This Is What Happens When You Act Like I Do

I changed accounts! I think I added you to my new account, but you never friended me back.

I changed LiveJournal accounts. I have a new one (same layout though, if you want to do some detective work). I friended certain people, so if you get a random friend request, check the user info. It'll be me.

I don't plan to update this journal anymore, but I'm not deleting it. I ought to make some kind of banner or something...

Oh, no one loves me. No one ever comments. I would delete my journal, but I like to go back and read everything periodically. So, I think I'm just going to make a new journal. I'm going to go and re-friend all my old friends, so please friend me.

I am starting a podcast. It's going to be a Harry Potter-themed thing. I've already had one person agree to host with me, and I need a couple others. Does anyone want to help me? You have to download Skype and Audacity. Both are completely free. For Skype, you will need a microphone. Audacity is just a voice recording program that makes it easier to edit the shows.

I would really love to have someone I don't have contact with in the real world come onto the show. Nothing's set in stone yet, so we can work with everyone's schedule. You don't have to be a maniacal, crazed, rabid Harry Potter fan (though you will most likely meet some while doing this) but you need a good knowledge of the books and some parts of the Potterverse.

Anyway, I'm starting my own website to sell Harry Potter scarves.

Poll: Should I name it...

1. The Enchanted Needle
2. The Magic Needle
3. The Enchanted Needles
4. The Magic Needles

Comment with your vote, or comment with a name you think would be appropriate/better that I haven't thought of yet.

I am totally doing a report on Albus Dumbledore... and my teacher's letting me. How cool is that? I made a scarf, a Gryffindor scarf. Photos later.

If you want a house scarf, email me and I'll charge you $16 plus shipping which will probably be $2. It'll take a couple weeks, but you'll get a nice handmade-to-order scarf.

OK, relevance out of 100

I took a sorting test on personalitylab.org

Gryffindor--76
Ravenclaw--66
Hufflepuff--75
Slytherin--38

I'm going to go with Gryffindor.

go vote for the mugglecast boys, because they are freaking awesome.

okay, someone tell me what commercial this is from

steppenwolf--magic carpet ride. it just came on launchcast, and i recognized it from a commercial.

excerpt--"close your eyes, girl, look inside girl. let the sound take you away."

well, i don't feel so good. i couldn't see harry potter at 12:01 this morning because my mother found an article in the paper about how lack of sleep affects kids in school. the study cited a sample of 7 to 12 year olds. I AM SIXTEEN. Plus, the article had a lot of loose ends and it would have gotten a 2 on the AP essay test. SO THERE.

also, i stayed up until 3:00 a.m. sitting in the dark in my bed, which is probably when i would have fallen asleep if i had been allowed to go see the Harry Potter premiere. SO THERE. Secret rebellion. So there, it's not like I gained any sleep by not going, MOTHER.

i found an awesome icon place. see comments on latest icon for details.

PLEASE join and vote! I made a couple icons this week!

Tell me the text color isn't too light for the background.

Edit: SOMEONE PLEASE CACHE THE PAGE. I think the teacher is going to delete it soon. Or save the file or something. Tony, if you read this, could you please save the file or something and put it in my folder on the site (if i still have it)?

So anyway, Halloween was Monday. My little sister and my mother went trick-or-treating, and someone had to hand out candy, so the task fell to me. I wasn't about to sit out there in just my street clothes, so I went upstairs and got a white sheet out of the linen closet. Then, I got some black construction paper and cut a couple oval(ish) shaped pieces. I grabbed some tape out of my mother's desk and then went outside adn assembled my costume. Ta-da! I was a ghost. Not just any ghost, though.

When people came to the door, I said, "Wooo, I'm Sirius Black."

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.

I need a lab coat. A nice, fireproof, tailored white one, with a breast pocket and some other pockets. A lab coat that I can get embroidered. My year of chemistry won't be complete without conducting at least one lab in a lab coat. Those huge black fireproof rubbery aprons that come down to my ankles are slimming, but too utilitarian. I will REALLY need (read: want) one if we actually have an AP Chemistry class next year. Chemistry is wonderful; I've never liked a school subject as much as this, nor has it come so easily before. I like my chemistry teacher, Ms. Dowler. She has a personality, yet maintains control and a professional distance. Plus we do labs almost twice a week. Labs are so much fun. Last time, I was putting copper (II) nitrate over the bunsen burner to get the nitrogen out. (The reaction made a scary yellow gas that we weren't supposed to breathe.) Then, we were supposed to let the test tube cool, but the bell was about to ring and we needed to finish that part, so Catherine added the nitric acid (to start the opposite reaction) while the test tube was hot. Well, the nitric acid caught on fire in the bottom of the test tube. Catherine was using to dropper to put it in when she said, "Uh, Charlotte, I think it's on fire." And I was holding the test tube with these teeny-weeny forceps, which meant my hands were only about three inches from the flaming test tube. Wonderful. I just stood there for a couple seconds, then filled a crucible with water and dunked the end of the test tube in there until we couldn't see a flame.

Other Chemistry Mishaps
--Our first lab, when we were trying to dry the inside of the graduated cylinder before measuring the hydrochloric acid. I rolled up a paper towel, stuffed it in there, then realized I couldn't get it back out. I tried for about 30 seconds to scrape it out with my fingers, then Catherine took it from me and tried to pry the paper towel out with a pen. No such luck, so I had the bright idea of putting water on top of the paper towel and letting it soak, then maybe it would slide out later. So Catherine and I filled it with water (the paper towel made a good stopper, so it was only about 25 mL of water) and hid it behind our little bucket of materials. At the end of the lab, it was time to wash dishes and the paper towel STILL wouldn't come out, so I hid it under my lab apron when I went out into the hall to the sink full of Alconox. (darn bell will finish later promise.)

I am sitting in comupter class, chewing this absolutely huge wad of gum. It all started when we looked under Tim's desk in French II and found this HUGE piece of red gum that someone stuck under the desk. Well, I had a pack of winterfresh so i decided to try and make an even bigger wad. I chewed five pieces then ran out of gum, so i tried to get moe gum from people (i got three pieces of eclipse from tim, but the wad still wasn't big enough) but then the bell rang. So, now i'm going to have to stick it in a piece of wax paper over the weekend and hope i can find some more gum.
