T Swizzle vs. Sisters

This is a picture of me and Kelsie at a football game my senior year of high school. I have always loved this picture. It was about this time that Kelsie and I stopped being enemies and started being best friends.

Here's the background. I played water polo and Kelsie was a cheerleader. My daily uniform consisted of swimming t-shirts, jeans, and a ponytail, and I had lighter hair. Kelsie, on the other hand, was more likely to dress up and look cute in popular fashions, and had darker hair. In this particular picture Kelsie came up to visit me in the bleachers between the JV and Varsity games.

Recently I realized it bears a striking resemblance to a certain popular song.

Don't we totally fit the description of the two girls in the song? Especially the part "she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts, she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleacher." Except the main difference is that Kelsie is not a man stealing witch with a B and I'm not that much of a creeper nerd. (Well maybe I am, but I'm trying really hard to convince the world otherwise. Plus, I would never acknowledge or draw attention to the fact that I was watching someone from the window, or wear a shirt like that.)

We also bear a striking resemblance to Elinor and Marianne Dashwood in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

Only one can live...

At open house in 6th grade my family went to the book fair. I've always loved stuff like that, you know, since I'm a problem reader. Well, I got this book there, it was called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Maybe you've heard of it?

I had seen my friends reading it at a class read and feed and thought it looked interesting so I asked my parents for it at the fair. At first my mom was hesitant, but finally gave in but said that my dad had to read it first.

And so began my obsession with Harry Potter. At times it has reached unhealthy proportions.

I think pretty much everybody knows I love Harry Potter, but I don't think they realize HOW much I know about it. I try to keep that on the DL. Because every once in a while when I slip up and people realized all the random facts and information I know about Harry Potter, I get really weird looks.

Anyways, to add to my weirdness, or coolness-depending on how you look at it-I saw the trailer for the very last Harry Potter movie today. And I got chills. I didn't even watch it with the sound (because I forgot my headphones today and the computers at work don't have speakers) and I got chills.

I'm such a weirdo.

But when the protective enchantments on Hogwarts start breaking apart and you know Voldemort and the Death Eaters are invading the school I just couldn't help it!

I've grown up with Harry Potter. I was 11 when I read the first book and 17 when the last one came out, so even though I wasn't trying to save wizarding-kind I could relate to Harry because we were the same age. And it seems so fitting that the final movie would come out the same summer I graduate from college. It's like we're passing into adulthood together, Harry and I.

Watch the trailer and tell me you don't get chills.

UPDATE: I just watched it again, but with sound. And it is AWESOME!!! I'm so freaking excited! Definitely got chills the second time around.

I think they knew

I'm pretty sure the boys working at Little Caesars last night knew Elsa and I had a paper due today. I'm not sure how they knew, but they did. How else would they have known to give us the best batch of Crazy Bread ever made? Seriously. It was soft and warm and yummy. I'm pretty sure they put double butter and garlic on it too. They had to have known we were going to be up all night writing and would need something yummy to make us feel better.

I thought of one bad thingabout graduating last night.

You don't get student discounts any more!

That means no more $1 Crazy Bread. And I'm going to have to start paying full price for movies again. Sad day.

But oh well. Cause you know what? I had my last class today. Ever. And I turned in my last paper today. Ever. The paper that would not have existed this morning if the boys at Little Caesar had given me a different package of Crazy Bread.

Also I watched this video last night. It made me happy that I'm a history major and could answer all these questions

Now I'm going to try and take a nap to add to the 2 hours of sleep I got last night.

This is amazing

Super cheesy, but I love it.

Green eyed monster...

...of jealousy.

It has taken over my soul.

Want to know why?

Because, Brooke, the TRAITOR, got to play with Barbie's today. She went home to sunny California and played with Barbie's today.

That's why.

And I had to go to school and work, in Utah.

And I have issues growing up and want to play with Barbie's too.

I guess I'll just have to play with my Little Mermaid Barbie sitting on my dresser. It's the only solution. And its SO much more appealing than writing my last paper.

Which reminds me of this video Kelsie shared with me.

Also, I saw this picture of Vanessa Hudgens today when I was catching up on my celebrity gossip.

Did she really think this outfit was a good idea? Everything about it is wrong.
