14 Hours Later




Pottermore!! Again...

Still no email...and it's 4 in the morning. I'm frightened. Someone took a picture of their email and it says in order to be considered one of the first million, you have to validate your username/email address.
....
....
....
I CAN'T VALIDATE WITHOUT THE EMAIL!!!!!



Please pottermore, don't toy with my emotions.

Pottermore!!

It took three tries of capturing that magic quill (for some reason the registration sheet wouldn't show up) but I'm registered!


Now to wait for that email. Which according to the help site, could take several weeks to come in.

 

But I'm willing to wait people!

Right when I'm feeling down in the dumps. My best friend calls me to wish me happy birthday again. Somehow she knew I would need a laugh and she gave it to me. Thank you =)

It's my birthday...

and I'm not all that happy. I had been planning what I was going to write all day and it went from:

" Today was a pretty awesome day! And it's my first birthday I'm sharing on blogger! YAAAAAAY!"

to...

"This day sucked, like any other day. I just want to go to sleep."

Today wasn't really my day. It's my birthday right? I'm supposed to be a little bit selfish, right? I turned 19, my last year as an official teenager. But no one seems to care.

Today was basically any other day: all about Matt (my brother).

He had an instant attitude all day. Talked back to my mom and stuff, whined and groaned about how my mom offered to buy me a lava lamp (which I didn't want nor need. I declined politely of course) when we went to the store. Bitched and moaned because he wanted pizza, which he got (while I on the other hand just wanted tacos. Didn't get that).

Basically, it was like my opinion and feelings did not matter today. Just like any other day.

And now I found out my cousins are coming to my grandma's to "celebrate" my birthday. I should be excited, but I'm not. It just means drama drama drama.

God, I just want to go to sleep.

The only plus side is that I bought myself a Glee messenger bag and two shirts. Doesn't really even the balance does it?

I haven't forgotten

the fact that my mom said she wishes I would leave home already. She has said it multiple times in the past few weeks. She said it yesterday as well.

And I haven't forgotten.

What do I say about that? How am I supposed to react? She's not saying it in a joking manner. She actually says it to not only hurt me, but to express the truth. She does not want me here. And I'm really starting not to want to be here either.

I have exactly 24 days before I'm back on campus. I wish time would move a little bit faster.

I Met Tom Felton!!!

So yesterday my friend Stephanie, Melissa, and I went to the theater where Tom Felton was going to do pictures and autographs. He was scheduled to be there at 12pm. We showed up at 8am, during a thunder storm. And we weren't the first ones there.



And we thought we were crazy. Anywho, we had fun waiting for him, playing cards, singing songs and whatnot.

What was awesome was that Tom actually showed up around 11:30.



He came early knowing we were waiting for him in the pouring rain and lightning!! That wonderful man!

The line was huge, and the rain stopped about the time we got inside the theater. We walked in and we could already see the top of his head near the back of the building.

I'll get straight to the point. I got up to him, and he turned to me and said "Hello sweetheart"

I was totally tongue-tied. I could barely say hi to him. You don't understand he is my first celebrity crush, and I still love him. Now, I know he probably called a lot of the girls sweetheart, but I didn't care. He looked at me and said to me!



I was able to get a picture with him and it's already framed in my Harry Potter picture frame. I also took pictures of him while I was waiting and I short video of him signing autographs.
Basically, it was one of the happiest days of my life. I will cherish this day and my picture forever.

The Strangest Dream

Okay, I woke up about ten minutes ago and I had to tell someone about my wacky dream. I remember about 95% of it and everything I'm going to tell you is what really happened (in the dream of course)

So my friend and I walk into a movie theater on Sunday to see Tom Felton (this part is true in real life. I'm seeing him this Sunday!!) and when we get there it's not really crowded. Apparently I'm one of the first to get there. So we go over to give our tickets and someone (this is part of the 5% I don't remember) who I know buys a photograph for Tom to sign. But instead of waiting for him to sign it, the person signs "Draco" in huge letters on the back. At that moment Tom Felton walks by and kind of gives a "What the hell?" sort of expression but then walks away.

