Friday Blabber

First of all, I keep thinking it's Saturday all day long. But it's not. It's Friday. Friday night, to be precise. My sister and her bf went to the city. So she's getting ready and as she is all dressed, she goes: "Why don't you get ready and come with us?" Yeah, that's an invitation all right. And I say my hair isn't washed and I couldn't possibly. And she says: "But we're not going for at least a half an hour." Uh-huh. That's enough... NOT. And I actually kinda wanted to go. See, I've bought this orange dress and if I don't wear it soon, the summer will be over and it'll be too cold to wear it. Like, tomorrow. We were supposed to go to this concert on the main square (when I say we, I mean, BBQ bunch). And then few of them canceled for different reasons so we're not going. And even though at first I didn't really wanna go, the idea kinda grew on me cuz, you see, I've bought this dress... Well, I guess it's not meant to be. lol
So I'm home. Will end up watching TV, as usual. At least there are reruns of Sex and the City, it started last night. My all-time favourite scene is actually from the pilot. The one that goes:

Big : Oh, I get... You've never been in love.
Carrie : Wait... have you ever been in love?
Big : Abso-fucking-lutely!

Yes, I know I'm silly, there's just something about that character...
Other than fictional male characters, I hate men. No, really. Like right now, there's this guy that is giving hard time to a friend of mine. Don't you just hate those guys? I just want to grab them and shake them until they realise how great these girls (my friends) are and tell them they are fucking idiots if they don't see it. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing I can do, all I can do is hate them for what they are doing. And yeah, I just won't allow that to happen to me again. I just won't. I'm so scared of having it gone wrong that I won't even try. Yes, I know how it sounds, but it is how it is. So fictional characters it is. Speaking of, reruns of Alias started today. Mmmm, Vaughn... The sole reason I watch this show.
Anyway, Doc said she'd be reading blogs later tonight so HI, DOC! I miss you lately, the longest time no chat. The Originals are not the same without you, even though yesterday SU joined us too! Yeah, she's alive and kicking and hating newbies as much as me, maybe even a bit more. lol So could you not work nights all the time, please? Hahaha. I know, I know... Well, hopefully we'll talk soon. Enjoy your night. xoxoxoxox
The same goes for the rest of you. I hope your weekend goes better than mine.

Wednesday Blabber

My aunt's surgery went well, my mom has spoken to her and now we can hope it all stays well.
My hair is wet and I don't feel like blow-drying it. I will, of course, hate myself in the morning because of that, but my notorious laziness usually prevails in cases such as this. You see, my hair has a very strong personality. It is very strong minded. I swear, it's alive and independent! And most of the times no matter what I do, I go to bed with somewhat normal, human hair, and wake up with a nest or a bush or an abstract wire statue on my head. One would think that cutting straight hair short would make it easier to control it but... one would be wrong.
I also butchered my chin. A zit on it, to be more precise. And it's not like I only made it bigger and redder. No... I actually managed to create a bruise out of it. It's purple now. Expecting it to be green by morning. Something to look forward to with the new sunrise. That and hours in the library. Ya-fucking-ay.
At least it's not 40°C anymore. It was around 30°C today for a (nice) change. So... uhm... let's be happy about that.
I had a fucking nightmare again. Featuring my stalker ex. The one I dreamt about not so long ago, the dream involving him and a donkey... Did I even blog about it? Never mind. So I dreamt of him again. Like, we were back together and he was at my place and all I could think about was how on Earth am I gonna break up with him again and why did I get myself into that one more time when I am clearly not in love with him nor do I wanna be with him. See, I have some common sense while dreaming too. If only I could get some good dreams though... Is a nice wet dream so much to ask for?! Yeah, I guess it is. It's stalker ex's and donkeys for me...
I finally saw "Little Miss Sunshine". I liked it all right but... I was so looking forward to watching a teenager who doesn't say a word through the whole movie and then I felt I was cheated on when the boy spoke like in the middle of it! And Dwayne... Isn't that like the ugliest, most white trash name ever? lol And another thing: stupid me obviously confused Alan with Adam Arkin and kept wondering how that guy could grow old so much... Now I realise those are two different guys. A mystery solved.

Scooter

No, I'm not talking about the horrible German dance group. lol What I mean is that my dad just bought a scooter. Now, I'm not gonna ride it. No way in hell I'm sitting on something that has two wheels, a motor and no frame whatsoever. It's like riding something that goes like 60km/h OUTSIDE of anything! It's an accident waiting to happen. I'm against motorcycles, no matter what size they come in. My sister, on the other hand, can't wait to get on it. That being said, here it is (it doesn't have the dumb box at the end though):
It's OK, though. We got a new TV for our room. And oh, almost forgot! They had to bring the scooter home immediately so mum had to sit in the back, facing the back of the car, with open trunk and keep an eye on the scooter so it wouldn't fall out! Damn, you should've seen it!

Sister And BF's Holiday Pictures

Isn't she the prettiest little thing? And aren't they a cute couple? They had a great time. And in case you were wondering: yes, that first picture is taken in the sea, not pool. That's how pretty our sea is.

Baby Boy Is Back!

I know most of you won't care one bit, but if you only knew for how long we have been waiting for him to reappear somewhere... After a long long drought season, he showed up in public again, looking beautiful as ever, wearing a perfect outfit (and that doesn't happen often, lol) and simply shining. Ladies and gentleman, Wentworth Miller!

