Her Life is a WIP

I'm in a very good mood today! I'm still not sleeping like I should but today I don't care. To be honest, I'm wondering if I might be at the stage when you're sorta "high" from the lack of a good night sleep? Even if that's the case, I don't care, cause I feel all mellow and happy :-)

Happiness #1: This morning I decided to have myself a little casual friday at work and picked ( the t-shirt Cookie - aka Awesome Girlfriend - brought me from Manchester. Isn't it perfect? )

My co-workers all liked it. They have good taste too!

Hapiness #2: On my way to work I saw a tweet from a friend on Twitter (obviously) that linked to this piece of fantastic news, namely that James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender could be reunited in Danny Boyle's Trance. As you can imagine, this filled me with glee :-) [ETA: So apparently McAvoy might replace Fassbender instead of joining him? If that's true... let's say Half Happiness because I'd still get McAvoy - which is always of the win - but, yeah, a bit of sadness too because no Fassavoy?]

Hapiness #3: All morning long, I've been working on the part of my job that I prefer and that I've been forced to neglect the past week (two weeks, even??) and it made me feel very good too.

Happiness #4: I found this video this morning and had to stop myself from posting immediately on LJ so that I could squee with my XMFC fellow fans - if you haven't already seen it and need an incentive to do so (I'm not sure why anyone would need one, though), McAvoy refers to his and Fassbender's bromance as the "Brangelina of X-Men" then proceeds to imitate fandom and find a name for their pairing - "McAbender" "Fassavoy!" - and hey, do you think those guys have an LJ? lol Seriously, XMFC cast, best cast ever, Y/Y?

Actually, it's awesome because I keep finding new videos all the time; even when they are, in fact, not new at all. Like this one. Don't mock me but so far I'd only seen the Song part of it and a .gif of the Loser comment.

Happiness #5: Tonight we're seeing X-Men: First Class again; #6 for me \o/

Oh la la, I just found out that I missed a bunch of new Erik/Charles because I wasn't a member of erik_charles! That's such a dreadful thought omg! Good thing I found my way over there and realised what I'd been missing out. So that's one more comm I'm following as of tonight. I think we need for someone to set up a newsletter, guys. Because the thought of anyone missing anything in the fandom just makes me ache! Wait! Is there a newsletter that I don't know about? If there is, please to be letting me know asap? So that I stop missing Important Stuff. Tia ♥

Hey, have you read that article? It's a scan of an interview with James McAvoy done for The Empire magazine. He mentions the sequel to First Class - that is, a possible sequel - and he totally put his finger on a ridiculous and very shallow fear of mine, XMFC-wise, namely the loss of Charles' hair. I'm not even kidding. People who know me know I have issues with hair, don't mind me. And I was wondering, didn't Charles lose his hair when he was much younger in the comic, anyway? Because if he did, technically, they've already veered AU here, right? So they could have him keep his hair for a long time to come yet. If it were up to me, he would keep it until the very last scene of the third film. Even better yet, in a scene after the credits!

Silliness aside and back to the interview, I found amusing James McAvoy's vision of a Charles "playing wheelchair rubgy and kicking the fuck out of people". I just love how McAvoy has been trying to make his version of Charles wilder than his older counterpart; "He's a bit of a monk. What's the opposite of a monk? Let's make him not a monk". One of the things I enjoyed so much with young!Charles was his enthusiasm and out-going'ness. I have a "laughing!character" kink a mile wide and seeing the guy laugh and smile so many times in the film just delighted me to no end. The way he radiated pride and happiness ( let's say this is actually a spoiler that needs to be cut ) Besides, it's always really interesting (and heartbreaking) when someone like him loses this part of themselves, so that's something else I'd love to see in the sequel. How Charles is going to deal with everything that happened.

ETA: Lol and &hearts: How I Met Your Father, XMFC style. Tumblr is having a ball with that pairing, guys, there're so many posts over there!
