Ha! I'm back! I haven't updated in nearly a month. Half the time I was out of town, but the other half I was just too lazy to post. Nothing much has happened, though, really. My earlier prediction about the airport came true. My dad did freak out, both on the way to Boston and on the way back. It annoyed the crap out of me.

Anyway, I'm going to be at camp the whole of next week. I'm not particularly looking forward to it. This will be my seventh year going there, so it's getting kind of old. There's also the fact that the person I'm going with is semi-afraid of heights/semi-boring, so I won't be able to do half the stuff I want to do. I haven't been on the high-ropes course or done the free fall in two years. I've got to do it this year since it's my last. I used to go with my cousin and she would do all that good stuff, but she hasn't been able to go for the last couple of years.

I leaving for camp Sunday morning and I'm not sure if I'm going to post anything else until then, so if don't, see you the 26th!

I'm leaving for Boston tomorrow (or today, rather). My parents and I are going to see a couple of Red Sox games and basically just chillax. It's going to be fun. Unless of course my dad freaks out at the airport again, which is inevitable. He always does. I have no idea why, but he can never handle airports and he absolutely hates flying.

So, yeah, in short, I won't be here until Wednesday night. Hope nothing too exciting happens until then. See ya!

MUST HAVE MORE!!!

James and Sirius amuse me to no end. <3 My love for James has grown exponentially with this. (Not that I didn't already love him in the first place!) And I totally need one of those t-shirts! JKR really needs to write a prequel.

I want more Marauder era canon!

First off, this post is mainly just to show off this awesome new Chuck icon I found.

However, I do think I ought to mention that I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. Yeah, I'm looking foward to that... My cousin just came by to reassure me that it wasn't that bad. Of course, she did mention that she took the gauze out too early which resulted in her throwing up blood, and that her ex-boyfriend woke up in the middle of his surgery. That part was extremely reassuring. XD

Today, though, I babysat two 2 year olds. I'm exhausted. They had me doing something every minute of the nine hours I was there.

Friday at 9:28PM EST, I officially became a high school Senior. I am both excited and slightly worried about this. I want to get out of high school, but I don't particularly feel like a Senior. I've got the whole summer to get over that, though.

Graduation wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The two little kids that were the mascots behaved well. The little boy was by far the cutest. He would randomly laugh really loudly during the speakers speech. The speech was surprisingly good. I listened during the whole thing, and that's saying something. The speaker is really cool, so I knew his speech would be good, but I wasn't expecting it to be that good. It was filled with random, funny, and occasionally pointless anecdotes.

My parents and I went to the beach after graduation. I think we got there around 2 in the morning. It usually takes about two and a half hours to get there, but we didn't leave home until 11:00 and my dad drives slow. I didn't really get to do much. We really just went to the beach a) because we have a (small) house down there, b) because we can, and c) because apparently my mom was having some sort of beach withdrawals. We walked out to the ocean, but that's it. It really wasn't the best weekend to go to the beach.

My dad and I did go to see the new Indiana Jones movie, though. I thought it pretty good. Shia LeBeouf But then again by some bizarre twist of fate, I haven't seen the other ones, so I have nothing to compare it to. That really surprises me because my dad loves those movies.


I did say I was going to talk about Busch Gardens, didn't I? Oh well, that was like a week ago. Basically, my friends and I had a really good time. We rode all five of the roller coasters, and one of them twice. I somehow managed to knock down three plates with a single baseball throw and I won a giant stuffed Patrick (which I gave to my two year old cousin). It was my first try to, so I only spent two bucks.

Akjadhgf;tihdash!!

OFFICIAL. 800 WORD. MARAUDER-ERA. JAMES. SIRIUS.

I feel that I might spontaneously combust from happiness. I've been waiting for this. Those biased memories from Snape in DH were not enough, even though James was absolutely adorable in that scene in the Hogwarts Express. James doesn't get enough love. We need MOAR of him. NOW. (And Sirius, too!) I don't know if I can wait until June 11 or whenever it gets online.

I wish it were a whole prequel, but maybe she'll be enticed to write more after this little snippet. She knows she can't resist the Marauders' charm. >D


(I need a James icon... ;_;)

Okay, this is one of my first attempts at fanfiction. I just don't think there's enough good Lily and James fics, and I hope I added one to the good pile instead of the bad. XD If you like it, I'd love some ecouragement because I do want to keep writing. Constructive criticism would be great as well. I don't have a beta, so there's probably a few gramatical errors, but hopefully not many. Here goes nothing...


