Waiting for my potion to brew.

I finally got to enter Pottermore. I was so stinking excited to have finally received that welcome letter. I explored the whole first book in one night. Stayed up waaaaaaay too late. And now I can't wait until they unlock Chamber of Secrets!

I bet you're wondering what house I got sorted into. Well, hold your horses. I'll get to that part.

Before you get to go to Hogwarts, you have to get your wand! Every wizard needs a wand! Mine is Dogwood with unicorn core, 11 1/2 inches, slightly springy. In the description for dogwood wands, JK says, "Dogwood wands are quirky and mischievous". I feel like this fits me. Maybe not the mischievous part, but the quirky part at least.

Right now (as you can tell from the title of this post) I'm waiting for my potion to finish brewing. Yeah, you get to make potions and try to earn house points. I'm not a very good potion maker. Earlier I was trying to brew Herbicide and I blew up my cauldron. And I lost 5 house points. Which is no good, seeing as my house is slacking on the house cup standings (we're last place.....)

After reading some of the things that JK has shared, I've decided that she truly is a genius. GENIUS. I love how she has taken the time to actually give secondary characters in the books their own backstory. Like they're more than just characters, they're actual people. Except not really, although that would be cool.

Well, my Antidote to Common Poisons is almost ready. Wish me luck on not blowing up this cauldron (I feel like Seamus Finnigan).



Oh yeah, Imma Hufflepuff.




Note: I actually can touch my tongue to my nose. No big deal.

25 Things: #18 Catch up on Doctor Who.

Earlier in the summer, I decided I wanted a new tv show to watch. I like finding new shows. I decided I wanted to expand my nerdiness a little bit, and my love for the British, and started watching Doctor Who.

Now, Doc Who started in like the 1960s, and then took a break for a little bit in around the 80s or 90s (I don't really know the complete history, obviously), and when I decided to start watching, I had no idea whether I needed to watch from the first doctor, or whether I should just start from a certain point. After some research (aka, I sent out a poll on the twitters), I learned that I should start at the 9th doctor with the episode called "Rose".

So that is where it all began for me. After weeks of watching about 2 episodes a day (cause that's all BBC America played each day) I have caught up! And I got to actually watch the new episode on Saturday when it aired!

Let me give you a little background on the show that is Doctor Who:

Basically, it's a show about a time traveling alien that goes by The Doctor. And he has human sidekicks that come along with him on his journeys. He travels through time and space in his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) that looks like a blue police box and is bigger on the inside. The reason they are able to have 11 different actors play The Doctor is because whenever The Doctor dies, he just regenerates and his whole appearance changes. Handy, huh?

I'm not sure if this is true for all Whovians (That's what the fans are called. Fun.) but I tend to get attached to a certain Doctor. I really love David Tennant. A lot. And I always got nervous that I was approaching the episode that was going to be his last. And then this new guy was going to show up. And then I reached that point. And you know what, I LOVE Matt Smith as The Doctor! I think he may be my favorite!

Also, I love Amy Pond and Rory. More than Rose. Didn't think that would happen either.

"Bow ties are cool."

Just a heads up, if you do decide to watch Doctor Who (and you should), beware of the Weeping Angels. They will scare the shiz out of you.

Seriously, you will pee your pants.

New favorites.

Notice how I haven't written anything here for about a month?? Yeahhhhhh, whoops..

Anyways, in the past month I've come across some new favorite things! Let me share.

1) Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

This band came up on one of my Pandora stations and I fell in love. So then I created my own Edward Sharpe station. It's my favorite station. Good thing Best Buy had their cd, cause now I can listen whenever!

2) Doctor Who.

Yep, Whitney just got a little bit nerdier. For those who don't know, Doctor Who is a British tv show about a time traveling alien. Who comes across other aliens. And has a human sidekick.
I'm only on episode 10, because I have to wait to watch episode-by-episode on BBC America everyday. No Blockbuster in the Kansas City area has Doctor Who to rent. BUT, my sister bought me a season for my birthday, so there we go. Hopefully she actually bought the season I'm watching.....
(I just watched episode 9, The Empty Child, and now I'm afraid to sleep. Creepy child!!)

3) Alex Day

Not gonna lie, I found this guy's youtube channel by first watching him reading Twilight. Best. Thing. Ever. And then I watched his other videos. Sooooo you should check it out.
Also, Under the Sea: one of my favorite Disney songs. I love The Little Mermaid.



Ok, I'm going to go read some books now. Bye!!

