Hogwarts

It was a wonderful September morning when I heard a knock at the door, as I was going to answer it, it fell over in pieces, and there in the doorway stood a large figure, with a mangled beard and tattered clothes. "You're a wizard" he says when he sees the shock in my face. Wow, he gets right to the fucking point
"And you are?" I joke, knowing exactly who stands in my doorway
"I am Hagrid, and you, my dear, are a wizard."
"Yeah, I think we got that bit sorted out already."
"So, there it is, you're wizard, I'm Hagrid, let's go get your wizard shit."

He did his cool wizard thing when we get to the secret passageway to Diagon Ally, I've seen it thousands of times, watching and re watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (And of course read it as well) but it was so much cooler in person
"So, can I get an owl? Wait no, I want a toad, toads are the bomb"
"Toads are so the bomb"

"So," Hagrid starts after we go shopping for my wizard things, "What is it you need to know about wizards?"
"Well, are there any riles I should be aware of?"
"Well, muggles cannot know of magic what so ever"
"But, my dear, they already do, there is a book out about it, it's very very good, you know"
"But do they KNOW that it's real? See there's always been stories of witches and wizard and things of that nature but nobody ever believes them"
"Oh, Hagrid, they know." I said this as dramatically as I could.
"Well then my friend, let us strike a deal."

He went on to explain his plan, where I stay at home and study witchcraft on my own,and do my best to keep the muggles from believing in magic, then when all of the books and the movies came to an end, I was allowed to expose wizardry completely. I wasn't allowed to contact anyone at Hogwarts until that time, except through letters, which I was not allowed to keep.
Though we could not talk before, once Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part Two came out I got a letter from a very familiar owl, Ron's owl, his note went like this:

Dearest Simona,
First of all I would like to commend you on your amazing will power, I don't understand how you could live among muggles your entire life with this secret in your head. Second, I just want you to know, that JK Rowling actually got it right, in fact, I am half convinced that you leaked some of our information, however, I trust you too much to ever believe that, anyway, I just thought I would let you know that you are now allowed to announce it all to the world, do this however you please.

Love, Ron

I always did love getting letters from Ron, he really is a great friend. So, as Hagrid himself ordered, I am now telling the world that this alternate universe we've all spent our lives dreaming about, is, in fact true, every last bit of it, this must be truly exiting for someone who hadn't been living it her whole life (It's certainly exiting for me, as well, though I won't admit it) I suppose the only pitfall of this whole magical story is that we do not get to enjoy magic ourselves, but we get to enjoy the magic of the wonderful story that unfolded right before out eyes, and that, my friend, is the best magic of all.

Writing

So, I've been trying to write a book recently, the only problem being that I base nearly every character on myself. like the lead, Violette Moore (Moore means he who waits in the marsh lands. it fits her so perfectly!) feels like she's losing everything, of course she is a lot more dramatic interpretation of me, but she still reflects who I am, or at least who I was.

Also another problem I've run into is that I base my characters on who I wish I was. like the person who helps the lead, Sophia, is intelligent, stunning, confident, and knows what she wants out of life. she's everything I'm not. I find this type of thing happening with a lot of writers, because real creativity is a very hard thing to come by. I certainly haven't found mine yet (except in poetry, but we're talking about fiction) The main problem, I think, is that so many writers are afraid to go outside of their comfort zone in order to create something truly spectacular. I mean, look at the great writers through history. Edgar Allan Poe was completely different than what his time period would have expected, and look how famous he is now.

I don't know exactly what the point of posting this was. Maybe it was to convince myself to right something great, like that will ever happen. Ha.

As always, I love you guys, goodnight :)

Nerdfighters!!

So, I've been really into vlogbrothers recently, I've liked them ever sense like December of 2008, I've just never really kept up with their videos or considered myself a nerdfighter until a couple months ago, and sense then, I've been obsessed. Which I guess is a common trait of nerdfighters.

For those of you who are confused:
Nerdfighter: (n.)
Someone who, in stead of being made of flesh and blood and stuff, is in fact made of awesome.

I should really be getting to bed now, I have two late nights ahead of me, Love you guys, DFTBA

Coming Out

So, I came out of the closet today. Unfortunately I do not have some long and lovely story about how it helped me find out about myself and the people I truly love and blah blah blah, because I did not come out in person with anyone, I cam out on facebook, like a boss.

I know that I should expect a lot of shit from people who have something against gay people. And you know what I have to say to them? Fuck you. I can't help liking girls. And if I could, I wouldn't change myself for the world. You know why? I love who I am. If you have some sort of problem with me you can go fuck yourself, I'll get more chicks than you EVER will. Cause the only love you'll ever get is lotion and an old sock.

Ha! Little rant there. but, hey, that's what blogs are for right?

Okay, Well I have to go to bed, I love you all very much (even though I doubt anyone reads this, Ha!)

Just a quick update before bed

Nothing too special has happened recently. I started a band, but so far it's not too serious, there's only two of us (Me and Juicy) and only one of us has any musical talent what so ever (I think you can guess which one it is XD) But we have started to write music. I write lyrics (For the most part) and he goofs around on the guitar till he figures out something that sounds good. Our band name is "Socially Unacceptable" Our sound is somewhere between Pink Floyd and Red Hot Chili Peppers and we intend for everyone to join to be hipsters. I don't intend on posting song lyrics, because that's how shit gets stolen, but, if we ever get videos of us playing (Of course that would be AFTER I get a bass guitar, and we get a drummer and a singer) then I do plan on posting them here. Just keep and eye out if you're interested in seeing our work. I think that's all I have to say. so goodbye, sorry for wasting your time with meaningless knowledge, I love you, goodnight

New poem: It's kinda short..

I'd give the world to see you smile
I'd walk for days, mile upon mile
I love you like I'd love a sister
I wish you'd understand
That you're the one I fell for first
You are my closest friend


The only thing you'd ever do
To break my cold, glass heart
Is hit me with you're sudden truth
Your words are poison darts
Cause everything you ever say
Just hits me in my chest
A day with you, just any day
Is better than the rest
