The Astonishing Tales of Thirteen Disreputable Histories of Beasts in the Striped Pajamas and How Living Dead Girls Through the Ages

The above title is the combined title of the books I got since y'all last heard from me. A virtual hug to anyone who figures out the books. Some of them are obvious and some are not. (Nine in total)

My Christmas was excellent! The two biggest things I received were a new phone (which I desperately needed as my old phone hates me.) and Caroll Spinney's Autograph. Who is Caroll Spinney you ask? (As I am sure most of you have no clue who he is. I didn't until I read his book.) He is one of my heroes. He is Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. Yep, my one of my heroes is a muppeteer. Do not mock until you have read the book [The Wisdom of Big Bird (and the Dark Genius of Oscar the Grouch) I highly recommend it. Very short but very great.]

Frankee: I think we forgive you about posting a little late. Surgery=No Fun

Ch: YaY!!! You finished your socks!

Do you think making a book 8 to deal with the next generation of kids (Rose, James, Teddy etc...) would be overkill on the series?
Yes, That is fanfic's job.

What HP related stuff do you want to do in 2009?
Get my wizrock band moving.
Go to a convention.

What is your favorite era of Fanfic to read? (Marauders, Trio, or Kids)
Marauders. It probably has to do with the fact that I love Remus Lupin.

See you tomorrow whoever,
Odette

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years :P

It's monday again! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas :DDD
I've been watching Charmed all week. I got season two for Christmas, heh. I also got speakers for my iPod (they work for my computer as well, which is awesome :D), and headphones with a microphone so I can finally get started with that Skype thing. I haven't installed it yet, but if anyone of you feel like speaking to me there when I do, just say so :P
And I finished my Slytherinsocks! :D

Odette Yay for the party being awesome :D

Frankee No, I didn't really have time, since I had to study for that chemistry test, and being several hours ahead most of the people there (have I mentioned I really hate time zones?). And jaw surgery sounds tough. My sisters friend had one of those a couple of years ago, she couldn't eat solid food for a really long time. Hope you're not swollen for too long! :D

Others (Katie and Nina) I'm not blaming you for not posting ;) Christmas is busy...I just hope the reason you didn't post was because of something worse than that :)

Do you write fanfic? If so, where? What is it about?
I don't, but I used to. Fan fiction was my first meeting with fandom. I started posting fanfics on a swedish HP fanforum, and that was when I got good at writing (the things I wrote then weren't that good, but I got constructive comments that made me work on it). They were all pretty bad and since then I've found having it easier to write stuff that's all mine.

Do you think making a book 8 to deal with the next generation of kids (Rose, James, Teddy etc...) would be overkill on the series?
Yes. As much as I love Hank's Book Eight song, I really don't want a book eight. Before book 7 I kind of wanted Harry to die, just so Jo wouldn't have the temptation to write another HP book. I know she's too awesome for that though. The series were always meant to be seven books, and I think it should be left that way.

My question, What HP related stuff do you want to do in 2009?
I want to write some good wizard rock and go to the swedish HP con Expecto Patronus 09. But mostly I just want to hang out with awesome Potter people ;)

Happy New year! :D

/Your sock wearing Slytherin Monday.

Thursday, December 25, 2008

heh..

Ok, so I'm a day late.. but I actually have a very good excuse!

Ch: did you join in on any of the blogtv commnent attacks? [talking about p4a] that was the most fun. & like Odette said..yay for jingspells 2!

nina: post on wednesday next week - and I'll post on thursday! (:




What would be the coolest ride that you would want to be in the theme park?
something to do with hogwarts-- maybe something in the dungeons!!

Have you ever given someone a Harry Potter related Christmas present?
actually, no. & I'm kind of sad I didn't get any this year..but it's all good. (:

Do you Write FanFic? If so, where? What is it about? I wish I was that talented.


my question time!
where I come up with a really bad question..
hmm
do you think making a book 8 to deal with the next generation of kids(rose, james, teddy, etc..) would be overkill on the series?