Just had to share.

Before I go to bed, I usually read a chapter or two of the book I'm reading. Right now, I am currently rereading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Here is a dream I had last night:


Harry, Ron, Hermione and I were at Dumbledore's house in Godric's Hollow. Except Godric's Hollow was in Utah. Whatever. Anyways, we were looking for something in Dumbledore's house and Death Eaters were out to get us. So we had to be really sneaky. And my wand was dying (apparently it was battery powered), but it wasn't a big deal because we had an extra one that we stole off of a Death Eater.



Anyhooooooo, Imma nerd that dreams about Harry Potter. (btw, this isn't the first time HP has been involved in a dream...) And that is awesome.

The time where I rant and get angry at a fictional character.

Ok, so I'm rereading Eclipse right now. I wanted to read it again before the movie came out, and since I'm going to start reading Harry Potter next week I thought I would squeeze some Eclipse action in this week. I have this one little bone to pick with Bella Swan:

Why the crap is it a big deal to get married to Edward Cullen?!

I know she goes on to say that Charlie and Renee got married and then things got bad and blah blah blah. Here's what I have to say to that...

1. You're not your momma. Just sayin.

2. It's freaking Edward Cullen. Half of the world right now wants to marry Edward Cullen. (The other half is either straight men or Team Jacob. Whatever.)

3. You're going to spend the rest of your life with him anyways. So why not just get in a fancy wedding dress and have a party. You've already decided to be with him forever by making yourself a vampire (which seems a hella lot more intense than exchanging some wedding vows..), so why not just say all that jazz (well, maybe not the vampire part..) in front of your family. Seems pretty simple to me. Plus, this gets Edward off your back and then he will actually turn you. Seems like a win-win..

Anyways, I'm done with that now. Just, quit making a big deal Bella Swan. Freaking A.

Also, both Edward and Jacob are making me mad right now. Don't tell my cousin. She doesn't need to know that Eddie is making me mad. I have a strong Team Edward loyalty to show off. (She's Team Jacob. One of them crazies..)

Average Wizard.

It is no secret, I love me some Rob Pattinson.
And I'm not really going to be getting into the whole "I'm allergic to vaginas" thing.
Cause I don't really know what to say to that....
Rob is a crazy lad who says crazy things.

Anyways, I was on Average Wizard reading the awesomeness that fellow Harry Potter nerds like myself post on there.
And I came across this one:

"Yesterday, my friends and I went to the Harry Potter exhibit in Boston. There was a section with Draco's quidditch robes, Oliver Wood's quidditch robes, and Cedric's. Usually with the costume captions, they say the character name and then the actor name. They left Cedric's actor name out. Take that, Robert. HPIM"

Well, this little post made me decide to get an account on Average Wizard, cause I had something to say about this.
And you can only comment if you have an account.
What was my comment? This:

"I actually saw this when it was in Chicago. The reason why they didn't have Rob's name is because he wasn't playing Cedric when those robes were used. Cedric never played Quidditch in Goblet of Fire. Those robes are from Prisoner of Azkaban, when Hufflepuff is playing Gryffindor before Harry falls from his broom. And that Cedric wasn't played by Robert."

Yep. I totally corrected this person.
Just call me nerd.
Well, after other people had commented saying that I beat them to the punch (ha!), someone posted this comment:

"Well, still, Robert doesn't deserve to have his name listed among the greatest Hogwarts stars of all time. The traitor."

Nah uh. You did not just call Rob a traitor. I didn't let this fly.
My response:

"I reallllly don't think that makes him a traitor. Just makes him an actor doing his job..."

Seriously. Just because he has been in other movies does not make him a traitor.
I kinda wanted to start a fight with this person, not gonna lie.
I thought that would be fun.
But since then, they haven't responded yet.
And 5, yes 5, people have "downed" me.
Losers.

I still love you Average Wizard.

Harry Potter and the Twilight Saga. (Part 1)

(JK Rowling's next novel...)

Eventually I want to make this HP and the TS series more of a discussion between the two. I feel like they get compared a lot and people from the HP fandom don't like Twilight, and vice versa. But for now, I'll take it easy.

I'm going to start this out by talking about the trivia night I went to this past week. It was Harry Potter and Twilight themed. Just my thing, right? Well, it was. For their trivia nights, you are on a team and answer a series of questions as a team. I went there without a team, just wanting to see how it was. Well, I was standing in the back of the room texting Taylor when this girl came up to me and asked if I wanted to be on her team because her other team members weren't showing up. So I sat down beside her and we began talking when other people she knew came in and sat down with us. We had our team. Team Hogforks. We went around the table saying what year we were in college. All the other girls were freshmen. I'm a senior. Yeah. I'm cool.

