Hellos and Harry Potter (spoilermoviethingyeah)

Well, hello! ...to whoever is there. (:

So I haven't posted for... 3 months? Yeaaahh. -hangs head- I really love blogging, but everything has been so crazy busy. I missed blogging about a lot of things but making the time was harder than I thought it would be - especially if I wasn't obligated. But, anyway, I'm not here to talk about me. Well... I kind of am. But I'm mostly hear to talk about my thoughts on

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Before I begin my review I want to say a few things. One: I suggest you watch these videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8oI3oQRQOo&feature=recentu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF5xw4e8kHo
They are HP DH reviews/thoughts and they are MUCH better than mine will be and encompass most of the thoughts I want to share. So go do that. Yeah.
And two: I tried to not be spoiled and although it worked for the most part, I was spoiled on some scenes. But, next movie, I'm making a pledge to not watch any "HP Marathons on ABC Family that have scenes" or shield my mind from Tumblr. Haha.

ONTO THE REACTIONTHINGIES.

Okay, so the beginning: fantastic. The Obliviate scene was amazing and I am so so so so so happy Hermione got her moment to do that in the books. It really showed that everyone was scared about their parents and also that all three of the trio were having family hardships because of what was going on. Emma's acting was so good and she really shined in this part.
The Death Eater round table was fantastic and I'm glad they showed Draco's fear which carried on in the Malfoy Manor scene. Nagini is so freaking creepy, as well, and I LOVED it.
They included more Fred and George than I believed they would! YES! Fred and George always have had a place in my heart in the books and the movie really gave them what they deserved. I also love the whole thing with Tonks about to say she's pregnant when Mad-Eye barges in. It makes people who don't know wonder what was going to happen and even though it gets pushed in the back of your head compared to the rest of the movie, it guarantees showing up in the second movie. So that's exciting.
The Seven Potters scene was so funny yet so serious and weird and awesome. I loved the reactions of the characters and I constantly wonder how Dan felt playing all those parts. Especially Fleur's. Just thinking about it makes me burst out laughing. And once again, another Fred and George joke, which was wonderful. But this time, (which didn't really happen in the other movies) it was an individual twin joke not a combined twin joke (if that makes sense) which really made me smile.
Hedwig dying while fighting for Harry: phenomenal and so devastating. I adore owls and Hedwig because she's not just a pet. She's a courageous friend to Harry. She was with Harry when Harry was all alone at the Dursley's and it just made me bawl when Harry lost her.
Oh, the Dursley's! I'm upset that they didn't show the Dudley - Harry exchange but (like Kayley) I understand why it couldn't be put in the film and it doesn't change the fact that the film was amazinggg.
The wedding was really nice but I missed Krum being there and his exchange on both Hermione and the Deathly Hallows. But I understand why it was so short because there just isn't enough time to put everything into the movie and it would have dragged things inevitably.
Snatcher scene was really good and the whole waitress not seeing what was going on right behind her was a nice comic relief.
Hermione's purse: SO GOOD. I am so happy they included that in the film (of course they would have to, otherwise how are they going to include tents and all that stuff) but I like how confused Harry and Ron were at how the hell she was getting all that stuff out. Emma played Hermione SO WELL in this movie. She isn't just an intelligent composed girl: you could feel that she was scared and fearful but yet she was kind of putting on a scene that she was calm because she was truly the only one of the trio that had some control over the situation after the wedding thing. Yeah. Emma > life.
Loved the Black House scene thing but like Kayley I wish Harry would find his mom's letter and see him riding his toy broom, but understand that there just isn't enough time.
I love Rupert's acting and I know everyone is saying this but that's just because it is SO AMAZING. You could feel the tension of his whole physical appearance when he has the locket on and how he changes is so incredible. You can see his progression toward steadily getting closer to his breaking point. He's annoyed by not getting far... only getting one horcrux... seeing Harry and Hermione together even though it's nothing. I can't even explain how much I loved Rupert's acting and I think he was the strongest actor in the film.
I skipped some parts so I will go back to that. Xenophilius (sp?) Lovegood's house was really awesome. I loved his character in the book and it was portrayed really well in the movies, especially his ragged worry for Luna. I was devastated about not seeing Luna's paintings. When I read the book, I was so so so excited for being able to see the paintings in the film, so I got really disappointed. BUT: Kayley's take on it makes me feel a lot better. It's good that the people who read the books get that little excerpt.
The Deathly Hallows story was AMAZING. I absolutely loved it. From what I've read/heard, you either loved it or hated it and I definitely loved it.... again, if you couldn't tell. haha. It was really unexpected for it to be portrayed like that but I thought it was a nice twist. I have always loved that story and it makes me so happy to see it performed in front of me.
Ministry of Magic break-in: PHENOMENAL. I honestly felt like the actors were actually Ron, Hermione, and Harry in disguise. and the whole Ron being worried thing was wonderful. Words just can't describe, shfkjsafas.
Godric's Hollow was fantastic and the grave scene really did make me cry. I loved that part in the book. Bathilda Bagshot is as everyone says: FUCKING CREEPY. I loved it. SHGFKASFASF; Nagini scenes made me terrified. I feel sorry for the little children but I'm SO SO SO SO SO GLAD they included that feeling because that is literally how I felt reading it except just a bit more elevated in the film. Haha.
I forgot to include the Harry and Hermione dance scene! Blah getting out of sequence. But anyway, I absolutely adored it. It truly shows Harry and Hermione's friendship and I WANT YOU TO GO WATCH Kristina's take on it and Kayley's take on it because I feel the same way.
Ron coming back and his whole take on how he felt when he left and his exchange with them about what brought him back is really nice. I love Ron.
The Malfoy Manor scene was fantastic. It's the only thing I don't agree with Kayley on in that I thought Hermione's torture was super scary and I loved to see it played out. I didn't feel in the books the fear I felt in the movie during that scene. I hate hearing torture and Ron's agitation at it and just the look on Hermione's face: SO FANTASTICCCCC. Dobby was amazing also. I love me some Dobby (not in a creepy way). I got kind of annoyed that Griphook just dissappeared for a while during Dobby's funeral, but Dobby's death scene made up for it. His last words, oh my fucking god. I cried and cried in the books and I also cried in the movies. It is just so emotional: he was so brave courageous and amazing and just free and loving and KJSAKFNSDJGDSLKGJLKGJLHLDFMGLSMFVSGF; I love Dobby.
Really liked the cliffhanger thing and also the scenes Harry saw of Voldy trying to find the Elder wand before hand.

