Combining My Obsessions

Time: 10:28 A.M.
Song in my head: "Everything" by Lifehouse
I last ate: A raison bagel with soy butter for breakfast.
I'm wearing: My Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure shirt and multi-colored jeans.
_________________________________________________________

You know, I've been trying to write a good Daria fan ficiton since I first became obsessed with it. But I've never been able to finish one. Now that I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, I was thinking about writing a Harry Potter fan fiction. But I don't have any ideas for a Harry Potter fan fiction.

Then I got to wondering, what if I wrote a Harry Potter/Daria crossover fan fiction? I know everything there is to know and more about Daria, and pretty much everything about Harry Potter. Maybe this would be something I could actually finish.

The only problem is, I would have to come up with a plot (duh). Now, what the heck would Harry Potter be doing in Lawndale, and why would Daria be at Hogwart's? Hmm... Well, I suppose I'll go, check out some other web sites while I ponder this.

Later!

_________________________________________________________

That's it, I'm officially addicted to Harry Potter. I had to see the movie again, so I took my mom, Mike, and my grandparents Shoup to it yesterday. Mike kept yelling stuff at the screen like an idiot, and Grandpa kept looking at his watch and sighing loudly. But Mom and Grandma say they liked it.

I finished the second Harry Potter book, and now I'm onto the third. Zach's all, "Holly, you moron, Harry Potter is for little kids." Well, you know what? Hand me a box of Crayola's and let's have dinner at Chuck E. Cheese, 'cause I can't help it, I *love* Harry Potter!

Since we've been reading and writing about Harry Potter in my English class, my grades have been going up like heck. It's amazing. So I guess this is one obsession that's good for me!

Well, see ya!

Uh-oh, Holly's got a *new* obsession...

Time: 3:20 P.M.
Song in my head: "Hero" by Enrique Iglesius
I last ate: An apple for breakfast.
I'm wearing: My Mr. Rogers shirt and tie-up jeans.
________________________________________________________

I've talked about nothing but Harry Potter for the last... (counts) four days. I'm sure I'm annoying everyone with it, especially Zach, since he's said so on more than one occasion.

*Sigh*, but I can't help it, once I'm obsessed with something, I am *REALLY* obsessed with it. Yesterday, I went to see the Harry Potter movie again with my dad, Zach, and Ali (Zach and Ali sat in the row behind Dad and I). I kept laughing and nudging Dad because every now and then, I'd hear somebody snoring. I didn't find out till the movie was over that is was Zach! Heheheh. Poor little guy, he's got strep throat...

So, I got the second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and I'm almost done with it. I've been going to fanfiction.net every second of the day to read Harry Potter fan fiction. I found out I'm a Harry/Hermione 'shipper! Rock on.

And that is why I haven't written in my diary for the past four days. I'm too hung up on fan fiction such as this one. http://fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=463808.

Well, see ya.

Harry Potter and the Stupid Students

Time: 7:17 P.M.
Song in my head: "Everything to Everyone" by Everclear.
I last ate: Pizza at Mario's.
I'm wearing: My black and gold Amy Grant Chirstmas shirt and jeans.
________________________________________________________

We read Harry Potter and the Sourcerer's Stone in my English class, so today, we went to see the movie. I was looking forward to seeing the movie, but I was dreading the fact that I'd be seeing it with my idiotic classmates.

Turns out I was right to dread. This guy, Tyson, sat next to me on the bus, and this guy who wears a tether and has terrets syndrome, was like, "Hey, Tyson, is that fat chick your girl, dawg?" talking about me, so I was like, "Hey, terrets boy, how's that tether working out for you?" I just hope he doesn't kill me for saying that, 'cause... well, what did he do to get the tether, for God's sake?

*Sigh*, so anyway, the movie was really good. They left a lot of stuff out that was in the book, but that's okay. It still rocked. I was telling this chick, Erin, that I thought Harry should hook up with Hermione, and she was like, "Dude... they're eleven." Who cares, they'd make a good couple! They're such a couple of little cuties! I think that Ron dude is into her, though.

Woo hoo, five day weekend! Okay, see ya.

*Sob*, I miss Sarah!

Time: 10:50 A.M.
Song in my head: "For Your Love" by Jessica Simpson and "You Make Me" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
I last ate: Peanut butter and jelly toast with soy milk to dunk for breakfast.
I'm wearing: "United We Stand" shirt with glittery flag on it and the jeans that look like they tie up at the bottom.
_________________________________________________________

Okay, so I didn't like Zach and Sarah as a couple. They were always either making out or arguing like old married people. They were always jealous or suspicious of each other, and it was very annoying. That's why I was so happy when they broke up.

