I'm bored and felt like blogging...Ever just feel like you wanted to think things through either by talking to someone or writing it down? I was feeling like that but didn't have anyone to call so basically I've decided to use my blog as a way to think through what I am currently doing.
I'm moving into my dorm room in less than 2 weeks. This is nuts. I've been putting together frames with pictures of my dogs and other things from Azkatraz and concerts and such and figuring out what posters I want to put up. I bought this gorgeous poster of the UK adult cover of HBP. Gahh I can't wait til I get it, I'm so in love <3. Now I am currently making lists of what to bring with me in hopes that I can narrow it down to a managable number.
Some things are just down right for sure coming like all my HP books and dvds (well, not all but a copy of each book and dvd) and all my Friends dvds. Other things, however, I would like to bring but I don't know if I need to bring. I'm still living about 20-25 minutes from my house and my sister goes to the same school and is living at home--if I ever really want a book/dvd, I can ask her to bring it up to me or just wait til I go home next and pick it up.
Despite knowing this, I'm having trouble deciding what to bring and what to leave. I feel secure knowing that if I want to randomly reread a book or watch something, it's in my room and I'm able to pick it up to read/watch easily. The idea that I may have a time where I want to watch/read something that's at my house when I'm in my dorm irks me.
My problem with dvds are my tv shows. I have all 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls, all 10 of Friends, 1 of Jon and Kate Plus Eight, one 18 Kids and Counting (don't laugh), one Gossip Girl, 4 and soon to be 5 seasons of Medium, etc. These take up a LOT of room. And I only have a 4-shelf bookcase.
Books are hard because I reread books so often that I can't just bring new books that are on my two read list. The only thing I'm able to go off of it which I've reread recently and therefore am unlikely to read again until the fall. Books like Bermudez Triangle and My Sister's Keeper.
At this moment I have a list of 18 dvds, 14 seasons, and 18 books. College is difficult.

HBP
I have now seen this movie 3 times: Once at midnight, once at Azkatraz's midnight showing, and once with my sister who did not want to go and see it haha. Before the midnight showing, I had read up to page 500 and the morning of Azkatraz's showing I had finished the book, the 3rd time was 2 weeks after reading it. Each time I loved it more and more. My thoughts:
Positives:
-EXACT QUOTES FTW!!! "You can't break an unbreakable vow," the song Hagrid and Slughorn sing, kjsdfhsdkjgdsj it was brilliant. I felt like I had jumped into the book which is what the movies SHOULD feel like! For the first time, I can view the movies and books as the same series instead of two different stories in order to not kill myself.
-Evanna Lynch. My Luna <3 All her randomness just reminds me how much I adore Luna and what her character adds to the story.
-Train scene. It was different, but it worked amazingly. Tonks would have made more sense but all was forgiven for me when Luna started talking and just being Luna. "I am your friend Luna." "That'e nice."
-Felixxxxxxx just beyond words brilliant. This whole scene in particular just felt like the book. Everything was just perfect and hilarious and jksgfgf I adore this scene <3
-The memories were done very well. Tom Riddle was a creepy child/teen and it was just brilliant to see. Would have liked the others but I guess you can't have everything *shrugs.* The Gaunts would have really been nice though...
-Ron/Hermione stuff. The movies have totally seemed like Harry/Hermione for me up until this point so it was nice seeing the shift. The awkward teenage hormones were hilarious XD
-Draco. Nuff said.
-Fred and George's quick joke in the joke shop of telling Ron it was 10 galleons when he said I'm your brother. That's just sooo them and jfggsd they were in for like 2.5 seconds of the movie but, for me, this one line made it feel like they were in for much longer because it was just such a great moment that it stuck.
More is good, but I'm going nuts so Negatives:
-Flitwick? "Urgent choir practice." Wtf? I have never understood this choir thing and it was just really odd.
-Why the heck did Hermione get drunk off of butterbeer? And how did everyone just have basically no reaction to Katie? Why wasn't Leanne upset when talking to McGonagall? Just what? This scene wasn't really enough for me...
-Ginny was such a creeper. Why did she TIE HIS SHOES?! Throughout Azkatraz everyone kept making random jokes about how hot that was and it was hilarious. These jokes are the only reason this scene doesn't make me kill myself.
-Harry just has no idea about the otehr horcruxes? He's just gonna guess, is he? That'll be interesting...
-HI, ELDER WAND! HOW CONVENIENT OF YOU TO JUST BE SITTING ONTOP OF THE DESK! VOLDEMORT WILL BE THRILLED THAT HIS WORK IS DONE FOR HIM =D
-Train scene with creepy girl hitting on Harry? Awkwarddddddd.
-Dumbledore telling the ENTIRE SCHOOL about Tom. That just irked me...
I'm going to stop now before I continue listing things for the next 3 hours lol

I miss Azkatraz =[
I haven't written anything in a while. This blog is going to just be random sentences. I'm sorry that I have no energy to string said sentences together to form actual paragraphs.
I went to California on July 13th.
Saw HBP at midnight. Looooooooved it <3
Left friend's house to go to Parc 55 for Azkatraz on the 16th.
Saw HBP again. Still enjoyed it.
Azkatraz started. Did many things.
Went on boat for first time with Wrock Around the Rock. Twas fun experience.
Fangirled a lot.
Hung out with some awesome people.
Went to some cool sessions.
Stayed up really late. Barely ate anything that wasn't free XD
Came home on Tuesday.
Wednesday I went to PotterCast/Remus Lupins tour in Vegas. Twas fun and exciting.
Now my week of Potter is complete and I am sad.
Trying desperately to catch up on lost sleep and fulfill my post-Azkatraz check list.
Soon, I will hopefully have my journal written. I took notes and journal will probably be over 10 pages. Yes, I am putting this off because thinking about these events will make me sader and also writing that much seems tiring.
Chris Rankin was there! He's a cool dude.
Done with random sentences. Once I finish journal, I will probably post it here in parts, Kristina Horner and John Green style.

