It Feels Like December (BEDA Day 15)

...Though that's probably just mind trickery.

It's actually the middle of August, months away from December. But I keep feeling like it's near Christmas. Why?

It's cloudy.

Yeah, I don't know.

In other news, I've spent the last hour or so creating Wizard Rock playlists for Taylor. We are slowly trying to convince our parents to bring us to the NYC Wizard Rock Festival, and I want her to be prepared. I've not only put songs by the bands that are playing there, but songs that she needs to know.

Here are the songs that I think she definitely needs to know:

1. In Which Draco and Harry Secretly Want to Make Out - The Whomping Willows
2. Teenage Werewolf - The Remus Lupins
3. And Then I Died - The Moaning Myrtles
4. Potions Yesterday - Draco and the Malfoys
5. Freaking Ask Me to the Yule Ball - The Parselmouths
6. Dumbledore is Gay (And That's Ok) - Justin Finch-Fletchley and the Sugar Quills
7. Save Ginny Weasley - Harry and the Potters
8. What Kind of Name is Hermione? - The Parselmouths
9. Goodbye Privet Drive - Ministry of Magic
10. Snape vs. Snape - Ministry of Magic

I really have nothing else to report on, so I've decided to include some content that I've found in my unpublished posts. I am not going to change them at all. You'll notice that I'll often just stop in the middle of a sentence. Here you go.

Calling People Disgusting is Fun*

Well, it's my last week of 7th grade. You would expect everything to be winding down and becoming lighthearted and carefree.

Sigh.

Our class hamster, Snowball, died of what we think was Wet Tail on Tuesday. We had a funeral for him this morning


Today was weird, and I should be blogging about other things but I'm not**

See title.

Yeah. I have so many more things to blog and/or vlog about, but instead, I'm going to tell you about my day.

Yesterday ended with intense disappointment for me. I was really hoping to go to the Roflcoptour show in Poughkeepsie. But my dad won't take me because it's too far away* and we have people coming over for dinner. Blah. My mom would, but she also thinks that it is a little too far away. Also, she would totally take me, but she's already taking off of work the two weeks following the show, because we're going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. So... No show for me. Sigh. We can't even go to the show on the day before it, even though it will probably be closer, because my mom can't get off work. Sadface.**

Forward to today. I haven't really felt like eating much the past couple days, but I ate two bowls of cereal this morning anyway. But that's pretty much all that I ate today. I spent a good portion of the morning up to about half past noon analyzing the Deathly Hallows trailer. This was done with the help of Muggle Cast, even though I have never listened to Muggle Cast before.*** However, I really liked their discussion, and it helped me appreciate the trailer more.

My mom is taking me book shopping in about 3 hours

*Okay, so, it's only 2 hours and 37 minutes away (according to Google maps).
**I just had an idea. Maybe if that show is at a late-ish time, I might be able to go. If it's at, like, 6 or 7, and it's in PA or NJ, I might be able to get my mom to take me. Update later.
***I personally prefer Potter Cast.


I should never give myself a deadline ever again. EVER.***

I just read through some of my old posts, and discovered that I had planned to start vlogging on/around June 1. Naturally, that didn't happen.

I also said that the school year was winding down. I inadvertently lied. My math teacher just STARTED A NEW CHAPTER with us, even though we only have TEN DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT.

Because my previous deadline did not work out, I am going to give myself another, less serious deadline for the same project. Sometime after I finish school, I'll start. Definitely before July, or else the 60 video thing will not work out.

In slightly more exciting news, I might be getting a guinea pig this summer. At first, I thought that this would be a very easy thing. We have a class guinea pig, Adora, and she isn't that hard to take care of. But I was wrong. Guinea pigs are very complex creatures.

I have to really think about whether or not I'm too lazy to take care of another creature. And, like, I need to learn how to take care of guinea pigs specifically. But I've also been thinking about names for him/her. It'll probably be a Harry Potter name, most likely pretty obscure.

If I get a male black guinea pig, I'm naming it Sev.

*The post itself is not that exciting, but I'm very curious as to what I was alluding to in that title.
**I'm glad that this all worked out in the end.
***Y'know, I don't know why I stopped writing this. That would've been a pretty good post. It also shows how I would totally name a guinea pig after Snape. Hmmmm.
