Wanting to be popular sucks especially if you were in elementary school

It's 2011! Happy new year blog readers!

Let's kick off my first post of the year with a story/rant thing! Let's go!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone was release in the UK in 4 November 2001 and released in the US in 16 November 2001. It was about a boy named Harry who discovered that he was a wizard. Then he goes to this magical school called Hogwarts and finds out that Voldemort wants to kill him. And I think we all know this story. I had no idea when I was little that my love for this series would grow in to this big thing. The idea of magic and mythical creatures blew away my head. 10 years later, I'm still amazed. That scene on privet drive-I had no idea that that was the beginning of what helped to form what I have become today. I wonder what would have happened if my parents never took their daughter to see that film. What would happen if I never say Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

Let me tell you a little story. It was 2005-2006-ish, my mom just bought the DVD for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I saw the last 3 films and I clearly remember seeing Prisoner of Azkaban and my sister fell asleep right beside me. So being a fan, I told my mom that I would watch it. Fast forward to school. 5 years ago, I remember having a few friends and this girl would bully me because I would do all my homework and I was in advanced classes. I was talking about Harry Potter with this girl and the bully, we'll call her, Klash(?), came up to us and said "you know, if you want to be cool when you get older, you have to stop watching those boring shitty movies. Now, Micah, see, this is why, (we'll call this girl Shemster) Shmester is your only friend." OK, hold on for a second. Who in the right mind would teach a me how to say shitty or any curse word for that matter? She also bragged about how cool she is because she watches MTV, reality check, Klash, that DOESN'T make you cool! Any way she kept telling me that and then it somehow dug into my brain that the only way you can make friends is to watch MTV and not watch long movies and not to read books. I still secretly loved it though. Which I look back on now and realize how stupid that is. You know what? Klash, you owe an elementary life where I dressed around in robes and used my pencil as a wand yelling "EXPELLIARMUS!" I will never forgive you.

So I avoided Harry Potter movies because she says they're for losers who don't have friends. I spent my time watching Laguna Beach and The Hills. /facepalm. Then when my school did this dress up like a character from a book day thing, I dressed up as Hermione and she was like "really? what is wrong with you? This is why you'll never get a boyfriend" YOU ARE YOUNG AND YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND? WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? For some reason it made me upset and I took off my Hermione costume and went as Junie B. Jones instead.

Then 2 years later, there was this dude who was a big Harry Potter fan and he checked out Goblet of Fire from the school library. With Klashley sitting next to me, I had to pretend like I didn't care about the book, I even said "Hermione's not blonde! Who is that girl?" I knew that wasn't Hermione. It was Fleur Delacour. Later that year, I got bullied so bad that nobody even talked to me. Like NOBODY. Everybody was so scared that if they talk to me, they'll be a "loser" too. YOU KNOW WHAT? BEING A "LOSER" WAS WAY MORE FUN THAN BEING A SELF CONCEITED BITCH WITH AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO HUMILIATE PEOPLE SMARTER THAN YOU AND BE ON MY SUPER SWEET 16!

So in 2009, Half-Blood Prince came out and I saw it. My sisters didn't want to, but I made them. Then I remembered how much I loved it! The magic. it was like I was a little girl again. Not having seen the past 2, I was lost. But I went home and watched Goblet of Fire before that. I got a Barnes & Noble gift card for my birthday that year so I got a Harry Potter picture book, Deathly Hallows and Order of the Phoenix. My mom bought Half-Blood Prince when it just came out. The book. In 2005. Then I went on youtube and found Chamber of Secrets on there and watched the entire thing. Then my mom found a copy of Sorcerer's Stone in a garage sale and I watched it immediately! I also bought a Ron Weasley shirt from Hot Topic right after I saw the movie because I have a massive crush on Rupert Grint. Then I went to target and bought Order of the Phoenix on DVD. I watched it religiously when I got home from school. The same thing with Goblet of Fire and Sorcerer's Stone. Then I watched the 2nd and 3rd one during ABC Family's Harry Potter weekend marathon. I love ABC Family for doing that. And fast forward to today. I read all 7 books, at least 7 times each, know all of the movies by heart (except DH), seen Deathly Hallows opening day, been to the Harry Potter theme park, tried butterbeer, bought a wand, bought a scraf, explored through Hogwarts, met amazing people, joined the fandom, have an extensive knowledge on the entire Potterverse, known as "The Harry Potter girl" in school, and will be crying when Deathly Hallows part 2 comes out in July 15. It also got me into reading more and more books, writing, it boosted up my self-esteem levels, I don't care what anybody thinks about me, and most of all, it made me meet my best friend, Beth (actually her name is Jazmin, but it's sort of an inside joke about a fan fiction). I am very deep into the fandom that I feel like I've been in it my whole entire life.

