more potter-fessions

I want to do this at work!

It made me laugh

Okay here it is, my Twilight Rant. I just can't contain it anymore.

Twilight.

I think it should be classified as horror. A horror to literature... a horror to film...

This is all my personal opinion based on my expiriance with Twilight. The Books, The Movies, The Fans, and The Ever Present Twi-Tards.

Let's start WAYYY back. When I was in grammar school, I read a lot of books. I had ZERO friends. That's not an overstatement either. NONE. Book characters were my friends. They shaped my life and who I am. I have obsessions, like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. I understand loving a book/movie so much that it hurts. I understand having a crush on a fictional character. I, in no way, deny that I still have these obsessions and would not trade them for anything. I also know that even LotR and HP have Die-Tard fans who make me quote "You make me sick, and I want to kick you" (( Brentalfloss <3 )). But This... is far more annoying and maddening than any Potter-Tard I've run into.

Again, we go back. Right after I had finished reading HP PoA, and I was waiting for GoF to come out, I picked up The Lord of the Rings. My school told me that it was "too advanced" for me. I knocked the Trilogy out in three weeks. This kick-started my want for adult fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi. The next author I found was the lovely Anne Rice <3 and I fell in love with The Vampire Lestat.

Now, everyone at school... or most people anyway, made fun of me for everything I did. Even my love for Harry Potter, even though they all read it too. I liked the Marauders and "they're old!" and I loved Snape and Draco so I became the "dark girl" who liked "Evil things"

Lestat made that even more true. I liked VAMPIRES! Oh god did they have a field day! And I, as a young child, wanted to be a vampire. Be scary and immortal... beautiful forever... things no one else could have. I dreamed of it. ((Along with my acceptance letter to Hogwarts, which I would get first. Then, after 7 years there, I would become a vampire and the world would be a better place.)) Ah the dreams of a young girl.

So I loved vampires, I wanted to be one.

So how can I hate Twilight? How can I bash the Twi-Fags when I was a Vampire Lover too? And still am for that matter ((Tag-Team Alucard and Lestat for the win!))

I can  because I was in third or fourth grade at the time! A time when indoor recess meant being left out of the Cat Club ((where the girls all pretended to be cats)). SO yeah, I'm not ashamed.

But now! I got made fun of for YEARS for liking Vampires, and now some sparkly douche who sucks at being a boyfriend and a person in general, who can walk in the sun and SOMEHOW pass his vampiric powers onto his CAR comes along, and I'm made fun of because I DON'T like the shitty Fairies-pretending-to-be-vampires.

I read all the books. I saw the first movie. That's more Twilight then I feel I need in my life. I do have an educated opinion.

I just can't stand when a senior in high school informs her bf that she won't go to prom unless they both dress as Edward and Bella... there's a problem.

Like, don't get me wrong, If you both WANT to do that thats... well... up to them. I won't judge. Hell, I would have gone to prom in Hermione's dress if I could have.

It's the "I HAVE to" and the SHOVING TWILIGHT DOWN PEOPLE'S THROAT that I can't stand.

I cannot BELIEVE some things people do/say when it comes to Twilight... They are selling the wedding/engagement/whatever ring and the wedding dress from Twilight which is cool for fans, but there are so many people out there who are like "I'm only going to marry a guy if he proposes with the Twilight Ring" or "I will only wear bella's dress!" and I'm serious about this. It's so stupid. I commend you as a fan if you own the ring or whatever, but don't be so obsessive that you won't let your guy pick out a ring he likes for you. The Twilight franchise just wants money and **some** of the fans ((not ALL)) are fucking stupid... >.>

And guys... don't get her the Twilight ring if you can avoid it ok? I mean, part of love is originality in your relationship. You don't want to BE Edward and Bella. You want to BE you and your sig. other... you know?!

Urgh... that's it for now. I could rant for days.

((To the twi-fans, who just love it for what it is... I  am not in anyway trying to insult you or your opinion))

Cause I'm Bored and Harry Potter Makes Me Happy!

It's kinda funny....

I love facebook. I really do. But I love it for reasons that I think other people don't really think about, or they just don't care. Facebook is a way to watch people change... and it's a great way to learn the truth about people. I know, usually people think that other people use blogs and websites like facebook to lie and to make their lives seem better than they are.... but I see truth in facebook. Why? Because you have so many people who know you... sometimes even parents and such.... who know if you are lying.

But today, I saw something amazing. And it actually made me realize something about myself too.

An old friend... who I loved dearly... who I "walked a thousand miles" for a thousand times... decided a while back that they hated me. Whatever. You know what, it hurt. I tried to pretend it didn't... but I'm not ashamed to admit that I am human. I felt betrayed. I still do. Even my own mother got upset... because she'd done a lot for this person too.

