...and signed up for NaNoWriMo. My brain's going to explode.

I'm quite sure he's faking the violin, but he actually can play. He was born in the Soviet Union and moved to Norway at a young age, his mother is a pianist and his father a violinist. Needless to say, I kind of love him! XD

So it's not definite yet, but me and my bff are totally plotting how to play a game of Land-Quidditch! We're gonna paint a soccer ball red for the Quaffle, rubber band balls for bludgers (we'll be wearing helmets because KT SAYS SO), and a large marble for the snitch (everyone will close their eyes and someone will toss it out; the Seekers have to wait a certain amount of time before going looking for it). Oh and we're trying to find HUGE butterfly nets for the goals, so if anyone knows where I might find some let me know! Or if you have two humongous butterfly nets sitting around your house, EXPRESS MAIL THEM TO ME, PEEPS!!!!!!

This is gonna be SO GREAT.

Yeah, I got bored and was inspired by the dgficexchange  community for their unique way of almost "Secret Santa"-ing fan fiction to all its members, and then having competitions for the best. So I decided I was jealous and wanted one with not just draco/ginny fanfic, but any matter of pairing in the Harry Potter universe! So, if anyone is interested in giving me a hand with the new community or partake in it, toddle on over to the taficexchange 

It stands for Totally Awesome fic exchange. Though it's not me being vain! It's from the Very Potter Musical! Y'know..."I'll see my friends, gonna laugh til we cry/ gonna take my Firebolt and take to the sky/ no way this year anyone's gonna die/ and that's cool/ and that's TOTALLY AWESOME!"

So I stole it. XD

Every night I go to sleep hugging a pillow to my chest.

Maybe I'm hoping it'll turn into a person, and I'll feel less alone in this big wide world.

...I couldn't help but squee when I saw that the guy who plays Sylar on Heroes is Spock!!! XDDDDD That just made my whole day.

Also, I think you would all get a kick out of this video:

So I just got home from a Howie Day concert!! It was phenominal! Plus, I discovered that I cannot go to a concert without falling in love with the opener, whether it be their music or THEM. This time, fortunately, it was BOTH!! His name is Nick Zuber, his music was sweet and honest, sounded good, and he is a NICE GUY!! I got to meet him after the show, and I bought his last EP! So he signed it while I was digging for quarters (I didn't want to use my 20 on a 5 dollar CD), and I didn't notice, so I pulled out the little paper slip from the CD envelope and asked him to sign that. It was then that I saw the signed CD and I really quickly said "Oh, nevermind, the CD's signed!" But he got all serious and junk, grabbed the paper, and was like "Oh no, you get BOTH! You totally get both!" And so I got his autograph TWICE, and on the piece of paper in the CD envelope, he even added a little HEART!! He personalized it just for meeeeee!

As you can see, he has a new fangirl. XD

But seriously, all fangirly delights aside, he really was a nice guy. Plus, he's only 9 years older than me! That's great, considering most musicians I go see are at least 10 years older and with girlfriends, lol. I'm totally gonna look him up on Facebook later, cuz he said I could. ^^

Howie was also awesome. Boy knows how to use a loop-pedal!  He was very intense for a lot of the show, but then he broke the intensity by pointing out that he was wearing a Maine pin "Cuz I'm from Maine...it's kinda like Minnesota" (Where he was at the mo') "but small..." And then halfway through the show he ended a song really goofily, but hitting the top string of his guitar a few times and bobbing his head LOOKING DIRECTLY AT MY FREIND who coincidentally has been in love with him for 1/4 of her 16-year-old life, and we're pretty sure he did it on purpose, because she commented on his blog beforehand that she would be in front wearing a piano-scarf, which she was. So that made her happy. Plus she bought him a little stuffed moose from a Minnesota shop in the mall, and wrote him a note, which turned out to be really good, because he didn't have a Meet-N-Greet afterward. Jessica (my friend) cried a little when she heard, but then she gave the moose and note to the stage guy, and he made sure to take it back right away.

Anyway, I'm SUPAH SLEEPY (but really don't feel like sleeping, though I should stop babbling before my true delirium shows through this XD), so I suppose this is as good a time to close! Goodnight my lovely friends! (or, should I say, good morning! ^.^ )
xoxoxox!

I watched almost the entirety of the Oscars because my dear friend xfurryx told me that they were supposed to air a clip from Half Blood Prince. It was during the ending credits, and was about eight seconds long. I actually missed them the first time because I was helping my sister find something to wear to play the art show tomorrow, so I had to run out to the living room and rewind the tv so I could watch it.

It was worth it.

I finished The Time Traveler's Wife last night. It was sad and beautiful and perfect. I had actually noticed that I was getting near the end when I was reading in Biology, knew that I was bound to cry at the end of a book like this, and therefore had to wait until I was in bed to finish. I cried like a baby. And, I've already got fanfiction ideas swimming in my brain... *devilish grin*

But I finally managed to get all 88 pictures from the Fray Concert onto an album in Photobucket!!

