Harry Potter was BRILLIANT.

OMTL.
Harry
Potter
was
amazing.


But before that, I had to spend a whole day in school, which was absolute torture.After school, me and Hailey met our driving friend Ashley around 3.We then went to the movie theatre.It was almost empty and not crowded.We were so surprised, seeing as Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows was premiering today... Ashley got a good spot.(Best Spot in the Lot): D We met our friend Nate there and we waited in the line for our theatre.The line was a string of film.Un problemo, Hailey didn't have the same theatre number as us.She waited in line with us and we tried to trade with people, but she was stuck with her ticket.


 We waited in the line for about two hours.During that two hours I got a witch/wizard hat painted on my left arm, and a scar on my right. I also entered a drawing for a free haircut, manicure,pedicure, tattoo removal, or piecing*. Then they told us to put our chairs back in the car;because we were going into the theatre soon. I started freaking out because we hadn't gotten a ticket for Hailey. We just decided to walk up to the ladies checking tickets and see what they'd do.She asked if she was with us and she let Hailey in our auditorium!I wanted to give her a hug.:)


We got the seats we wanted, right in the middle/front of the main seating area.The next 6 hours were even more treacherous and horrid than the whole school day had been!We got so bored and hungry.Thankfully my mom brought us pizza that we ate. We spent the time by reading [Hailey finished By Royal Command(One of my favorite books that I recommend you read]. I did my devotion and Bible reading, and read some of Deathly Hallows itself.:) We all entertained ourselves by asking each other random and sometimes deep questions, playing Truth or Dare, Mad Libs, & MASH.During a popcorn run, I went to the bathroom and saw my best friend from kindergarten.She had moved away and we kind of... fell away.She didn't recognize me. It's weired seeing her after so many years...


Then the movie.The previews were interesting(Ashley & I started a clap to a Gatorade commercial!**), but they started to turn pink and green and everyone freaked out!I was so afraid we'd have to watch the movie like that but they fixed it!Note:Someone yelled/roared "RUMBLEROAR!!!!" during the Voyage of the Dawn Treader commercial which made me so happy.:) A random guy ran around the theatre in excitement so I gave him a high-five. With his speeding hand hitting my stationary hand, that resulted in pain.


Then the movie started. I don't want to give away anything, but I loved this movie the best.They paid better attention to details, and I laughed and cried a LOT.I am a tad judgemental, seeing as some things I pictured in my head that didn't make the cut for the movie.I'm a little sad somethings weren't in the movie, but those can remain special to us readers. ;)


My mom didn' let me go to school the next day (I had a stomach ache from eating popcorn at 2:30 a.m.).She thought I meant throw up stomach ache, but I meant I'm-not-used-to-eating-so-late/early-stomach-ache.


I took some pictures to better share my experience of my first midnight movie premiere with ya':)

Till next time.(:

*Tattoo removal unnecessary and no body piercings for me :D
**This is a significant event in my life, have you started a clap?It feels fantastic.I implore you to try to once in your lifetime :)

3 more days...+ a mini photoshoot

The excitement is building. Yesterday I was eating nachos for lunch and I suddenly wasn't hungry. Bond and my other friends kept trying to get me to eat. Finally, one of them suggested that I thought of the nacho as a Harry Potter cupcake. They applauded as I started to eat the cupcakes. They later ate the rest of the HP cupcakes. Oh, how I love my lunch table :)

My friend Hailey & I started a Harry Potter marathon on Sunday. We watched the Sorcerer's Stone and prepared out nails for the premier and then went outside and took some pictures before picking up Bond and going to youth.


 Nails by me, call me if you need your nails done for any event :D

 The Arch of Optimistic Toe Separators
 Cartwheel, pft...
 Somersault baby!
Hailey's brother Milo:)





 More product placement of my nail painting skills..



 Beautiful sunset at church:)

As I'm typing this, I'm watching the Order of the Phoenix. I've come far on my marathon. I will be waiting with a group of friends for 9 hours till midnight.We will leave as soon as school gets out to meet at the theatre.I will take as much pictures and maybe video as I can to show you. I will be dressing up like a witch, ha ha. I will only get about 3 hours of sleep, but it will be worth it.And yes, I will be going to school the next day.Oh, fun.:)

HARRY POTTER!!!

I.Am.So.PUMPED!!!! It is Thursday, friends, one week before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 comes out!: D


I love the movies, but the main reason for my love of Harry Potter is because of the books.Today I will be telling you guys the story of how I met J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter.


It all started when I was 8 or so. My mom had started to read the series and I wanted to too. I had been reading since before pre-school, so I was a bit above my grade's average reading level. I could understand most of the vocabulary, but I just couldn't get hooked into the story.I already knew what was going to happen, so I thought "Why read the books then?" I never got past chapter 1 of the Sorcerers Stone.


Then the Christmas of my 6th grade year (I was roughly about 11 years old), my cousins came and visited me. They are both a little bit younger than me. They kept on talking about how much they LOVED Harry Potter and how I need to read the books. So starting that winter break, I started reading the books.After that, I was hooked. I remember that by the time that the Goblet of Fire was playing on TV, I was reading it too and fought to read 50 pages before I saw what happened in the movie.I won that battle:)


I am now typing in Geometry. Quick side note: As our assignment we had to blog about MATH! I blog for fun so this was a super easy assignment!Want to see it? Here you go:


"Once upon a time there was a little pig who loved math.The END. Just kidding.:)  This blog is really about GEOMETRY.Hi I'm Rebecca, I like to take pictures and watch YouTube videos.No I'm not joking.Enough about me, I need to bring my grade up in this class after all. I like this class, there's some hilarious people in here.Also my teacher is really fun and awesome. I just had trouble memorizing the theorems and stuff so I got horrible test grades. I really get the stuff we are learning now though.You want to hear more of my random mumblings/photography, check out my real blog. Tata!"


Entertaining yes?(sarcasm sensor BEEP BEEP BEEP:)


Anyways, back to Harry....
Harry Potter is truly my favorite fiction book in the world. Thousands, possibly millions agree with me.Favorite book EVER is the Bible;) As far as the Twilight & Harry Potter comparison, I've  read both series and can honestly say "What comparison? Harry Potter wins!"


I find that so many things in life can relate to Harry Potter.The character connection is so strong between me and pretty much most of the characters in the series.If you ever read this J.K. Rowling, thank you.:)And if you haven't read them yet or just can't get into them, please keep trying, I implore you. You won't regret it.:)


Now, for some pictures:)
This is a panorama of my "Wall of Harry Potter"

No one there...

Apparition!Doesn't my foot look like rubber?Awkward, I blame Lockheart...


It's sideways so you can read the titles;)

I will be doing a HP movie marathon, PPP(Potter Puppet Pals), and AVPM(A Very Potter Musical) marathons for the next few days.My school is cooperating wonderfully:) I will be going to the midnight premiere next Thursday right after school with some of my friends from church.

Are you into Harry Potter?I'd love to hear your thoughts:) Thanks for reading & commenting!

These are the magical lemons/pine cones at Bond's house.

On the right side doesn't it look like a thin skyscraper?


The mark our pool left over from the summer.The ring doesn't go away until it's time to bring the pool back out. :D





 
Playing with dof(depth of field).

My brother has developed a habit of using ladder to climb the trees in our backyard.




My mom saying how these leaves could be knee-pads,ha ha..:)


This leaf was standing up by itself. I am so proud:')


This HUGE spider in the backyard.*shudder*


I got very lucky to get this shot.
My friend doing some sort of math homework.No comprendo?!?
