when we didn’t go

*lets out a breath of air* At least Indy stopped acting weird. We're not going to Nashville, we're not flying anywhere. My grandfather canceled our reservations at the hotel in Niagara. I've got to call Dad and let him know what we're doing...

when 9/11 happened, part 2

It's the most terrible thing I've seen in my life. My grandparents came into NYC yesterday, from their European trip. I'm so glad they came on home yesterday. There just aren't words to describe this. I wish I could just turn off the TV and forget about it, but you can't. I don't want to go anywhere. I want to stay here out in the nowhere where it's safe. So ...

when 9/11 happened

Oh god, now both towers have collapsed. This is so horrible.

when disaster struck, literally

Oh my god, I just turned on the TV while making "breakfast" (mom says easy mac doesn't count as breakfast). I couldn't even finish eating it, the news just made me so sick to my stomach. They've grounded all flights within the US. And if you saw my last post, you know we were about to leave today. I called my aunt, and she answered the phone with, "We're still ...

when i was packing for niagara falls

I'm packing the last of my stuff... my aunt should be here to pick me up in about 2 hours. Then to pick up Cath, and then we're driving 4 hours to Nashville to catch our 6PM flight to Cleveland. My grandparents (who went up on the weekend) will be there with a rented minivan to pick us up, and we're going to start driving towards Niagara Falls (we'll stop somewhere that ...

when i talked about the harry potter vanity fair photos

The Vanity Fair Pictures!! I'm very excited now! The pictures are so great. 1. Harry in the cupboard- He's so cute! 2. Draco & co- Crabbe and Goyle look perfect. Draco's the only one I'm not completely happy with, his hair is just SO yellow, and I don't like slicked back hair. But he's good none-the-less, perfect in the face. 3. Harry, Ron, Hermione- so cute! Especially Hermione (hermish!) Ron looks a little ...

when i didn’t ride maelstrom

HP Monthly is on hiatus for a month. Reasons listed there. I didn't add that I've run out of room on geocities - for the next update I'll have to get a new account, which is going to be a pain. ::remembers back in the days when servers didn't block direct linking and monthlies could just link directly to the artists' image:: Ahh. Those were the days, my friend. We ...

when i made random notes

Random notes. Well, last night I took a shower and then fell asleep... at 9! I went to work this morning, then came home, ate lunch, and went to school. It wasn't a good day. I couldn't find my class notebook when I came home - not that big a deal, since I could always just take notes in my other notebook and transfer them later, but I needed to know ...

when i was in chicago

Is it Tuesday already? Damn! Saturday - I actually spent the night over at my aunt's friday night, so we could get up early and head to the airport. It was very stormy here that morning, and takeoff was kind of bumpy. I learned that I can carry my suitcase on as a carry-on, which cut down the stress-level of traveling a bunch (I was always thought it was too ...