There's a lot of repetition, and some of Jessica's body parts (she's not good with cameras and fingers on lenses XD), but I'll have more from my sister's camera eventually (which is what I was using, oddly.) My sister had what her journalism group has named "The Precious" since it's their only Pro camera, so hopefully we'll get some really good ones from that too!

Our first competition for the One-Act is today!! It's a friendly competition, but it's still our first time performing it for an actual audience and for the last 2 rehearsals one person keeps failing to bring out their box for a particular scene and I've had to do it the scene afterward and it's AWKWARD and I'M SO NERVOUS.

Wish me luck, please!! Or, well, to be theater-ally correct, a horrible car accident that leaves me mangled in the street!

DX

In two days, the Twilight movie made enough money for Summit Entertainment to officially film the sequel!

Apparently Summit hadn't allowed themselves to anticipate such a huge hit in this movie, because the company's only 18 months old as it is, but they were hopeful enough to get someone working on the script for New Moon before they even knew they were going to get enough money for it!!

I'm so happy!

So, I've been lazy and not updating! But I'm bored, therefore I post. :D  Alright, in the last chapter Tonks and Remus saw a lot more of each other than most people have in their first six months of a relationship. In this chapter, Remus and Tonks reflect on the night before, and Sirius gets closer to his cousin.

Chapter Index and...well, the full story XD  http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?psid=253503


( part 5 )

I would like to take a moment now to appreciate the country I live in.

( What an historic day )

The ending killed me!! It's all totally serious and dramatic, and the Theme plays, and then BAM! HILARIOUSNESS!

Seeing as it's six days until the deadline for the Autumn Moonlight Jumble, I am now switching my phazors to DESPERATE FOR A BETA. I'm totally serious; This is some of the choppiest work I've ever done, and I would REALLY appreciate some help on smoothing it out! So, if anyone's got a spare ten minutes, could you be so kind as to wire me an email address and look over my fic?

...I completed my very first novella-length fan fiction. It was a very anti-climactic moment. I started writing the story on Monday, July 21, 2008, 12:33 AM (and just realized now that it was the first anniversary of the DH release; how appropriate XD). Though, I'm not sure if it counts if I started mapping out the story on Saturday, April 12, 2008, 10:29 PM. Oh well, I'm saying it does!

But still, it was a very bittersweet moment as I slammed down the last words. I dilly-dalleyed around, typing absolute nonsense, then going  back and fixing it up, before I (and my friend) scolded me into getting my brain back in order. Then it was so very simple, but so very saddening. It was like my little baby, that fic, and now my baby is all growed up and on its own!

Okay, I really don't know why I'm still talking. But I felt like I should have cried or something when I put down the word END like that, or feel as impacted by the word as I had when reading the Twilight series, but it just sort of sat there. Though I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow in school, when I open up my green notebook and realize that there's nothing to write anymore...

...sort of. If all infants were made of plastic, that is. And ate 3 meals in the course of thirty minutes. Currently, Baby Think-It-Over ®
is in my lap,  making sucking noises while I hold its face up to a nursing tag my teacher gave me so I could have at least one hand free. But if little Trey's (the computer-name. I hate it and want to rename him but can't think of anything that won't be obviously Potterific like Teddy or something) face slips even a little he starts to wail loudly.

Oh good, he's made his chirpy-noise, that means he's all done. Now I have both hands free! Well, the reason I have BTIO is for a class project. I could have done another project interviewing parents about the child-rearing experience, but that just didn't seem as cool. So now I'm absolutely certain that I won't be getting any sleep tonight or tomorrow night unless he takes a great amount of pity on me, or I initiate the Emergency Turn-Off to catch a few winks, but that would mean I have to re-do the baby thing, or fail the project. Fun fun!

But anyway, what should I name the cute little bugger? I'm thinking of simple names like Adam, Charlie, Jack, John or, as a last resort, Theodore. Teddy for short, obviously (I almost wished that I'd gotten the girl baby, just so I could name her Theodora....XD).

Well, that's really all the input I have. That, and don't have babies when you're 15! It gives you a sore neck and a social life with something to be desired! Plus you're sleepy at 8:45 instead of 1:00am!

Yesterday at the lunch table, my good friend and I were discussing what we would be like if we were men. It was quite the hilarious experience. Her man-name is Sir Mr Dr Maxmillian Leonard III Esq. (I have no idea if I put all of the titles in the right order, by the way). My man-name, I decided, would be Teddy. Because I love Teddy. Lupin. You know, blue hair? Yeah him. It was the only name I could thing of at the tip of a hat, so I am Teddy (or Theodore when Max-Lenny wants something from me, her secretary of defense XD).

Somehow, my friend slipped up and accidentally said "Theodora" when talking to me. We paused, blinked, then simultaneously gasped and started laughing uproariously, because we realized that, as part of the Black-Tonks family curse, that would be Remus and Dora's child's name if it had been a girl. Totally legit.
