Walk-around
So my school's walk-around was this morning. It went well. I found my way to classes and my new locker and such. I got to see some friends that I haven't seen in a while. My locker is now decorated with photos of Tom Felton, Anne Frank, and The Beatles.
I'm pretty excited for my classes this year. We're studying the Holocaust and WWII, and we're going to read Anne's diary and watch the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". I've read that book but not seen the movie. Has anyone seen the movie? Is it good?
Now I'm really excited for school!

The beginning of a new school year
So for most of us, school has either already started or is starting really soon.
And for those of you who know me, you know that I started at a new school last year, and that I'm kind of (very) nervous to return to this school this year, but I had one thing, and one person, that have really made me less frightened on the whole.
I was reading one of my favorite books, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl the other day, and I got to thinking about Anne's take on life today. She says that it's impossible to be sad if you go outside and take a moment to be at one with nature- with God.
My mom and I were talking the other day, and she told me one of her favorite quotes. "No one can make you feel inferior whithout your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt. This quote is now my mantra, and I don't know if my mom knows it, but in telling me that quote, and simply being there to listen to me stress and vent and ramble, she helped me a whole lot. I love you, Mom. :) You're the best.
I know this is a serious post, coming from me, a girl that you normally expect to talk about music, or actors, or other things, some less profound than others, but it's what's on my mind right now.
So I'd like to just give a shout-out to anyone who's struggling with anything right now, whether it's school, or family, or friends, or anything! I want to say that you're not alone, and that people suffer these inflictions daily. If you have faith, keep believing in yourself, and don't mind what those "popular" people say.
And keep this in mind: "I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything." John Lennon. But I feel there should be an added "or anyone" in there.

John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Jeremiah 1:4-10
Now the word of the Lord came to me saying,
'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.'
Then I said, 'Ah Lord God! Behold,
I do not know how to speak,
for I am only a youth.'
But the Lord said to me,
'Do not say, "I am only a youth;"
for to all to whom I send you you shall go,
and whatever I command you you shall speak.
Be not afraid of them,
For I am with you to deliver you,'
says the Lord.
Then the Lord put forth his hand
and touched my mouth; and the Lord said to me,
'Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
See, I have set you this day over nations and over
kingdoms,
to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and overthrow,
to build and to plant.

But the Lord said to me,

This one is a really great track off of "A Hard Day's Night", called "If I Fell". It's an earlier song, but it's a great ballad by John, and it's cool to hear the softer, more lovable side of him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ets2eNJzhY
The video is an actual clip from the movie "A Hard Day's Night". Nai, I know you hated the movie, but at least you'll know what I'm talking about.
And this song is a hysterical country riff from our favorite Paul McCartney :) and yes, in the video, John uses his elbows on the keyboard :):):) This video is from their BLACKPOOL CONCERT 1965!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGdliCIksds&feature=related
This song is of Paul talking to me during the concert that I went to the other week. You can't hear my voice, but near the end of the video, when he goes, "All right, thank you!" it's to me :)

And this is a video of LAUREN LOPEZ AS MALFOY IN A VERY POTTER MUSICAL!

New poll
Haha, Snape won by 8-0. I love that.
Anyways, my new poll is a question that has been asked since humans could talk: Coke or Pepsi? And since you can't see the answers, the top one is Coke, bottom is Pepsi.

Haha my cousin and I are INSANE
Last night, I spent the night at my cousin Julie's house. She's my age and one of the best friends I have. It also helps that she's in love with all things Harry Potter and Pendragon (BTW, if any of you haven't read the Pendragon books, read them. Please.).
So when we got to her house (she lives 2 hours away from me), we immediately ran down to her bedroom and turned on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. After that wonderful movie ended, we turned on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the next in the Potter series. And, yup, you guessed it. We turned on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban. We watched that twice. And by the time we finished with POA, it was ten p.m., and we were hopped up on sugar. And Draco Malfoy.
In the first picture, we consumed Lays chips, Coke, Ding-Dongs, Sour Patch Kids, Sqwigglies, and Mike n Ikes, and watched Harry Potter and talked over and over and over about Pendragon.
And then this morning we watched POA again and played with her chickens and cats (she lives on a farm).
Oh yeah. Did I mention we had Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince playing all through the night? :)

Unnamed beginning of a story
"Auf, auf!" screamed the kapo. Mother poked me in the arm. "Up, Hanneli, up!" she ordered.
I sighed. I had been dreaming of life in the good times--the times before Auschwitz. My sister, Sarah, and I were just about to drink hot cocoa. But it is not wise to linger in dreams-- in wishes. There were days where I remembered Sarah and I felt like giving up. Sweet Sarah, only ten years old and they took her away! Along with baby Josef, and Papa. That was three weeks ago. We haven't seen them since.
Shaking my head to get rid of my sleepiness, Mother and I, along with out four bunkmates, scrambled out of our "bed" to await permission to march--in careful single-file lines-- out to the Appellplatz.
"Dreckigen Schweine, jetzt gehen!" Filthy swine, go now. Ruth, a girl in the bunk next to mine, leaned over and muttered, "She's being nicer than usual today!" Managing a small smile, I turned forward again and marched.

To osumone: Answer
To answer your question, osumone, if I were to be sorted into one of Hogwarts' Houses, I'd wish it to be Gryffindor, but seeing as I'm not brave at all, I'd be a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. To contradict Malfoy in Book 1, if I were put in Slytherin, not Hufflepuff, I'd leave.
That leaves me with a question for all of you. Please comment on this post telling which House you'd be sorted into. :)

Just a couple things
Okay. First thing: I put up a new poll on my blog, but you can't see it because the text is black on a black photo, so I'll tell you the answers. The one on top is "Snape" and the bottom one is "Voldemort".
Second thing: Tomorrow morning, my family and I leave for my grandparent's lake house, and we'll get back on Monday the 8th, but I won't have wifi up there, so no blogging. Sorry, it's the truth. :D
I can't believe it's already August 3! I mean, school starts soon, and this year is a big milestone, so it's like, great, summer's over!

He spoke to me
Now, I know some, probably ALL of you readers might think this is a joke, a gag, a rag over your eyes that I'm pulling, but it's not.
Tonight's concert was the BEST, most AMAZING night of my life. EVER. NO QUESTIONS. Seeing Paul was amazing, breathing the same air he was breathing was amazing, and if course, his music was amazing. But the best part? During his first encore, I don't even remember what song he had just finished singing, when I yelled, "PAULIE YOU'RE AMAZING!" and he looked up to my general direction, and REPLIED! He said, "All right, thank you!" and I didn't hear anything after that because my mom had grabbed me and we were both screaming like, well, like Paul McCartney had just spoken to one of us!
I started sobbing, (and not for the first time, either. The moment he first walked on stage and I saw PAUL MCCARTNEY, I burst into tears. And on and on throughout the concert.) and had to sit down. However, mom pulled me back up because Macca had just started singing "Birthday", and I love that song. She reassured me that I could cry my eyes out for the entire car ride home, which I'm about to start doing once I publish this phone-post. So, yes, dear, lovely, wonderful readers, I talked to Paul McCartney. And he replied.
