Give Harry a Chance

Time: 10:00 P.M.
I'm wearing: My mauve Amy Grant-- House of Love Tour shirt, jeans, and still, this annoying cast.
I last ate: Strawberry pancakes at Bob Evans.
Song that's in my head: "All Star" by Smash Mouth.
_________________________________________________________

People tell me, every now and then, that they don't like Harry Potter. I often wonder if they say that just to tick me off, since they know how much I love Harry Potter. When I ask these people why they don't like it, their responses are either "It's dumb" or "It's sinful."

But when I read Harry Potter, all I can think about is how brilliant it is. It's like... J.K. Rowling has created this whole new world with Yule Balls, Quidditch, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and a Marauder's Map. This world is so unlike ours... and yet so similar. There's friendship and bravery, there's a teacher every kid hates, and there are exams and future careers for kids to think about. It's life as we know it, with a cool twist.

As for Harry Potter being sinful, like my cousins think, I just don't see that. Harry Potter's parents died when he was just a baby, and he believes that they're in Heaven. I don't know if he actually believes in God, but does it really matter if he does? What matters to me is that *I do* believe in God. I mean, my religion is strong, and nothing J.K. Rowling writes is going to change that.

It's like, dude, I read The Diary of Anne Frank, and I didn't suddenly turn from Christian to Jewish. Just because some of the Harry Potter characters are Witches and Wizards, I'm not going to break out the Tarot cards and toss out my Bible. The books are fiction! As for impressionable 8-year-olds, all parents need to do is explain to their kids that they're Muggles, and Christian, or Jewish ones. I wish people would crack a Harry Potter book open before throwing them into the fire and repatedly chanting the Lord's Prayer in a panic, or dismissing them as stupid.

...And that's all I have to say about that.

--Holly Rachael :-D

Ron: Hermione... Neville's right! You *are* a girl!
Hermione: Oh, well spotted!
--Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Wheelin' Around

Time: 1:25
I'm wearing: My Old Navy T-shirt, jeans, a new purple tennis shoe on my right foot, and my cast on my left.
I last ate: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with soy milk to dunk for breakfast.
Song that's in my head: That love medley song from Moulin Rouge.
_________________________________________________________

Well, I've been wheelin' around pretty well in my wheel chair, if I do say so myself. I went to the potluck at church on Wednesday, and got a bunch of people to sign my cast. I love the people at my church. They're all so sweet.

My best friend, Sarah, and her very nice boyfriend, Justin came over to visit me yesterday. Sarah, being the sweetheart she is, got me an Anne Geddes (sp?) bunny baby. It's so cute! Oh man! And on the way over, they got into a car accident! It wasn't *too* bad, 'cause nobody really got hurt or anything, but Sarah and Justin were still pretty shaken up about it. Sarah was crying, and Justin was visibly shaking. Poor kids... Ooh! And Justin sort of unofficially proposed to Sarah! I'm so excited for them.

My grandparents have been really great all week long, taking care of me. They've been helping me wheel into the bathroom, wash my hair in the sink, loading me in and out of the car... Those two are like angels on Earth. My mom has been really great, too, of course (as usual). And my dad and brother have been totally awesome, although I think Zach needs to stay away from the wheel chair. The dude ran me right into a table at church the other day!

My dad keeps trying to get me to use my crutches, which is probably a good idea, but I think I should stick to my wheel chair while I'm waiting for my right foot to heal up a little more. Dad says he thinks we might be able to get out to the movies today. I've got a big dose of cabin fever goin' on, so that'd be great if we can manage it.

Alrighty, later!

I Broke My Freakin' Ankles!

Time: 8:27 P.M.
I'm wearing: My "Give a Damn-- Go Vegetarian" shirt, black pants and a big cast on my leg.
I last ate: Square pizza from Little Caeser's.
Song that's in my head: "Hands Clean" by Alannis Morrisette.
_________________________________________________________

On Monday evening, I was carrying groceries into my mom's house when I noticed that Mom had left the door open. Suddenly, my indoor cat, Daria, ran outside, so I chased after her. My mom's yard is full of tree stumps and holes (thanks to the idiotic previous owners of the house). I tripped over a tree stump, caught my left foot in a hole, and promptly twisted both ankles around. I heard my left foot make a loud "CRACK... CRACK!" and I knew I had broken it. My right leg felt broken, too.

