Maybe It's Not The First Time Though 'Cause This Feels Sorta Familiar...

For the first time since... Well, I believe it's the first time since I started this blog... I don't have any words. No ranting paragraphs on the goodness of Zutara, no Barbie dreams, no funny comments or inside jokes to share. I'm just... Really tired and... I dunno. Pleghb im going to bed now.

BOWIE

You remind me of The Babe!

What babe?

The Babe with the power!

What power?

The power of the vudu!

Who do?

You do!

Do what?

Remind me of The Babe!

P.S: I looked again tonight and the vampire/nurse/stalker Barbie was not there... I must have been really tired that night...

P.P.S: I saw this Lucie Barbie at Tuesday Morning (the store, not the day of the week) who was getting knives thrown at her and they were like "stuck" in the cardboard all around her. They were like a centimeter long... And she had this like bizarre Barbie grimace on...

P.P.P.S: Did you know it tells me I'm wrong if I just type 'barbie' so unless I capitalize Barbie it's like incorrect?

Panic

Panic. It rises up, making your tummy squirm and twist. Your heart pumps and your eyes stretch wide. Every noise, every twitch that you think you see is the most immense, creepy thing in the world. Why is is this feeling so fresh in my memory? What makes me feel this way? Last night I looked at my window (1:00 A.M-ish) and my blackout shades had been pulled open a little. Outside my window there's a bush. The way this bush was shaped it made me see a Barbie with a nurse cap on and super moonlight pale skin and a white, knee length dress. She had long, voluminous white-blond curls that reached just past her hips. Okay. Maybe my imagination made some of that up last night. But it was still creepy!!!!

Ninja Assassin

I am a ninja super-sneaky assassin. I know where you live. Well... Not right this moment, but if I wanted to know then I could. I will find you. I am a shadow, a whisper. The thing that you thought you saw out of the corner of your eye today that you dismissed as a trick of the light? That was me hunting you. I am deadly and I- OOOW THAT WAS MY TOE ON THE DOOOOOOR!!!!!! Ok you got me I'm just really awesome. Awesome people stub their toes too, okay!?!?!? We do it subconsciously in order to remember what it feels like to be a normal person. OKAY?

THAT'S LIKE, AWESOME!!

So thanks a bunch, Charlieissocoollike!! And cousin Cora! You played that album of Charlie's and he had that song about Rhymezone.com; I am now writing a song that rhymes!! Finally! Thanks a bunch!!

Ginny Weasley Walkthrough

So as you may know by now, I am going to the Harry Potter 7 Part 2 premiere at midnight in costume as: Ginny Weasley!!! Fun, hun?

So anyhow, as it took me forever to find everything I needed at a good price, I thought I could help others out by putting down what I did! So without further ado, I give you my Ginny Weasley complete costume walkthrough!!!

Ginny is modest, shy and not too flashy. She doesn't really know how pretty she is. For that reason, she sticks a little more to herself than, say, Cho Chang. She doesn't wear jewelry much, she wears simple, comfortable clothes and she is a proud Gryffindor.

The first thing you'll need is her uniform. You'll need a white, long sleeved button down shirt, a gray pullover or button down sweater in Gryffindor house colors, a gray, pleated knee length skirt, black tights, black shoes, a hair accessory and a Gryffindor uniform tie.

MAIN OUTFIT

Under Shirt: For her white button down long sleeved shirt, try this not-too-pricey J.C Penney's Arizona button down shirt from their website, jcpenneys.com.

Gryffindor House Sweater: Next is the Gryffindor house sweater. The one I chose may seem a little too much on the pricey side; honestly, though, you pay more than this in some places just for the fact that it's real lambswool. Lochaven of Scotland makes quality lambswool sweaters, and they happen to be the people who provided sweaters for the movies! If this is too expensive, try polyvore.com or just browse online or in-store.


