A HARRY POTTER OBSESSION.

A few healthy obsessions never hurt anyone, right? ;)

Harry Potter is basically my life. I love the books so much. And the movies were FANTASTIC. I went to the midnight showings for Goblet of Fire - Deathly Hallows pt 2. The first 3 I was too young to see the midnight showing. Actually, the first one came out before I had read the books. Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban came out while I was beginning to read the books. I didn't see the midnight showings for those though :P I wish I had!!! I'm going to miss it a lot, but I reread the books all the time and I watch the movies pretty much every other weekend.

Along with that, I have to do a FOT project where we make a movie. Guess what mine's on? :) HARRY POTTER AND IT'S INSANE GOODNESS! It's pretty cool. I just have to put in the music (HP Theme Song!) and it's completed!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT :) I hope Mr. Mathias likes it... I honestly don't care about my "peers' opinions" because I have like 4 friends in that class. I don't really like anyone else and they don't particularly like me either. :(

I love Malfoy. And Snape. And Bellatrix. And Fudge. And the kind of fudge that isn't Cornelius. ;) Basically I love everyone except the main characters. Hermione is a know-it-all (but growing up I ALWAYS looked up to her <3), Ron was an idiot and extremely tempermental, and Harry was a jerk! He thought everything was about him! He was always like "Voldemort killed my parents." News flash Harry; Voldemort killed LOTS of people :P But I love them all so much. Especially Lupin. And Hagrid. And Sirius... and Molly&Arthur Weasley are the CUTEST COUPLE EVER!!!!! <3

There once was a boy named Harry, destined to be a star. His parents were killed by Voldemort, who gave him a lightening scar... YO HARRY, YOU'RE A WIZARD! :) Jon Cozart: Harry Potter in 99 seconds. LOOK IT UP IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT :O

An Epistolary Work

Here's a little epistolary that I just wrote for Creative Writing. It's not great but it's due in like an hour so I had to write it!!! I was gonna turn in "The Lost Letters" but that's on my school H drive :P I should really bring that home... gr.

Here it is! :) ENJOY! (it's not great so don't be too mean! :P )

Life and Its Difficulties
Dear Diary,
Today is the day that my mommy got this for me. It's April 29, 2003. It's my birthday... so I guess you're my present... gee some present! I don't have good handwriting! I'm 6! Well, now I'm 7... Happy birthday to me. Mommy said I have an “overactive imagination.” So she said to write it all down in this little book. I hope it works because I have a lot of stories in my head!

Love, Parker




Dear Diary,
Well, Mom's present didn't work too well did it? I'm 11 now... I haven't even looked at this little red book since 2003. Sorry about that... I'll try harder.
Okay so I guess you're a diary so I can confide in you, right? There's a boy. His name is Garrett. He's got brown eyes and dirty blond hair... he's really cute. He is the CUTEST guy in the 6th grade! And... I think he likes ME. He keeps shooting me looks in LA... so maybe he wants to ask me to the 6th grade dance... It's coming up!!!! I hope he asks me... but I don't know what Mom will do... she doesn't want me dating until I'm 13. I guess I could lie and say that I was just going as friends... That is, if he even asks me...

Dear Diary,
I'm officially a 7th grader! I'm entering junior high with my best friend, Addie, by boyfriend, Garrett, and a new set of school supplies. I'm excited. Today was my first day and it was FANTASTIC! Junior high is just like elementary school except you go to a different room for each subject. I didn't get lost or anything! I was proud.
I had the CUTEST outfit too! My new pink tiered skirt, white ruffled sleevless blouse, and my Mary-Jane flats. Mom curled my hair (because today was also picture day... surprising) and I looked awesome! Garrett said I was beautiful. Of course, that was AFTER pictures were taken in the morning and I snuck on some makeup in the bathroom... Mom still won't let me wear it! She allowed dating but the no-makeup-till-I'm-14 thing is getting annoying. So, I'm not waiting. Yeah, it means lying, but whatevs.
I have a ton of homework though. That's the one thing I don't like...
~Parker :)