Title: She Was Beautiful
Characters/Pairings: Lily/James
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,049
Disclaimer: Sorry, not mine.
Summary: She was beautiful. It seemed as if nothing else mattered as soon as he saw her; as if there was no war; as if innocent people weren’t dying everyday. It seemed to him as if she was the only other person left in the world.
Author’s Notes: I’m actually hoping to make this part of a Lily/James fanfiction 100 challenge. It’s not going to be official, because I don’t want to put that much pressure on myself and I’ve actually changed the prompt table around a bit to my liking. If I decide to continue on with it, this will be for prompt 002 – Beautiful.

( SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL )

I did manage to finish that paper I talked about in my last post. I think I finished around 1:30AM on the morning it was due. XD I could've finished a lot earlier, but I didn't want to work on it. At least that was the last work I had to do for my Junior year! Next week is exam week, but I'm exempt from all of mine so I don't have to go to school at all. I'm looking forward to it. I do have to go Friday, though. I've got to practice for graduation. I'm one of the Junior Marshalls.

And Thursday at the athletic banquet, I officially became the smartest female athlete in the school. I got a really big trophy, too. I'm not sure what my average is, though. They didn't say.

Today was Baccalaureate (sp?), and I got to old the hands of the two little mascots during the whole service. They were so cute! They had pads of paper and pens to keep themselves entertained. The little boy was whispering to me about what he was drawing the whole time. He even drew me a picture, though I have yet to figure out exactly what it is. The little girl, however, drew a tornado (she spelled it trnadoe) which was destroying our school and two poor stick people. It was slightly disturbing to say the least.

I hope my dress is going to get clean. The girl Marshalls all have to wear white dresses both for Baccalaureate and Graduation. Of course about ten minutes after I changed my clothes, I found my black cat lying on it and getting his hair all over it. Darn cats.

This entry is getting kind of long. I'll talk about Busch Gardens tomorrow or something. It was an interesting trip to say the least. ;) (And perhaps I shall give my input on the Gossip Girl finale, too.)

I have a five page paper due in three days. I haven't started on it yet. *dying*

And I just drank some out of date milk... Ew.

My friends and I saw Prince Caspian yesterday! I thought it was pretty good. I wasn't confused at all, which is a good thing. I read the whole Chronicles of Narnia series, but that was over six years ago in fifth grade. So, naturally, I remember very little of it and what I do remember of the series all runs together. (I also read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that year. I don't know how I understood any of LotR when I was that young. XD)

The most interesting part of the whole thing wasn't the movie, it was actually getting there and back. One of my friends was driving and, well, she'd probably lose her head if my friends and I weren't there to help her find it. It's supposed to take about 45 minutes to get to the place we saw the movie at. We got there in about that time. We only had a few minor setbacks; forgetting how to merge into lanes of traffic, making u-turns instead of going left, that sort of thing. However, it took us TWO HOURS to get back home. Two hours! She wasn't allowed to go on the interstate (which happened to be the only way my other friend, Ashley, and I knew) and she knew how to get there, but she didn't know how to get back. It was terrible. I fear for her when she goes to college. Ashley and I just ended up in fits of hysteric laughter everytime Lindsey messed up. She got so mad at us. It was kind of funny... but then again, it wasn't.


Oh, and I've got a question for those on my f-list from H_E. I made some icons from that hilarious mad libs in the main community, but I want to know if I am allowed to post them there? I didn't see anything in the rules against it, but I'm just making sure that it's not some "unwritten rule" or something. I'll post them here if I can't there.

Welcome angelchld3, fauxkaren, ohstarling, krysti_ryou, and dharmavati from the H_E friending meme! I'm so glad to have you all on my f-list! I think my userinfo says most of the stuff you need to know about me and most of my entries will be public. I'm sorry that I haven't had time to post much lately and I probably won't be posting frequently until I get out of school in a couple of weeks.

Speaking of school, today was clean-up day for one of the clubs (it's for students with an overall average of 90 and above or something close to that) at my school. We didn't have to go to any of our classes. We all had to go to all the different rooms and do what the teachers asked us. We all finished pretty fast, though my friend and I did have a couple of accidents when we were cleaning the room we were assigned. My friend, Ashley, somehow knocked a bottle of windex off the top of a ladder and it poured all over the floor. It was a mess. Then, a trash bag was stuck inside one of the trashcans and I spent about ten minutes making a fool of myself trying to get it out. XD I bet it was pretty funny to watch.

The best part about clean up day is that after the cookout we have for lunch, everyone is basically done cleaning. We don't tell our sponser that, of course. Last year, a bunch of us hid out in the library (it sucks and it's ancient; no one ever uses it, so it's a good hide out) and that resulted in one boy breaking his hand. He and another boy were sword fighting with some pieces from the card catalogue thing or something. This year we stayed on the playground and played kickball with the little kids. (My school is Preschool through Twelth.) It was fun and, well, most of them were cute.

Next week we're going to Busch Gardens. I can't wait for that.


