Deathly Hallows Trailer Released Today!

I'm so excited because today the Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Official HD Trailer was released today! It's so awesome! Even though I don't truly believe that Harry Potter can be spoiled, I guess for you persons out there who refuse to read the greatest book series EVER should cover your eyes after the trailer so you're not to be spoiled.

READ THE BOOKS. It does a body good!





*************SPOILERS*************

Firstly I love how the beginning of the trailer is the end of the book! Ralph Fiennes plays an amazing Voldemort and Dan Radcliffe looks hot hot HOT in this trailer. It's like everything is right. I haven't seen his hair looks so sexy since Order of the Phoenix. I also feel like every film they get his wardrobe to be better and better. This trailer also gives a lot of feedback on new scenes that aren't in the book as well as sweet treats of some of my favorite parts of the book being included. As we see at from 0:06-0:55 its the end of DH. Then at :57 we see Ollivander in his kidnapped state which leads me to believe that the wand lore theory is to be included as it rightfully should. Next we see slices of the Seven Potters sequence, Dobby's death on the beach of Shell Cottage, and maybe you can help me out with the scene at 1:01. It looks like Hermione walking but where? Is this one of the adventures to get food while on the lamb? or is this when they go to Godrics Hollow? If the food bit, what a way to throw us off and how boring a scene they put in, but none the less its content from the book and that is always important. If at Godrics Hollows then does that mean the Harry and Hermione don't use Polyjuice Potion?

Anyways next we have the armor around Hogwarts at 1:05 which isn't very important except for the fact that its visually stunning CGI.  My next point of confusion is at 1:06-1:08. Who is this man? I can't remember from the book who he might be and furthermore why is he stopping the Hogwarts express? Could it be to check for HP? But in the book they know HP isn't at Hogwarts before the train leaves the station. I wonder if this is a new scene they wrote for the movie. I like it a lot, it's very eerie. The next important nugget of insight is at 1:14 where we know that that is after the trio break into Gringotts. I personally love several scenes after this shot, the one at 1:22 where I think that's just after Fred dies (RIP) and at 1:27 I think that is Ron at the Ministry after he's changed back to his true form.

A very very confusing part of the trailer is 1:33-1:36 where Voldemort has Harry tied up. I don't understand this because after HP tricks Voldy into thinking he's dead HP gets away before Voldy realizes it. I did love the language that Harry used though, "...because I've something worth living for." ooooooohhhhhh spine tingling no?

The rest of the trailer includes a lot of tid bits but I don't want to write about them now. Snape's death scene, Ron killing the Horcrux, Ginny kissing Harry (swoon. He looks short in that shot though), the Godics Hallow attack, and finally the 2 wands fighting....AWESOME but question? Where is everyone else in that scene? It is like this huge spectacle and it looks like its just Harry and Voldemort. I wonder if David Yates added an additional fight sequence in there.

Overall I thought this was a solid trailer. It made me a little sad and I may have teared up some happy tears. I think Dan and Rupert look hot in it. I love their hair cuts and their grudge. Harry actually looks beat up for once, not just dirty/bloody. The make-up is spot on. I love the special effects, I think they look clean and a lot of time was spent on them. I'm so excited for part I!

Leave the Wisdom, take the Teeth.

Blogging is hard. It's hard because you have to make yourself do it. You have to create it as a habit. I'm working on it becoming a habit. Bear with me.

So this week I was really bad because I promised that I would write about my wisdom teeth removal but that was on Monday and it's almost Sunday.

Tonight I'm watching Avatar with my mom, step dad, and my moms friend Cara. I've decided since I've seen it before I will try my hand at multitasking and post something.

So Monday I got my 4 wisdom teeth removed. It hurt like hell and it still does. The whole process was quick and easy. I went in and they put me under within 10 minutes and I awoke 45 minutes later, mouth full of cotton, can't feel my face, totally David after the Dentist. I started to cry a little because I was so confused about why all the nurses looked at me so funny. I swear it was like I spilled my guts to these people while I was asleep. Like I told them I peed the bed till I was 12 or that I thought the Doctor was cute or something horrendously embarrassing like that.

After I left and went home I felt totally dazed and confused. I tried watching TV but I couldn't hold my attention and I couldn't sleep and I was just miserable.
Then the numbing went away and I was in pain AND miserable. I couldn't talk because of the gauze and so I had to text message my Dad for pain medication. Thank God for technology.

After I was drugged up and the bleeding eventually stopped, which I thought wouldn't, I settled in and started enjoying the pampering. I watched lots of Dr.Who and Charade, with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. Then my mom came over after work and I swear she made me the best damn mashed potatoes I've ever tasted. They were like made with magic or something. The rest of the day was unexciting and sleeping was a mission.

Tuesday was super boring. I felt lots better and now was just bored because I couldn't go anywhere. I started a puzzle and watched a lot of stupid stuff on TV. My dad wanted to make some goody baskets for his girls softball teams party and I ran with it. I let my creativity thumb run wild. I think they turned out pretty cute! Krista came over later that night and we watched one of my favorite movies, Like Water for Chocolate. She's a nice person.

