Oh crap! It’ 54 minutes (and counting) ’til midnight!

True, as of right now, it’s 53 minutes to midnight and here I am struggling to think of what to type in this blog. Guh. I hate squeezing my brain matter… at the last minute that is…

Wait, I think I may have found something to ramble about…

MY LOVE FOR DRESSING UP! 8D
(and by dressing up, I do not mean as an anime character, however cool that is…)

Most people (like my friends in Secondary school) think that dressing up and masquerading around as someone who is not me is stupid, childish and of course, embarrassing. But I say nay! ‘Tis not childish! (Yes, I know I sound like that pompous knight in the Harry Potter, Sir Cadogan! But I love typing in this manner.)

Yes, anyways, dressing up. I find it fun (and amusing) to dress up. Be it a pirate for my school’s Drama Club orientation day or just plopping a Charlie Chaplin-esque bowler hat on my head and walk around Haji Lane with it, it’s just fun to be another character.

My bowler hat in all its glory.

Boy? Girl? Ahah.

I have chanced a glance at the wall clock and ’tis now 12:15am. So much for submitting a post by midnight. How nice. Reverting back to the topic…

The best era to dress up is from, I guess, anything before this millennium. Think, Chicago with the flappers. The Phantom of the Opera with the masquerades, The Lord of the Rings with tunics and yeah…  King Arthur in all his knightly splendor. (I nearly typed in ‘Knightley’ instead of ‘knightly’. Ahaha…)
Hell, I’ll walk around with Erik’s (the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera) mask if I can. Ask me to go all Marie Antoinette and I’ll be fine with it… so long as there is a reason as to why you’d want me to go around looking like a powdered puff.

But right now, my dream is to dress up like a mafia don. Ahaha, I’d like to slap on a fedora and hold a machine gun, and like Al Pacino in Scarface, go:

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!

Yeah, I can do accents. I can do British, American, Italian, Scottish etc. etc.
Just ask me one day and I’ll try my best to do the accent as sometimes it just won’t pop up. Heh. Oh yeah, just come with a line prepared that way I won’t have to think so hard of what to say. :P

Mmm, I wish the school has some society where we can dress up… it’s like Cosplay but instead of Anime characters, we dress up as people from different eras. (Though my spider senses are tingling and I have this feeling that a majority of them are going to come as emo-punks… Curse you emo trend.)

So before I end this random post of mine (meep, it’s nearly one in the morn!), I want to ask you, what have you always wanted to dress up as? King Leonidas? Jack Sparrow? Guinevere? or just suit up as Mickey Mouse or Spider-Man
I’d be much obliged if I get replies. :D

Adieu!

Exit, stage left.
