(no subject)
I think I'm experiencing a post-exam slump. o___0 Is it normal to be ridiculously excited and hyped up before the exams, and completely morose when they finish? DDDDD : I feel saaaad and I don't even understand why! I've tried all my standard happy-making methods; music, art, reading fic, reading actualfax BOOKS, but no dice. I think the ultimate blow is that my DVD player refuses to play LOTMS. Epic DD:
Oh also, just finished reading Animal Farm, by Orwell. Most depressing book or most depressing book? (I know it's not, but it felt like it) The only plus side is that it's super short -- 94 pages. Is it counted as a novella? My other book on the immediate to-read list is The Book Thief, and while I've heard it has a happy pay-off at the end, I don't quite feel up to ploughing through the beginning. Perhaps I'll just read Good Omens again. *g* Or, y'know, actually read the toread tag on my delicious that is at the moment... *checks*... 51 bookmarks long. The whole POINT of me keeping a toread tag is for when I get bored/ don't have to time to read the piece at that moment in time. This is the perfect time for both those things; what with being bored AND having plenty of free time. Aarrrghhhh.
Other things to keep me occupied during the break include the list of movies one of my friends has written up for me. She insists that my cinematic knowledge is severely lacking. I am inclined to agree with her. The movies I've got for the next 2 weeks are Pocahontas, Run, Fatboy, Run! and Educating Rita. *rubs hands* Should be good.
I've actually been drawing more bandom art, which I intend to post here, once I figure out an easy, effective way to post at a good size. It may or may not involve getting a Photobucket account.... I think after setting up a Livejournal, and the very unfortunate acquisition of a Facebook account, the idea of having a Photobucket is much less intimidating.
And now, because it is Sunday, and I keep to my word:
day 01 | a song
day 02 | a picture
day 03 | a book/ ebook/ fanfic
day 04 | a site
day 05 | a youtube clip
day 06 | a quote
day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy
Uhhhm. I trained myself out of going on youtube because otherwise, I'll destroy the download capacity and we end up on shaped (64KB, which SUCKS), so I'm gonna have to go on my memory of Youtube videos I liked.
The post it notes video! Doing the handwriting meme reminded me of it! It is second to the coke&mentos video, but I guess you guys have seen it already? Ahhhh this video is so cool! Precision post it note waterfalls! How can you go wrong? Also, very pretty *g*
Fandom video.... Hmmm. There are so many! I think I'm gonna go with Toxic, a Frank/Gerard fanvid made by thejumpcut. It's to Britney Spears, dude. The lip-syncing is some of the best I've seen in bandom (uh, not that there's a lot of bandom fanvids). When I was thinking of fanvids, I thought about the fabella one, using placebo's meds? but then I realised I already linked it a while ago. I've kinda faded from MCR-centic fandom, but they are still my favourites ♥. Likewise, Frank/ Gerard is no longer my OTP, but I still like it. This vid pretty much sums up their whole OTP-ness, along with a heavy dose of Projekt Rev (aka Projekt Gaymolution) footage. One of my non-fandom friends was quite surprised when she watched this, cause she didn't think their....homosocial behaviour went this far. It was still pretty funny for me to watch.
Huh. The good thing about starting a post early, and finishing it late in the day is that it gives time for my mood to clear up. Isn't that cool? After I started this, I watched The Notebook, which was sad at the end but really sweet throughout it. Not to mention the two leads are, um, gorgeous. Really, really. And the dude looked like Josh Pyke when he grew up *_____* That movie, combined with a successful dinner-cooking venture and some spontaneous poetry writing has left me feeling much happier and satisfied than I was 6 hours ago.
*yawn* Daylight savings always leaves me drained. I'm gonna sleep and attempt to get back into normal sleeping habits (lol impossible, but w/e I can still try.)
