Argh!

Everyone is driving me crazy. Why can't anyone act like a civilized, decent person who does not delight in other's suffering?! Grrrr....... I wish everyone would go on time-out.

Harry Potter Icons

Yay! Icons! Comments are wonderful, hint hint.

Harry Potter 4, Every Time We Touch

I love both this song and this movie!

Some New Icons By Me!

Harry Potter, of course.

The Zoo!

I went to the zoo yesterday with Ariel, Katie and Taryn. We saw:
- A dancing polar bear
- A meditating monkey
- A seal playing with a candy wrapper
- Lion cubs
- African Wild Dogs (who freaked out at peacock feathers)
- Mongoose
- Little mini deer thingys that are adorable
- A lot of other stuff.
Afterwards, we went to the park and played. Then we went to Sweet Tomatoes. It was a lot of fun

Bangs

I really want side bangs. I'm done considering; now my only hurdle is convincing my parents. Some examples of side bangs:

Ella Baila Sola - Despidete

This song is so sad, but I love it! I first heard it in Spanish class.

Hallelujah

This song is so sad... and yet so miserably applicable.

Dead Man- Pirates of the Caribbean

I love this song!

Knock Three Times

Wow... so seventies. McKenzie and Caroline sang this in English class; I like thier version better.

What's On My Mind

I want a haircut (and color) like this!


Love

It's spring break!

A Review of My Day

I'll go through my day chronologically.
Before School Let's see, what did I do? Well, I got ready for school. That's it. Boring.
PE We ran the mile and it really sucked. I got 9:38 as my time. I really hate PE. I cannot wait for spring break.
Science Nothing, as usual. We went over the homework. Again.
Orchestra We played the 1812 Overture. Still unbearable, but less so.
English We were supposed to have a mock classroom today, but the board and potential teacher never showed up, so the poor sub made something up as he went along. It was pretty good.
Math We reviewed and learned how to do logarithims. I like my math class. My teacher's getting Lasik tomorrow and she's kind of scared. It was fun anyway. I love math class, even though I could do without the subject.
Spanish More working on our books for Guatemala. Got extra credit for my oral practice calender. Started a story with one of my friends.
Geography We watched more of a movie about China. All they talked about was steel, rice and cars. It was really boring. I hate the guy who sits behind me, he's an arrogant, ignorant, concieted, self-centered, slacking-off jerk.
After School I reviewed my day, decided I need flip flops, came home. Watched some Oprah, rolled my eyes a lot, came downstairs and blogged. Now I get to do homework.

Classical Pieces I Could Listen To Over and Over

- The 1812 Overture by Tchaicovsky It's amazing and loud. I love the cannons! We're playing this piece in my school orchestra. I like how it's melodic and loud at the same time.
- The Hallelujiah Chorus by Handel It's really fun to sing along with and it's loud and happy, which I love.
- Tocatta and Fugue by Bach It's really loud and dramatic!
- Hungarian Dance #5 by Brahms I'm playing this on the violin for my private teacher and I love it's exotic sound and fast bits. It's really hard to play though.
- Ye Sleepers Awake by Bach, I think This one's sort of a funny story. I was humming this one day (I didn't know what it was) and my dad asked me what it was. I replied that all I knew about it was that it was the song I wake up to every Sunday morning. My mom jumped in saying that it was called Ye Sleepers Awake. It's a nice piece to wake up to.
- Pretty Much Anything By Howard Shore Lord of the Rings, baby!
- The Nutcracker by Tchaicovsky I love this ballet. The music is amazing, even though the story is wierd. Two of my friends dance in it every year.
- March of the Slavs by Tchaicovsky I don't know why I like this song, except for that it's loud.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Since I'm not Irish, not Catholic, not red-headed or named Patrick, I obviously have a lot of Saint Patrick's Day spirit. (Can you smell the sarcasm from wherever you are?) Anyway, here's my special Saint Patty's Day Avatar:

Hope your Saint Patty's Day is... Green!

Story!

Here is story my friend and I are writing. (The first part, anyway.) To preserve her privacy, the names have been changed to Harry Potter characters. Purple is written by me, green is written by her.

"Hear hear!" she said as she raised her glass of ale high above her head.

Lavender then whacked the glass out of her hand, because Hermione's much too young to be drinking and Ron's looking.

You know what? In Europe kids drink all the time...and let the boys look I say! Let them look (she said with a devious grin)

As she and Ron begin snogging fiercely and passionately

And then Hermione gently pushed Ron away saying with tears in her eyes, "No, Ron. It would never work. I.."
"Shh" Ron hushed as he brushed the tear drops from her rosy cheeks. "I'm in love with you, Hermione." Then he leaned in for the kiss of the century, right in front of Draco Malfoy, breaking his heart.

