Yay FANDOM! (and a life update)
Yay! pornish_pixies is back!! I hope things will go back to normal soon, I am so proud of everyone working together and making sure we are heard. It is amazing. Yay Fandom, you are so amazing! Everyone should still join fandom_counts, even apart from the whole debacle it is pretty awesome to know how many of us there are. Join it! Even if you don't think you are in fandom anymore!
In other news. I am officially a slacker. :( Have done no essays this week. This is very, very bad as it means that I will need to write 4 in the remaining two weeks of term. Oh dear, only 2 weeks of term left. So sad. :( I should be planning my summer right now, and will do, just need to update first...
The reason for not working at all is that since last thursday I started doing lots of fun things. I finally went punting, which was hilarious as I really can't do it. Moving the punt in a straight line is pretty much impossible, so what we did was change the end from which we punted everytime we crashed into the bank or the bushes. Yay! Friday was a double birthday, so went out and had a really fun, if a tad alcohol filled night. Saturday was such fun, went to London for a fandom picnic with the london_t00bs and it rained. It was amazing, in the pretty park with ducks everywhere and soo much food and drink and proper picnic blankets and a t-rex cake. And then it rained and rained and rained. And because we are hardcore and not afraid of little rain we ran to hide in the bandstand, unfortunately that has no walls and a very high roof, so failed at protecting us from the rain. :( Eventually we gave up and went to
son_of_darkness's house. It was such a fun evening, made funnier by the fact that while everyone else was getting progressively drunk, I was still feeling not too good from the night before and was therefore completely sober. It was so good seeing people again, I guess I won't be able to do so again until syndicated which is actually getting quite close. Wow.
On Sunday I woke up, met with a friend and had lunch, then watched Pirates of the Caribbean and then had dinner. It was a good day. I want to talk briefly about pirates.
I had read really negative reviews and until about 3/4 into the film, I kept thinking omg the reviews are shit, I mean fair enough, the plot is a bit insane and everyone has tripple crossed everyone else for no apparent reason and the funny bits are random and insane also and yet and yet I LOVE IT SO MUCH YAY. There was so much to be loved, the many Jacks, oh god the many, many Jacks are a good thing. Barbosa was amazing in so many ways. Elizabeth kicked ass, I don't care what people say I love her. Orlando failed to act like always but he is cute and so forgiven. All the new characters were awesome, the dog! And Keith! And all the pirates from different parts of the world! And Elizabeth the Pirate King. All this was pretty much yayness. AND THEN IT ALL WENT WRONG AND I HATED IT.
This is Disney. It is supposed to be happy!
After everything they went through, all the sadness and a soon to be MTV award winning kiss, and a wedding which was supremely cheesy and yet cool, they deserved their happy ending.
Why didn't they get their happy ending? Why did Norrington die just like that?? Everything is Bootstrap's fault. Couldn't he had cut his own heart out. :((((
It's like such a major WTF?!?! at the end. Despite Jack in his little rowing boat with the cut out of the map I didn't feel satisfied. You know when you leave the cinema and it is difficult to stop yourself from saying WHAT THE FUCK to everyone you see. :(
I don't even ship Will/Elizabeth and yet and yet.
He is dead or immortal whatever and she is a single mother who is going to age and die and he will not and she is all alone and not a pirate and I don't care if it is pure love, sex only once in every 10 years is pretty damn awful.
Then on Monday I proceeded to do no work whatsoever, went to meet a friend for breakfast, came back to college and went straight to Lunch, went out in the evening. Did anyone know that baby love bar has sex rooms?? (my name for them, but it is appropriate!) I had never noticed them before, for they are so hidden and private with many candles. I have so much wax on my clothes now. :( Tuesday was good, there was a chocolate fountain and yesterday I tried to finally do some work but ended up listening to arabic, indian and bulgarian music on youtube until 2 am with my tute partner. It was then that we gave up on writing the essay. oops. I want to do something tonight, but nothing is going on which is sad. I want to dance!