I screamed and cried at the top of my lungs. While I lay there in the front yard, my step dad and mom kept trying to catch Daria. Finally, they came over to me and asked what had happened. I cried, "I BROKE BOTH OF MY ANKLES! AAAAAAAAAAAH!" I couldn't stand up and, being quite a fat person, they couldn't very well pick me up and carry me into the house. We eventually decided that I was going to have to crawl into the house on my hands and knees. Gravel got stuck in my palms, and my knees got almost as bruised up as my ankles, but I finally managed to make it into the house.

We weren't sure how they were going to load me into the car to get to the hospital, so I figured I'd sleep on it, and see if my ankles felt better in the morning. Morning came, and no relief came. My step grandma and step great grandma, step sister, brother, and regular grandparents came over and made it clear that I was kind of a moron to have not gone to the hospital the previous night.

With a lot of difficulty, everyone helped me into my brother's car, and I went to the emergency room. They took some painful X-rays there, and a really hot doctor told me I had broken my left ankle in two places, and sprained the right one. So now I'm in a cast, and my church lent me a wheel chair until I can use the crutches the doctor had given me.

So, I'm going to be in a cast for two months. I'll leave now, and simply say, "OOWWWWWWWWWW!" because I've gotta get back to my grandma's house. Bye!

--Holly Rachael :-O

Saturday, March 16, 2002

Ow, My FEEEEEEEET!

Time: 9:29 P.M.
I'm wearing: My blue V-neck sweater and jeans.
I last ate: Some candy that I bought from Lawren.
Song that's in my head: The James Bond theme music, as that's what Dad's got on TV in the family room.
_________________________________________________________

Good LORD, my feet hurt all the time lately! I don't know what the deal is! My brother thinks that my shoes are too high, but I've been wearing five or six-inch heels since fifth grade, and they've never bothered me before. Ouch... See, I'd get some new tennis shoes so that I could walk around comfortably, but it seems that every shoe store I used to go to no longer carries my size, 11. It's RIDICULOUS! I wonder if I could order some out of a catalog or something...

You know what absolutely rocks? This web site: collegeuniv.com. It's this online show... I mean, a cartoon show. It's every bit as hilarious as The Simpsons and the Family Guy. It's just online instead of on TV! Zach's friends, Nick and Chris (the identical twins) told him about it, and I think it's the coolest thing since sliced bread. Everyone must check it out, or I'll hunt them down and make them eat crab colosh.

Holly the Activist

Time: 8:38 P.M.
I'm wearing: My blue Old Navy T-shirt and jeans.
I last ate: Refried beans on tortillas at Don Pablos.
Song that's in my head: "Ain't This the Feeling?" by Bliss 66.
_________________________________________________________

After the spaghetti dinner at church a few nights ago, Mike handed me the newspaper and said, "Hey Holly, look! I *told* you Rosie O'Donnel was gay!" Oh. Okay. But all of a sudden, Mike is making a huge deal about gay people. He's like, "Oh, gay people are just wrong!" and I'm like, "No they're not" and he's like, "Yes... they are."

Anyway, a few nights later, we were all sitting around, watching Once & Again, and it turns out that Jessie is gay. Mike got all grossed out, and ran to the bathroom, making puking sounds. I was like, "Dude. It's just gay people. Get a grip." So Mike goes online and looks up some Bible passages that say being gay is wrong. Geez, I don't think it's wrong to be gay, I just happen to be straight, and I tend to really stick up for gay people, because I know a lot of them, and they're all really nice.

So everybody's like, "Holly, you don't have to be an activist for *everything*!" But I'm a really opinionated person, so I have a tendency to REALLY stick up for everything I believe in. My family (except for my mom) all think I'm nuts for being this way.

One day, when they're least expecting it, I'm going to stick picket signs up their butts.

Vacuuming is For Losers

That's right, I'm anti-vacuuming! I absolutely *REFUSE* to vaccum, in fact! At least until I'm done with this survey, anyway... And then I'm *still* going to put it off for as long as I possibly can!

<< 1]If you could erase one day from your past, which one would it be? Erase a Day, eh? Hmm... That should be a product in the Harry Potter books. Anyhoo, I wish to delete the day in which I got kicked out of Mott.

2]If you had to choose between being 3ft. tall or 9ft. tall which would you be? I'd be 9 feet tall. I'd date wrestlers. Er, I'd try to date wrestlers, anyway.

3]What would you do if you never had to sleep again? I'd be like, "Hey, why am I getting gypped out of sleep?"

4]If you only had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pumpernickel bagels. I never get sick'o those things.

5]If you could be any animal which would you be? An iguana, so I could sit around all day, eating like the vegetarian I am.

