Everyone is getting old.<br />2. Why do the JoBros have their own show? They're becoming less popular.<br />3. The Hannah Montana theme song montage is different...there isn't a "mix it all together" motion.<br />4. Miley/Hannah has a song about ice cream, which makes up for #3.<br />5. Wizards of Waverly Place makes me laugh more than it should<br /><br /><br />Work:<br /><br />1. I have way too much energy when I'm at Flair.<br />2. A little kid hissed at me 2 weeks ago.<br />3. Yesterday, a girl who looked about seven years old came in with her mom. The girl had long blonde pigtails, a pink tank top, a blue flowered skirt, a jacket tied around her little waist, pink flowered socks that went up to her knees (maybe past her knees), and gold ballet flats. She picked out a stuffed animal. She was kind of quiet. Her name was Heather. I swear to God, she was a blonde, pale version of me at seven.<br />4. A dog pulled her owner into the store the other day because we always give her (the dog, not the owner) treats. The woman wasn't even planning on coming in. The dog literally dragged her. I love smart animals. <br /><br /><br />Hey Monday:<br /><br />Ler and I saw Hey Monday play at Harper's Ferry in Boston and they were phenomenal. All the opening bands looked the same (read: all emo punk boys with longer hair than Cassadee, the singer of Hey Monday) but they were entertaining. One of the singers jumped into the crowd. Big mistake, considering 99% of the audience consisted of fourteen year old girls. Also, during one of the set changes, "I'm on a Boat" played and the people at Harper's Ferry turned it up really loud and people sang. The tall kid next to me was very excited about it. We met Cassadee and I got a picture with her. And this was the first show I went to where I got a wristband instead of Xs on my hands. I'm getting old.

He could not attack. I have a dragon, it hides under my bed with its lunchbox. He is green with a spiky tail, but not like the one in Harry Potter, oh no, you can't get me, I'm flying on my Firebolt, cumulus nimbus, my head in the sky.<br /><br />Because I am the the walrus, the walnut, nutterbutter, butterfingers.HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-59824794414591638732009-06-30T15:58:00.000-07:002009-06-30T15:59:22.977-07:00Musical marriage proposal<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">If anyone tried to do this for me, I'd kill them.</span><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IpojZ0COU3Y&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IpojZ0COU3Y&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-62947458998248227412009-06-26T06:17:00.001-07:002009-06-26T06:18:09.929-07:00We may not have a football team, but we have a damn good Quidditch team.MTV made a Quidditch commercial to promote HP6 and the Emerson Quidditch team is in it.<br /><br /><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:403904" width="512" height="319" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="configParams=vid%3D403904%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A403904%26startUri={startUri}" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" base="."></embed><div style="margin:0;text-align:center;width:500px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/trailer_park/" style="color:#439CD8;" target="_blank">Movie Trailers</a> - <a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/" style="color:#439CD8;" target="_blank">Movies Blog</a></div><br /><br />I'm pretty sure we're the ones in the green capes.HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-20575326205848024902009-06-22T06:54:00.001-07:002009-06-22T06:57:06.032-07:00Beautiful movies.Tim Burton is redoing Alice and Wonderland and judging from the <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-06-22-wonderland-art_N.htm">photos</a>, it's going to be <a href="http://www.movieweb.com/news/NELOLSQMOL85PU">beautiful</a>.HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-7090901853442578782009-06-19T09:53:00.000-07:002009-06-19T10:00:22.711-07:00If you're not familiar with the table flip, you're probably not from New Jersey.<h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" ft="{"type":"msg"}"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.bravotv.com/o/4657041ec2a2cf53/4a3bc40b0746f0f7/4657041ec2a2cf53/46f4fd31/-cpid/7de3cdb469957d29" id="W4657041ec2a2cf534a3bc40b0746f0f7" width="400" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://widgets.bravotv.com/o/4657041ec2a2cf53/4a3bc40b0746f0f7/4657041ec2a2cf53/46f4fd31/-cpid/7de3cdb469957d29"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></object><br /><a href="http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/videos/breaking-down-the-table-flip" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a></h3>HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-19756013320845170942009-06-18T07:09:00.001-07:002009-06-18T07:09:44.377-07:00HP House.<p><b>Ravenclaw</b> values intelligence, creativity, wit, and wisdom. <i>"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure"</i> is an oft-repeated Ravenclaw proverb.