Is it really Ever Over?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 came out yesterday so I'm going to post a bunch of funny/cool or amusing HP stuff I've found online. Mainly on Pintrest.com. The best website I've found in a while to just waste time on or find cool crafts and suchings. HP fans are so creative.













Favorite scene EVER



I got my first Harry Potter book as a Hannukah present and didn't read it right away. I then got over that and read it and have been hooked ever since. I then refused to watch the movies because I thought they would ruin the books. Things changed but I learned how to take the movie as a movie and the books as awesomeness. I have been to two midnight releases and gotten the books on the first day of release from Prizoner of Azkaban on. I love how the series has gotten kids and adults to start reading again and bring sci-fi and fantasy back to somewhat mainstream. Harry Potter is just good writing, and a good story. And I'm sad that's over. But when something is this beloved is it really ever over?

This is what this blog is about....partly.



I love the website Pintrest. They have the most crafty and just creative things on there! A lot of pictures are gonna be from pintrest most likely. But I think this is awesome.


I got really excited when I saw this. Must make this winter when there's enough snow!

And these are some other pictures I found that I squee about:

When this scene happened in the New Girl I freaked and squeed. (I'm a girl can you tell?).

Graphics like this one makes me believe that not every girl thinks Bella is awesome.


This is just funny.

Who doesn't love Joss? Seriously?

MIND FREAKING BLOWN. Didn't even realize.

As you can tell I'm still trying to find my voice for this blog. But you know what? It's my blog. and If I'm all over the place, isn't that my choice? Besides, being able to post these graphics/pictures and having other people like the same things or even just smile at something I post, that's what I started this for. That's what I'm trying to give myself an outlet for.

So many books, so little time

So tonight I went to a book store. Never a good idea. Actually it's always a good idea. Just not for my wallet. I went for a specific book but decided that book was just a little overwhelming. So while waiting for my mom I started browsing. This is where the trouble starts.
I love information. I collect books even if I don't read them for years I love having them. So when I see something about a topic that intrests me I want to learn as much as I can about it. Such as the Romanovs, the British monarchy from Victorian times and before, and interesting people. So in the biography section(which is right next to the world history section) when I see a book on Charles Dickens and one about Cleopatra and one about a girl who had little relationship with her father then at 81 he hands her a stack of letters he wrote to his parents while he was fighting in WWII my brain says want! My wallet says um...eh what the hell.
Did I get those? Nope. The only one I seriously contemplated was the WWII letter one but decided that it wouldn't be the best idea. So I picked up Ronald Dahl's bio (he wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm curious to see what was going on in that brain of his), a biography of a prision librarian (a profession I contemplated/am contemplating....the librarian part, not the prison part....although.....) and a book explaining what aspects of Harry Potter coinside with real British history. Comparing Hogwarts to British boarding schools. I saw that and got really excited(geek out anyone?) It's just like....I need this. My brain needs this information. I can't wait to read them!

Also, Grimm starts tonight. Can't wait.
