only need 2 hours of footage per week, and we played games for HOURS. it was about 4 by the time we left the dorm to go practice.

And then we parcticed the rest of the day. I have to learn to dance, so I've been moving around for the last 8 hours (It's about midnight now).

Except for in the van on the way back. ^_^ I got to sit in the back with Taemin. He held my hand I put my head on his shoulder. I probably would have fallen asleep, except I wanted to be awake with him as long as I could. He was really sweaty from all the dancing, but I didn't care.

Tomorrow is my training day with Onew. It should be fun, I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what we're going to do.

I gotta take a shower and sleep, it's late.

I don't know how many chapters I'm going to write today... I have way too much free time. ^_^

I haven't quite figured out how I want this story to play out... it should be interesting.
