Dumbledore's Man Through and Through

3:55pm: Ok so I haven't updated in a while 'cause I've been busy with the school play, which is over.

My purpose of this entry is about HARRY POTTER and the GOBLET OF FIRE, which I have seen 3 times. I got to see it at midnight! Woot!( Read more... )

One more day of school then Thanksgiving break!!!

8:05pm: Yeah, I haven't been online for a while. Bear with me. My computer has gone disfunctional.

Anyway, yay for Franz! Saw their concert in San Francisco last Thursday. SQUEE!

I'll be back regularly as soon as possible. Sorry. :\

7:24pm: Ok, I'm pissed. Probably not for any normal reason. Let me explain.

( Read more if you like. It's kind of stupid, haha. )

6:09pm: Ack, I've been negecting my LJ friends list for the last few days. I blame it on school and the fact that my sister never lets me on the internet.

Franz Ferdinand is coming to San Francisco soon, and I'm hoping to get tickets when they start selling them on Sunday via Ticketmaster. I don't care if the concert is on a Thursday and that I have school the next day. It'll be a bitch, but I don't care. Hahaha.

That's it for now.

4:46pm: ( Quiz result )

5:36pm: ( Just a random quiz. )

12:53pm: I change my MSN Messenger email. It's now sirius-padfoot-black@hotmail.com, if you want to add me. And I downloaded the new version of it, so it looks really cool. *shrug*

It's Saturday. I'm bored, and there's nothing to do. Oh well, at least my friend is coming back tomorrow! :D

I need to go to the bookstore and buy that damn summer reading book. I've decided to read the 500-page book instead of the 300-page book 'cause the latter is so boring, I can't stand it. It's an Asian book, kind of like the Joy Luck Club, I suppose. And being Asian, I find that stuff rather dull. I read the first two pages and thought, "What the fuck is this shite?!" So I threw it aside, telling myself never to open the book again. I'm going to try my luck with the 500-page book, which is The Monkey Wrench Gang. Has anyone read it at all? I just think the fact that it's 500 pages is intimidating, especially since I'll have a week to read it. It's no Harry Potter, let me tell you.

I spent about three hours last night writing my Harry Potter life story. It starts from my first memories of encountering HP and will end with recent events, haha. I stayed up until 3 am doing it, and I'm not even done. It took up 12 pages in my notebook, so it's quite long, I think. I really just wrote it down for my own benefit, in case my memory gets worse as the years go by. Yeah, I'm 16, so what am I worrying about? I guess I was just bored and couldn't get to sleep. :P

I've been having dreams where I'm back in school. Why is it that the only recurring dreams I ever have are in regards with school? It's quite depressing. I only have a little over a week left, and my life is over. God, if I was in Hogwarts, I'd be attending my 6th year. *sigh* Can't say that now, can I?

Yesterday I downloaded and watched episodes of Fruits Basket. :D So much fun. That was the majority of my day, watching anime. That means I didn't get around to doing math homework, but I DID do the first chapter the night before. I guess I'll have to double up tonight. Ah well.

2:36pm: This is great. :D
Ok, I'm going to whore this lovely fanfiction, er, at least that's what I think it is. I found it on the FicNiffler's Recs on fictionalley.org. (I didn't write it, mind.)


Fic Link: "Fact and Fiction"

Summary: There's more to the Harry Potter books than meets the eye. In fact, they've been cunningly designed to keep a secret hidden. I'm going to reveal that secret to you. The Ministry will have my head for it, no doubt.

Author's Note: I’m posting this for you Muggles to read at a great personal risk, so you had better appreciate it. Seriously, if the Ministry ever uncovers my identity, I’m sure they’ll have my head for this bit of work. On that note: if you happen to work for the Ministry, and happen to be reading this, I implore you to let me keep my head if you ever find me. Please don’t ever find me…but if you just have to, take into consideration that I happen to like my head atop my neck, where it currently rests.


Convincing enough for you to read? I think my view on the Potterverse has been completely warped. :P It's a very clever piece of work. So, go read.

12:24pm: Happy birthday! Woot.
( A very special birthday :D )

1:23pm: ( Long survey. )

I swear, I'm getting tired of babysitting. I'd be okay with it if she wasn't crying all the bloody time, but that's what babies do. It can't be helped, and it's getting on my nerves. Ugh.

My friend is coming back from Michigan sometime next week. God, it's been a long summer without her, but it's also been a short one 'cause school is in two weeks.

Seriously, I think I've spent this summer with myself more than anything. And I didn't care. I guess I'm just growing out of dependence for others to entertain me. I don't expect anything from people. What are they to me, anyway? I've been out with friends once a week, despite it being summertime. It's kind of sad from the sound of it, but whatever.

I want really want to go shopping. Ugh, I need to yank money out of someone.

Oh, I've had a revelation. Next summer I'll apply to be a camp counselor somewhere. It seems like fun. Besides, I need extracurricular shite.

12:02pm: Stole this from phantom_wallace and GJ.

List 5 Reasons you're a Geek

1. Harry Potter has been my life for the past 5 years. Since book 7 won't be released for at least another 2 years (by then I will be 18), HP will be the defining thing of my teenagehood. How much more geeky can you get?

