Okay, since I went to camp, I am obligated to blog about it. It wasn't really bad at all. Most of that had to do with the fact that my counselor was shorter than me and I made like four whole friends. That's amazing. It took me months to even talk to Kayla, let alone become friends. She was always so serious and got annoyed at stupidity. Now that I know her that sounds ridiculous, but it was true. Ah well, it shows that when you get to know people they change in your mind forever. Other than making friends, I did archery and high ropes. Archery was terrible. I was planning on pretending to be Robin or Marian, but that didn't work, seeing as I only hit the target two out of nine times. I was probably the worst at it. *Sigh* High Ropes was one of the most terrifying things I've ever done. I was fine up until this one part. It's this thing called the spider web. It looks like a spider web and you have to climb across and get onto the balance-beam-log-thing. The log was okay, I just held onto my rope and walked across, but the spider web... I don't even want to talk about it. There was this X and I was fine with that until I got to one point where I had to hang. I thought I was going to fall. Then came the zip-line. I love them, so I was fine with that.
I just finished watching Robin Hood season two, and when Marian died I cried so much. Here is the mental conversation I had with my self:
"Why are you crying now when you barely cried at all when Dumbledore died in the film?"
"But I don't like film Dumbledore. I am not attached to him. I half cried for Marian and half for Robin."
"I think you like Robin Hood more than Harry Potter!"
"NO!!!!!! That's not true. I like Robin Hood more than the Harry Potter movies. I cried my eyes out in the books."
"Sure, sure. Whatever you say... traitor."
I have annoying voices in my head. I am no Allan (*cough* or Brittany *cough*).
On another note, I bought the ALL CAPS album off of itunes and I love it. I could listen to More Than Alive for an hour on repeat. That's how much I love it.
Sexy: Luke Conard's voice. He is amazing.
Unsexy: High Ropes courses.
P.S. Has anyone else noticed that Luke Conard and Jonas Armstrong look like cousins or something?

My Fan-Fiction is No More
Yes, I already blogged today, but I have stuff to talk about. Firstly, I watched Edward Scissorhands today and it was amazing. Johnny Depp was brilliant even when he was twenty-seven. Winona Ryder looks a lot like my cousin, though not as much in this movie because of her hair. I really want to see everything Johnny Depp has been in.
Also, I have camp starting tomorrow afternoon, so don't expect tweets, blogs or anything else. I really used to like camp, but now I'm not sure I want to go. I mean, they make you go to bed at ten, they make you get up at seven, and you're not allowed internet or phones or music. How is that fun? Someone please explain this to me. ah, well. I will be going nonetheless, so I might as well try to enjoy it. Also, the campers are always really mean. I got made fun of when I was younger, and last year there was a girl who hated me for no reason and got one of the other girls to yell at me. I don't know why. Camp has never been a good experience, but, year after year, I go back.
Lastly, and most importantly, I had been planning a Robin Hood fanfiction a few weeks ago, in which Guy finds out that Marian is the Night Watchman and she is sentenced to hang. But he feels bad and loves Marian, so he convinces Allan to pretend to be the Night Watchman. In my story Allan dies. The most recent episode I watched, Guy found out that Marian was the Night Watchman. He was really mad and told the sheriff that he had caught the Night Watchman. She was sentenced to hang. But as she was about to walk out, the Night Watchman appears somewhere near, and the gaurds go chasing after him. This fake Night Watchman was Allan. The only difference is that in the show he doesn't die. Grrr. I really wanted to write this, and now I can't. That makes me mad.
And since I forgot to include Sexy/Unsexy, here it is:
Sexy: Jonas Armstrong as Robin Hood, but I assume he'd be just as hot any other time.
Unsexy: Including my Fan Fiction in plot lines (though this episode was mde a long time before my Fan Fiction, but who cares.)

