Everyone Check Out Jeni's Blog

I think everyone should check out Jeni's blog i feel like she spent a rediculous amount of time on her blog and i felt like i should recognize it haha. I commented on several of her blogs because it seems like she spent hours on each one. There was a lot of thought and effort put in them for sure. Especially the blog about her recreating toothless, it looks awesome, i can't wait!

So yeah, CHECK IT OUT!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone?

While doing research for my other Harry Potter posts i discovered that the first Harry Potter book Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone  was actually published under Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone everywhere but the United States and also Australia i believe. I just thought it was something interesting and something i didn't know before blogging.

Challenger Students PLEASE READ! Actually read it in its entirety

I decided to try my best to tie this post to something we've studied this semester because i might be able to get some extra credit for it. And i really need extra credit. But that is NOT the sole reason for this post, not even the primary one.

If you saw my comment to Abigail's post about themes you probably already know what im going to say. But in the Harry Potter series Harry, Ron and Hermione are the absolute best of friends. The fellowship the three of them share helped make the series. Even when they are fighting in the final books, in the end they pick up where they left off as if it had never happend. Only true friends are able to act as if it never happend in the first place. Besides that they were only fighting because Ron was forced to wear the evil Horcrux in the first place.

Aside from Harry Potter i'm actually begining to realize that many if not all of you will be leaving CHS this semester. And im also begining to see how much im going to miss you all. I know that i did not obtain the "best" of friends title with all of you, but i feel like i am friends with everyone in the class. I aslo know that i do not have a facebook, twitter, myspace or online communication resource. Nor will i be creating one. HOWEVER i have decided to continue using this blogger account to keep in touch with all of you. I have shared my entire highschool exprience with all of you, your a great group of friends, and im proud to call you all my classmates. Many of you want me to create a facebook and other social networking sites like that, but i refuse. So inplace of doing that i will to the best of my ability try and check this blogging account regularly to keep in touch.

I know many of you will not continue using blogger so... (i know this is not a good idea, but really who cares about safety these days anyways right?) here's my cellphone number (828-244-5106) for all of you who do no have it already. Because i really don't want to lose touch with any of you. If any of you  wanna talk feel free to text me i have unlimited texting, or if any of you ever need me you can call me whenever im always willing to listen if im able to.

Thanks guys i love you all, my only regret is that i will not be walking across the stage with many of you this May.

My Obsession Continued

During my second formal post i admitted to you my obsession with the character Hermione Granger. I know Mrs. Watson is in love with many characters, like any of the characters Gerard Butler plays. :) Anyways, im really curious if anyone else has a specific character that they can really relate to, or that they really like.

PS: Dont hate because this is such a short post, this is actually my 9th post, so im not REQUIRED to post it!

Lord of The Rings How It Should Have Ended Continued

After my formal blog i researched the source website that posted the youtube video Lord of The Rings How It Should Have Ended. I found that How It Should Have Ended is a website/company devoted to making parodies like the Lord of the rings parody for all sorts of movies, almost all of the movies imaginable. Every movie from superman, to batman, to all of the Harry Potter movie's. There are so many at your disposal. I checked out several of them myself, i challenge you to go to the website and look for a specific movie parody that interest you. Post the specific clip's web address that you really enjoyed and tell me why you chose it, maybe its because you have always been really interested in superman, or maybe because that clip was just hillarious.

If your a bit confused here is the direct link to the site itself, not just to youtube: http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/

You can check out many popular videos by clicking the video tab, but if your interested in looking for something not posted on the site, it may be because you are not registered with them. If thats the case look up "How it should have ended (insert video name here)" on youtube, there you will find many of them without having to register.

My Obsession With Harry Potter- Formal Blog Numero Dos

I myself am not obsessed with the Harry Potter series like many other fans such as Mrs. Polly Watson. I am obsessed in a very different and probably astonishing way. I admit, i am obsessed with the "character" Hermione Jean Granger. I have had the pleasure of reading several of the books and watching all of the movies. I do enjoy the series, but i really love Hermione's character. Hermione is a protagonist character who seems to excel and achieve at everything she does. What intrigues me the most however is that in my opinion she is such a nice and kind character. She is always warmhearted, honest and loving. Rowling even admited that she was meant as "the brightest character" and "very logical, upright and good". Being a nice and kind individual are the most important traits to a person in my opinion. Furthermore i find the upbeat, positive personality of the character what i have aspired to be like all along.