I honestly did not think that this one series could impact my life so much. Even though it doesn't seem like it does by this post. If you know me IRL, then you would see. Oh and did I mention that I used to be a Twitard due to peer pressure. NOT GOOD.

SCHOOL

I never did a back-to-school post. Here it is.

I never really enjoyed school. Mainly because I'm lazy. Just because I'm lazy, that doesn't mean i don't get good grades. I do actually. I just don't like the fact that since I attend a public school, we have to wear a uniform. I just miss back-to-school clothes shopping. Oh well, i guess i'll just have to wait until I graduated.

My Classes:
I like my schedule this year.
1A-Science
2A-World Cultures/History
3-Spanish
4A-Health/PE
1B- Chorus
2B- English/Language Arts
4B- Math

OK I suck at Math. I'm happy cuz its on 4th period because it's the shortest since it's the last class of the day. And my locker is near the library :D My science/homeroom class is crazy. NOT KIDDING. We got kinds throwing stuff at each other. One guy named justin almost hit me with a chair. (:/) It has people I like. a girl I hate, because she's so annoying and a few people I really don't mind. I don't like the class itself because I'm not good at science. My History class is fun. It has awesome, crazy people in it and my teacher is hilarious. Spanish had always been one of my favorite subjects. I don't know why, Maybe all that time watching Dora:the Explorer as a little kid finally payed off. My friend Royce & Jazmin is in that class. YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Oh and I also like that class because it's lunch period. :P I'm starting to like Health/PE. I learned that i'm good at writing long essays and I am good at soccer. CHORUS=FUNNEST SUBJECT EVER!!! I just love it. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved to sing. (maybe that's why I love Broadway and one of my favorite TV shows is Glee). It has awesome people in it. My friends Claire, Solape, Cathlin & Charnae are in it. :D English class is awesome. I love the books we read. I had the same teacher I had last year. i can't wait to read Shakespeare!! (NERD ALERT)

Yah that's basically my reaction this past month and a half. Maybe it will change by the next post. I might do a BEDA or VEDA sometime in the future so keep an eye out for that :D
Until next time,
xoxo,

Guilty Pleasure TV Shows

Hello. It's been a while since I posted huh?
Well I have a tumblr blog under this same name and if you want to hear more from me, then follow me there :D
Ok, on to the point of this blog post!

WARNING THIS INCLUDES MY OPINIONS AND SOME MILD PROFANITY. IF YOU AT ALL FINDS THIS OFFENSIVE BECAUSE YOU LOVE THESE SHOWS. DON'T BOTHER COMMENTING. PLEASE. JUST DON'T.

So there are a lot of TV shows out there that we are not proud to watch. We don't tell our friends because they'll make fun of us (in my case no). Most of these guilty pleasure TV shows are basically any reality show that when we watch, we feel like losing brain cells. Then there are those shows that you don't know is a guilty pleasure. For example, you love it and you tell all your friends and they tell you its lame and stupid. Then you feel all sad and continue watching it but don't confide them. Also there are TV shows that your parents tell you not to watch but secretly watch them and have a conversation about it with your friends in school the next day.