[12/23/08] In which Odette is totally jazzed about Christmas!

I love Christmas. I love the whole season and the actual day is almost here!

I got all of my Christmas shopping done except for my stepsister. She is IN LOVE with Twilight (Just typing that makes me twitch). So I decided I would get her a CD of TwiRock for Christmas. I was counting on downloading the songs off of MySpace but I cannot figure out how to do it since they changed the way they do things. So I might be making her some Christmas Crack: http://libba-bray.livejournal.com/2007/12/18/

Tomorrow a church I am acolyting the late service for the first time which should be fun. One of my best friends is crucifer. I am one of the torches and we will make mischief together and celebrate Jesus!

My party was EPIC! Everyone had a great time! Two people cancelled at the last minute but the promise that they are going to make it up to me.

Frankee: I did not participate in the P4A because it was my birthday and I had to spend it with family. I am sure you did great though.

Nina: Your BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! And your birthday is tomorrow! Happy Early Birthday!

Kate: *Sings* Katie Franco where did ya go? Oh Katie Franco where did you go? (Random Project Runway reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeYk17ECT9Y)

Ch: YaY for Jingle Spells 2! I want it but I have no money in my itunes. :(

QUESTIONS!

What would the coolest ride that you would want to be in the theme park?
I think they could do a lot with the Gringotts!

Have you ever given someone a Harry Potter related Christmas present?
I gave my mom and step mom the Order of the Pheonix DVD.

Neville Pushes Snape off the astronomy tower. What is your reaction?
it depends when. What do we know? Where in the series does it take place?

Do you Write FanFic? If so, where? What is it about?
I do. On Quizilla! http://www.quizilla.com/user/brewnetodette33/ Mine is about the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain, Artemesia, in the Marauder's era. She has a boyfriend that she has loved since they first met but soon a pair of golden eyes change that all!

That's all! Have a Lovely Holiday! See you tomorrow Frankee (or Nina if you are switching)
Odette!

Monday, December 22, 2008

Wooooh!

Hey wloggers, it's Monday!
I got my Christmas break on the 19th, and the fact that there was no school today made me almost forgetting to post :P
I've been having an annoying cold, but that doesn't matter today, cuz I got Jingle Spells 2 in the mail today! :'''D It's so awesome <33

Odette Congrats on winning at fencing! :DDD And hope your party was awesome!

Frankee I loved P4A! I commented as much as I could, I had to study for a chemistry test though xO

Nina I'm sorry you don't have time to post on Thursdays :S I do vlogs on Thursdays aswell so I can't switch with you, sorry :/

Kate You didn't post this week, I hope you're okay!

What is one food or drink you wish you could have from Hogwarts?
Butterbeer probably. It seems so good :'D <3

What would the coolest ride that you would want to be in the theme park?
Ford Anglia ride sounds good :P

My question! Have you ever given someone a Harry Potter related Christmas presen?

Hope you all have a merry christmas! :D

Thursday. I am soooo SORRY!

Omg you guys. My life has been so hectic lately. I'm really sorry that i havent been blogging. I was actually wondering if anyone would trade me days? I have figured out that Thursdays are actually my bussiest day!!!! I am actually seldom home on thurs. It's pretty sad. I also have to do a video log on thursdays too and i can not possibly do this and that! So, anyone that would be willing to trade days please post.

Anywho, the actual reason why i can even post today is because we are having an EPIC SNOWSTORM!!!!! There is like 4 feet on the ground and all the schools are closed. So i had time to do this :] It's actually pretty crazy. A lot of people can't even get out of their houses it is so bad and cars are getting stuck left and right. Oh well. School is off for Winter Break and i can be nothing but HAPPY!!!

Ouestions:
Which HP character do you like the most? Is it the one you seem more like (yes/no) and why?

My favorite HP character has to be either Albus Dumbledore, Harry, or Oliver Wood. Dumbledore is just so awesome with his crazy old manish ways and his powerful magic. Harry is just plain cool. I mean the scar says it all. Oliver Wood. Have you seen him? AND he's captain of the quidditch team. Can't get much better than that.