Gray Skirt: For the gray skirt, we turn once more to Boutiques.com or polyvore.com. You should be able to find something that works here. If not, just google pleated midlength gray skirts.

Black Tights: For black tights, go to any Target, J.C Penney's, Dillard's ect... You can use their store or website. You can find cheep footed or footless tights that will work at any of those stores.

Black Shoes: Ginny wears a comfortable, worn looking black tennis shoe. What I chose was a black Doc Marten (but that was because I needed sneakers to put my orthodics in anyway and my mother was buying them). That's what it looks like she wears. Try docmartens.com. If this is too expensive, then any black flat from a department or shoe store will work.

Note: Since making this original post, I have found this website: http://www.cookieskids.com/. Here, you can find white button down shirts, gray skirts and other things in their uniform section. Hope this helps!

ACCESSORIES

As said before, Ginny does not like to bling up. But there are some things that are a necessity...

Gryffindor Tie: All Hogwarts school students must have their house tie. Ginny, as a Gryffindor, wears a maroon and gold one. A very cheep option for this is Amazon.com. The Rubies Costume
Co. Gryffindor tie is the cheapest option. Although I know from experience (since this is the tie I chose to purchase) that you may have to sew a few thing up here and there, it's ok quality for the price. If you want something more expensive or better quality (or that comes in a brown paper package tied up with string!) then check out www.WizardTies.com.

Hair Clip/Headband: Ginny wears either a very simple headband or hair clip with a tortoise-shell print to pull back her bangs. You can find either of these at a Target, J.C Penney's, Sally Beauty etc...

Wand: Because what is a witch without a wand? Really, there's no cheep alternative to Ginny's wand. I still haven't found one under $30... In the end, I think it'll end up that I'll take a stick and carve it to look like her wand.

So, enjoy this and have fun making costume! I hope that you enjoy being a geek about the Harry Potter series as much as I do! Tata for now...

Hope this helps anybody who needs it! -J

Rhym-ey Song

I'm great with lyrics in the way that they come easily; I have just one problem. I cannot rhyme. Does anybody know how I can make rhymes? I mean, I can, but it just takes me awhile to think of things and by the time I've thought of things I've forgotten the tune and general idea of the song I was going for... Help me!!

The Mucho Mucho Bueno

Taco.

Bell.

Nothing but God and Jesus is better than The Bell of Taco. Every meal I have I think how much better it would have been if it had been Taco Bell. The Taco Bell by my house knows my order. Two bean and cheese burritos no sauce no onions and a medium baja blast no ice to drink. The beans warm my mouth and bring an oatmeal-like feel to my mouth. The stringy cheese melts away and wraps itself in with the beans. The evenly folded, soft tortilla crumbles in my mouth with the rest of the food. The baja blast no ice means that I get more drink for my money and I can drink more slowly and it won't be watered down. Oh, Taco Bell.

ATF

Have you ever felt like everything you've ever known has been wiped away and all the things you thought you knew because of science or facts has been ripped from your grasp? Maybe not. But that's what God did to me. I thought being a Christian meant avoiding cursing, and bad things, and going to church. But then I was changed.
I acquired the fire. When I went to Acquire The Fire, I met God. I met Him as much as anyone on earth can. I stood in His presence and felt him wipe away my fears, my worries. He is so powerful, so great, that I could not stand on my feet. He is so incredible.
When you stand in the presence of Him with hundreds others and weep for Him, that's when you truly know God.

God

Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed, you know? I feel lonely. I feel busy. I feel ugly, or fat, or stupid. "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." says Philipians 4:13. Basically, God is so great that I could jump off a cliff and soar through the air. I could teleport to Japan right now. I could start writing this blog post with nothing but my mind. That's a nearly unfathomable to me. Anything. ANYTHING. He is so powerful that I could do anything he chose to let me. So why should I have any worries? Think this through, and every problem that ever came across your path seems pitiful and like nothing. God is so awesome.