6]If you could invent anything? My video game-based theme park, Virtual Universe.

7]If you could live anywhere you wanted? Vegas would be rockin'.

8]If you could choose one person's mind to read, who would it be and why? Norm MacDonald's so I could use the hilarious material he probably thinks up.

9]Snap your fingers, where in the world would you go? Ah, crap. I *can't* snap my fingers! I don't know how! HELP!

10]What would you do if you woke up one morning and discovered you were a boy/girl? I'd be like, "Wow, I'm a boy/girl. A combination of boy and girl. Weird."

11]If you could know the answer to any 3 questions, what would they be? "What's the cure for cancer", "What is the meaning of life", and "Where's the nearest 711? I need some Twizzlers."

12]Choose one word to describe yourself: "Antidisestablishmentarianismish." I don't know what that means, but I think it makes me sound important.

13]If you became famous for something, what would it be for? Trapping Osoma Bin Laden in my half-bathroom. It's impossible to get out of there if you lock it.

14]What, if you could get back one thing you've lost, what would it be? My sanity. I miss it.

15]What car would you be? I'd rather not be a car, thank you.

16]If someone offered you a million $$ to go to school naked, would you? For a million dollar signs? Are you out of your mind?

17]What if someone offered you a million $$ not to speak for a year? Look, I don't want a million dollar signs. Really, quit offering them.

18]If you could change places w/someone famous, who would it be? J.K. Rowling. She'd probably be kind of mad that she had to study to get her G.E.D. while I was counting her Harry Potter cash, but I think she'd get over it.

19]Would you rather fly or breathe underwater? I'll take the way of the merpeople, please.

20]Who's your crush? Mr. Bean. Isn't he everyone's?

21]What would be your ad slogan? "I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, polycystic ovarian syndrome and restless leg syndrome. Doesn't that suck?"

22]If you had a different name what would it be? Amanda Hugginkiss.

23]Favorite Superhero: Bubbles.

24]If you could be any fictional character, who would you be? Hermione Granger. That'd be rockin'.

25]What wish would you want granted? I'd like my thumb to stop hurting so I can hit the space bar comfortably.

Zach and Tracey's Inevitable Breakup

Time: 2:31 P.M.
I'm wearing: My blue "23" sweatshirt and jeans.
I last ate: A pumpernickel bagel from Big Apple Bagels.
Song that's in my head: "Insatiable" by Darren Hayes.
_________________________________________________________

Well, my brother, Zach is no longer with his girlfriend, Tracey. In other words, she dumped him. Tracey had asked Zach not to look at porn, and she found some of his old magazines, and got mad. She threw the magazines in the snow, then threw them in Zach's face. Her final words to him were, "Have fun wacking off for the rest of your life because you're never going to get a girlfriend!" So... no more Zach & Tracey.

Man, I watched this special on Monica Lewinsky, and it was really good. It made me hate Clinton a lot more than I did before. And I actually didn't used to pay a whole heckofalot of attention to politics, so I didn't even know who Linda Tripp was. I'm glad I do now, so I can call her a BACKSTABBING A-HOLE! Okay, well... talk to you later.

Kate & Leopold

Time: 9:17 P.M.
I'm wearing: My green and blue plaid robe over floral pajamas.
I last ate: Cream of brocolli soup at Fuddrucker's.
Song that's in my head: That song from the commercial. You know, "It's your life, feed it right..."

Today, I went out with Mom, Mike, Sarah and Justin to see Kate & Leopold. Mom had picked the movie. I was like, "Kate and Who? What the heck is that?" but I figured I'd give it a chance. Dang, am I glad I did! *Oooh*, that movie was good! It made me want a guy from the 19th century. This Leopold guy stood up whenever a lady did, said the *sweetest* things to Meg Ryan (I mean, Kate) and even hooked Breckyn Meyer (I mean, Charlie) up with the girl of his dreams. This movie had serious "Whoa, baby" quality to it. When it comes out on DVD, I'm so *totally* buying it!

After the movie and Taco Bell, Mom, Sarah, Justin and I headed over to the mall so I could blow some of the birthday money that was burning a hole in my purse. I ended up buying the Bedazzled DVD, and Sarah gave me a late birthday present, the Rat Race DVD. Rockin'.

Welp... my dad wants me to go out to the family room and watch (gags) James Bond with him. He's gotta go on a business trip tomorrow, so I'm going to spend some time with him, even if it *is* spent watching the dreaded Bond. See ya!
