My weekend was FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Happening is one of the most spiritual and moving experiences of my life every time I go. This time was better than last time I staffed and even better than my OWN Happening! I staffed again and I was a secret small group leader. On Sundays there is this foot washing and we get Bibles and that experience changed our group. There are so many thoughts about Happening that there is no way I could get them all in. So I am going to change topics sort of.
This next weekend I am going to Blackstone which is run by the same people but it is not a heavy as Happening. But this means I get to see all the people from last weekend again! I am very excited despite the fact that I will have accumulated even less sleep. (Yesterday I fell asleep five times during my Biology class, and we had a major test!)
I am thinking about doing NaBloPoMo In April. I think It would be fun and My Diary of a Nerdfighting Episcopalian Girl is slightly lonely. I am still thinking about it. I may wait until May because April is rather busy.
The play is coming together really nicely. We are off book and we have most of the scenery (which is not much because of how Thornton Wilder wrote it)
The other play, last Friday's was Okay. I think we could have used a more dedicated cast but in the end it worked out okay.
Ron: I wonder where the others went. It is kind of weird. But I enjoy blogging with you so its not too bad but I do wish we would hear from the others... It is always those dang cookies that get them! Curse you, cookies! Curse you!
I am really too tired to think of a question.
Your Ravenclaw,
Odette

[3/2?/09] In which Odette says "Harry Potter is not just for fangirls!"
This girl in my first period said "I don't like Twilight, its just for fangirls. Harry Potter is too" At this point I turned around and said "Harry Potter is not just for fangirls!"
Her: Yes it is
Me: No its not. I am heavily involved in the Harry Potter Fandom. And it is not only for fangirls!
H: Well yes it is.
M: If you aren't involved in the fandom, you cannot say things like that because you would know it is wrong!
H: I spend a lot of time on the Internet. How do you know what I know?
M: You wouldn't say things like that, if you knew the fandom.
H: Ya know? This is our conversation and you just turned around and joined it. *She tries to kick me out because she is losing!*
M: Sorry I felt the need to defend my fandom. *Turned around*
It was interesting...
Oh I have another Harry Potter related story but it is mini. We were being given notes for Our Town. Th director said to me, " You need to be more officious...You love this stuff and someone has invited you to speak on it! Okay?" One of my cast members said "Pretend it is Harry Potter"
The one act in my first period, Murder in the Knife room. Is going to be preformed this friday! I am nervous because some people don't know their lines still. I just keep breathing and telling myself it will be okay.
This weekend I am going to Happening. (My favorite of the retreats I go on) One of the things we have to do is write Caritas. Caritas is some sort of note or gift or something that everyone gets and it is amazing. They let it in with these balloons tied to giant bags and the giant bags are filled with Caritas! Since I have to have this done by Friday I am fervently working to complete all the personal letters I am writing. Yesterday I was writing Caritas and I started to cry. It is a very emotional thing for me. (Good kind of crying don't worry) Two more time that day I had to stop working on Caritas because I was about to cry. So I had to stop. I think tomorrow I am going to shut myself in my room and just write and cry and write and cry and write and cry and write and cry.
Ron! You are alive! YaY! You made me want to go to a wrock concert! I haven't been to one since last summer! Tell me about Canada! Why are you going ad such! Being in a play is a lot of fun but it is also a lot of work. I think it is an experience that everyone should have at least once in their life. Prom is weeks away though. I have yet to get a dress but I will post pictures when I do! Yes I think we should talk more! I love talking to people! Talking is good!
Do you think Harry Potter is just for fangirls?
Well as you can see from above, no. I do think we do have fangirls though. Not only of Harry Potter, though, I totally fangirled Alex Carpenter last July....

[3/17/09] In which Odette is alone.
No one posted since last Tuesday. This make me sad.
Today we are running the first act (the only act I have lines) OFF BOOK! (To non-thespians: We have to say our lines without using the script.) I am fairly decent but I could use some work so today will be a challenge.
This past weekend was PreHap. We prepared for a retreat that will take place in two weeks. It was amazing and very powerful. I am still incredibly tired though. Yesterday I started about five stories and then had to stop because I forgot the ending. Hopefully that will be better today.
So my boyfriend asked me to go to Prom with him. I do not really care that much about going but he really wants to so I am going for him. Now I did not run home immediately and tell my parents and when I told my dad he was horrified that I had not told him and my mom yet. I did not think it was that big of a deal especially because my step mom already assumed we were going to go. But whatever.
I am not going to do a question since no one is here.

[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.

[11/11/08] In which Odette is much more tired than she thought possible...
Hey guys!
So wow! We had our first week! A couple things, comments, they are nice. I think every body loves them. Our two who must be punished. I am trying to think of something but I am a little worried because I am going to get punished most likely on my other blog.
SO my Happening weekend was EMAZING! (Yes, E-mazing, it is my new word, long story...) I was a small group leader and my group was the most emazing I could ask for.
Questions
Have you ever been/are you going to go to an HP convention? Sadly no. One of my best friends went to Terminus which made me jealous. But I really want to go to one next summer but I have no clue how.
Who is/ are your favorite character(s) and why? REMUS LUPIN! (Side note: At Happening we were supposed to bring a stuffed animal and I forgot mine so I made the ghost of Remus Lupin out of tissues!) He is probably one of the jokesest characters because he is just so cool. I know that answer is an undigested lump but I am REALLY tired.
What do you think about Beedle The Bard getting released to the public? Are you excited? I cannot wait! I want it for my birthday!
My Question for this week: Who is you hardcore ship? I love Remius! Those two are meant to be. Even if you think that Remus has to be bi before you will believe it, you have to admit the evidence is incontrovertible!
So that will be it for me!
See you tomorrow Frankee!

[11/4/08] In Which Odette is totally freakin excited for the beginning of this project!!!!!
Hey ladies!
So I am gonna do a bit of introduction stuff. I am Odette. I am 15 and I live in Virginia. Like Ron, yesterday, Harry Potter is a huge part of my life. My NaNoWriMo Novel has a HP obsessed character. So I can never escape the fandom. I am in the process of getting my wrock band off its feet. Our name is Oddment and we are just messing around right now.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Question Section!
When did you start reading Harry Potter, and when did you become obsessed? (Ron)
I saw the first movie when I was 8. Immediately after I saw the movies, I ran home and read the first four books because that was all that was out. I didn't really become obsessed until a little over a year ago, when I met one of my best friends, Sarah, and she became my ambassador into wrock.
My question is: Why do you fit into the house you belong in?
I am a Ravenclaw because I am a huge nerd. My friend says I have work ethic and that is why but then I told her I have no work ethic and she said that was just more proof.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
I am also Friday in another blog project, the Strangely Nerdy Strangers. http://strangelynerdy.blogspot.com/
and
http://nerdystrangers.blogspot.com/
So this week I am going to Camp Chanco. I go there a lot so many posts might have something to do with it. But it is a church camp (EPISCOPALIANS! WOOT!) and I am staffing a weekend and it is going to be so amazing!!!!!
That is really it! Oh and Happy Election Day!
See you tomorrow Frankee,