Which is your favorite HP Christmas?

The first one, of course!!! It's just such a happy turning point in Harry's life. His first presents, first Christmas with people he loves. Isn't that what Christmas is all about?

What is one food or drink you wish you could have from Hogwarts?
Butterbeer for sure!!! Pumkin juice actually doesnt sound too bad to me. I think both would be delicious!

Neville Snape off the astronomy tower. What is your reaction?
I dont get this lol. Are you saying that Neville and Snape jump off the tower? I'm confuzzled lol.

My question: What would be the coolest ride that you would want to be in the theme park?

I would deinitely want to ride in the Weasley's Ford Anglia or go on a ride through the underground mines of Gringots. A hippogriff ride would also be AMAZING!

Alrighty, I'll talk to you guys soon! Happy belated birthday Odette!!!! That is so cool that you turned sixteen. I turn sixteen in six days!!!!!

I need to get back to that! o.o

from now on I'm going to just post comments on all of your posts. (:

questions:
Which HP character do you like the most? Is it the one you seem more like (yes/no) and why?
my favorite is Ron Weasley.
We share..certain qualities? Such assss...we are both terrified of spiders!
and lazy when it comes to homework. [I am, however, considered "smart". I ace all the tests.I just don't do the homework.You can see how this conflicts.]

Which is your favorite HP Christmas?
I agree. First one. Harry gets christmas presents for the first time! & the invisibility cloak!
It makes me smile. xD

What is one food or drink you wish you could have from Hogwarts?
Butterbeer. Yes.
Pumpkin juice doesn't sound appealing.
The theme park will probably sell butterbeer!

my question:
Neville Snape off the astronomy tower. What is your reaction?

hahah. this shall be interesting.

[12/16/08] In which Odette has much excitment!

Tomorrow is my birthday! I am really really excited!

Today I have my first exam then I am the defense attorney in Napoleon's Mock trial. Then I do not have to go to biology!

Friday is my Harry Potter birthday party! And some of my camp friends are coming and I am so excited because I never get to see them!!! I definitely spazzed out on the bus when I got my friend Molly's message saying she could come!

Last night at fencing, I got the Gold Medal for First year Foil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited because this is the first time that I have won something for a sport other than the thanks for playing trophies!

I started a new blog! This one is just mine! http://episcopaliangirl.blogspot.com/ It is actually the deeper side of me that most of my friends don't see.

Frankee: After reading your post about the release, I looked into it to see if I could go and then I realized it was too late. But that is so cool that you got to go!

Nina: Where have you gone?

Katie: I love the new layout but is there supposed to be something at the top? If so my comp won't let me view it.

Ron: I am very curious as to how you got cheese on you glasses....

Which is the thickest Harry Potter book you can balance on your head?
The very largest one!

Would you buy a Harry Potter prop replica (the marauder's map)?
I have a little timeturner...

Which HP character do you like the most? Is it the one you seem more like and why?
Remus Lupin! I think I am like him when he was younger, except for the whole werewolf thing...
{Side bar!!! I went to a church retreat where we had to bring stuffed animals and I forgot mine. I made a ghost out of tissues and it was the ghost of Remus!)

Which is your favorite HP Christmas?
The first one! I love when Harry get actual presents!

What is one food or drink you wish you could have from Hogwarts?
Butterbeer!

See ya tomorrow Frankee! (when I am 16!!!)

December 15th :D

Hey...I think I have cheese on my glasses. And I'm veryveryvery tired, so I won't be long. Sorry.

LAN stands for Local Area Network, which basically means you put together a network of computers together with wires for a weekend or so, and then you play computer games against other people there. I guess it's kind of swedish, the biggest LAN in the world (Dreamhack) is held in Sweden. Some classes in my school has programming on their schedules, and my class is one of them (I would expalin this better, but then I would have to explain the whole Swedish school system, which I'm willing to do, just contact me if so), so that's why people throw these things. I'm not really a gamer but it's fun.


Odette Fencing, cool!

