Only because I've watched this scene 100 times today

It's the best part of the movie
and
he kind of makes me melt.
Mostly his accent.

probably copying jenna.

a list that changes almost daily.
my favorites, in no particular order.

1. I told you my compound would take you places. I never said they'd be places you wanted to go.
2. She said she 'hates him with the fire of a thousand suns.' That's a direct quote.
3. He was a rower. He was very hot.
4. Better a silly girl with a flower than a silly boy with a horse and a stick.
5. Dreams feel real while we're in them. It isn't until we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.
6. What a busy afterlife you're having.
7. Legend has it, when the Santa Anas blow, all bets are off; anything can happen.
8. Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.

I have a crush on sweet potato fries.
We're very happy together.

last night I had a dream I was in europe with joseph gordon-levitt.

Probably because I watched an interview yesterday of him talking about 500 Days of Summer.

He talked about why he and Zooey Dechanel have such good chemistry and stuff. He said one of the things he did was listen to She & Him every day on his way to work during the filming. He said he was 'just smitten by her beautiful melodies' and he knew his character would be too.

Uhh, he's cute. Speaking of She & Him....
I really gotta go to their concert on the 26th.

hi i'm jessie and i like plaid.

there will be no foolish wandwavings or silly incantations in this class.

I was reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, as I do, and I came across a passage that was surprisingly similar to my very first day of AP Calculus....


"Settle down," said [Palmer] coldly, shutting the door behind him.
There was no real need for the call to order; the moment the class had heard the door close, quiet had fallen and all fidgeting stopped. [Palmer's] mere presence was usually enough to ensure a class's silence.
"Before we begin today's lesson," said [Palmer], sweeping over to his desk and staring around at them all, "I think it appropriate to remind you that next May you will be sitting an important examination, during which you will prove how much you have learned about the composition and use of magical [calculus]. Moronic though some of this class undoubtedly are, I expect you to scrape an 'Acceptable' in your [AP test], or suffer my... displeasure."
His gaze lingered this time upon [Jessie], who gulped.
"After this year, of course, many of you will cease studying with me," [Palmer] went on. "I take only the very best into my N.E.W.T. [calculus] class, which means that some of us will certainly be saying good-bye."
His eyes rested on [Jessie] and his lip curled. [Jessie] glared back, feeling a grim pleasure at the idea that she would be able to give up [math] after [eleventh] year.
"But we have another year to go before that happy moment of farewell," said [Palmer] softly, "so whether you are intending to attempt N.E.W.T. [calculus] or not, I advise all of you to concentrate your efforts upon maintaining the high-pass level I have come to expect from [AP] students.



That dialogue was uncanny. I think my teacher read that passage before the first day of school.
But ohhh, I'm so glad that "happy moment of farewell" finally came.


I'll feel like a plagiarising criminal unless I cite this....
page 231-232, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

fort lauderdale


she was a daaaay tripper

We took a day trip to Logan, to watch operas, because we like to be full of culture and class.

We went to the oldest and smelliest book store ever.
I like bookstores. I like looking for weird titles.

These were pretty weird. But they don't beat the ones Kylie found with her roomates a while ago:
"Seduction at Christmas" and "Ravished by a Highlander."


Do you know what else I like? I like when songs say the age that you are:
"If I was seventeen I could find it in between the cushions of somebody's couch."
"Tell me 'bout the days when you were seventeen."
"When I was seventeen, I had wrists like steel."

harry potter world: part 2

"As happy as a kid in a candy store."
I now know the truthfulness of that saying.

It looked so perfect in there.

They had all the right kinds of candy.
Not just Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts.
All the less popular ones too. Like Pepper Imps and Sugar Quills.




I see why it's Ron's favorite.