Diary-
LAST DAY OF 8TH GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be in high school!!! Soooo excited!
I am sort of worried though... For one thing, these little dry patches have formed on my cheeks... I used to have acne there and it's not noticable, just uncomfortable... I don't know if I should tell Mom or just let it slide by...
Also, Garrett broke up with me a few weeks ago. And Addie turned into a little bitch. I don't know what happened between us! It's like, when there's other people around, I'm not good enough for her. Puh-lease. She may be thinner, more popular, and have a boyfriend, but I am WAY prettier and not self-centered! And my mom doesn't hate me!
Okay, that was mean. But Addie's mom is always putting Addie down... and I do feel bad about that but maybe Addie is asking for it...
Whatever. Now I'm in a bad mood. I'm gonna go ask mom to drive me to the pool.
C ya, Parker




Journal,
I'm a sophomore now... And I really regret not writing in you more often over these years. I'm taking a creative writing course at the college (because Mom says I still have an “overactive imagination”) and I'm LOVING it. I'm discovering so many new things about myself that I never even realized before.
Like, I love writing poetry.
Oh and when a writer says “the door was blue,” he's apparently saying “I'm depressed and I want to kill myself because of a lost love,” and here all this time I thought the writer was just saying “the door was blue.” Hm. Guess not.
Anyway, I got a new journal. One specifically for my “imagination.” But I'll try harder to write in here every once in a while. I promise.
I never meant to neglect you. I really didn't. And if I keep doing it in the future, it's not your fault. I'm a busy girl. Can't help it!

-Parker




Dear Diary,
This will be the last time I write in you. I know I've barely filled you're pages but it has to be this way.
I graduate from high school tomorrow. I'm scared, Diary. I don't know what's next for me... I mean, I know I'm going to NYU with an English major but then what? Marriage? Kids?
I haven't told you, but since the end of sophomore year I've been dating a guy named Blake. He's wonderful and sweet and nice and perfect. I think I'm in love with him... No. I AM in love with him. I'm going to call him right now and tell him... Be right back...
I just hung up with Blake. He... said he loved me too! I can't stop smiling and now I really can't wait to see him tomorrow! He's our class valedictorian (I was actually 3rd in my class. Some boy named Matt Shaefer was second) and I couldn't be prouder of him! When he found out he spent WEEKS on his speech. I've heard it. It's amazing.
Well, that's all I guess. Tomorrow a high school graduate. The next day, who knows?

Love, and always,
Parker <3

110 POSTS!!!!!

I missed post #100 because I actually updated from my iPad for that one so I had to wait for another interval number! So let's celebrate!

HAPPY 110TH POST!!!!!! :D

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, and Pandora. I love love LOVE Pandora Radio!!!!!! I have a bunch of stations and they are all so great! :D

I am working on RR now. I know it's been a while but I have 78 pages down. It's going to be at least 100 pages. I promise!!! And if it's an actual book then it'll be a lot more than 100 pages. It'll seem a lot longer at least.... The pages in a book are shorter than the pages on OpenOffice. :P

So has anyone checked out macbarbie07 yet???? I keep trying to contact her on twitter but unfortunately I can't send her a direct message unless she's following me too :\ So I keep trying to be on while she's online so she sees my message popup. It's kind of hard though because I don't know where she lives so I don't know if she's even in the same time zone as me! :P Whatever. Check her out!!!! :D She just updated a new video about perfume :)

That's all I guess. I have to go eat dinner ;)

CHECK OUT MACBARBIE07 & www.daydreamfantasy.blogspot.com !!!!!! :D

The Kite Runner

This book is absolutely amazing. Khaled Hosseini is quite the story teller. "The Kite Runner" is about two friends, Amir and Hassan, who are separated when war comes to their country. A lot more happens but to tell you the main plot of the story would be to give away some crucial information so you're just gonna have to read it yourself!!!

I was seriously moved by this book. Not because I'm from Afghanistan (because I'm not) or because I was forced to leave my country because of terrorists (because I still live in USA). I was moved by the love and passion the characters have for each other. Amir loves his father and Hassan and Sohrab and all the other people in his life. It touched me. It also made me realize how lucky I am to have a family who loves me and have food on my table and a roof over my head. I'm serious. I'm never taking anything for granted ever again.

Read this book it changed me.

It is very sad though. But completely worth it. It's sad because it's so real.

It is history.

