I found the most amazingest thing ever yesterday!!
A Very Potter Musical.
I normally hate musicals, but this one is just beyonf funny. I literay rolled around laughing it's that good.
If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you go on youtube.com to watch it. You will not regret it.
In other news, someone called work today from Scotland.
Scotland!
That's like, almost on the other side of the word from where I live (I'm only assuming this because I have no idea where Scotland is). Anyway I thought it was the awesomest thing ever! I've never spoken to someone from Scotland before. More epicness.

Bullets! Epic Fail!
-No need to remind me that I'm lazy, I am well aware of that. :D
-Since my last post, I got my laptop fixed. We had to send it back to Future Shop, where they concluded that there was a program conflict before formatting everything and sending it back for me to reload everything. Luckily for me, I had already backed up everything, just to make the notice that kept popping up go away. Fucking back up notice...
-I'm still at my job at the cultural center. It's a very good job. I get to sit around playing on my laptop waiting for the phone to ring, or I go in the boutique or work on the paperwork for it. And a few times last month I was in the garage in the back painting signs. I got to watch Conan and Escaflowne while I did it so I had fun.
-Two of my cousins from America came down for about a week or two, can't remember. That was fun. We had a movie night just about every night and we all went out to eat once. There was me, my brothers, my cousins and our friend, and then we were joined by this little twit that keeps stalking my brothers.
-Speaking of this twit, I am becoming increasingly annoyed with him and his stupid parents. I long to just punt him right out of the yard, but he's 11 and I'm 18, so I'd probably get arrested for child abuse or something like that.
-Speaking of 18, I had my birthday last month. I was at work and my boss had hidden me in the back so I wasn't at the front desk. Then I went out front to ask a question and saw a lot of my family crowded around the front desk. And then I went out to the restaurant to find my three grandparents, my parents, my brothers, my cousins and the people I work with all seated at a large table. Surprise birthday party, I almost died. So we all ate and talked and generally goofed off. Then, one of the restaurant people showed up with a cake and the whole restaurant joined in to sing happy birthday to me. That was beyond epic.
-And then I got an DQ ice cream cake/pizza/pie dealie thing when I got home.
-Then my cousins left, and that sucks. There was a chance that they might be able to come back down, but so far they haven't turned up.
-Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hit theatres down here on July 15, we went to see it last Monday. It takes about an hour and a half to get to the theatre from where we live. So we left about an hour and 45 minutes earlier than the movie (which was playing at 3:00). We were going fine for a while, then we hit the eternal road construction. I call it eternal because there seems to always be road construction when we go up that way. So we were stuck for about 20 minutes in a lineup of cars, waiting to be let through. It was slow going because we were following a long lineup of cars. Me and one of my brothers were counting down the minutes and we figured that we had a slight chance of making it if we didn't fuck around.
Then we hit more road construction. That's when I started making the death threats. We contemplated just waiting for the next showing (which was at 6:25) and I refused to hang around in the malls or whatever for over 3 hours. So we begged Dad to step on it so we could make the 3:00 showing.
We reached the theatre about 10 minutes after three o'clock. We waited in line for about 5 minutes, ran through the ticket checker booth thing, whirled through the bathroom and dove into our theatre seats to realize that we had missed about 5 minutes of the movie.
Whatever, we were there and we weren't moving. The movie ran a little over two hours and was... eh... yeah. The book was way better, even though Harry was even more of a stalker and I found that very annoying but, whatever. Also, the part where the identity of the Half-Blood Prince was revealed was insanely anticlimactic. And it didn't say why buddy called himself HBP, it was ridiculous.
But I still can't wait for the last two movies to come out (they're doing the last book in two parts, thank God).
-So, after realizing that I had no idea what went on in the beginning of the sixth book, I decided that rereading it would be a good idea. Only problem was, I didn't want to reread it (the book it fucking huge). And then I didn't want to reread it without rereading the other books, which I always thought were better than the movies, and I don't own the fourth book so that could pose a problem. So I did the next best thing.
I download all seven Harry Potter audio books from the Internet and have been listening to them instead of rereading them. It's basically the same thing, except I don't have to read. Because I rarely just sit and read anymore, which sucks, but that's life.
-While listening to the audio books (I'm in the middle of the fourth one now), I realized that I had forgotten nearly everything that wasn't covered in the movies. I really enjoyed listening to the random scenes that weren't 'good enough' to make it into the movies. Quiddich at the Weasley's, the description of the campsite at the Quiddich World Cup, the tiny walking Krum figurine, the Weasleys getting stuck in the Dursley's fireplace, Snape freaking right the fuck out after Sirius escapes, and other little things like that. I'm now very glad that I decided to listen to the audio books.
-Speaking of little details, I was at the end of the third book, in the last chapter, where the Dursley's are picking Harry up from King's Cross station and Harry lets it slip that he has a murdering godfather who likes to check up on him from time to time. I giggled for 10 minutes straight after that. My brothers thought that I had lost it.
-During the chapter in the fourth book when Harry, Ron and Hermione are at the Quiddich World Cup, when the trio goes to the pump for water, they have to line up to wait their turn and overhear a conversation between two wizards about a pair of muggle pants. I remembered, the first time I had read the book, hearing that exact same conversation in a flash cartoon on the Internet. I searched for it and quickly found it. Then I listened to it, remembered it from years before, and promptly fell over laughing. (here it is)
-My family reunion is coming up this weekend. As I have never attended one of these before, and my dad's family is just made of awesome, I am beyond excited. It also coincides with the annual festival, so this should be fun indeed.