Oh, any of you see this weeks Gossip Girl? I thought it was pretty good. I wait until next week's season finale. It better be good.

Snagged from futurecohen.

( The instructions for this one are quite simple. Open your iPod/default media player. Display all music. Answer the questions. )

I am so mad right now. My mom is an idiot. Okay, so I'm in my room and my mom comes to the door. She demands for me to give her my report card. She always does this and I'll never understand why. I don't have anything to hide and I make straight A's, so I don't get why she acts like freaking life depends on seeing it. Well, I don't have it with me. It's in my car and I don't really feel like going to get in now. So I tell I'll go get it later. Then she gives me this huge picture frame with a picture of my class at the prom in it. I tell her that I don't have anywhere to put it. (I really don't. Every surface in my room is covered with junk.) Then I tell her I don't even really want it and I close the door.

I go back to whatever I was doing before thinking it's over, but then ten minutes later I hear her storming up the stairs. I go to the door and she starts yelling at me for "backtalking" her. (I absolutely hate when people use that phrase. What does it even mean? What, I can't simply state the sky is blue after an adult says it's purple or something. The concept of it is stupid.) Then she starts yelling at me because I apparently wasted the, oh I don't know, five minutes of her time that it took to put that picture in the frame. Hello, it's not like I asked her to. After she gets tired of yelling at me, she pushes me and I nearly fall into the bathtub. (There's a bathroom between my room and the hall.) Then she makes me go to my car and get my stupid report card, following behind me about two feet and yelling my ear off the whole way. Then she makes me fold freakin' clothes. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's so stupid and boring. I'm surprised I'm being left alone long enough to type this. Right now she's probably ranting to my dad (who was sitting in his chair watching tv the whole time) about it, but she'll probably be up here yelling at me again in ten minutes. She's so annoying.

When she gets mad, she'll start yelling and yelling and when she runs out of things to yell at me about from what I'd just done, she starts yelling at me for things I'd done weeks ago. It's so annoying. Especially in the car because I can't do anything, but sit there while she yells and cusses at me for twenty minutes straight. If I even so much as breath wrong, she'll start yelling at me for that too.

I can't wait until I go off to college. I'm moving as far as I possibly can from here. Hopefully, I'll be able to do a semester abroad in college. I don't even know if halfway around the world would be far enough away, though. Only 206 more school days until I graduate high school. I don't think it could possibly come soon enough.

Guess what? My contacts hate me again! They better get right soon because Prom's next week, unfortunately. My whole Junior class has been working on it for the last week. I was there the whole day yesterday. I never again want to spend over twelve hours straight at school. I was so bored. Most of us just ended up sitting around talking half the time.

I saw I Am Legend the other day. It was actually pretty good. Not what I expected, but still good. I won't spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

I finished the paper. Thank God. School was boring the last couple days and I had a bad day today. Well, it wasn't neccessarily bad, but nothing good happened. At all.

And, I got sorted into Gryffindor at sorting_elite! Whoo! Everyone I've met in the common room so far has been really nice.

Oh, and more somewhat bad news. My aunt (mom's sister) and my uncle are separated. I doesn't bother me much. I never really liked him and he was kind of mean, but I feel sorry for my cousin. He just turned nine, today actually.

And, I've developed a strange liking for country music lately. It's kind of weird.

I've been MIA. Sorry. I've got a five page paper to write. I've been putting it off all week. I really, really don't want to write it. Ugh...

Haha! I got it to work on my laptop! So I guess that means there is something wrong with the USB ports on my desktop. Oh well.

( Picspam ahead! )

Ack, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been away from home with limited access to the internets. ;__;

And I was planning on doing that cute!puppy picspam, but, alas, my camera and my computer apparently don't like each other very much. It's just not working. I think there's something wrong with my computer's USB ports, 'cuz my iPod hasn't been working right with my computer either. My computer and iTunes don't even recognize that my iPod is plugged in. Darnit. That means I have to go somewhere to get it fixed. Always something wrong with this stupid computer.

If I ever get it to work, I will post the pictures!

So, I guess everyone's that cares has heard by now. The Deathly Hallows movie going to be split into two movies. Personally, I'm happy about it. But it seems by looking through some posts and comments over at harry_potter that this fandom is too hard to please. They complain when too much is cut from the movie and now there complaining that the movie's been split so very little will have to be cut. I just don't understand some people.

And I actually had a really good day today. There were only four people in my last class today, so the teacher let us out about 20 minutes early. Heck yes. After that one of my friends and I went to see my other friend's new puppy. It was so cute!

Get ready for some major puppy picspam after I get the pictures uploaded! >:D

I'm sick. Again. Darn my incompetent immune system. I'm going to retreat back to the sanctity of my bed now.