Frankee Sorry you were the only person at the Beedle the Bard release, but yay for winning all the prizes x)

Kate That is one fantastic dream! And nice layout :P
(I was talking to my friend about socks today. I immediatley thought of Dobby...)

Nina Hope you're back this week! ^^


Which is the thickest Harry Potter book you can balance on your head?
Hah, I don't think I've ever tried. I think I'll try it when I'm less tired, I'll probably get back to this next week (then I have my Christmas break) ;)

Would you buy a Harry Potter prop replica (the marauder's map)?
Well, I think I'd just be dissapointed if I bought the marauder's map, since it wouldn't show me if Peter Pettigrew was running around the grounds. And I'd probably by something more useful, like a scarf or something ^^

Which HP character do you like the most? Is it the one you seem more like and why?
I don't have a set favorite character like most people I know do, which feels weird for me. There are people I just kind of really love when I read the books and they do something awesome, like Neville, or McGonagall. I don't really think I'm like on of them, but Neville's a really awesome character, and I love his developement, and McGonagall is a really awesome and strong woman, she kicks ass! I might want to be like her when I get older ;)

My question...Which is your favorite HP Christmas? I can't really decide, but I think I will reread all the Christmases next week ;)

Happy Holidays!

SURPRISE!

What do you guys think?
Do you notice something different?
Is it tacky enough?
Wait 'till you try making a list inside an entry...

I'll be adding a couple of widgets soon.

Please feel free to add all the items you want to the wish list and the holidays jokes and quoutes list, there's no one item per person policy!

I'd really like some feedback, and don't fret, I still have our original layout safely tucked into my desktop :D

Have a Hogsome week!
-Kate

Relax, take it easy...

*NOTE: I wrote this on Saturday and posted it on Sunday. I'm not sure which is worse...

“I have a dream, a dream of a kingdom where Sir Mika’s ‘Relax, take it easy’ is the national anthem, where teenagers roam free and art teachers are naught but a child’s nightmare. A world where pokemon are man’s best friend, where there’s a Tim Burton appreciation week and required readings butt out 18th century romantic literature (because the 19th was way better) and welcome 21st century Young adult fantasy novels. A world where NaNoWriMo’s worth half of the Lit class grade and where ‘Doodles’ 101’ isn’t an elective, but a mandatory class. FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!”

Ahhh, the power of wlogging, where you can quote, mix and mangle Martin Luther King and William Wallace’s words in a few keystrokes.

Yes, I felt like writing an inspiring speech today...
Either way, Friday was my last exam (English language - piece of cake) and even if I didn’t do as well as I would have liked, NO MORE EXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
W00t!

I haven’t been able to read your last couple of posts, so I was up late yesterday (Friday) so I could do just that.

I’ll ask and comment on things that are a bit old, but that I didn’t get a chance to or missed before, so please bear with me.

Ron: Slytherin socks?! *Squinty eyes* did I ever mention I have a Dobby complex? Yes, well, my last acquisition was a pair of silver-robots-on-pink-background socks XD they rock! I’d buy Paper Towns on Amazon if my dad didn’t have a personal feud with PayPal…
Awwwww, I want Spanish Potter friends! O.o wait, I think I do… YES! I DO INFACT HAVE SPANISH POTTERFRIENDS! But mostly girls from school, not people I’ve met in (non-existing) Potter events.
Ha! Yeah, I can see it now. “Lord of the Rings IV: In which Frodo (finally) gets laid and lives happily ever after” I heard Boromir gets resurrected in this one *crosses fingers*. What’s LAN? I’ll be checking out your English blog after I post this. Early Christmas break? The year before last it started on the 7th.

Odette: Thanksgiving might be the eating holiday in the USA, but in Latin America and Spain that practically describes the whole of November and December. In January, you see the parks full of people jogging, trying to find atonement for their diet sinning.
This might sound… misinformed of me, but what’s Black Friday?
Oddish is sooooooooooooooooo cute! You totally should dress up as an Oddish for Halloween XD
YOU FENCE?! That’s so cool, you’re like a Xena/Marie Antonette! XD
Thanks for checking out my DeviantArt! :D Ooooooo, your B-Day… expect something from me in your inbox *hums ‘Something wicked this way comes’*…

Frankee: are you thinking about being a professional photographer? Because I checked your DeviantArt account and well… Me ----> O.O “WOW!”

