29: Proper Potter Premiere Protocol

Instead of searching for 30 more random facts about Harry Potter and running the risk of repeating myself, I will dole out some decent Harry Potter Wisdom every other day (except the last day of course) So, here is today's:

If you are planning to attend a midnight screening of Harry Potter, here is the first thing you should do:

1. For one, you should get a big group of friends to see it with you, there is strength in numbers, and you have to sit in line for a LONG time, why not do it with some friends?

#2 will come on the 27th, respectively. Stay tuned! Props to Mary Purnell for the picture

Although the series focuses on Hogwarts, there are other wizarding schools throughout the world, according to Rowling. Obviously, you have Beauxbaton and Durmstrang, but Rowling also mentions at least one school in Brazil and one in the United States (reppin') called "Salem Witches Institute" Not as cool as going to Hogwarts I presume, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. And all the Americans who are reading this, just had their minds blown. (information for this was found here)

Coming Tomorrow

That's right kiddies, its that time of year again when I berate you with endless facts and figures about the Harry Potter series for the month leading up to it. It will be thrilling, mind blowing, interesting, fun, scary, sad, and maybe a little sassy...If you followed my blog last time during Harry Potter Palooza, it's going to be a little different this time around. For one, I'm fairly certain I don't have 30 more facts on the books to dole out, so this time facts will be about the movies too, as well as my PERSONAL advice about how to do a Potter Premier Properly (believe me I've had plenty of experience in the subject). So if you're as excited as I am for the next 4 weeks of blogging fun, read again tomorrow for #3o!

My Journey to the End

As anyone who has met me should and does know, I am an avid Harry Potter fan. Being such a fan, I am attending the midnight premiere of the movie when it comes out. I had it all arranged, the people the place the food the time, until I was thrown a curveball, the day after tickets went on sale, telling me that the movie was already in fact, sold out in Annapolis.
The day after Tickets went on sale
It was sold out
I had no ticket.
Panicking, I went on near maniacal rage trying to find a nearby theatre that would suffice and where I was least likely to get shot. Once I found it, I called in the troops and they all agreed to come with me, except I bought an extra ticket and have to find one more troop to take it. Just as I was beginning to calm down I read an article that said all movie theaters have not begun to sell tickets yet. This could mean that the Annapolis Movie Theater isn't sold out yet and I panicked and jumped the gun.
Flup. My. Life.
Only Time will tell how this turns out, however, and if Annapolis does in fact begin to sell tickets soon. Well...I'll figure out something...
This movie better be worth it

SUMMERSUMMERSUMMERSUMMER

except not like that ^ summer

Yes we all love summer, but it is not, in the words of a certain friend of mine "endlesssummerofnoregrets". it will not be endless. It will be approximately 3 months give or take, and I'm sure many of you will have regrets. But before I lose any readers due to my lack of summer enthusiasm, I'd like to point out that I do in fact enjoy summer. And as an added bonus to my legions of followers, I will be blogging more about less important things. My trip to England and general thoughts about life will make it into the blogosphere. Most importantly, as the newest and FINAL HARRY POTTER movie comes out, I will bring back my most popular blogs, the countdown to Harry Potter, quotes and random facts and all (if I run out, there may be something else about HP to look forward to) and to anyone who is wondering. NO I am not a freak. So, get ready for summer everyone! It's going to be...fun???

Free....? Dress Down Days???

This post is kind of my-life-specific, so if you can relate to it then great, but if you can't - well, you might just learn something new. I go to a private high school which, needless to say, requires uniforms. I've been wearing uniforms to school my entire life and am pretty much used to it, but there's one problem with a monotonous school dress code that bothers me so flupping much - Free Dress Days.

Before you can say "yayyyyy let's go shoppinggggggg" You have to realize what this entails. Everyone at your school who normally doesn't notice what you're wearing is now going to notice what you're wearing, and, if you're a paranoid high school girl, judge you harshly on your choices. In order to succeed at Free Dress Day, you have to know about the day at least two days in advance, that way you can rummage through your teeny tiny closet and find something halfway decent to wear. You will, of course, change your mind five times and wear every single outfit you own at least twice (remember, you don't own many clothes that aren't khaki skorts, white polos, and plaid skirts). After the outfit is semi-decided and your closet is semi-on-the-ground, it's time for you to ask your friends what they're wearing.

You: "hey what r u wearin 2morrow?"

Friend: "haha idk something"

You: "..."

The conversation will continue along this pattern with lots of unnecessary laughing and emoticons, with you ultimately finding out nothing about what they are wearing to school. When Friday finally comes, you wake up early, fix your hair extra special, apply an extra coat of massacara (because you get to wear your OWN clothes) and hop out the door, immediately realizing you shouldn't wear flip-flops to school. Ever.

When you FINALLY arrive at school, all your friends are wearing t-shirts and gym shorts, and you look like your trying too hard to look good and wish you had in fact changed out of the flip-flops you were debating over earlier. Oh and the school charges you a dollar. To wear your own clothes.

Let's just go back to the uniforms please...
