Just in case you didn't know, the 5th Harry Potter movie comes out this summer, July 13th. See the newest trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtTHi1gBBak

Shortly following that release, July 21st, the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  I will thoroughly be enjoying myself this summer!

Further posts about my life, MIGHT be following.  We will see! Love you all!

There are currently 2 very important issues that have been plaguing me for some days now.  I will share.

#1 because it is the most important.  My mouse (or should I say, touch pad) has begun a new life, free from me.  Sometimes he runs across the screen, not even pausing to say goodbye to me.  Sometimes he slowly creeps across the screen, making it blatantly obvious, that he will not be controlled by me, regardless of how many times I click, click, click, click, click, click, double click, triple click, quadruple click.  Sometimes, he behaves, and we go on for days!  It's like we are best friends who could never be apart.  And then there are the days when I am in such a hurry and he misbehaves, I swear on purpose, just to tick me off.  Do I want to click on closing a program?  Well, less than one centimeter away, he decides to click on open.  Do I want to open an email? Well, he wants to close it.  Maybe he is starved for attention, maybe even recognition.  OKAY!  I love you touch pad!  You help me get all my most important tasks done.  First and foremost, checking my facebook, and then maybe the inquiring yahoo search to find out what happened to Anna Nicole Smith, and then maybe some homework.  I have questioned Dell's technical site (after restarting my computer 3 times, b/c this is the only way I can get him to behave) and apparently I have to backup all my files so that I can do a whole system reinstall.  You have to be difficult don't you little mouse.  Maybe calling him little hurts his ego.  I meant to say, WONDERFUL mouse.  The words "backing-up" slightly scare me, so I'll wait until my dad gets home. 

#2 is of less importance, but causes me grief.  On facebook (those of you in xanga land who don't know, well, sorry) I have a "wall" and I have about 230 "posts" on my wall.  I continuously visit other sites where some have well over 500 or even 1000.  My meager 230 looks like I barley even try. I am on facebook everyday, usually 3 or 4 times.  Why only 230? I know, I know, everyone is different, and everyone is special, but I can't help but look longingly after those others and wish I looked like them. 

I had already decided on a topic for this xanga entry when something horrible happened to me today.  It's not odd or extreme. You probably won't be shocked. But it hurt my feelings and most importantly it hurt me where I am weakest. 

I got pulled over by a police man (just thinking about it I am starting to cry, and I don't cry) and he gave me a speeding ticket.  The reason this was so WRONG was because I was clearly slowing down from being on the highway and the Speed Limit sign was clearly 100 yards in front of me. I told the police man all of this and he said, "I have to give you a ticket, you were going 16 miles over the speed limit."  Excuse me, but by a mere mile and I would have a $25 lower ticket. 

This is why it makes me cry.  I can't afford it.  I always have something bad happen to me during my first week at a new school. When I moved to Miami, the day before the first day of school, I turned and hit an lady.  I was only going about 15 mph, but it turned into this huge fiasco where the insurance decided to drop us, even though it was illegal and all this hoopla. And the other  was a speeding ticket that I got when I was driving through Arkansas, I did not deserve either, but I still had to pay $152, because I didn't realize the importance of going to court.  

Is it right to give people tickets for something even if they really don't deserve it? It isn't.  I plan on going to court.  And I plan on not paying that ticket. 

I guess I'll have to talk about the other things I wanted to later because I'm really upset.  School is going alright.  I like the school, but it's big and I miss having friends and knowing people to hang out with. 

Back to the land of the illuminated and cozy. 

We got our electricity back yesterday around noon.  We even watched All My Children to commemorate the awesomeness of the event.  Later, we watched Kingdom of Heaven which is a very long movie. It was good, but not really what I was expecting. 

School won't start until Monday.  Meanwhile, I am going crazy hanging out w/ my parents constantly and not leaving the house.  This being the problem:  I have no job, I haven't started school, and I have no friends.  Geez I'm llllllaaaaaaaaame.

I am feeling reflective.  I just got finished watching that movie, The Lake House, by myself.  I really wanted to watch it, even though I knew it would be a love story that would make me want a boyfriend. But that didn't happen. It didn't make me want to have a boyfriend, rather it made me feel very reflective about what has happened in the past and what the future holds.  I have done things I have regretted in the past.  Most of the time, those are things that I didn't do, not things I did do.  There have been times when instead of just letting life happen, I seem to think I know what's best and ruin things.  My argument to this is, if you didn't do those things, then you wouldn't really be living life.  But, I'm not so sure that is true.  I dream so much about being crazy happy.  But why am I not crazy happy now?  I mean, even though I am getting ready to move in w/ my parents,  life is not that bad.  But even if life was "bad" who knows if it really would be?  Everyone I love is still alive.  I can be whatever I want, and live where ever I want.  And someday I will be with the guy that can make me laugh uncontrollably, and nothing will keep us apart.  Not time, not money,  not distance, not parents, not religion, not me.  Stupid love stories.
