Some things never change

I just realized today that I've been blogging for more than a year! Shocking! Who knew I would last this long? Certainly not me. I thought I might get bored and quit after a while. And honestly, certain events almost convinced me to quit. But I think we all know how devastated some of you would be to be deprived of my genius. So, I persevered! And this somewhat crazy post is the result.

Here are some things that never change:

1. Pioneer Day is awesome no matter what, but it would be infinitely more enjoyable if I were in Utah and got the day off. As it is, I'm a wee bit bitter against Mom and Dad for their taunting. So rude! I feel like I may need to make some cheesy potatoes this weekend to celebrate my heritage.

2. The Utah state song is super catchy.

3. Some people are just lame. I'm not talking about people who like golf, knit tea cozies, or read about quantum physics for fun. I'm not even talking about people who invade your personal space (something that should be impossible while you're protected behind a reference desk) while telling you about nano technology and it's potential to fight Lyme disease. Those people are just different. And as we all know, it takes all types to make the world. But other people are mean, for no real reason at all. And that's not cool. I wish this one would change.

4. Sometimes I really wish I was a spy. Or that I had crazy ninja skills. Or both.

5. Humidity was created to test and try man. I am failing.

6. Jacob is better than Edward (but Jasper trumps all).

7. When people mention chocolate covered cinnamon bears, my mouth waters, and I curse the expense of having large quantities of CCCB shipped to VA.

8. Blogging is therapeutic. For example, right now I'm so relaxed that I could fall right asleep. Of course, that might be because I'm freakin' tired.

9. You guys are the best.

I gotta get back to Hogwarts!


Post coming soon on my new living arrangements, I promise. But for now, I just want to say how excited I am for Half-Blood Prince. Opens in less than 2 hours! Of course, I won't be seeing it that soon, but that's not the point! The point is, when Deathly Hallows came out 2 years ago, I wasn't sure if I'd ever feel that Harry Potter excitement again. And now I do! It's not quite at the fever pitch it was then, but still, it's pretty darn close. Even if the movie disappoints in every other way, I will always love it for giving me back that lovin', Harry Potter feelin'. Plus, it really does look like a super fun film. Here, if I have done this correctly, is the super excellent trailer:

Well, a link to it anyway. Dag, I just can't figure that darn thing out.

Anywho, my other main past time lately has been watching "A Very Potter Musical," the fan made Harry Potter Musical. It's about the funniest thing I've ever seen, although there is a bit of swears and a few slightly off-colour jokes. I'm British, y'all. Do you see how I spelled "colour?" It never ceases to amaze me 1) how much people love Harry Potter, and 2) how creative they are! So here's the first little bit of "A Very Potter Musical." As far as I know, there is one swear in this section, said by Ron (how could you, Ron?!?!?). But it's honestly a super catchy song.

In conclusion, HARRY POTTER RULES!!!!!! That is all.
