my friend sony came to visit me here in o-town.

and i’m, like, really excited about harry potter 5. i got the new teen vogue issue and i really couldn’t believe how old harry, hermione and ron are getting! and then it hit me- i’m getting old! i remember being a dorky eleven (and a half) year old, sitting in the theatre, waiting and waiting and waiting for harry potter 1 to start!

ok so, i guess i should update.

well, i started gymnastics again after taking a looong break. i’m frustrated though! really, really frustrated! basically, i’ve been doing gymnastics since i was 7, but i’m still a beginner because we move right when i start getting good! and then i re-enter and have to be a beginner again. it’s like, i’ll never make any progress! i’m just doomed to being semi-good forever! i’ll never learn how to do a back handspring on my own! NEVER!!!

whoa… enough of that.

in other news: i finally picked up a copy of “abarat” by clive barker and let me tell you- it is absolutely AMAZING. beyond amazing! even quentin tarantino called him “the great imaginer of our time”. i know i’m only on part two (of four), but i’ve never been so easily captivated and obsessed with a book (and i knew i was captivated after the prologue, and obsessed after only the 3rd chapter). go read it! now!

but yeah… other than that, i want to live in japan.

i love midlake. they are amazing.
