Hey GURLS! 1/28

My oh my. I know i haven't posted in a while and for that i am sincerely sorry. I have been majorly busy. FINALS, are tommoro and Friday. I'm seriously gonna walk into the classroom, sit down, and start crying. I'm am so freaked out. I have an AP World History Test tommoro, English essay, and then to wrap it all up a MATH test. Then on Friday i have a music theory/ Orchestra test, a French test, and a science test! What a cruel world it is. Hope you guys are having more fun where your at :] Oh yea, i have to go get radio training and go to a meeting for a club i'm in tommoro and on Friday. Then i have to go help out with my friends surprise birthday party. It's gonna be a crazy, fun few days!

Do You listen to HP podcasts?
Wizard rock is extordinary! This isn't music related, but have you guys seen the Harry Potter Intervention? It is hilarious. Look it up on Youtube :]

What are your favorite quotes from HP?
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live..."

"To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

"Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."

“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love. By returning, you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed, fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say good-bye for the present.”


Harry Potter quotes are something to live by :]

My Question: If tommor you found out that you were a witch and that you were invited to go to school at Hogwarts, what would you do? Would you go? What would you bring?

If this happened to me i would be ecstatic! I'd pack my bags, get a cat, and head to Hogwarts as soon as i could! I'd also get a broom :]

Well, i better go study now. I'll see ya in a bit.
Love ya'll!
Bye!
Nina!

[1/27/09] In which Odette is utterly sick.

You all are not gone! Yay! Well we have still lost Frankee and Nina but 2 out of 4 ain't bad.

My audition went well, at least I thought it did but it doesn't really matter what I think now does it? It matters what the director thinks. I am Widow #2, Medic #1, and Matey #1. Yes I know that is probably the weirdest assortment of characters ever but this play is weird in a hilarious way.

I have this really horrible cold. I have no energy and I cough, sneeze and a whole bunch of other gross stuff. i went to the doc yesterday and my mom and I waited 40 mins to find out that I have a cold! and I should continue to take over the counter stuff and then he gave me an antibiotic just in case it is not a regular cold!

Katie: I am mostly upset that the kids talked through it because the CHIEF JUSTICE screwed up! Not Obama! I wish I had gotten to see more of it but alas apparently the only important part to see was his speech which I thought was a bit lackluster but still good. Your deivantart link is nonexistent. I think it is time to put away the festive holiday layout.

Ron: I love all the things you knitted! Especially the nerdPod that is so cute! I also love the name of your Ipod!

Do You listen to HP podcasts? I listen to WZRD rock! I love them!

I redecorated my room and I want to put a quote on the wall from one of my favorite books so HP is included in that so What are your favorite quotes from HP? I really like "It is our choices that show who we truly are far more than our abilities."

I am going to go sleep now because I barely slept last night.

Buh bye
Odette

In which the Slytherin one is sorry and babbels.

I AM SO EXTREMELY SORRY! I totally forgot about this the past few weeks :( when I started school again my brain stopped working. Hit it, if you must. Before I get to questions and such, I need to explain what a geek I am. Last week my friends and I were sitting in a computer hall in our school, waiting for the bus (the busses from my school only leave every half hour). There are like, eight computers there and people were playing some violent game. Some of my friends are playing. I'm not very in to computer games because most of them are violent, and, believe it or not, I'm a pretty friendly person. I believe in loooooooooooove. The only games I like are colorful stuff, like Mario. Anywho, my friend and I sit down on some chairs beside the computers and he brings out his 5x5 Rubic's Cube and starts making some flag, and what do I do? I start knitting. Yep. While a bunch of guys are being all modern shooting each other in a virtual world, I take the old fashioned route and start knitting on my gloves. Same thing tonight. I stayed up until 2am knitting this horrible hat. Because I like horrible. And today I was home sick because I wasn't feeling well when I walked to the bus stop, which resulted in me so knitting a little thing for Remus, my iPod.


(It says nördPod on it, nörd=nerd.)


Here's some other knitting I've been working on, since you asked for pictures!

My Slytherin socks :D

The hat. Ignore the fact that I look horrible. I had slept all day.

Just finished the arm to my sweater! Now I just need to get motivated to do the other one x)




Odette Hope the audition thing did well! Mean bishop :(( And I have facebook :D Just tell me were I can find you because I have weird letters in my name which you need scandinavian keyboards for.
Yay for Obama's inauguration! I really liked how he seemed really nervous x) It showed that he's human and not a stiff robot :P

Nina Living in Sweden isn't that fun either. Today when I was walking to the bus stop there was ice all over the place where I was supposed to walk. It was downhill. I almost cried because I really didin't enjoy feeling sick and trying not to fall :(
I want a DS too!!!!!

