Dionysus



Dionysus, son of Zues, god of wine and vine. Yes, I'm bored....like very bored. So little known fact #67 about me: much like comic book heros, I'm obsessed with Greek mythology. I've got dozens of books on it and have constructed a formidable family tree. So tonight I was flipping through one of my books tonight and ended up readin' about the wine guy. After reading for awhile I realize that my creative juices are flowing and that my boredom was finally starting to fade with my ideas. So what might you ask did my creativity come up with??This...

Memory Lane

My night was spent doing what every senior should do at least once during their summer before their first year of college: looking back.......okay so maybe I didn't do my walk down memory lane quite as poeticly as that but it was awesome. I spent my night making lanyards with Emily, Playing N64(Smash Bros, Harvest Moon, SuperMario 64) with my boys(Daniel, Chad, Jeff and Nate)and watching Adventures in Babysitting with my little group. It was soo much fun to look back on things that were once such a big part of my life and see how far I've come since then.

Xmen movie review!!

So for my first movie this summer, X-men: First Class did not disappoint. Of course there were some small snags along the way. The director of the first 2 movies came back as a producer which helped considering that when he left the series went down hill (excluding Origins, which I haven't seen yet). The writers were a mash up of previous writers from the series and writers from Thor. This would seemingly be a great mix but there were points when the dialogue was choppy and campy at points. The action was well thought out and exciting. Castings....decent, though I'll never get past a Professor X with a full head of hair. Over all I'd say it was great and definately worth the watch. :) Also best cameo ever by Hugh Jackman(sexy man) :)

XMEN!!!!!!

Ok, so tomorrow night, I'm going to the midnight premier of the new x-men movie, and I'm super pumped since I love this comic series and have seen all the other movies and equally loved them. So naturally I have to do something special for it. I knew that one of my favorite characters, Mystique, would be in it, so I figured why not come up with a make-up look inspired by her to wear to the theater. So this is what I came up with.


I love it personally. Im going with a group of friends, so idk what lyssa and jeff will think. I know Daniel and Chad will love (Daniel because I did it, Chad because he's as crazy a fan as I am of these films.)

Getting into summer

So summer has started going and I'm seriously into the flow. My days are filling up with plans, starting with:



  • cookouts

  • swimming outings

  • midnight movies

  • days at Adventureland

  • trips around Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.

  • concerts

  • much more :)

Thursday is the start of all these plans, starting with a friend's grad party, going to the X-men: First Class midnight premier, and ending with 3AM pancakes. Sounding pretty good to me. Not that all the plans take away from plain old relaxing time. Heck, despite 2 cookouts, a visit with my grandparents and a couple parties, I've still been able read 4 books cover to cover in the past 3 days. It's gonna be a good summer from what I can tell :D

Late Nights and future plans!!!

Ok, so today I was pretty exhausted. I fell asleep at 5 and woke up at 9, didn't even wake up for supper. Now that I am awake, I can't get back to sleep. So what do I do?? Surf the internet, of course. In my random search of the web, I came upon a trailer for the Green Lantern movie. Now, I love comic books, I know a lot about the random facts of said comic books characters too. Normally, I'm more of a Marvel then a DC girl, but there are times when I lift that, this being one of them. And that's because it looke like they're largely sticking to the correct story line!!! I mean Ryan Reynolds, no offense but maybe not the best pick for Hal Jordan but as long as the story line is right I don't care who they cast. After watching the trailer and being extremely bored I made 2 decisions: 1. I was going to see the movie when it came out(result of trailer), and 2. I was going to make a makeup look based off of the Green Lantern to wear to the movie when I go(result of boredom) . So this is what you get.



So moral of the story: this is a great boredom buster!! So maybe anytime I find a movie I wanna see, I'll create a look for it, prolly not but still. And no this isn't interchangable with the Incredible Hulk, cuz that would require purple along with the green.

Graduated

High school is over!! Its was good-but-bad-but-okay. I'll somethings (marching band, Burns' room, A day lunch with Ervin, etc) but there's alot I won't miss. But now I get to move forward with my summer. I'll be helping at a downtown elementary til June 10th (good work exp.) and then its Living History Farms, and summer job til August and then you know where to!!!!