But now I never see Sarah anymore. Zach used to pick her up from work every Saturday, and take the three of us would go to Pizza Hut before she had to go home. Then, the next day, we'd go to the mall, or see a movie, or *something*. Now we don't do anything together.

Of course Zach and Sarah aren't going to spend as much time together as they used to, they're not a couple anymore, and they're each seeing someone new. But it would be nice if they could be friends. I just really miss seeing her all the time.

Well, I've gotta go, it's almost time for lunch, and I'm *HUNGRAY*! See ya!

*Musically* What's goin' on...

Time: 10:45 A.M.
Song in my head: "What's Going On" by... all those people.
I last ate: A bagel with low-sugar strawberry jelly for breakfast.
I'm wearing: My Planet Hollywood Walt Disney World shirt and jeans.
_________________________________________________________

Wednesday was Sarah's birthday, and we were going to go bowling, but open-bowl didn't start till 9, since I had to be back to Bay City that night. I didn't even get to see her to give her her present, though. *Pouts*. Zach's going to drive me to Sarah's when I get back to Flint today so I can give her her present. It's probably going to be uncomfortable, because Zach and Sarah broke up, and they're both going out with other people now.

Immediately following her breakup with Zach, Sarah began dating a guy that she works with, Justin. Zach got pretty upset about it, and he's mad at Sarah right now. That really sucks, because I want them to be friends. I mean, when Sarah comes over, I don't want Zach to go hide in his room or something. Geez, this is *really* going to suck.

A few days after Sarah hooked up with Justin, Zach went online and found a girl who lives in Grand Blanc named Ali (pronounced Ally). As it turns out, she went to girl scouts with my cousin, Lindsay, in junior high. Ali likes all the same things as Zach, including Johnny Bravo, Mr. Bean, and Cludus T. Judd! She likes Daria, so she's okay in my book.

Mike needs to find a job. Like, really bad. My mom's working at Target, and that's hardly going to pay the bills. So, Mike went to the library the other day, and looked up a bunch of jobs. He found lots of good ones... but none in Michigan! He's like, "Okay, let's move to Virginia!" Is he totally gone? I'm not going to just up and move to Virginia! I've never been there, I have no desire to go there, and dude... I go to my dad's on the weekends! And I've gotta go to school here, geez. It's a freaking five-hour drive from Virginia to Michigan. So, we were saying that maybe just Mike could move there for a month or two to collect some money so he could start his own business here or something.

Well... looks like it's about time for lunch. G2G. See ya!

Jason Wade is Adorable

I love Lifehouse. More specifically, I love Lifehouse's lead singer, Jason Wade. What... a *hottie*. All of the lyrics on the CD were written by him, and those lyrics are enough to make you fall head over heels in love with whoever wrote them. I mean, "And how can I stand here with you... and not be moved by you? Could you tell me, how could it be any better than this?" That's good stuff.

It's not just the lyrics, though. Listen to Jason's voice. It's like... the best voice since Trent Lane on Daria. When my head hurts, I listen to Lifehouse because Jason's voice works better on my headaches than Tylenol.

But it's not just the lyrics, either. Take a *gander* at Jason. He just *looks* as sweet as a pound of Reeses. The man is absolutely incredible...

Even though all these characteristics make Jason Wade like, the most desirable guy I've ever heard of, what really gets me is what a sweetheart he is. He's such a good guy!

Jason's parents are both ministers, and when he was just a pre-teen, his family moved from California to Japan. There, he was a total outcast because he was on of the only two white kids in his community.

Despite the pitiful alienation he suffered from as a kid, and the traumatizing divorce Jason's parents ultimitely went through, he turned out to be about the best guy I've ever seen. He's a good, strong Christian, and he didn't give up his virginity until marriage, because he believed in not having sex until you find the one you know you're going to love for the rest of your life. He is the man for that, and it's really cool to me, because that's what I believe in, and I'm sticking to it no matter what!

Jason Wade is such the man. Don't'cha just *love* him?! Okay, well, see ya later!

K-Pax and Someone Like You

Time: 10:44 P.M.
Song in my head: "What U See is What U Get" by Britney Spears
I last ate: Awesome salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's.
I'm wearing: My Planet Hollywood Orlando shirt and jeans.
________________________________________________________

My favorite diary is Fox's.Sunflower.Seed, and she does like, a little survey before she does her entry, and I love that! I'm sorry to steal her rockin' idea, though, and if she doesn't want me to do it, I won't.

I went with my dad today to see K-Pax, the movie he's really been wanting to see. I thought it'd be pretty good, and as it turns out, I love it! K-Pax was brilliant. The screen-play writer really had to do a lot of research on the solar system and psychiatric disorders to write it. It was one of those movies that inspires you... or at least, it inspired me.

