The problem with having so much free time is that I don't know what to do with myself. When I was revising, I could think of so many other things I wanted to do: blog, scrapbook, paint, read, spend time with friends; and now I just don't know where to start! I'm all "so. many. things. I. want. to. do... OVERLOAD!!" or something along those lines...
I may be having trouble deciding what to do with my free time but I have been getting on with some things. I've finally drawn on the white pair of converse-esque shoes that have been hanging around my room for a while (Mark III seen as the first two pairs have holes in) and as before, one shoe looks better than the other. Someday I'll get the hang of making both feet look equally awesome! I've also been working my way through Star Wars with my mum and we've finished watching the 3 more recent prequels and next up are the proper films!! I couldn't decide which order to watch them in so we went for chronological order rather than filmed order. So far I'm really enjoying them (even if they are a bit long) and I hope the remaining three are as awesome as the surrounding fandom suggests. :)
Unfortunately, during my revision seclusion, I didn't keep totally undistracted... My friends and I ended up having a bit of a debate on facebook over whether Lego or K'nex is better, stemming from a post about a lego TARDIS. Me being the massive Whovian that I am, decided to "waste" my revision time making a TARDIS out of each using the K'nex and Lego collections we still have around the house and I concluded that Lego is most definitely the winner. (Although my K'nex people make a much better 11th Doctor/Rory/Amy...)
Talking of Doctor Who... Melody Pond... River Song... WHY?!?!?! Ok, I'll expand on that in another blog.. for now, I bid you farewell and I shall blog to you soon.
DFTBA
Two truths, one lie:
1. I have a toy sheep called Wooly that my friend gave me as a belated birthday present around a year ago.
2. I once won a "name the toy" competition. It was run by the school's French department so I called it a Spanish name... naturally. (Juan if you're curious)
3. The only cuddly toy that I bought for myself has a bell in it. I'm pretty sure every other toy was given to me.
And the answer to last time? Worryingly enough, not 1 but number 3. It wasn't me who dressed up as Pippi Longstocking but my friend who went on to win a prize for her costume. One year I dressed up as a Cuckoo from an obscure book and the other as Mandy Hope from the Animal Ark books I was obsessed with.
well, first off, congratulations on finishing!
ReplyDeletere: not knowing what to do first, you could always try listing everything alphabetically and then working from 'aardvark' downwards.
re: Star Wars, I'm very glad to hear you've got round to watching them 8] in terms of how the older films compare to the prequels, you could sum it up like so: prequels = better effects, originals = better scripts. if you liked I-III, then you'll probably like IV-VI too. if you think the Star Wars films are long, though, you should try the Lord of the Rings - they clock up 3 to 4 hours each!
the giant knex tardis is impressive, but i still think lego is the better toy/system/whatever.
re: melody pond, i think there should be a rule banning the current showrunner from writing the seventh episode of any series of DW, because it's only happened twice (The Long Game and AGMGTW), and both episodes have suffered from serious script problems.
i'm not sure about the truth-and-lies thing; i'm torn between 1 and 3. but on a related note, please please please don't tell us any more truths that involve... um... yellow liquid :P
and finally: neither of us has blogged very much since completing "First 11 for 11". i suspect it might be challenge time again... what say you?

ReplyDeleteI concur with Matt, another challenge must occur! I'm going to go with 3 for the TTOL, it seems the most implausible to me, although I don't have particular knowledge of your cuddly toy collection.... You do seem to be fond of Spanish though, so its only going to be 1 or 3 :)
ReplyDeleteWhat did Josh say? You have me interested in what was removed.
ReplyDeleteYou have only just seen Star Wars, You have only just seen Star Wars. I thought you were a Science Fiction Fan. I understand that you may not have seen any Japanese Godzilla Films but you have only recently seen Star Wars.
ReplyDeleteNext you will be telling me that you have not seen Jurassic Park.
I SOOOO WIN!!
