About Me

My photo
I am a sixteen year old girl with too much on my mind, so I decided to start a blog to write it all down. I intend on becoming a journalist or best-selling author one day, so why not write often to get myself going? I love to read, watch movies, listen to music, be with my friends, cuddle my dog, and just have fun. I'm here, I'm living, so let's do something with my life.

'I suppose I am a professor now. Pretty soon I'll be going bald. '

SWEET BABY KOALAS I AM FINISHED FOREVER


That's it, Grade 11 is done FOREVER. I never have to deal with Grade 11 classes ever again. Except for functions in summer school, but that's another story. A sad, sad, sad story.

In other news, I AM STILL ON A SUPERHERO KICK. I saw X-Men: First Class with a bunch of my friends, including Sara, who you can find here. And may I just say:

IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING. Everything about the movie was sheer genius. The casting could not have been more perfect, and the story was easy to follow, with many parallels to already existing X-Men films. 

He is so attractive. And with the cape? Unf.
Magneto was executed flawlessly by Michael Fassbender. Even though his (oh-so-wonderful) Irish brogue slipped out a few times, the character was portrayed wonderfully. Erik's drive to wipe out humankind and put mutants on top was explored really well over the film, and the bromance was wonderful.

Speaking of bromance, Professor Charles Xavier was NOT BALD.

I don't understand the hobo gloves.
One of the biggest changes in this film, was that the classically bald Professor X (played by Sir Patrick Stewart in the other films) was given a luxurious head of hair in James Mcavoy's portrayal. Also, the hand on the face thing was pretty cool. And the bromance was truly awesome, and has probably spawned many more shippers...

Can I also say that I'm in love with this boy?

Pre-blueness though
Perfectly adorable and nerdy and awesome. It was so sad when *SPOILER ALERT* he turned blue. And when he showed himself to the team, and they accepted him and it was nice but I do miss the nerdy glasses of cuteness.

Fangirling is done for now, I suppose.

So all in all, it was an amazing movie and I would not hesitate to see it again! And again, and again, and again, and again, and uuuuuugh.

In other other news, not much is going on. SCHOOL IS OVER EXAMS ARE DONE AND I AM FREE. I am still unemployed, but whatever. I'm working on it, mostly...So until I write again my darlings, enjoy your summer!

'Parents believe that a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. Like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that. '

Allow me to recap all of the month of May, before we move onto the month of Hell, I mean June.
  • I failed my G2 licence test, because the examiner didn't like my parking
  • It rained. A lot.
  • I hurt my quad muscle, and limped around all month, much to the amusement of my friends
  • Band camp happened, but I didn't march. I just ate, a lot.
  • I applied for a lot of jobs, but none of them have responded
And that was the month of May. So far in June, I've had my hair cut!
Before: I look so weird. But you're really supposed to be looking at the length of my hair, not my ugly face.


After: Still a weird looking photo of me, but look how much shorter it is! I am liberated!

So my hair is ALL gone. I feel so light and free and it's so much fun to flip around! I'm doing hair swishes while I type. *swoosh*

In other news, my life is about to go downhill. Within the next month, I have four exams (biology, functions, English, and ancient civilisations) as well as four summative assignments, one for each class. I'm NEARLY done my ancient civ presentation, sort of, and my other assignments have yet to be started. 

Oh well.

And now, I will rant about books. My best friend loaned me her copy of American Gods by Neil Gaiman, under the condition that I don't dogear the corners of the pages. I've been true to my word, and oh my baby koalas, I am loving it so much. I'm a huge mythology buff, so I really like the mythic background that's being introduced, and the characters are so interesting, and some of the nonsense the main character, Shadow, gets into makes me quake in fear. Seriously, he's kinda screwed up.
Neil Gaiman has become my hero.

I am HIGHLY recommending this to anyone who likes any sort of mythology, particularly Norse. And on that note, may I direct you to my newest obsession?
He's the greatest dragon ever.

I finally saw How to Train Your Dragon and I LOVED IT. Toothless captured my heart with his dragon-kitty antics, and Hiccup is adorable. The animation was really well done, and all the dragons were so cool to watch in flight and just chilling with the other characters. The Monstrous Nightmare was awesome, but I really want a Night Fury. They are pretty awesome.

SPEAKING OF NORSE THINGS:
'For a crazy homeless guy, he's pretty cut'

THOR. MOVIE. YAY. I actually really liked this movie. A lot of people would disagree with me, but I did like the whole thing. Sure, the Earth plot had SO much more potential, and the Asgard effects were cool, but a little too modern, but it was a really cool movie. And hellooooo, the two main male characters are extremely attractive. And if you know me at all, you know I can't resist a superhero. If there were real flying superheroes, I would totally snap one up. Or y'know, kidnap a Norse god or something.

This was the cutest thing ever.

And really, how is a girl supposed to say no to that? The hand kissing, and the 'deal?' *wild kiss* 'deal.', and the adorableness, it's all too much. But so wonderful.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail functions, but who knows. I might be able to bring my mark up, which is why I'm reverting to Tree-Hermit mode, and living out the rest of my life, in a tree. So farewell until after exams and nonsense. Keep well, and don't forget to water your plants, and if you do happen to see a Norse god or a Night Fury wandering around, send them my way. Thank you, and adieu.
