Colin J.
Kelly
Um, HI there! Random-person-who-I-may-or-may-not-know.
Obviously you're looking at the Bio for Colin Kelly. At least I hope that's why you clicked on this link. If you were looking for a Lovely Lady of Pendant, you missed.
And if you wanted to click on this, WHY ARE YOU STALKING ME????????
Okay, I'm being told that you should have a Picture in your Bio. How's this?
Cameras hate me, as you can obviously tell. This is why I'm into radio dramas and Voice acting and writing as YOU CAN'T SEE MY UGLY MUG.
A ninja managed to take a photo of me in the 300 room. I woke up the next day with the milk having this taped over a side. Believe or not, the Ninja's have a sense of Humor.
Yeah. Jeffrey's gonna kill me if I don't get on topic. Don't believe me? He's sitting there, reading this and noticing the bright red button labeled "summon ninjas to kill someone" is looking really shiny.
So, I'm Colin Kelly, AKA MIKEY on the Pendant Yahoo list, AKA SemiColon to all the kid's at my school, Creighton Prep, and the Crazy Teenager of the Pendant Ether. Crap. Now I'm gonna have to change this in four years. Oh well.
I dubbed myself the crazy teenager of the Pendant shortly after joining the yahoo group. SemiColon is shrouded in mystery, and forgetfulness; I have no clue where it started. MIKEY came to be after the one of the Directors, Marcus, called me Mikey when I brought up, Holy-Crap-I-Forgot-To-Cast-That Parts, and said that I was always open to take the part that had been forgotten to get cast. Mikey is from a Life Commercial about how three Kids don't want to eat LIFE because it's supposed to be healthy. So they give it to their little Brother, Mikey, because "Mikey will do it". My parents named me Colin after that famous world war two hero, Captain Colin Patrick Kelly, an Ace Pilot who sunk the Huruna By himself. Hey! Why doesn't Dixie feature a real world war two hero? *cough*Jeffrey*cough*
Yeah, it's a long story how I found Pendant.
When I was... 13? My family moved from the AWESOME state of Colorado, to Nebraska. No mountains in sight, no friends I knew, no real reason to have moved. So, I finished Eighth grade, and went to High school at a Jesuit school, Creighton Prep. Freshman year, I made Twenty bucks shoveling snow for some neighbors. They were running a raffle at my school, and my hard earned cash (do you believe that it is easy to shovel snow in Nebraska where it freezes in three hours?) went in to getting me some tickets, with the hopes of getting me a Wii.
About two weeks later, I was sitting in study hall when they announced the winners of the raffle. Missed the Wii, but I scored a $300 iPod video with 80 Gigs. Ya missed the target, but you did nail the other guy's bullseye.
I soon discovered Podcasting. It had the distinct advantage of being FREE, so I signed up for Pendant when I saw it, as I love superheroes, so I signed up. A young fourteen-year-old.
On November 23, 2007, after being rejected a couple of times from the fact I can't read the little notice to make sure Jeffrey knew I was human, I got in to the yahoo group. I'd been writing since I was 10, thought I had talent, and pitched a show to Jeffrey with the assumption that I was making it attractively mysterious. He basically whipped the floor with me. Since then, I've been sending stuff in to Seminar, and by the gods, one of these days I'm going to write something that Pendant will produce.
So, writing didn't seem to be the easiest way to get in. Directing class showed up. The night of that Directing class, Jeffrey came up with the Minor rule. You now have to be eighteen. I caused this, and I'm strangely proud of It. YEAH!
So, I'm reduced to the old skool way. Auditioning. YEAH. So, my first role was Marle in the Kingery. I actually wasn't going to audition, but had thrown out a remark when the casting call came out that since the character had to scream like girl, it was up my alley. The last day to audition, I got an e-mail from Jamie Tyler, who now resides on the Sixth Moon, wondering why I hadn't sent in an audition. I made up some balderdash, sent in my audition and, the rest just happened.
I'm happy I found Pendant. Many of the best people in the world are in this group; Master Panda (I'm his Padawan. He calls me Tiger), Jeffrey (one of these days that Crapsenser will fail) his lovely wife Susan, M. Sieiro Garcia, Kathryn Pride, Mike Winters, David Ault, NOT COLIN SNOW (JK) Bill Young, Scotty Vinnacombe... you know what, I'm getting carpal tunnel, just look on the list with all the nice names. Those people are amazing and wonderful. And don't forget talented.
So, here are my plans for my involvement for Pendant:
Grab as many roles as possible. Write may seminar shorts, and my own show. Direct some show.
I also happen to run a kitchen in the Pendant studios. Stop by if you want a bite to eat.
-Colin J. Kelly, MIKEY, the SemiColon, and the Crazy-Teenager-of-the-Pendant-Ether.
