John Williams is my favorite composer

Well, after seeing HBP for the second time, I think I liked it more. There were a lot of good parts, it's just that last time, the thing that stuck in my mind was Harry and Ginny's kiss in the Room of Requirement. I think this is because I loved it in the book when Ginny wins the quidditch match and then it's just so simple, "And Harry kissed her," but it was just so bad in the movie. I still think the Burrow attack scene was weird, but I take back what I said about lack of uniforms. They did have them on in the Great Hall and during some scenes, but I just don't picture wearing Converse and flannel shirts when he's not wearing his robes. I don't really remember everything I said in my last post, but it's possible I've changed my mind about a couple other things too.

So on Friday I had a clan sleepover at my house, because we haven't really celebrated anyone's birthday, so we combined them. It's great to be with my very best friends, even when we don't do anything. Indigo's sister bought us cheap wine and we split it, but none of us are very into alcohol, so it was hard to finish. I really don't understand how people can drink so much at parties and stuff. It kind of hurt my throat every time I swallowed, and I wondered why people can drink things that are bad for them to get drunk, even if it tastes bad, but people don't really eat things that taste bad if they are good for them, such as brussels sprouts. Why are humans self-destructive? We also took lots of pictures and ate junk food and stayed up late (for some) and talked about boys and college and life.

And just a while ago, I decided to play my flute. It's been over a year, and I wanted to see how much I remembered or forgot, and replay all the fun songs. I of course played Simple Gifts, our freshman/junior year solo & ensemble song, and Children's March and a bit of Canon and Baroque Hoedown and lots more. Of course I skipped the hard parts which I could never play and went at my own speed on the fast parts, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well I did. But my favorite by far was the John Williams marching band show from my freshman year. They make me soooooo so HAPPY. That was the year I found my best friends, and our friendship blossomed and grew and shaped who I am today. I wish I had access to a baritone, that would just make me overflow right now. I wish I had a pensieve so I could go back and look at band camp memories and tag days and the first clan ceremony bringing us together as sisters and just everything ever. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooohaskjghoa;uhgk!!!

Haha that was so off the cob...