Frankee Sorry you had a bad winter break :/

Kate Yay for snow! Or not yay, because I hatehate snow and couldn't it just get warmer? *angst attack* Well, I'm happy you enjoyed it!
And yes, I stayed up for that long. Me and three other people made it. I'm proud to say that I was the only one who was in the chat for the whole time. The others got thrown out a bit x)
My sister studies Biomathematics :P She studied some Maths last semester and now it's Biology.
It does feel a bit weird with the Christmas decorations lol. I would try to come up with a good design myself but I really suck at those things. I am going to take a class in webdesigning next year! Or in two years, I don't now ;o



What is your favorite place in the wizarding world?
Hogwarts! It just seems so awesome and I would love to walk around there.

If you could have a map like the marauder's map..what place would you want it to be of?
Hm...my school. Because I like to stalk people. And it'd be nice to have an easy way to know which floor people are (the building where most of my classes are have horrible stairs. We usually hang out on the third floor and our lockers are in the basement. My legs are not liking it). Or when the French teacher is coming.

What job would you want in the wizarding world?
I would totally want to work at Flourish and Blotts! Oh my, that'd be so fun!

Who of the three main characters would be the best headmaster of Hogwarts?
I would say Ron. He's not the OMG-educate kind of person, but I think he'd understand that children need some fun too.


My question! Do you listen to HP podcasts, and if so, which one is your favorite? I really like PotterCast. They're sooooo awesome. And they're doing a show with John and Hank!!!!!!


I hope that makes up for not posting for two weeks, but if there's anything you'd like me to do for a punishment, let me know!

Love and hugs on you all!
Your Slytherin Monday, Ron.

Oh dear, where did everyone go?

Huh.
And there I thought that when I pased by our blog I was gonna find a bunch of Shun-Katie-the-tardy-wlogger! messeges and I find... EMPTINESS?!
:(

Oh, well. Don't frett, Odette (that rhymed)!
I don't plan on bailing, but last week was a bit... let't put it this way: spending the week as a albino ferrett might have been better, but alas!
I'm just getting to the end of highschool, and I feel very frustrated becouse my subconsious has just chosen THIS MOMENT, in which I need to be on top of my game, to have a friggin' I-DON'T-WANNA-GROW-UP-I-DON'T-WANT-RESPONSIBILITIES-SCHOOL-SUCKS!-PHASE. Wartsome timming, I tell you.

But on the bright side (there's always one):
My muse has woken from her (or his) 3 year hibernation about 5 or so monthes ago and I've been dreaming up amazing creations at an astounding speed lately!

If you could check this and give some fedback, I'd be very pleased!
My Deviant Art:


:D I'd be thrilled!

Oh, and yeah, I do have a facebook, I just don't know how to give out a direct link to my profile *blushes*
If you tell me how to, I'll send you the link, or you could just look me up by "katherine graterol" :)

Nina: Awwww! sims rock! and 'The trilogy of the eagle and the jaguar' by Isabel Allende, the first book is CITY OF BEASTS, It's super amazing!

Odette: Oh, oh! yeah, saw a bit of the inauguration, but I'd like to have your comments on that! RANT AWAY!
YAY! another fellow sour gummy worm enthusiast, at last! XD

[1/20/08] In which Odette is confuzzled by the dissappearance of well almost everyone.

Where have you all gone? I may be sending out a search party soon!

In other news, today was Obama's inauguration! I was really excited because we got to watch it in school but then stupid conservative kids talked the entire time and asked why we were watching it! !?!?!?!?! I was floored! I do not care who you would have voted for you should still be respectful! We were respectful of Bush not it is your turn! Sorry. Rant done.

I finally had my audition today. People told me I did really well but the announcements came on in the middle of my performance. I didn't have sour gummy worms which bothered me. I always eat them before an audition. But I think I did well.

So I am still disturbed by only Nina and I posting last week but i am sure you all had good reasons!

Nina: My favorite books are The Gemma Doyle Trilogy! They are amazing! I highly recommend them! Tied for second is The HPs, John's books, Feed, The boy in the Striped Pajamas, Living Dead Girl, Thirteen reasons Why and I am sure many others that I have forgotten temporarily.

Wednesday 1/ 14.

HEY GURLSSSSSS!!!! Wow. I almost forgot that today was Wednesday! This week has been so SLOW! Last week we had no school because of the snow, so this week having school was just odd. I was getting so used to staying at home :[ Oh well, i guess school isn't that bad. This is gonna be a pretty short post, sorry you guys! I really have to get to my homework!