So, I was the best member of our team. Not that I'm bragging or anything. But it's true. The first round was all about Harry Potter. The first question: What kind of car does Mr Weasley have? Well, duh. It is obviously the Ford Anglia. Everyone else was so amazed that I knew this answer. I mean, I did happen to see it and all....

The rest of the HP questions were quite hard. Seriously. I don't know Nearly Headless Nick's last name. Or what vault the Sorceror's Stone is in. But, I did know that Dumbledore taught Transfiguration. Everyone else thought DaDA. Please. We managed to get 14/20 questions right.

I'm not even going to talk about Round 2. It was random trivia. And was hard as all get out.

Round 3: Twilight. I'm not going to lie. I was a little upset when I knew more Twilight questions than I did Harry Potter. But we'll get to that at a later time. The Twilight questions were eaaaaaasy. Since I was writing our answers down, a lot of the time I wouldn't even converse with the other members of my group. I would just go ahead and answer. We got a total of 18/20 right here. We didn't know how old Carlisle is (300 and something apparently) and we didn't know what Bella was surprised to see in the Cullen house (A wooden cross. We guessed a kitchen. Makes sense right?)

They went ahead and asked a tie-breaker question in case it was needed. What was the question? Name all of the Horcruxes. I had this in the bag. I can tell you not only what all the Horcruxes are, but who destroyed them and how. It didn't occur to me until I was talking to Erin about it later that I ended up writing them down in the order in which they were destroyed. I am awesome.

In the end, we got technically got 4th. There was a tie for second place, and then us. But, we were only 4 questions behind the 1st place winners, so it was pretty close.

By the way, I am currently still computerless. I checked this computer out from campus. I want mine back. I checked out a computer last weekend as well. And I may or may not have (but definitely did) save a picture of R. Pattinson on the desktop and forgot to delete it before I turned it in. Awesome.

Beginning of the semester.

The first week of my last semester of an undergrad ends tomorrow.

I will now provide you with a list of thoughts/happenings of this first week:

1) I am stressed already.
Senior show, 20 to 30 page paper that goes with the senior show, other papers for other classes. Poop. Don't expect to see me that much.

2) I have 2 classes that I am really super excited for.
First, there's my Children's Literature class. I get to look at and talk about children's book illustrations, which will be fun times. But I can't read Harry Potter. She said we had to branch out and read things we haven't read before. You think I could lie and still read it??
Second, I have my American Cultural History class that Erin found for me. I'm pretty sure it was made for me. Today we talked about manhood in American and how it has changed. Cool.

3) My Economics and Geography classes will suck.
Taylor had to take Economics for his business degree (obviously) and when I asked him to tell me that it doesn't suck, he told me "yeah, it pretty much sucks". Thanks darling.
But my geography professor has awesome fashion sense. When I was describing him to Kaitlin I told her that "he dresses like RPatz on a bad day".
Truth number 1.

4) I went to the rec yesterday.
I hardly ever go there. But after class yesterday, I made the walk there. Worked on the exercise bike a little bit. Fun times. Will prolly go back tomorrow.

5) My Tuesday/Thursdays will be long.
I have class from 10:30 until 6. Two 3 hour studio classes (sculpture and fibers) and then my hour and a half long history class. They are longgggggg.

6) I busted my bum today and didn't break anything.

Yesterday, it was warm so some of the snow melted.
Last night it was cold, so it froze again.
Today Whitney walked on it, so she fell.
When I went down, I thought of Bella Swan.
Then I thought of how I think too much about Twilight.
("Ice doesn't help the uncoordinated." Truth number 2)

So there you go. A little break down of my first week back.
I'm gonna watch some of The Office on my computer here.
Peace.

Twi-nerd moment of the week.

Yo, I'm getting ready to do some spoiling right now.
So, if you are one of the 5 people in the world who hasn't read Breaking Dawn and HP and the Deathly Hallows, I'd stop reading now.

The other day in the shower (I have my best/most random thoughts in the shower) I was thinking about Breaking Dawn.
It is best to not ask questions.
Anyways, the main thought I was having was about the name "Renesmee".
It's a weird name, right?
But then again, she's a weird baby, so she deserves a weird name, right?
Anyhoo, I was thinking about Edward's thoughts on this name.
Because I feel that at the time it was brought up as a possibility, he didn't really think the baby and probably Bella would live.
So therefore, he wouldn't have to deal with his child being named "Renesmee".
And why bring up the stupidity of the name with your dying wife?

