(no subject)
I know I haven't posted here for a while, but I just suddenly had a burst of nostalgia for no real reason and I feel the need to share. And it's too long for tumblr.
When I was younger (like, elementary school and below) my friends and I would re-enact movies for fun.
I remember not long after Mulan came out I bought a soundtrack for it on a shopping trip during a vacation back out in AZ. When we got back to my Grandma's house (Mulan was made after I'd moved to the East Coast and I was visiting my family in Arizona, and thus staying at my Grandma's house) we put the CD in and blasted it, dancing around in the living room. Then we had the bright idea to try to do the Chinese make-up they had done, so we raided my mom's make-up (with her permission) and powdered our faces completely white. Then we kind of haphazardly wrapped ourselves in sheets and danced around to "Honor To Us All".
My friend Dani and I used to hang out at each other's houses all the time because we used to live about 5 minutes away and if I wanted to I could get off at her bus stop instead of mine after school (as long as I called my parents to let them know). So we would listen to Disney soundtracks all the damn time, and we one day decided to choreograph a dance routine (a really bad one, but we tried) to one of the songs from the Tarzan soundtrack. And we sang and performed it for Dani's parents (I think it was really only her mom).
And holy crap, when Pokemon 2000 came out. I went and saw it with my friends Caitlin and Katherine, and when we got back we made construction paper wings and bird mask-y bits for Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, and Lugia. And we spent the entire time until their parents came to pick them up running around the basement and re-enacting the whole movie pretty much. And then when their parents came we re-enacted the whole thing again for them. Wish I had pictures of us in our construction paper legendary bird wings. It was so much fun.
Anyway, that's enough nostalgia for now.