And on Facebook... not even being friends with said person, but sharing a mutual friendship.... I see this person.. and a few others who have come and gone from my life in the same way... and they're moving on. Growing up. Becoming better people. All without me.

And it's odd to see them living their lives and wondering if they miss me too... And knowing in my heart that they don't. Or they never cared. Or they used me.

And I always have thought of myself as someone who needed to be... well.. needed. I thought I'd be upset about this.

But the truth is... they are better off in life without me.

And I'm better off without them.

But I'm happy we had our time together.

So thank you Facebook... you useless social media addiction.... for once... you have showed me something worth thinking about.

So true!!!

Questionable Mood...

So I have a party to attend tonight. Sounds fun right? Well it will be. I am sure of it. However, there is a kink in my plans in the form of a person who usually puts my knickers in a bunch, to put it lightly. I hope, with all my heart, that I can typically avoid this person and enjoy my night, but I feel that said person will probably make themselves unavoidable because they are VERY self absorbed and egotistical and its a very "me-monster" situation. *sigh* Not to mention that this person is very good at upsetting other people who fall in my area of concern.

And with all of this... I am in a very questionable mood. I am past the line of politically correct and beyond the borders of caring what people think of me. My buttons have all been pushed and have, unfortunately, stuck. I am no longer a ticking-time-bomb, but a touch and/or voice activated explosive that is ready to go off at the next person who can't control themselves....

Please, God or Somebody, give me the strength to keep my mouth shut....

I can't tell you how many times we've made this joke...

I'm obviously bored at work.... can you tell?

You Can't Escape It

That's about how I felt at work yesterday >.>

The Miniature Jobs Rant

((Typing this very quickly while at work, I am not checking spelling or grammar so don't bother me with the mistakes I made. Thx.))

In my entire working career, I have never tried to understand the complex workings that make up the job market. In no way are any of them logical in the long run. Like how everyone wants to hire someone with expiriance, but no one will hire anyone without it, so how can anyone get it?

Or all these people who sit on the cell phones at work, ignoring customers to ask their friends about when to hang out... or the people with just plain old shitty attitudes. You know what, lady behind the register, there are so many people out there who would take your job and smile about it, so stop looking like you hate being here and suck it up or quit.

For instance, I got stuck in a job I couldn't stand, but I put on my game face and I promise you none of the customers or co-workers or bosses knew that I spent the whole day planning on what I was going to say to quit. Let someone who will enjoy it here, or who is desperate enough to make it look like they're happy, work here. Let me find somewhere that better suits me.

And don't give me the "I only have this job cause I need it" crap because if you are that much in need of a job you should at least make it look like you enjoy what you do. It's not hard to smile you know. Try it.

And employers who lie or tell half-truths... or leave out information entirely while interviewing and hiring you are fucking stupid. This has happened to me three times, and I quit all three jobs. One, I lasted a few months, 4 to be exact, because the place was connected to my current job and I didn't want to be a bitch so I helped them through busy season and then trained two new people to take my place. The next one I left after 2 weeks of shitty training and the confession that I would barely have any hours. The last, I went for one day, and decided the people and the business just were not for me. One Day.

Maybe if you told your future employees the truth, not so many of them would quit.

Just saying.

And I Believe, This May Call For Proper Introduction

So here's a quick run-down on me and who I am... and my life in general.

I'm 20yrs old. I live with my mom and dad. I have 2 amazing older brothers, a kick-ass sis in law, and an awesome future sis in law. I'm engaged. I have been for 3 years. We've been together for 4 yrs as of Nov 6th 2011. My friends are my life, and I seem to be coming in contact with those I want to keep and losing those I don't need. I enjoy Singing, Dancing, Talking, Reading, Writing, and playing video games. I'm not a skinny-mini. I love to cosplay. I love Anime. Drizzt Do'Urden is my hero. Harry Potter is my life's obsession. I love music, and I listen to a little bit of everything. Uhm... That's about all you need for now I guess.

Now, enough of the boring posts!




~*~ Swear To Shake It Up If You Swear To Listen ~*~

Spoken like a true genius

“Fat” is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her
I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writ...er and earning my living by using my brain…

I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’

‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’

What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!

I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.”
— JK Rowling

Hope is Key

I've always wanted to start a blog. Not to advertise myself or my beliefs, but just to have a place to put my thoughts. So, I've decided to make one. For me. If others... be it my friends or just a random person interested in my ramblings... decide to read, then I thank you.

I decided to name it "Hope is Key" This is due to a quote by my personal hero, Drizzt Do'Urden.

"Hope is Key, the future will be better than the past, or the present."
