Oh noes. I'm hooked on Getbackers.
Not a good sign… but they’re really good!
Amano Ginji and Midou Ban! Yay! I like them… especially Ban, especially after I saw this really nice cosplay of Ban. The guy really looked like him! Ah hahaha.
Now I’m here to blog about several things(as I laugh at Adeline for not blogging –ah hahahahaha):
1. OP Presentation
2. Wax lyrical about Midou Ban
3. Edit The Covenant post. It’s got some typoes in it. This probably shows how angry I was at watching that crappy movie.
4. Talk about going to Orchard with 1 Aggie, 3 Choir Gays, and a Rainy Day
5. I can’t remember…

So, Part I:

OP IS OVER YAY

It was quite okay; I completely blanked out during my presentation and just recited everything from memory at an inhumane speed.
The most amazing thing was that I didn’t even refer to my notes! Haha. I just started speaking and everything just came out so quickly! I think my classmates are in shock now. I screwed the Q and A part up but I can’t really remember the question now so it doesn’t really matter.
Thing is, it’s over!
[Now I shall watch Getbackers Episode 5, well after Kiseki by Tackey and Tsubasa ends, which is soon. Hmmmm.]

Part II:
And now I have watched Getbackers until episode 7! I feel accomplished.
I like Midou Ban!
He looks like Dark Mousy in glasses. And he has FANTASTIC EYES. I love his eyes.
I saw this cosplay of him, and fell in love with it. Man! Midou is quite an okay character to cosplay, have the build and look can already, just spike the long hair up, take some purple glasses, a white shirt and look arrogant. Pretend to smoke. Done! And the cosplay really looks like him, unlike cosplays of say… Ishida. He has a unique hairstyle. Or Hitsugaya. Shudders. The hair. Hmm but they only captured his upper half. Maybe his bottom half wasn’t so nice. I should think his long shirt is quite hard to copy…
[Zomg. I feel like an otaku. Let me rant here for a while okay?]

Reasons why I like Midou Ban:
1. He has cool glasses. I am currently in a glass-character phase, especially with Kyouya, Ishida and Satoshi around.
2. He has nice spiky hair. I like his hair. It reminds me of Dark Mousy.
3. He’s known as a Snake! Ah hahaha. Natural affinity, like Ayame!
4. His attitude and character, he’s actually quite fluffy underneath his mean, cocky, perverted, calculative face.
5. He has this very amusing chibi form. It isn’t completely chibi, it’s only snake eyes and an occasional dotty look as Ban-chan is a serious character.
6. His shirt. I like his shirt. It’s white, long and flowy. Period. Talking about long and flowy, I saw this WONDERFUL LONG SLEEVED BLACK SHIRT some secondary school guy wore to church on Saturday. It is GORGEOUS. I wants it. XL says I should get it for the guy I like. Hmmmmmmm.
7. His Evil Eye ability! It’s damn cool, the way his pupils become slits when he uses his power and the person falls into a hallucination for one minute. Every time the illusion ends, he’ll say, ‘Just one minute’ and laugh evilly. The way he uses it shows great intelligence as well; he seems to be able to predict his opponent’s thoughts and show them what they want to see.
8. The fact that he’s called Ban, for barbaric. Ban!
9. Ginji calls him Ban-chan! Which is vastly amusing. Ban-chan! And he doesn’t mind!
10. The way he shamelessly fights for food with Ginji.
11. The way he drives their poor car so recklessly. He has great faith in his driving skills though. Ginji doesn’t really comment on it.
12. How he has the tendency to not see parking lots and invent parking lots of his own. Ginji comments a lot on this; all the money they earn is lost on parking tickets.
13. His Snake Grip. It’s super cool as well. 200 kg with each grip! And he has the Snake Bite attack (more lethal? Dunno), both of which are powerful enough to snap backbones and break chains.
14. His interesting relationship with Himiko. Very, very interesting… [author eyes’ glint]
15. His brain. He’s this damn intelligent guy who basically plots out the Getbackers’ schemes. Still, Heavn (their agent) thinks that there’s something wrong with their strategies as they consist of things like: Okay so the strategy is that is I use my Evil Eye and you grab the stuff! And Ginji cheers happily.
16. HE PLAYS THE VIOLIN. Nuff said.
17. The way he pushes his glasses up, just like Kyouya, Satoshi and Ishida!
18. His smile. It’s enough.
19. [Zomg I am running out of things] His speed. He’s very fast, which is why his Snake Bites are very effective.
20. His pretty, pretty BLUE EYES. They’re as blue as the sky! Very nice.
21. Now I have too many - he simpers up to rich people. I know it isn’t exactly nice but he’s just so serious and arrogant all the time then some rich customer comes and he’s vaguely chibi-esque which is very funny.

