3:39 am - Perhaps it's time for an update...
|
So...it's been a while since I've updated. I suppose that's because nothing much has really been happening that I feel completely comfortable posting where anyone can read it. I figure anyone I really feel ok telling already knows...they know who they are, but I think they're probably the only people who read my LJ anyway. Oh well.
Anyway, school starts again soon, which I'm feeling pretty anxious about. I'm excited to start doing club stuff (ESS, GSA, DRAMAT, TTEC and all the rest) and seeing people. I'm even kinda looking forward to some of the classes I'm taking. But I'm so worried about the workload and time and stuff. I'm afraid I've bitten off more than I can chew for next year and I'm not going to have enough time to function. Plus I need really good grades this year for colleges.
Bah, I'm so fucking anxious about college.
I went into the city on tuesday with Sarah and her friend from her school, Freddy. He's been here for about the past week so we've all been hanging out. When we went to the city we stayed with their friend Adi from their school who was awesome. We had a lot in common, it was really creepy actually.
While in the city I spent far more money than I should have, but I'm content with my purchases. I needed a new bag and a new pair of sneakers so that wasn't money wasted. I also got a new nose ring and two more piercings in my ears, yay! Plus a pair of beatle boots which are unbearable awesome.
I saw the movie "Thirteen" which was seriously amazing. I was wild when I was thirteen, but thank god I wasn't that bad. The really sad thing is though that there are so many kids who do end up like that. I really recommend it to anyone who's not afraid of seeing a really truthful (albeit depressing) movie.
Anyway, I spose that's all for now...I guess I'll go read or something...I'm rereading "Order of the Phoenix" and I'm enjoying it. I have some major issues with it, but all things considered it's good.
OH! I finished the "His Dark Materials" trilogy, which for anyone who hasn't read it, is the best thing I've read in years. It's as good as Harry Potter, but different. With HP I feel very connected to certain characters and with HDM it's sort of the entire universe, though there are some truly great characters in it. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants an easy read that's really good. Though it's very anti-church, so if you're not into that then you might wanna stay away.
Ok, now I'm really done.
current mood:  anxious

Such a bad day. Such a bad series of days. ::Sigh:: I'm sad. Maybe sads not the right word actually...it's more general than that; I dunno. But I have scary family here this week and it's not good. They're very conservative and catholic and not like me at all. Plus my dad is all afraid of offending them so I can't act normal. Anyway, I've been feeling very off, and them being here isn't helping. Blah.

12:21 am - Happy Birthday Harry!
|
|
So, I know it's a little late, seeing as it's twenty or so minutes into August, but I think it still counts, so I wanna take this opportunity to with Harry Potter a very happy 23rd birthday.

Oh god, something very tiny just made me very happy! So, I've been seeing all these "Prisoner of Azkaban" pics and I haven't been too excited about any of them, until now. It appears that Alfonso had Tom Felton ditch the hair gel! Oh happy day! I swear I'm near to tears!
current mood:  ditzy

::sniff:: it's true
You are the DARK
You are present in every single horror
film imaginable. You are present when
horrible things happen. You are older
than the very universe itself. You make
regular things terrifying....and yet,
sometimes you're hardly noticed. Poor
you. You're a great person, but you need
to make yourself more pronounced at
times.

I just finished watching the 2nd season of QAF. I was quite entertained, and the ending was...well, I know Sophia follows the show and hasn't seen the 2nd season, so I won't say much, but I will say it was quite, well, I'll just say I could relate a bit to how Justin felt.
Anyway, I have to get up tomorrow at like noon to go sailing with a friend of mine, so since that's going to be oh so strenuous I think I'd better get to bed. And by get to bed I mean read for three hours because my book ("The Subtle Knife," second in the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Phillip Pullman) is fucking good I don't think I can bear to be away from it much longer.
current mood:  hot

