I really hope you're all ready for the EXPLOSION of wedding related posts, because there's only 25 days until the big day and I still have SO MUCH TO DO.

So, of course, I'm going to post here instead of actually doing anything.

This past weekend I tried on my headpiece for the first time, had a hair trial, had my final dress fitting, made a seating chart (complicated by people not being sure if they can come yet, nor knowing how many of them are coming), ordered ribbon for the favors, made the favors (a hilarious endeavor, because Mom, Dad, Andrew and I were all in the kitchen, filling tiny maple syrup bottles with hot syrup. Somehow no one got burned.) and made a crucual centerpice decision.

The headpiece is beautiful and perfefct, which is amazing because we ordered it online, and from Bed, Bath, and Beyond (who knew they had headpieces? Ellen, that's who). My dress is pretty, but there's this weird wrinkle on the sides of it because I'm chubby and apparently have a short torso, and the seamstress has fixed it as much as she can. :( Mom's dress does the same thing, but in the back where it's not as noticiable. I'm hoping this won't show in the pictures.

The biggest thing we still have left to do is to decide on and then make reception decortions, because I only vaguely know what I want. Not sure when that's going to happen, but I did get some fancy paper at Michael's tonight.

Stay tuned for pictures! I'll post them as soon as Mom sends them to me.

Ahoy Mateys! Today be the annual talking like a pirate day, one o' me most favorite days!

It also be the birthday o' Hermione Granger, one o' me most favorite Harry Potter charactarrrrs. An' I got free queso from Moe's, Andrew got a free doughnut from Krispy Kreme, an' Jersey Mikes were givin' out sandwiches for $1. It were a good day all around!

Me matey Ellen and I also had the followin' conversation:

Ellen: I have a crush on a boy. We hang out all the time at school and I taught him about the library but he hates cheese. I can't have a crush on someone who hates cheese.
Me: Sure you can! Abby's a Yankee's fan, and we're BFF's.
Ellen: But cheese is like a religion.

She arrrrrrrrrn't wrong!

So, my mother has Netflix. And on Netflix, there are some movies you can watch on your computer, for free, if you have a subscription, which we do. And Mom gave me her password long ago. This led to me, just now, browsing the movies I can watch in the near future. (First on the list is Interview with the Vampire, since Andrew's never seen it, but that's another story.)

Anyway, I just found this: Twist. Director Jacob Tierney takes inspiration from the Charles Dickens classic Oliver Twist in this modern-day drama about gay street life in Toronto. The innocent Oliver (Joshua Close) is drawn to the hustling Dodge (Nick Stahl), a savvy kid with whom he hooks up after running away from yet another foster home. Oliver joins Dodge and his pals, who sell their bodies to eager customers -- all under the watchful eyes of their pimp, Fagin (Gary Farmer).

So, dear f-list, (and especially Abby and Ellen) should I watch this at some point? I kind of want to, but I watched the trailer and now I'm also kind of scared.

Also, can you imagine the pitch for this? "Guys, guys, settle down, I have the best idea for a movie EVAR. It's based on Oliver Twist... Oh now, don't groan, listen, he's going to be gay, and in modern day Toronto, and Fagin is going to be his pimp. Yes, he's going to be a gay male prostitute, and Dodge, (that's my version of the Artful Dodger) is going to be a heroin addict and possibly his lover. Nancy? Oh, I don't know if I can fit her in. What do you think?"

To Do List for This Summer:

1. See Kelli, Erin, Janeea, Jess, Sarah, Renee, Heather, Emalee, and anyone else that I'm forgetting right now but who I want to see and said I would hang out with.
2. Get a job.
3. Re-read Deathly Hallows. And maybe Half Blood Prince too, just for good measure.
4. Work on, and preferably finish, epic fic of epic-ness.
5. Visit Ellen in Maine.
6. Visit Abby, if her work schedule allows.
7. See new Indiana Jones movie. Even if I have to come back to Burlington to do it.

To Do List for the Next Three Days:

1. Take Genetics final.
2. Finish Philosophy paper and hand in by 1:00 tomorrow.
3. Give Emily all her stuff back.
4. See college friends one more time.
5. Pack, clean, and go home.
6 Clean my car. PRIORITY.
7 Unpack and clean room.

In a related story, I'm pretty sure all my junk is not going to fit into my car. It's going to be interesting.

Quote of the Day: Ewan MacGregor has so many sex scenes... I am ok with that movie. It could only have been improved if we actually saw his penis. I bet it's sugar-coated. - Abby on Deception. (Which she just saw.)

Also, today is P-Day, and it is the best P-Day I have ever been to. Last year's was AWFUL (for many reasons) but this year Ellen and I bounced on things, and climbed rock walls, and rode a plastic bull, and did an obstacle course, and ate SO MUCH FOOD. And it was awesome and I had a Nutella filled crepe thing, and that was also awesome.

In conclusion, free food and inflatable things = ROCK!

Scenes from my life

As we were discussing Harry Potter yesterday:

Me: I fucking hate Cho Chang.
Ellen: Cho Chang. She doesn't do anything but cry. And occasionally play Quidditch.

As we were discussing Franklin this evening:

Abby: I have a cousin that looks like Franklin.
Me: Franklin's a turtle.
Abby: Of this, I am aware.

As we were walking inside about five minutes ago:

Gaggle of very drunk boys: *spots Abby and me returning from the theater in our dresses* Woah, woah, woah! What's new pussycat? Whoh woah woah!
Abby and I: *run inside giggling*

Honestly. Of all the things you could say to hit on a girl, that's what you go with?

Current Mood: tired

Today we were watching Fantasia, and Ellen and I were talking about the blatant racism in the movie. As we were watching the Japanese mushrooms dance, she goes: When you're three, you don't understand racism.

I kind of love Ellen.

Current Mood: cold

I keep meaning to update, but then I get distracted/don't have time, because OMG BOY. Any free time that isn't devoted to work or friends goes to the boy. It's not a bad system. :)

Yesterday, I read the end of PoA to him and Nora, even though he hadn't read the beginning. But he read the first two books, and I didn't want him to leave, so it was all good. And Nora and I enjoyed filling him in on what he had missed. Now I just have to convince him to read the other three (soon to be four).

Elsewise, I'm driving Ellen to Plymouth College in New Hampshire tomorrow, which I agreed to do before she told me that she had to be there at 8:00am. And it's two hours away. And that means that I have to get up at 5:00 tomorrow morning. 5am. GAH.

Oh, and it's Lent again. Since trying to give up swearing last year didn't really go too well, this year I've given up eating cookies and cupcakes and other unhealthy things for breakfast. (Not altogether, just for breakfast.) Instead I've been eating cereal and muffins and rice cakes, and things that may be marginally more healthy. I am also considering giving up non-diet sodas and I'm trying to read at least a little every day. It's been going well, but it's only the third day of Lent.

And Neea's coming to visit me next Thursday! With SuperMatt! Woot!!

That's all for now. Peace!

Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

I am attempting to find meaning over here. You are cramping my groove.
