Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
so i was going to post to my journal earlier, but lj has been down for a few days to the best of my knowledge. the main point i'm trying to make is that i tried... i tried to blog for you guys. i've been reading, doing homework and working a little on cosplay for the past two days since i have sunday and monday off. i have discovered that frog tape doesn't stick to rubber latex, and neither does any other tape. so i was a little fucked on the lilith wings. i'll have to paint them by hand which is a huge pain in the ass. esp since i already bought the blue spray paint. i'm hoping i can find the receipt and return it. can't use spray paint if i can't tape off the parts i don't want blue. shit sucks. so all i ended up doing was priming with white so i can paint it later. maybe i'll try and pick up the right paint on wednesday. i was going to do it today, but i got busy with studying and watching star trek.

this weekend the main thing i had to prep for was an in class essay on sirius. this sci-fi book i had to read for engl lit. basically we were given the perimeters. 2 hrs, 500-700 words, develop a thesis around either of the topics given. the topic i chose was basically that sirius wasn't a sci-fi novel. that it was just a relationship novel glossed over with the barest hint of sci-fi. the thesis i created addressed the fact that most of the themes in the book are portrayed through the character's personal relationships and not through scientific discovery. but all this is boring to people who have never read this book XP my main issue was trying to fit 3 pages of notes on essay structure, book quotations, my thesis, and outlining the 3 arguments, into a 3"x5" index card. lame i know, but luckily i write small. i even included the MLA citation just in case, since i never know with this prof. next semester, or whenever it's available i'm kinda convinced i want to take the children's lit course. i think it'd be fun.

on friday, momo and i just sat and wanted a bunch of movies most of the night. 'the swell season','my week with marilyn', and 'the descendants.' they were all pretty good. then later i watched 'the man-ster'. i like it when we just sit and watch movies rather than watching tv. for 1, i don't really like tv and tend not to watch it unless it's criminal minds, grimm or project runway. usually i read instead, or i wander off. and 2, because watching movies with my mom is easier than with my dad. i like movies, but dad's super picky and will usually pick the most retarded movies ever. i think his last enlightening tale was 'machete.' kind of brings a tear to my eye. of sorrow, not of pride.
the next night i also watched 'waiting' and 'percy jackson and the olympians; the lightning theif.' i've seen both, but i like percy jackson and waiting i haven't seen since it came out. plus the news that nathan fillion's going to be in the next percy jackson makes me extremely happy. i do love me some nathan fillion. watching that movie always makes me want to start on the books though, even though they're for kids :P
watched the lorax tonight. though missed the first 15-20 mins because i was seated in the wrong theater :C was sad about that, but i still liked it. i like the bears
✄---------------------------------------
sooo, it's something i've addressed in the past, but i still don't get it. people are always shocked when they find out i read. and by read, i mean a lot. i usually finish around one or two books a week depending on their length and how much hw i have from classes. or i tend to be a bit slower when i don't really find the book that interesting. but anyway, for books that i read freely, i read many. and generally from several different genres, though sci-fi is by far my favorite. i read classics to trash, it doesn't really matter to me as long as i like it. but people are still seemingly shocked when they find out i've read something. really? like really really? i've been this way since prolly before highschool. i read a shit ton, and i do so very quickly. i finished the millenium series in less than two weeks. shock and awe people, is all i can say.
✄---------------------------------------
i want to murder the lilith costume, it's causing me so much stress. if worse comes to worse, maybe she-ra will be done by then. if the wig arrives in time. so i can wear that to sakura. though that'll make it two years in a row i wore a western styled cosplay instead of anime or videogames.... all well.
✄---------------------------------------
updated the groove list. currently i'm not sure which book to dl. 'the hunger games' or 'brave new world.' i'll end up reading both, so i suppose it doesn't matter. i finished 'fair game' and it was awesome. just makes me crave more. new nalini singh comes out may 29th. can't wait!

Britt
