Solitude: July 2011

Friday, July 15, 2011. Harry Potter and the Epic Conclusion. THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS! HARRY POTTER and THE DEATHLY HALLOWS pt2. I went to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt2 last night with several friends. It was amazing. It picks up right where the last left off (so you really have to watch pt1). From the first moment to the last it was quite a ride- suspenseful, scary, touching, funny, sweet. I've always wanted to use that spell") to her absolutely heartbreaking expre...

This shit will fuck you up. Monday, March 29, 2010. Your mouth is like a funeral, where kisses go to die. Shit, it's been a while.maybe I have no life anymore. All right, let's get started then, shall we? I dunno why I started writing this when I've nothing really of interest to say. To get my life started. Actually I'm itching a bit now. The end is so close, but it's not really the end.it's more like the beginning. I hope that doesn't sound too corny! In other news, the Scott Pilgrim versus The World.

This shit will fuck you up: October 2009
http://eatenbytheweirdfishes.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
This shit will fuck you up. Thursday, October 15, 2009. I'll just start typing and see what I come up with. I wore a corset to college today and now my tummy kinda hurts. I couldn't really breathe for most of my one lecture, but I think it was worth it. My lecturer referred to me as avant-garde, which I'm not really but it was still nice to hear. I've just been running in the dark, which is always fun (unless there's a big dude following behind at an unnaturally slow pace - man I hate that H2. Column onl...

This shit will fuck you up. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. As good as it gets (at least so far! I've sat down about a hundred times over the past few months to write a post in here, but I've never managed to finish one. Perhaps this time I will! So, it's been a long while since I've blogged and an awful lot has changed over the past while so let's try to catch up a bit, shall we? Movie is about to come out in August, but the sixth book is coming out beforehand on July 20th. I am so so so so SO excited! There ar...

This shit will fuck you up. Sunday, November 28, 2010. Yesterday, I met my hero. Yesterday was a very, very important day for me. One of my all-time heroes and idols, the incredible Kat von D, was coming to Dublin to sign her brand new book, The Tattoo Chronicles. She said, smiling hugely at me. "Hi." I whispered back, clutching my book to my chest, totally in awe and completely unable to look her in the eyes. "I love what you're wearing.you match the book! I probably sound like a fucking lunatic, but th...

This shit will fuck you up. Sunday, December 12, 2010. And so, the "Best of 2010" lists begin! So, I am by no means an expert.

My top ten movies of 2010 are as follows (if spoilers slip in, I'm sorry):. 10 A Nightmare On Elm Street. First, let it be known that I am a HUGE Freddy Krueger fan, and the Nightmare On Elm Street. Plus, seeing the big, dumb vampire from the woeful Twilight. And Deep Blue Sea. I'll a...