"For you, a thousand times over." Hassan

On the Search for COLLEGE :)

Ok so I recently took the PSAT (I didn't do fabulously but I did alright) and I put my email into the computer to send me colleges that might have my major or that I might like. I've gotten about 15... They're all on the east coast (which is good) abs most of then are from either PA or VA. I got some from MD and NY and even one from CN. They're from all over and even into New England! And they all have a good creative writing program. It's kind of overwhelming to get them all. My top 3 are:
1) NYU
2) Roanoke
3) Rutgers
I also like Stony Brook (but only because it has a train on campus that can take me right into NYC...it's on Long Island).

So I thought I'd share this exciting news with you guys.

New Things!

Hey everybody! I know my last few updates haven't been too long but this one will definitely be long...well longish!

I have a few new obsessions that I'd like to share with you guys but the first thing I want to say is yes, I am still writing and I'm pretty much finished with RR but the big news is I've started a little sequel to RR! it's called "the lost letters" and it's a bunch of the letters/postcards that Cassie sends over her year "abroad" (I guess it would be abroad...) with Logan. The letters explain what happens between leaving the palace and the end of the book (I started typing what happens at the end of the story but don't worry I won't spoil it for you!!!!). I will hopefully be posting the letters for you guys to read.

Okay so now for my new obsessions.

It's winter time and where I love, the weather is brutal! This week has been crazy. Monday and Tuesday were like 55 degrees F outside and then Wednesday-Sunday (today) it's been windy and below freezing! Mother nature must be PMSing or something ;) so my obsession has been sweaters!
I'm not even joking I have at least 12 different sweaters in my closet that I wear alllll the time! I have blue, purple, brown&black stripes, gray, green, pretty much every color! :) they're so warm and fuzzy and I definitely recommend them to those of you in chillier areas like me because not only to they keep you warm, but with some skinny jeans and boots and fun accessories they are super cute and very retro. My mom told me that when she was my age (a million years ago in the 80's..haha) she would wear a big sweater, leggings or jeggings, and combat boots to school all the time! So the 80's are coming back!!! :D I personally don't own combat boots but I have a friend Katie who owns some and they are ADORABLE! :)

Okay as for my second obsession, and it's a bit strange, is my snuggie. Don't laugh, but I am seriously in love with my snuggie! I actually have two. I got one from my mom-mom for Hanukkah and one from my grandma for Christmas :) the one from mom-mom is hot pink and says "I love Lucy" all over it with lipstick print :) the one from grandma is the orioles because I love watching baseball and football and sports like that. I hate playing sports but I get really into football :))) my snuggies are so warm and fuzzy and sometimes I just use that as my blanket on my bed. Like if in watching a movie and I fall asleep with just my snuggie I'm totally fine :)

Okay my last obsession is this girl named Bethany Noel. She's a YouTube vlogger under the username "macbarbie07" and of you have heard of her then you understand why shes so great. My friend showed me a few of her videos and I think she's really great :) she gives great fashion tips and makeup&hair tutorials and she just seems like an all around nice person ;) she's 15, like me, and she's so pretty! Her videos are really great and go and check out her videos ASAP ;)

Oh, and one more thing; Kelly Clarkson. She's my hero. Her voice is so full and beautiful and her songs send really amazing messages. I personally love "What Doesn't Kill You (stronger)" on her latest album! Check it out!!!

Okay well I have midterms next week so today and tomorrow (no school!!!!!!!!!) I am studying studying studying for math, bio, and English. I actually don't take a midterm in APwh because of all the county tests we take so that's good :)

So now off to do my laundry...hurray...

Bad News

Travis and I broke up last night.

Well, he did the actual breaking up part... I just sort of sat there and listened to it happen.

Yeah.

I don't really have much input on it... Basically I have no idea why he did. I imagine I did something without meaning to... But I wish he'd told me why...

This Is My Post Title

I love music.
It's my escape.
It makes me feel better.
Kelly Clarkson has saved me.
I love show tunes (especially bye bye birdie).

Anything you can do I can do better:)

HTML codes are cool

So today in FOT we learned how to write HTML codes. This will sound insanely nerdy, but it's so much fun!!!!! I'm gonna teach myself how to make it look like a real website. That way I will be able to put my stories there (where I have more room) then here (not a lot of room).

That's all

I'm depressed. Not clinically, but really depressed. I haven't been sleeping well. Basically crying myself to sleep every night. During the day I am numb. Not really feeling anything. There's occasional happiness though. Seeing Travis brightens everything up. And I have great friends. And on B days I have gym. Working out releases endorphins. :)

That is all
