StellaBirdy sits in the old gum tree

In which my brother is amazing and confusing…

So today my brother got back from the band trip to Florida. Guess who now has Hufflepuff swag? Yeah, that’s right, it’s me. 

So my bro bought me one of those gym bag thingies with the Hufflepuff crest on it. And apparently the cashier at Universal whatever that has the Harry Potter amusement park type place (yeah I’m terrible at names and places) was a Hufflepuff as well! Hufflepuffs, we’re in all the places, making your day brighter. But that was a nice story. Also, I am planning to plan a trip down there sometime because Stella wants her some Butterbeer, gosh dang it! … and a Hogwarts robe…

So then we were all “I wonder what house Bro would be in..” and decided to just get him an account set up on Pottermore and get him sorted. So we did that and he turned out to be a Slytherin. Which is confusing, because Bro is actually quite the teddy bear in personality and hardly acts as the generalized Slytherin is thought to act. But whatever… I guess I can handle having a Slytherin for a brother… maybe… No I can. I mean, just because he’s a Slytherin doesn’t mean he’s a changed person!

So yeah. This is my life right now. Also, I’ve been watching Assassin’s Creed games on Youtube for the past week. Fun times. :D

Why do I keep doing this?

I find a video series or a Youtube channel and just HAVE to watch all of the videos in whatever time I’ve got. 

Seriously… I’m tired of dang videos getting in the way of my plans to be productive and do a bit of actual living!

Youtube… I might have to just go on a hiatus from you for a while…

-sigh-

Somehow I dont think it’s gonna happen anytime soon… What has my life become?

My family is not energy efficient.

I seem to have stumbled upon a shocking truth about my lovely mother and darling brother. I’ve realized that neither of them seems to be able to turn of electronic devices or lights when they leave a room.

I’ve lost count now how many times over the week I’ve noticed the bathroom light on while no one is in there, or the television left going when no one else is in the house and I’m in my room. And the weirdest part is, once I thought a little bit about it, I realized this has been happening throughout my whole life.

And I never noticed it.

How does this happen?

I think I might have to have a talk with my family about energy efficiency and turning off the lights and TV when they leave the house and I’m in my room. Otherwise I fear we’re going to be far poorer than we should be in the future because we’re wasting our money by playing Rocky II to an empty living room.

On second thought… that talk might not happen… I am quite notorious for forgetting to do things I say I’m going to do…

This is my life in one sentence.

So today I was all “Yeah, I’ll just watch a few Youtube videos then get to work organizing my room, and I’ll accomplish stuff and feel oh so productive.”

But that didn’t happen at all.

Now don’t get me wrong, it was a good day. I went shopping with Mom and my brother and got a nice little blister from my flip-flops because it was quite a bit of walking (which admittedly I should do more of). It was nice. We had some family time, checked out Khol’s for the first time since it got built, ate delicious Pizza Inn, and I got a new jacket and and a new book!

So, to make a rambly story short, I got bored in the car and started reading the book I bought (which is “Son of Neptune” by Rick Riordan in case you’re wondering) thinking I was gonna get through one or two chapters then set it aside until I finish reading the book I was working through (“The Help” by Kathryn Stockett, for the curious minded). But that didn’t happen. 

Silly me, I forgot how engrossed I get in stories about demigods… Now I’m on page 190-something of the new book and have no intentions to stop. 

Oh Rick Riordan… your books just hit me with a frying pan and drag me away. Seriously it’s like they kidnap me or something… Guess I wont be joining the real world anytime soon. Try not to miss me too much.

Maybe I’ll be productive tommorow….

ha-ha… I slay me sometimes with these jokes! I know I’ll probably just watch Youtube all day like I did yesterday.

for superpowers. Or at the very least, a boat load of money and the smarts to build a super-suit. 

Somehow I dont think this will be happening…

You’re probably wondering what brings this on. Well, until I can watch The Avengers (which will be a long long while I’m assuming because I’m too poor to go to theatres) I’m gearing up with superhero movies.

Tonight’s movie was The Incredible Hulk. And I enjoyed it greatly.

But now I’m just all “goodness I want to be a superhero”. And this is even though I know all the bad things about having powers. 

I must have something wrong with me. I’m way to old to be daydreaming about this stuff so much, aren’t I?