Nina: Where are you?! I'm glad you had a cool Thanksgiving. What do you like to do for Christmas? Any family traditions? Would you pretty please -with a cherry on top- write a very, very, very, VERY long post? I wanna hear more about you! :D

I got a henna tattoo!
And I’m planning on making more Nerdfighter apparel (check out my Nerdfighter profile for pics of my self-blingged Nerdfighter hoodie!).

As I’m writing this in Office Word, because I’m not in my house and I don’t have access to the internet right now, so believe you me, this is coming in LATE!
Ohhh, and I’ll have to edit this later to add the Q&A section.

But you’ll forgive me after you see my Christmas Wlog Surprise :D

Q&A


Which is the thickest Harry potter book you can balance on your head?

Haven't tried to do that, does a magazine with Daniel Radcliffe on the cover count?
I'll go balance Deathly Hollows in a bit.

Which HP fansite is your favorite?

Hmmm...I rarely visit fansites, but I really like a couple of Potterfans livejournals if it counts.
Oh! and The HP wiki :)

Have you bought Jingle Spells 2?

No, I'll look it upo though.

Would you buy a harry potter prop replica?

I might... Do they sale potion chauldrons?

Mine: Which HP character do you like the most? Is it the one you seem more like (yes/no) and why?

Hmmm, my favorite character is Severus, but I'm not very much like him. I am very sarcastic at times but not enough to go into the dark side :D
I think I daydream and dream soooooo much, I'm more like Luna. Nothing's imposible in my mind. She's really hagsome.

Happy Holidays!
Kate

P.S.: Today is a hogsome day because… It snowed and I’m going to start knitting my Slythindor scarf :D
P.S.: I have a new haircut, I'll take picture soon!

Thursday, December 11, 2008

Ahh. I totally forgot yesterday.
I remembered this morning 2 minutes before I had to leave for the bus.
I'm sorryy.

The Beedle Bard Midnight release = I was the only person who went. xP but the workers were cool, and I automatically got all the prizes xD

Blah. So, I have to go clean a bunch because my mom is having a big christmas party tonight >.<
and I'm tired as helll.

questions:
What is your favorite holiday movie and song?
how the grinch stole christmas. I don't have a favorite song, I hate Christmas music at the moment <.<

Have you bought Jingle Spells 2?
No, but I will soon.

Which is the thickest Harry potter book you can balance on your head?
I can balance them all on my head. :)

mine:
Would you buy a harry potter prop replica?(the the marauder's map)
I might <.<

[12/9/08] In which Odette is in the opposite mood from last week.

Yes last week I was very grumbly, sick and upset. My sister was coming home. My cold forced me to leave school early and not go out to dinner with my family so as not to infect them. So i did not have to see my sister! Though she is coming home Friday, I am trying to live in the moment.

Last night at my Fencing Lessons, I was the only girl save for the moms. We continued our pool from the week before because we are doing a little tournament thing and the winners get medals. So about three people from my pool were not there. I had yet to fence any of them so they all forfeited their matches with me. So I fenced three of the guys that were there. I beat each one! Also the coach found out that one of the guys was in French 1 and started calling the bouts in French. I am in French 3 and I am not doing very well because the subjunctive=my enemy passe compose=my worst enemy. But I understood everything he said and why he said it!

Frankee: SO I was sad about your inability to knit and I was trying to find you a comic strip I had seen but no luck. I am just going to describe it even thought it will not be as funny. There is a snake sitting there with knitting needles. He is reading a book entitled "Anyone Can Knit" and the caption reads "Lenard was hopeful"

Katie: You must have a long winter break. My exams start next week (I have two on my birthday!) So we get about two weeks off and then it is right back to school!

