um, doctor who was SO GREAT this week. i already sort of shipped the doctor with the tardis but COME ON IT'S CANON NOW. FOR REAL. and the actress who played idris/sexy/the tardis reminded me so much of helena bonham carter, so i, of course, really liked her. I WANT HER TO COME BACK. WRITE THAT INTO A FUTURE SCRIPT, MOFFAT. or just bring gaiman back for more episodes and let him do it~
speaking of neil gaiman, i just started his book neverwhere. i recently finished city of bones, the first in the mortal instruments series, and FUCK I JUST REMEMBERED I NEED TO DO A PROJECT BY WEDNESDAY AAAAAAAHHHHHH anywho i really liked it. i need to go get the second book so i can continue the series!
and speaking of things i am doing, i'm starting fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood. now, let me tell you a little secret. in middle school, i was a HUGE anime/manga nerd. it was pretty much the only thing i liked and i even knew a handful of japanese phrases because of it. now all i can remember is "haru wa soko ni kiteita" which means something along the lines of "spring has arrived" (lol dnangel ending theme...) ANYWHO. one of, if not my ultimate, favorite series that i ever watched was fullmetal alchemist. i never got into the manga but the series was something else entirely. i was so in love with that series. just thinking about al and ed's brotherhood makes me want to freaking cry. IT'S SO GOOD AND INTENSE AND DEEP. i swear it's like nothing you've ever seen before. so, that means you should watch it. do it for me? :'( welp, i know that a couple years ago they did a new series called FMA: brotherhood which follows the manga exactly, something i know the original anime failed to do. so i'm going to start watching it and i'm soooo freaking excited because well...
THAT'S AL. ISN'T HE GORGEOUS? AWWWWW. I LOVE AL. HE'S BY FAR MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. HE'S SO SWEET AND HE LIKES CATS AND IS NICE TO EVERYONE. WAHHHHHH AND LOOK AT HIM HE'S ALL OLD AND BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE HIM SO MUUUUUCH. /fangirling. so yeah, i'm pumped to see my lovely elrics again :')
and now for the prom woes. yeah, i got some troubles. so, originally i didn't really want to go to prom because it's a dance and i don't enjoy dancing, and it's expensive and i am cheap as hell, and i am extremely picky with dresses and i didn't want to go through the trouble of finding one. BUT i accidentally stumbled upon this gorgeous vintage 50's dress with a brown-tan-cream hawaiian print and full skirt and halter top and oh my god it is so gorgeous and i want it so bad and i love dressing up so that's the start of my dilemma. i really want to dress up and wear that damn dress. the second part is that last night was a neighboring school's prom and i'm facebook stalking all the photos and my god everyone looks so happy and fancy and it seems like such a good time. so the obvious solution is to just get the dress and go to prom, right? no, not so easy. everyone in my would-be prom group has dates. everyone. normally i wouldn't mind being one of the few people going stag, because i could have a good time with those other girls, right? well, not this time. because i'd be the only one. and i don't want to be lonely; i'm lonely enough as is with all my friends being in relationships right now and me third wheel'ing it up. i just don't want to pay a ton of money for this dress and take the time to look good and pay another load of money to sit around and feel bad for myself.
i would normally just ask a guy friend to go with me as friends because, believe it or not, at one point in my life i had a TON of guy friends. not so much anymore...most of us have grown apart and the remaining few are gay, taken, or still not close enough to me that it wouldn't be weird to go as pals. and none of those guy friends have any buddies who could help out. so i'm really in a rut right now. i don't know what to do and i would recruit some other single ladies into the group so i wouldn't be alone but our group is big enough as is. i think there's like 11 couples in it already and i don't want to add more trouble to it.
so yup, those are my prom woes. i will probably be complaining about them on twitter until either i a) figure something out or b) prom is over and i haven't gone and am sitting around complaining about how i know i will regret this for the rest of my life but there was just nothing i could do and blah blah blah. wah wah wah. CALLING ALL HIGH SCHOOL BOYS IN THE CHICAGOLAND AREA WHO ARE SINGLE. GO TO PROM WITH MEEEEEE.
okay i'm done being whiny and sad and lonely. at least on here.
bah humbug.
