my childhood heroes III

Hi erryone. This is the third edition of my childhood heroes. I know it’s getting mad, maybe I should have named the posts “my childhood icons” or something. But I dunno, I still feel like they’re my heroes.

Violet Baudelaire 

This girl has been like a style icon for me at first. I loved her gothic dress, her shoes, her bangs, her little braid, and her black ribbon she used for tying her hair. I cut my first bang (which I couldn’t give up from cutting it like 10 years or something) when I see Emily Browning in The Series of Unfortunate Events movie. I took a picture of her with me when I was heading to the hairdresser. I’ve had a black ribbon like hers. Then I started to read the books. Actually, I’ve read the third book before the movie, but I wasn’t even remembering it when I was watching. It could be because I am a children. With shitty memory. I don’t know. Then I read the 7th, 8th and 9th book. I don’t really know why I started with 7. I think I couldn’t find the earlier books and took these. Whatever, when I read the books, I realized she was like the person I want to be. So smart. OH GOD SHE WAS SO SMART. I was a little nerdy when I was at that age, doing experiments, reading books about evolution or something… And I’ve always want to fix some things or invent something. I used to love dealing with some cables and screwdrivers. Actually, I still do. But this nerdy things made me love Violet. I tried to be like her for a while, then somehow I quitted. Oh god. I should read the rest of the books.

Tintin

Well, I really don’t know how to describe my fanatism about Tintin when I was a kid. It all started when I learnt to read. I’ve started to take old books from my uncles’ and grandpa’s house. The first one I’ve read was The Secret of the Unicorn. I guess it was my cousin’s or something. They’ve had a bunch of The Adventures of Tintin comics, so I took them all to my own house and read them one by one. There was the chronological list of the comics at the back of each comic, so I followed the pattern and read it like a mad. Someday I realized I haven’t got any other Tintin comics to read, so I’ve read them all again. And again. And again. Tintin started to get into my life, I remember mentioning it at primary school to my teacher. With my big child’s brain, I draw a girlfriend to Tintin. I did it. I saw him in some of my dreams, that I took adventures with him. The favourite comic of mine was Prisoners of the Sun, I dreamed that I was Zorrino in that story. Unluckily, I lost the copy of Prisoners of the Sun and I haven’t buy it yet. Yeah. I should buy it.

 

That’s all for now. I’m gonna be here for the march favourites post as soon as I can. I have a homework to do… Actually I was planning to post this at the middle of the march. But I’ve had midterm exams. Sorry for that. I hope you enjoy your reading, if you do, please follow me on here, or tumblr, goodreads, wherever you want. Thank you!

my childhood heroes II

When I was writing the first “my childhood heroes” post I knew that I’m gonna do the second version of it because there are so many celebrities, authors, ordinary people, imaginary people etc. in my childhood memories. Therefore, as I planned two days ago in a bus, I am writing the new heroes that I start to remember.

Ida Söderberg

I literally don’t know who this person is. She is a model that I found in the website supermodels.nl because I needed a model for my role-playing and some people were choosing models from that site, I wanted to have a look at it, and this girl was my character. I know that when I created my role playing character she looks like this girl. She looks so normal, a little depressive, not a very beautiful girl, wise, shy. I named her Monica. Monica Moore, and I used this character for years. Wherever I go, I always played the same character. My avatar and sign, both of them was this photo of Ida Söderberg with photoshopped suitable sizes. I remember a fiction that we are people who has some super powers, and we were making groups of three-four to accomplish some tasks. Mine was telekinesis. That role was the perfect for Monica Moore, that’s why I will always remember her as a girl who has got telekinesis power. Maybe I should draw the character, it can be so cool!!!!!!!! Yes, I should do it.

Zooey Deschanel

Past 2 years, I was obsessed about Zooey Deschanel. It begins when I first saw the movie “Yes Man”, I listened to her character’s creepy songs and I fall in love with her voice. I started listening to all songs that she sing, I learned every single lyric of them. It was high school times, and I was always singing She&Him songs in classroom that my friends got bored of me… I tried to be like Zooey. When I came to college, I stopped being obsessed about Zooey, although I still love her and She&Him.