Part III:
I finished checking for typos. There was only one! I feel happy.

Part IV:
Ah I am in a random mood. So I shall blog about going to Orchard with the Choir People. Aggie, be honoured! You’re mentioned here! Together with Guo Wei, Zheng Kai and Qingwen… all gays.
Everyone says I blog long posts. So I shall FULFILL that wish! If you don’t read then it’s your loss, not mine.
So anyway, it was a Thursday. It was the day before our Oral Presentation on Friday. It was around noon, when Aggie, I, Boon Siong and Wei Xun were concluding a PW meeting when Aggie got a phone call.
‘Hello?’
‘…’
‘You buggers!’
Ekcetra. And something along that line. Apparently, Guo Wei and Zheng Kai had traipsed off to Orchard that day to buy a birthday present for some person in choir… then they had gotten lost.
Before any of you laugh, I get lost too at Orchard as well, but I don’t go to the Singapore Visitors’ Centre, which is just strange. Which was what they did. They had walked over in the rain and were poking around for brochures on Orchard road but found none. Hence they called Aggie, their all-knowing Grand Mother to please, please, please come and save us. As in, she isn’t a granny, she’s just a mother-esque figure, and she’s grand.
So. Aggie was laughing at their plight while I was looking on in a vaguely amused manner before she filled me in. And as I knew Geo Wei from my first three months class, she handed me the phone to talk (entertain) Guo Wei while she packed her bag. As for Zheng Kai, he just knew me due to the numerous times I have been next to Aggie when she talks to her choir members and also how crazy I am. Damn I’m good.
Apparently, the duo had seen Fiona Xie at Orchard and was admiring her… assets. Guo Wei said this in a particularly loud manner as he was talking to me. I was laughing my head off and countering that I had seen Joanne Peh when he said:
‘Joanne Peh is hot okay. And I lost Zheng Kai. He just walked ahead in front of me and disappeared!’
I kept laughing.
‘Zheng Kai! How can you be so cruel as to leave me behind all alone!’
I assumed Zheng Kai gave him a non committal reply.
So then Aggie took back her phone and laughed at them again, and asked if I could come along for lunch.
Aggie was all okay and complained that they kept bullying her and such thus! I as her Darlingx ought to go and stop them from doing so!
So I accompanied her to Orchard. We found the guys at Takashimaya.
Oh noes. I am quickly losing interest in this blog.
Anyway I shall just move on to the funny parts.
The thing about going out with Choir Gays, is the entertainment value. We walked around shopping centres, they made comments about Aggie wearing certain types of clothes, complained about foreign currency debts, argued with each other over presents and something about living in their own world in Muji. There was this Disney themed shopping area at the basement, so we walked around a bit before the guys came and basically waxed lyrical about Disney and their costumes, oversized dolls and overkill bottles.
Then we met the guys and had lunch where it was one amusing incident after another, something about conductors and certain songs, and a terrible Christmas carol.
Silver bells…
Qing Wen appeared from NO WHERE. At least I think he did.
Zhengkai revealed why he daoed Guo Wei just now! He said something about Guo Wei’s comment on Fiona Xie had been exceptionally loud, hence he walked faster and further away, as people were staring at Guo Wei. Guo wei looked very small after that comment. We had the omelette egg rice thing, which was very nice!
Should eat there again. Aggie and I went to buy first and when we were bringing back our trays, Guo Wei was like: You can bring this back?
Aggie and I: Yarhh.
Guo Wei: Hey I never knew that! I thought you had to eat there or they didn’t allow you or something.
In the end, they brought the same things as us.
After lunch, I wasn’t exactly sure of the general group’s main idea so I just tagged along and laughed. Apparently their job had been done but no one wanted to go back. So we walked to Cineleisure, when it was vaguely drizzling.
Aggie took out her umbrella with a flourish and sheltered me while the guys ran, with Guo Wei walking smugly under his own umbrella.
And this, this was the beginning of everything.
We walked a lot, walking into Cineleisure and figuring out what we were supposed to do before actually realizing that we didn’t want to go to Cineleisure in the first place as everyone was under the mistaken impression that everyone else wanted to watch a movie.
We were asking the guys who could be so relaxed when okay, one of them had their OP already, the other was having it on Monday, and the last one was… uhh… Qing Wen. I don’t know.
So we were sort of arguing about where we were supposed to go as Aggie and I wanted to go home already while the rest wanted to go to Plaza Singapore for some obscure reason. We were mock arguing as Aggie and Guo Wei were the only people with the umbrellas and if Aggie left, the group of three guys would only be left with one umbrella, with Guo Wei under it. So faced with such a terrible prospect, they were sort of asking us to come along. It ended on a ringing note or a climatic ending before Guo Wei just shrugged and walked off, and I believe that he was humming.
Agnessa: What an anti-climax, man.
In the end, they decided to walk with us to Somerset and take the train to Dhoby Ghaut to Plaza Singapore.
It was then, the skies decided that hey, since we’re already raining, let’s just heck with it and rain ALL THE MORE HARDER!
So we were stuck, two girls and three gays under two umbrellas.
Naturally, Aggie and I took her umbrella and refused to let anyone go between us Darlingx.
We were vastly entertained by the trio behind us, who fought, scuffled, screeched and generally made a lot of noise in the rain, like:
‘My shirt is getting wet!’
‘Move! I have no space!’
‘Oh my god I’m going transparent!’
‘Melting! Melting!’ Okay I added that.
Then Zheng Kai gave up and made a break for it, running towards Somerset in his white choir tee-shirt. Ironically he was the one who said that he was going transparent.
Eventually we made it to Somerset, wet and vaguely annoyed, as Guo Wei had the brilliant idea to sing ‘Silver Bells’ in the rain while we were walking behind him.
We made it a point to walk faster.
‘Hey why are they walking so fast?’
Making it to Somerset, we happily and gratefully separated while laughing hard at Zheng Kai’s situation. Oh that poor guy. He was soaked to the bone, looking vaguely irritated and forlorn at our laughter.
Hmmm overall, it was a rather amusing experience for me, and I have a good feeling that Aggie would actually read this post to this point, as it has something to do with her, that narcissist woman.
So, HAH to you for reading!

