Mkay, bloggers. As you all know, if you are nerdy enough to care, Harry Potter has finally ended. The last movie came out July 15th, 2011. A day that will go down in fangirl/fanboy history. I for one, am very disappointed. I cried when I got home from the movie.
Well, hey, my friend's mom said if any of us cried, she'd laugh. I HAD to wait until I got home.
One of my friends summed it up as this: Post Potter Depression.
Which not only has a good ring to it, it makes sense.
HP ending is not only the end of movies or books, it's the end of an era. How many Halloween costumes have you seen that were Hogwarts related? How many books? Posters? The ongoing Twilght vs Potter debate? (Which is totally obvious who should win.)
But this has all stopped. I've looked forward to these movies since I first picked up the book in the 4th grade?
Will there ever be something to satisfy the Potter Maniacs? Will there ever be a cure to Post Potter Depression?
Just Wonderin'...

Infinite Slinky
Okay, so I had a revelation today-an epiphany, if you will. I went to the mall around noonish today. It wasn't as fun a trip as I would've liked it to be. If you read my 'Heartbreak Warfare' post after this one, you'd know why. But while I was there, I had a thought. I also had some pretzels while enjoying a Free Hugs button and Blink 182 T-shirt. But back to the thought.
What if you put a slinky on the escalator?
Now, if you have put a slinky on stairs, you'd know that the slinky would bounce down the stairs. Very amusing.
So think of it on an escalator.
Now let me totally blow your mind.
A slinky on the UP escalator!
That slinky would always be going down
down
down
without a stop.
The infinite slinky!
That slinky would be repeatedly descending continuous stairs until the end of time.
Now, tell me that wouldn't be amazing! Just Wonderin'...

Heartbreak Warfare
Well, bloggers, I just had my first break-up. I'm not over it yet, considering it hurt more than anything. Which it did- I'm not going to lie. I was dumped by the guy who always told me I was beautiful, always made me smile, called me his girl, and said he was always happy as long as he was with me. So, this was TOTALLY unexpected.
Anyways, I also have the flu, so this is all going at a pretty good down-spiral.
Am I hurt? Yes. Did I cry? Yes. I wish this never happened. I wish we worked it out because he made me so happy. But one of these days, as a friend of mine has told me, I'll have to get over it. Things'll look up.
Let's hope so.
But, since I am a dweeb, I checked his Facebook page last night. All of my pictures were gone, like I expected, and he had "Well, I'm single now" on his wall. Made me feel like a total jerk, like people are thinking it's my fault, when I was trying to fix it all. But one thing I saw totally changed my outlook on things.
He has an older brother in college. I've heard all these stories on how he could be a total jerk and was always in trouble. I also heard recently that he quit drugs and has been a way different person.
So, under the comment he had posted about being single-which upset me very much- his older brother had posted a comment.
I read it.
I read it again.
I smiled.
Then I laughed until my sore throat stopped me. I laughed with tears. I thought I was crying again, but really, I was smiling and laughing and crying because I know that I can get over this.
I can't live my life being depressed like this. I fell asleep with my clothes on at 8:00 last night and went through half a box of Kleenex. I couldn't even eat. Well, that was the flu acting up, mostly. But still. No one should be like this.
So, yeah, I'm upset. Yeah, I'm really sad this happened. But I'll move on. I'll feel better. Life continues.
Now, I guess you're wondering what his older brother posted to make me laugh at 6 a.m. and have a new perspective on things. His brother posted- and I'm starring out the swears, since Blogger has me listed as kid-friendly -
"(My ex's name), you ******* tool, why would you do that? Your girlfriend is way out of your league!!! Stay with her, retard."
I only met his brother once.
Now, 'retard' is really offensive to me. I don't like that term. But LOOK at what he said! I couldn't believe it. I met that guy one time long enough for my ex to say "This is Whatsername" and for his brother to say "HI". He barely knows me, unless he's seen pics of me or heard about me.
But it made me feel better about myself. Like this isn't all my fault. Like I have people backing me up- even ones I don't even know. It showed me that I can move on. I can't just yet, this was only yesterday, but I can. I'll try.
Now, his brother posted that 4 hours ago and I logged on at 6 a.m. because I woke up and had the hangover effect- which is what I call that 5 seconds after you wake up where you don't remember anything, but after those 5 seconds, everything comes back to you in a rush. So, that comment was at, what, 2 a.m.? My ex hasn't seen it yet.
I want to know what he says SO bad.
But until then, I'm single now. He can say it; so can I. It doesn't sound good, but I'm single. I'm going to take more time to spend with all my buds that I haven't been hanging out with as much. I'll be okay.
For anyone else going through this, it will be okay. You are perfect just the way you are. Someone will see that and will never want to let you go.
Will I ever find that person? Will he and I stay friends after our ugly split? What will he say to his brother's comment? Who knows. Just Wonderin'...