Questions!

If you could have a map like the marauder's map..what place would you want it to be of?
Hmmmmmm. I'm gonna have to say either my school or of New York City or of L.A. or Seattle. lol. That is a lot of places. the cities are my favorite places and it would just be cool to see where people are in my school!

What job would you want in the wizarding world?
I would want to be either a teacher or work somewhere in the Ministry of Magic. That would be excellent :]

My Question: Who of the three main characters would be the best headmaster of Hogwarts?
I think Hermione would be really good. I mean she is already really smart and academicy (is that even a word? :] ). I just see her as a teacher type. Can't you just see Hermione telling some kids off for being late for class? lol.

OMG. I forgot to tell you guys. I got a new game for my DS and it is bloody fantastic. Its the Sims 2. Which is way different from the PC version, but it's still reall fun and not to mention addicting! That is what has been occupying my time :] I'm also looking for a good book to read. So tell me about your favorite books!

kk. Talk to you guys soon!
Love,
Nina :]]

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

[1/13/09] "OMG HE IS SO COOL! LOOK AT HIS LITTLE STAR HEAD THINGY! Awwwwww Snap!"

I love my little mass comm friends. They make me so happy!

I really need to be working on my homework right now but hey i have stayed up way too late finishing my homework since forever, why stop now?

This guy that I am really not sure if I like (but I think I do because I have had reoccurring dreams about him) keeps hanging around with me! This is very exciting!

In my area of churches (Called a diocese) we just elected a new bishop. So everyone is all excited about the fact that we got a new bishop and all. Then Sunday, I find out that our bishop-Elect has cancelled the best church retreats ever. Every time I think about it, I almost cry because these retreats mean so much to me!

Why do none of y'all have facebook?

Nina: I wish i got snow. It has not actually snowed here in a really long time!

Frankee: I will eat something solid in your honor! I will stand up and say "To Frankee!" and then eat it! Everyone will look at me really weird but, hey, you're worth it.

Katie: Thank you! But my phases of nervousness are about to be repeated because the auditions are pushed back. We were talking about how South America was liberated. I definitely was like, "My friend Katie-Wait...uh...nevermind..." Odette is my nickname. I actually have very weird nicknames. Love, (My middle name) Lard (Not because I am fat but because of this really long inside joke), Duchess G (Another inside joke) and Shmook (Another inside joke!)

What is your favorite place in the wizard world?
Hogwarts or Hogsmead. I would probably want to live in Hogsmead or teach at Hogwarts.

If you could have a map like the marauder's map..what place would you want it to be of? Camp Chanco! I love that place so much! Also, I could sneak out easier, Not that I would sneak out after hours...heh heh

What job would you want in the wizarding world?
I think I would want to own a pub of teach at Hogwarts.

Winter Winderland!

Hello Ladies, It's Friday!
(No, not Saturday OR Sunday!)

And it's not just any ordinary Friday, NO. I Snowed in Madrid!
It was Amazing! I've never been in real snow, only on an artificial skiing track, so...
Yeah, still freaking out! :D
Hah, I was in class today and two of my teachers didn't come and I wanted to skip class so I could play in the snow, and then my dad phones me and he's like: "What the heck are you doin' in school?! It's snowing, get overhere!" Awsome Dad Award! My friends were like "PLEASE TRADE ME YOUR DAD FOR MINE!" XD

I'm gonna be updating my Nerdfighter profile and I think I'm gonna go with the whole Back in Black theme. What do you guy think?

I've gotten into kinetic typography and motion graphics lately (as of yesterday), which is a fancy way to say 'videos with cool animated text' :D I'm going to make one soon.
Check these out, they are made of awsome:
video 1 - V for Vendetta
video 2 - Zoolander
video 3 - Wedding Crashers
video 4 - Who's on First?

Ron: let me see if I get this straight, did you stay up (or at least plan to) 37 consecutive hours!?
Caffeine much?...
Stockholm? cool. Where and what does your sister study?
I LOVE STAR WARS (specially episodes IV-VI)!
How did that sweater come along? Do you have pictures?

Odette: That has got to be the best description of 'the phases of nerviousness' I've ever read, it's soooo much better than my old phycology class XD
O La La, french things! I'm (trying) studying french, independantly... I'll tell you how it goes...
Awwww, cool! What did they mention on Venezuela, anything good? (Becouse lately that ain't the case, sadly). Do you have a nickname? Odd, Dette, Detty, Oddish..? :)
Love your phone, mine's prehistoric... seriously, it's almost sprouting dino horns.