I enter the "meeting" room. Somehow I am chosen to be the first person to take the picture with Tom. He gives me a hug (sort of like a drunk, fall over you type hug. Odd) and pulls me over to the camera. But instead of posing with me, he tells me how to stand to face the camera and then pulls someone else out of the small crowd that has gathered. And it was Darren Criss! He makes him pose for the picture as well. Then, music starts playing and Tom tags Darren and he starts to dance. It's the strangest thing! After the song ends Tom says "Alright, I have another game for us. I want you, you, you, (he's pointing at people in the crowd), Darren, (my name), and you." So we get into this big circle and music starts again. I don't know what's going on because someone wraps their arms around my waist and I shriek. It turns out it was Mark Salling (^___^). He just smiles and walks out the room.

This is when I realize I can't remember where I put my purse. I see my friend walking with it and he puts it on a chair. I go over and I look through it because I can't find the ticket to see HP7 part 2. So now I'm freaking out because I bought the tickets online and not only mine but two of my friends (this is the truth). I tell my friend that I need to go back home to get the ticket. He says okay, and when I'm walking out of the theater I see the other friend who I bought the ticket for. Somehow she's allowed into the movie but I still leave and grab a bus home.

There's a little blurred area here on how I got home and got the ticket. Afterwards, I get on another bus and I tell them that I need to get to a bowling alley (why? I don't know) and they're like which one. I guess the boiling alley is next to the theater and I can't remember where that is. When I start to cry because I realize I won't be able to get back, I turn around on the bus and see Cory Monteith and Lea Michelle. They tell me it's going to be okay and let the bus driver lady know where I'm going.

So when we get there it's super dark. It doesn't look anything like the theater I went to, but it is. Just on a really huge hill and now it looks more like a castle (Hogwarts?). I magically (5% here) turn into some sort of secret agent because I jump my way onto trees and on the roof to get in through the window to the "meeting" room. It's empty and I realize I never got my picture with Tom Felton. I panic and when I leave the room my clothes just disappear. But I'm not worried about it. I just grab a random towel and keep moving. I run out the main door to find my purse on the stairs. Grabbing it I hear Corey ask Lea what in the world I'm doing, but I never heard an answer.

I go back into the theater and I had the guy behind the counter my ticket. He gives me three pieces of construction paper (???). I ask where I can get my picture and he says the photographer went with some group to the gas station to get a corndog (hahaha. I swear that happened). I leave the ticket booth, but that's when he tells me my sisters and my dad wants to talk to me. Turns out I'm a Charlie's Angel, and my sisters are Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu (I'm not Cameron Diaz though). We discuss about breaking into a vault that appears to hold my picture with Tom Felton.

Blur blur blur...We're outside the vault! And we need to make an explosive to bust in. We search around the theater for all the equipment (oh I forgot to mention I got my clothes back after talking to the ticket man. Just thought I should mention). Before we can set it up, the theater owner walks in and either he looks very similar to him or he was Jason Bateman. He tells me the photographer forgot to put the pictures online and since I wasn't here to pick mine up, he decided to mail it to me to "Mckinkley, Ohio" (I kid you not. And no, I don't even live in Ohio. All glee there).

That's when I wake up. Wonderful right? I think this tells me that not only does Tom Felton, Harry Potter, Darren Criss, the cast and story of Glee, and randomly Charlie's Angels destroy my waking life...they take over my dreams as well.

July 15. The End of My Life

So....I saw Harry Potter last night/this morning! Bloody brilliant I must say. Absolutely stunning. Words can't come to me. Of course I can come up with a bunch of things that were different from the book, things were cut out, blah blah this and blah blah that. But overall I thought it was an excellent way to end the beautiful world that J.K.Rowling created. However it's not over.

Not really.



But I wasn't able to see the midnight show. It was sold out, so my friend and I watched it at 3am. To pass the time, we saw Horrible Bosses. Good movie by the way. I laughed so much.

