So..

2010 has come and gone now. I can honestly say that it was one of the best year in my life. Sure, it had it's load of bad stuff but I retrospective it was pretty good overall. I can only hope for 2011 to be even better!

Anyway, I didn't do anything special on New Year's Eve. I watched a movie named Mein Name ist Bach, which is obviously a movie about the compositor Johann Sebastian Bach and, guess who? Frederick II of Prussia! Hehehe. It was pretty good, my mom loved it. I loved it too, I mean, a movie with der alter Fritz! Of course I have to love it. Even though Fritz was kinda portrayed as the ''bad guy''. While I'm sure Fritz was rather autoritarian, I believe he never was as mean and egoistic as he was in this movie. But yeah, that's just me, you know I like him a lot so obviously I don't think he's cruel or anything.

So yeah, on the first I saw my family and it was nice, there were some people I hadn't talked to in a long time and I kinda missed them. I dressed really aristocratic, with my pocket watch and all, it was awesome. That night I watched Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain with my cousin. I realized that when I saw that movie has a kid, I never fully understood it .. now I think I do. It's really good in any case. I love how it manages to be a love movie without being completely cheesy, it's a nice change.

Anyway, yesterday I saw yet another movie, this time in theatres with one of my friend. We went to see Tangled, Raiponce in french [what an ugly name, I prefer Rapunzel ..]. It was much better than I expected! Maybe it's just me but I think it has the overall ''feel'' of older disney movies [like snow white or cinderella]. Even the animation is similar, it's the same style of drawing, but in 3D. There's even songs! Yeah, a classic Disney movie, I recommend it, it's really good.

Before that though, I went shopping with my parents and we went to Fabricville to buy, well, fabrics. And patterns. I bought a pattern for 3 lolita-ish skirts. They're a bit too short to be truly lolita but otherwise they have the right shape and all! It's apparently easy too. Also, I saw a pattern for historical 18th century clothes, and it really looks like the prussian uniform if we changed the colors! Since it was at halfprice I also bought it. I definitely want to do a Prussia cosplay now. The difficulty is average so I'll wait a bit though. But it's cool, the pattern includes everything, the tricorne hat, the jacket, the shirt, the vest and the pants. Oh yeah, the uniform I'm talking about is pretty much this one :

I'll need to change the jacket a bit and make the white thingy from scratch, aswell as the jabot but otherwise I've got everything. Also I want to make that decoration thing he has, and GILBIRD. WITH A TRICORNE HAT. OH YEAH. Can't be a Prussia without a chick~

I'm really motivated right now, if you can't guess XD This entry is getting long so I'll stop it there. I should make a new design for this blog .. anyway.

Harry Potter?

Damn right, Harry Potter. I went to see it yesterday with friends from school.

So, my last class of the day was history of science .. It was, well, boring. We had a mini test like always, but I hadn't had the time to read the text it was about so my answers to the three questions went like this :
1. Frederick II of Prussia
2. Otto von Bismarck
3. Darwin proved that the Prussians were indeed a superior race.

[I received today a message from the teacher, asking me : Is Prussia your favourite subject? Haha, damn right it is.]

So yeah, afterwards we had to wait for the others, since they had a class until 4:30 and we had finished at 2:30. It was long, and I was hungry, but then eventually arrived and we went ONWARD! TO THE RESTAURANT! Like awesome prussian warriors, lol.

Anyway, fast fowarding .. At the movie theatre we had to wait outside, even though we had bought our tickets beforehand :\ That kinda sucked. Me and one of my friends kinda stood out, since we had decided to dress like victorian aristocrats xD Some people seemed kinda scared lolwtf Maybe because I was wearing my mini tophat that sits on my head magically.

So yeah, after waiting and having bought important supplies like Skittles and M&M, we took seat in the theather, and the movie began.

REVIEW TIME!

Is what I'd like to say, but .. First of all, I don't really want to spoil anything, go watch it and make your own impressions. But mostly it's because I'm still unsure about whether I liked it or not. And also because I had to go see it in french and UUHH the dub it's so horrible. But yeah, what I can say is that, most of it is pretty similar to the book, they did a good job with that. Also, the part when they infiltrate the ministry is hilarious XD However, there was a lot of rather long and boring parts .. I know the book is a bit like that too, but it doesn't work as well in a movie I guess. Oh yeah, and there is a soft-porn-ish scene with Harry and Hermione. It was weird, to say the least.

So yeah, I still recommend you all to go and see the movie! Some people really disliked it, and some others really liked it, so I guess it really depends. Go and make your own opinion.

So now, enough talk about Harry Potter, and more talk about Prussia. I know I seem kind of obssessed right now .. and I am! Honestly, I first started to like Prussia because I liked the Hetalia character, but now .. I really like Prussia for what it is. And Frederick the Great is really awesome. I wish the politicians right now were more like him.

ANYWAY I'll post his before my internet dies again.

I hate today.

During the week-ends, I like to relax, to have time to do my homeworks, and also to play some games and to do nothing intelligent on the internet. Especially since I have a killer week coming.

But of course, my mom decided to invite over a bunch of people tonight. So, since it's soooo fucking important [no], we have to clean every goddamn place in the house, and she has to keep bugging me to do this and that. Okay fine, I've got nothing against helping people, I just don't like being ordered around when I don't even want to see these people in the first place. I'm not the one who invited them. I don't care if the house is messy or not.

So, yeah. I can't wait to go to Montréal now .. I can't stand my mom for long periods of time now. She's just so bossy and stressed during the weekends, when I just want to relax [but of course, I don't work and I only go to school so I already have plenty of time to relax .. nevermind the fact that I'm in the program with the most work in college :\]

I know I ALWAYS complain about this .. I'm sorry.

On another note, I decided to download Preussens Gloria, the prussian military march XD It's absolutely awesome of course. I also wanted the unofficial prussian anthem, Preussenlieb, but I can't find a good quality mp3/video on youtube. It sucks, but it's understandable since, you know, prussia doesn't exist anymore it's too awesome to be recorded properly.

Talking about Prussia, at school I'm starting to endoctrinate people about how Prussia is awesome xD It's cool cause now I have an ally .. that is a Wilhem II fanboy [Wilhem II is prussian if you didn't know]. Actually I think I already talked about that guy, he dressed as Wilhem II for our Halloween party. But yeah, soon everyone shall know about the gloriousness of Prussia!

Also, another one of my friend talked about a LARP [live-action role-play, GN in french] taking place in like .. the 18th century. I SO WANT TO GO AND HAVE A PRUSSIAN ARMY FFFFF. So yeah maybemaybemaybe we'll go. If we can get a decent amount of people with us we're gonna kick everyone's ass with our prussian awesomeness. The thing is, first we need costumes .. and we need arms. Not so complicated when talking about a normal LARP, swords and such aren't too hard to make. But in this particular one we need firearms [fake ones mind you XD] and these are a bit thougher to make. I'd also want a saber or rapier too.

Anyway .. I'm off doing boring chores .. Wish me luck.
