Alice's Emotion

"Google it. I dare you."

Summary of the day.
Movie - Awesome/Excellent ++
Lunch - Mediocre. The horrible pizza was balanced by the good pasta, and the bad service/organization was...bad. But it was ok. I can wait. Sometimes.
Gelato - A tad on the expensive side, but ok. Vanilla gelato tastes weird, or maybe it's just how they made it. My tongue still hurts. Too much sugar =/

I cried twice during it, because well. Because it's just so good. I don't care about who's acting, or who's doing the writing and all that. Also because I have a knack for having a rather vivid imagination of worst case scenarios, which extends to everything, but usually to tools. Hence, I don't like using the bandsaw, and never did.

It still stands that the film is good, if you suspend any disbelief. I didn't like the attempt at humor with the park and Jason, but everything else was excellent.

Favourite part is either the accusation of the intentional deletion of the video, or the supermarket scene.

"You're not a mother, are you? I thought not."

"Oh, so it's MY FAULT NOW?!"

It's just...I liked the parts where you can see how they have a smooth composure, and then it breaks into anger. Like the phone conversation about the birthday cake.

Anyway, enough of that. Time to incorporate something of it into my writing.

ToDo:
Physics (Finished! 5:53. Time for MSN + Creative Writing! Yay!)
English Creative Writing

Everything else takes a backseat until those two are completely and finally done. Which will be Tuesday.

FLASH OF INSPIRATION!
Ok, ok. You know the quote about suicide I had a while back. That's going to start my story! WIN.

Ok, gutting story, changing it slightly, but still keeping the same characters. Should work.

Needs less speed. Slow, slow...SLOW!

Also, I think I'm using this whole thing as a pretext to talk to people I haven't in years. So much the better for me, then, I suppose.

Draft 5, down to two characters. Seems much more manageable. Maybe I can cut it down to one. We'll have to see. It feels like "Ten Little Indians"...And then there were none... U.F.Owen style.

Draft 6, cutting it down to one character. I'm so radical, huh? Nah. There was only one character in my year 9 one.

Looks like Draft 7 tomorrow, when I wake up. Maybe not. Swimming, bleh. However, it's back to linear, therefore, I must change it again. Structure, structure, structure....

Hoping I haven't forgotten something important.

There are so many ideas and stories that can come out of the film. I wonder if anyone else will have the same storyline.

Perhaps. Doubtful though.
