One of the best days of my life

was yesterday. actually today I guess. You probably don't care but HERE is how it went.

Yesterday morning I was at TCNJ (the college of two best friends) because two of my favorite wizard rockers were there (Matt of the Whomping Willows and Lauren of the Moaning Myrtles). I was crazy excited. Me and Nik went to the student center, sat in some nice seats and waited for them to arrive. Ha once they got there I totally geeked out of course and Lauren gave me the cutest little wave (I was wearing one of her band shirts) and then played her set. It was great and I don't care if no one else thought so or was even listening to her but I loved it and sang along anyway. Then Matt came on and he says "Hey I know you" to me. Wow. WOOOOWWW. So then he coerced me and Nik to stand up close and wrock out. He called out out saying we were experienced wrockers and would show them how it's done. :D His set was great and of course no one else knew what the hell was going on but I loved every second of it. Right after he was done he jumped off stage and came over to talk to us. Super nice of course. They signed my picture I got with them in Cape May and we took some new ones. We told them we'd see them on Sunday (which is of course WROCKFEST!) and you could tell they were genuinely happy we were there. <3

Immediately after TCNJ me and Nik went straight to AMC for the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. This was at 2:30 mind you. Yep. Waited nine and a half hours in the freezing (yes freezing) cold for my true love. And would do it all over again too.

This movie was fantastic. I loved it. This is definitely my favorite Harry Potter film (which in turn makes it my favorite film ever) of all time. I felt is was almost a perfect adaptation of the book. I cried before it even began, knowing that this was it scared me. It truely is the beginning of the end. For something that has been my whole life realizing it actually does end is so frightening and mind boggling to say the least.
Just before it started I started to cry. This is my life. There's only one more premiere to go. One more event to really connect with the fandom. One more new Harry. Only one more.

It really hit me as I watched Emma Watson on Letterman the other night. I when I say hit me it was a fucking shit ton of bricks. Right after Emma sat down he showed a split screen of her at the London Deathly Hallows premiere and at The Sorcerer's Stone premiere at age 11. I started sobbing. I couldn't control myself. Soon it will all be gone. Here today...gone tomorrow. But really it will never leave from my life. Honestly if you know me at all you could have deciphered that already. I'm most looking foward to making (yes MAKING) my kids read the series. We will be a Harry family, you can count on it.

(not exactly it but you get the jist)
SPOILER ALERT! (jumps around but this is just how my brain is remembering it)

Loved the scene where Hermione and Harry danced. Totally needed that at that moment and it was super cute. Not in the book but it was a wonderful addition.

So upset they didn't show Luna's bedroom. Ugh. That was one of my favorite parts of the book and I was so excited to see it. I was hanging on right until the Lovegood house fell to see it but it never came :(

Not enough of the Order but I'll take what I can get.

Ginny...awkward...She asks Harry to zip her dress. It was just a mess.

The wedding was cute. I'm glad we finally got to meet Bill.

Moody :(

DOBBY. My baby. The whole theater went nuts when he first came on screen, it was incredible. He's so brave and also adds for comic relief that was needed. I wanted to crack up when he was on the chandelier but I knew what was coming so I couldn't. Dobby's death. Oh man. Clearly I was already crying because Hermione was just being tortured but this definitely brought more tears. I cried way more in the book but it was so emotional to see it on screen.

LOVED the seven potters scene. Perfect.

They did George's ear loss perfectly too.

Hedwig! Hedwig. She's always been there for Harry and I kind of felt her death was a bit overlooked. But it was nice that she died trying to protect Harry rather than in a cage like the book.

The scene at the Ministry of Magic was sooo well done. The actor's who played the Trio playing the Minstry workers (got that?) were perfect. The awkward Harry movements were perfect. Ron worrying about his "wife" killed me, I believe he does that in the book too.

Also upset one of my favorite lines was screwed up :/ Ron returns using the deluminator and he says "I guess Dumbledore always knew I'd leave" and Harry says something like "No, he always knew you'd come back". Instead Ron just said it in a jumble of words.