Overall:
Spectacular film. Words just can't explain and not even my review gives it justice (even though it's like a novel long)
I wish I could type more but I'm getting both lazy and out of words.

So anyway, yeah.
I will post more! Hopefully (haha)!
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I cannot wait for the second part. <3

Last Day!

Hi there! 

I have a lot I want to say in this post and I hope I remember all of it... I probably won't, but oh well. (:

First of all: Woah. Is it really the last day of BEDA? I can't believe it. This month went by so fast. I didn't even know it was the end of the month until yesterday. Crazycakes. 

I also want to genuinely thank Rebecca for reading these posts. I think you're the only one that reads them, but knowing someone out there reads my daily thoughts and the insight into my mind makes me incredibly happy. Plus, you're really nice and have an awesome blog! :D 

I'm actually almost glad only one person reads my blog. I posted some really embarrassing things on here that I wouldn't want anyone to see. I rant too much and complain all the time. But that's just how my blogs are I guess. 

I'm also incredibly happy I did BEDA. Some days I didn't want to blog, but the majority of the time I was anticipating blogging for the day so that I could get my thoughts out. And usually on those days I didn't want to blog, I actually would blog more than I expected to. It was like an emotional escape for me. I could just spew out all my ridiculous, awkward, weird, mean, sad, insane thoughts without having anyone I know personally irl read. Of course, I do feel kinda meh about some of the things I've posted and I'm ashamed for even a few people reading them, regardless of who they are, but that experience has made me grow. Just putting EVERYTHING out on this blog makes me feel so much better as a person. 

So back to the month going fast (I know I'm jumping around so much). This month was just insane. I never understood how much not only I, but as humans, we go through in a month. If so much goes on in just that short period of time, what about two months? 6 months? A year? Ten years? I could go on forever! It's so crazy how much I experienced, felt, and learned through just this one month. I met new people (whether I liked them or didn't), I experienced SO MANY different feelings and spewed most of them onto this blog, I learned a TON of information. But I'm still experiencing, still feeling, still learning. I'm making new friends all the time, and going through emotions on a daily basis. Things constantly change. For everyone. And the amount that changes in a small amount of time is a lot more than I would have thought. No matter what I go through, I can always feel that life will go on. 

So yeah, anyway. I'm going to keep writing blogs, even if I don't have much of an audience. This blog, this daily writing, has taught me so much more than I would have hoped for, and I don't want to end it. This blog is for me, the one place I can write mindless things and send it off into an oblivion... well not really an oblivion, but you understand what I mean (hopefully). I won't write EVERYDAY most likely, but I will probably write every two days or maybe once a week if it gets to that. Of course, even now, these blogs won't have anything substantial. They most likely won't be interesting or witty or full of ideas. They'll be my mind in a nutshell. What I'm thinking of at the single moment I write the blog. 

So yeah, I guess that's it! I had a wonderful month, despite all my troubles and worries. Blogging has been great. This weekend will be HP weekend for me, so I'll definitely write about that! I'm sure there'll be a blog before that though. 

Love you! 

Goodbye xx

Medicine bleh.

Hello there!

Guess what? This is the second to last day of BEDA. Woah. I know I haven't been blogging that wonderfully lately and this blog probably won't be huge, so I'm sorry. But there'll be more on that tomorrow. :D

Today was normally normal. I'm tired as usual.

My father got me this really weird herbal medicine type thing I have to take every morning and evening. It's like a really concentrated syrup and I have to mix it with water, milk, or juice. I tried water this evening and it tasted like a mixture of really subdued honey mixed with some kind of wheat thing and like weird water. I'm sorry, it's hard to explain. Anyway, hopefully I'll get used to the taste. It's for my eczema which has been acting up a lot. Guh. But that's gross, so no more on that.