Hmmm I wasn’t really in a good mood today (again) so I shall just post this little thing for everyone, especially someone who I won’t mention as I don’t know who that person is, to see.

‘Look, you COMPLETE LOSER. Quit COPYING me and us. Tell us who you bloody damn well are, and STOP impersonating us. Stop this stupid behaviour on everyone’s tagboards, especially Aggie’s, Esme’s and Agapera. You made a BLOODY BIG mistake in copying me, as 1. You aren’t the original norbert and can never BE the original norbert, and 2. I speak better English than you. Hah. So just stop your stupid game already, because no one’s laughing. Especially me. And when I’m not laughing, it means I’m angry. And when I’m angry, I will hunt you down.’

Now that that’s out of my system…

Things to do during the holidays that are non-academic:
1. Wake up after 10am at least once. I am a deprived child.
2. Write the 3rd draft of ‘Solely Sympathy/Sympathy for the Devil/S’only Sympathy’ and post it on fanfiction.net
3. Watch Fullmetal Alchemist, starting from episode 33 as I don’t know where Channel U is already.
4. Watch the FMA movie.
5. Finish up ‘The Keeper’s 4th chapter.
6. Get the songs I’m looking for.
7. Hunt down and do something really nasty to the impersonator.
8. Sleep at least 16 hours a day.
9. Spend a few nights away from the computer.
10. Go out with Liew, XL and Adeline and smash a few courts of badminton or table tennis or whatever.

Now I feel much more better. Ah… yes life is good. Now it’s Inuyasha and Getbackers! Yay!
[Gawd I must be mad. I get so angry then so happy all in one post and less than one page.]

Thursday, November 16, 2006

Okay, I have another post up to do but since Liew has done the MEME and I promised that I’ll give the results after Liew has done it… I’ve decided to give the results first, then bore you with my Midou Ban Talk.
I like Ban.
Okay….
Moving on.

