10:24 pm - Wow a post... So i am sitting at my cousins house alone becuase they are all at the movies. however, there seems to be something about the day after Christmas that i just dont want to go see movies. this happened last year too. so i end up staying home and they all go to movies. but i have a lovely time to myself, and i thought i might as well update, beware its kinda long... :::flashback music::: Lets start at the very beginning (a very good place to start) yeah so i was just watching Sound of Music. Anwyays, the beginning is Saturday, when finals week was finaly over, anther semester over and done. I was bored, i very much wanted to go see Rent, but no one could go with me. Thankfully Ben had never seen it, and was gracious enough to go with me, since he knew i relaly wanted him to see it so he could know what i was talking about. Being broke, we decided to do pit seats, since i had never done that, having only previously seen it in NY, and over there i didnt want to risk not getting a lottery ticket so i always just buy them ahead of time. So anyways, we went down there, got there about 5:30, and were able to scrape the very last 2 tics: front row, far house right. fun stuff yo. so i saw it again yay me. It is amazing from the front row, i cant even tell you. All the little nuances and reactions from the characters that you have no idea happen from far away are soo visible up close, i loved it. Mark had his voice back, but i still didnt think he could hold some of the notes very well. i dunno, other than that he was great. rather cute, and he winked at me!!! ben commented after that i seemed to be staring at him a lot, but i couldnt help it, hes cute and i love that character. and this Joanne is amazing. i have never felt that the character of Joanne was all that intersting, but she made it her own, and she is one of my fav characters now. amazing waht one stellar performance can do! Ben even liked it, well actually, he says that to "like" it he woudl have to like musicals and/or plays but he did think it was good. hehe he cracks me up. anyways it was a great night to be had. Christin: you still need to take Erin or i will be very mad at you! she needs to no longer be a Rent virgin!!! Sunday, Ben and i went down to Balboa Island to the Yount's little beach house to watch the boat parade. It was really fun we had a great time. Monday who knows wah ti did, prolly shopped/and or wrapped presents... Tuesday was Christmas Eve, so Erin, Christin and I did a gift exchange. Unfortunately goon!Erin was running late as usual so we were unable to go out to lunch to do gifts, cause Christin and i realy wanted to see Love Actually. But we did gifts, and i got my wand!!! My 14" Willow wand with a Unicorn tail hair!!! yay im so excited. No longer using my secondhand wand hehe.... And i got these realy cool Scren shoots of Death to Smoochy. Its actually the film itself, so its relaly neat, so i am goign to go develop some of the ones i really like. i am such a dork =D Love Acutally was very intersting. I really loved it, i am kinda upset that a few things were left unresolved but i guess life is never completely certain anyways....but sometimes i like my movies to be =) Then the fam and i headed over to EV Free Yorba Linda (our old Chruch) to meet the V's and do the Christmas Eve Service, then we went over to their house for Fondue and Catchphrase and chatting. we were going to read Best Christmas Pagent Ever, but we ran out of time cuase we talked too much. o well, it was a fun night anyways... Then Christmas we did the morning as a family. I got a gorgeous Leather Jacket that i have been wanting, and a Harry Potter messenger bag, and other random stuff im too lazy to type in hehe. Then Ben came over, we did breaky, and packed up the last stuff to fly up to Sacramento. Said bye to Ben, and went to the airport where we got up here aound 5 in the afternoon. Did christmas dinner, hung out, and then i dragged my brother, cousin and her boyfriend to :::gasp::: Peter Pan. like Christin said it was a lot different from what i thought it woudl be, but i absolutely loved it. I really liked that it was based more on the book than any other version, and i absolutely loved the book. now i must reread the book and see it again cuase i must compare, and i want to see if they added a few things or if i just dont remember them in the book. but Peter is abosolutely adorable, he has the greatest smile, and of course Jason Isaacs is fantastic! go see it you will love it!! Then today Kara and i slept in, and went shopping all day as is our tradition. got some great stuff. Finaly bought Lion King special edition DVD and the Bernadette Peters Gypsy 2003 revival cast soundtrack is finaly in stores so i bought it, and i absolutely love it. i liked that show so much it was great!! and then they all went to the movies and that brings me to the present. actually they are back now, and i must go blowdry my hair so i can wear it down tomorrow. hope you all had a merry Christmas!!! Wednesday was Christmas Eve! Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Let Me Entertain You - Gypsy