College Books
After reading Hayley's new blog, it made me start thinking about the issue of the books I'd wish to bring with me to college. This problem has been looming over me since the start of my senior year and I believe it's about time to stop worrying about my space and think about which books I really am considering bringing to learn how many it really is. My problem is A) I reread books constantly, B) I feel as though a part of my life is missing when I'm separated from my amazing books, and C) I have problems. Lucky for me I am staying in state and will be coming home at least once a week to check up on my mom and such soooo if I truly need a book that I leave behind, I won't need to wait long. Hereeeeee is my list of books:
1. The entire HP series. I'm planning on getting the new box set (paperback) so I won't have to worry about my beloved copies won't needed to be touched.
2. John Green's books. These aren't even a question of whether I'm taking them or not...
3. Maureen's books. Currently I've only read Bermudez Triangle, which will be coming with me, and whichever books I finish this summer will play a part into which come with. For those I read, if I feel like I'll reread them within a couple months they come with. For those I don't read, they come with and get read.
4. Julie Anne Peters. I looooove this author and reread one of her books every few months. I'll probably take at least 4 of her books with me >.<
5. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I've never reread this series so I feel as if the time will come soon. Perhaps I should leave all but the 1st at home so if I decide to watch it, I can get the others next time I go home.
6. Jodi Picoult's. Currently I own 3 of her books. Whichever I own before the end of the summer are coming with me.
List is boring me now since a lot of my books I have yet to read. My friend leaves tomorrow and then I'll read HP til Azkatraz then after I return home, I shall read my long list of books. Basically though, my life will be a problem so I also have many seasons of shows which I watch constantly and need with me. I'm gonna need a big bookcase...Thanks, Hayley, for getting me to start thinking about the horrifying task of deciding what books and dvds I will actually need with me at college.

Bored. No Other Reason....
I'm back from my exciting/frightening trip to the south. It's quite odd last summer I LOVED Nashville and this summer.....not so much. Let's just say I'm a West coast girl and Nashville wasn't horrible but not as amazing as I remembered it.
I've been pretty busy since getting back to Vegas with my graduation, friend's Bat Mitzvah, grad parties, and my friend staying at my house til the 23rd. But all in all the summer has been great so far. I'm getting really excited for my friend to go home, not in a mean way, but my sister ended up surprising me for my graduation and her friend (who works for a movie production place) was able to get me EXCLUSIVE TICKETS TO SEE MY SISTER'S KEEPER!!! Soooo now I'll get to see it 3 days early a couple hours after my friend leaves =]
Fifty book challenge not going very well haha. Since I've been playing host, sitting and reading for hours isn't very easy so I haven't been able to finish any, though I have now started my third book which is MuggleNet's Harry Should Have Died. Hopefully *crosses fingers* by the 24th until I leave for Azkatraz, I will be able to finish the rest of HP (books 3-6 at least) and Nineteen Minutes.
I have nothing really of interest to say...just felt like writing something here haha.

NASHVILLEEEEEE
My computer starting auto-titling this EXACTLY what I was intending on titling it O__o How creepy. I guess my computer can just sense my excitement =D
So pretty much, that's the entire point of this blog: me being excited. Once I'm back from Nashville I doubt I'll be able to come on very much because my friend will be here and bugging me and I'll be bugging her to fall in love with MJ, John Green, and fiveawesomegirls. It'll be great fun.
I still need to finish packing. I'm just...not very good at things. I'll be going to the airport at around 2pm then taking off at 4:20 and arriving a little after 10. From this point we will check into hotel, change, get food, then my friend and I are going to wait outside the Opry til it opens for the FC Party. Whichhhh is at like 10am so it'll be a fun wait XD
There seriously was no point to this. I'll probably do a write up of the FC Party and Softball game if either of you care and write it here. If you're interested in reading about Carrie Underwood lemme know and if not then I won't bore you with me repeatedly telling you how adorable she is. I'll talk to you guys soon and DFTBA =]

Done with High School?
So weird. So very weird. Today was my last final so now I just need to go to class tomorrow to get senior checkout stuff done and graduation practice on Thursday then I'm good til I walk at graduation. I'm getting very excited about summer. You will understand why by my broad calendar below:

By the Way, have either of you bought any of the new Wrock albums out? (Remus Lupins, Draco and the Malfoys, Parselmouths, ALL CAPS, etc.) I was just going to buy them all at Az but I kinda wanna know the songs before I see them all live so if any of you guys have gotten them yet, lemme know which one I should try to get before Azkatraz (I don't have a credit card so I can only convince my mom to ask someone to order me one lol)
