An' ah WANT mah scalps!
Even though I feel quite behind on my studying for Monday’s Psych midterm, today has been full of so many kinds of awesome :D
Woke up early to go down to the Arts House box office to queue for limited first-come-first-serve tickets to Neil Gaiman’s events in the upcoming Writers’ Festival. Rach, Liz and Sharyl joined me in that traditional Singaporean art for more than an hour because I was paranoid about there being an indecently long queue since HELLO THIS IS NEIL GAIMAN. When we got there, there were already quite a lot of people in the queue so we just sat down and talked shit and studied and took turns to hold my umbrella up against the encroaching morning sun. Then when the box office opened at 11am and the line started moving, I was like OMG EXCITE PLEASE LET THERE BE TICKETS. But then while we were still a distance back in the queue, the distributors announced that they were running out of Sunday tickets to the Meet-the-Author session so I was like FUCK PLEASE LET THERE BE TICKETS LEFT FOR ME and prayed in the queue. So when we finally got to the table, I was like, “Erh, dyou have two Sunday tickets?” (cos one person was allowed to only buy two tickets and I wanted to get for the others) and the lady at the table gave them to me and THEY WERE THE LAST TWO SUNDAY TICKETS ASKDJSAKDLJSAKDLSDKF I WENT INTO PAROXYMS OF DELIGHT HAHAHA. When she announced to the rest of the queue that there were no more Sunday tickets, I was like oh hell now all those people will hate me BUT WHATEVER I HAVE SUNDAY TICKETS FUCK YEAH >D Wah, seriously, I thank God so much for answering such a simple prayer. Sure, we had to compromise with who would attend which events, but I’m so glad we were there when we were. And at least we got tickets! As we were heading off for lunch, there was still quite a queue left when they announced that they’d run out of tickets D: That sucks to the max lah, but I guess you win some you lose some. OH NEIL GAIMAN, YOU ARE WORTH ALL THIS AND MORE YES YOU ARE <3
After my ticketing euphoria, we went to MOF for lunch and ate the best soft-serve ice-cream (shut up liz DX) ever. MOF soft-serve reveals Mac’s soft-serve for the fraud it is D< I had just cold soba for food cos I desperately wanted to try their chocolate shake and it was SO GOOD. Rach was like, “Why is it that every time I see you eat, you’re always eating carbos! Where is your meat?? Your veg??” Ahahaha, I’m a self-confessed carbo junkie, POTATO CHIP SANDWICHES FTW. But I DO eat meat and veg what! I love meat, what would I do without meat, tasty tasty meat... But it was so hot today that ice-cream and chocolate milkshake was my priority, hahaha. Aah Food, you shall always be a Top 3 on my lifelong priority list (the first two being Books and Sleep, of course).
Then I finally got to watch Inglourious Basterds with Liz, Sharyl and Rox, YAY. After seeing so many crossover Hetalia fanart, I was like ASDFKJDKL MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE. My first Quentin Tarantino movie too! Oh god, it was so awesome *_* And all through the movie, I couldn’t get this image out of my mind: http://theyoungdoyler.deviantart.com/art/Inglourious-Hetalia-complete-134971729 XD I love Aldo/America and Donny/Romano, they’re so apt, hahaha! (Dear God, Zoller/Prussia, what were you THINKING going after Shosanna/France LOLOL.) Oh Donny! May your kickass brain-bashing baseball bat and Romano swearing (“FUCK-A-DUCK!”) and fail!Italian and psychotic trigger happiness live on X) Eli Roth is so full of win <3 Also, I officially love the phrase “Mexican stand-off”, HAHA. And I think it’s so hilariously cool that Quentin Tarantino cameo-ed as an unnamed Nazi footman who was the first to be depicted being scalped by the Basterds XD
