1) I suck at keeping this current.
2) Things are Happening in Harry Potter land (not the theme park).

Posterity post: So a few days ago, Jo set up this game with a Googlemaps site, where different locations had letters. They spell:

POTTERMORE

What is Pottermore? Well, it is a website. What kind of website? We don't know. We find out at 7am EST ( Read more... )

Exactly twelve hours ago, I went to sleep.

Oh, and...SPOILERS UPNDER THE CUT.

( Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (or Harry Potter and the Half-of-Book-Six) )

I'm letterpressing invitations and visiting my Gram and volunteering at a storytelling workshop camp thing and going to the midnight release of HP 6 and visiting my Aunt, Uncle, and Tea-baby, and THEN going on a two week road trip, ending in DISNEYWORLD. And I'm trying to fit in reading and writing for school, working out in the morning, college ( Read more... )

Just in time to leave again. I'm going to the Jersey shore in about forty minutes. But the trip was really great. I have complaints about Explorica, but all in all, I loved it. I'll post some pictures in a few days, and talk all about it. I'm disapointed that there was no time for Doctor Who shopping, but a clip from the Shakespeare episode was ( Read more... )

So this is really my last post. I'm so antsy, but I have time to burn before I can go, and I saw this question, and I had to answer it.

HERMIONE GRANGER, so much. She is my soul sister. My magical counterpart. We're both "brainy" and basically rule followers, except in important and sometimes not-so-important cases. We both are sort of disliked by a ( Read more... )

I opened savings and checking accounts today! And I got a free water bottle for it! It has a filter! Anyway, I'm getting an ATM/Visa card thing to go with the account, and it's all very exciting. I cashed a bunch of savings bonds -- thanks to my Marmee and my late Great Grandma. A lot of it is going into a AAA Travel Card for England and France. ( Read more... )

So I haven't seen the Twilight movie. I'll get around to it. But no one has really been unbearable at all. No Twihards throwing fits or anything. I was a little jealous of one girl who came to school late after sleeping in...she went to the midnight showing. (To clarify: I'm jealous that she got to sleep in, not that she went to the midnight ( Read more... )

I hate this show, I hate this show, I hate this show. Okay, so let us recall THAT THREEPENNY CREW MEMBER that gave me such attitude. Well, she is my deck crew now. I think I've mentioned that. But anyway, she has STILL NOT REPORTED TO ME. Well, hadn't, when this story starts.

( I was REALLY not impressed. )

So today was nice and full. Went trick-or-treating, which I didn't do last year. It was a blast. I can has candy! I went as an Eskimo, inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's politically incorrect poem for kiddies, "Foreign Children." (Please, no one take offense.) He-hem:

( Little Indian, Sioux or Crow... )

Happy Birthday to Shanna and Allie!!! Sweet Sixteen for the both of them! Hoorah for birthdays!

Also happy International Literacy Day! Hoorah for literacy!

I have no role in Romeo and Juliet, but 'm sure I'll get involved somehow. I've asked Hersh whether a dramaturg is needed, but he hasn't responded yet... On the other hand, the girl I wanted to ( Read more... )
