Superheroes

So after watching five episodes of one of my favorite shows from childhood, Sailor Moon, I was prepared to watch about 15 more. After all, I have nothing better to do tonight, except for sleeping. Still it's early and a Sailor Moon mega marathon sounded like fun.

Until I realized I'm trying to do this thing where I blog every day this month. The Sailor Moon marathon has been put on hold.

That doesn't mean that everything Sailor Moon related has to be put on hold though. Seriously, when I was little, I was obsessed. I had pajamas with Sailor Moon on them and I knew all the words to the theme song. I think I wanted to be Sailor Moon. She was my superhero. After watching these episodes today though I kind of feel like she lacks superpowers.

I mean really. Every time she's fighting an evil person from Negaverse, Tuxedo Mask has to come and save her. There was one time where Tuxedo Mask didn't show up, but Sailor Mercury was discovered and saved the day. I'm not saying that there aren't times when even a superhero needs help, but a superhero who spends more time being saved than saving, seriously needs to reconsider their job title.

I've moved on to more super superheroes now. But a superhero doesn't need spandex, to be a hero. Sometimes all they need is the fashion sense of Buffy and a wooden stake. Yeah, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my new superhero. In a world where girls swoon over a moody and idiotic vampire and root for the girl who sits around a mopes like a cry baby, it's nice to see a girl who can love a vampire and also save the day. Plus Angel isn't as creepy or overprotective as Edward is. Buffy can fight and save the world. In fact she's done it multiple times. Sure she has her moments where you wish she'd just stop whining and get over it, but most of the time she is just plain awesome. Who needs spandex when you could be Buffy?

But Sailor Moon is kind of amazing still. I love that stupid theme song and all the crazy anime stuff. It's great and fun and makes my brain kind of melt in a really good way that every one's brain should every once and a while. Plus who says I can't have my old superhero and my new superhero too? The more the merrier!

I almost forgot!!!
Halloween Party Update:
We've finished the script!!!! Kinda.... We decided that it would be best if the movie were sort of improvised. So we wrote an outline and what we need to happen in each of the scenes. It's actually sort of hilarious already. Once everyone comes together and adds their characters craziness to it, it will be great. We're filming the whole thing this weekend which is also when I take the SAT, but we have a long weekend so we'll have plenty of time to work on it. I'm really excited. We had some great ideas today and when it's all finished I think everyone will enjoy it.