Nina: Well, today was my first snow and let me just say: I'm nowhere near annoyed! :D I'm happy-go-lucky, but we'll se how I am in the morning after it snows all night long...
Neen, do ya have twitter?

Frankee: Wow, life without solids seems... smooth. Ok, that was lame.
But seriously, I'm glad you're recovering! Why do you have finals AFTER holidays?

Q&A:

Have you ever made a Hogwarts gingerbread house?
No, but OMG I'D BE AWSOME!

Who do you think is the best actor in the movies?
Alan Rickman, hand down.
And Random Wizard #3... he was amazing!

What is your favorite place in the wizard world?
The forbidden forest: So much to see, so little time. It's like a friggin' tesseract!

If you could have a map like the marauder's map..what place would you want it to be of?
El Retiro, it's a huge-ass park in the center of Madrid and it has so many cool secret places, I loose track of them all. It's like a piece of Alice's Wonderland in middle of the city :)
BTW, my school's right next to it (it has a linking gateway and all!) and I skipped a couple of classes today to go there and enjoy the snow, that's the Winter Wonderland from the title :D

Today was a hogsome day becouse: it snowed, 'nuff said!

Cya soon, luv ya all and DFTBA!
Kate

Thursday, January 8, 2009

I'm finally recovered. I had the worst winter break ever, but it's better now.
I don't have much to say. Finals are coming up in school. I'm stressed out. blahh.

Yeah, I'm still not allowed to eat solid foods cause I could mess something up? I would kill for a sandwich. Never take for granted your ability to eat bread!


What is your favorite era of Fanfic to read? (Marauders, Trio, or Kids)
I've never really read fanfic, but probably trio..possibly kids.

What HP related stuff do you want to do in 2009?
I'm saving money to go to the theme park opening in 2010. I would love to go to LeakyCon, though.

Do you write fanfic? If so, where? What is it about?
Nope. =/

MY QUESTION!
eh.
first thing that comes to mind:
If you could have a map like the marauder's map..what place would you want it to be of?
That's kind of confusing. Which place would you like the spy on most? :P

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

Man, am i annoyed!

Ok, so first we have this huge snow storm and now we are having flood problems! I am getting pretty mad. I don't have school today or tommorow because of the flooding/ ice/ snow. I was at school yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks (winter vacation) and one of the roofs almost collapsed because of the snow. You guys are so lucky you don't live in the northwest.

Questions:

Have you ever made a Hogwarts gingerbread house?
Noooo. That sounds like a brilliant idea!!!

Who do you think is the best actor in the movies? Because of acting abilities and personality.
Hmmmm. I would have to say the guy that plays Snape or Hagrid is really good too! Sorry i dont know actual names lol.

My question:

What is your favorite place in the wizard world?
Mine would have to be either Hogwarts or Diagon Alley or Hogsmead. They are just enchanting places, as in nice places, but also magical too i guess :]

Hope the weather is better where you guys are!
Luv ya,
Nina.

[1/6/09] In which Odette has Braq's Rootbeer and that makes her happy.

Yes I have a Barq's in the very near vicinity. I also have apples and peanut butter. All is right with the world.

SO I am doing this thing called the French Congres. It is when French students from around the county come and do competitions and workshops and it is bunches of fun! I am doing the cooking competition and I am making couscous. I tried it out last Friday and it is delicious! But there is also a spirit competition where every school does some skit. The theme is French art. We are going to have paintings and a statue come to life. I am the statue. It will be a lot of fun!

In my Theater class, the independent study is directing us in a show called Murder in the Knife Room. We are auditioning on Thursday. I am in the Oh-God-I-am-not-as-prepared-as-I-should-be phase. Soon I will be moving into the Wheew-I-am-better-prepared-than-I-thought-but-I-must-continue-to-practice-until-I-could-do-it-in-my-sleep phase and finally the Oh-God-I-suck-and-everyone-else-is-fantastic-and-I-will-make-a-fool-of-myself-or-I-will-be-sick phase. Then I will preform and relax.

Nina: I am glad that this is working out so that you can stay.

Katie: 3/9! I got an Env2! I love it! Yes there is Twirock but I could not figure out how to get the CD for her in time. Oh and today in history class we were talking about Venezuela and I thought about you!

Ch: You must be a fast Knitter! I cannot knit like that! you should post pictures!


Have you ever made a Hogwarts gingerbread house?
No but that would be tasty!


