the valiant return

SO I'm back in the UK and have been since Monday, but have otherwise been occupied by the lovely company of ormery for the since Tuesday and today countersparking has joined the ranks too. We spent the evening eating takeout, watching movies and giggling over stupid things like this, and I have to say it's good to be back with my buddies from the UK. I'll miss all my

ahaha i'm also jetlagged and my parents are taking us away for the weekend to.... wait for it.....

...... Newport. ._. I'm not at all sure why they think it's such a good idea :s but they say it's a central location for places they want to go and they want to drive past our new house >>;;

I'm in that situation about uni work too ;A; I think i've got a new dissertation idea down though. Maybe. I need to email Matt and see what he says ;A; And I have lots of drawing to do ;A; I think that one of the kids at camp stole my sketch book with all my concept art in, and I am so pissed >( I had a lot of crap in it, but there were things I wanted ;A;

And you do know that I will help you with the bills and stuff, right? The minute I am back on sunday/monday I will be ready to sort this stuff out if you want me too :3

Feeling jetlagged is always the worst because you feel all zombified. :I

...but lmfao. BEST LOCATION FOR VACATIONING EVER. gdjdfmhn

What's the new idea? --and omfg YOU NEED TO BEAT THAT KID UP!!!

Yeah I know! But it's harder to do over phone unless you're sitting with us and skyping or something. We'll figure it out!

I REALLY WISH I'D GIVEN INTO THE URGES AND WHACKED HER ONE!!

Yeah, I feel very zombiefied right now ;A;

I was thinking about looking into conversion from book to animated film, and why people feel the need to retell a story into a different medium and something like that XD;;

I have no idea what texts to get research from though, but I am thinking about doing How to train your dragon and Charlottes web for my book to movie examples

LMFAO. Yeah seriously? You don't take that shit from university students and get away with it. B|

I'm not sure you can stretch that into 10,000 words. I mean, a lot of the time, the movies are modified so they suit bigger audiences, not just the fans? IDK it could be interesting. See what Matt says? As for research I have no idea where you'd find that. I'm sure there are from book to screen books but I can't think of any specific ones.

[silverbrumby123]

well, we'll see :s I already have an online article about the making of charlottes web and it has some stuff about the author and how they worked together! The wizard of earthsea might also be a good one to look at, as there was a pretty good article about that recently too! I think if I find the right thing to look at I could stretch it into 10,00 words, but I really need to sit and plan it out and stuff.

Well if you think you can make it work then I say go for it. I'd make a essay plan and sent it to Matthew first and see what he thinks.