2. I can recite the Fellowship of the Ring from beginning to end. I'm still working on the Two Towers and the Return of the King, though I'm quite close.

3. I dressed up for the HBP release party. GRYFFINDOR PRIDE!

4. I like Star Wars. 'Nuff said.

5. I can't live without the internet for too long. How sad, haha.

9:55pm: God, I've been very fickle with layouts lately. I've changed it to Potterpuff!Remus/Tonks. Heeeeee!!!

I might change it to something else. It depends.

(Proud RL/NT shipper since OOTP.)

11:00am: Finished book last night. Quick update. Will write more in the future.

( Harry Potter SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. (Death, my OTP, and R.A.B. speculation) )

That’s all for now.

12:18am: HIATUS
( HIATUS )

8:44pm: Ok, so this may very well be my last entry until I'm done with HBP, haha. It really depends on when I'm leaving tomorrow. The initial plan was to spend the whole day at Borders and hang around there. We'll see how things turn out.

IT'S SO BLOODY HOT OVER HERE. I'm rotting. Stupid California.

Anyway, my robe seems to be going rather well. My dad just has to sew on the sleeves and whatnot. I GOT MY GRYFFINDOR TIE IN THE MAIL TODAY! Yay! It's pretty. I'm not sure when my patch will come, though. I'm hoping sometime tomorrow, but it looks shady. :\ At least I'll have my wand with me.

I wonder why Jo hasn't updated her site for weeks. You'd think that she would've said SOMETHING by now.

Ugh, I can't think of anything else to say.

11:12am: HP nerd, heh.
Hm. I had a BAD case of insomnia last night... Or this morning... Er, yeah. To get to the point, I only went to sleep at 6:30 am. I've no idea what kept me up. And I'm not drowsy or anything. Though, I was starving all night, and the only reason I woke up from my short sleep was because I was starting to have hunger pains. I re-read a few chapters of OOTP, though. :) 7 days, 12 hours.

Seen the back cover for HBP yet? Where the Dark Mark is positioned GREATLY concerns me. :\

I've been very careful to avoid any possible spoilers for HBP. I don't know about any of you, but I don't know anything about this next book and I'd like to keep it that way.

I had a few revelations during my insomniac phase some hours ago. Some of it was quite enlightening.


Anyway, yesterday I went to the mall with my mates. Then we went to the fabric store for costuming. I didn't get anything, but now the wheels in my head are turning. (Haha, Gaston.) And it's about time too. Then I went to Borders with Erin, and we spent a good 3 and half hours lingering there. It was fun. We were reading German and Japanese children's books. Then I found Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis, which is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Latin. Woot! It's even the Bloomsbury edition! So, I bought that, even though I don't understand Latin... yet. I was also considering getting a HP book in Spanish to improve my own learning, but I decided that Latin was way much cooler. Hehe.

I'm going to be just like Jo Rowling and speak Latin at home and with people for fun. God, I love her.

Oh, yes, and I was very disheartened by the news in London yesterday. :( It's tragic. People are so stupid.

All right, that's all. I better start doing research if I plan to have a costume for the midnight party on Friday, haha.

Oh, yeah. And I bought a new purse-type bag thing (haha). Yay! I'm in love with it. I've put pins of Franz Ferdinand and Alex and the hobbitses on it! :D

9:07pm: ( Hehe! Franz Ferdinand news. )

... Either my computer is being stupid, or GJ isn't working properly at the moment.

7:45pm: ( Just a quiz )

5:13pm: It's been a while since I last updated. I don't really have much to say 'cause nothing has been going on, other than Erin's birthday this past Saturday and Omonigho's departure to Michigan.

Eh, I'm just updating to verify that I'm alive.

I'm bored, though. Very, very bored. I'm so bored that I actually watched MTV today. Shudder. I watched 2 hours of Punk'd and TRL. Shudder again. How did it come to this?!

I've realized that I really, really like Finding Neverland. I watched it again in the late hours of Saturday night. I don't know what it is about that movie. Maybe it's Johnny's Scottish accent. Or perhaps the movie just makes me feel happy to immerse myself in imagination. After that I watched the beginning of POTC.

I left home Sunday morning at 5 a.m. to catch Omonigho at the airport before she left. (I tried to pull an all-nighter that night. I ended up sleeping for 3 hours.) Alas, I didn't get the chance to see her because airports are stupid like that. Airports should die. I don't know how they work because I've never been on a plane. How sad.

5:12pm: I'm doing fine on my own.
Oh bloody hell, I'm so damn bored that I could gouge my eyes out. Thankfully I asked my dad to take me to Blockbuster 'cause otherwise I'd have nothing else to do. At least Blockbuster gives me the hope of having something to do. Hopefully I can get a video game to keep me busy.

I think I'm going to take up fencing this summer. I'm looking into it. I admit, I'm not athletic, and I don't know what I'm getting myself into. But if it means that I can learn something I'm interested in and lose a few pounds, then I'd do it.

The back of my neck hurt yesterday. I may have pulled a few muscles from going on the same roller coaster twice in one day. It's better now, though. I was afraid it could have been something more serious.