THE DREADED MEME RESULTS:
Frankly, was quite amused by the results. A little disappointed but is okay, as I’m generally the one listening instead of talking when it comes to this kind of thing. Ah wells. I don’t place much importance on this anyway… unlike some stupid Princess.
Anyway.

And now my MEME!

The answers are: 2, 3, 9, 16, 18.

Truths are italicised. Fakes are bolded.

1. I have never kept long hair before. (Well aside from now that is.)
This is true. Figures right. I can’t remember my hairstyle as a kid but I’m certain I’ve never had long hair before. Oh hohoho. And I’m going to chop off my strands soon, so appreciate them while they’re still there.
2. I like Lady’s Finger.
I hate it. Period. Like ewww. Slimy stuff. Hate, hate hate.
3. My name, Nellyn was a mistake.
This was actually a modification. I was supposed to be called Nelson, should I have been a boy. But I’m not. So there.
4. When I went to Cairns, all I got was some pictures and a wart on my foot.
True. I hate that evil person who swam in the pool with me and passed it to me. This was mentioned on my blog anyway. Kingshaw, anyone?
5. I think black cats are good luck.
The love them buggers. And the Swedish believe it too! They think white cats are evil.
6. I once acted as some nymph for my kindergarten school play.
And I have the pictures to prove it. Hell no, I’m not sending them to anyone. I lost them. Most happily.
7. I started wearing glasses in Primary Four.
My parents were shocked.
8. When I was small, I once got lost at Genting Highlands and very intelligently made my way back to our hotel room and waited for my parents outside the room door.
I still remember walking towards the lift, calmly pressing the floor and walking towards the room. The carpet was maroon in colour and that the hallway was long and yellow and immensely boring. I spent the time doodling on the carpet and sitting around. I walked around too, until they finally came back and found me there. Ah hahaha.
9. My first anime crush was Dark Mousy, from D. N. Angel.
It’s NOT. Hahahaha. He might be one of the oldest ones, and the most active, but he’s NOT THE FIRST ONE. Hahaha. It’s Shigure Souma from Fruits Basket. He beat Dark by a few months. Or just over a year. I know I watched Fruits Basket before D. N. Angel, as I was thinking that Dark sounded like Ayame before discovering that Shigure and him share the same seiyuu (voice actor)! Sesshoumaru came a bit later. Or around the same time. But Shigure was the first.
10. I am a hopeless romantic and cry at sad movies.
I cried at Black Beauty, I cried when I watched Big Fish, I laughed through Titanic and cried when I watched some other random movie. I can’t remember. I’ve cried at so many movies. And I want the Big Fish OST. Liew. I cry at sad movies. Okay.
11. I started listening to radio when I was Primary Five, and even then, I fell asleep when listening.
I did. I remember my dad waking me up at around 11pm sleeping in front of the radio. Later when I got a smaller radio, I’d listen to it until around midnight, before Singing Stars with Baby Kevin and Jeremy came on. Thus I missed the baby A1 interview! Sadness.
12. I never watched Sesame Street when I was young.
Everyone doubted this but this is true. I never watched them evil buggers. I only watched them in my later years, around secondary school, when I got bored. I know of the characters because when we were younger, we had this computer game which featured Sesame Street. Ah hahaha. And yes, I shamelessly copied this from Adeline.
13. Once I got sick before my Primary Two Mathematics exam and in the end, I didn’t do the paper.
My dad was very angry at me. I was very sad but happy at the same time! Ah hahaha I wonder what I would have gotten sometimes.
14. I was in the choir for my Primary School musical.
I remember nothing much, a vague impression of putting on make-up and eating a crappy dinner, getting nervous, and having no bloody idea what the entire play was about. I think it was a Christmas play or something. Whatever.
15. I have not played Guild Wars or DotA before.
Many have tried. All continue to fail. Ah hahaha.
16. I once got a nose bleed in primary school and I still have no idea why today.
I have NEVER gotten a nosebleed or fainted before in my entire life. Damn.
17. I sing in the bathroom.
Yeah. I do. Any song requests?
18. The first fanfiction I ever wrote was a Warcraft love story.
It wasn’t. It was some stupid X-Men Evolution fanfiction. I feel like rewriting it. Ah hahahaha. The Warcraft story was one of the earliest too though.
19. I used to think British India was an airline.
I did. It’s some brand name at Orchard and I used to think, what the hell was an airline doing selling clothes?
20. I got lice before in my hair.
And! This is TRUE. There was this ugly green bottle that was used to wash out the lice, and this terrible comb with thin teeth to scratch them out. It hurt much. Was rather depressed. And for the communal bathing we had at our kindergarten, I’d bathe alone because our teacher didn’t want them to spread. Ah wells.

