I’ll walk with the other one

Last night I stayed up to 1:20 reading Harry Potter again. XP Page 330. Not bad, I guess. Not good, either, though. Oh well. Someone said there’s too much teen angst in this book. I kinda agree. ^.^;; Harry keeps pouting and all of a sudden he’s got a temper. o.O I mean, a good portion of the time it’s understandable, but then he keeps jumping on his friends’ backs, and it’s just annoying.

I fell asleep some time after 3. And I woke up around 11:30 on my own. Hehehe. ^^;; Go me! Goby!! *holds up fish* >.> Animal Crossing … I haven’t played that game in a long while … *fears what her town looks like* You know, I listened to Bleed American while playing AC so much that whenever I listen to it now I remember Animal Crossing. Haha!

I’m dying again

Cool. I saw the Going Under music video today. :) Weird video. Well, not weird, but it sure made me dizzy watching it. o_o;; The scenes kept changing so quickly. I like Amy Lee’s outfit, though. XD And she sang underwater. o.o I wonder how they did that. Because, well, she was underwater.

I also saw that live performance (on German tv) of Going Under. O_O Wow. Amy Lee’s voice is … so great. On the CD, you can’t hear her real voice, really, with the digital changes, or however it’s done. But live, it blows me away. I wanna sound like her! ;.;

Ooh, and I saw Michelle Branch’s video for Are You Happy Now? Very … colorful. :b It’s not a very interesting video … eye candy, but not much else. Other than the song, of course. Uber good song!

Well. Despite spending almost four hours on Mommy and Daddy’s compi watching music videos and playing Spider Solitaire, I don’t really want to be on the computer. ^_^;; I got to page 250 in Harry Potter last night. I stopped reading around 1:20 or so. Then I couldn’t fall asleep x_x so I sat in my chair until I fell asleep, then at 5 I got up and went to bed. Woke up … I forget when. 1 or 2, I guess …

once again

I’m boooored (’cause … fun was dispersed earlier) and huuuuungry (’cause … I woke up at 11 and didn’t eat lunch at 12) and so … Wednesday What-If (entirely too lazy to a href it, maybe I’ll do it later, but just look at some previous entry)

1. What if you got to choose what house to be in? (For those who don’t know… Gryffindor: brave/noble, Hufflepuff: loyal/kind, Ravenclaw: smart/clever, or Slytherin: cunning/evil.)
Then gee, I sure would struggle and suffer in Ravenclaw, wouldn’t I! :B Nah, I guess I’d choose Hufflepuff …

2. What if you got to choose a character with whom to “hook up”? (Sorry to those who haven’t read the books, can’t help you here.)
Umm … I’d still choose Matt?

3. What if you got to choose what kind of wand you received, how long would it be, what would it be made out of, and what would be inside it? (For those who don’t know: wands can be made up of such combinations as 6-inch ash containing dragon heartstrings, or 11.5-inch oak containing unicorn hairs, et cetera.)
I don’t like wands. I don’t like waving them around. (“You’re gonna put someone’s eye out with that thing!”)

4. What if you had to pick one animal to take with you to Hogwarts as a pet (cat, owl, toad or rat), which one, and why that animal?
Owl because … it’s trained to come back to me. A cat would come and go as it pleases. Besides, owl seems like the coolest answer. :b

5. What if you had to endure one of the three tasks from Book Four, which one and why? (For those of you who haven’t read up, the tasks were… #1: face a fully-grown nesting dragon with nothing but a wand; #2: survive underwater for an hour to rescue your best friend from its murky depths; or #3: find your way to the center of a hedge maze that is chock-full of magical obstacles.)
Three … maybe … can’t really remember the fourth book. ^^;; I read it … two years ago? Over two years ago.

Mmm … boro … *drools and chows down*

Harry the jock

AHAHA! This [article, “Harry Potter: Fraud”] cracks me up soooo much! XDDD

“The one thing Harry excels at is the sport of Quidditch, and his pampered-jock status allows him to slide in his studies, as long as he brings the school glory on the playing field. But as Charles Barkley long ago noted, being a good athlete doesn’t make you a role model.”

*falls to the floor laughing* Omigosh! Harry does get by on his reputation and his jock skillz. Ahhh!! Jock!! lol :b

reading late

Sunday, 9 December, 2001 at 2:52 pm

Last night, or this morning, I stayed up until 6:15 am reading The Books of Fell. ^.^ I’ve stayed up until 3 (maybe 4) reading books, but never so close to the time I’m supposed to wake up on weekdays. I read about 400 pages in 6 hours and 45 minutes. 405 minutes. That’s about a page a minute, my usual reading speed. That’s amazing, because I kept rereading the same paragraphs for a while … ^_^;; So I guess that is my ultimate midnight rendezvous?

One time I remember, I told myself I’d never stay up late reading Harry Potter, it wasn’t worth it (still in my I’m-not-into-fads mode) and so when I got to the fourth book, I read the first half in one night. ^_^; I thought, ‘Okay, go to bed now, and you’ll never stay up half the night reading a Harry Potter book.’ So I did. Then skipped schoolwork the next day to finish it. ^.^ Ohoho …
