It's been AGES since I've posted on here, and quite frankly I forgot I even had a blog! My apologies. I've also been horrendously busy (although that has nothing to do with the title of this post). One excuse I'm going to use right now is that my computer is broken. Yes, I do have access to other computers, much like the one I'm using now. But usually when I joyously connect to the internet elsewhere, I tackle the things of highest priority. (Clearly I'm talking about facebook, youtube, and googling random things.) I also realize that my computer has been broken for a month now and I have yet to get it fixed. But, in my defense, I'm horrendously busy. Also lazy. But mostly busy. Those are my other 2 excuses: busy-ness (I almost said business! ha) and laziness. This upcoming week is going to be another sleepless death week, but I promise to try really hard to update on things of importance at the end of the week. I promise to at least not forget that I have a blog. Right now I will not be updating on things of importance; rather, I'm going to update on a topic of little relevance to anything at all. But soon you will see posts such as "NZ Road Trip," "Why Am I Doing Science," "I May One Day Put My Masters Degree To Good Use As A White Water Tour Guide," and "Thank God You Need Absolutely No Experience To Teach At The University Level." Just a little teaser for everyone.
Anyways! On to the main event: HORROR. As I mentioned before, my flatmates and I are planning to take serious advantage of our backyard jungle, our excessively large knife collection, and our creaky house by creating a horror film. We got down to serious business last week concocting plots. (Well, Tim and I were trying to think of plots. Manu was just coming up with exciting scenes in which characters get slain- and by characters, I mean me. It's always the women that die first, isn't it?? It's because there's a light on in the bathroom or their bedroom door is cracked open or the floor creaks and some half-witted girl stomps over to the creaky dark corner of the house and screams, "Hello? HELLO?! Is anyone there?? I'm a sitting duck. Please kill me now.") But I digress. So we were attempting to come up with storylines and/or extraordinary death scenes. We had just watched the Blair Witch Project, and our jungle could possibly appear to be as creepy and endless as those woods. We also came up with an idea where at the end, it turns out we were all actually dead the whole time (à la Sixth Sense). Of course we then branched out onto other M. Night Shyamalan ideas, but obviously all his other movies aren't even remotely good. So in order to have a crazy twist in the movie BUT still keep it action-packed and relatively exciting, we came up with the most amazing idea anyone has ever had: a combination of M. Night & Michael Bay. Can anyone top this?? I think not. I'm sure the producers of South Park, among others, will be amazed and proud. Which reminds me- we're also hiring Trey Parker to create the soundtrack.
