The Harry Potter movie franchise has come to a very successful end. As I'm writing this, it currently has 97% at Rotten Tomatoes, it has taken in a record-breaking $168 million at the box office, and there is (very early) talk of it being considered for a couple nominations come awards season.

I've been thinking a lot recently about how my reason for keeping this journal has really changed over the years. I hounded you guys to all get a journal way back in first year, because it was a way for us to keep in touch while we were all off in different places for school ( Read more... )

I'll get to the bad news first ... some/most of you know Alice, who was in Lit with me? She's been battling cancer for a while, and I found out this morning that she actually passed away yesterday. It's strange, but I wasn't surprised at all. She hadn't been online for months, which was so unusual for her, so I knew things had to be pretty bad. I'm ( Read more... )

I went to the Sens game tonight! Mom and I went early and had dinner at one of the restaurants there. It was my first game of the year, and it was actually an extremely belated birthday present from my parents. I had told them at the time that all I wanted this year was tickets to a game, and gave them a list of the ones I was most interested in ( Read more... )

Day 11 → A photo of you taken recently

As much as I kind of despise the vast majority of photos taken of me for much of my childhood, it's possible that I like recent pictures of me even less. Especially when I'm posing for a picture I know is being taken ... I've become really self-conscious about the way I smile in photos, and how I apparently ( Read more... )
