When the camcorder remained on
Since her father had gifted her the latest Sony’s digital camcorder Handycam on her fifteenth birthday, Dixie had seldom left the house without her handy camcorder in tow with her. Her friend’s parties, weddings, anniversaries were the usual places where everybody takes a camcorder, what’s the big deal in it. Dixie was special in taking her video camera to the restaurants, to malls, to the beach, to the grounds, playing arena, the list was endless. She had paid heavy fines to retrieve it from the security in different shopping stores. Thank god her dad did not know that yet. Otherwise retrieving the digital camcorder back from his father’s custody was something very difficult and required loosing face in many places which she couldn’t afford.
She had a hundreds of videos and uploaded them all on her twitter profile. Every day she had a new video of her doing something exciting or totally mundane but shot in a fashionable way, which she would upload on the twitter and make her friends jealous to the core. She was the super star these days in her circle, the coolest and everybody wanted to be her friend, so, basically she was on cloud nine and she loved it. She had always been a little on the snobbish side. Being in the background never suited with her and she did not believe in the phrase show off. According to her, whatever you’ve got, you show it. What’s the big deal in it?
Like every other day, today also she had an amazing video of her dogs with her and had came to her room to add some special effects to it and then later upload it. She loved the comments people gave to her in their tweets. She loved the attention they gave her. She kept the digital camcorder on the table and went inside her dressing room to change never knowing she had forgotten to stop the camcorder. When she came back her mother was their waiting for her. Her mother was a little weird where Dixie was concerned. She still behaved as if Dixie was only five years and still talked in a tone used for toddlers ONLY. Dixie never found all the pampering irritable but she hated it, like all teenagers if her mom did it in front of her friends. That is why she made it a point that they never see this scene ever. Now also her mother had bought her food, which she fed her herself along with making two pony tails for her and twitching her cheeks. Later after dinner Dixie was feeling so sleepy she let go the editing and just uploaded the latest video. Until she got up, her fame had gotten to new heights on twitter. As Dixie the baby coochie-coo…