And now, the RESULTS:
Liew has been rushing me. Evil woman.

XL: 3/5 (Yay! Sorry I got 1/5 for yours…)
Liew: 3/5 (Liew is great!)
Adel: 2/5 (Ah wells. Good anyway!)
Gerard: 1/5 (Oh man… I’m sad.)
Luke: 1/5 (Gawd the guys got owned. Badly.)


Yayyers to everyone who did it! Thank Liew for rushing me! Else I’d never would have gotten it done.

Just do yourself a favour, and don’t ever watch The Covenant.
I’m giving it 1.5 stars out of 5, and that’s just me being generous.
For one, there is no plot.
I shall just tell you the plot, just to show you that there is no plot.
If you still insist on watching that crummy movie, I shall just have to put the SPOILERS WARNING right here, right now.
Hence, SPOILERS WARNING! BEWARE!
So, the story starts, these four guys, they’re like descendents of the five original founding families in this area of wossname. They’re called the Sons of Ipswich [MS Word accepts this word - wth], some gang-ish thing, like a clique in this boarding school called Spenser. [GG]
So then there’s this girl, called Sara, who is blonde and pretty and new to the school. Her room mate Kate, introduces her to the Sons of Ipswich during some party for the first time, and she and the main lead guy, Caleb [I LIKE THIS NAME] and another guy in the clique, called Gavin [I think. I only know he looks like Owen Wilson] hit it off pretty well.
Then the cops come as this is an illegal party and they run away but Sara’s car can’t start. So Gavin goes over and helps them fix their car, by staring at the ignition engine (with the hood up of course, so they can’t see) and his eyes go black and fiery and the car starts. They run off blah blah blah, the four guys get chased by the police but they escape by flying over this chasm, then landing behind the police when the police are like staring quizzically over the chasm and then they laugh and drive away. [Nice lightning effect here]
So then they go over to the girls, who are like discussing the guys, as Kate is the girlfriend of one of the Sons of Ipswich, I think his name is Reed. I shall now refer all of them by their hair colour – Caleb is short spiky, Gavin is blonde, Reed is shoulder length and I think the last guy, I can’t remember his name but I shall refer to him as Curly. Because his hair is curly. I think I got Reed and Gavin mixed up. Reed should be Gavin or Kevin or whatever.
The next day, there’s a report of the death of a student whose car the four of them were using or something. And Caleb is freaked out as he felt someone using the power in the night, so powerful that it wakes him up. He thinks its Reed, the blonde rebellious guy. What the hell, I shall just call him Simms, because that’s his surname. THEN freaky part, Caleb sees the dead kid sitting in the car next to him as he’s going off to somewhere and talking to Kevin (long hair guy) in the car. The kid opens his mouth and goes all ghost like and Caleb freaks and THEN! There’s this truck carrying logs heading right for him!
They crash; the movie does a great 180 degree view of the car completely splintering into a million pieces in SLOW MOTION and then forming back to its original form once the lorry has passed. Caleb survives the incident and complains to Long Hair Guy about it and suspects Blonde guy.
So then blaah I don’t want to go to details as they are from many other movies, like there is a bathing scene ala Ju On, where the girl (Sara) takes a bath ON HER OWN, and gets freaked out by some moving air. She bumps into Gavin on the way WEARING ONLY A TOWEL and Gavin (Kevin/Blonde hair guy/Reed/Simms) is completely CHECKING HER OUT and she is all ‘Oh noes something was WATCHING ME IN THE BATHROOM.’
I wonder why man. I wonder why.
So okay, there’s this new guy in town, called Chase Collins [I REMEMBER A NAME!] and he is completely hitting on Kate. Reed (Kevin/Gavin/Long Hair Guy) doesn’t like it but Caleb is like the cool guy and whatever. Here they TRY expanding on the relationship between Sara and Caleb, they go dancing, over to his caretaker’s house but not his house, blah blah blah the traditional kiss scene… etc.
Okay, so they show a bit more about the family, mainly Caleb’s family as he lives alone with his mom in some big Victorian house, as after all, they’re one of the founding families of the town. Mom is angsting about her husband, about how the power ate away her husband’s life, as her own son is turning 18. Okay, see the children right, they get their powers at 13, but it’s just a little bit. Then they get the full power at 18 (Ascension), and all of the kids are around 17 plus. That time, their power becomes their life, and they can’t give it away, else they will die. They can use the powers any way they like, just that the cost is their life itself, the more they use, the faster they age.
And they’re swimmers! All of them. Pretty. However, the movie chose a bad bad way to show that they were swimmers. I shall talk about that later.
So anyway, Caleb confronts Blonde guy about the ghost (Darkling) that he sees, and scolds him by using his power at some fight outside a bar, saying stuff like how the power is seductive and addictive and how Blonde guy was abusing his power and such, usual hero stuff.
Kevin denies all knowledge and there is a RIFT!
So then there is this mini argument between Kate and Long Hair guy, as Long Hair guy thinks that Kate is getting too close to Chase Collins. Kate and he blow off and they both sulk. Sara gets this scary dream about spiders and how they overrun her room and stuff like that.
Sara gets all freaked out and starts searching up on the families, finding the Putnams, Simms, Danvers and something else as I can’t remember the other names in some old book that talked about the Witches of Ipswich. She’s all suspicious but Kate is like, oh the powers mentioned don’t exist anymore.
