OMG!

Squee! I just found the most amazingly cute picture EVER on Tumblr!! (If you haven't been, GO! You could spend a whole day on there. Seriously. It is amazing.)

James Potter's Poem

Sniff sniff! I love it. Poor James, but he did get her in the end! :) I wonder what went through Lily's head when she saw this. Sigh... L/J are so cute. They are really the best for fluffy fanfic. Now, Dramione is a whole other matter... :D

But of course, I can't post this post without posting something about Dramione! :P So here is your daily dose of Dramione. A definition of Draco Malfoy, directly from Urban Dictionary. (Love that place :D)

Draco Malfoy
The most loveable bastard in English literature. Nuff said.
Here's the equation: Draco Malfoy = HOT

Sigh... how can I not agree? Teehee. ::goes off into a reverie about Draco Malfoy's sexiness::

Bin Laden is Dead

I'm sure you've heard by now that Osama Bin Laden is dead. Well, you know, the funny thing is, I didn't even know he was still alive till yesterday, when the news got out! :D
Okay, let me explain. What I meant is, I never really paid much attention to Bin Laden and al-Qaida in general. Until I got a text from my friend, I didn't realize that now Bin Laden was killed. Basically what happened was:

1. She texts me. I think, "Hm, really? I thought it was old news..."
2. I Google News it on the iPad. I find an article from 2 minutes ago that says "Osama Bin Laden is Dead". I say, "Whoa! What?!"
3. I call my dad over, and he turns the TV on. And the news is all over every single news channel. CNN, FOX, MSNBC. And all the other ones too.
4. We sit there for 30 mins waiting for President Obama to make his official statement.
5. Obama makes his statement. In my opinion, it was a pretty good one too. Clear, concise, and diplomatic. Just the facts, just how they should be. And I found it pretty entertaining too. Idk why. Lolz.

So, yeah. That's pretty much what happened last night. Then today, there is this picture all over the news. It's really intriguing, wondering what is going through these peoples' heads. Especially Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I mean, look at her face! And then, look at President Obama's expression.
That is pretty scary.
That must have been some pretty intense stuff happening in there.

And, finally, some humor on this situation. I was reading a news article, and I looked through the comments people posted under it. Some genius posted something along the lines of this:

         Donald Trump's reaction to Bin Laden's death: 'Let me see the death certificate in long form.'

Me after reading that: "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I love that comment right there!! If it was on Facebook, and if I had a FB, I would have liked it a bajillion times. Seriously.

Epic Books

What is an epic book, you may ask? What constitutes whether or not a book can be considered "epic?" Well, here is my criteria for epic books:

1. Epic books are the ones you get lost in. The ones where you turn the last page, look up and realize you've already spent three hours reading it, and you didn't notice because you were in the world of the author's imagination.
2. Epic books are the ones that stick with you for a while. The ones where the writing, the characters, the plot, the ending(!!)  was so incredible that you can't seem to get it off your mind for an extended period of time.
3. Epic books are the ones you can read over and over again, without getting bored.
4. Epic books are (in my case, at least) pretty big. The biggest epic book I've read (I'm reading!) is 619 pages.
5. Epic books are epic. That's all there is to it.

So, now that you know what I consider to be an epic book, let's look at my (as of now) list of epic books:

1. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling - how can any list be complete without it?
2. His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman - The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass
3. Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini - Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance
4. Inkheart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke - Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath
5. Seven Kingdoms Trilogy by Kristin Cashore - Graceling, Fire, Bitterblue
6. Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld - Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras
7. The Host by Stephenie Meyer - currently reading. Yup, the 619 pg one, and yup, the author of Twilight. But I swear, it is so much better. Not that I read Twilight. But still.

And... that's all I can think of now. Lol. I'll probably read some more epic books, and when I do (not if, when!), I will blog about them again. So keep your eyes peeled! :D

Random Stuff Under a Random Title

Not much for today, but just snippets of random ideas/things I found out recently.

