my friend, Harry Potter

Before I go on with my rant, you should know that I may mention events in the harry potter series that may spoil the movies and or books.

As the sixth movie in the franchise is due for release tomorrow, in Aus anyway, I though I would dedicate tonight's post to "the boy who lived". I ask you to consider, if it applies to you, why Mr.Potter captured your imagination, heart and respect. After some deep thought on the matter I have decided that there are many reasons to why I myself love Harry. It is his naive yet courageous nature that earns my respect. He is able to be a hero one minute, and then a nervous teenager when asking out a girl the next. He is both human and supernatural, he allows me to identify with him yet also be in complete awe of him.

Then sinking deeper into his world I realise that the people around him are the ones that give me reason to day dream about what it would be like to be one of them, co existing with the great Harry Potter. Ron Weasly, Hermione Granger, Sirius Black..even Molly Weasly expose me to the many different faces of Harry, that make him an extraordinary character in an even more spectacular world.

For these reasons and more I find myself believing that after seven years in Harry's world, I not only love and respect him, I regard him as a friend. Thanks Harry, for getting me through those boring, rainy, dull and sometimes terribly emotional days. You have been there for me as I for you and I wish you all the best.

Goodnight fellow bloggers,

xoxo Kay

planning dreams

Before I fall asleep I like to plan my own dreams, it sounds a little quirky and you may not think it possible but I do it all the time. All you have to do is decide what you want and think about it as you drift off into slumber. To find inspiration for these dreams I turn to music, the lyrics can create a great soundtrack for my dreams. If you want to try it out, I found these to be quite inspiring (although you should choose according to your own style):

Panic! At The Disco - Nine In The Afternoon
Kelly Clarkson - Haunted
Chris Isaak - Life Will Go On

Sweet dreams!

every cloud

Yesterday I met with my father for the first time in months. Our relationship has been shakey for the past year now, then again we were never really stable as much as he would like to believe we were. I won't go into all the borings details of our disagreements, but I do want to share the silver lining of the difficult situation he puts me in. Experiencing all the lows of my relationship with my father has made me a better person. After all, don't they say that every difficulty in life only makes you stronger?

It also made me realise that letting petty things get between me and any friend I have a fight with really isn't worth the negative energy that comes with it. A girl I have known since my first year in primary school has never really made being friends with her easy for various reasons, reasons that seem to be beyond her understanding when I try to explain to her. But I have known her my whole life and why should I let her make me feel negative towards her? She may never really be my friend, but I don't want to think of myself as having an enemy, which is why I have decided to let go of any petty grudges I have against anybody so that I don't end up hurting myself along the way.

Thanks for listening to my rant, I owe you one :D

17 and licenced to drive

The day has come finally, I'm officially seventeen and licenced to drive :P Sure, the legal age you can apply for a licence in Australia is sixteen but of course the old attitude of "I'll do it tomorrow" has left me more than a year later finally getting my licence. Next is the first car and I believe that I have one in mind...
the beautiful Alfa Romeo Spider :D "Yes Please!"

So after I got over the excitement of the above, we decided that a shopping trip was in order. I've been really frustrated lately due to the fact that clothes/fashion just isn't cutting it these days in the quality department, and just over all. Every shoping trip these holidays have left me feeling tired and very disgruntled, which is why today was exciting as I found a couple of treasures among the rest of the average looking things. I'm just about to hop into bed now, so I'll post pics tomorrow :D
Sleep tight,

human instinct

As I was leaving Safeway supermarket thinking about how hungry I was, the most appetizing smell made its way from the plate of an unsuspecting lady all the way to my nose. It was at that moment, a few thoughts sprouted in my mind and made me forget all about my hunger.

Isn't it interesting that after millions of years of evolution, humans are still no different to the lion and gazelle in the wild. As much as we can try to deny it, we are animals, with animal instincts. I was hungry and so naturally I was able to smell out the nearest food, lucky I'm not really a lion or I might have pounced ;) .

Then there's the fact that many of us seem to be unable to commit to one life long partner. Sure, penguins stick with one soul mate, but suppose we're like a lion, whose natural instinct is to mate with as many females as possible to make sure his genetic line keeps going. What say you?

I found a piece of artwork by the user "taw" on deviant art that pretty much sums up what I'm trying to say.

hibernating

Sadly my social life has been pretty no existent as of late, which is probably my fault since I really can't be bothered making an effort. Due to this the first week of my holidays away from school include sitting at home and reading. Yes, that's about it. The good news is being a loner has given me a chance to perfect my cooking skills, so I made crepes and cookies yesterday! The only thing I don't like about cooking is that I end up eating everything and adding to my weight what I'm trying to loose, haha.
Something very exciting is happening next week: I'm going for my L plates licence test! Apparently to pass you need to get 78%. I've been practising a lot so wish me luck!
Tip of the day: Join facebook, I've found so many lost friends on it :D

true love

Hey all you bloggers out there,

I woke up this morning with the urge to go for a walk only to be greeted with strong winds and a very rainy sky. So instead of doing some much needed exercise I'm covered in blankets with laptop in hand. A win/lose situation I say. One thing you should know is that I'm a huge fan fan of Eurovision and watch it annually, which is where my infatuation began with the most beautiful man I have ever seen ;) His name is Alexander Rybak, he is a 23 year old singer/violinist out of Norway and I think this is love. Why must the fact that I live in Australia and he in Norway keep us apart? No, I'm not delusional, but I do want his album, which of course is only available in Europe. I've put in a request to my uncle in Poland to send it to me, keep your fingers crossed he finds it for me!

I'll take this opportunity to thank the men who have made a guest appearance in my dreams: Bradley James, Colin Firth, Simon Baker, Tom Welling and Edward Cullen(he was real to me).
