Happy Thanksgiving! 2010

Well, I am a few days late on posting this, but when am I ever on time? Thanksgiving was good, until Sarah had to go and ruin it. Mom had made noodles and used the broth from chicken soup and a can of Cream of Chicken. Well, Mom had asked Sarah how it was, and Sarah basically said that it sucked and that she (mom) should stick to the usual way of making noodles. And then, several minutes later, when a song from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra came on, Sarah asked me if I remember blah, blah, blah, and I was like, “Yes, Sarah! I know!” Then she left the front room to go to her room. Every single time that song comes on, she always has to ask me the same question. It is really annoying. It is just as bad as dad telling me the same story or something every week. I know, people! Leave me alone! Whenever someone says something to me that I heard a million times before, I tell them that I know in an irritated voice because 1) I am irritated for being for a million and two times and 2) I know! It is so annoying.

We watched A Christmas Carol. The version with Jim Carrey. It reminds me of the black and white version from 1951. That is my favorite one. I have seen a few versions of A Christmas Carol and the 1951 version is by far the best. For dinner, I had turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, noodles, and deviled eggs. Later, I had a slice of ice cream cake, cucumbers, carrots, ranch, strawberries, and grapes. And that does not include what I drank (which was only a few cans of Sierra Mist). Other than all of the food and watching a movie and Sarah being a brat, it was a decent Thanksgiving.

Also, the Christmas lights in the house were on. There were the lights on: the tree, two of the windows, the two hanging from the ceiling, and the one in my room. When I got up, I watched Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. At one point, when it went on a commercial break, I went into my room and took the three foot Christmas tree out of my closet. I took it out to the front room and turned the lights on. One by one, between nine and eleven-thirty, Dad, Mom, and Sarah woke up. When I got home last night (Sunday), I saw that the lights in the window that has the air conditioner was on.

On Saturday, we got a puppy. Her name is Indie. She is Sarah’s dog. She is only about six weeks old. She is cute and very playful. She tries to play with our other dog, Peyton, but he keeps on getting away from her. The only time when they will be near each other is when one or both of them are asleep.

After today, I only have seven more days of school. I am so excited to go on break. A well-deserved break nonetheless. A four week well-deserved break, that is.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

Yay!! It is that time of the year! No, I am not talking about Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year’s (although I shall make a post after each holiday). What I am talking about is something that I have been waiting for for over a year. It is – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1!! Monday, I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Tuesday, I watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Wednesday, I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Right now, I am watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I always watch all of the movies in order the week that the latest movie comes out. Next year, the seven days before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes out, I am going to watch all seven movies in order before we go see the movie. Hopefully I can force myself to watch one movie per day rather than watching two or three of them a day. Then that would mean that I am going to be bored for the rest of the week.

Tomorrow, I pray to the good Lord that I can see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 with my parents and sister. We always see the movies together. Unfortunately, mom has to work Saturday and Sunday so we have to see it tomorrow. Dad says that if the line at the theater extends to, say, a mile, we are not going to go see it. It totally sucks because we always see the latest movie the weekend it comes out. I do not want to wait a week before the four of us can see the movie.

For the past few days, when I have been watching clips of interviews that the actors and actresses give and they mention that there is only one more movie, one more trip down the Red Carpet, and other things, I sit there, and I want to cry. I have grown up reading and watching Harry Potter. I guess that you can say that it my life. I have been looking forward to it, like, every year. Whether it is a book or a movie.

Also, I have been skimming information on some of the characters from the books. An example would be that, not even ten minutes ago, I read information on Draco Malfoy. I am so in love with Tom Felton who plays Draco. AAAHHH!!! There he is! I think I am going to faint over my love for him. Tee hee hee. Oh, no! The Death Eaters have just infiltrated Hogwarts!

I do not know what I am going to do with my life after the second part comes out. I am not going to have anything to look forward to to read or to watch. Okay! Back to the movies!

I hope to God that both parts are going to be almost exactly like the book. I also hope that they include a lot of parts from Severus Snape’s past. I am really looking forward to both parts. And obviously I am going to cry like a baby when I see both parts. I cried a million times while I was reading the seventh book so I know that I am going to cry a million times during both movies.

God bless God for tissues!!

Now on to the countdown!