Ron: What is LAN? I is very curious. Oh and that sucks about the Nazis. WWII fascinates me. I think that is one of the reasons that I love Harry Potter so much because of the similarities between it and WWII. I actually did a report on Hitler in 6th grade. I chose to read this ginormous book. Here is a very funny video about WWII: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6omQ5JjjLsE

Honestly, do you like Snape, as a character?
Yes and no. He is a complicated man so he deserves a complicated answer.

What is your favorite holiday movie and song?
Movie, changes a lot, but today it shall be The muppets A Christmas Carol.
Song is always and will always be :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz7Oc4CwkIQ (Very sick and twisted but I love the Cheiftans!)

Have you bought Jingle Spells 2?
Not yet I am asking for it for my bday!

Which is the thickest Harry potter book you can balance on your head?
I don't have my books with me but I will do it by next week.

See you tomorrow Frankee!
Odette

December 8th.

Hey, it's Monday again! Hope you all had a good weekend :)

The Beedle The Bard release thing I went to was really awesome! I was there for ten hours, and even though it rained a lot (a lot, yes) the last hours, it was really fun to hang out with my Potter friends <3
We tricked a few people who asked about what we were camping out there for, we said that we were waiting for the fourth Lord Of The Rings book. Three people believed us xD

Other things that have been going on here in Sweden...there was a bunch of nazis in my little village this weekend demonstrating >.< I hate theeem, they come every year and make my village more notsome that it is, and we haven't done anything! xO

I was at my school all weekend though, we had a LAN :P It was awesome, but I miss it and a certain person is very cute when he's sleeping, and I don't want to have a crush on hiiim. Eh. xD anywho...

Questions!

If your 16th birthday was themed Harry Potter, what would you do?
Have a sorting! And a Hagrid cake ;)

Honestly, do you like Snape, as a character?
Hm. I don't love him, I don't hate him. I think he's a really good character to have in there, and he did a lot of good things.

What is your favorite holiday movie and song?
Movie, Love Actually! It's so sweet <3
Song, Hogwarts Is Home For Christmas by The Brothers Black. It's awesome <3

Okay, my question...Have you bought Jingle Spells 2? I've bought it, but it hasn't arrived yet, which I didn't really expect x) but I can't wait for it to get here :'D

I have no idea what to say now. Hm. I'm going to start a personal blog in English x) read it? Anyway, I hope you'll have a great week!
/The Slytherin Girl.

Christmas Cheer!

Yes, it's me again, the last-minute-blogger...
But, alas, it's still finals week and it'll still be next week, so...
Yesterday I stayed up 'till 3am studying for an Art History, only to wake up at 7am to keep studying. So, no, this isn't the way to start a weekend, but hey, this weekend includes Monday, because I don't have school on Monday (some festivity or whatnot), of course, I do have four exams next week, plus 2 art assignments due, one of which is a copy of a Titian (or Tiziano) painting (piece of cake! -not) and another which is 50% of our grade (isn't my drawing teacher just the cutest?)...
But anyway, my rant/vent is over now. Happy face.
It's been really, really, Really cold this week, and on Monday it even snowed for 5minutes! I was awesome, It's the closest I've been to real snow :D
And well, Christmas is coming soon!!!
I'm a very, very, Very christmas-y person, even if I'm all 'the Grinch' right now (that's just the exams making me crabbie)...
So, last Sunday, in my curch confirmation group we made Christmas wreathes and so this week I decided that I was gonna make one for my house (purely decorative, not religious) and so that's what I was doing 'till a couple of minutes ago :) I'll put up a picture later...
Sorry I haven't read your posts this week, but I've been zombie-like, fueled by coffee.
As soon as I'm done with exams, I'll live, breath and dream blogger :D

But I have a super-secret-special-project I'm doing for the blog, I'll get to it next weekend, hopefuly :) Can you guys guess what it is? No, you can't Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Questions, Questions and more questions, Oh my!