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix" title="Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix">[HP5]</a></sup><sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Deathly_Hallows" title="Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows">[HP7]</a></sup> The house mascot is a raven, the house colours are blue and bronze (changed to blue and silver in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_films" title="Harry Potter films" class="mw-redirect">films</a>). The head of this house is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charms" title="Charms" class="mw-redirect">Charms</a> professor, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filius_Flitwick" title="Filius Flitwick" class="mw-redirect">Filius Flitwick</a>, and the house ghost is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogwarts_staff#The_Grey_Lady" title="Hogwarts staff">The Grey Lady</a>. According to Rowling, Ravenclaw corresponds roughly to the element of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_%28classical_element%29" title="Air (classical element)">air</a>. The founder of this house is Rowena Ravenclaw.</p> <p>The dormitories are located in Ravenclaw Tower on the west side of the school. The common room, which went undescribed in the series until the climax of <i>Deathly Hallows,</i> is round and filled with blue hangings and fat armchairs, has a domed ceiling painted with stars, and also features a replica statue of Rowena wearing her diadem. Harry also notes that, by day, the Ravenclaws <i>"would have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains."</i> A logical riddle must be solved in order to gain entry, whereas the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin common rooms only require a password.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Source: Wikipedia<br /></p>HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-26157339469361022112009-06-14T17:35:00.000-07:002009-06-14T17:49:35.109-07:00Bahaha Boston.Allison and I went to the Red Hat tonight because on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays they have 10 cent wings after 5pm. We split 20 wings ("split..." I had 16) and each had a pint of Red Hat beer, and towards the end of our meal, a few people came in and apparently someone ordered a big salad. And one of the guys brought up the big salad every few minutes. In a ten minute span, I think he said "big salad" at least fifteen times. "Eileen just likes big salad. Man, isn't that a big salad? Yeah, it's a big salad. She just likes big salads!" I kept laughing. The beer encouraged me to keep laughing because I've become a lightweight, and being tipsy makes it hard to control my giggles.<br /><br />Then another guy entered, a short man wearing Croqs, and decided to stir up trouble. By commenting on the big salad. The two men almost got into a fight (over the big salad) and "big salad" was said another twenty or so times. The bartender had to yell at them and told them if they were going to fight, they had to take it outside. He didn't want them talking to each other. Then the big salad was brought up again. And then they finally gave up.<br /><br />We left and decided to buy beer on the walk home, stopping at the liquor store we've been to a few times. As we were paying for the six pack of Coronas, the guy ringing us in asked us what we were up to tonight. Without shame, I told him we were going home to watch Daisy of Love. He didn't know what we were talking about. The other guy that worked there interrupted and was familiar with Daisy, but we had to explain that it was trashy reality TV about a trashy girl who was famous for being on another trashy show.<br /><br />When we left, we ended up walking behind people with a dog that kept barking at people. It barked at a homeless man. The homeless guy's response was "down, killah!

Blair was my favorite character in the Gossip Girl series and I didn't think anyone could do her justice. But the series has become so different from the books that I'm able to enjoy it; I've only seen the first season but plan on watching the second (it's one of those shows I like watching multiple episodes of in a row), and Leighton is a great actress and also quite gorgeous. She's featured in a Cobra Starship song, </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG_OmEujz54">Good Girls Go Bad</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">, which, true to the Cobra style, is really catchy, and also did a cover of Bette Davis Eyes, available </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG_OmEujz54">here</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">. (That link may not work, but go to her </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://ilike.com/artist/Leighton+Meester/songs">iLike</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> page and click "Play all.") She surprised me again--I didn't think I'd like her voice, but I love it and can't wait for her CD to come out. Or leak. One or the other. </span>HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-12441962830994556102009-06-09T08:12:00.000-07:002009-06-09T08:13:49.675-07:00iPhone App wallApple has a wall of iPhone apps, arranged by color, and whenever someone purchases an app, the one on the wall pulsates.<br /><br /><br />See photo/video <a href="http://i.gizmodo.com/5284198/apples-huge-throbbing-wall-of-iphone-apps">here</a>.HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-90654925575602470882009-06-09T06:50:00.000-07:002009-06-09T06:52:36.706-07:00More "Housewives!"There's going to be a DC season of Real Housewives.<br /><br /><br /><br />Dear Bravo, thanks for continually feeding my addiction.

