A Monumentally Nerdy Occasion

In 4 days and 16 or so hours, I will be sitting in a theater watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1). This is unbelievable… As many of you know, I am a HUGE Harry Potter person. Huge. And so, I am obviously quite thrilled by this impending occasion. I am, to put it frankly, freaking out. This Friday will forever go down in Nerd History! I could sit here and ramble on about Harry Potter for a while, but I honestly doubt that anyone else cares. So, I'll continue on to other matters…

I stopped posting again. I'm just so boring, I honestly have nothing to blog about. My life is school, school, school right now. So, here's a quick rundown of this FANTABULOUS week that is lying ahead of me, and some other random things that are on my mind. Sound good? Good.

1. Harry Potter (see above)
   
2. New phone! I finally ordered a new phone after the whole dropping-mine-in-the-lake debacle which occurred over the summer. I fixed it with rice, but it hasn't been the same since. If you have tried texting me recently, you know that the "I" and "a" keys are nonfunctional. T mkes wrtng nd recevng messges slghtly nnoyng. So, yeah. It's been a long time coming. My phone is really eligible for an upgrade until February, so I was waiting for that reason. But it got unbearable. So I was like, what the heck, Ma! Buy me a new phone! It was between a few choices, but I eventually decided not to go for the shmancy fancy one (Blackberry Torch) and got a Samsung Solstice. Almost got the Mythic, then heard an awful review from my cousin. So, yeah. I'm EXCITED! Hopefully it isn't total crap like my last phone! It arrives Tuesday. YAY.
   
3. I was planning a trip to Montreal next week, but ended up cancelling it. I was going to go see HP in IMAX and stay a few days, but then I decided I really couldn't wait 5 days after the premiere date to see it. Plus, passport crapola. Nevertheless, we are rescheduling our trip to Christmas. Which brings me to my next topic….
   
4. CHRISTMAS! Yes, folks, Christmas is looming ahead. Whether you celebrate Christmas or any other holiday, it's still a fantastic time of year- my favorite! I am absolutely so excited! I can't wait to break out the NSYNC Christmas album and bake some sugar cookies. Can't wait to get a tree in a few weeks, and decorate my house to look like a giant disco ball! Whoopee! Oh, that reminds me! General Announcement: I will again be having my henceforth ANNUAL Cookie Party again this year! Planning is in the works! (You know who you are!)
   
5. In other Winter-tastic news is the impending arrival of our favorite thing- snow. Okay, backtrack. Maybe it hasn't been my favorite thing in the past. In fact, I hate it! But this year, something is different. Last year, as most of you know, I couldn't do much of anything after my accident in September. This year, though, I've been cleared to hit the slopes and I absolutely cannot wait to get back to the mountains! Now, you ask- skiing or snowboarding? Skiing, of course! I snowboard on occasion, too. I used to be really into it, but I eventually went back to skiing. I've been skiing since what, age one? Since I was able, pretty much. It's a family thing. If I could give three words to describe my family (my extended family), they would go as follows: Doctors, Skiiers, okay, wait. I need 5 words. Doctors, Skiiers, Chess-players, Musicians, and they know how to throw a hell of a party! Actually, I should probably add Boston Red Sox, Lobster, Cribbage and practical jokes to that list. Wow, I could go on for ages. My family is quite the bunch, I must say…
   

So, that's basically what's going on with me. Thanksgiving is coming up, and it's a bummer this year. We usually go somewhere tropical, but there were complications this year and we didn't go anywhere. Not even to Kentucky! So, we're stuck at home. My grandmother usually makes us Thanksgiving dinners on years that we stay home, but due to miscommunications she thought we were going somewhere so she planned her own vacation. My other grandparents are in Florida, so we basically have no one to celebrate with. I guess it's my Dad's year to have me for Thanksgiving anyway, so I'll be spending it with him. Wow. My "Dad's year". I sound like one of those kids who gets tossed around between parents for holidays, and other days for that matter. I always felt so bad for those kids. I guess that's me now.

Well, that wraps it all up! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I certainly have lots to be thankful for this year! For now, I'll start by thanking you all. Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring. (I hope!)