Well, for me, I have all three listed above^^

So here is my list of guilty pleasure TV Shows (#1&3)
-Jersey Shore
I'm not proud to watch this show. It's like a drug. You know it's bad for you, but it's so addicting. All my friends watch it and they'll always talk about Snooki and how she's hilarious. JWOWW and how BAMF and HBIC she is. Sammi and how she's being a bitch at times. Ronni and how he's a douche. Vinny, Pauly D and the Situation were hitting the clubs and how NOBODY likes Angelina. I think their obsession has gone too far to my friend Royce dressing up as Snooki and my sister Thea dressing up as JWOWW for Halloween. We even have like nicknames for each other . Well we call each other people from the show to who we are most like.
Royce- Snooki
Thea- JWOWW
RJ- Vinny
Addie- Pauly D
Bryan- The Situation
Tina- Angelina(?)
Me- Sammi
That's right, I'm the sweetest bitch you'll ever meet. LOL JK. I can be one at times but most of the time I'm sweet...if you don't piss me off :p And I'm not the type of person who would ever forgive a guy like Ronni.

-Pretty Wild
Yes, that reality show on E! abut those 3 girls whose mom used to be lingerie model. I know. I know. I'm ashamed.

-Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Self explainable

-Chelsea Lately
Again, self explainable

That's it I guess. Oh god, I hope my mom doesn't find this. She's gonna kill me.

Category #2:

-Gossip Girl
My love for this show is unexplainable. My friends make fun of me because (my friend said this) and I quote "it's all about snobby rich people acting like bitches to make their way in to the Upper East Side...and they dress nice too. What kind of guy owns that many suits...except Barney Stinson (from How I Met Your Mother)" But whatever. I LOVE THIS SHOW. IT'S AMAZING. Their fashion senses are the best I've seen. Everybody on that show is gorgeous (Little J is an exception when her eye make up didn't make her look like a raccoon). And I have huge crushes on Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford and Penn Badgely.

-90210
Same thing I said for Gossip Girl. Yeah I have a crush on Matt Lanter as well.

-Basically anything on the CW.
I watch everything on their prime time. I get made fun of. Even for watching The Vampire Diaries. But I embrace my Supernatural obsession like I embrace my Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Buffy & Charmed obsessions...PROUDLY!

-iCarly
Yes, even iCarly. I like it. it's funny. Deal with it. It's not uber clean cut like everything on the Disney Channel(which I also watch. I had a Jonas Brothers obsession). It has stuff that will make me enjoy. Like how the show can be in appropriate at times.

-Total Drama Series
Yes Island, Action, and World Tour. LOVE EM. LOVE EM. LOVE EM.

-Chowder
I love Chowder. That's it.

Well I will be back soon to write a post about my favorite TV shows.
Until next time...

How Harry Potter made school for me much awesomer : )

I went to a new school this year & I knew barely anybody. But then I went to English class and my teacher has a Dumbledore’s Army poster. Then I went to the library, rushed to the Harry Potter section : ) People looked at me like I was a freak. But my library has wizard chess, Slytherin Banners hanging up on the ceiling & a pop-up Hogwarts : ) A few weeks later we had to write a ballad on a topic of our choice. Of course I chose Harry Potter. We had to present it out loud in the library. It turns out my librarian LOVES Harry Potter almost as much as I do. She came up to me & said “So you’re the one who loves Harry Potter? Your teacher has been telling me a lot about you” She showed me a OotP poster in her office, the Hogwarts pop-up, played wizard chess with me & gave me a Harry Potter Gryffindor Quidditch sticker that said “seeker”. I now get first dibs on any new HP books they get out of my whole school :) Oooh and I made new friends because of Harry Potter : ) We have wizarding duels using our pencils & I got some people to like Harry Potter : )

I love my school : ) …

…but I still prefer Hogwarts cuz there are Twi-tards running around my school :/

If you could become any fictional character, who would you be?

Buffy Summers or Amy Pond

I solemnly swear, that I am up to no good

Where's your favorite place to buy clothes?

the mall :p