If your 16th birthday party was themed Harry Potter, what would you do?
Well, for one, I'd have to be my 18th birthday party (I turned 17 on November 13!), but being 18 would mean, not just butterbeer, but Firewhisky too! Hurray!
Well, I'd have a Puppet Pals marathon, I'd do all kinds of witchy snacks (sugar quills and pumpkin pasties), but then, I'd also like to have British food, like a complete British breakfast, even if it's at night. I'd also like to recite "The witches chant" form Macbeth around a chauldron, so I could show my husband that I'm not a failure at potions (Oh, Potions Master, you make my heart go boom, boom, boom... *swoon* *SQUEE!*) and becouse the whole "Double, double boil and bubble... Something wiked this way comes" is way too cool and I know THE WHOLE poem, I learned it when I was 14 (so proud! :D). So yeah, that's about it... Oh, robes too!

Have you ever knitted anything HP related?
Hmmm... I actually bought knitting needles and yarn a couple of hours ago so this questions is *strangely* cointidential, but no, I guess I'll by the Green and Silver yarn next time ;)
I've actualy never knitten before, but I said to myself "use your brain, Kate, log on youtube! It has all the answers..."

Honestly, do you like Snape, as a character?
Well, seeing as I'm married to said potions master...
I just... I'd had liked that J.K. had written more profound thing about while while he was STILL ALIVE... but well, that's what fanfictions for, right? ('couse HP would NEVER have such a ginourmous fanbase without fanfiction).

By the way, I propose as my question this (or next) week, what is your favorite holiday movie and song?

Mine's The Polar Express (but I change every year :D) and 'Home for the holidays' (don't know who sings it).

TTFN & DFTBA
Merry Yuletide!
-Kate

P.S.: I AM SOOOO EDITING THIS LATER AFTER I READ ALL OF YOUR POSTS ;)
P.S.S.: Saw Twilight. Don't even let me begin on that...urg!

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

SQUEE.

Ok,does it count if I type out something kind of fast and edit it past midnight? xD
I just found out 30 minutes ago that Borders is having a release party for tales of beedle the bard. Having missed all the other ones , and this being my final chance.......... I REALLY WANT TO GO. I wish I didn't get into a fight with my mom this morning because it's all riding on her saying yes xD Plus I need $50 ..
eeek. I cleaned my room. Hahah.

I'm over enthusiastic right now.

did you hear about people already getting the book? Jessicalestrange made a video about how she was able to get one eary. I was jealous.

If you listen to wizard rock, what is your favorite band?
I listen to the Mudbloods, Remus Lupins, Whomping Willows, Parselmouths, Moaning Myrtles, Alas! Earwax, Ministry of Magic(fave) and more..

Is there any blog/s or vlog/s you like to watch/obsess about?
I really like the fiveawesomegirls. I am subscribed to 134 people on youtube, and enjoy all of their videos. About 30% of those people post HP related videos. I'm too lazy to type up a list right now xP . I don't really read any blogs, though. I'm all new to this blogging thing :D

Have you ever knitted anything HP related?
I can't knit for my life.

If your 16th birthday party was themed Harry Potter, what would you do?
I would definitely go here: http://potterparties.com/recipes
That'd be a lot of fun to make.
Maybe a movie marathon? Or Harry Potter Scene it or other board games.
have fun!

Ah, I'm horrible with coming up with questions.
Honestly, do you like Snape, as a character?
I actually really do. I'll go in more depth when I have time to update.... but for now I have to go clean some more!

bye!

[12/2/08] Having a cold sucks.

So it is yet another Tuesday.

Last week for me kinda sucked and this week is going to suck. Why you ask? My sister. She came home from college for Thanksgiving (That holiday where you eat too much) and I cannot stand being around my sister. She irritates me beyond belief. It is possibly more irritating how everyone else changes when she is around. I have to stop myself when ranting about her because it can get very ugly very fast. But she is coming home tomorrow as it is her birthday.


Frankee: Pokemon? Explain please. I was never very big into Pokemon.

