Thats all it took to finally bring a close to something that has been so dear to me for the past 7 years.
When it first came out, I detested Harry Potter. I didn't understand why everyone was so obsessed. Particularly my friend, Jeffrey, a fan from the beginning. I teased him for falling in love with such a dumb story.
But then something happened. I don't even remember what spurred my interest but as soon as I picked up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 3 years after it had first been published, I fell hard and fast. I knew I would never stop reading these books until the final end came in the form of a hefty book, with a beautiful orange jacket and a smooth green and yellow hardback cover.
I can't describe the effect that this series has had upon me. I know its sad that I speak so, well, obsessively about a book, or books i should say, but I am not kidding when I say that this book was that important to me.
You have to understand this is the end of one of my greatest loves. I've read a lot of books, a greater number than I can probably recall, but never have a pursued a story so diligently and unyieldingly as I have Harry Potter.
This is a great loss for me and to so many others I am sure. But it is a story that probably one of the greatest additions to the community of immortal literature. I am not going to liken this series to any of the past's greatest classics in any way but I am almost sure that it will be considered among their ranks to future generations if not our own.
I was literally sobbing when I neared, and later came to, the end of this last installment of the Harry Potter series. I can honestly say I have never cried that much for an inanimate object in my lifetime. But perhaps it really ISN'T an inanimate object for my fellow fans will attest that the adventures of Harry Potter are truly alive and real to us all. I feel as though I have just lost a good friend whom I have known for years. However, I must realize that Harry is never really lost. Perhaps once I am done coping with my own grief at the incomprehensible end of such a wonderful work, I can once again pick up Sorcerer's Stone and begin that journey that I took up so many years ago once more, and relive all the magic that has touched thousands of lives all over the world including my own.
To Harry Potter,
You will be missed.

| prom just really sucked for me. i know thats sad and all but it really did.
i didn't have a date. i thought it would be okay you know, with just all of my friends but the ones that DID dance and all that had dates and if they didn't then they had other people to socialize with.
i was just kind of on my own the entire time. floating from person to person trying to find where i could stay but i never really did until it was too late.
i should have just stayed with bree and bryan the whole time.
i also think i would have had a MUCH better time if i would have danced.
i hardly danced at all.
and i love to dance.
even if i suck.
i dont care.
this was an utter dissappointment...
rather emo.

um, well yesterday was thursday i believe and it was the day of fun that i had been planning for nearly a month with mark and such! soooo our plan was that i pick up mark at 11ish, we go pick up eric at 11:45 and do WHATEVER WE WANT. halen didnt get off of work til 5:30 so she couldnt exactly be apart of our plans until then. SOOOOO. what ended up happening was i didnt pick up mark til like 11:40....because i dunno. but when i got to mark's house and he came out with all of his presents and whatnot, he was wearing a black sweater and jeans and guess what IIII was wearing?! a black sweater and jeans....we matched. i thought it was cute.
okay soooo mark opened my present for me since i was driving and he got me the jack skellington steering wheel cover that i had been wanting! i was sooo excited. so we tried putting it on like, WHILE i was driving. which was not a good idea because it was very hard to put on....soooo we arrive at antonian at like...12ish...lol. o well eric could wait. then we didnt know what to do because i went out of the house without any makeup since i was in a rush and eric wasnt changed so we decided to go back to my house to get all pretty ^__^ soooo thats what we did. no one was in my house so we were all yelling really loud and cussing around the house at eachother from like, different floors and whatever. twas fun. i got my makeup all did up and it was COOL. and me and mark forced eric to wear black so we would ALL match! woooo black parade! jk...eric wore my sweater and scarf....*cough* homo *cough* lol. it looked good though. mark did his hair all sceneish and yeahhhh....um, we decided to go to northstar after that. so we were there like honestly from 12:30 to 6.....and MUCH happened. okay not really...but it was fun! um, first place we went was forever 21 because i wanted to go in there and look at jewelry and i found this one necklace that i just HAD to have. its just a BIG red heart on a plain long silver chain. but its cute because it reminds me of the tin man's heart from the wizard of oz. you shall see...i also bought a black and white polka dot headband. and like, after i put it on and such i looked so SCENE. lol. so we were like a scene gang. twas funny. um....where else did we go? i dunno we walked around alloottttt....we spend the majority of our time in hot topic of course being cool kids and whatnot. basically everything that i bought was from there. i spent a total of 50 bucks there because like, i bought mark's present there and halen's sooo yeah. it wasnt spent like ON ME people...jeez. um, we went to like, fast forward and journeys. made our way into hollister because mark is a hollister whore. um. where else did we go?! oh i had a macy's card for like 20 bucks so we went in there and everything is SOOOOOOOO expensivve......soooo i was like, why dont i just buy like, makeup or something? so i went to mac because they seriously have like, the funkiest and best quality makeup and like, i bought this lil tube of green eyeliner which is like the size of my PINKY for like...15 bucks. and then like, eric said he would buy my present like right there and pay for the rest of whatever i wanted so i got an eyeshadow thats like, bronze-ish but that was like 20 bucks! crazy stuff kids....but i dunno. i didnt pay for it ^____^. um, we did other stuff i guess around the mall. i saw pretzel boy *drool* um, then we left at like 6ish so we could go meet up with halen. we ended up like, going to heb first because eric is an heb whore and wanted to make fettucini alfredo at my house so we bought like all the ingredients and took it home. we went to my house cuz thats where halen was meeting us and then we left for mark's because he had to be home by seven. we were at marks house and there we decided to do our lil gift exchange.

