You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be. White dress, Prince Charming who'd carry you away to a castle on a hill... You'd lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming. They were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up. One day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely 'cause almost everyone still has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they'll open their eyes and it will all come true. At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale might be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important that it's happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in a while, people may even take your breath away.

Ace and Applejack!
Seven hours later, and ten years of my life is officially over.
It's insane, isn't it?

Amazon's telling me that my copy of HP:DH is 15 minutes away in Monroe, where it arrived at 10:30am yesterday. SO WHY ISN'T IT HERE YET??? WHERE THE FUCK IS THE UPS GUY?

Meet our scrapyard dogs...

This is Penny. She is old, and adorable. She only loves you if her owner is in the room - if he's out of her sight, she gets ornery.

And this is Plato. He is the fattest Chihuahua ever. He barks when the door buzzer goes off, and then runs away. He hates my camera, so this is the closest thing I have to a good picture of him.

HP question time! And no, this will not spoil you for anything - it's just something Nick asked about and now I'm curious.
Where the heck are Harry's grandparents? On either side? I don't think we've been given any facts regarding them, but I could just be forgetting. Are they alive? Dead? Died of old age or murder? Etc, etc. Any opinions?
ETA: The HP Lexicon says James' parents "died between 1976 and 1981...elderly, even by wizarding standards, and died from a wizarding illness...There is 'nothing sinister' about [their] deaths." It also says Lily's parents died before 1981, but do we know this for sure?

I want an iPhone so, so, so bad. I got to play with one in the Mac store today, and it was flippin' sweet.
OMFG, FANDOM COLLISION. Alton Brown is making pretzels, and he's using Lye, and he was like "See that little symbol from the pirate flag? It doesn't mean Johnny Depp gets a percentage of the profits from every bottle, it means it's poison. And, as every Fight Club fan knows, it's essential for making soap - oh, I just broke the first rule. Oh well."
Three fandoms in one? AWESOME DEFINED.

I NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE BEFORE I GO CRAZY.
I wish I had sneakers that were useable for running or something, and work-out clothes would be nice too.
Fuck.

I'm alive, I promise. I just haven't felt like updating recently. I don't really have anything to update about, I guess.
Isn't my life exciting?

This will tell you a lot about my family, and my father in particular. Dad and I went to get lunch and groceries and ended up with three new cars. Yeah. He got a new truck to tow his trailer for the racecar, my brother got an Subaru Impreza WRX STI (the exact one he wanted), and I got a silver 2006 Impreza. Yeah, I got a car. I don't even know.

If you are seeing Pirates, or saw it and are planning to again, STAY AFTER THE CREDITS. Like the last two, there's a little treat for anyone who hangs around until the end. And trust me, you should definitely stay.

Queenie in the foreground (she's pregnant!), Ace and Applejack behind her. Queenie is 7, Ace is her 3 year old son, and Applejack is her 6 month old daughter.
Applejack, licking some salt. Mmm.
Ace, Queenie, and AJ's legs, lol.
Ace and his mom Queenie.
Tails!
So yeah, they have names. I picked Ace and AJ, and dad was calling the mom Queenie and it just stuck. ♥