Hi. Long time no see. Not really. It's only been two days. Anyway. I recently got the HBP wii game. It gets frustrating. I make random comments on it that my little sibling find hilarious. I don't know why they seem to think I'm funny, but they do. If you run into people they say, "Ugh,", drop their book, and then keep going on with out it. I try to run into as many people as I can. While playing this game I had a flash-back to going over to my best friend in third grade's house and playing Harry Potter on X-Box. I can't remeber which one, but I do remember we would be in random places and start shooting eachother with spells until one of us died and we had to start the level over. Sadly, this is not possible on wii.
Also, I am reading The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson. It is really good. I plan to read an Abundance of Kathrines by John Green next. That is all.

HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
was freaking awesome. I didn't get to blog when it was fresh in my mind because my mom is mean and decided she won't let me on the computer after midnight (and it was three so that classifies as after midnight). But it was the best movie yet and I desperately hope that Deathly Hallows is just as good.
The acting was super amazing. Rupert Grint was hilarious. Daniel was, too, but just in a few scenes. His best was the Felix Felicis scene. He kind of reminded me of a little six-year-old with ADD. But it was funny anyway. Some of the Harry/Ginny scenes were odd. I really didn't like it when Bonnie said, "Take my hand." It was weird. Helena Bonham carter was brilliant as Bellatrix, of course. As was Alan Rickman. Lavender was pretty good. She was a little overly obsessive and scary, instead of overly obsessive and flirty. Oh well. All the little additions were great. Blaise, Pansy, Cormac (He was HOT), and all the others. And don't even get me started on Tom Felton. I think my little crush on Tom has affected how I think about movie Draco. I almost cried during the bathroom fight. He was all bloody and, *sob* I don't know. I felt bad for him. Draco has so much inner conflict and character depth in this book and Tom portrayed that wonderfully. He got the tourtured-I-don't-want-to-do-this-but-I-have-to look down perfectly. When he was crying it really brought out a weak side of Draco that you don't see in the first five books. It makes me believe that Draco has good deep inside him, but he thinks it shows weakness and is afraid of his father, so he covers it up with arrogant bullying.
Enough about the acting. The cave scene was so good. I was sitting in my chair, tense and just staring at the screen. That started when Harry and Dumbledore were on that rock, and ended after he died. I think I was trying to keep my self from crying. I never really had tears running down my cheek, but my eyes were a little wet. I felt like I was about to cry full-out tears, but I didn't. Maybe sitting stiffly in a chair and telling yourself not to cry helps. As I said, the Felix scene was great. Harry was really strange, but I liked it. It bothered me that when Dumbledore died, Harry was able to move. I don't know why they changed that. The thought in the book that the only reason the spell Dumbledore had put on him had ended was because he was dead was kind of finalizing his death. I thought the part in Hagrid's hut, when Slughorn was talking about the fish/petal Lily had given him disappearing when she died, was leading up to that so you would know why Harry could suddenly move, but they didn't even have that. Harry would have saved Dumbledore if he'd been able to. Plus they left out Dumbledore's funeral. What the heck? In the book that was the more touching moment. When Dumbledore died I didn't want to believe it (the first time I read it), but the funeral just made me realize that he did.
I'm kind of not wanting to type anymore because I'm afraid all the negative things will come to my mind and convince me that I didn't like the movie. I know this wasn't very long. Deal.
Sexy: Tom Felton. Any time any place, any movie.
Unsexy: Making the people you aren't supposed to like in movies hot (Tom Felton, Freddie Stroma, etc...)

