Fangirl Moment!

    
     So if you haven't already heard (I don't know how you wouldn't, probably have to live under a rock or something) the new Harry Potter movie is coming out this weekend, Friday the 19th to be exact. It's the first part of the final book and I've been super excited for it to come out since like... like after I saw the one before it. Here's a trailer for the movie if you haven't seen one yet.

     Anyways, about my title. Well I found out I'll be in the city for Friday and D and I managed to buy some tickets online for the show. I have no doubt this is going to be flippin awesome!!! I am so excited I can barely wait for Friday to get here already so we can go!

     My all time favourite character from the books/movies is Ron Weasley. He's just so funny and awkward and... well to put it bluntly, he's hot. I plan on soaking up enough of his amazingness to last me until July when the second part will be coming out. Other characters worth mentioning: Dobby, Fred and George, Luna, Neville, Hagrid, Hedwig, Professor Mcgonagall, Tonks, and Remus. There are more, but I don't want to list them forever.

     Only thing about this is I'll probably end up crying in the theatre again (yes again, Up and Dear John were really sad movies!) because I cried while reading the books, and I get really into movies emotionally. *note to self: bring tissues* Also it's probably gonna be super packed, it is after all the opening day and it's the weekend, so I'll definitely have to get to the auditorium like 30 minutes early, maybe more.

Hope everyone has good weekends!

Oops, hehehe....

     Yeah, so I haven't been writing here.... mostly because I suck at sticking with the things that I'm doing. Sorry. I don't think that I really want to write about myself so much right now so I'm going to try something a little different.
     Just this past weekend I ended up watching somewhere around 15 movies. They were mostly horrors and thrillers of varying quality. I'm going to review a couple of them and rate them out of 10, if I like doing this I might just make it a more regular thing.
     First up we have Tormented (2009). Over all it was a fairly good movie, it had a plot I felt was fairly original, but also relatable. It takes place in a highschool with the classic "popular" kids and the more conservative goodie-two-shoes girl who gets mixed up with them and a ghost. The filming was fine, in some places the acting seemed fake and the ghost wasn't really to my liking, as the people could actually touch it. I won't say too much about it so as to not ruin the movie if you would like to see it. Also be warned there are a couple bloody scenes, but that's to be expected in a horror I suppose. Rating: 5/10
     Next we'll look at Eden Lake (2008). I really enjoyed this movie is a sick sort of twisted way. The story revolves around a couple staying at Eden Lake getting tormented by a group (or should I say gang?) of kids. This movie really got my adrenaline pumping, it had a lot of suspense and a good amount of gore. I think the thing I liked the most about this was that it is completely possible to get in the same situation if you happened to cross the wrong group of people. The ending was really good, but a little bit expected, not that it took anything away from the movie as a whole. Rating: 7/10
     Finally I'll review Drag me to Hell (2009). I couldn't resist talking about this one for the soul reason that it sucked so much. The storyline was at best: stupid, the acting seemed really fake and the movie wasn't scary at all. The only part I flinched at was when the main girl got thrown up on by an old lady and when the main girl killed her cat (I really love animals). I did feel slightly sorry for the main girl's boyfriend, but really the girl got what she deserved throughout the movie. Rating: 2/10
     Ciao!

Rant

     I wasn't planning on making a post today, but I really need to vent.

     First of all I just finished watching an episode of True Blood. I don't want to give anything away, but it's about vampires and a telepathic girl and a bunch of other crazy things. If you're interested in the show I won't say anything important besides the fact that it's really, really good. Be warned though, there is swearing, nudity, and some blood and gore. Anyways, the reason I wanted to rant about that is because one of my favourite characters dies in it. We actually two of my favourite characters die and that sucks. I always like the characters that end up dying. :(

     And it gets worse. On top of that I'm totally getting sick. It's probably from taking a walk on the weekend down the rail road tracks. But anyways, I feel like total crap. My throat is sore, I feel really tired and I keep getting headaches.

     Finally, today I was blasted in chemistry about not finishing my homework because a unit test is coming up in a few days. And guess what I did today? I forgot my chemistry review at school. I feel so stupid I want to punch myself in the face or something. I do have some time to get it done tomorrow, but my work is going to be rushed and I hate rushing my work.