| hmmm... my life is so incredibly boring. well, nothing at all has happened really that i feel the need to write about. friday was cool though so i guess i'll talk a bit about that. it was kayla's piano recital so i brought clothes to change into and like, me and kayla left to go pick up mark and laura, then we had to pick up eric and like, rush mark and laura home and then off to my house! there kayla practiced a bit, we ate lean pockets, and rushed back to iwhs. got kayla there at like 5:10 which was "late" so whatever. me and eric had 50 minutes to burn til the recital so we walked around school and sat in my car. 6 rolls around and me and eric are the only ones ON TIME. then bree and katy follow shortly after. and finally esther and raquel. VERO AND ANNABELLE WERE CONVENIENTLY ABSENT. psh. and then katy left to like, beat up some chick stealing quenton? puhlease katy just let him GO! well, the piano recital was actually FREAKING AWESOME. especially kayla, anne, and the asians. afterwards we went to la madeleine where i paid WAY TOO MUCH for mediocre food and ate way too much. twas a good time. AFTER THAT! we hung around iwhs which is BEAUTIFUL at night with the lights and even BETTER because it was like, freezing cold. we were being so stupid but it was SO fun. lots of pictures were taken. eric was being crazy. actually, we all were basically. we all had to PEE for some reason! and like, ughhhh. bree's mom is evil and didnt want to come get her and like, i really had to go to the bathroom and it was freezing and there was some RANDOM CAR there that freaked me out really bad. PLUS on top of EVERYTHING i was almost out of gas. so i was MAJORLY freaking. *sigh* well bree's mom came at like, some really late time. then me and eric were going to go to the quarry with nessa but i was tired and needed to get home. we ended up stopping at jack in the box because eric is a fat ass and wanted burgers and milkshakes. we ordered milkshakes and like, NEVER GOT THEM because their machine wasnt working. so we stopped at whataburger and got these MASSIVELY HUGE shakes. like, it was ridiculous.... then we went back to my house, hung out there til my parents came at like 11. then my dad drove me and him to his house to drop him off and i came back home and went to sleeep. um, yesterday nothing happened except i went to halens house at like 8ish and we did our nails, straightened hair, and did makeup even though i had NOWHERE to go. i took her to her party that she had and then drove back home where i then slept. today i did nothing. i had my cousin's 11th birthday or something which was only like, 2 hours of eating and sitting at her house and now im here, at 1:30 in the freaking morning and school is in 5 hours and i still have a ton of work to do. LIFE SUCKS. but, me and lindsay are sitting here making a plan that might possibly change our lives. but you will see. [i.hope] | | |
