august 5th, 9:18pm

today was a pretty chill day. went to bed around 3am and woke up at 10:30am. my mom had an appointment a half hour away at 2pm so i just relaxed in my bed until 12:45pm. 

it started to rain pretty heavy while we were driving there and on the way home. my cat, chester, (who is an indoor/outdoor cat) decided he wanted to go out before we realized it was going to rain. when we arrived home, he was laying on the front step and screaming at us. he hates the rain. 

i then have been in my bed since 4pm. ive been trying to do as little as possible today because tomorrow i have an 8 hour shift and also will be meeting/training a new assistant manager. i don't do well on 8 hour shifts because i lose my motivation around hour 6. the last 2 hours are me just meandering until the time hits 9:30pm. august is a pretty busy month at my store because of back-to-school shopping. since its a thursday, it shouldn't be too busy, but ya never know.

im not sure what i want to do the rest of the night. i plan to go to sleep before 1am but i guess we will see. tomodachi life will definitely be on the roster. 

goodnight.

x-men fan/official cast round up!

so here's the deal, i am a HUGE x-men fan. i love the x-men, i have read a bunch of my dad's old comics on the x-men, i've seen the movies a billion times. when i found out that marvel/disney will be taking over the x-men cast, i was ecstatic. the fox version was amazing and always will be, however i do believe some characters were completely nerfed alongside their suits. my favorite character is wolverine, so i have no issue with the movies centering around him but i do feel other characters need limelight. 

all that being said, here i will be sharing the official casting announcements and who i would cast as the characters! (with references)

fair warning to anyone who does not want spoilers, there will be spoilers. if you do not want spoilers, click away now. please enjoy and let me know your thoughts! this is going to be very very long....

CONFIRMED CASTING:

character: emma frost

actress: samara weaving

powers: telepathy and its cohorts, and diamond form/psionic shield (prevents other telepaths from entering her mind)

my thoughts: visually, she fits the part perfectly! i haven't seen anything she's been in but a lot of people are very excited about this casting so i'm excited as well.

character: rogue

actress: cailee spaeny

powers: power absorption (can kill anyone she touches), superhuman abilities, flight (stolen from captain marvel)

my thoughts: i am very excited about this casting. i think cailee is a fantastic actress and i can't wait to see her play one of my favorite characters.

character: jean grey

actress: sadie sink

powers: telepathy and its cohorts, telekinesis, empathy (feels others emotions)

my thoughts: i love sadie sink. she is a fantastic actress and im so excited she's joining the mcu. i have yet to see the new spiderman movie but i can't wait to see her on the big screen.

character: beast

actor: charles melton

powers: superhuman abilities, very very smart, blue

my thoughts: i do not know charles melton, however i think he will make a great beast! please note that the picture i added of beast will most definitely not be what he looks like, however i wanted the theme to match the x-men '97 character looks so this will do.

RUMORED CASTING:

character: charles xavier (professor x)

actor: tom pelphrey

powers: telepathy and its cohorts and telekinesis

my thoughts: i don't know tom pelphrey however i could see him playing professor x very well!

character: cyclops

actor: cooper hoffman

powers: optic blast (pure force from a different dimension, not heat or lasers)

my thoughts: personally, its a no from me. i think cooper is a great actor however i do not think he would be a good cyclops. HOWEVER, i believe he would be great at another character i list later on.

character: mr sinister

actor: adam driver

powers: superhuman abilities, telepathy, telekinesis, shape shifting

my thoughts: adam driver can play a villain so well. i hope this is true because it would be perfect in my opinion. 

