Frozen

Well, I may be a little late for the cinema, but considering the rest of the films I've analysing are from the 80's and 90's, I'm sure you'll live, however I will try to keep this as spoiler free as possible.

Firstly, the resemblance to tangled is so obvious, I mean three of the main characters are the same. Example? Anna and Rapunzel. Locked away for years and finally want to explore the world. Christof and Flynn. The handsome men helping the girls on their journey so they can get something in return. Don't even get me started on the parents.

The only difference I feel, is the presence of Elsa, there's no character to represent her in Tangled, or indeed any stereotypical role, I guess she is classed as a villain, but then not.

Shall we move onto the characters?

Anna: tad ditsy I guess, more stereotypical lead than normal.

Elsa: It's hard to analyse her, I can't think of any similar characters in anything! I'm not even sure if I liked her, she's a little, selfish I guess. Yeah I know she's trying to protect them but hmm I'm just not sure.

Hans: For those who have seen the film, this may cause outrage, I think he's my favourite. Even though he's not an overly major character, I felt he had more substance than most of the main characters. It's like the story drove the other characters, but Hans was driving the story I guess. I think this is it.

Is this my first bad guy?

(edit: I've already had Mim, so yes first bad guy)


Stuff can suck, but not always

I'm not even going to apologise for lack of posts; only two people read this and writing isn't my forte, so I'd be confused if anyone expected more.

This week has definitely been a mix of some rather intense things, none affecting me directly, but simply put, several things usually not talked about usually, have been this week. That combined with the Tangled soundtrack currently accompanying me, I'm feeling a tad reflective, but this week of openess has kinda made me want to close off a bit more. So I'm not entirely sure where this is going.

I guess a general thankfulness is in the air, turns out things can be worse, and this week is proof of that, I could be (more) directly affected by these issues, but thankfully I'm not; although I am close enough to realise how much things can suck.

So I suppose I could go in the direction for this post saying; things get better. Although talking is hard (directly reinforced by my resistance to share details in a blog), it can be worth it in the long run.
I guess.

Lifescouts 2.0

I know I have blogged about Lifescouts before, and I plan to do another one updating you on the badges that I have earned since then; but this year, I am setting myself Lifescouts goals; these are lifescout badges I wish to earn by the end of 2014.

Giving Blood
- Last week I applied to be put on the blood register, and hopefully should be carrying that through.

Eiffel Tower
- Although I have seen it before when I was young, this marks more of my first holiday with friends, which hopefully should be happening with my friend Lucy in the summer.

Juggling
- This is something I attempted in 2012 for about a day, and almost got the hang of it; but with a circus skills evening planned for tonight, maybe this may actually happen.

Rollerblading
- With the current occasional lessons from my boyfriend, and a fairly free summer, maybe I'll be able to move by December without squeezing his hand and screaming.

So, all those I've mentioned above I have some plans in action to achieve, now I will pick two more, in which I have no immediate plans in action regarding the badges.

Bike Riding
I had an accident on a bike in 2012, and have barely been on a bike since; and have spent the majority of 2013 scared of bikes; if I get on a bike on 2 separate occasions this year, I will be happy.

Picnic
Although I've eaten lunch in the middle of a field countless times, I can't particularly think of a time where we had the blanket, a bag of nice food and been able to eat and have fun.

Swimming
I know this one is mediocre but I used to adore swimming, but haven't done it in years, it would be nice to go once this year.