1. THE FOURTH BOOK IN THE INHERITANCE CYCLE IS FINALLY HERE!!! Well. Not really. It's actually going to be published November 8th, 2011. But at least it FINALLY has a publish date! AND it even came with a finalized title AND a gorgeous cover!!! AAHH!!!!! See it all here. Lol, now the only thing is I have to go back and read all of the previous ones, because I totally forgot what happened. Teehee :D
2. Apparently, Leonardo di Caprio and Kate Winslet were voted "Most Romantic Couple On-Screen"... only 5 days ago! Wow. They even beat really famous couples like the ones from "Gone With the Wind" and "Casablanca." Isn't that amazing?! It's like my dream come true... sob!
3. "Judas" has FINALLY BEEN RELEASED!! YAY for Lady Gaga! I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me... ;) Hehehe jk. I <3 you and your new album though!
4. Impromptu speeches rock. Random, but true. Very very true. The only disappointment is that we're going to go back to daily minutes now... Today was our last day of impromptus. Sigh. It was fun while it lasted though. Maybe we'll do them again soon...? Please Miss Greer? :)
5. I cannot sleep at 10 pm anymore. I have to stay up until at least 11 pm for me to actually get a good sleep. But then I don't feel like getting out of bed every morning... Sigh. I think my dreams are also a part of why. :P But anyways, it is 10:59 pm, so might as well get ready for bed now...

Cool Things!

OMG! I found the most amazing thing ever, from my fave author (Kristin Cashore)'s blog. It is SO COOL.
Click on squares, and make music! I absolutely adore it. It's almost too addicting! :D

AND! I read the most hilarious HGSS one-shot fanfiction ever. It is just too cute. Read it! Even if Hermione/Severus activates your gag reflex... ;) Teehee. And after, read the other ones she wrote about Hermione and Severus' too cute daughter! <3
Like Father, Like Daughter

Have fun! :)

Bcuz I Feel Lik Txting.. Yea. Randomness. Embrace It.

Oh wow! It's been so loooong since I've been here. Almost 3 weeks! Spring break really got me out of my normal blogging routine (that is, add new posts while pretending to work on homework ;) ), so I haven't gotten any chance to blog.
Anyway, to the point! I'm blogging because Mr. Freakin Opoku didn't give me my geometry homework! Isn't that crazy?! So now, like always (haha jk.. or not!), I have to do it in the morning, and usually since my bus gets there like a minute before the bell for class rings, I'll have to do it all at lunch. Ugh! So I don't have any homework tonight. Woohoo! Now I can slack off more than ever! ;)

Guess what! I watched "The King's Speech" on spring break!! And I loved it. It was really great, and I certainly think it deserved all the Oscars it got. Great job Colin Firth! You were amazing! :) But honestly, I don't think it needed to be rated R. For swearing too! I mean, really?! Like the man in line behind us at the movie ticket counter, "Your daughter surely has heard worse than what they say in the movie!" My parents were like, "Uhhh..." And me? I was (internally) cracking up. Like, "BAHAHAHAHAHA! That's so true!!!" The swearing scene itself? Not that bad. Not bad at all! I mean, he said a lot of the "popular" swear words, and then he said something inappropriate. But I thought the whole thing was hilarious! And apparently, so did everybody else in the theater.
Except for, of course, my parents.  -.-
Anyway, I don't think it deserves to be rated R. That scene is really not bad. And I think that rating that movie R would turn a lot of people away from seeing it, because they'd be like "Woah! It's rated R!! That must be one BAD movie then! That's it. I'm not gonna watch it." Which is totally wrong!!! There are so many other movies wayyy worse than it that are rated PG or PG-13, when they should be rated R. But whatever, can't change that... At least I got to see it! :D

And now, for the "Random Lyric of the Day:"
If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me? -Britney Spears, "Hold It Against Me", Femme Fatale

Bahaha. That's so not random, I've been singing that for the past two weeks! Just ask my TAG-IT buds. Right Ceci? ;)

Born This Way

Wow.. I absolutely LOVE Lady Gaga's new album single, Born This Way!!! I just heard it today for the first time, and now it's stuck in my head! But I like it :) A lot. It's so inspiring! Even more so than Firework by Katy Perry. It's definitely the new anthem (sorry Ke$ha :P). Here are the lyrics:

[Intro]
It doesn't matter if you love him,
Or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'cause you were born this way, baby

[Verse 1]
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"there's nothin wrong with lovin who you are"
She said, "'cause he made you perfect, babe"

"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way
'cause god makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born-
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be!

Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital h-i-m (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)

I'm beautiful in my way
'cause god makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born-
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way


Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'cause baby you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