So, they all are swimmers right, turns out that Collins used to be a swimmer too! He’s some freestyling ace swimmer, which HAPPENS TO BE Caleb’s pet event. So there’s this little competition in the pool, where they show both guys facing off, Caleb and Chase. Before this important [ahem] scene, there was this small bit on the guys swimming Butterfly stroke, which completely pissed me off as the way they swam it was completely ugly and gross and they should go watch some females do Butterfly stroke before attempting themselves.
Anyway, they swim and then they show one of the guys’ eyes turning black and fiery, which shows that power was being used and the guy using the power wins while the other hits his head on the wall. Ouch….
So then! PLOT TWIST! It turns out that CALEB HIT HIS HEAD! So it was CHASE who did the power! Therefore there is ONE MORE PERSON who had the power! [GAASSSSPPP]
However! The thing was that the last founding family had been AXED OFF during the Salem Witch hunts!
So they check up on Collins and find out that he was ADOPTED and his last name was actually Pope, which is an abbreviation from Goodie Pope, the last family which was supposedly axed off during the Salem Witch Hunts.
There this rather funny part, where Caleb and Long Hair Guy are in the office and a security guard comes in. They hide by floating but Long Hair guy accidentally drops the papers that they were holding and then Caleb stops the papers from falling on the guard’s head but floating them.
Yeah so everyone is like: Let’s go get Chase! But the thing is that Chase is already 18 and thus he has full power. Then the thing is that, Kate gets some sort of attack, by something, she goes to the hospital and gets very sick and Sara is really worried and stuff. She calls Caleb while they are discussing about the Goodie Pope family in some dark secret underground area with dribbly candles and a scary dark book. So they get the news, and the Long Hair guy gets all agitated and goes and finds Chase Collins on his motorcycle and meets him. He tries to crash into Chase using his motorcycle head on [stupid guy] but Chase uses his power and flips him over and crashes him really badly, so Long Hair Guy is OUT OF THE PICTURE.
Chase says that he got to Long Hair Guy using Kate and is using the Long Hair Guy to get to Caleb! [ARGH WHY DIDN’T HE GET THROUGH USING SARA IN THE FIRST PLACE STUPID GUY]
Then they change scenes to Sara, who is worrying in her dormitory about Kate and then she opens the door and sees Caleb there. He enters her room and they begin talking and then someone else knocks on the door, and she opens it and SEE CALEB AT THE DOOR AGAIN!
She is confused and then the first Caleb changes into Chase. Cut this scene short, Sara is knocked out, Chase uses Caleb’s mom, his friends and Sara as leverage for his powers as Caleb is the strongest of the group and the first to turn 18 amongst the Sons of Ipswich.
Caleb agrees and the curse on Sara that Chase used for a threat is removed, after Chase beats Caleb up a little.
Blah blah, the day that Caleb gets his power is the night of some Fall Festival thing, and he’s going with Sara for it. Sara and Caleb visit Long Hair Guy in the hospital, where the three of them discuss what to do with Chase. Caleb maintains that this is his own problem and tells the others just to take care and not do anything as he doesn’t want anything to happen to them.
He lets Sara in on his secret and shows her his dad, who is taken care of by his creepy caretaker and his dad is 44 years old but he looks like a 100 year old man, telling her of the effects of the power.
In the end, Sara is supposed to go to the Ball thing with the two friends while he confronts Chase on his own.
Blah Blah bitch fight thus ensues, Chase uses Sara as a hostage and leverage again, Caleb retaliates and Ascends as he is fighting Chase using, of all things, TRANSPARENT WATERBALL-ESQUE things that explode. The fight occurs in this old barn, and a fire subsequently occurs as Caleb knocked over a lamp. [Lame] Chase is happy and tries to make Caleb will his powers to him, knowing that Caleb will die.
So, traditional fight scene, after Chase beats Caleb up even after he Ascends, Caleb is lying on the ground exhausted, Chas leans over him, gripping his face:
‘I.’
‘I…’
‘Will you.’
‘Will you… Nothing.’
Then Caleb kicks Chase.
So they bitch fight a bit more, as Caleb mum runs to the caretaker’s house and tries to persuade Caleb’s father to will his power to his son, so that Caleb will get full power and be able to beat Chase.
He does so and dies happily and Caleb beats Chase.
Yay, the next day cannot find any trace of Chase [cliché] and the pair, Caleb and Sara leave the scene as fire fighters clear the area up.
OKAY END. SEE WHAT A CRAPPY MOVIE IT WAS.
I have several things to complain about.
1. The bad storyline.
2. The worse swimmers.
3. The fact that none of them look 17.
4. The idea that this entire movie occurs in a ghost town type of area, with mist and stone and dark dreary hospitals.
5. The bitch fight.
6. The shortness of the entire movie.
7. The fact that Chase was a complete idiot.
8. The lame names, which show that absolutely no brains were placed into this.
9. Spending this amount of money to watch this.
10. The fact that none of the guys were really considered good looking, unless you count the gay Sons of Ipswich, who aren’t that good looking anyway.
11. Stupid theme songs, with no point.
12. The fact that the idea of the title didn’t appear throughout the entire movie.
13. The stupid way they made Chase tell his identity which was in freestyling when he was swimming and breathing for air, then his eyes went all swirly black and fiery. I mean, COULDN’T HE DO IT UNDER WATER?!
14. Sheer cliché qualities of the entire movie.
15. The entire movie as a whole. At the end right, they are talking about how they have to keep their powers secret, and then Caleb, in his car, REPAIRS THE SHATTERED WINDOWS (after effects of the fight) RIGHT IN FRONT OF SEVERAL FIRE FIGHTERS before driving off. I mean, complete contradiction. Hello.