Every two seconds I think "the book of what?") and not going to church. I don't remember the last time I went to church. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> My connection with religion is weird. I believe in the basis of what I'm supposed to but don't agree with half of what the church says/does. I went to the Vatican when I was in Europe and felt like most Catholics do when they make the trek there (the Pope spoke to us and then it started pouring on is...we blamed Morgan because she's Jewish and "God got mad that there's a Jew at the Vatican." Ha. Still one of my favorite quotes from Fall 2007). I like the story of Jesus's birth and how people in other countries do recreations of it, and I hate when non-Christians celebrate Christmas. We sell The Willow Tree products at work, and there's a replica of the Nativity Scene that I kind of want because it's pretty (The Willow Tree line in general is wonderful), with a two foot tall Mary and a bunch of animals and the like. The Nativy Scene we have at home is, honest to God, one of mice. A little mouse Mary, a baby mouse Jesus, three Wise Mice, etc. They're all clothed, Jesus mouse is in a manger. I forget when my mom and I found it, but I made her buy the entire scene. I've always had an obsession with human-esque animals, which is one of the reasons I have always loved Disney movies. </span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> And I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell. I've broken a bunch of commandments already (and I had to look on Wikipedia to see what they actually are, in order.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">1. I am the Lord your god, you shall have no other gods before me.<br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Given the choice between a Jesus statue and an ice cream cone, I'm pretty sure I'd take the ice cream cone. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">2. You shall not make wrongful use of the name your God. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> Do it everyday. "Oh my god" comes out of my mouth almost as much as "that's like that Friends episode." </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">3. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> I have to leave for work in a couple of hours. Day of rest and rememberance? Nope. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">4. Honor your mother and father. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> My philosophy when I was little was "you yell at me, I'll yell back." And that only applied to my parents. Outside my house, I was perfection. Inside my house, I was a demon. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">5. You shall not kill. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> Bugs only. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">6. You shall not commit adultery. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> This one apparently includes lusting, masturbation, homosexuality, premarital sex, divorce, and birth control. Which means I've broken it, as well as 99% of the people I know, and most of America. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">7. You shall not steal. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> Hannah Montana sunglasses in WalMart and a bunch of postcards from a museum in London. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> I'm not a great liar, but I can do it if necessary. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">9. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> Oops? </span><b style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><br /><br /> </b><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">10. Neither shall you desire your neighbor's house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> I'm the most jealous person I know. I covet everything.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Oy. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">But really, the book is very good. I promise. </span>HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-72400995608612516202009-06-06T07:20:00.000-07:002009-06-06T07:21:07.991-07:00In other words, "To terrify children."<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.cracked.com/article_17256_17-more-images-you-wont-believe-arent-photoshopped.html">Images you won't believe aren't photoshopped.</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">My favorite is number 11--the giant rubber duck. </span>HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-34230262294671969192009-06-03T09:52:00.000-07:002009-06-03T10:07:32.260-07:00Cedric Diggory died and became this.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090527/Twilight/new-moon-italy1_l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090527/Twilight/new-moon-italy1_l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Other pictures <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20234559_20234565_20279381,00.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><br />Still undecided about whether or not I'll see New Moon in theatres.HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-84363043687312036322009-06-03T09:51:00.000-07:002009-06-03T09:52:09.924-07:00Ugh.

However, the fourth and fifth movies (and most likely the 6th) are gorgeous; even though there are things missing and certain characters are overshadowed, the movies are fabulous in terms of cinematography. It's just one more thing that makes HP superior to Twilight--so much production goes into the movies and they're not just banged out in order to get money.<br /><br />Also, I just love Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham Carter.HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-41428121761181511372009-06-01T16:50:00.000-07:002009-06-01T17:20:39.913-07:00<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">My feelings towards the castle have changed from aching nostalgic desires to be there instead of where ever I am into a more wistful sense of remembering. I'd love to go back, obviously, but the circumstances would have to be almost the exact same as when I was there the first time; instead of needing it, like most of us have felt since we returned to the States, I think I've reached the point where it's fun to look back on but I no longer feel as if things could never be better than then. Maybe I'm finally getting over it/growing up, or maybe I'm putting too much faith in how LA will be. I don't know. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I really should put my photos on Flickr. </span>HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908884704911014012.post-72117813055599654362009-05-29T11:51:00.000-07:002009-05-29T12:02:29.805-07:00Not all traditions are worth keeping.<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntC0PNHFRgU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntC0PNHFRgU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Thanks to <a href="http://www.lifebeginsat31.com/">Tracie</a> for showing me this. It just goes to show that people arguing against homosexuality "because the Bible says it's wrong" and that keeping gays and lesbians from marrying "protects the sanctity of marriage" should stop and think about what they're saying. The divorce rate in this country keeps growing, people get married out of wedlock and because they're forced to--how is that protecting the "sanctity" of marriage? And, like the video pointed out, premarital sex is not only accepted, but expected; a large majority of people don't wait to have sex until they're married, but churches don't freak out about that detail. <br /><br />I really just don't understand how you can deny someone his or her happiness. So gay marriages are nontraditional. So what? A wedding with a seven-months-pregnant woman isn't traditional, either. And don't try to argue that a civil union is the same thing as a marriage; the government doesn't value them equally, and there are <a href="http://www.equalitymatters.org/equality_matters/static/full_reasons">1,138 rights</a> denied gays and lesbians who can't marry. How is denying happiness okay?HeatherBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08786913748260100522noreply@blogger.com0