When said kiss had finally ended, (a while after Malfoy had stormed out of the building, miserable and furious) Ron and Hermione glanced over at Ginny, who looked a little startled, but gave them a smile. She raised her eyebrow at Ron, who had gotten on one knee

"Darling," Ron whispered, "I can't imagine me without you in my life. You complete me, I...I'm not sure I can make it without you. I love you, and I'm sure we're meant to be together. Hermione, would you become Mrs. Ron Weasley?" A radiant smile spread across Hermione's face. She giggled and accepted the beautiful ring presented before her. Ron threw his head back with laughter and picked up Hermione into his arms and around and around they spun kissing wildly. Malfoy, watching all this through the window, gasped and nearly choked on his own breath "This can't happen!" he thought, "I won't let the love of my life float away from me like this! I'm putting a stop to this!" and he stormed inside...

Mr. and (soon to be) Mrs. Weasley walked out of the building, hands held tightly together, their fingers entwined. Seeing that Hermione was shivering in the cold March air, Ron draped his coat over her shoulders. Hermione couldn't keep her eyes off him, and once she missed a step and started to fall into the deserted, but wet, street. Ron, not missing a beat, caught her in his strong arms and brought her up for a kiss. Both Ron and Hermione had never been happier. A certain Draco Malfoy, however, couldn't say the same of himself.

As Ron and Hermione were tongue tied (literally) Mr. Malfoy hatched an evil scheme in his mind. Evil...yet delicious at the same time. As soon as Hermione and Ron took a break to come up for air, Malfoy swooped upon the lady, and stole her right out from under Ron's embrace. Hermione screamed for her darling Ron, but to no avail. Malfoy had shoved her in the front seat of his Buic and was speeding down the street. Ron, seeing all this, tore his shirt in agony and vowed to get Hermione back.

Still shirtless, Ron ran after the car, his anger and love for Hermione proving more effective energy than gasoline. Hermione, meanwhile, was screaming for her darling Ron. Tears streaming down her livid face, she turned on Malfoy, who was staring at her. "Let me go!" she demanded. "No," he answered "you must come with me. I'll never let him have you. You're mine." Hermione shrieked and started pounding on the door and windows furiously. She managed to break the glass, but not enough to escape. It was enough, however, to cut her hand. When she was about to give up, a miracle happened. A police car zoomed past them and turned rapidly to cut them off. Malfoy's car slammed right into the driver's seat. Hermione screamed; the driver's seat had been crushed by the impact. The driver was surely dead. Then, all of a sudden, a shirtless Ron stepped out of the passenger seat. He walked slowly toward the now broken car that Hermione and Malfoy were in.

The whirl of police sirens filled the air, and as Hermione looked around her and surveyed the scene, a wave of panic swept over her. This would definitely not look good to the authorities. She looked up at Ron, terror on her face. He seemed oblivious to her obvious worry. Instead, he was focusing on her bloody hand. Remembering the wound, Hermione's hand suddenly swelled with pain, and she gasped at the jagged cut. Ron took what was left of his shredded shirt and wrapped it around her hand, then lifted her out of the car (Hermione couldn't help but notice how fantastic his abs looked) All of a sudden a hoarse voiced commanded "Put. Her. Down." Ron with Hermione in his arms whirled around to face a bloody and bruised Draco Malfoy who had staggered out of the car. Hermione tightened her grip around Ron's neck as he stiffened where he stood...

He tenderly put Hermione down and wrapped her hand. "I'll be right back. Don't watch." He kissed her lightly and stood up. Ron walked over to Malfoy. He looked him straight in the eye and said "Yes?"
Malfoy's face contorted with rage. "You stole my Hermione. You wrecked my car. I kill you." And with that, Malfoy clenched his hand into a fist and swung with the power of a gorilla and... He missed. Ron had ducked and now...

Came up with the force of a thousand freight trains and hit Jesse square in the jaw. Jesse groaned, and fell to the ground unconscious, yet still alive. When Hermione dared to open her eyes, she was confronted with a horrible sight. Blood poured from Malfoy's mouth, two entirely wrecked cars sat steaming and pouring gasoline, and 2 police cars were racing at them from down the street. But before she had time to take it all in, Ron had again taken her into his arms and was in fact running towards the police sirens. As they screeched to a halt, Ron, panting said, "Officer, a certain Draco Malfoy has attempted to kidnap this young woman. I've rescued her from his clutches, but unfortunately, he was involved in a violent accident. I believe he was hurt. You might want to check out the situation." Then, he and Hermione began walking away towards a nearby medical center...

Ron carried Hermione to the medical center. The staff were surprised to see Ron carrying Hermione and Hermione conscious. Ron strode to the front desk, saying "This lady was kidnapped and when she was trying to escape, she cut her hand really badly." He showed them her hand, careful to hold it tenderly so as to not hurt her. When he put the hand back, he kept holding on.

I Finished My Play!