So, then I started thinking about after Renesmee was born and everyone was all good and living.
I bet you Edward was all crazy then.
Cause now he has to live with the fact that his kid is named Renesmee.
I bet he was all like, "Ahh poops.* Now we have to actually call the kid that now. I thought she was only kidding at first but apparently this is for real."

Also, I think this is what Ginny Weasley-Potter thought as well.
I'm pretty positive she thought Harry was only joking when he suggested Albus Severus for their child's name.
Only to find out a little too late that he wasn't.

*Yeah, Ed Cullen totally says "Ahh poops".

Harry.

It is mine.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Schveet.

Hastings, the all around entertainment store in this here town, was not having a midnight party for the release of the DVD.
I was not a happy camper.
When Erin and I went to ask, we mentioned that they had a midnight opening for Twilight.
The worker girl thought it was only fair then for them to have one for Harry Potter.
Right?
Well, after asking two other people, we came to the conclusion that they were not.
Come on!
It's Harry Potter people!
You're in a college town!
Where most of those students are probably Harry Potter nerds!
Apparently, Twilight is more important to Hastings.
Losers.

But anyways, WalMarks had it, so we're all good.
Although the chick putting them out was a little crazy and slightly rude.
I was this close (really close) to just snatching one up out of the box and going with it.
Oh well, I've got it now.

Although I'm still a little upset that people aren't giving it as much attention as they did Twilight or will New Moon.
Maybe I'll talk about that more at a later time.....

What I do to my friends.

My friend got me into Twilight.

Well, kinda.
When I found out Robert Pattinson, aka Cedric Diggory, was going to be in the movie, I decided it would be a good idea to see it. And read it, I guess.
And she let me borrow her books.
And we go see the movies together and talk about it a lot.
Anyways, I always give her a hard time about how I like Jacob and she doesn't.
So I sent her a little package in the mail the other day.

It all started with this card I found in WalMarks.
That I knew I had to get for her.

(On the inside it says something along the lines of "Treat. Definitely Treat.")


Then, I decided to make a shirt for her.
She is entirely Team Edward.


And finally, I decided to write her a little poem.
It took me all of about 10 minutes to write this while I was in the shower.


I hope she wears that shirt tomorrow.
Whoop whoop.

Whoooooooooot.

Happy New Moon Week.
Get excited.
Bought my tickets last week.
We are watching on Friday at 9:30 in the pm.
Woot woot.

I went to Brookfield theatre website to see what time they were playing the movie.
The "poster" they had online wasn't even the real movie poster.
It was a fan made poster.
Classy. And professional.
But we're not going there.
Cause they didn't even have the movie times up.

I like how Ellen has a countdown to Rob on her show.
When I was watching last week, I kept seeing "__ days til Robert Pattinson!"
I got excited every time I saw it.

AND Kellen Lutz in on on Wednesday.
And D Fanning on today.
It's a Twilight week on Ellen.
Woot woot again.

Funny Story:
I bought the Vanity Fair magazine yesterday.
You know, the one with all the Rob hotness in it.
Yeah, well I was going to just go to WalMarks so I could use the self-checkout that is so handy when you don't want to be judged on what you are buying.
Well, WalMarks didn't have them out yet.
And I had seen that the bookstore here in town did have them out.
So I just decided to get it there.
Well, Erin wanted me to pick her up a copy too.
Cause, you know, we all need our own little bit of Rob hotness.
So not only was I buying one magazine, I was buying TWO magazines.
I chose what line I went through by which cashier looked like they would judge me less.
And I didn't make any eye contact.
Totally worth it though.
Cause that article and pictures were fantastic.

Well, I need to get some studying in before Ellen comes on.
Peace.

We must be over the rainbow!

Ever since I was a young young lady, The Wizard of Oz has been my favorite movie.
Seriously, I can't tell you the number of times I have dressed up as Dorothy for Halloween.
Well, it is on TV tonight.
And tomorrow night. And Sunday night.
This is why I like the holidays.
Cause apparently it is a holiday movie....

Anyways, both of my parents called/texted me to make sure I was watching.
First, Momma called, telling me it was on.
Then, Dad texted, asking if I was watching.
It made me happy.
They even had a couple of trivia questions during the movie, and I got both of them right.
Goodness, I'm a nerd.

