I finished HP5. As soon as I finish Kite Runner, I can read HP6. By then, HP7 will hopefully be almost out. YES! Over the summer so far, I've gotten into two debates about HP. As in, I was talking to someone who thinks HP is dumb and I was trying to understand why they think that. One was an intelligent debate, one was not so intelligent. It's ( Read more... )

Nelly Furtado tomorrow!! I'm so excited. This will be my first concert ever. I'm so inexperienced. And, the only reason I'm going is because I was lucky enough to win tickets. If Biznatch and Shiznit hadn't told me about the contest, I would never have won the tickets. It's so cool how some things affect other things ( Read more... )

Now that I've been driving on real streets, I've realized that NOBODY EVER goes the speed limit. They always go much faster. It's kind of weird. I thought you had to go the speed limit or else you would sort of automatically get a ticket. It makes me feel like those old people who think they can still drive but really shouldn't. I always go the ( Read more... )

I just realized that the worst part of college is going to be cooking. It totally sucks. Think about it: coming home from a late class, and you're hungry. And you're like, I need some food. But then you have to make it, and it takes forever! Then you have to put the rest of the food in the fridge and wash all the dishes and put them in the rack ( Read more... )

Oh dang. Oooooh dang. Oh frak. Battlestar Galactica season finale just happened. Ya, it's real. It really happened. Yes. That song will be stuck in my head for such a long time. That song was...a trigger? Yes it was. That song was a trigger. Oh! Hey! The Battlestar seanson finale was really good! I just watched it! I'm putting off sleep to write ( Read more... )

The reason I like 300 so much is not because of the half-naked shiny buff guys cutting up Persians. They have such a height of virtue. There are these morals and ideas that the movie makes so obvious. Honor, respect, glory, REASON. All these things are what I admire in the Spartans. I especially love the scene where Leonidas kicks the messenger ( Read more... )

OOooh! Today, in English, it was cool! I can't believe there was a debate involving Objectivism. It was refreshing to have to remember those things and try to get others to understand. And I talked about it, and said my ideas, and it was nice. I thought it was pretty hilarious that Mrs. Dill was trying so hard to convince us we were wrong. And when ( Read more... )

Renaissance Festival!! Today was my third visit of the year to that wonderful place. I love the Renaissance Festival!! I have friends there. Real friends. Not just one of the character people, but real performers who really remember me. It really makes me happy. I'm friends with Clan Tynker. The last time I went (with my dad) the main guy, Elijah, ( Read more... )
