Wow, we're at the end of another year. It's just amazing what happened this year. I feel like I accomplished so much this year. Even though there were some crappy moments it was an overall good year.
January - March
This was probably the worst part of the year for me. I wasn't allowed to go to my 9th grade formal or see Mika in concert all because I had a C in English. I read in the Philly Citypaper the review for Mika's show which was described as his best in the States. I just wanted to kick myself in the head. We had snow like crazy. It was extremely cold...
I've been having many heated discussions with my friends Shalayna and Grace about Harry Potter vs. Twilight. Shalayna says,"You can't compare the two", and Grace says,"They're completely different." But it got me thinking: Why do so many Harry Potter and Twilight fans compare the two books? And is one really better than the other?
Ever since the start of literature, people have been comparing books. Maybe we're just naturally judgmental? The great Harry Potter vs. Twilight debate started, in my opinion, with The Chronicles of Narnia. When the Chronicles of Narnia came...
So I've been a huge, HUGE, huge Harry Potter since I was twelve. Before that I was a huge Series of Unfortuante Events fan. Now I feel like I'm becoming a huge Twilight fan. But it's making me feel guilty. I feel as if I'm betraying J.K. Rowling even though I know it sounds ridiculous. I've only read Twilight so far and I really liked it. Not better than Harry Potter though. But now the movie is coming out and I feel myself getting really hype over it. I don't want to turn my back on Harry because I truly do love those books. It just gets harder to continue to be a Harry Potter fan since the...
I joined the ranks back in April. I was just a kid then. A noob, is what some would say. Everything was calm at first but after a few months it got rough. When I joined, we had videos, forums, comments, images, links, and soapboxes. Nothing too fancy. But once the picks came in, it was hell. Users swooped in left and right making picks that were random and completely off topic. I didn't know what to do. It was happening so fast. I got scared so I ran. I was a nobody so no one noticed when I left. I started training so that I could come back and I would be ready.
This was a paper I wrote for english class. It's pretty similar to my other Harry Potter soapbox. We had to write about an event that had an impact on our life. Tell me what you think
p.s. i got a 98% on this paper!

When I was a young girl, I was taken on a magical journey full of whimsy and wonder. I hung out with giants, chilled with werewolves, and partied with goblins. I went to classes at an enchanted castle and learned everything I needed to know to become a wizard. But none of this actually happened to me; it...
