I've Been Watching Your World From Afar

So, I've been lurking and posting on LiveJournal A LOT lately. Maybe I should start posting on here? But then again I don't know; I have a blog. And I love it. Tons. It seems a little pointless to post it here and on my blog. I dunno. Does anyone even read this?! I'm thinking not. *Sigh*

As I'm sure anyone reading this can tell, I don't use my LJ. Like, ever. And that's all well and good because I'm still writing blogs. They can be found at: www.katelestrange.thehogshead.net

Boys

Boy- "I really really like you."

Me - "Umm..."

Boy- "Is that weird? You know I always have."

Me- "You're making this really hard for me."

Boy- "I know."

Me- "It's not fair for me, you're in love with someone else."

Boy- "It's a dying love!"

Me- "It doesn't matter. I can't."

Boy- "I'm glad you have respect for yourself."

Me- "Yeah, me too."

Boy- "So when I tell you that I'm over it, will you believe me?"

Me- "I don't think I will."

Boy- "Katie."

Me- "What?"

Boy- "This sucks."

Me- "It really does."

Boy- "Ugh."

Me- "It's on you this time, not me."

Boy- "I know. We have the worst timing."

Me- "We really do."

Boy- *Sigh*

Me- "Call me when you're ready."

Boys can be suck a fucking pain.

I've finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Oh. My. God. It's over.

OMFG, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!!!!

2007-07-12T03:48:25Z

I saw HP last night at midnight. It was amazing. Dressing up was amazing. Being there was amazing. Waiting was amazing. *sigh* The whole thing. I don't have any words for this. I'll try to write a blog about what happened later, I just can't do it yet.

About just the film:

Holy crap. I looooove this movie so much. The words are just... I can't even get them out. I'll go this by character because I can't go through the whole film... well I could and I think that is the problem.

Harry: CAPS!Harry, really bothers me in the book. He just does. But in the film, it was down played. Which makes me happy. Dan did a wonderful job. *sigh* It was great.

Ron: Ron wasn't the sidekick! He was Ron!!!! Enough said.

Hermione: I love Hermione in canon. Hermione in the movies.... not so much. They makes her too perfect. But for some reason, I LOVE her in this film. I don't even really know why.

Cho: I hate Cho in canon. I really do, I just don't like her. The film made her out to be... well, we like her more. She is the reason why the DA is caught. But it wasn't her fault really. So... that makes me sad. Because people who haven't read the books might be like, "Harry is such a jerk. It wasn't her fault!" Even if it's not her fault in canon, he doesn't really date her, and then they don't even talk in HBP. But this is just like... "Why aren't they talking?" I mean, we don't find out they she was forced to give information up until the end. But it seems like in the next one they should be dating. Or at least that is how it was for me.

Ginny: *Squeee* OMG. I love her in canon. And we hardly ever see her in the films... but in this one she totally kicked ass! REDUCTO! I must say that she is looking more and more like the Ginny in my mind. And she was sending the jealous looks over at Cho when she was with Harry. Oh! There is a part when Hermione says something about Cho not being able to keep her eyes off of Harry, and Ginny looks pissed off. It great!

Neville: Matt is awesome.

Luna: Wow. Evanna is sooo cool. Luna is one of my favorite characters in this movie. Seriously she is in my top three. She is absolutely perfect!

Sirius: I dunno, I don't really like Sirius in these films. And I really don't like how he was killed. He get hit with AK and then falls. WTF? Ugh... that made me mad. Another thing is the he called Harry "James" about 30 seconds before he dies. I did not find that good timing at all.

Dumbledore: We all still know who is playing him, right?

Voldemort: Rocked.

Umbridge: Very much like she was in canon. I don't like talking about her because she makes me want to hit things. That's a good thing, yes?

Bellatrix Lestrange: FUCKING ROCKED!!!!! OMG she was perfect, holy crap. Amazing. As you might be able to tell (*points at name*) That I love Bellatrix. She was just soo... GOOD. After Sirius dies, you can't really hear anything. But you her her little tiny laugh and then she runs away. *sigh*

My least favorite book (OotP) is my favorite movie. And my favorite book (GoF) is my least favorite movie. The world is strange.

OMG H&TP!!!!

2007-07-03T04:00:22Z

On Friday, I went to see PotterCast in San Fran. Yeah. Tiffani was like 45 minutes late picking up Hans. Making us late for the podcast. It was lame. But we did get to see the end. Okay, when I say “we” I mean Kelsi and myself. Anyway, the end rocked. I’m happy that we went. After that we went to see Harry and the Potters. Now that, that was amazing. OMG! So much fun. The only sucky part is that we had to leave after a half an hour because my parents wanted to get back home. :[

I did nothing on Saturday. Well I might have. But I can’t remember if I did or not. How sad is that?

Moving on. Kelsi and I went to see Harry and the Potters again on Sunday! It was amazing. Again. LOL we got to stay the whole time. I saw my old neighbor who I thought was living in Canada. That was kind of weird. But the point is. It freaking rocked. I love HP 4 and 7.

