And trust me, I've read a lot of books this summer.
*Snow Falling on Cedars, David Guterson *I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith *Montana 1948, Larry Watson *The Giver, Lois Lowry *Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, J. K. Rowling *White Oleander, Janet Fitch
once others have had a chance to finish (*cough* ALYSSA! *cough*), i'll post some thoughts. but i must say, i did a decent job with those predictions...
Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following...They have to be real places, names, things...nothing made up! You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question.
Your Name: Julie
Famous Artist/Band/Musician: John Mayer
4 letter word: jars
Vehicle: Jeep
State: Jersey, New.
Boy Name: Jack
Girl Name: Jane
Occupation: Judge
Something you wear: jewelry
Celebrity: Jerry Springer. haha.

Cartoon Character: Jerry. as in Tom & Jerry.
Something You Shout: i love John! i hate John! (okay, so it doesn't really work. oh well.)
*either ron or hermione will die. maybe both, but in that case i'd never forgive j. k. rowling.
*r. a. b. will be revealed to be regulus black.
*draco malfoy will redeem himself to some degree, but it may not be enough to save him from death. in fact, he'll probably be killed by voldie and the death eaters after he turns against them. yeah.
*neville and luna will fall madly in love.
*lupin will finally stop being such a loser and stop pushing tonks away (as seen at the end of book 6, i know, i know)
*snape, snape, snape. does anyone really know? i don't think i can make any predictions there, except to say i still refuse to believe he is either wholly evil or wholly good.
okay, i know none of those were earth-shattering. but whatever. i'm not geeky enough to seriously ponder these things for hours on end :)
"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, valuable, but small. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So, goodnight, dear void."
i've been sick for a few days now, and because i'm a firm believer in the healing power of cinema, i've watched several (read: way too many) movies in those days. these include...
*two weeks' notice *music & lyrics *north & south *jane eyre *princess diaries 2 *13 going on 30 *must love dogs *mona lisa smile *my best friend's wedding *finding neverland *hitch *50 first dates
oh wow that's more than i even thought... ahem. i think i'll just go do a little homework now before i find another movie... :)
Please let me out of here. I would really like my science test and piano juries to be over. Christmas break... I need it. I would also like a Barbie Jeep and a pony. Thanks.