01:22 pm - the precious is gone.... So yesterday i had my first finals. Speech when fine in history, i deal, and then my math test wasnt all too bad, considering i only needed a 50% on it to keep my A in the class. so i am sure i did that... Then last night we all went to Lord of the Rings. What started out as me and my brother, actually turned into about 10 of us, and a couple more who would have gone but it sold out (SORRY ANDI)! It was lots of fun, i really enjoyed it, but i felt there were a couple scenes that just dragged on to no end which could have easily been shortened, and there was this one scene involving someone being burned alive which i just couldnt handle. but anyways, overall it was a very good movie, and the trilogy has come to an end.... so sad... but i think i am sick. i feel terrible this morning, i cannot be sick this week i have finals, and i dont wanna be sick for christmas...i thought i had kicked this thing, but it seems to have come back to haunt me.... ick o well... all i have to do is get thru this week, and then fantasmic night friday!!! woho!! Rivers of America 5:00 pm Be There!!!! Some happiness: "Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7 "I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4 My LiveJournal 12 Days My True Love gave to me... 12 babynowell99s a-sipping. 11 bekkios a-twisting. 10 bugsters a-kissing. 9 cb_yb_df_pts a-giggling. 8 disphorias a-squatting. 7 freckles23s a-snorting. 6 jmpovrthemoon23s a-hacking. 5 platinum newsiesstars. 4 grunting pryncess_angels. 3 Slovakian somebodylikeus. 2 swan tinkrbelle19s.

04:45 pm - Bear with me if you have seen some of this before... From interviews with JK Rowling Q: What makes some witches/wizards become ghosts after they die and some not? JKR:You don't really find that out until Book VII, but I can say that the happiest people do not become ghosts. As you might guess, Moaning Myrtle! book seven?!? wil this have to do with Sirius perhaps??? Q: What did the Potter parents do for a living before Voldemort killed them? JKR: I'm sorry to keep saying this, but I can't tell you because it's important to a later plot. But you will find out later! oooo 6th book come soon!!! Q: Do you take real people you know and put them in your books? JKR: The closest I've come to putting a real person in my books is with Gilderoy Lockhart, who is an exaggeration of someone I once knew. John Weasley is a little bit like my oldest friend, a man I was at school with, whose name is Sean. But neither of them are accurate portraits. Who is John Weasley???? edit: They mean Ron, he is based off her friend Sean, but when they did the transscript of the interview they did it wrong...how obnoxious... Q: How can two Muggles have a kid with magical powers? Also how does the Ministry of Magic find out these kids have powers? JKR: It's the same as two black-haired people producing a redheaded child. Sometimes these things just happen, and no one really knows why! The Ministry of Magic doesn't find out which children are magic. In Hogwarts there's a magical quill which detects the birth of a magical child, and writes his or her name down in a large parchment book. Every year Professor McGonagall checks the book, and sends owls to the people who are turning 11. so if it is true that Petunia did get a letter or something and didnt go, the Ministry woudlnt know about it. only dumbledore and mcgonagall would... very intersting, as in that case she wouldnt be registered... Q:Which house was Lily Potter in, and what is her maiden name? JKR: Her maiden name was Evans, and she was in Gryffindor (naturally). Well that answers that one... You said Ron's cousin was taken out of Book 4, and you developed Rita Skeeter more after that. Do you still think that it would have been more fun to keep her? Can you tell me anything about what she was going to be like? Well, maybe I will use her in another book, so I don't want to talk about her too much. I had never "killed" a character before (in either sense) until Goblet of Fire, so that made writing the book a little more stressful! maybe thats who John Weasley is...ron's cousin...i wanna know how he fit into evertying, maybe he just went to teh world cup with them. But it brings up an intersting point as Sirius Black and Arthur Weasley are like second cousins once removed. so would this cousin John be a closer relavite to Sirius? or Draco??? or Bellatrix?????? edit: other Weasley was a girl. but she could still be related so it all works... Q: Is it just me, or was something going on between Ron and Hermione during the last half of Goblet of Fire? JKR: Yes, something's "going on," but Ron doesn't realize it yet. Typical boy. so there... good ship r/h all the way!!! Q:The first four books have been getting longer, but number four was huge! Is number five likely to be shorter than number four? JKR: Yes, five is going to be shorter than four. I always knew four would be the longest, but even I didn't expect it to be that long. haha that was optimistic...so now who knows if 6 and 7 will be shorter... Current Mood: pensive

01:49 pm - True True... you are violet #EE82EE Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be. Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.
