Something New

So, I redesigned the blog again. The fancy red design got kind of boring for me. I like lots of colours. This design is much more me right now. I actually designed the background myself using MS Paint. It was originally for my bedroom, because I wanted to repaint the walls. I love the colours against the black background.

Anyway, I'm in a really good mood today. I had dance class this afternoon, and for the first time I didn't hurt all over afterwards. Also, I'm going over to Skyres's for a sleepover tomorrow night, and she and Kesha are going to do my hair. In case you didn't know, I have coloured streaks in my hair. I change the colour every month or so. This time I'm dying them purple and blue!

Since it's almost Valentine's Day, I'm working on making Valentines cards for all my friends. I found this super-cute picture to put on the front:

 Now I just have to figure out what to write on the inside. To me, Valentine's Day isn't just about romantic love. It's about letting your family and friends know how much they mean to you. That's why I'm making cards instead of buying them.

So what are your plans for Valentine's Day? Leave me a comment!

Boredom

There's this site I use to design characters, called Meez. When I'm bored I like to go on meez and play around a bit. For example:

I also like to design alternate outfits for some of my characters.

And Halloween costumes.

And dresses.

As you can see, I use Kara the most. She's so easy to dress and so much fun to work with!

If you have some free time and nothing to do with it I would definitely recommend checking out Meez.com!

Christmas Music

So I know I said that I'd do a holiday themed Best of Youtube post, but as you can see that hasn't happened. The holidays were super busy for me this year. I feel really bad, but instead I'm just going to put a link to my Christmas playlist. It's kind of late, I know, but there are some really good songs on the playlist.

Christmas Playlist

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Hanukkah. And if you don't celebrate either of those holidays, I hope you had an awesome holiday season.

Laterz!

New Stuff

Like promised, I have once again redesigned the blog! I absolutely love the red background. What do you guys think?

I also added a Follow Me section to the sidebar. It has links to my other blogs and a couple of different sites I'm on. It also has a link to the brand new Completely Me tumblr account! I just made the account last week, and I'm loving tumblr. It's so quick and easy. I'll probably be updating it a lot more than I update this blog. Don't worry though, I still have plans for new posts, including a holiday themed The Best of YouTube. Stay tuned!

To Skyres

You all know my soul sister Skyres, right? If you don't, than you need to stop reading this right now and check out her blog Writers Den. Don't worry, I'll wait for you

Now that you know a bit about Skyres's writing, you should know a bit about Skyres herself. She's the most amazing person you will ever meet. She's funny, creative, thoughtful, kind, and so much more. I realize that I've already dedicated posts to her on both of my blogs, but here's another one. This is for you Sky!

October and Updates

Happy October everyone! If you read my post last year, you will know that this is my favourite month. Unlike last year, when it was cold and rainy, this year it's sunny and warm out.

There are quite a few things that make this October special, besides the weather. Evanescence's new CD is coming out on the 11th. Skyres will be happy to know that Seizure by Kathy Reichs (the sequel to Virals) will be out on the 18th. On the 25th the newest House of Night and Vampire Diaries novels will be released.

Another exciting thing that happened this month; Skyres and I got VIP tickets to meet Starkid! For those of you that don't know, Starkid is the theatre group that did A Verry Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel. You should also check out their other show, Starship.

My favourite thing about October is definately Halloween! It's my absolute favourite holiday. Despite the fact that I'm 16, I'm going trick-or-treating this year. Skyres and I are going to be Death Eaters this year, and I've been practicing drawing my Dark Mark for weeks. I'm actually getting pretty good at it. Last week we made our wands and tomorrow we're going shopping for the rest of our costume.

In case you haven't noticed yet, I changed the blog design. If you don't like it don't worry, it's only for the month of October. I don't think I'm going to change it back to the old design though. It's time for something new; something Completely Me.

The Best of YouTube: Harry Potter

If you know me, you know that I am a major Harry Potter fan. I saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 on opening day (not at midnight though). I spent the week before that making a bracelet in all the house colours. I stayed up until five in the morning to get onto Pottermore early. I've read all of the books at least seven times. From reading my blog you should have figured out that I go on YouTube a lot. And of course I love watching Harry Potter videos. I've decided that it's about time I do a post of all my favourite Harry Potter videos.

I'm warning you right now, this is going to be a long post. Enjoy.

Videos and Parodies
How Harry Potter Should Have Ended
Disney and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter Friday Parody - Another amazing parody by the Hillywood show!
The Making of Harry Potter Friday Parody - Although this video is over 20 minutes long, it's definitely worth watching.

Tributes
Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home
Harry Potter Freedom Fighter - Really well done, with awesome voiceovers at the beginning
Harry Potter Tribute, for the last movie
Harry Potter - Through the Pensieve - This is the best Harry Potter tribute I have ever seen!

Music
Harry Potter Meets Metal
Harry Potter in 99 Seconds - Absolutely brilliant! I love how so many different songs were used
Harry Potter and the Theme Song
Harry Potter Tonight Tonight
Wizard Love - This song always makes me think of Severus and Lily
Like It's Quidditch - The Harry Potter version of Like a G6
Alohomora (Harry Potter Remix)

Ministry of Magic
I recently discovered something called wrock, aka wizard rock, and instantly fell in love. Shortly after I heard about a band called Ministry of Magic. They are now my favourite band, and these a few of my favourite songs by them. Well, maybe more than a few.
Snape vs Snape
Pensieve Diggory
The Bravest Man I Ever Knew
Only Power Remains
Gryffindor Rally Cry
Epilogue
Marauder's Map
Lightning Struck Tower
Escape From Azkaban
House Song
Harry Potter is Dead
Don't Leave

Other
These are a few of the playlists I have on YouTube. There are too many videos in them to post individually, so I just linked directly to the full playlist. WARNING, some of the videos aren't appropriate for young children.
Potter Puppet Pals
A Very Potter Musical - This is a must see for any major Harry Potter fan. It's funny, has great music, and stars Darren Criss. It's totally awesome!
A Very Potter Sequel - Just as good as AVPM, with new music and new characters.
Songs From AVPM and AVPS

That's all for now! I'm considering doing another Harry Potter related post soon. Any suggestions?
