Lately, again.

So. Harry Potter 7. Who hasn't seen it yet?

I went to the movies this past Saturday armed with a warm hoodie and a bucket of excessive popcorn, ready to enjoy Part 1 of Harry, Hermione, and Ron's last adventure together. And what an adventure it was.

The film starts off on a very saddening note; Hermione erases her existence from her parents' memory. I'm not going to talk more about the beginning or anything in the storyline. But I will say that Hermione really stole the show. Emma Watson's acting was simply awesome. When Hermione was sad, I was sad. When she was frustrated with Ron, so was I. My personal favorite part of the movie was the Camping Follies of Harry and Hermione (Sans Ron).

Much like my wizarding heroes, I'll be turning 17 this upcoming Sunday. I don't know what to really expect; life is probably going to go on per usual. But 16 is such a comfortable age. Iconic, even. I'm the second-youngest in my school's senior class, and typically have been among the younger ones. Youth is something I'm kind of used to. However, I'm not getting any younger. I've hit a rut, that feeling in which you no longer feel jittery the night before your birthday. I've even forgotten my own birthday a few times this month. What is most likely going to happen is that a few close friends will come over to the house. We'll sit around, talk, eat. Perhaps go outside, if it isn't bitterly cold.

I don't know, guys. I just don't know.

Because it is Pointless

I thought it would be nice for you, fair reader, to get to know a little more about me. :I So here you go.

• I come home and listen to "One Jump Ahead" and "A Whole New World" from Aladdin every day.
• I really like ginger ale an cranberry juice. Separately, though.
• I plan on majoring in Creative Writing next year in college. No, I don't enjoy eating and having a place to live.
• I have a (mostly) decent sense of morals. Is that the right word? For example, I pick up trash in-passing at school just because it bothers me, and I can't even lie in a game of BS.
• The movie Mulan has been ruined for me. It's a long story.

I'll put more later. Sorry for the loser blog post..I've been very busy with school an Nanowrimo and and and...I'm just giving more excuses at this point.

Curiosity

I apologize in advance for the tiny update. But then again, it's my blog, and should I be able to update with whatever I want to?

Anyhow.

I think that people are just naturally curious. Get a taste of something and you want a plate full, right? But sometimes you could go on not knowing things, or would choose to not know things, or what ever. People like to learn. Maybe I'll go so far as to say we have a desire for knowledge (what you classify as "knowledge" may vary) and, in some cases, would do whatever it takes to attain said knowledge.

Okay, so probably not whatever it takes, but if we have the ability to find something out about whatever, we use it. Sometimes not the best idea.

I don't know. This is something I kind of dwell on--the past--even thought everyone says "the past is the past" and all of that. I know I shouldn't worry about what has already happened. It's incredibly "teenage girl" of me to do so. But a friend told me this once: "If history is doomed to repeat itself, what does that make us?"

Best way to sum up how I'm feeling? FSfklghnaods;ifhnvjv.

Today I realised how childish and unbecoming holding a grudge can be. Does one think that holding onto something so ugly will make someone else "get what they deserve"? Maybe so. Or perhaps you're just impeding your own personal growth and wasting time.

That's all.