I want to write more about Harry Potter, but I think i'll just cut it short. I expected myself to be crying my brain out at the end, but I didn't. Im not saying that it was bad or anything, I just felt they didn't make it emotional when it came to the deaths and the fact that it's over. I cried more at the end of part one because they showed Dobby dying. The director made me feel emotionally attached and I wept. This time, they didn't do that. It's one of the only disappoints I have for this one.

But again. An excellent movie overall. I'll see it again. I am on the 24th =)

Excitement is Building!

And the coutdown has started. We're at 5 days now. 5 more days until the final Harry Potter film is out. You have no idea how happy and miserable I am right now. I'm glad that it's finally here, but the fact that Harry Potter will officially be over is a little devastating. I've grown up with Harry and the Golden trio, Dumbledore, Severus, Draco, Neville, Luna, Remus, the Weasley Twins, and so many more. How can I go on without them? (dramatic tear falls)

So, I promised a post yesterday and yeah...I got very distracted and, what was I doing? What in the world did I do after work? I have no idea. Sorry to disappoint but I have no extravagent excuse. I think I just forgot.

But the point is, here I am! Now, my fourth was pretty amazing. Since it was on a Monday my family decided to have our traditional July 4th barbeque on that Sunday. It's my favorite holiday because not only is there a bunch of fireworks but my entire family gets together and we have a great time. This doesn't always happen during Christmas or Thanksgiving, but it always works out on the 4th. The food was fantastic. I helped make the potato salad this year. No mac and cheese because my aunt made spaghetti, which was okay. We didn't take out the volleyball net this year (sadness) but that's because it was pretty hot out and no one wanted to do that much moving around.

We did color! I know, an 18 year old, almost 19 year old, college student is coloring. Yes, yes I am. And I'm proud to say it too. When you work at a daycare for the summers, you get used to playing with blocks, legos, dolls, the little kitchen and fake food, and of course coloring. There just happen to be small kids in my family and they love to color. And even if they weren't there, I probaly still would have been coloring. It's fun!

What else do I have to say? I talked about Harry Potter, which I'm seeing opening night. Oh! I didn't mention something but I'll tell you all a bit later. It's amazing and I'm literally driving my mom insane becaues it's all  I talk about. Hmm what else? I talked about the 4th, and a little about my job. I think that's all I have for now.

Farewell readers!

Annoyance Never Dies...

no matter how hard you push that knife in. Why do I start out my post like this? Blame watching Supernatural
(episode where Dean and Sam take care of the imortal doctor, about 3 weeks before Dean's expiration date)

Anywho, I'm annoyed if you haven't guessed. I have a younger brother, seven years younger (so he's 11 if you don't want to do the math) and he pisses me off all the time. But lately, he hasn't only been getting on my nerves but als my mom's. He has an attitude problem and he's spoiled to the bone. How he ended up that way, Merlin only knows (yeah I said Merlin).

But today he annoyed my mom by not getting ready for his Police Cadet Progam Graduation. My mom needed to go to work so she couldn't go, so I had to and take pictures. My brother wasn't happy about that and he made his feelings known. My mom grew tired of it, I dropped her off at work and when I came back he wasn't ready. We only had a half hour to get there and I needed to get ready and change clothes (I was still in my pjs when I  dropped my mom off). So, of course we were almost late. And the whole time he was just giving me attitude and whining the whole time.

Just...ugh! You get tired of hearing it, you know? And this happens all the time. And my mom just told us to pretend the other doesn't exist. I personally don't think this the best solution but hey, I'll do it. I'm doing it right now. It's not going to last, I already know it. My mom will come in after work, call in a family meeting and then we'll have to listen to the same lecture on how we only have each other and we need to fix our relationship. The same old same old.

I don't really know what to do about all of this. What am I to do? I've tried being nice and that doesn't work. I tried ignoring him and that doesn't work. I think we're just going to be at each other's necks for the rest of our lives.