The new headphones my brother got me are magnificent. I don't know if I told you he got me them or not and I don't really feel like checking (I know, I fail), but anyway, yeah, they're great. :D

Uhmm, I don't really have much to say! Boring blog, but I love just typing away. It's so relaxing and relieving.

Oh, I'll probably make a post about Mockingjay later. (:

Goodbyee! x

Birthday Surprise.

Hi theree!

Today my brother had his first surprise birthday party... He's 22 by the way. But I was really happy because he was truly SURPRISED. He had no idea whatsoever that his friends were going to be there. It was spectacular. My dad even got food from Olive Garden and an extremely awesome cake from Cold Stone Creamery.

Also, my brother got me headphones! Really nice ones at that. So great. :D

Tomorrow is my first APUSH test and I'm really nervous. D: Which is why I really need to go to bed.

This is really short. I'm sorry. Sleeeeepppyyyy!

Goodnight! x

Saturday, August 28, 2010

This is how I type when I'm tired and I can barely understand myself.

Hiiii.

So, before I start, I want to say: I am once again... yes you guessed it, tired. D: I need to start writing these blog posts earlier when I'm awake and alive.

Today was kind of... mehhh. I didn't get much done. I did almost all of my Stats homework and it's annoying me that I haven't done two problems and I can't figure them out. I've read on;y 1 and a half chapters of APUSH and I have to read the rest tomorrow which is going to be ripmyhairout gaaaahh. But it's okay. The night will improve my day with dreams and unconsciousness. (:

I had my first day of driving today! I was supposed to have it tomorrow when my eldest brother comes home and teaches me finalllyyyy, but my other brother got badgered by my dad into teaching me some today. It was scary, to say the least. I don't like it. Yet I like it. It's weird.

Next weekend will be Labor Day Weekend which is exciting for many reasons. No school Monday, Harry Potter weekend, APUSH test being over with, and others. I love long weekends. I think everyone does though.

In other news, I think I'm getting sick. I feel a sore throat coming on with headaches and sinus trouble. I also am having frequent stomach aches where my tummy threatens to make me think I'm going to upchuck everything when I'm really not. Having two different kinds of sicknesses at the same time would be terrible. I hope this doesn't happen.

So I am really really really sorry (once again) to myself and whoever is reading this about the lack of content on this little blog here. I've been blagh lately. It'll all be good soon!

Oh and I'm also sorry about the lack of Doctor Who. I have a feeling watching that will not be happening during the next few weeks which makes me so so so sad, because I was so excited for it. I would say that I could make time, but I really can't. That thirty minute episode could turn into 4 thirty minute episodes which would mean two hours lost of studying for AcDec, APUSH, Stats, or spending time with my family so that I don't show how stressed and studies-focused I am. (more on that later, possibly, if I want to get into it. You probably don't understand that sentence but I'm really too tired to type anything else. Except for this little excerpt. I'M CONTRADICTING MYSELFFFF.) But the time WILL come when I do watch it. I don't think I could live with myself if I never watched any Doctor Who, because I wouldn't understand anything. Well I would but... nevermind, now I'm confusing myself.

Okay, that's all.

jhsdhgskgsigh;

Hi.

I am so tired. Like all I want to do is sleep. I think I would be able to sleep anywhere right now. Luckily I am in my bed and so that doesn't really matter. But still. Worn out is Megha.

(slight pause as I go to eat dinner subconsciously)

Today was the Fall AcDec Workshop thing. It was nice. Kind of. Fun... kind of. Yeah. I actually really loved the car ride more than anything. That was hilarious.

So yes. I think thats it. Uhh... walrus?

I really don't know what to say here. Well, no, thats a partial lie. I really have tons to say. But I don't entirely want to put it all up here and then like either regret it or be annoyed at myself for it or be embarrassed. So, I won't do those things. Except the last one, because, let's face it: I embarrass myself on a daily basis.

I'm sorry my blogs have been so crappy lately. Hopefully I'll have something exciting tomorrow. I'm watching Doctor Who probably tomorrow, so that'll be exciting.

Meow.

Goodbye. x

For Esther.

Hi there.

Today was a relax day. Everything was well. I don't really have much to day.

I want to say something about the amazing and beautiful Esther Earl passing away, but words leave me. I never knew her personally so I can't say much about her from person experience, but I can say what I've seen both of her and of what people have said about her. That she was brave. She was inspiring. She was lovely and smart and just all around incredible. Cancer may have taken her presence away but she herself will always be in the hearts of everyone who loved her, even the people who didn't know her personally like me.

I can't really say much else...

Uhm, tomorrow I'll be at a Fall AcaDeca Workshop for most of the day. I'm leaving at around 6:45 a.m. and coming back at around 6:30 p.m. It should be nice.

I'm not entirely in the blogging mood, which is weird, because I love blogging. But hopefully there'll be something happy and exciting tomorrow.

Byee. x
