Bits and bobs
Hallo, fList. <3
I'm so sleepy, waiting for a phone call at work. So, I thought: Ah! Update~!
Did I mention we watched Hunger Games? I might have, if not, then let me squee properly: Aaaah, that was a good movie! Made my son think, revalue life and above else, mention that one does sacrifice the self for those you love. Because there is no other decent thing to do in the heat of the moment.
My son is wise, but then, it's in his blood to be a hero. Or anti-hero, depending on which one of my parents we are thinking of. Me, myself? Yeah, I might actually do as an anti-hero. Sort of. I mean, uhm, I've saved people, shielded them with my own body against bullets and being hunted and what not? Whatever. My son, however... he's a beautiful example of a hero in the becoming.
Over to the movie; I loved it. I frankly don't care if it wasn't the book exactly. It was grand, horrible and so painful to watch. Why painful? Uhm... been there, done that? Hidden, been hungry, been on the run, being shot at, been almost killed, been sold out by those who should watch your back? Yeah, fList. This movie was one huge trigger for me. But, I loved it. Take it from someone who's been there. It was done with respect. Also, bloody good story.
That's why I got Leon the series to his birthday, but since he was sad panda yesterday, he got to unwrap the box and put me to the glorious task of reading for him. Have I said how much I love reading to him? It's so rewarding to watch him understand and follow, think and gasp over the story. It feels like giving him the means of understanding the world through a few hours of snuggling against each-other. Him giving me my tea when my voice goes rough, me explaining the difficult words. My son? Ahaha, he knows that "synonym" means, all right. The rule is that he reads in Norwegian and Swedish and that I read in English. The series is in English. Imagine how many hours of snuggling I have before me. *happy grin* When he gets his own kids, all I wish is that he does the same. But, knowing him there's no danger in his kids not getting the same amount of time spent with their father.
We are getting the new flat to Leon's birthday. I sort of like that, heeh. A good gift as any. We'll open the gifts there, show him his new room, go out, have more cake with his grandparents, go to the movies. We are gonna watch "Battleship" because YES. *coughs* It's yet another of those things we do together. Me, bb, the elf and my Elfling. Not always together, but we all love snuggling up, watching something.
Children measure love in time spent with them, we Swedes say. I would like to say that goes everywhere.
Oh, brain. Why do you associate with RP all the sudden? LOL! Hey, fList? Guess who's testing the voice of one BFG? I'm... not bad. It's like with Devcon two years ago. Listening, reading, gauging. Getting the feel of him. It gives me goosebumps. Said BFG? The BFG, actually. I'm currently testing TFP Megatron. *coughs and hides*
Won't say it's easy. Won't say I don't get him. I have a bad, bad part of my personality that matches his. Thankfully, he happens to be different enough from both Devcon and me, so it it's easy. Easy to dive into his character and stay there, if so for a moment. I'm currently studying his speech-patterns and how he moves. His reactions. That body, unf. And, gaming him, of course. Oh, man.
My plan is... if I actually make a decent job, I'll take him with me to Haven. Here's for me being able to portray a sadistic, glorious megalomaniac.
So, I'm currently sitting in my office, glaring at my project. Having some coffee. Thinking of you, each of you. How you are doing, what you are up to. Remembering what we Swedes say. Time spent is love, friends. *beaming*
So, how are you doing?