The Three Brothers Scene. Completely different from anything else. I wasn't too sure about it when I saw it but now thinking about it I think I liked it. It depicted the story very well.

DRACO was awesome. You can clearly see that he was indifferent about the situation he was in. He was disturbed that one of the teachers from Hogwarts was killed right in front of his face and he didn't give Harry away to Bellatrix when he obviously knew it was him. I secretly love Draco, his character is amazing and so troubled.

Loved Hermione and Ron's relationship. True love.

The scence where Ron destroys the locket was crazzzzyy. They portrayed that so well and the silver doe scene leading up to it.

Hmm I guess that's it? I'm seeing it again tomorrow so I may add more. JULY 15 HURRY UP PLEASE. But don't :/

Holy Crap.

I am in the process of mentally prepare for what is most likely going to be one of the best weekends of my life. Heck yes.

As I'm sure you all know this time of year is the highlight of my life. Yep it is a little thing I like to call "Harry Potter Season". Before a new movie is about to premiere there is tons of HP hype and events and ugh everything I've ever dreamt of. This includes all of the fantastic merch, yes I'm talking to you new Harry Potter pajama pants currently on my legs that make me happy every time I pull the covers off and forget I have them......

ANYWAY back to this awesome week coming up. Monday through Wednesday not so fun. Working of course. BUT on Wednesday night after work me and Nik will be going to TCNJ. Why go to TCNJ on the eve of the Harry Potter premiere? Well two of my favorite Wrock bands are performing there! WHAT!? I died when I found out. Honestly...ask Katie. So yeah the Whomping Willows and the Moaning Myrtles. They are the ones pictured in like y third or second post. Loveee them and intend on making a complete fool of myself.

After the concert (on Thursday mind you) me and Nik are gonna race home to the theaters for the premiere and hopefully get there by four, which is an hour later than originally planned :/ but I think it'll be worth it. AND THEN THE MOVIE. The moment we've all been waiting for. ohmygosh. I can't handle it, tears will surely be shed. It's the beginning of the end.

So that's my awesome week. JOKES. Doesn't end there suckkkas. So Friday I have off so me and Nik will go to lunch fo' free at Red Robin. Lol that's just an added bonus to the week, not necessarily needed but it works. Then work on Saturday then my sister's birthday. THENNNN.....are you ready?....No but really....SUNDAY IS WROCKFEST! Wrockfest is in Brooklyn and a whole bunch of wizard rock bands are performing and I won tickets! Wowowowow. I obviously would go anyway but hey saved me twenty bucks that I can now buy on merch! Eeeek. So excited. This is going to be the best week ever.

PROcrastinator.

Instead of starting my awesome homwork that's been piling up I've decided to bum out on my two days off of work and watch some movies.

Yesterday I watched three movies. Which is quite unusual for me, but I've been watching movies more and more lately. What were the three movies you ask? Oh...you didn't ask? Too bad.

First I watched Letters to Juliet. Now it's actually not that great of a movie but I'm a sucker for love stories and Amanda Seyfried. She's amazing. Anyway (spoiler alert) girl is engaged to a rude italian man who never listens blahblahblah. Clearly it's not going to work out between them. Clearly. So they go to Italy (for a business trip) and they both do there separate things. Long story short she falls in love with a gorgeous British guy while they search for his grandmother's long lost love. They don't tell there true feelings, she goes home, goes back for a wedding BUT WAIT. He is back with his love Penelope from forever ago...only there's two Penelopes and the one at the wedding is really his cousin not his ex. -___________- That really pissed me off. Two Penelopes. Ugh. Lame.

From there I watched Toy Story 3. Pixar really outdid themselves with this one. The first time I watched this was in theaters with Mary and Nik on.....dundundun GRADUATION DAY. Now if you've ever seen this movie you could just predict what happened to us.. best friends + Toy Story 3 + graduation day = MAJOR CRYFEST. MAJOR. Anyway it's a fantastic movie and everyone should watch it. It brings back amazing childhood memories and has the best message about friendship. So even after watching it the second time a bawled my eyes out. My younger sister said she had "tears in her eyes" but didn't cry. I'll make her watch it after she graduates...she'll cry..just wait.

