| So....all of the sudden...I realized...
I have a xanga.
HA HA HA.
Wooooowwww.
What's new? WHAT'S NEW?!?!
I'm going back to school, I'm moving, I'm wondering what my major is, I'm 19, I'm uhhhh...wow. | | |
| I just spent about a hundred dollars on two new outfits for work. I feel disgusting now. I have NEVER spent that much on clothes before. Ever.
But I had no choice. Baaaaaaah.
And I only have two outfits. How does that work out????? How? :(
I go to Strongsville tonight to get some answers....hopefully all goes well!

| Harry Potter and the Half-Blood PrinceI finally got the chance to sit down and read the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series today. I finished it. I am left in awe right now. Firstly....because of rumors and people who can't keep their mouths shut....I already knew the ending of this book...but I'm not going to lie...it never truly hit me until I read it for myself.
For starters....up until the last three chapters...I declared this to be my favorite in the series. The excitement factor was at an all-time high, new questions and mysteries popped up at every flip of a page, and the character development throughout the series really becomes apparent in the 5th and 6th books...and might I say, Rowling does an excellent job of such.
I like the idea of Harry and Ginny being together. And at the same time it seems awkward...like it happened to fast without rational explination. Although....what is love...?
This book...is so different from the rest. If you didn't notice the turn in the fourth book to a more "evil" outtake on things...you definitely notice it in this one. The way Harry uses Slughorn's druken state to take advantage of him (also bribing with spider venom), then using his own parent's DEATHS to coeirse him into giving him the memory that he tries to block from his mind. That alone shocked me. Not to mention the idea of the Horcruxes and how they are used for immortality, then the "adventure" that he and Dumbledore embark on....to the cave. It all takes a serious leap from the previous books and leaves me wondering if the movie from this one will even be allowed a rating lower than R.
The thing that kills me most about this book is the death of Dumbledore. Sure...Rowling foreshadows throughout the chapters but when it happens...it is completely shocking and unbelievable to the reader...even if they expect it as did I. No matter what...it just kills you. I cried. Yes...I actually cried when I read that Snape had raised his wand and shouted the forbidden curse that shoots him over the edge of the highest tower of the castle to die a gruesome death. A character in a book.... I cried.
Surely...this says a lot about Rowling's writing. In which I can only express the fact that Dumbledore was without a doubt, my favorite character in the series. And to see or to read that that character dies...is heartbreaking. Everytime she wrote about him....he was brought to life right off the page. His spectacular robes, long silver hair and beard, his half-moon spectacles, and the wrinkles in his face. He was the most magical part of the book. He carried so many secrets with him...he always knew what someone was going to say before he said it. He was the wisest wizard in the world that these books create. And now he's gone.
The thing that comes to mind most is Mufasa dying in the Lion King. I mean COME ON. But at the same time...it makes you feel a certain...."has to happen" kind of feeling. And you KNOW as a reader of the series...you just KNOW that Dumbledore knew the whole time that he was going to die that night. YOU KNOW IT! I don't know what to think about Snape. I'm kind of left bewildered there. Part of me has this feeling that Snape is good...and that he knew he'd have to kill Dumbledore that night as well because it was for the best or blah-dee-blah-dee-blah. Part of you also thinks....He's evil...he has been from the start.
And then you realize that you just spent all this time thinking WAY too deeply into the subject...and J.K. Rowling has accomplished what many authors wish they could....in the fact that she never leaves her audience empty-handed. Yes, you're always questioning 50 different things at once. and you become absorbed in the subject that you talk about it for days.
yes....so that was my random ramblings after finishing the book.
thank you.
the end.
goodnight. | | |
| I'm a manager now.
I'm being transferred to a brand new theater in Strongsville. It's about a 35 minute drive from Akron, so in a sense I'll be commuting to and from Akron like crazy. I'm half excited and half really nervous. I'm nervous because I feel sad to leave my friends and essential "family" at Tinseltown. I love that place so much. But I'm really excited at the same time because this place feels like a great opportunity. Who knows. :) I have a lot of thoughts and ideas of things I want to do at this theater.
In other news...I have this terrible feeling inside that Jimmy's mom hates me. Or at the very least...that she doesn't accept me as someone suitable to date her son. I feel like she just has this radiating hatred towards me and I don't know what to do. The first time I met her...I felt like we got along fairly well. But when we started dating...it was like everything fell apart.
I'm to church with them tomorrow. I have this feeling that I don't belong there. A feeling that I'm not good enough to be a part of their family when they spend this kind of religious time together I suppose. As crazy or stupid as that may seem. I feel like I'm being judged...like I'm not a good enough Christian or a good enough person in general. Is that absurd? bah.
I just don't know what to think at all. Any ideas? | | |

Eh...I figure it's been over about two months now since my last post...I guess it's a good time to update people on my life...not that anyone really reads this much anymore anyways. lol.
For starters...I applied for the Disney College Program...I don't know how that's going yet...because my application process is considered "pending." for the time being. I think I want to go next spring. It'll be an interesting experience for sure.
I also have turned in resumes for management positions at both Tinseltown and a new theater opening up in Strongsville at Southpark Mall. I had an interview at Strongsville yesterday...and it seemed to have gone well. From what I've heard from others...Stancatto is interested in giving me a shot at Tinseltown as well. But I feel...on the line about it I guess. They both have advantages and disadvantages.
Either way...I need to get a car pretty soon here.
Other than that...school is busy as hell.
It's sib weekend at Akron today.
That's about it.
Jimmy is still the coolest kid ever too.
Okay...I'm done. Not so much to say as I thought. lol.... | | |
