After the long post from yesterday about serious business, I thought I might write about other, more pleasant things I've been doing. Or really, what I plan to do. And am starting. Today. Yeah.
I'm getting back on track with 365 Film Challenge on Tumblr. I SHALL ACCOMPLISH THIS, I SWEAR. All day at school (when I wasn't taking tests or quizzes. They give you a break only if all of the teachers can give you tests to do.) I was writing out what movies I'm going to watch over the next week or so. And they were all super serious movies. Which probably isn't good to watch only super serious movies. So I asked my friends and got some other recommendations on movies I should watch, and so the list for the long weekend is:
Thursday:
Citizen Kane
Friday:
Pretty in Pink
The Virgin Suicides
This Means War
Saturday:
Brick
A Separation
Newsies
With Pretty in Pink and Brick only needing to be finished. But still. This weekend ought to help get me back on track. I'm going to post reviews over at my Tumblr account. I'll decide what movies are to be watched on Sunday and Monday later.
I'm working on my first fanfiction in a long time. Marvel universe, Steve/Tony, supposed to be for the cap_ironman community. I don't know if they're still doing it, but it's looking okay, and I'll probably post it there when it's finished.
Also, trying to write a script. It's quite a bit different from a traditional story, in format, which is part of the reason why I think it's difficult for me. But I like the premise (my friends and I bounced around ideas one day and I decided that we should go through with this one) so I want to drudge on through.
And I need to get my Cap cosplay in order. My partner-in-crime is almost done with her Natasha Stark cosplay, and I'm about ready too (we found an old WWII uniform that'd be perfect for Steve) but I need a binder, I think. And I can't find a tape measure to figure out what size I need. I need to not be so lazy, but I haven't cosplayed in a long while, and it's strange getting back into it. I wouldn't mind doing it again, sewing, doing proper makeup this time, and the like. My friend's a great cosplayer and it'll be weird, I fear, to do a group thing with her. I don't want to drag her down or anything.
I keep thinking of things; I'm also trying to find something to do that'll preoccupy my hands. Maybe coin tricks? (So I can feel a bit like Shadow.)
I could keep going on about other things, like how I want to learn another language (although I'm not sure which. They're all fascinating) or how I'm working on (yes, WORKING ON) running a half marathon, but I'm going to stop here today. I'll report back soon.
