The Portentous Mystery Of The Sombre Sobrero
We had an epic Back To The Future marathon with Amy today, which was mucho fun. :) As always we put on English subtitles, which as you know sometimes come with complete soundtrack/audio effect description for the hearing impaired. The ones on Back to The Future movies feature extensive vocabulary, like so:
It's always good to be learnin' new words. We lol'd hard and proceeded to make fun of "portentous" and "sombre" because they sound so posh and/or latino, and because no one uses them anymore :P We furthermore concluded that sombre sounds like sombrero, and that a portentous urban legend about a sombre sombrero which sucks in whoever wears it deserves mythic reputation :P Or a book that would be turned into a movie, and the movie poster would have a black sobrero with a purple ribbon encircled in ominous gray smoke, with the review "Climactic! ☆☆☆☆☆" on it. It would be an EPIC, ominous and gloomy movie about a sombrero which lurks in the dark alleyways of Madrid, Barcelona or Mexico for unwitting victims... Brrrr~ *shivers*
Uhm, so. Still feeling overwhelmed by shit, but I've calmed down considerably. I need to make a couple of to-do lists and follow them and I'll be okay by next week. I also need to prioritise, it would probably be a lifesaver. Some of the priorities are already pretty clear to me, although I haven't written them down or shared them with anyone, because I'm still debating with myself (as I always am). But it'll be okay. I'm pretty much returning to my normal optimistic self - trying to ignore my lapses of negativity. I don't like me when I'm like that, and I am increasingly negative lately. I need to rant about things that make me angry, but I don't know if it'll do me any good. I just want things to be nice and peachy and non-pressuring. Me doesn't like ze pressure.
I had the weirdest dream this morning while I was snoozing - right before turning the alarm off and going back to bed, missing my lecture - which I really need to sit down and analyse. I can't even post it here because it wouldn't make any sense to anyone, it would totally confuse you to no end. It was such a peculiar mixture of things that I was surprised when I woke up. Not scared or anything but just... surprised. Made me go "what the hell is going on in my subconscious?!" :P
Staying in tomorrow and getting stuff done. Once I get the uni stuff off my back, I can get to the fandom stuff. One thing at a time. :P
Big meme post coming up, I have been tagged by a number of people for a number of things. I haven't forgotten, alas! ^^