After the concert (which was in Sacramento) we (my parents took us) all went to Vick’s. I love Vick’s. Their ice cream rocks.

Now this is the very summed up version of what I did over the weekend. But really, I said all the important stuff. :]

Long blog next time.

camera pictures

2007-06-26T04:04:56Z

life has been fun. mari was here for two weeks, i've been spending lots of time with my boys (trav and tommy [justin]) and kelsi. :] i love my bestfriends.

tuesday, kelsi, mari and i went to the movies to see fantasic four: rise of the silver surfer, and kelsi's mum tooks us out to dinner at chilis. omg. our server was a total hottie. and for some reason he asked if it was someone's birthday when we ordered dessert, and kelsi said that it had been my birthday last week. so a few servers came out and sang. but apparently it was kelsi's birthday, too. kelsi and i are twins now.

after dinner, we went to lodi lake for a bit. mari fed the ducks while kelsi and took pictures.

wednesday, kelsi came over. nothing too fun happened. just hanging out.

thursday kelsi, tommy and travis came over. we were going to make cookies, but we just ate the dough instead. then we made our MV; it only took us about three weeks to finally decide when to do it. if you care to see, watch it at the end of the post. kelsi is singing, i'mis on guitar, tommy is on drums, mari is on the keyboard [but it looks like she's playing on the computer lol] and travis filmed it. next time, we're doing a song from a skylit drive. we're so cool.

friday, kelsi, mari and i walked over to travis and tommy's house. tommy totally pwns at DDR.

anyway, after almost choking on our pizza from funny stories, we played some gamecube and took a load of hilarious pictures. most of them are on my myspace. after laying in the street, playing a round of never have i ever and lame t or d?, it was time to leave. sad pandas. but we had this awesome idea of camping in someone's backyard because it was a nice night out, and we were looking at the stars.

sadly, tommy and travis couldn't go, so it was just kelsi, mari and me. we pitched a tent in my backyard, ate a lot of food, and didn't fall asleep until 2. i don't know why, but kelsi and i woke up at 6. sometime later we moved to my room, where we slept for another four hours.

*sigh* today mari went home. that makes me very sad. i wont see her for months. stupid arizona.

from dinner to dinner

2007-06-04T20:35:53Z

Holy crap. I just spent an ass-load of time with one person. It was like, 22 hours I think, I’m not too sure. LOL, I’ll start from the beginning. On Saturday, I was extremely bored around 6:00 pm. So what do I do when I’m bored? Go on myspace of course. And who do I talk to a crazy amount on myspace? (Okay this one is new so it’s okay if you don’t know) Well the answer is Kelsi. She also happened to be bored. And we were both hungry. Mmmm… food. Right, back to the story. We decided that we wanted to eat at Chilies (hehehe... sorry inside joke, I have to spell it like that.) She and her dad came and picked me up and off we went. The food was good. :) I realized that I laugh when I eat. I laugh a lot. We figured out that it was because I’m not talking so I have plenty of time to just think. And trust me, the things that happen in my mind are funny.

After dinner we had to wait for my dad to come and pick us up. So we were sitting outside listening in to PotterCast. <3 I was cold, so I sat very close to her, I mean body heat works. And that is where it started. My dad came and got us and we went back to my house. I didn’t have my HP Scene It? I lent it to someone. :( But I did have my computer. That, by the way was going extremely slow because it had been on for 48 hours. (It had to be restarted) Somewhere in here the neighbors started setting off fireworks. :::grins::: Those were cool. Very big ones really. It was cold out there still so I needed a hug. LOL my head ended up in her cleavage where I figured out that it was warm. :)

A few hours later my dad came in and asked us when Kelsi was going to go home. It was about 11:00, but I wasn’t ready for her to leave. I told her as much too. So I made her stay and she spent the night. Wow, this is when we start getting weird. We were talking to David on Skype, and made weird videos. This is something that I think you just have to see. I’ll put it at the bottom of the post. We did this for a few hours. And yes it really did keep us entertained.

And then it was time for bed. I don’t even know when we went to bed. 3:00 or 3:30. Anyway, this was fun… hahaha I’m leaving that, even if it does sound dirty. I tickled Kelsi’s arm. She likes it when people do that, and I find it very amusing. Both her liking it so much and I like making invisible patterns.

Wake up time! Now this is where I am very confused. What the hell? We woke up at 10:30. Really if you know me, you know that I don’t wake up this early on the weekends. I just don’t. But I did and I wasn’t even that tired. It was strange for me. Kelsi got out of bed and I bet you know what the first thing she did was. Yep, turn on the computer. (just in case you don’t know, we are complete computer whores) Let me make it very clear what we did for the next, 6 and a half hour. Cuddle then go on myspace. Yeah, that’s it. Nothing else. Oh, I think we had some food once at like 11:00, but that is it. And It was fun, we are not lame. We rock. Get it straight.