I finished my play for English! Hooray! It took me forever. I didn't like writing it. Ick. Here's the first scene:
Scene I
(The curtain rises, we see an empty classroom. Desks are scattered in groups of four; half of the chairs are pushed in. A pile of sweatshirts, hats and notebooks lies neglected in the corner. The walls are mostly covered in collages and essays with a few drawings by students. Maddie and Alicia enter, talking to each other. Alicia tosses her long ginger hair over her shoulder and leans her head down to hear what Maddie is saying; Alicia is much taller than Maddie. Maddie’s own dark hair is in a ponytail. The two drop their backpacks on two desks facing each other. Still chatting, they begin to move desks so that there is one big group of eight desks in the center of the classroom.)

Alicia: I’m sorry. Is orchestra really that bad?

Maddie: Yes! It’s like… (groans loudly and dramatically)

Alicia: You should have been in band with me, it’s loads of fun. (Maddie groans again)

(Kenzie, Katelyn and Courtney enter. Kenzie waves her arms wildly, facing the other two. Kenzie is medium height with light brown hair; Katelyn is short with dark hair and Courtney towers over both of them and has blonde hair. Kenzie, upon realizing that she is in the classroom, jumps to the center of the room and stretches her arms out.)

Kenzie: You guys will never believe what happened in French class today!

Alicia: (leaps over to her) Oh!

Kenzie: So today’s quote of the day is “Let’s all shave our beards now!”

(Alicia giggles)

Courtney: Uh, Kenz, do we even want to know?

Kenzie: No, I don’t think so.

(Laura bursts in, runs to a desk, sets her stuff down and runs to Katelyn.)

Laura: Katelyn, Andrew is wearing pants!

Katelyn: No way! Like, jeans pants or what?

Laura: Actual jeans!
(Everyone else stares at them, confused except for Courtney, who knows what is going on but is thoroughly unimpressed.)

Katelyn: Ah!

Alicia: (disapprovingly) You stalkers.

Laura: (defensively) What’s wrong with stalking them?

Courtney: It’s bad. You shouldn’t stalk them.

Kenzie: It’s a violation of their rights!

(A bell rings and all the girls run for their seats. Everyone pretends to write furiously. A couple girls look around nervously. A boy enters the classroom, everyone except Laura looks at him with disgust.)

Boy: Hi, I’m Andrew Sims. I’ve been transferred into this class, but today I have something with my homeroom. Um, is this our entire study hall? (The girls shake their heads, still looking hostile)

Courtney: No. All three other guys are doing something for their homeroom.

Andrew: So all girls today? That’s pretty cool I guess. Anyway, Ms. Johnson- she’s the teacher here, right? - has to do something with the newspaper, so she told me to tell you to use this time to work on your essays. So, um, yeah. (The girls glare at him) Okay, bye. (He exits)

Laura: (squeals) That was Andrew! Oh my gosh guys, isn’t he, like, amazing? Oh, he’s in a band, he plays the guitar!

Alicia: That’s who you’ve been stalking?! He’s second class! He’s an idiot!

Kenzie: Um, yeah. Need I remind you that as first class kids with smart parents with a ton of money, we only associate with other first class kids with smart parents with a ton of money?

Courtney: I can’t believe you like him, Laura.

Maddie: He’s weird. Definitely not good enough for you. Not good enough for any of us.

Laura: Aw, guys, he’s fine. He’s so nice.

Katelyn: Well, maybe, but you still shouldn’t stalk him.

Laura: You guys just don’t get him. (She shakes her head and bends over her writing. All the other girls follow her lead and the conversation ends.)

Kenzie: How do you spell thoroughly?

Maddie: T-H-O-R-O-U-G-H-L-Y.

Kenzie: Thanks.

Maddie: Why?

Kenzie: Because I am thoroughly sick of the boys from our social class. They’re all nerdy, arrogant jerks with no sense of fun.
Maddie, Alicia and Courtney: Agreed.

What I Go To School For, Happy Birthday Remus

I love this song! Listen to it here.
Also, a very happy birthday to everyone's favorite werewolf and DADA professor, Remus Lupin!
A Little About Remus:Birth name: Remus John Lupin.
Other names: 'Moony,' referring to full moon’s effect on him. Peeves calls him 'Loony loopy Lupin'
APPEARANCE
Eye color: Unknown.
Hair color: Graying light brown (PA5), gets a bit hairier than normal once a month.
Other characteristics: Werewolf; shabby clothing; often looks sickly and tired. Quiet but mischievous; people tend to underestimate him (PA5, PA18; OP3). JKR: "Lupin's a wonderful teacher and a very nice man but he has a failing and his failing is that he does like to be liked and that's where he slips up because he has been disliked so often that he's always so pleased to have friends so he cuts them and awful lot of slack" (RAH 2003). Voice: hoarse (PA5). From the books: "The stranger was wearing an extremely shabby set of wizard's robes that had been darned in several places. He looked ill and exhausted. Though quite young, his light brown hair was flecked with gray" (PA5). "Though still quite young, Lupin looked tired and rather ill: he had more gray hair than when Harry had said good-bye to him, and his robes were more patched and shabbier than ever" (OP3).
Was a maruader.
Was bitten by Fenrir Greyback.
