annoying sniffles.

I have an annoying cold.

Dry cough.

My nose feels runny but nothing happens with I blow my nose.

My lungs burn and hurt... especially when I cough.

And I constantly feel hot. Like a fever or something.

UGH.

All I wanted to do was sleep last night so I could wake up and feel like a normal girl. But this cold refused to let me have that.

UGH.

So I will just go drink a bottle of Nyquil, read my Harry Potter on my Harry Potter pillow case, and hope for the best.

the boy i will always love.

Do you know the answer?

Do you WANT to know the answer?

Well the answer is Harry Potter.

I found out today that there is a Harry Potter Wikipedia. I'm not sure how old the site is, but if you already knew about it, don't tell me because I don't want to think about how long I was living without it. And I can never just read about Harry Potter or see a little snippet about Harry Potter and not want to re-read the series. So that's what I'm doing. I'm re-reading the series starting today and even though I already read it a few times, I'm pretty excited.

a whole lot of nothing can happen in a week.

So not eventful. But I still liked this week.

Monday - We go see the movie, Tower Heist. I go into the theater with zero expectations and leave the theater still laughing and ready to see it again.

Tuesday - I meet my Sisters at Subway for dinner. I try cucumber and tomatoes on a sandwich and become more obsessed with my nephews and nieces.

Wednesday - I go visit my friend, Dustin, who works at the Radisson Hotel downtown. We watched Llamas With Hats together on Youtube. While I was there, I decided I really want to work at a hotel.

Thursday - I wake up. I go to work. I come home from work. I don't do the dishes even though I should. I go to bed.

Friday -  I call in sick to work because of a migraine. I feel better around six PM. I go on a date with this guy again... we went bowling, he beat me and then we spend a few hours talking and people watching at the bowling ally.

Saturday - I go to TWO football games... BOTH involving snow. I stood a total of six hours outside this day, in freezing temperatures and snow. Later this night, I eat a piece of chicken with only a knife (cutting with it and taking bite with it) because I still haven't done the dishes.

Sunday - Harry Potter marathon on TV.

my wall.

Out of nowhere, I decided to start hanging things on the wall by my door in my bedroom. Most of it is favorite pictures I've hung on to over the years and my new Instax photos. Some of it is just random things from concerts and stuff I've found and kept throughout my life. Also, on my light switch, I did indeed write 'Lumos' and 'Nox' But are you honestly surprised? I'll freaking love Harry Potter til the day I die.

today is the day.

I've always been waaaaay too emotionally invested with the Harry Potter series.

So right now, I am feeling every possible emotion at the same time.

according to my calculations....

20 days

22 hours

8 minutes

until......

my eyes are really dry, they look kind of red.

I don't know what happened... but according to WebMD.com I may have Glaucoma. EVERYBODY PANIC!!!

It was this morning when I noticed my eyes that were resembling these candies...

 (nom nom nom)

 I thought it was just cause I was really tired, you know, sleep deprivation. Then I got to work and I noticed everyone kept doing major double takes... when they would approach the question of my red looking eyes they treated me as if I was a puppy who was just drop kicked. I've been squinting all day to prevent my eyes from feeling dry. Surely I look like I'm attempting to plot some sort of kidnapping in my mind.

While we are discussing kidnapping.. if you could possess any super power, what would it be? BESIDES flying? Because duh, who wouldn't want to fly?

I would choose time manipulation.... That or the ability to turn invisible... but that just might be my Harry Potter fanatic side of me talking. The invisibilty cloak will exist someday... someday.

marry me, harry potter!!!!

I saw Harry Potter. Reader, I had goosebumps for like the first eight minutes. It was that magical. I jumped out of my seat (not really, I just got way scared and flinched really hard) a few times.

I want to make a formal and sincere apology to the movie goers who were standing in line behind me at the concessions. I turned around before I took this picture to make sure there wasn't a line... nobody was there.

I dig into my bottomless purse filled with a bunch of things I never use to find my camera--turn around-- nobody was there.

I arrange the concessions to make a pleasing-to-the eye background for my glorious Harry Potter ticket that I'll make into a locket someday---turn around--nobody was there.

Snap! Picture taken. I turn around to walk jubilantly to the theater-- there was a line of like six people.

Seriously, where did they all come from? I want to know. I'm sorry I was so annoying by taking a picture of my ticket and popcorn.