It really is my favorite movie.
It's just so colorful and fun.
And it is fantasy, and we know how much I love fantasy.
Momma once told me that the reason I loved fantasy so much was because
I "like to be in my own little world".
She's pretty much right.

Ramblings

I'm chuck full of ideas.
OK, not really.
But I did come up with a brilliant one today.
Here it is:
Lately I have been wanting to cut down on my soda drinking.
I have also been wanting to buy a lot of new music.
Therefore, I am going to start saving up the money I would be using on soda to buy new music.
At the end of the month, I will add up the change and probably have enough to buy a some songs on iTunes or some cheap albums on Amazon.
It is a win-win situation!
Healthier with the no soda business.
Happier with the more musics business.
I need to get a jar.




I function better when I make a list of things I need to do.
So, sorry, but here is my list of what I have to accomplish soon.
Just bare with me. You can skip over this if you want.
-math homework (tonight)
-meet with Wilber (tomorrow)
-develop film (Wednesday)
-drawings for Fibers project (tonight/tomorrow morning)
-Fibers blog (tonight/tomorrow)
-study for Praxis (before Nov 14)
-Senior Seminar presentation (before December)
-Senior portfolio (before Nov 10)
-register for next semester classes (tomorrow)
-pay library fee (tomorrow)
-Education concept maps (weekend?)
-Education iMovie(weekend?)



The funniest thing ever happened in my class tonight.
There is this kid in my class that talks all. the. time.
A lot.
Well, today my professor called him out on it.
We were supposed to be reading this article quietly so we could discuss later.
Well, Talking Kid started talking again and my professor goes,
"You know, I bet your classmates would like it if you were quiet so they could read."
We all started laughing a lot.
Inside I wanted to cheer.



I'm totally into School of Wizardry on facebook.
You know how everyone plays that Farmville game??
Well, I said screw that cause my plants kept dying.
And now I play School of Wizardry.
Cause it is obviously cooler.
I'm a level 12 second year.
And I have a property.
I'm pretty cool.
Obviously.
I just read this:
"You made it to year two! You have a little more experience now, but beware there are still many unknowns. Don't forget to study and keep up your grades."
I like how it warns me to actually get off there sometimes and do my homework.
I may or may not post that story to MLIA.


Ok, going to go work on that list up there now.
Peace out Girl Scout.
Or Boy Scout, depending.

Oh, I just built a fort on Friday. What did you do?

Erin and I were home by ourselves on Friday night.

So, instead of going out on the Friday of Homecoming week like every other college student on campus, we stayed home and built a fort.
It was the best decision we have ever made.

Check it:
(Ignore our awesomely plaid furniture. We're poor college students who will take what we get.)

Erin is excited about upcoming fun in the fort:

And now for a trip inside:

We watched Dirty Dancing.
Obviously a great movie.
P. Swayze had some awesome dance skills.



Fort essentials:
Harry Potter coloring book and coloring supplies (crayons and colored pencils)
Food (waffle fries)
Computer (optional)

Notes:
Yes, we slept in the fort on Friday night.
Yes, we are 21 and 22 years old.

We got up on Saturday morning and decided to not go to the Homecoming parade.
We thought it was a better idea to sleep in warmth than go and freeze our rumps off watching cars drive by.




PS: Y'all, it is freezing here.
I'm pretty sure it is going to snow soon.
Cause, you know, I have awesome skills and can tell when it is going to snow, and I'm tellin ya that it is.
It is freakin October, and I'm not ready for snow.
I would really like to not have to break out the snow boots yet.
Poop.

Carry on!

Here lately I haven't really been watching all that much tv.

I'm just too busy with school and all to actually sit down and watch a show.
And what I usually do watch is just Home Improvement when I'm home for lunch.
Or Ellen when I'm getting ready.
However, I have designated Thursday night as TV Night.
Here is my Thursday night TV schedule:



7:00 pm: The Vampire Diaries
I've talked before on here about my new love for this show.
And Stefan Salvatore.



8:00 pm: The OfficeOh My Gosh!
Jim and Pam!
They're getting married!
I have never been more excited for two fictional characters to get together since Ron and Hermione.



9:00 pm: Project Runway
Tim Gunn: Please be my best friend.
And give me fashion tips.
But please don't knock my bad style/sweatpants.



PS- Go HERE for something fun I wrote.

Vampires, Spiders, and Theme Parks Oh My!

