Procrastinating

I should be writing my articles for the school newspaper, but I'm stuck. I hate writing about sports, so I don't even know why they have me writing about them, but I will do it anyway. Anyway, I've found that if I try to write about something completly diffrent, then I will eventually come up with a good idea for the thing that I am suppossed to be writing, which is where this blog comes in.

Today hasen't been the best, not one bit. I actualy felt like I was about to have a panic attack at one point.

Nothing truley horriendous happend, there wasn't some huge tradegy, it was just little things piling ontop of little things and today the pile decided to topple over on me.

This morning I went to school early to help finish our ratapult. I also needed to go take a test for Mrs. Foster, but I thought that my partner needed me, so I decided to stay and help.

Morning classes go well, sort of. English wasn't bad, we read over poems and my thesis statement didn't get chopped to bits which I condiser a great accomplishment.

Then Newspaper comes around. I didn't think it would be that bad. But I headed over to the computer lab to type up my articles, and I check my e-mail. I get an anymous review saying that someone has, yet again, reported my story for the a/n's at the bottom.

Poop.

This means that my stories, or even my whole account, could be deleted permanatley just because someone read the rules wrong. Now, this dosen't seem like a bit deal to ya'll, but right now, that account is my life. Coming home, writing, and reading my reviews had been what I look forward to every day, I've been doing it for the past six months. It's what I love more than anything, and someone is trying to get me knocked off because my A/N's are long because I like to thank people individually.

Computer went bad too. I thought our test was tommorrow, but again, I was wrong. It was today, and I think I failed.

Poop again.

Then we had Bible with Mrs. Foster. She wasn't to happy that I hadn't shown up that morning, and I tried to explain that I needed to be with my partner to finish up our project.

Still, she wasn't to happy.

The highest I can make on the test now is a 50.

Now I don't know if I am going to make about a 70 in that class.

I might get kicked off of Volleyball.

See, not good day.

All of that, normaly, wouldn't have bothered me too terribly much, but then again I've had a stressful week.

Once again, I'm coming under attack. I'm constantly told how I dress, and even look, like a boy. How I need to wear makeup. How I need to stop being dowdy. How I need to buy new clothes and burn my overall's and sweatshirts. How I need to not like Harry Potter so much. How I need to stop liking Alan Rickman, and Jason Isaacs. How I need to not like country so much. How I need to change my hair. How I need to loose weight. How I need to stop being so darn wierd, and the list goes on and on.

And this is coming from my friends.

And people wonder why I have such low self esteem.

Harry Potter

Well, as some of you may very well know, I am completly and 100% obsessed with Harry Potter. I visit mugglenet and the leaky cauldron on a daily basis, and I even have an e-mail account hosted by mugglenet. I write Harry Potter fanfiction, I read Harry Potter fanfiction, I have written a few editorials, I play Severus Snape in a Harry Potter RPG, I am active on quite a few Harry Potter message boards, I have memorized the Harry Potter movies, I have developed obsessions with actors in the Harry Potter movies, (Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs). I listen to MuggleCast which is basically an online discussion/talk show that runs from 25 minutes to an hour and is run by the guys from Mugglenet and they talk about nothing but Harry Potter. I plan on attending the first showing of Goblet of Fire wearing my Snape was Framed t-shirt if I can't scrounge up enough money to acutlay buy a costume (cape, scarf, tie, the works). I pre-ordered my HBP copy and would have gone to the book release party if I could have. I also spent July 16th doing nothing but reading that book, twice, until four in the morning. If I could, I belive I could get into heated debtates about Harry Potter and would talk, at length, about it if someone would be willing to listen.

So yes, I am quite obsessed.

So I decided that it was about time that I had an obsession based post.

Well, big news, a new two and a half minute teaser trailer has just been released. They were showing it in theaters not to long ago at the select showings of the Corpse Bride. I would have gone to see it, but we are broke. Besides, I did see the first ever GOF trailer premier on the movie theater screens when I went to see Kicking and Screaming (awful movie) with Cami.

I started squealing in the theater when it came on, quite sad.

But the new trailer looks increadible. Then, the day after the trailer aired, the morning show in england put out another international trailer which had even more new footage.

I promptly downloaded both and I have seen them at least 100 times a piece (no joke) so far.

These new trailers give us a first look at Voldemort reborn, along with a first look at Nagini and Karakoff (who dosn't look half bad, if I do say so myself.) Also, towards the end of the international trailer, we get to see, what I think, is an up close and personal look at the Death Eater masks. I can't say that I wasn't dissapointed when I first saw their outfits. To KKK for my taste. But, my faith will be restorted if the masks belong to the Death Eaters.

Voldemort looks exactly like I thoght he would. Even with the glimpse, I'm very proud and I can tell already that the scenes involving him will be bone chilling. I'm glad that they kept his image the same as in the first movie. I just hate how they change peoples looks like that. For instance, the Parvati in the third film looks nothing like the Parvati in the fourth. The seeker that they had electructed in the third movie, is not the person that ended up being Cedric. Tom the barkeeper went from somewaht nice looking to the Hunchback of Notre Dame from the first to third movie. Even Fudge looks diffrent! While it is the same man, they clearly did his makeup diffrent. The hairpiece from movie two, is not the same in movie three. And, I could go on and on if I could.

Well, I think I have to stop there. My beta just sent in the revised chapter, so I must go look over it.

If any of y'all want to see the new trailers go to www.mugglenet.com and scroll down the front page. It shouldn't be to far down.