Who do you think is the best actor in the movies? Because of acting abilities and personality.
It is a really hard choice but I think I am going to narrow it down to Alan Rickman, Ralph Finnes, Gary Oldman, David Thewlis and Jason Issacs. I linked some videos of them that I love.

So I'll see Nina tomorrow!

Tiredness.

Hey wloggers. I'm a little late. Sorry. I've been up since 7am (Monday), and it's now almost 7am on Tuesday, and I'm planning on staying up until at least 8pm tonight. So I'm a little tired and confused, and sorry if this post is weird xD
I helped my sister move out today. She moved to a really cozy dorm thing closer to Stockholm, and it was a pretty fun day.
I've been reading the Three Musketeers and watching Star Wars (episode IV-VI) the last few days, although I really should have been doing school work. I go back to school on Thursday, and I don't want to xO
I've also been knitting on a sweater. I only have one and a half arm left :P hopefully I'll get that done before school starts.

What is your favorite era of fanfic to read? (Marauders, trio or kids)
I haven't really read Kids era fanfic, I was more into fanfics pre book 7. But I prefer Marauders.

Have you ever made a Hogwarts gingerbread house? I made one last year x))

Anywho, I don't think you can get much more sense out of me, so until next time,
DFTBA!

Back in Black!

Well, first of all: Merry Christmas and a very very very Happy and Succesful New Year!
I know I've been M.I.A. recently, but I do have a better reason for it than the sole fact of it being yuletide. I totally failed History (of Spain) and Art History this trimester, which is a realy big bummer, specially since my average grade is 8.5 to 10 out of 10 and since I moved to Spain last year, I've dropped... a considerable amount, I don't think I'll even get a chance to get a full scholarship for Uni... but anyways, I could gon on about this forever and ever and ever, but then I'd be just like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

But even If my parents cut me off internet for the holidays (not officially, but i'd get the 'contempt look' if they'd catch me at it, and believe me when I say that wlogging on a Palm isn't cool), I feel kinda better now, the new year has given me new hopes, that's the reason for the title of this post (who of you got the reference?).

I've missed two posts and this one's comming in a bit late, so I'll make up for it and type... A LOT.

Speaking (typeing) about 'A lot' remindes me that I'm helping my little sister with her english lessons, she's the only one of us who was born in an english-speaking country (Florida, USA), but we moved back to Venezuela before she started to speak, so she's also the only one of us that doesn't speak english, but she's learning. She'll be reading Harry Potter and becoming a Nerdfighter in no time! :D

On to holiday news, I got an awsome new Pablo Neruda agenda (he's an amazing latin poet, this is my favorite poem of his link), a cool pair of shoes and a new adition to my stuffed and/or furry family : he's an orange ball-shaped mouse, and his name is 'Chad the cheedar cheese ball' :D

I wanna know all of your Birthdays so I can add them to my agenda, I already know a few.
On that note, NINA: Happy Belated Birthday! I'd have congratulated you before, but, I came to know like five minutes ago.
ODETTE: The boy in the stripped pijamas, Quidditch through the ages and amazing beasts and where to find them... 3/9, did I get any right?
New phone?: wich model?
I heart Muppeteers! Seriously, everything Jim Henso in awsome (or Hogsome).
THERE'S TWIROCK?!

CH: Skype is cool :) I'll tell you when I get a new headset, and Slytherin socks rock!
Yay, Jingle Spells 2! How is it?

FRANKEE: How's your recovery coming on? I'm sending you virtual chiken soup! (or do you like another kind?) Yay, new camera! Many Pretty Pictures Please!

NINA (again): Snow storm?! wow, I barely got a bit of really watery snow once or twice. Sorry, I can't exchange you my day, 'couse I barely make it either, but how about you post on SATURDAYS? that way I can even make myself post on deadline.

I am now totally and madly addicted to Kyle XY, do any of you guys watch it? and for that matter do you watch Supernatural? I'm a die-hard fan :D

Q & A

Do you write fanfic? If so, where? What is it about?
I read a lot (I'm addicted, but not in denile), but I haven't written any... I should.

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?
Definitely... Maybe.

What HP related stuff do you want to do in 2009?
Get a full-fledged Slytherin uniform... Go to a Wrock Concert, write a few HP related songs...

What is your favorite era of Fanfic to read? (Marauders, Trio, or Kids)
Trio, mostly. I do read the others ocasionally.

Have you ever given someone a Harry Potter related Christmas present?
Hmmm... Nope. should though.

What would be the coolest ride that you would want to be in the theme park?
An uber-amazing rollercoaster ride.

Goodbye, Cya soon and DFTBA!