Carowinds and Robin Hood SPOILERS
I have a good excuse for not blogging this time. I wasn't on the computer whatsoever. I recently worked through three days worth of tweets.
*SPOILERS* Don't read this paragraph unless you have seen every episode of Robin Hood or have no intention of watching it.
So, recently I have been watching the BBC show Robin Hood. It is amazing and I have developed crushes on about four characters. I have theories that I have made. Kayla, I too am mad at Wikipedia for spoilers. I just got some of the second and third season spoiled for me. Grrr. Oh well. I am going to continue with my theories as if I hadn't read them (most of my theories have been affected, but I am still standing by them and hoping that Wikipedia is WRONG AND ROBIN WILL NOT DIE). I think that Djaq likes Allan romantically, because (I am half-way through the second season and this could change) when she figured out that Allan was a traitor she said that she thinks he is a good man. The way she treats him makes me think that she loves him, but according to wikipedia, I am wrong. I am ignoring Wikipedia. I also think that Guy (yes, that is his name) is really good on the inside. Even though evidence that I saw before I started watching it proves me wrong. Oh well. I guess all my theories are wrong. NEVER READ CHARACTER DISCRIPTIONS ON WIKIPEDIA UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN THE WHOLE MOVIE/SHOW. Just a little tip.
On a brighter note, I want to Carowinds the past two days. It is my regions amusment park. The first time I went with my family. The next day I went again with my friend. We were in the kiddie area and decided to be stupid and ride the carousel. The ride attendent spoke like Elmo. It was creepy. but it was a lot of fun.
I love The Vitamin String Quartet and I love Paramore. When combined it is amazing.
And, because I like stealing people's ideas, I am going to steal sexy/unsexy from hayleyghoover.
Sexy: Casual button-downs and jeans
Unsexy: Smoking. You may think it makes you look cool and grown up, but really, it smells terrible and it hurts you and those around you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know. I haven't blogged in a really long time. It's not that I'm busy, I just have a boring life. And about my photographs, if you want to see them, just go to my Flickr.
I'm really, really excited about Half-Blood Prince and I'm praying that Kayla will go. *closes eyes and crosses fingers* My stupid cat just jumped up on a chair, put her paws on my should and meowed, and then went away. She's done this about three times in the past five or so minutes. Weirdo. I know that I have two followers that aren't people I know. Erm, hello to those people. Basically this is like a diary for me. Or communicating with my best friend, Kayla. So, yeah.
I've decided that Emma Watson is my idol. I've also decided that every paragraph has to start with the letter "i", apparently. I need to get back on topic. Speaking of topic, Hot Topic... never mind. So, Emma Watson is gorgeous, but that is not my reason for loving her. I'm not that type of girl, promise. I want to be more like her. She is a funny, smart, talented actress. I'm sure she has that inner nerdiness that all of us Harry Potter fans share. Whether or not she's nerdy on the outside (which she isn't). Now that's not saying I'm not nerdy on the outside. Because I am a huge nerd. Not only am I a nerd, but a stereotypical nerd. I have glasses, I love books, I have a crap sense of style, and I kind of love correcting people when they say something that is wrong.
Here's a conversation that might happen: girl at school: "Hey! Do you want to go to the mall with me and Jenny?" Me: *trying to hold it in but it bursts out* "You mean Jenny and me. Crap. Yeah, I'd love to go!" Girl: "Nevermind. I just remembered I'm busy. Maybe some other time..." Actually, that wouldn't happen. No one in their right mind would go to the mall with me. I just sit in Hot Topic and stare at all the Harry Potter merchendise. Or I'd stalk the merchendise and find it in other stores. Now I can say what I was going to earlier without sounding ADD. HOT TOPIC HAS SIX FREAKING PAGES OF HARRY POTTER MERCH! I realize I still sound insane, though.
Bye <3>

Photography Walk
I own too many books. In my room alone are 126. That is all. Maybe I'll post a list of all of them tomorrow.
On another note, I went on a photography walk today. My sister came and I took a picture of anything in my neighborhood that was pretty and not too close to the houses. Sorry, you don't to see the pictures, I have no idea how to put them on here at the moment. I'll try to figure it out and put some on here tomorrow. During this walk, I stopped to take a picture and these little kids stopped what they were doing and just stared at me. Maybe they thought I was weird for taking a picture of a stop sign or something. I just kind of ignored them. And then one of them went behind their house and got another little kid. They all just stared at me. One of them walked forward a bit and said, "Hey!". I did not know this little kid. I waved and continued taking pictures. Then the mom came from behind the house and told them to come back. Later on I walked past that house again. They were playing out front, so my sister and I started singing "Save Ginny Weasley" at the top of our lungs. Good times. I almost got chased by a dog, but the owner came out and told it to leave us alone. While looking at some pretty flowers, I realized I was standing by a yellow jacket hole, because they came out. I ran at full speed down the street, because I know how violent they can get. It was definitely one of the more interesting walks I've had.
I miss my best friend. =(
