Year's End
I am always surprised at the end of each year when I compare the things I wanted last year to the things I want this year. For example, my job. Last year at this time I was working my ass off at a job I dreaded waking up for. I despised my boss, I was barely making enough money to survive, and I didn’t have any sort of benefits (the joy of temp work). This year, I have a job I adore working...
I love you. But not in a “hey underpants party” or whatever grownups do when they’re in love. I love you as one loves another person they simply can’t do without.

I swore I’d marry you because of the way you were convinced you could sing the reversed part of Missy’s “Work it”.

rightaheadyoungsailor:
I like to do things the same way over and over again. Like how I will always wash my face last in the shower, or take six gulps from the water fountain, or leave before I am left. And maybe it’s because I’m scared, or maybe it’s because I know I will be too reckless….

What I really can’t believe is that I’m going through this AGAIN. I clearly remember telling myself last time that this was it.
zafk:
oh my god
Every time I’ve watched this video, I’ve laughed uncontrollably. I have even tried to think of awful things but nothing helps when that girl gets control of the mic.
That awkward moment when you forget to turn your...
Facebook First
dearoldlove:
I knew I was obsessed when I started checking your Facebook profile before my email.
Wait, this is a problem?
Some friend you are. I’ll show you awkward.
It’s not going to rule my life anymore. I have too much going on and too much going for me to let this stupid (nonexistent)THING mess me up. Tomorrow will be a good day regardless of what you (don’t) say or (don’t) do. Because my life is about me, not you.
Today I drove home singing the “Fuck You” song by Cee-Lo and “I’m Gonna Get Over You” by...
AS IF I NEEDED ANY-FUCKING-THING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT.
fucking shit. i don’t think i can do this again.
cabin fever
I’m moving tomorrow which means I had to stay in my home all day which means all of my friends are out doing fun hoodrat things and I’ve been inside all day sorting my shit into boxes and deciding what is important enough to keep and what I think someone shopping at Goodwill might like to buy.
News Fuh-lash, it sucks.
Got bored enough to watch Meet Joe Black though. I’m...
Letter
Found this gem while packing:
“I think of you, therefore I am happy. Hey Tiffany, just wanted to tell you that it was good seeing you again and to come visit more often. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, it’s strange you being hours instead of minutes away. I hope that college life is treating you well. With Love.”
Written to me freshman year of college....

Dreams
Do you ever dream about something and then it’s all you can think about? Happens to me all the time. Good and bad.

Release
I just wrote pages and pages and pages and only scratched the surface of what is happening in my head right now. I’ve done so much for myself in the last hour and I still have SO much more to go. I’m glad I found this release again. Some people have sports, some people exercise, some people throw things. I write and even if it’s bad, it makes me feel so much better. Sometimes...
ABC's Of Harry Potter
A - Avada Kedavra
This is the spell that Voldemort used on Harry. It is one of three unforgivable curses: Crucio (torture), Imperius (physical control through the mind), and Avada Kedara (death). Harry Potter is the only known wizard to have experienced all three curses and lived. He survived the Cruciatus and Killing curses at least twice and, as far as we know, the Imperius curse once. The...

Days 16-25
Day 16: 5 Favourite scenes?
For every book scene I listed the other day, it’s the same in the movie. Mostly, I don’t feel like doing this question and that’s what’s been holding me back. Maybe I’ll revisit it later.
Day 17: Favourite DADA teacher?
Everyone’s answer will be Lupin. While I respect Professor Snape now, I didn’t like him at the time. Even...
Day 15
Day 15: Severus Snape - discuss.
I’ll be the first to admit I was fooled. I thought after Snape killed Dumbledore, there was no going back. I never imagined 1. Dumbledore would plan for his own death and 2. Snape would do whatever he asked, even if it was murder. I was back and forth in every book, debating again and again whether Snape was trustworthy. By the time I got to the Deathly...
Days 11-14
Because I like this game too much to wait until tomorrow. Also because question 15 deserves a full post to itself.
Day 11: Favourite passage or line in each book?
Sorcerer’s Stone - “Yer a wizard Harry.”
Chamber of Secrets - I don’t remember the lines exactly and I’m too lazy to go grab the book, but it’s near the end. When Harry finally gets down to the...
Days 6-10
Day 6: Quidditch Position?
I think I’d make an excellent Seeker (and I’d like to be the most important member of the team), but I’m probably more of a Keeper. I’m not much for speed, but I can block a shot or two.
Day 7: Favourite Class?
Transfiguration. Followed closely by a Lupin DADA.
Day 8: Favourite Harry Potter pick-up line?
It’s a tie. “My...
Days 1-5
Day 1: Who are your top 3 favourite characters, and why?
Ginny Weasley. Smart. Not quite as smart as Hermione, but there’s a reason for that. I mean, she gets Harry Potter in the end so she’s got other things on her mind. Quick-thinking. She usually comes up with the great ideas fast. Like when Harry needed to get into Umbridge’s office to talk to Sirius. and that wonderful...
Harry Potter 50 Day Challenge
I’m going to complete the Harry Potter 50 day challenge. Today is July 5th. I have 10 days to complete them all, so that’s 5 per day. I failed at the photo challenge, but I wasn’t really into it anyway. Harry Potter is something I’m so into it’s not even funny. Also I prefer to do 5 a day because who can really stop after 1? Here it goes.

I am so frustrated right now. I wish I could tell you all why, but I can’t. I just had this thought: “I wish there was someone totally unconnected to the people in my life that I could just bitch to and get it all out. Then I would feel better without hurting anyone’s feelings.”
That, my friends, would be a therapist.
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so...

Blogging.
I suppose this is an “I’m baaaaaaaack” post. I don’t have much to say other than I bought a new computer today. It’s not fancy schmancy or much at all. It’s a laptop and it does what I need it to do. And it was a reasonable price.
Turns out I’m a little out of practice flirting with tech guys to get discounts though.

Behind.
I’ve never claimed to be good at keeping in touch. So you can’t really blame me for my lack of internet presence lately. Aside from my Twitter (which is mostly accessed by phone), I don’t post online anymore. It used to be a daily occurrence.
There are so many new developments to tell you all about that I certainly can’t catch up in one night and you don’t want to...

Change of Pace
Change of pace. I’m a little behind on the photo thing anyway.
I want to talk for a minute about something that’s been bothering me. I don’t want to mention any names, but I’d like to tell you about a friend of mine.
Saturday morning, I woke up at 5:45am so that I could get to work by 7. While waking up in bed, I usually grab my ipod touch and check my...

Day 12: A picture of something you love
It’s appropriate that today’s topic is something I love. (Happy Valentine’s Day!)
If you know where this picture was taken, you know enough. If you don’t, then you have some learning to do. The photographer is standing on the second floor (I think) of South Building on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill. The building straight across...

Day 11: A picture of something you hate
The show: fantastic. I love being scared. Scary movies are my favorite kind of movies. I hate the dark though because I’m SO afraid of it. I don’t like not knowing what’s there. One of the most popular would you rathers is would you rather be blind or deaf? Absolutely 100% all the time, I choose deaf. If something ever happens and I...