Wednesday-Friday I worked. It was stressful because a lot of corporate people were there and it was one of those situations where you just shut up and do whatever they say. On Thursday I felt like I was sexually assaulting this mannequin because I had to carry it all around the store so the president and posy could get an idea. What a bore...

Friday after work I went to Krista's house because her family was having a party for her sister Erin's High School graduation. Congrats Erin!!
So we end up playing Pictionary with a bunch of her cousins and her friend Brandy. Brandy, Krista, Krista's cousins Simone and Aliya (I think), and I were on a team. We sucked really bad. Krista was pretty good but I was atrocious. For example instead of drawing someone turning + a table, I would draw an actual turntable. I just didn't get the concept of helping people guess, I guess. So we started cheating. At first we didn't make it subtle enough but soon no one could tell if we were, it was so much fun. I had a great time.

Today I did nothing awesome. I watched SpongeBob and read 100 pages of The Time Travelers Wife. It is so good. I recommend it.

My jaw hurts so bad. Its like this unbearable throbbing pain. I took some meds but god it felt like forever for it to kick in. Now without further ado I present to you the promised picture of my surgery...

This is taken probably 10 minutes after I woke up. Something totally creepy about this picture is that before my surgery that sweatshirt was off. When I woke up, it was on. I would have loved to see how many nurses it takes to put a sweatshirt on a sleeping 20 year old.

Avatar is almost over so I'm going to go brush my teeth and pour myself into my reading. I hope everyone had a good week! Talk to you soon!

Is this REAL life?


You know sometimes I don't realize how great I have it. I mean I've always fared well because I've never been impoverished but never been too wealthy either. My finances are always right in the middle  but my friendships have not. When I was growing up I seriously didn't have any friends.

So I've been ok in the friend department. I mean I know a lot of people and they know me but I can't really constitute them as friend friends. But to me a true friend is someone you be totally yourself around and vise versa. It’s someone that picks up on your mood and has total patience with everything you do. It’s just someone who cares about you. Its crazy to think about but I mean how many people do you know who CARE about you? Who go the extra step and say, you don't seem like yourself what's wrong? Who says let's hangs out tonight or how was work today? 
I have had a few Friend Friends, one in elementary school, one in middle school, two or three in high school. One from high school we're still pretty good friends but have grown apart since we live far away from each other.  If you answered more than 3 then you’re only lucky golden nugget. (I'm a lucky nugget!)
texted me “Where are you?” I didn’t text her to tell her I wasn’t coming for lunch because I didn’t think she cared that much about my whereabouts or really cared about meeting up.  I texted her back

“Oh, I just didn’t feel like going to class today.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, fine just didn’t feel like it.”
“Okay see you later.”

I don’t know why her questions surprised me so much, but I remember thinking, none of my friends have ever asked that before. I mean it’s a perfectly average common question but it hit me like a ton of bricks. Maybe it is because after high school I feel like I lost all my friends. They all moved away and I stayed home. I feel like I've had to start over finding new people to hang out with, and finding other avenues. But last October (or November) I feel like I got a little lucky and from that day on I think I knew I had a friend, like a true friend. I feel lucky in a lot of ways because I feel like I have someone who is literally RIGHT THERE in my town, like 1 intersection and 1 left, then 1 right turn away. It may seem stupid because I’m still surprised all the time when she listens to my weird interests. I’m not used to having someone besides my mother want to see me and call me and talk to me. I've had a really good half year so far. It’s a weird time in my life, Scouts honor...
...but Yeah, I’ve got it pretty good.

*I wrote this last Thursday and I don’t remember why I was feeling so sentimental but I’m still grateful everyday for the awesome people in my life who help remind me of such powerful moments. 

Tomorrow I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I’m a little nervous because I’ve never been put to sleep before. I’ve never even had an I.V. tube or anything. But this whole procedure is a good thing. I’ve needed to get these teeth removed for about a year now. One is actually trying to poke it’s little head out. I feel so anxious about it. My coworker Amber she said she felt like DAVID AFTER THE DENTIST. And I’m totally going to be obnoxious and ask to keep my teeth. They are my teeth and I have the right to take those little buggers home and inspect them. So I can’t eat after 4am which will be hard for me since I eat all 3 meals of the day between 4 and 4:45am. Just a normal day in Kim town.
Speaking of eating, I need to work harder at it. I went to give blood last Thursday and I denied for the 5th time in my life. I’ve overcome the loop hole of being 5’4 and 120 pounds. My heart wasn’t racing, I wasn’t hungry. None of the tell tale signs of blood donor rejection. This one was a curve ball, LOW IRON. I’m no vegetarian. I love my red meat and cheese, and all the things that contribute to rising green house gas emission via farting. So I went away feeling defeated AGAIN! I’m going to try again next week and show them. They will take my B- whole blood and they will enjoy it and I will rejoice in their defeat/win with them! Muahahah muahahha!
I will try to keep you updated with all my wisdom teeth removal happenings, maybe even picture if you’re purrrretty and leave me a comment below!
 I think I came into post this wanting to write something else but I don’t remember.

G’Night Ya’ll!
