Harry Potter makes me a Happy Person

HP fans, read this..

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J. K. Rowling, the fifth in the bestselling series, has been scheduled for release on Saturday, June 21, 2003.
As Harry enters his fifth year at wizard school, it seems the bonds "of friendship and trust" have never been more sorely tested. Lord Voldemort's rise has opened a rift in the wizarding world between those who believe the truth about his return, and those who prefer to believe it's all madness and lies -- just more trouble from Harry Potter.

Add this to a host of other worries for Harry...


A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey

A venomous, disgruntled house-elf

Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team

And of course, what every student dreads: end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams

...and you'd know what Harry faces during the day. But at night it's even worse, because then he dreams of a single door in a silent corridor. And this door is somehow more terrifying than every other nightmare combined."

Ron is the keeper!!! New Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher! And I HAVE to know whats wrong with the door!! MUST.....HAVE.......BOOK!!........

I want an LJ. I want an LJ with a good name. I want an LJ with those happy little faces that illustrate your mood. I want an LJ that people I don't know read and enjoy, like I do with LJ's of people I don't know. I want my biology homework to be done.

My dad deleted Kazaa from our computer because he heard there's a virus going around through it and he is still scarred from the last time we got a virus and it deleted all of our pictures. I don't blame him, we had 3 years of pictures gone, some of them very important, such as the ones of my uncle who recently passed away, and I don't want that to happen again. But I do want Kazaa back... because that's where my music comes from. I have recently been introduced to some new bands/singers and now I can't further explore their music because I have been cut off at the source. If I had money I would go out and buy the CD's, but I don't have money. If I had time I would get a job in order to earn money, but I don't happen to have any time because of that little inconvenience we like to call school.

I can't wait for summer. Here are some things I want to get accomplished this summer:
1. Start teaching myself the guitar from the "Teach yourself to play the guitar" book I have.
2. Become a better artist (drawing wise).
3. Do regular distance runs with Halley and Cara (and Nancy if she wants do, but she doesn't tend to like distance runs).
4. Run a 5k.
5. Read "Fast Food Nation", "Little Women", "The Salmarillion" and some other books I can't remember right now.
6. Start regular riding lessons again.
7. Have an Elijah movie marathon.
6. Go to an amusement park.
7. Run in the rain.
8. Swim in really cold water (which I will be sure to do in Maine).
9. Meet someone new.

There's plenty more I want to do, but that's all I can think of right now. OK, back to Biology homework.

It is now 8:00 and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode





WHAT TYPE OF WILD CREATURE ARE YOU? (New Pictures!)
brought to you by Quizilla

Penguins are so cool!! My neighbor is obsessed with them, he draws them all the time. He's actually a really good artist.

We had HSA's this week so I got to sleep in Monday, Wednesday, and today, Friday. Right now I'm watching TTT and eating peanut butter and jelly... and it makes me happy! So...I won't write any more right now, maybe this afternoon.

The sky will never look the same again
I know I know... I haven't updated forever. I want a LJ, but I can't think of a good enough name for it, so I don't want to get it yet. Haha... how dorky is that? Very, methinks. The AP government test was today.... I feel like a big load has been lifted from my shoulders. My goal was to be able to go in there, take the test, come out, and say that I knew what I was doing and that I have enough knowledge to carry out intelligent conversation with someone about US Government and Polotics. Maybe I only got a 3 (I hope I got atleast a 3), but that was probably the most valuable class I have ever taken. Now, in 11th and 12th grades, I will have had experience with AP classes, I will know what I need to do to manage myself and so on... I'm happy I took it.

The test went pretty well. The multiple choice started out pretty easy, then got increasingly harder, as expected. We only have 45 minutes to do 60 questions and I am horrible at taking timed tests. I did what is recommended: complete all the questions you know and skip the ones you are unsure of to come back to later (if you have time). I still ended up with 10 minutes left, about 15 questions I hadn't looked at yet, and a whole bunch I had skipped (I skip when in doubt because I am paranoid. They take off 1/4 a point for each wrong answer.) So I was jumping crazily around (not literally, from question to question), trying to get done. I managed to do all the questions I was sure of and finish some of the ones I was a little unsure of. I still ended up doing only 2/3 of the questions, which really sucks. I hope they like my essays... The essays were alot better than I expected. My heart was actually pounding before that section of the test. We got lucky though, sometimes the questions contain things you don't even know. I had knowledge on all four of the essay questions and managed to scribble my way through an hour and 40 minutes. Your neck really hurts after two hours of being crouched over those little desks in the auditorium (sp). There was this one girl in the next row who finished her essays with like 20 minutes to spare... Either she's a genius or she's crazy.... So, enough about that. I'm glad its over. I feel like the school year is over.. but, sadly, its not. Still, the only thing I have to worry about is Bioethics. Oh, and this stupid Bio project we have to do on the kingdoms. Although Fungi are sooo cool, I'd rather not do the project.

I ate three bowls of fruit salad today.. it was good... I love fruit. OK, I think I will go to bed early and read.... although it is tempting to fill out one of the surveys from Emily's blog.

More amusing than mangos...

It has been 3 weeks since I last updated... that is extremely sad. Today I got home an hour early (5 o'clock) and what have I gotten done? My math and half of my spanish. I really have to do some biology research because I won't be able to do much tommorow because of my meet. Tommorow is JV counties (or "varsity B" as they like to call it to make us feel better). I'm running the 300 hurdles, 100 hurdles, and 800. I'm going to write my goals for each here so that I will have an obligation to meet them. I want to PR in all of them. In the 300 hurdles I want to go sub 57... bleah... I should be faster at that race, I JUST got back to the level I was at last year, sad... I'm proud of the 100 hurdles, I finally learned to 4 step and I'm looking to go sub 20. In the 800 I want to run a 44 because that's what Nancy timed me at for the last time I ran it (Ms. Muehl got me at a 55) so I want to prove that I can run that. A 40 would be soo cool, but I'm going for 44.

I'm really leaning towards Live Journal. Blogger is cool, but I love those little mood critters and how they have a place for title and music. As of now I really have to go so I can get enough sleep to make those times a reality.