Then I re-watched one of my favorite movies. Whip It. I freaking love this move. If I'm not including Harry Potter it's definitely top five. It's so empowering and kick ass that I wish I did roller derby. Hah I was actually asked to join a while ago after leaving Hot Topic. I wish I did it...if only I could skate...maybe lol. Ellen Page is the best in anything she does. She's so talented and I'd probably watch anything she's in. This movie is about passion and doing whatever the fuck you want. I wish I was like that. Getting away from the norm would be nice. Like Toy Story teamwork is also a major theme. (lol theme? I'm not writing a paper here...) And I LOVE that. It reminds me of how I can always rely on my friends for anything.

I feel like I watched another movie but I honestly can't remember.

Right now I'm watching The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The first time I watched this was with my sisters. We are kind of Holocaust movie junkies. One night we had a whole marathon. I miss those days. This movie is terribly sad but I love it. Again FRIENDSHIP. Wow sentimental here.

I wish movies were like real life...(well not the last one..).
THE WEAPON WE HAVE IS LOVE.

THREAD.

The thread is composed of twelve of us and it's a facebook message (thread) thats been going on since Febuary 8th, 2009 when me and Matt wanted to have a nice movie get together. That included the 10 original people. However some people never wrote on the thread and some weren't included for the movie gathering. So on June 13th, 2009 a new thread was created to "get rid of all the other losers that are on our original thread. this is to discuss about prom weekend for all those who are/should be coming with us". LOL and then there were eight...

We talked on that thing everyday. It made me so happy to see the little red number one by my inbox. The eight of us have so many whack ass memories from that thing and it all started from a party invitation. I can honestly say they are my best friends. I have seven best friends. But it sure as hell didn't stop there.

Prom weekend came and went and was literally the best time of my life, and I like to believe everyone else's too. The whole original Thread (the eight of us after the ten is the original) didn't come because some were just doing their own thing and there were non-thread members in the house but it was fucking awesome. We all became so much closer from that exteneded weekend. We have the craziest memories from that weekend, and essentially four new members. (now it sounds like a damn cult ha). So on August 23rd, 2010 before everyone went their separate ways, we made a new thread. The eight of us that were there the longest plus the four new loves from prom weekend.

Sooo that's the history of the Thread and we haven't all been together for several months now. Last night was epic though. Seven of the twelve of us were all in the same room. It was wild. I've been going through major thread withdrawls and it was a much needed reunion....however in 19 days we are prepared to fuck shit up. And HOPEFULLY by some grace of god we will all be with each other once again. <3 Thank you guys for being my best friends.

p.s. I caught my first shoplifter todayyy!

Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here.

So last week I saw Matt and Kim perform at Webster Hall in the city. It. Was. Amazing. Literally the best show I've been to. (I haven't been to many but still..) I saw Matt and Kim at Bamboozle last year and have listened to some of their stuff before that and fell in love. I touched Kim at that show. My mom says that's creepy but I had to outdo it this year of course. After finally getting to Webster Hall (three hours later mind you -___-) with some random kids that met up with us we were ready to fucking rock. We bought are swell tshirts and made our way to the center of the floor. Watched the opening act and then..had our minds blown (the our is me and Nikki since I was unclear). Matt and Kim were fucking awesome. More than that. So eventually I make my way up to the front. Yep the front. Anyway I'm sure I'm boring you but this is for me anyway so whateva. Welllll I touched both Matt and Kim SEVERAL times. Nikki even got a picture with Matt and overall it was just an awesome, awesome experience.

On the way home me and Nik were just talking about how much we love shows. Everyone is all together for the same reason. Loving the same thing, singing to the same song. It just blows my mind. Like when Matt and Kim played their last song, Daylight, the crowd went ape shit. ape. shit. And it was fucking sick. This kid next to just sang a random lyric to me and I sang the next one back. We had no idea who each other were but we had the same purpose and that's all that mattered.

