Movies, Teaching Drawing and Dreaming
Blog post from SoclogBad Teacher
Extremely stupid movie. I was just getting frustrated over how selfish people can be sometimes. Sure, the movie had it's pretty funny moments... Some of them were just so dumb they were funny though, and if that's good or not, I don't know. And yeah, Cameron Diaz pretty darn hot in this movie, as usual. (how old is she getting anyways?) But boy can she play a really good bitch! Sick.
Speaking of movies, a movie you just gotta see is It's Kind of a Funny Story. It's awesome. The cutest movie that just puts life into perspective, telling a story about this boy growing up, maturing. It's really great! I totally ordered the book, so I can read it too. Haha. That's how good I thought the movie was.
So today I worked right? I was teaching this drawing class how to draw manga at this library in Lycksele. Yeah, it wasn't really like a class class, it was more like an open house, and people who were interested came in. So there was people coming and going now and then. It was cool. Teaching is great, and I forgot how much fun it is to teach kids how to draw!
And the people that hired me for this were so nice about it too! Man, they sure know how to make someone feel appreciated! They gave me a rose, a book and a candle holder thingy (that probably wasn't way cheap) PLUS money for the fuel and money for the hours I worked there. They were ready to pay for food and for a hotel room in case I didn't want to drive home that late and all. It was awesome! Man, I've been hauling in the cash lately. What up? I think it's God.
Funny thing: we were sitting and eating, and I mentioned how cool it was that they payed in cash (how often does that happen in Sweden anyways?) and my sister exclaims Now Miranda has like 890 kr in her wallet! That's not exactly the amount, I don't really remember right now, but something like that. Anyways, I was like, you counted the money in my wallet...? And she's like, Yeah, it was so fat I had to check. Lol. Funny girl. Who does stuff like that?
After a while I started doing these portraits of kids, it was fun. I had this huge line of kids that wanted their portrait done Manga style. But after a while this little girl walks up to me and hands me this portrait of me that she had done. It was the cutest thing ever! Totally made my day, haha.
Hey, back to the movie talk. Moulin Rouge. Right? I love that movie, not just because it's a beautifully tragic love story that just gets your hopes up and crushes your heart and everything in an absolutely astonishing way... It's a musical too! What I am getting to is Your Song. Beautiful song. Seriously, if a man wrote me a song like this for me, I would probably marry the guy. (that's not the main requirement, but definitely a major bonus) but yeah, gorgeous song, so I thought I would share it.

My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It maybe quite simple
But now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well some of the verses well
They got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on
So excuse me for forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
Well, I think that's all I have to share for now... It's getting late, as usual. But hey, I got no school and I don't start working until like 6 pm tomorrow, so it's cool.
I still need to try to get me some more sleep...
Soon enough.
You have a good one!
