$UCCE$$!!!!!!

DISCLAIMER: I just randomly decided to replace the s's in success with dollar signs. It had absolutely nothing to do with money.

Now, onto the real "meat and potatoes" of the blog: why I'm declaring success. You may think I did something amazing. Like cure the common cold. Bring world peace. Find Amelia Earhart. Find Waldo. Steal Gavin Creel (BTW, check out Maddi's fabulous post on him). But alas, I did none of those things (Though I could/would attempt some of them).
What I did achieve success in was finishing an incredibly annoying essay, quite nicely, if i do say so myself. An essay about morals [pained face]. BLEH! I mean, who needs morals when your Gavin Creel? Unfortunately, I am not Gavin, nor have I stolen him. So I obviously had to write it. It took me two excruciating days of procrastination, but I finally did it! I feel momentously happy! Heck, I even used a line from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in it. But I still have to read two other books and do APUSH work. Ugh! But I still can't pass on a chance to feel happy at this success. It made my day (erm, night). Well, that and some good ole' reading!
All I have to do is edit it (easy!) and mail it. So I can truly rejoice now. I think I might just bake me-self a cake. mmmmm. Cake. That's it. I'm baking/buying a cake. So later!

Awesome Movie!

I think anybody alive right now knows what movie I'm talking about.
HARRY POTTER & THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE!
I saw it the other day with a host of friends. It blew my mind away. Twas one of the best so far. I really loved all the humor in it, especially that there was some despite the depressing & sad tone that was in the background throughout the movie.
Seeing its awesomeness makes me unable to wait to see both parts of the Deathly Hallows! I'm even starting to reread it now (Ok, so I'm at least reading the best part, the Battle of Hogwarts).
Ok, so enough happy-cheerful-excited-raving lunatic talk. Time to be critical. There was an incredibly rude lady sitting in front of us. She basically told us to shut up (She may have phrased it differently). I mean, all we were doing was making funny comment on things. For example, we asked each other what the heck Filch was wearing at the opening feast. Harmless. But she had the gumption to talk back to us. So rude!
The only complaint I really have about the movie is that they left out some key scenes. Like the memory pertaining to the Cup of Hufflepuff. And I think it was in Half-Blood Prince that the relationship of Bill and Fleur is mentioned, because they do have a pretty good part in Deathly Hallows (Wedding, Shelter, Epilogue (In that it'd be random to mention them having a child if theyre hardly mentioned in thos eother parts)). They also completely passed over the fact that Harry now owns 12, Grimmauld Place and thus the whole idea of Kreacher! Grrr David Yates! Bad director!
Well, hopefully, the parts affected by these events won't be written out of the Deathly Hallows (If they were, the plot would be WEIRD!).
Oh, and anybody have any guesses as to where the first part of Deathly Hallows will end????
Personally, I say escape from Malfoy Mansion.

A While ~ A Collage in One Part(s)

Boy, it shure has been awhile since I last posted. This makes me very sad =(
I did have a half-written post all about the books I had recently read. Unfortunately, I forgot to go back to it after like two weeks, so I completely scrapped it. So now I'm going to just kinda collage what I've done lately and what I think. And maybe a few words to go along.
The books I read (above and below)
A movie I saw (Best animated movie EVER!)
Hilarious pictures I found (Above and below)
Games I beat (Above and below)
Movie I just saw
My favorite movie characters (Above (the bird) and below)
And that's practically all that's happened on my little "hiatus." There's probably more, but I can't exactly remember all of it. So maybe the title of this post is wrong, and A While is actually a collage in two parts. But I don't know. How could I? I'm not psychic.