My sister's at a friend's house today. Lucky. I swear, once I have the ability to drive on my own, I'd go as far away as I can, and find something interesting to do by myself.

I finished reading this manga book I bought on Friday. It's called Fruits Basket. Apparently, it's really popular among the anime/manga fandom. I really like it. I have to get the next in the series. And for DN Angel too. I hate spending money. I'm starting to run out of it. Well, I don't suppose others would exactly consider it "running out," but I'm not gaining any at the moment. I don't like having human wants and desires. Things would be so much easier if I was void of those characteristics.

5:42pm: We'd be living a lie.
Wow, I've been really getting bored with the internet. It's kind of odd saying that, but it's true. There's really nothing much to do on it anymore. Once I get onto a computer I check up on all the regular things, but after that, there's nothing. I sit and stare at the computer for minutes trying to think of something to do. I suppose it's partly a good thing 'cause it means that I'm starting to have more of a life other than the internet, hah. :P

It's in middle of June, and it's raining outside. It's not common for it to be raining during the summer in California. Maybe this is just a sign that it's going to get really hot soon. Aw, no. I don't like heat. I wonder if this continues through tomorrow 'cause I'm supposedly hanging out with my mates. Something to look forward to, I guess. Here's to hoping that I get a lightsaber tomorrow.

My sister is playing this God-awful hip-hop/R&B song in another browser. I don't think she'd be happy with me if I stopped the music. I can't stand it, though. It has the tune from Titanic in the background, and they're rapping some "lovey-dovey" crap over it. [Eye-roll.]

4:59pm: Love lifts us up where we belong.
I'M FREE!!! No more school! No more exams!

For the first few hours of my summer holiday I decided to go out with some schoolmates to Union Landing and hang out. We ate at In-N-Out, and I got a stomach ache from eating too fast. :\ So the majority of them went to watch a movie, and due to the lack of time and the fact that nothing is out at the cinema other than Star Wars, I went to Borders with Cristina. We were looking around and being entertained. I saw that Moulin Rouge only cost $12.99, so I decided to buy it. Yay! I finally own the movie! I've been having an urge to watch it for the past two weeks.

Then she and I walked across the street because I realized just today that Burger King has Star Wars toys in the kids meals. I saw that the honors English teacher, who is awesomely cool, had some BK toys on display on his desk. He had a cool Darth Vader one that opens up with an Anakin toy inside!!! I was so amazed that I had to have one. (Alas, they didn't have it at the BK I went to.) He also had an Obi-Wan(!), a General Grievous, and a Princess Leia. So when I bought my kids meal I got a TIE Fighter and exchanged it for a C-3PO. I sound like such a nerd. Cristina kept calling me one. :D I'm going to ask my dad if he can buy me a Burger King kids meal tomorrow or something. Guess what fast food restaurant I'll be at all weekend? Muahahaha!

So when I got home I watched part ofMoulin Rouge, sang along, and squeed at Ewan and all his cuteness. Hee! :) I paused the movie to go online.

Gasp, I finally have time to finish reading ROTS! To add on to my geekdom, while I was at Borders I was looking at the Star Wars books for kids. I was so close to buying a couple of them, but I had to resist the urge.

I'm going to Great America next Saturday with some schoolmates. I'm kind of hesitant about going to the waterpark portion of the themepark because I can't swim and haven't done so in years. Oh well. I just have to satisfy my long-awaited need of an adrenaline rush.

That's all for now.

1:34pm: Tee-hee. I changed my layout: shite_scheisse. Credit is in my userinfo.

Five exams down; two to go. Ah, the year is ending and I'm about ready for it.

My sister's friend has yet to return my Star Wars Trilogy. I miss it. I also want to watch the Phantom Menace. I haven't seen that movie in so long.

One of my friends is leaving for six weeks of the summer to go to Michigan. She's going to spend it in the University of Michigan 'cause she won this essay contest thing. Kind of like a scholarship program. Anyway, I'm really happy for her, but I'm really going to miss her. She's even going to miss the release of the Half-Blood Prince. *sigh*

And my other friend is currently away in Lake Tahoe. God knows when she's coming back.

Then my third friend always seems to be saying that she's "not sure if she's going to be here" on certain weeks of the summer. Bloody hell. Am I the only person who ISN'T going anywhere? Yes, I am.

I should have become a link leader at school (it's this program at school that helps high school freshman throughout their first year). However, I'm probably not eligible because I haven't done my service hours. I'll ask if I could join in senior year 'cause I want to do it.

Tomorrow is my English final. I hate English finals. The only thing that I heard is that the essay is about irony. That's all I've got. I'm not very good at writing under pressure. Also, my creative foods test is tomorrow, and studying for that will only take me FIVE hours. It doesn't seem like a hard class, but you'd be surprised at how much science and memorization goes into it. It's a bitch.

4:03pm: Well, I haven't updated here in a while, but currently I am studying for final exams. I'm not liking it at all. However, the one thing that's keeping me sane is the fact that I only have four more days before summer starts, which brings me ever closer to Harry Potter. *sigh* Just four days.

Anyway, I should get back to geometry. Boo.