Topic 1: Vampires

I don't know what the sudden uproar over vampires is about, but I'm starting to get on board.
I held off as long as I could.
First came Twilight.
Ed: I love you.
Twilight is the only vampire book(s) I have read.
But now I'm hooked on The Vampire Diaries on the tv.
I accidentally watched the premiere last week cause it came on after That 70s Show, and I was too lazy to get up and change the channel.
And now I am fascinated.
Stefan: I love you too. You look like Edward.













<--Edward//Stefan-->


________________________________________________

Topic 2: Spiders
In the words of Ronald Weasley: "I don't like spiders."
Here's the story:
I walked into the bathroom the other day cause I had to pee like no other.
When I walked in, there was a MASSIVE spider on the floor by the toilet.
See:

Well, I screamed a little and ran off.
When I say "a little", I really mean a lot.
I was home by myself, so I just hid away in the living room, hoping someone would come home soon to rid our house of this thing so I could pee.
After about an hour, nobody showed up.
I decided to brave up and slid into the bathroom to do my business.
That was the fastest I have ever peed.
When Erin came home, I built up the courage and tried to kill it with a shoe.
Turns out it didn't die.
It eventually got killed.
And it was revealed to me that this was a Brown Recluse spider.
Which is poisonous.
Erin knew this, but didn't tell me cause she "didn't want to scare" me.
I felt spiders crawling on me all night long.

_________________________________________________

Topic 3: Theme Parks
Ok y'all.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is officially opening in the Spring of 2010.
For graduation I'm asking for moneys so I can go during the summer.
Erin and I have already started the planning process.
Some nights at Disneyworld.
And then a whole day at The Islands of Adventure, where Hogwarts will be located.
I will finally get to go to Hogwarts!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH!



I colored this.

Ohhh honey.

Here this past summer, I introduced Taylor to my two favorite things: Harry Potter and Twilight.

Now, he didn’t read either of them, but I did get him to go see the new Harry movie and we are in the process of watching the rest.
And I got him to watch Twilight with me, which even I was shocked I could do.

Well, I’m sitting here kinda watching the VMAs (yeah, Kanye is kinda a douche…) when the New Moon trailer comes up.
Woot.
Pretty much the only reason I’m watchin.
Anyways, Taylor sends me a text, and the following text convo goes down:

him: im watchn a new moon trailer on mtv
me: oh i saw. dont worry. looks exciting huh?!
him: yeah it does. edward did.
(note: I think he’s on Team Ed and doesn’t even know it..:))
me: heck yes. you gonna go watch it with me when it comes out??
him: ya so he does die?
me: you’re just gonna have to wait and see if he dies i guess…..
him: i’ll be there.

Sweet.

I managed to not tell him the fate of Eddie Cullen.
Which is surprising, since I like to give away spoilers like crazy.
I feel like if he was with me, he would have gotten it out of me.

Yes, it is August and I've already been working on Halloween.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.

I love to get all dressed up as something fun and walk around, doing fun things.
Now, my last three Halloween costumes have shown my lovely nerd side.
They have all been book characters.
See:

Freshman Year
Ok, so you can't see this one.
I couldn't find a good one that showcased my awesome costume in the entirety.
But I was Dorothy.
From the Wizard of Oz. (of course!)

Sophomore Year

Check it out, yo.
I pulled out the Hermione Granger awesomeness.
I even printed off and cut out a Gryffindor badge to put on my cloak.
That costume was sweet.

Junior Year (last year)
This costume was probably the most ghetto costume ever.
I made the dress out of this crazy slick fabric that I thought would look awesome, but just made making the dress more difficult.
Then, I thought my dad had a boot I could wear so it looks like I had a broken foot, but he didn't.
So, instead I took an old work boot he had, tore it all up and painted it to look like a boot.
The result was an awesome version of Bella Swan.
And nobody knew who I was. (Fools!)

So anyways, this year Halloween will be amazing.
I was kinda joking when I told my friends what I was going to be, but I'm actually going to do it.
And it is going to be my cheapest costume yet, because I have all the necessary pieces in my wardrobe already.
What will I be, you ask??
Well, here's a clue.
I am basing it off of this outfit:
Did you figure it out??
Yes?
Awesome. Don't you think it is made of win?
No?
Well, then I guess you're gonna have to just wait till Halloween when all is revealed.

I'm off to practice up on my facial expression for Halloween.
(Trust, I need to get that down pat for this costume to succeed.)
