I wish I was Princess Leia
I wish Mom would’ve named me Leah. That would’ve been close enough.
Victoria’s Secret can make anyone feel fancy.
When In Middle-Earth, FOLLOW THE ROAD. You’re not smarter than Elrond. You’re not going to find a shortcut.
I’m tired of watching Yoda die!
The mall just sucks after “The Holidays” are over
Women love the scoundrels.
Corduroy jackets are THE BOMB
It’s never lupus
Goblins are a pain in the arse…
“I know” can be two truly romantic words.

Memories of Rush (from 2009)
I thought this would be cool to post, since I'm currently celebrating Rush Hashanah and everything...
Journal entry from March 3, 2009:
Here's another day of my life wasted. But Geddy and Alex are on That Metal Show! Talking about Rockband 2. They're horrible - so they say...
Eddie: "You mean you don't sound like thet original guys?"
Alex: "No, we dont even look like the original guys."
Most rockstars have sex and do drugs during intermission.
Geddy Lee checks his fantasy baseball scores. "Cause that's how exciting we are!"
These guys are hilarious!
"We're just not smart enough to sell out."
"We don't get excited, we're Canadian."
And it's over :(
And yay! Rush movie! In Rio! I sooooo wanted to see them in concert :(
Geddy's an old guy who can move! Ha! There's the dryers!
In the first 3 songs Alex used 3 guitars.
Tom Sawyer is a good opener.
Yay, The Trees! That's cool - Alex had an acoustic hanging above his electric guitar.
THAT WAS AWESOME! He switched drumsets!!! Freewill now :)
The fans are so awesome. They bowdown and chant!
Alex has Mr Potato Head on his amp. Here it comes...no! Where's the bass solo? (during Closer to the Heart)
"We need to take a short break...do osme brain surgery."
They had a dragon movie...and the stage caught on fire...that was awesome!
He's got all kinds of stuff on his amps! And here comes the lazer show...
"Something a little different..." Wait, isn't all Rush different?
Geddy's playing a 6-string acoustic. Resist! I know this one!
Lighters!
2112... Has to be... :)
Hey! Geddy's got a red bass.
Well. That was shorter than I thought. They only did part of 2112. I was wondering the other day if anyone will even know who Rush is in 2112. Well, we're about 1/4 of the way there.
And it's over :( Where's Rythym Method? Grr
A guy in the credits last name was Arrowsmith. How cool is that?
The whole setlist was in the credits - they just cut it (Rythym Method) out for TV.
They're the one band that the bass truly overpowers. (Sorry Jonesy)

Harry Potter fanfiction: Trouble with Floo Powder!
I apparently apparated home last night, then used the wrong Floo Powder to get back to the beach and found myself in Diagon Alley. I was terrified at first. What had gone wrong? How much time did I have to get back? Damn floo powder! And to make matters worse, I had committed Underage magic! By a Muggle-born no less! I was on the run from the Ministry!
I looked around quickly and slipped through of the shadows, trying to stay hidden in my Muggle clothes. “Maybe they’ll understand” I thought as I snuck along an alleyway. “It was only an accident, after all.” Then I heard something behind me and I panicked, grabbing my wand tightly. I just knew it was a Death Eater, and my thoughts raced out of control. I finally forced my eyes shut and wheeled around, ready to fight! As I turned around, something huge hit me, and I was knocked to the ground. I looked up slowly, afraid of what doom awaited me. I was greeted by a towering figure standing in the shadows...I knew I was as good as dead. In a brief moment of mental chaos, I wondered how Muggles would explain my death to my mother…
I was on the verge of a panic attack when it roared down at me
"Oh my, sorry about that! Didn’t see yer there! Well I... Chrissy!" And Hagrid was picking me up off the cobblestone road. I was so relieved that once he stopped hitting me and trying to brush the dust off, I quickly explained what had happened in a rush of emotion (I was still very nervous, being on the run from The Ministry and all). He reassured me that it would be ok, The Ministry would understand...Floo Powder is too unpredictable anyways. But I was still so shaken up that Hagird gave me a robe to wear and took me to the Leaky Cauldron.
Soon, Hagrid and I were sitting at a table, and I had finally started to calm down. We were joking around and he was telling me about his expectations for the upcoming year at Hogwarts. He seemed particularly worried about the Whomping Willow when a very official-looking man strutted into the pub. “Oh why does trouble have to follow me?” I muttered as he scanned the pub. Suddenly his beady eyes fell on me before I could utter my Evanesco spell. Hagrid quickly stood up; trying to hide me from view, but it was too late. I'd been spotted!
I ducked under the table, but I could hear footsteps coming closer. I decided that I couldn’t let Hagrid get in trouble for my sake, and I started to stand up and face the man myself. I hid my wand in my robe and slowly got to my feet, when I heard a deafening crash from across the pub.
I peeked around the table and Hagrid’s massive body, and saw a small boy standing nervously in the middle of the floor. He, the waiter, and the Ministry worker were drenched in Butterbeer and there were broken glasses scattered around. The waiter was already screaming and swearing at the terrified-looking boy. And the minister worker had just realized what had happened. Hagrid turned and "nudged" me to run, Almost knocking me down again... I got up, thinking of how Slytherinly I was acting and feeling a slight pang of guilt. But now was not the time to be heroic...
I took a final look at the boy, his bright red hair now dripping. He turned and spotted me as he wiped Butterbeer out of his eyes. I smiled at him and nodded my thanks, and I saw a grin creep across his face as I muttered "Evanesco". The Leaky Cauldron, Hagrid, and the boy's smiling face started fading away, but not before I heard a shrill female voice echo through the Alley...
"HUGO WEASLEY!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS TIME?"
