Wow it's scary. I don't like being 17. It sounds too grown-up. But hey ho, I got some awesome presents out of it. And I know that isn't the right attitude, but it's true.
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, all three people who read this. I have been superly busy being in Paris, and then being asleep, and then turning 17, and watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (twice) and sleeping some more, and eating chocolate, and watching Twilight with the audio commentary (don't ask), and reading, and listening to Taylor Swift, and getting addicted to this YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/StarKidPotter (A Very Potter Musical is a must-see for Potter fans...but it will result in you laughing at very inappropriate moments during the film).
Oh, and I went shopping and bought books, even though I still have an ever-mounting pile next to my bed of books that I still need to read. And while I was in Paris, my English teacher phoned home and my parents had to go into school to pick up 'The Time-Traveller's Wife' which is our summer reading. If anyone's read it already, let me know what you thought. I haven't started it yet but I've heard that it's awesome.
My school officially broke up for the summer on Wednesday, but because I've been away so much, I sort of broke up two weeks ago. It's so strange just being in the house now, and not being constantly with my friends and having to socialise. Seriously, much as I love them all to pieces, it's nice to have a bit of a break. I'm going to spend this week tidying my room because it is a frickin' mess as always, looking through piles of university prospectuses and hopefully narrowing down a few courses, and trying to get someone (for 'someone', read 'anyone') to employ me. I seriously need the money, since September brings the start of a year's worth of eighteenth birthday presents. Also, I want to start saving up for LeakyCon 2011 sooner rather than later because, seriously, I refuse to miss it. I refuse.
I really need more Harry Potter friends. For real, I love the few I have and obviously I love my friends who aren't into Harry Potter, but not one of them is as psycho-obsessed as I am. As in, I casually brought up wizard rock in a conversation with one of my most dedicated HP friends and she just didn't understand the concept, even after much explaining. In the end, I just went "Oh forget it..." Do you see what I have to deal with? Do you???
And my one friend who properly gets the whole fandom thing is someone I won't see until September because we only hang out at orchestra rehearsals and stuff. Sad times.
Okay, this has been a really long and ranty blog...I'm sorry. My next one will just highlight the best moments of Berlin and Paris. And then the next one might talk more about books, because I have one or two recommendations to get off my chest.
Bye
<3
PS - I am in no way affiliated with the StarKidPotter channel. I just think they are amazing. Check them out...maybe point them in the direction of this blog, maybe don't. But take a look because they are made of awesome. Thank you.