IN OTHER NEWS I got my new cell phone and I'm starting to think it's smarter than I am. Okay, not really, but it's hard to get used to. Does anyone else have Comcast? Does anyone else want to join my new club? It's called, "Comcast, I hate you." The motto is: If the Comcast automated menu/system had face, we would punch it.... I don't really know if that counts as a motto.

Seriously though Comcast, your customer service is NOT satisfactory, kthanksbye.

Speaking of Comcast, I was on the phone with them and I screamed. Not cause I was upset with them and wanting put a toothpick under my big toe nail and kick a soccer ball instead of talking to them, but because Steve left a towel hanging on the bathroom door. Do you know what a towel hanging on the bathroom door looks like in the dark when you are pacing around the empty apartment? A MAN! A BIG SCARY STRANGE MAN!

So I screamed, startled myself as well as the Comcaster dude. Maybe one day I'll be scared of real things and not a towel... on a door.

the boy who lived.

The midnight premier (ew, I just realized how much I hate spelling premier) for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is officially tomorrow night. Tragically, I won't be in my Hogwarts uniform costume sitting in a movie theater at midnight with a blue slurpee and popcorn waiting to stand up and cheer when the movie starts. I will be on a bus with the next best thing, the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Have you ever been so lonely, you played your bagpipes to a bike?

p.s. Is that Harry Potter?

my shoes are cooler than your shoes.

Look! My shoes! I like them a lot.

Help wanted: There is a knife in my heart. Needing some help getting it removed. It was put there at work today when I realized that I can't go to the midnight showing of Harry Potter because I will be on a bus en route to San Diego at that time.

the best things in life aren't things.

I'm currently dehydrated. I'm actually desperately thirsty as I type this. But the thought of walking to get water will make me more thirsty, so I choose to suffer here.

The more I drink water, the more thirsty I feel. Today when I returned to my natural habit (our apartment), I was chugging gulps of water out of a gallon of water we keep in the fridge.I sincerely felt the only way to get rid of the thirst was to dump the water all over me. I'm aware that would leave me wet and.... still thirsty, but your mind turns on you when you're lacking water!! In fact there is a bunny hopping across the screen that looks like an arrow....

Today was my friend. However, preferably  it would've been spent with me sprawled in bed, laying on my Harry Potter pillow case reading Harry Potter. I just started re-reading the series.

i'd rather be reading harry potter.

I saw the official preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1 and I proudly had goosebumps the entire preview. If I didn't want everyone in the theater to throw their popcorn and Cokes at me, I would've stood up and clapped... so I settled for the silent scream instead.

Even Darth Vader is a Harry Potter fan.

i keep getting goosebumps when i think about harry potter.

It's true. But they are goosebumps of pride! I will have it known that I just might be one of the biggest Harry Potter fans you will ever come across. Don't believe me? Just look at my Harry Potter pillow case.

Last night, Steve and I watched Little Miss Sunshine for the first time. We both give it two thumbs up. I wish I had bigger thumbs to give it more appreciation. I don't like to freely pawn off my personal movie reviews, so I will just say that I was extremely impressed with Steve Carell. For once, he wasn't playing the expected Michael Scott role.

However, he said this and it truly moved me.

"Anyway, he, uh, he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. You don't get better suffering than that."

Shortly after I graduated and went through the whole, "I'll never forget you!!" "KEEP IN TOUCH!!!" "We'll still hang out!" BLAH BLAH BLAH. I was soaking in depression.

I was totally isolated but yet, I didn't care. When I was alone I wanted to be with people and when I was with people all I wanted was to be alone.

I eventually chewed my depressions face off, spit out and danced on it. But when I remember those dark days, that's when my life was most interesting. That's when I learned the most about who I was. That's when I felt the most like myself.

Do you agree with that quote?

look! i'm harry potter!

Don't waste your time asking me, "Team Edward or team Jacob?" Um. No. How about I'm team Harry Potter.

Let's be honest, is there anyone in the world who doesn't like Harry Potter? If you don't like Harry Potter, I don't know if I can live knowing someone in the world exists who doesn't like Harry Potter. This is a material world and I am a HARRY POTTER GIRL!!! Wow.

If you couldn't guess, this post was born due to my eagerness of the 7th Harry Potter that feels like it will never come out. I am living for this upcoming Harry Potter movie. I mean my paper chain countdown can only do so much. On second thought, maybe I shouldn't be this excited... the sooner it comes out, the sooner I will have no Harry Potter midnight premiers to look forward to. Aaaah! Is it possible for a girl to have this many emotions for Harry Potter?