Baby, baby, baby, NO!
Let's take a look at music, shall we?
Go back in time a bit. We've had the silky voices in jazz, like Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra. The British pop invasion of The Beatles and later on again in the 90s with Oasis. Then, there was the70s-80s music period with Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, ACDC, etc. Billy Joel and Elton John. The 90s brought Green Day, Blink-182, and Nirvana. Music was all pretty decent from the 60s on, right?
Yes. HECK yes.
But then, something terrible happened about...say...mid- to late-90s.
KIDDIE POP.
We had *NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, and Brittney Spears. That techno-bubble gum-pop that kids ages 8-14 gobble up. Years went on to introduce the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana. Now, our generation has a full-on case of the Bieber fever! What is happening??
There's something about pop music today that just isn't right. You can't even tell anymore who's real and who's autotuned. It's all the same. The songs are all alike with their upbeat tempo, happy mood, and electronic enhancing. It doesn't make any sense. Everything's fake anymore.
I like bands like Green Day and Blink-182. Never Shout Never and Death Cab for Cutie. I hate how they're so amazing but when you turn on the radio, all you hear is Party in the U.S.A.
WHY?
It bugs me that real bands with real music and no autotuning go unnoticed.
Why has music changed so drastically? Just wonderin'...

Deja Vu
I know I've posted about dreams on here before, but I'm going to do it again. Dreams are awesome!
So, have you ever had one of those dreams where it predicts something that ends up happening later on in the future? I have, and it is CREEPY.
I wonder how that happens. Are we all born with a little bit of superpowers? I hope so! Talk about sweet! But still, how does that work? You're unconscious, you're dreaming, something happens in your dream, and then it happens in real life.
It sounds like a fantasy novel, but it's real.
Like, for instance, I had a dream a girl in my Health class was having a full-on temper tantrum and my teacher snapped at her. Nothing too out there, but that week, that same exact thing happened. Same people, same class, everything. I sat there and thought how crazy it all was.
Then, there was the dream about going downtown. I woke up and got a call asking me if I wanted to go downtown with the same person I went downtown with in my dream! And my whole day matched up with the dream!
Then, there's those random moments where you freeze and think, "I swear, this has happened before."
So how does this happen? Are we all having subconscious premonitions? Just wonderin'...

Drama Llamas
Does anyone besides me wonder what it is about teenagers that makes them addicted to drama? I mean seriously.
If you are in or have been to high school, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You've got guy drama and girl drama and people of our age group eat, sleep, and breathe it.
Guy drama doesn't consist of much. It's either a) We're mad, so let's go fight, or b) Did you just look at my girl!??!? Come on. You know it's true. Girl stuff causes a lot of guy drama.
Then, there's girl drama.
Oh. My. Gosh.
It can be anything anymore, which worries me. Arguments, gossip (the he-said she-said stuff), boyfriend drama, clique drama, fashion drama, the occasional fight...it's endless.
But why?!?!
Drama in high school is SO bad. I don't get it. These are supposed to be the best yearss of our lives- why can't we enjoy it and just get along? Would you rather have a group of friends or a group of enemies when you graduate? What would you like to remember when you look back on your teen years?
Some people even go out of their way just to get drama started. It's like they get a high off of it, or something.
It's always out there-the drama-no matter how old you are, but why teenagers? Why does it seem to circulate around our age group? Just wonderin'...

Going $Green$
I've been wondering about something for a while now, and I have a point, here.
If people want everyone to go green with environmentally friendly things- I am one of these people- how come everything that can help our environment has a ridiculous price on it?
Think about it. Hybrid cars are outrageously priced. So is solar panneling. Not to mention organic foods, things packaged with Earth-friendly material or less plastic, clothing and bags made with Earth-friendly material, energy efficient light bulbs...all of these things cost more than normal products.
Why?
If we want to save our Earth, and I'd like to do that very much, then why are product that could help so out of reach?
My World Studies teacher put it this way. Foods that are good for you cost more than junk food. Organic fruits and veggies and all of that health food costs almost double what a bag of chips or pack of pop would. Why are people out of shape? Because junk food is easier to get access to. It's the same way.
So, hey. If anyone out there can produce a cheap car that runs on water? I'd love you forever. I turn sixteen this year.
So, why does caring for our environment have to be so out of reach- and why should it be something you have to afford? Just wonderin'...