The only nice things about the movie:
1. The nice Lightning effects
2. The idea of how the power eats your life away

But! Today had some redeeming qualities. Don’t understand why though, me acting all dramatic and bitchy seem to make Michele and Judith just some very happy people. Don’t get it.
GG I spent 4 pages bitching about this movie. Wth.

Okay! After Chinese A Levels today! I have decided to Post a Revolution by...
Demanding for more English Songs!
Yay!
These are the songs that my mind have randomly come up with!
They range from last week's newest songs to songs from ten years ago!

Steven Cravis - through the kaleidoscope (instrumental)
song played in the Orisinal game, High Delivery (Gerard should know this song)
Snow Patrol - All That I Have (never knew the name of this song until like much later)
Click Five - Good Day (XL... ^__^)
Anbelin - Time and Confusion (found this in an Ouran Video!)
Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil (Oldest song: sung in 1968)
[I don't mind the Guns 'N' Roses version though! this is an inspirational piece for me]
Black Eyed Peas - Don't Lie
Scissors Sisters - I Just Don't Feel Like Dancing (Recent!)
Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight (unknown age)
Rooster - Come Get Some (couple of years old)
Uncle Cracker - Follow Me (Very old song)
Goo Goo Dolls - Sympathy
Nickelback - Saving Me
Gorillaz - 19 2000 (this was their first single I think)

Yay! So do me a favour and find the songs! Else I'll whine and whine about it here and not post any decent posts! Mua hahahahahaha.
