The end of a lot of things!

First, we will miss Grandpa Griffith as it is ...but know that it is for the better good that these things happen. Being in a couple of bands that have broken up i know that it is not worth going through the motions if you aren't happy. It doesn't make the music good and the tension in the band causes problems all around. Its just great that the friends that were created before the band will be able to still be intact....to me that is what matters in life most, friendships! (btw, i do have pictures from the show that will be posted on my GG pic page soon!)

Second, the end of harry potter! the book was great! i'm not going to go into great detail at the moment other than that because i know several of you haven't read it and are planning too. there are sad parts and there are parts that you cry because they are just so great...but overall, i think this was a great ending to a great series and i feel like a part of me is missing...i'm not sure how i'm going to fill that hole. :( but alas, i can still re-read them and then when i have kids that can be their bed time stories! :)

Thursday and Friday of this last week i worked at camp shiloh...they needed someone to fill in so i went and helped. i love that camp...it makes me happy and i think they do great things for kids that great things don't happen very often. kids that need help and that not just a week at camp will be able to help. example...i was put in the discipline tent on friday afternoon. these kids were talking about thinking it was funny to hurt people. that watching people fall when you hit them was funny. one of these kids was talking about someone that he saw getting shot not to long ago. as i was watching this kid (who had to at least be 11, maybe older) i noticed he still sucked his thumb. that is his security. i wish there was some easy way to help these kids and their families...

We have the inspection for the house this friday....hopefully everything goes okay.

still down

the computer system at work is still down...if it isn't repaired by the time lunch comes around i think i'm going to leave early! :) anyway, i made cody this harry potter shirt last night to wear to the harry potter book release thing at borders we are going to on Friday night! i embrace my nerd-dom. i am making me and my bother and sister one also...those will be posted later :)

snape is good!

Okay...obviously i'm getting really really excited about the next and last harry potter book! so today i've been reading some theories for book 7 and have a few of my own...so i'm going to share them with all of my blog friends :)

1. as my subject states, i don't believe snape is working for voldemort...i think that dumbledore convinced snape to kill him for some reason...

2. and the reason that i'm beginning to like for his killing dumbledore is that dumbledore has put some sort of protection over harry by dying....something like what lillie did.

3. i don't think harry is going to die (although according to cody that would be the only way to make a GREAT book, i sometimes think he smokes stuff when i'm not around :) although i do believe that ron or hermonie dies and that just makes me extremely upset so i'm not thinking about it!

4. i think dracos mom (narcissa) will give up her life for draco's life

5. neville will avenge his parents by killing bellatrix lestrange, jkr uses the sympathy card to much when talking about neville for him not to avenge his parents

6. dumbledore is dead but is not gone, he will come back weather its in portraits of himself or as a ghost but he will help out harry somehow (even jkr said something about she was having a hard time with fitting dumbledore in the writting of the 7th book)

7. harry is not a horcrux and neither is neville (this theory just seems really absurd to me :) (but the fact that i'm writing out theories for an upcoming harry potter book is pretty absurd too :)

8. draco will have a chance to kill harry, ron or hermonie and won't do it, abandoning the dark side, but i don't think he will come straight over to the good side :)

9. pettigrew (wormtail) owes his life to harry and will somehow repay that

10. harry doesn't have enough knowledge to kills voldemort by himself...there is going to have to be someone that will help him.

i tend not to care about the "relationship" and wedding stuff...so i'm really good with whatever happens there.

i do have a question though...jkr states that there are two main characters that die in the 7th book....what is her definition of a main character i wonder...i think most people are thinking it will be two from harry, ron, hermonie and hagrid...i agree that those are important main character but we know that either voldemort or harry have to die...so there is one out of the way....and really the other main character can be from the "dark side"...lucious and draco malfoy are just as main character as hargid in my book....

THIS IS A SPOILER page that i believe is totally wrong but i'm posting here anyway :) spoiler

and guess what...a theme park

never say never

i'm sure that there will be more harry potter to come this week as we get closer to the book... :) and i've had A LOT of free time today, being as the computer system at work in on the fritz, i'm bored out of my mind though! :)

Whats been happening! :)

So...its been a few days since i've really posted anything and a ton has happened...first...I think that the 5th harry potter movie was the best of the movies so far! Yes, it did leave things out...yes, it did change some things around but i think it got most of the points from the book across and did it much better than the other movies...my mother thinks it was somewhat dark but the whole 5th book is somewhat dark so what can you expect...i'm truly excited for Friday...the last book for the harry potter series (for now anyway :)....i've got my on reserve at Borders and we are planning on going to the ball :) we aren't actually going to dress up for the ball but whatever...we are making shirts :) which will give me something else to waste time doing today.

Lisa and I also played the Woody Gutherie festival this weekend....it was awesome...first the show was great, we had a really good set. Then, although, i'm new to the folk world, it is so much different....they are really laid back and cool and all these amazing musicians are walking around just chilling, talking music stuff...there is no feeling that even though you are not a headliner that you aren't important to music too...its was just great. the little town of okemah is prefect too...you have your couple of bars that are played at and a little theatre (they did most of the large shows there because of all the rain). As a musician you get kind of treated as royality...you get free food all weekend...you get special attention when you need something, but only if you have the badge on... :) Then although i didn't get to stay...all the musician then jam at all hours of the night in the motel parking lot...forming little groups and it just doesn't matter if you are a little know musician or a headlining one...everyone is pretty much just all about the music...it is extrememly awesome! :)

Then, lastly but for sure not leastly...cody put a offer on a house last night...its in the miller addition and its extremely cute...we should know probably later today if they will take the offer or counter offer...cody is A LOT nervous about it...but he has things in his favor...it is very exciting stuff...if all goes well he will be closing on the house Aug 15th. we will have a house warming party maybe around halloween :) hehe! :)

HARRY POTTER

Was AWESOME!! i didn't really care for the 5th book much but i LOVED the movie...it was for sure worth getting to the theatre at 8 o'clock last night and sitting in line for 2.5 hours, eating hot pickles (pictures on the way) :) i did have good company....though! :) and then the fam showed up to continue the harry potter family traditions of our midnight harry potter! :) oh exciting stuff...i'm currently listening to the 6th book...before the 7th book...which will be another great mid-night event oh so soon.... :) I didn't dress up last night but i'm going to (or at least make a shirt) for the book! :) The pickle pictures will come up soon...i'm also going to post some pictures of our float trip shortly...good time...and i'll post my friend toris myspace blog about the float trip so everyone will know! :)

I am a NERD

but there are a lot more nerdy people than me...and a little bit on the insane side! Yes, i am going to see harry potter tonight at mid-night...with some equally nerdy family and friends...BUT i called to see what time would be good to come stand in line and was told that there were already 20 people in line...WTF....20 people already in line to see harry potter...i guess i'm not as die hard a fan as i thought...although i am really excited and am going to the mid-night showing! :)



anyway..on a more fun note...we had a girls fun trip floating yesterday...go to science vixens myspace blog to see the very accurate account of the trip....fun fun time...i recommend taking a bunch of friends and spending a day at the river...



also, lisa and i are back from dallas...it was awesome and fun show. our first road trip was successful! hooray...well, my car may never be the same again...okay so that an over exageration...the car will work again after i get new wheels and tires...yeap...more tire problems...custom wheels are a pain in the ass...just FYI! :)

i will fill you in tomorrow on the greatness of harry potter :)