Nina:
You did not have to post on a Holiday! But it is nice that you did. Black Friday scares the crap out of me. The people dying and having a miscarriage. I would never go shopping then.

Kate: I really love the Book of Secrets idea! That is so cool! I really like Won't You Fallow me?

Ch: Congrats of finishing your NaNo Novel! I am still really upset that I had to quit but I am going to continue to write my novel. But I really want to know what you novel is about!!!

Anyways onto the questions:

Refer to pages 706-707 in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...what do you think the alien like thing is?
I agree with Ron. It is the part of Voldemort's soul in Harry.

If you listen to wizard rock, what is your favorite band?
Too many to name! I really love the Mudbloods, the Remus Lupins, Draco and the Malfoys, the Whomping Willows, Hermione Crookshanks Experience, the Grey Ladies, Gred and Forge, the Moaning Myrtles, the Parselmouths and of course Krum Viddy.

Is there any blog/s or vlog/s you like to watch/obsess about?
Well I do check Strangely Nerdy Strangers a little too often, but then again I am Friday so I have a right. We Are Nerdfighters, (I was their First Saturday Nerdfighter guest!) I do watch Scandinavians in your pants but I am still catching up. Libba Bray's Blog.

Have you ever knitted anything HP related?
I am in the process of knitting my house scarf. It is coming slowly but surely.

My question is, If your 16th birthday party was themed Harry Potter, what would you do? *hangs head in shame* Yes I am using this for my own selfish gain. My birthday party is going to be HP themed. my friend Sarah is coming over sometime to help me plan it but I really have no ideas. I thought maybe y'all could help me! (My birthday is Dec 17th!)

See you tomorrow Frankee!

December 1st!

Hey wloggers, it's Monday. And December, omg! My sister moves out in about one month ;o

I'm very tired and have a headache (must be NaNo-side effects – I'm done, by the way, and when I've come around to edit the thing I will make sure you get to read it if you want to :D), so this won't be a long post.

But, in spite of things being generally a pain, today is hogsome because I'm getting ready with my Slytherin socks (I've been working on them since March...I took a long break, though), and I've thought of an awesome costume for the Beedle The Bard release thing I'm going to on Wednesday night :D I'll post some pictures next week! :D

Kate!
They don't have Paper Towns here either, I had to buy it from Amazon...and it took a long while...apparently it went via New Zealand? :O
Hope your exam goes well, and that your computer will get better soon :)

Nina!
I hope your Thanksgiving was awesome :D We don't have it in Sweden, but it seems like a pretty good holiday :P

Frankee!
Hope the getting Paper Towns to your school goes awesome! I actually got a friend who lives in the south of Sweden, and he got his school to buy like, thirty Paper Towns books, so a whole class could read it, which is awesome since it's really hard to find John's books here :D
And polaroid cameras...I think those are really cool! Me wants :P

Odette!
Hope your hand gets better soon!

Questions!
If you had to choose the next Hogwarts headmaster after McGonagall, who would you choose?
Hm, Flitwick would be a great one! Sorry I'm so boring, but I can't think of anyone else ;o

Refer to pages 706-707 in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...what do you think the alien like thing is?
Isn't the thing just the bit of Voldemort's soul that was in Harry? And the thing about killing a child, I thought of that as just Dumbledore talking about how that piece of soul ended up in Harry :O

If you listen to wizard rock, what is your favorite band?
Oh, let's see. I really like the Moaning Myrtles and Ministry Of Magic. And How Airplanes Fly. Nevilles and the Trevor. The Swedish Shortsnouts. I could go on for a while...

Is there any blog/s or vlog/s you like to watch/obsses about?
Oh. Heh. Vlogbrothers, of course. Fiveawesomegirls. Hayleyghoover (although I don't know if that counts as a vlog?). I've been a little busy with my NaNo the past month, so I've mostly just watched and made videos on my own collabchannel, Scandinavians In Your Pants :)

As for my question...hm. Have you ever knitted anything HP related? Pictures are welcome :D

So that's all for me, I'm going to go and knit! :P
/Your Slytherin girl Ch!