MY CASTING/FAN CASTING:

character: charles xavier (professor x)

actor: bill skarsgård

powers: telepathy and its cohorts and telekinesis

my thoughts: i think bill would be fantastic as professor x, however he might be too young. we'll have to wait and see, he is also a light rumor!

character: cyclops

actor: drew starkey

powers: optic blast (pure force from a different dimension, not heat or lasers)

my thoughts: i think drew would be perfect for cyclops. hes got the look and vibes cyclops would need.

character: magneto

actor: jensen ackles

actor: ben barnes

actor: jason segel

powers: magnetokinesis (metal manipulation), telepathic resistance, astral projection, flight

my thoughts: okay so, jensen would be my pick IF they were going for any actor. however, if they were going for a jewish actor (since magneto is jewish) my next options would be either ben barnes or jason segel.

character: storm

actress: arsema thomas

powers: atmokinesis (weather and elements), flight

my thoughts: arsema was in queen charlotte: a bridgerton sequel as lady agatha danbury. lady danbury is my favorite character of bridgerton and arsema played her amazingly. she would be perfect as storm.

character: iceman

actor: cooper hoffman

powers: thermokinesis (temperature), cryokinesis (ice), hydrokinesis (water)

my thoughts: if you see my vision, cooper would be perfect as bobby. i think he would excel here more than as cyclops

character: angel

actor: joseph zada

powers: flight, superhuman abilities

my thoughts: i think joseph would be perfect as angel. hes an up and coming actor staring in the new hunger games movie, and he was amazing in the 'we were liars' show. again, he definitely won't look like the x-men '97 character design, i just added it for aesthetic purposes.

character: gambit

actor: glenn mccuen

powers: molecular acceleration (kinetic energy charged into objects/people)

my thoughts: im almost entirely certain he doesn't act anymore, but he would be great as gambit. hes the right age, has the look, and was born in louisiana! i don't believe gambit will be in the upcoming x-men movie, however i wanted to cast him anyway!

character: mystique

actress: hunter schafer

powers: metamorphosis (becoming anyone)

my thoughts: i think hunter would be perfect as mystique. she plays complicated characters so well. she also probably won't be in the 2028 movie.

character: jubilee

actress: isabella wei

powers: energy plasmoids (fireworks) and telepathy resistance

my thoughts: i've been trying to keep actors and characters ethnicities the same and i think isabella would be perfect as jubilee. both chinese, and isabella was amazing as posy in the 4th season of bridgerton. also probably won't be in the 2028 movie.

august 4th, 11:17pm

went to bed at 4am last night. again. I haven't gone to bed before 1am in weeks. i was up playing a game on my ipad and just having fun but always aware of the time. staying up late always makes me feel guilty.

a hot-water-heater man came today around 8am. my mom stuffed our dogs in my room as i tried to fall back to sleep. eventually, i gave up and just scrolled on my phone as they were crying at the door. 

a package of old navy clothes came today and my mom wanted to return a few things so we went to do that, hit the bank, and came back home. i finally put new clothes and clean laundry away as well as started the washer with dirty clothes. its been... a while since i last did laundry.

after wards i played the same game as last night and took a nap around 5pm. woke up at around 7pm and just laid in my bed for an hour thinking. we went to get taco bell at around 8:30pm and ate in a planet fitness parking lot. i find it amusing how many people will workout this late at night.

came home, made my bed, and now just watching a live stream. i've got some ideas for what i want to post on here so stay tuned. 

goodnight.

today was a pretty lazy day. my mom and i went to my work to pick up my stepdad some socks with my discount and a pair of boots for me. he left at about 12:30 to head back to the job site he’s been at for the past 2 months. 

my mom and i took a nap for a while when my dog woke me up whining in my ear for attention. we went to one of our favorite diners for dinner and ate at home. during this time, my dog was hunting around the house for, i assume, a mouse. this will be the 4th mouse we’ve had this year. unfortunately, she killed 3 of them. my one cat killed the other. i gave them all a proper funeral where they go back to the earth. i wish i was able to set them free but alas, my dog is a maniac.

once again, it is late at night and i am still awake. i have work tomorrow at 3:30pm so it won’t be too much of a problem being up this late. 

goodnight.

this is a check in for yesterday. it was my best friends birthday (22)! i went over to her house and met a few of her friends and they were very nice. we played a card game and had lots of laughs. 

my sleep schedule has been horrible and i’ve been spending far too much money. i’ve bought so many clothes in the past few weeks i don’t even know where im going to put them. 

school starts in a few weeks, signed up for 4 classes this semester which is more than i usually do. there is a very large gap between 2 of my classes and i commute to campus so im gonna need to find something to do in the mean time. 

goodnight