But what *really* inspired me was the movie Dad and I rented, and just finished watching, Someone Like You. It's a movie that I always really wanted to see, and I *LOOOOOOOOVED* it! Ashley Judd is one of my favorite actresses, so the movie gets extra bonus points with me because of that. But with or without Ashley Judd, I would have *loved* this movie.

Jane, Ashley's character in Someone Like You, came up with this "old cow" theory, and I thought it was really cool. It was comparing men to male cows (well... um, bulls). Jane researched bulls, and found out that, after they've mated with a cow, they won't be even slightly interested in her after that, because they've already done her. She said human guys were the same way because this dork dumped her and... I won't tell the whole plot, but I loved it, anyway!

*Angry gasp*, my mom called me earlier to tell me that she fell down the stairs and twisted her ankle *bad*, leaving it all black and blue! Mike was such a jerk about it, all he could say was, "Well, are you still going to the game with me?" She was like, "No, I twisted my *ankle*! I can't even *walk*!" Once she managed to get back up the stairs, she was in too much pain to get to the couch or anything, so she just lay there on the kitchen floor screaming and crying in pain. Mike is such a jerk sometimes, I'd just like to haul off and*SMACK* him! Ugh! My poor Mommy! I wish I were there to help her out with her ankle, and cuss stupid Mike out!

Well... I'm going to read some nice, romantic Daria fan fiction to calm me down. See ya!

No more hockey team?!

Today was a pretty good day. I went to school and watched Romeo and Juliet and heard students in the other room watching Shrek (lucky jerks), and I ate my white chocolate chunk cookies... but then Mike picked me up from school half an hour late, and I waited in the cold with this girl named Lisa with really good hair. Anyway, Mike said he sold the hockey team to some guy named Joe today!

Apparently, this millionaire guy named Barry was being a dork, and said Mike had to give up the Hurricanes because Mike didn't do all these really stupid things. He said, to own a hockey team, Mike had to "have a cell phone other than his wife's." They can't *make* him have a cell phone! That idiot.

So, no more hockey players for me. I'm so upset about it! I still can't believe the team is *gone*! Just like that. *Sigh*.

But at least this happened: This new student came to my school today (a really hot one, I might add). We'd been watching Romeo and Juliet for the last couple of days, and today, we watched the end. I guess the new guy must have never seen the movie, because when Romeo and Juliet died, he started crying! He seemed really embarrassed about it, especially since the other guys were calling him gay and stuff, but I was like, "Don't worry about it, I cried the first ten times I saw it, too." He talked to me for the rest of the hour, and his favorite bands are Lifehouse and Nickelback! Well, dude, mine too! Rockin'! This guy kicks butt.

Woo hoo! Imood.com added a whole bunch of new faces! Later!

Naked hockey players!

Alright! Mike decided that the hockey players should pose naked (yeah, that Mike...) and cover their... um... areas with their hockey sticks and gloves. Some of the guys didn't do such a good job of covering (good Lord!) so we're going to airbrush the pictures. We're going to make these pictures into posters that say "The Tri-City Hurricanes Are the Best! How Much More Do We Have to Show You?"

Well, without telling Mike or Kurt, or anybody, my mom got doubles of the pictures, and gave the copies to me! I have the best mom in the world! How many parents would do that for their kids?! She is the chick.

Well, it's time for lunch, so I've gotta go before I get locked in the classroom. Later!

No costume for me!

Something seemed different about Halloween this year. Hmm... ah yes, for the first time ever, in my whole life, I didn't wear a costume! I was going to be my grandpa Shoup, but I didn't realize how fast Halloween was coming up, and by the time I did realize it, it *was* Halloween. *Sigh*. Sarah didn't make me go trick-or-treating with her, but I still feel kind of guilty that I didn't do it.

On Tuesday, I went to see On the Line with Mom and Sarah. It was absolutely adorable! Lance is a rockin' actor, as is Joey. But dude, all the members of 'N Sync were in the end except for J.C. So that sucks.

Woo hoooooooo! Thanksgiving is coming up, and you know what that means... SO IS CHRISTMAS! I love Christmas as much as life itself. Especially Christmas music... and Christmas lights, and Christmas shopping, and Christmas parties... ah heck, I love everything about Christmas! It absolutely rocks! So Mom and I have started playing our Christmas music. I can't wait till it starts snowing and stuff!

Dude, I've gotta get rid of this Halloweenie diary and make it Thanksgivingie. Oooh, happy Shrek day, by the way! Later!
