Real Life: Vacation update

GRAND FORKS, ND IS SURPRISINGLY COOL AND SHINY <3 BEATE IS FANTASTIC GOOD PEOPLE AND I AM MEETING SOME WONDERFUL FOLKS. AND EVERYBODY HERE IS SO GODDAMNED NICE. NO, REALLY. I THINK LIVING IN THE MIDWEST HAS GIVEN ME THIS EXPECTATION THAT OTHER AMERICANS ARE MOSTLY CLOSED-OFF, DISINTERESTED PEOPLE, BUT NORTH DAKOTANS HAVE PROVED ME WRONG. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT, NORTH DAKOTA!!!!

(a lot of people also sound like the mom from Bobby's World. It's hard not to laugh.)

AND THE GUYS. WITH LONG HAIR. THEY ALL TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF IT ;A; SERIOUSLY, THEIR HAIR IS PRETTY AND HEALTHY LOOKING. NO SPLIT ENDS OR DRYNESS.

Home tomorrow. Amazing homemade spaghetti and happyfunwritingtiems with Bea-chan tonight <3

ALSO. THE RIVER. IS RISING. SO THEY HAD TO CLOSE TWO BRIDGES OUT HERE. I WILL POST PICS SOME TIME SO YOU CAN ALL SEE THIS AMAZING SHIT.

ps: I has crack art to post too, including a SPN one in which Dean is a wolf, Cas is a bunny, and Heaven wants Dean to deliver Easter baskets. I think it will be my Easter picture this year.

Real Life: End of Vacation, waiting for plane

I've hit the end of my vacation. All that's left to do is fly home now.

Beatrisu was very shiny and cute and shiny *_* I'm still completely ~*~DAZZLED~*~ by her and her peoples and most of Grand Forks, North Dakota. We had a blast together (at least, I'd like to think we did, though in reality, I was probably a bit boring) - we wrote together, drew crack, I showed her some tricks with Photoshop (sorta), and she did drag queen makeup on me (which consisted of lots of eyeshadow and some tricks with blush to make me look more masculine). We watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which was interesting and had great music. I don't know how I feel about it as a transgendered movie, but as a gay film, it was good. I want the soundtrack.

We also saw Alice in Wonderland. As a Tim Burton movie, it was okay (not his best, but certainly not his worst). As a loose adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, it was different and fresh. I actually enjoyed Alice as a young, rebellious Victorian woman more than I ever enjoyed her as a child navigating her way through a foreign land while brashly imposing her views on others (sorry, guys, that paper I did on Alice in Wonderland as a British Imperialist text stuck with me. I can't watch any version of Alice anymore without examining it from a post-colonial standpoint). Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter was....alright. He's played better characters, but this one felt like tired attempt at maintaining his reputation as a character actor. I loved the Cheshire Cat the most. Stephen Fry was delightfully sly and catty. His voice is pure, homoerotic sex. If I were a guy, I'd have the biggest man crush on him now. As it is, I'm a girl and I have a girl crush.

Stephen Fry, you're sexy like a rock star.

I also enjoyed Anne Hathaway, though her prancing became old after a while. I loved how she was both innocent and dark.

Overall....( SPOOOOOILERS )

Anyhow, I will be back in Indiana later this afternoon/evening. There will be a picspam post and artspam as well when I feel up for uploading everything.