     Oh, and this is less important, but I forgot my ipod at home today as well. I had to spend the whole bus ride home listening to some smoker talk about how many times he's gotten high. It was super annoying because I had charged my ipod the whole night before specifically so I could use my ipod the whole next week. Anyways thanks for listening to me unload my crap.

Cheers!

Thoughts

     So I have a jumble of thoughts all swirling around in my head right now and I need to put them down somewhere, and what better place then here?
     First, I'm not sure what it is, but I feel like something has happened to me, or changed me, but I have no clue what it is... my outlook on life perhaps? In any case, everything just feels different then before in some way, everything seems to have a new quality to it. I'm probably doing a horrible job describing this, but it's really difficult to do. And this whole thing is bothering me, I want to know why I feel like this, but I have no real way to figure it out.
     Second, my teacher today said something that really struck me. He said "If is the biggest word in the english language." or something along those lines. I think it really stuck with me because it's so true. What if. If only. These are both statements that can have a huge impact on, well, everything. They can make dreamers out of people and scientists, explorers and philosophers out of dreamers. If truely is a big word.
     I've also for some reason or another been going through a creative/artistic streak. I've never considered myself to be very creative before because I never felt very original in anything that I've made. I always felt like I was copying some one else's ideas. The main reason behind this probably stemming from the fact that I never really felt like I knew who I was. I won't go into major details, but my theory behind that is that a person is made up of little bits and pieces of the people around them, the people who influence them, and the people who they admire. This made me face the reality that, despite everyone being different, nobody is truely their own person. Anyways back to the main point, I got a little carried away, but what I was trying to say was that I've been busy making a bunch of really cool artsy things.
     Well there was a bunch of other stuff I would have liked to say here, but alas I have other things to do and places to be so I'll have to cut it off here for today.
     Toodles!

Random Update

     So my parents have finally decided that they aren't going to torture me for the next 2 years to finish my piano lessons up to level 7. The only reason I was doing it in the first place was to get an extra credit for highschool, but it was never really worth it for me. I am at level 5 right now, I just recently didn't pass my level 6 exam. I have mixed feelings on this right now. I guess I'm a bit happy, I mean who wouldn't be after they are finally released from the thing that they hated most. At the same time though, I'm not sure if I should feel a bit disappointed that I didn't stick with it till the end. Will I regret this in the future? Will this affect my mindset for the rest of my life? I guess I'll just have to wait and find out... Of course just because I stopped for now doesn't mean that I can't go back and take it up if I want, but really the chances of that happening are slim to none.
     On a different note, I recently discovered this really neat thing called steampunk. I think that it really interests me because it combines my love of victorian style fashion and technology. It also has this sort of fantasy/sci-fi/alternate timeline feel to it. I am definitely considering making some steampunk goggles, they would be wicked.

     Now that I really think about it, I probably liked steampunk all along, I just never really had a name for it. For instance several movies in my favourites list would be: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 9, several Studio Ghibli movies and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. These could all be considered steampunk, or at least they have some steampunk qualities(in my opinion anyways). I think it's really cool how we can go our whole lives liking something without even knowing that a lot of other people like it too and it even as it's own name and everything.
     Ta ta for now everyone!

P.S.-You guys should definitely check out those movies sometime, they are amazing!

Blog About Blogs

     The first post for anything is always the hardest for me so I'll keep this nice and short. For now I will use the name K and I'll be writing here from now on. Thoughts, ideas, stories, links to things I like, anything and everything I can think of will from this day forward be found here in a physical form. Well, it isn't really physical, but you get the drift. Hopefully.
     To be honest, I'm not sure how this blog will turn out or even if anyone will ever read it, I know I never read other people's blogs. What I do know is that I will try my hardest to keep this blog going and even if I think that my writing might sound weird to other people, I will still post it.
     Anyways, I'm tired so I'll be heading off to bed, but before I go I want you to check out >>>>>this.<<<<< It's my friend's blog that she also started just recently. She's a really awesome, kind and smart person and I know that whatever she ends up writing on her blog will leave a lasting impression so you should definitely go read it!
     Bye for now!