In other Matt and Kim news I just bought their new album Sidewalks the other day and have been lovinnnnnng all over it since. They have once again outdone themselves.

ALSO tomorrow, well tonight actually (wowww!) me, Mary, Nik and Katie are going to see Say Anything. It's going to be buuuuckwild. Especially with them. Love those girls.

Hopefully later this month I get to see Fun. too. That would make my life.

OH. While on the topic of music I'm going to the NYC Wrockfest on November 21st. Which I'm sooo geeking out over. I won tickets through a twitter contest, even though I would go anyway, and cannot wait to go. Wrock is Harry Potter music. Wrock is my shit. I listen to it more than "normal" music. I've only been to one Wrock show and there were only like 18 people there...including the Wrockers but it totally made my live. Here's a picture of me and Nik with the Whomping Willows (Matt) and the Moaning Myrtles (Lauren). :D

Good Ol' High School.

So I was really unsure about what to name this blog. Of course the first titles that came to mind were way too cliche for my liking so I scrolled through my iTunes for some inspiration. I stumbled upon a few and all I thought was "meh". Then I knew I found what I was looking for. Something that totally sums up my life at the moment, Here Today...Gone Tomorrow. Now I have the version by Rooney but it's originally by the Ramones. Either way I love it.

Oppurtunites generally come once and then they're gone. Poof. I regret so many things in my life. So many. I wish I told my teachers (well some anyway) how much they meant to me, I wish I talked to you just a little more, I wish I had the fucking guts to talk to you. I miss security and routine. I never really though High School would actually end. Naiive right? I wish I could wake up at 6:20 again and go to Mrs. Maxwell's first period class and talk with my best friends until the bell rang telling me to go to Soc. Damn I miss that bell. Here Today...Gone Tomorrow.

Everything's different. I miss my friends goddamnit! I miss electives, I miss crappy school lunches, I MISS THE FUCKING HALLELUJAH CHROUS! Ugh. I was prowling around the High School the other day before a field hockey game and I just wanted to shake all those kids and say "Stop complaing about school! You don't realize how great you have it! Savor ever damn second of it." Savor every damn second. I wish I could go back to the first day of freshman year and savor it. Savor all of it. The bomb scares haha, the countless field hockey practices and pasta parties, seeing friends in the hall everyday, hall monitors lol yep I miss the hall monitors, pep ralleys, morning announcments, child devolpment kids, and everthing else. Literally.

I kind of feel like I miss it so much because I go to CCM. I guess I need to experience new things in order to forget about the old. Well I'm off to class...

Here Today...Gone Tomorrow.
Don't miss your chance.

Not by any means a writer...

just always need to get things off my mind. Yep so I'm blogging. I've always wanted to blog. Actually vlog but since I hate video cameras this was the alternative. First things first, I do not write, I do not use proper grammatics and whatever. Judge me. But please don't :)

This blog is for me. Not for anyone but myself. I will not post it anywhere or publicise it in anyway or so I say now. Anyway I don't really want people to read it, well I do but it's weird I've never done anything like this before. It's like an over done facebook status...

My inspiration? Well since it's National Novel Writing Month (better known as NaNoWriMo) I wanted to contribute in some way and since there is no way in hell I could write 50,000 words this month I decided to blog and will hopefully keep it up! I'm also a blog stalker. Not a stalker really, I just like to see what people come up with, whether I know them or not. I'm nosy what can I say?

Getting on with it. This is me. I'm 19 (which in my opinion is way too old, what the hell happened to childhood?) I go to County College of Morris...and hate it. I will probably regret this decision my whole life but that's for another blog I'm sure. I call Lake Hopatcong home but in reality I'm sure I spend more time at work. I've been working at my current job since Febuary and has since taken over my "life". I have an unhealthy obsession with Harry Potter. No...but really. Hmmm...my friends mean the world to me and I feel like everyone says that but I truly mean it. I think I try too hard sometimes though...damn you CCM for giving me no friends. I guess that's it. My life is totally unplanned and I'm definitely not ready for it..
