So I just got back from watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was pretty good. My friend, Kaitlyn, cried when Dumbledore died. And I finally learned his full name. I also learned that Dumbledore is, in fact, gay. JK Rowling said it herself as she was reading over the script of HBP. A line came up where Dumbledore says, "Ah, yes, I had a middle school crush once on a girl..." JK told the screenwriter that that couldn't be said in the movie because the only love interest Dumbledore ever had was with a wizard that he had to defeat in a duel.
I told my dad this and he went crazy. XD
Lol. I've been reading a bunch of entries on GMH, and suddenly, it's like I'm seeing things in this whole new light. The next time I go to the mall, I'm taking post-it notes and writing "You're beautiful" on them. Then I'm going to stick them in every dressing room, bathroom, and mirror I see.
And now I come to the part where I tell you exactly why I want to post this entry. I was talking to Laura about Coldplay, and I decided, you know what? I'm going to write down every reason why I love them and every thing that makes me want to listen to them. As I was just telling her, when you go to one of their concerts, you just get this vibe. It's idescribably inspirational. It just makes you want to hug someone and never let go.
You can't wait for the concert to start, and when it does and it's over, you want to go back to the point in time where you were saying, "Let's get this concert started!" because you want to live it over again. You never want to leave. Everyone who's been to a concert knows exactly what I'm talking about. Even my friend, who's very unemotional, agrees that there's something about them that's just utterly amazing. When the butterflies bust out of the ceiling, it feels like they're there for a purpose, and that purpose is to represent freedom and love.
Everything Coldplay does is for a cause, a meaning, or just because they want to do it. They don't allow drugs on the set, they don't allow bottle caps in the ampitheaters, and they write their own songs. Seriously, how often do you hear that? Either you're Miley Cyrus and your dad writes your songs for you, or you're a teenage girl that has 50 and 60 year old men writing songs for you. To me, the song doesn't hold any power or personal experience in it when it's written by a man but sung by a teenage girl.
Chris Martin stands for so many things. He once said in an interview that "whether you're a plumber or a pop star, you have to speak your mind. The only difference is that a plumber may not get as much publicity as the pop star." And I have to say that I agree with him completely. Because if you have an opinion and you don't express it, what's the point of having the opinion? It's just something that you're hoarding inside yourself, and, to me, that's not healthy.
And, lastly, the way they feel about touring. They never complain about it. They enjoy it. That's why I believe that their concerts are so amazing. Because they enjoy the things they do, it shows in their work, and they're able to share it with other people. It makes Guy, Will, Chris, and Jonny happy, and it's pretty obvious that it does.
So there you are. If you read all the way through that, congratulations, you've won a virtual cookie.
I'm off. I'll update if anything interesting happens. :]
