I'm Dreaming Of A White Easter...

[rionaleonhart]

WHATEVER, CRAZY BRITISH WEATHER.

Happy Easter! Everyone seems to be ill at the moment, and I'm no exception, but I hope that at least some of you are well.

I haven't updated for a few days, so here are some things that happened during that time:

- On Thursday, I went to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain again! They are still absolutely amazing. Also, I met maestro1123, and seriously, how can every single Livejournal person I have ever met in real life be so awesome? I've met thirty-two people on my friendslist now, and I have very much enjoyed the company of every one of them. (And I think that my tendency to give gigantic crushing hugs has actually got worse. THIS IS THE DANGER OF GIVING ME LABELS: I GROW INTO THEM FAR TOO EASILY. When I was labelled 'that zombie girl', having previously being fairly uninterested in the undead (no, really), I immediately set to talking too much about zombies and writing zombie apocalypse fic. When people started calling me 'the queen of crackfic', I started writing crackfic and almost nothing but. Now that my LJ friends view me as 'the person who gives alarmingly enthusiastic hugs', it's only a matter of time before I actually knock someone over. I politely request that you do not take advantage of this tendency by labelling me 'the girl who gives all her money to her LJ friends'.)

Rather to my distress, maestro1123 said that I was 'surprisingly normal' in real life. CLEARLY I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

- High School Musical 2 was on BBC One a few days ago, and so, because I've always been rather curious about this High School Musical thing, I sat down and watched it. I desperately, desperately want Ryan Evans to have a boyfriend in the next instalment - you know, unless the fact that he had an enormously homosexual song with Chad and then the two of them were wearing each other's clothes in their next appearance counts - but th_esaurus has crushed my hopes and dreams by reminding me that this is fairly unlikely in a Disney film. ALAS.

I am trying to think of a good boyfriend for Ryan from my other fandoms, but it is difficult. Maybe -

WAIT, I'VE GOT IT. RYAN EVANS/ZELL DINCHT. YES. (Ryan Evans/Ron Weasley could also potentially work.)

I enjoyed the film, in case you are wondering! It was thoroughly ridiculous, of course, and the plot was appallingly rubbish, but it was fun and had catchy songs. This is all I ask from a musical!

I think I must watch these now. Just for the AUGHIT'SHORRIBLE bits. Terrible television ahoy!

...you're - you're not attempting to persuade me to write High School Musical fanfiction, are you?

...um.

[rionaleonhart]

Would you like to see what is possibly the most AUGHIT'SHORRIBLE song/dance routine in the entire thing? Of course you would.

It's one million times better if you imagine that's how Squall works out his issues when no one is watching.

Riona, your comment threads introduce me to horrifying things.

[rionaleonhart]

...

You have just improved Final Fantasy VIII times infinity.

But now I can never play it again.

Ahem. The Extremely Ghetto Squall Cosplayer presents: How Squall Works Out His Issues When He Thinks No One Is Watching. Also known as is Saaski insane? Bet on it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0ajx7f5yT8)

It's not done--that was just an experimental to see how thinks would work. The sound is a little off (as I'm sure you notice) and the terrain is wobbly. Dance is being refined and costume bits are being added, but it's the beginning of a horrible, horrible idea. That you and Riona are in part responsible for, so.

Just thought I'd share.

(please don't spread it around yet--I want to wait until we have the final, good take before the internet is taken by storm, but I was pleased enough by the ridiculous so far that I wanted to share XD)

Oh, and of course comments of how to make it better to the suggestions of dance moves are welcome!

THAT'S AMAZING

THAT'S AMAZING

I laughed out loud so many times while watching that, good Lord. I WANT TO LINK TO IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET, BUT I SHALL RESTRAIN MYSELF.

WHY DOES IT WORK SO WELL?

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

XD I AM GLAD YOU ENJOYED. IT IS ABOUT TIME I AMUSED YOU. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, AFTER THAT CROSS-OVER? WIN.

Give me another week and you'll have something to spread over the internet, I swear. AND WE HAVE JUST SEEN HOW WELL I HOLD UP TO PROMISES, HUH? EVEN CRAZYINSANE ONES.

So, how should I improve the dance? More jumping/twirling/hip action/any other way to push fun at Squall?

[rionaleonhart]

Well, Squall does have a tendency to press his hand to his forehead in a longsuffering fashion. It would amuse me very much if you worked that in somewhere.

Also, the first 'that is my plan' action in the original dance routine is possibly my favourite part of the whole thing. I would love to see Squall attempting it.

PLAYING FINAL FANTASY VIII WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

Also, I'd like to imagine that Zell is just out of shot and laughing his arse off.

Why, yes, I often go back weeks in other people's LJs and then leave comments!

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

OhgodIforgotaboutthis. Well not so much forget because I'm still planning to do a better version (SO MUCH BETTER. WITH, LIKE, KNOWING WHAT I'M DOING) when I go back home in August, but I forgot how bad this one was XD

Anyway, that would be your idea, so. Your fault. Take credit and be proud or something.

Zell is hiding behind a bush and struggling to keep quiet. That would be an awesome skit and now I need to find a Zell.

MY THOUGHT PROCESS THIRTEEN SECONDS IN (I paused).

UM. Boyband sound, meet solo emo!

I can think of so, so many characters who would do this on their own time. Like Roxas. And Cloud. And...well, just about every emo character touched by Square.

Also, I think I've seen a Power rangers episode choreographed to this
very song.

...

*goes back to watch him prance about on the astroturf*

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

One minute in.

WHY IS HE IN THE DESERT NOW?

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

Two minutes.

GOLF.

GOLF?

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

...Oh, well that would explain the astroturf and the desert, now wouldn't it?