After 7 hours of doing the same thing, we thought it would be a good idea to get out of the house. So we went to Kelsi’s house so she could get changed… who needs clean clothes? And after that we walked to Lodi Lake. Oh, and before I forget, I would like to point out that we were at her house for about 20 minutes and we had the computer on and were on the internet. Yeah, it’s that bad. Anyway, we went to Lodi Lake and sat there. It was pretty and I was afraid of the geese. Don’t laugh. I really don’t like geese. They scare the crap out of me. So me being afraid and whatnot, pretty much sat on Kelsi’s lap. We are not lesbians, I swear. We got some pretty weird looks. It was funny.

Hunger sets in every once in a while so we went to Fosters. On the way we walked with our arms around each other. Funny stuff. We couldn’t figure out if it was better or worse than holding hands, so we did that too. When I first grabbed her hand we were walking down Turner and this old lady driving towards us totally stared us down. That made me laugh. I was just saying that I knew a whole bunch of people that lived on Turner and someone we knew was going to see us, when we saw Kaitlin and Ali. See, people we know saw us walking down the street holding hands. I find this very amusing, I really do. By the time we got to Fosters, I was really hungry. We ate at. It was good. I wanted to see Pirates again, but we didn’t have enough money. Bummer.

Blockbuster was our next stop. I hugged Kelsi on the corner of the street and one of my friends, Clara, saw me. I didn’t see her at the time. (When I got home she IMed me about it) We didn’t end up getting a movie because my mommy said that I couldn’t have anymore hang out time if I wanted to do anything for the next 3 days. So I picked to just stop while I was ahead. I was sitting outside, waiting for my dad to show up and our two cups and my bag of food blew off the table. Well my food didn’t because I caught it, but the drinks were gone. *Sigh* It was funny. There was a lot of funny going around yesterday.

After that we dropped Kelsi off and my day died. Yeah, pretty much. I got home and just sat in front of my computer. I talked to Tommy for a while. I talked to Mari too. But after that, I just went to bed, Oh, wait even after being with each other for 20 hours or how ever long it was, Kelsi and I still talked on myspace yesterday after she got home. We’re sad, I know, but still freaking awesome.

oh dear... not again

2007-05-30T23:26:37Z

Well fuck. I am doing it again. Let's start from the top shall we? Okay, about a year and a half ago, I fell majorly hard for someone I had no chance with. Not even a maybe. It was a NO FUCKING WAY, kind of deal. Well it took me forever to get over that. I pick myself up off of the floor and a few months later I start to do it again. I mean really? Do I have to do this to myself? Oh my God. I'm a freaking idiot. I should have seen this coming from a mile away, but no, I chose to be blind and it smacked me in the face.

I like someone. I like them alot. It's never gonna happen. Not even close. It's starting to hurt and I know that it only gets suckier from here. Maybe I should distance myself? I don't really know if I can. And I definitely know that I don't want to. This is going to hurt. It might be more painful than last time. I don't know it I can do this. I need something to... I don't know, distract me, maybe.

Brace yourself for a messed up me, I know I am.

Friends are nice things to have

2007-05-27T09:10:32Z

I saw Pirates with Kelsi (go read her blog here: http://omgadandelion.com/) and Steven. It was alot of fun. It was a long night and I don't feel like writing everything out. So, I'll sum it all up with things I learned.

- I don't stay at at a school rally often

- There is stuff on the ground outside of the movies that hurts my butt

- Sitting on the ground for 4 hours can be fun

- If you take pictures of people, people will take pictures of you

- Kelsi needs a potty break every 30 minutes

- A bag of Pirates Booty can last forever

- Kelsi is very comfortable

- At 2:30 am people start to think that I'm going to hit them with my purse

- Being tired at 2:00 in the morning, in public, is freakin hilarious

- 3 hours of sleep is not enough

So yeah that was my adventure on Thursday night/ Friday morning. School sucked ass. But I got over that once I got home. Kelsi and I went to Borders on Friday night. Books make us happy. We both love Harry Potter tons. This video of Kelsi when she saw the Harry Potter table proves it.

I love the fandom

2007-05-14T17:44:37Z

I understand this. That scares me, just a little bit. "OMG, an H/G kiss!"

For the love of TV

2007-05-14T03:20:48Z

I don't really watch TV that much. Strange, I know, for a teenager. But I just don't. But there is a show that I like. No, I love this show. South of Nowhere. SoN, SoNo. There are many names for it. I just think it's good. It's very angsty and teen-ish. But well that is what I am. It plays on the-N. If you haven't seen it you should. One of the best things about the show, are the fan videos. I even made one. I think that SoN fans are trying to break YouTube with all of them.

Long live the Spashley!

I didn't make this! But I think its funny.

The feeling of no feelings

2007-05-14T00:56:45Z

Yuck. That's all I have to say. I feel like, yuck. Thanks for reading.

Okay, that's not all I have to say. Right now I'm in this mood where it seems like someone put me on pause. I'm really not having any strong emotions about anything. And really its starting to scare me. My mother was just in my room complaining about how my sister didn't do anything for her on Mother's Day. And I felt nothing. Not even sad for her. This cannot be healthy. My friends totally didn't ask me if I wanted to go to a concert with them on Friday. I wanted to go, they didn't ask. Shouldn't I feel mad about this? I don't. This is really freaking me out.