Monday Blabber

I'm still not over HP being over. It's so sad. Saying goodbye usually is. Yes, I know there are still two movies to be made but no more books... *tearing up* But I'll try not to talk about it anymore. Though I have started re-reading it, of course.
I'm going to the library soon. Stoopid old Cro lit. Soooo boring. Especially after reading Harry Potter. lol
It's still hot but not as the last few days. I bought a lovely orange dress, can't wait to wear it.
I played rummy with parents last night. I lost. lol
Fox got all weird asking me why I was avoiding him. Like, every time he gets online to greet me, I disappear. Yeah! It's all cuz of him cuz he is the ecntre of my life. Jeeez. Some people... They're organizing pizza-making-party now. The same BBQ crowd. Well, if 6 people is a crowd. Dunno if I'll go. Cuz truth to be told, I was kinda avoiding talking to him. He gets on my nerves sometimes. Just don't tell him, k? lol

The photos for the new ID are hideous! My hair is absolutely insane on them but what can I do? Well obviously, I could have taken a new picture but I didn't feel like it. I don't need the ID all that often anyway.
Well, this was one hell of a random blabber. That is all.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT THE BOOK TO BE RUINED FOR YOU - THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW THE PICTURE OF THE COVER.
There, you have been warned. I am so glad I haven't turned my computer on today because as soon as I did, there it was - the title that reveals the end! How can people be so incredibly cruel, I do not know. Not that I won't do the exact same thing and in much greater detail but at least I warned you. It took me about 16 hours with breaks to eat and go to bathroom, from 10am till 2am, to finish it but I did it. Once again:

I cried my eyes out. I can't even count the tissues. All the time I had the feeling I was saying goodbye to all of the characters that I got to know and love through the years. Probably because I was. Especially towards the end when so many of them showed up for he final battle, like Oliver Wood, Angelina Johnson and others. Then Krum at Bill and Fleur's wedding, and Percy who came and admitted he was a bloody fool... But I rush ahead of myself.
I was shocked with the first death because it came so soon and because it was Hedwig. I never would have thought J.K. would kill his owl. It didn't make me cry though. Nor did George's loss of ear make me cry. It did make me laugh when he said "'Ear, 'ear!" after Harry gave his speech. The first time I teared up was when Hermione accidentally broke Harry's wand. His trusty wand! A piece of my heart broke with it. I couldn't believe he was left unprotected, unarmed... And above all, Ron has deserted him! That was so wrong and I expected Ron to die because of this betrayal. Then later he returned and saved Harry's life and got the sword of Godryc Gryffindor so I guess he made amends.
The first time I actually cried out loud, so much that I had to go wash my face so I could see the letters, was when Dobby died. That brave unselfish elf, who never did anything but give his best to help Harry, finally laid his life for "Harry Potter Sir". And as Harry was digging a grave for his loyal friend, I cried. Poor poor Dobby... He will be remembered.
I know all I do is write about the deaths but they made me cry. I cried the most when Fred was killed. I was truly shocked. I honestly believed the Weasley children would not be harmed. Clearly, I was wrong. But I feared for Mrs. Weasley's life when she fought Bellatrix at the end. I was so relieved when Harry came to the rescue.
Snape... What to say? To find out at the end that all this time he indeed was on Dumbledore's side... I don't know what to think about that. Nor about the revelation of his and Lily's childhood friendship. Does the fact that all he ever tried to do was to protect Lily's son redeem him? I don't know. Harry naming his son after him says it does. Must I say that he married Ginny? And on that note, Ron and Hermione also got married.
Lupin and Tonks got a baby boy just to die in the final battle. Again, tears. That shook me. It reminded me so much of Harry and his parents. Although it's a bit odd how Lupin's death wasn't even described, it only said that his and Tonks's body was in the Great Hall with the others. After all, he was an important character. But it was sweet when little Ted was born, Remus asked Harry to be his Godfather. That was amazing and so sad at the same time. At least he'll never be unloved, like Harry, Snape and Voldemort who all thought of Hogwarts as their only home. I'm wondering though whether Ted has inherited his father's condition...
When Harry was going through Snape's memories and saw Dumbledore saying that the boy had to die and that he had to be killed by Voldemort, I put down the book and almost didn't read anymore. Then I swallowed my tears and kept going. Luckily, because all is well that ends well.
Neville was such a wonderful surprise, fighting a lonely battle in the Hogwarts when there was no one left there but him, so brave that even his grandma was proud of him for once and told him he was his parents' son. I cried a little there too. Finally he cut Nagini's head off, so yaay Neville!
Some might argue that Voldemort's death was anticlimactic. In a way, yes. Using a spell that backfired one more time maybe wasn't as spectacular as it was expected but I actually loved it. When Harry used Expelliarmus, his "signature spell", as they call it, he once again proved he is a hero with the righteous heart. And as I see it, in the end what really killed Voldemort wasn't a backfired spell or Harry's skill but everything that Harry is, the sum of the love he was given by his parents, his friends, their faith in him and above all, his faith in himself and in believing that what he is doing was the right thing.
And maybe my favourite moment in the whole book is when Harry takes charge in Bill and Fleur's cottage. He's proud, determined, grown up - he's ready! and he proves it when the time comes.
And now it's all over, there will be no more and it feels like saying goodbye to a friend. J.K. Rowling, hats off to you and thank you for giving us this magical tale.
Goodbye, Harry Potter!