Ok, so I haven't been really sleeping much lately...again; that's bad, right? For the pasy couple of days I've been working for this old lady who wants to send her grandkids to boarding school and is paying me to help her find good ones. So I've been having to get up at like 9:30 to go to work with my mother to meet up with this old woman. So one would think if on the first night I went to bed at 6:30 and only slept 3 hours the next night I'd be able to fall asleep by like 1am at the latest and get a full night's sleep. But no, that's too simple. Instead it seems my body is stuck on going to sleep not earlier than 5am. Oh well, at least I'm reading a book I really like, "The Golden Compass." It's the first of the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman. I'm so into it, I'd say it's as good as Harry Potter, though very different; I get a much different feeling from it that I can't really explain. Not to say that this series will take the place of my beloved Potter, oh no, it's a finished series and shorter so not quite as obsession-worthy, though very good, and I'm highly recommending it to anyone who wants a fairly easy read that's a bit fantastical, but not Harry Potter.
Also, last night I was kept up again by thoughts of "Merchant of Venice." I had this idea of in the first scene when Bassanio is telling Antonio about Portia he starts off by just saying "In Belmont there is a lady richly left," (or whatever it is) then Antonio will look at him all quizzical like, sort of saying "and...?" then Bassanio continues and he's all like "And she is fair yada yada yada" (I don't have the play right here and unlike Lois I can't just ramble off quotes). So then Antonio gives him the look again like "isn't there anything else you can say about her?" and finally Bassanio gets the picture and tells him more about her. But I kinda like the idea of doing that because it goes along with my impression of Bassanio as seeing Portia's wealth first, her beauty second, and then all that other stuff which doesn't really matter to him a distant third.
So, yeah, I suppose there are worse reasons to be up late than a book I'm really enjoying and a play I can't stop thinking about. So, I may be tired, but at least I'm entertained.
Oh, a bad thing though...On the Leaky Cauldron last night they had a picture posted of Gary Oldman as Sirius...he looks so bad...I'm very disgruntled.

So, today I was on FanFiction.net because I thought to myself, "Hey, I wanna read some post Order of the Phoenix slash." But when I got on there and started looking around I really realized that all the authors left on FF.net really suck. I mean, after they got rid of the NC-17 fics most good authors left and now either have their own websites or are archived on a fairly large, well respected archive site. But all the individual authors I follow haven't updated in a while and none of the archive sites I like have updated since before book five, so I figured, ok, I'll try and find a yahoo group, there has to be a yahoo group for post Order of the Phoenix slash, there has to be. But there wasn't! So I started my own. I haven't even had it twelve hours and I already have 13 members! I'm so excited! I'd love to be one of those people in the fandom people all sorta know. ::sigh:: yay.

I just went back and read like all my previous entries...Damn I was really fucked up over Sirius for a while...my pain has now subsided from a sharp stabbing type pain, to more of a dull ache which is noticed only when thought about. I've has the same away message since it happened:
"I'm in mourning...::sob:: It's times like these that I wish I could stop being a full-time Harry Potter Fan Girl, but unfortunately it's not something one can just choose."
I feel like it's time to change...I mean, I am still in mourning...I will be for a long time, as long as I'm still a Harry Potter fan girl (which will be a while, trust me) I'll be in mourning, but I think I need a new away message...But I kind of feel like if I get rid of that away message it will mean I'm over it, and I'm not over it. Could it be I don't want to be over it? Maybe I'm afraid of insulting Sirius's memory...I really dunno.
I wanna go to sleep, but I can't (wow, when I think about Sirius lack of sleep ensues). Actually, it's not because of Sirius. I was just watching QAF and I won't have the next disk til Monday and it left off on a cliffhanger and so even though I'm tired I have it on my mind.
::Sigh::...I think I'll go read "Merchant of Venice" some more...

I tried to go to bed around six this morning, but then I started thinking about "Merchant of Venice" and I got really excited and couldn't sleep so I went and started rereading the play and roughly blocking scenes. I think for my director's audition I'm going to do the opening scene. I really like it because it shows (in my mind anyway) two very different Antonios: the one with his friends discussing depression, and the one with Bassanio, who is totally smitten and would do absolutely anything (including borrow money from Shylock with his own flesh on the line, not that he does that in that scene, but still, you can totally see it coming). So, yeah, I'm excited, yay!
current mood:  bouncy

Wow, I just went back and read what I wrote and there are so many typos I'm embarrassed. I swear I know the difference between to and too! I don't think anyone should read it, I'm embarrassed...

Ok...so that's my random little start to a Remus ficlet. Please ignore the badness...though perhaps there will be more anyway.
