Hi friends,
So the other day I was visiting my dad who now lives a twenty minute drive from me down in Valley Ridge. Gorgeous place, golf courses that cut through it and way too many people that run out in front of cars as though it is their mission to be hit. I wonder if they are sometimes asking for it. There was a man that was running down the foot path a little in front of me, and it's hard to miss a blue car coming your way as you can both hear it and see it (well, lets hope) and the little man popped out of no where, he might have bloody apparated there and turned to see me with a surprised expression on his face. I obviously stopped though I was tempted to swerve around him and keep on my merry way. I was thinking "Yes wee man, just run in the path of an oncoming car! If this were Europe... man'd be dead"
Anyway! I keep driving and park up outside his drive way and we start talking. He has been issued a warning from the Valley Ridge Estate and the City of Calgary because his lawn was "unkempt". The grass is a little long, but the only way the City of Calgary would be able to send something to him was if a neighbor complained... a neighbor. My dad is now suspicious of everyone. Upon seeing the letter my dad burst into a fit of outrage and quoted part of it for my benefit. He wanted to find out who had complained, but didn't bother. Drafting up a letter that he thought would remedy this situation, he thought if he complained back to them they could do something about:
1. "The woman living across from me is unsightly, this detracts from the enjoyment of my lawn."
2. "The couple next to me own wind chimes, this detracts from the enjoyment of my lawn."
3. "The people living across the way hold barbecues an frequently burn the food, this detracts from the enjoyment of my lawn."
4. "The children that live with the unsightly woman are a nuisance, this detracts from the enjoyment of my lawn."
Needless to say, the City of Calgary wouldn't be too pleased, nor would they be able to do much about it. He was thinking of sending them in individually, but thought better of it.
Thought I just might let you know whats happening recently! I also have a youtube account, not that I do much with it, but if you'd like to have a look search "Bitchidontknowurlife" in the youtube search bar and enjoy all of my recent activity! Im also quite vocal on Twitter, so find me at Frantic_Franny

Well Damn...
Hello folks,
Sorry for the unexplained absence, usually I don't leave for that long without dropping a couple lines about where or what I am doing. My apologies! But, wait till you hear this.
Now to get down to it. Everyone knows a computer is near and dear to many people who don't want to spend the money to get a new one every 6 months that companies feel the need to upgrade them, or have a couple hundred to blow on such things. I am not one, not two, but both of those people. I see no need to transfer my files from one computer to the next every couple months, it is a waste of my time! Also, I don't have a couple hundred dollars to blow because I'd rather spend it on necessities for university, booze and KD for those fun filled nights! (You know, the important things)
Allow me to start from the beginning...
Once upon a time, there was a gorgeous British girl living in Calgary, Alberta (don't ask why, the story is too long) who happened to go to the University of a Near By Town. Yadda, yadda, yadda... bought a computer, loved it, had it for a couple months, lent it to my sisters; they broke it. --_--
Needless to say, the GBG wasn't very happy with this! So she huffed and she puffed and stamped her foot in a fit of anger! (yes, we're talking about me!) Normally, when one borrows something from another person, you need to take care of it and return it in the state that it was given to them in, no?
YES
Its now cracked down the side, the buttons are falling off (this might be down to excessive Tetris usage *shakes fist*, but one can never be sure), plug in doesn't work, won't charge... did I happen to mention... IT DOESN'T CHARGE!?
How on Gods earth am I supposed to be a university student, without a computer that functions perfectly and is up to par with:
- Downloading (purchasing first, obviously) movies off the internet
- Files
- Online Banking
- Payments
- Accessing "The Flyover"
- or random surfing of the World Wide Web, which is of course essential for those boring lectures!
Yes, I am actually asking you this!
I go into Best Buy and talk to the Legion of Geeks that they have handy and ask them for their advice. I ask them how much it would be to cost, now bear in mind that the jack that allows the charger to be plugged in, is attached the the Mother Board... so, readers: I want you to come up with a number that you think would be appropriate to fix my computer. Take a second. Got it? You'll never guess, but guess, go one, guess
$450.00
Bet you NEVER guessed that! Its more than the frigging computer itself!! I ain't never heard of something so ridiculous! My jaw literally smashed into the ground, re bounded and smacked me in the face.
It turned to my sister, said a few choice words (if you know what I mean) and then left.
Essentially, I am now left with a computer which doesn't charge... Moral of the story? Be selfish, and greedy and by God, don't allow anyone to touch your shit.

F.F
Ps. Potter, I knew it was you that went through and disliked them all- so people of the world, don't be a douche like Mr.Potter, because he is now Undesirable No.1... again.

Well, that went well
(SPOILER ALERT)
Two words that make me cry every time someone mentions them. Two words that make me want to curl into a ball and relive everything. Harry Potter.
I went to see the movie with BB an holy good god. I couldn't believe what I had walked into. The cinema was practically empty, the screen massive and in 3D, it was surely going to be epic. We took our seats, my choice of course and waiting for the literal magic to happen. The movie was amazing. Very well done, absolutely epic, the viewing audience was incredible, they all cheered and whooped at all the right points, we all laughed as Ron and Hermione kissed, how Ginny and Harry looked in 19 years time, and how Draco obeyed his mother. How Neville kicked some serious ass, and how Minerva bounced on the balls of her feet with glee after releasing the guards of Hogwarts.
Snapes memories killed me, a little bit of my soul died today. It's one thing to describe it in the books, it's another to show it, and they did a spectacular job of showing him and Evans together. One single tear ran down my cheek as a I watched in complete and utter awe as Snape found her body sprawled on the floor of her decimated house, a final act to prevent Harry from being slain that night. I didn't cry through the movie, but when the 19 years portion had ended, that's when I completely lost it. The finality of the fact that he had kids, really hit home. I tried my hardest not to bawl into BB's chest as we went to the parking lot. He drove me home and I basically ran out of the car and into my garage, not to get away from him, but because I didn't want him seeing and hearing me cry. As soon as I got into the house, I lost all pretense of composure. I hadn't cried this hard since last year when Dear John was released, or The Last Song... some Nicholas Sparks novel. Anyway!
Everyone deserves a round of applause for this. I cried in my room for a solid twenty minutes and thought back to all the memories!
When I was 11, I desperately wanted some fat man to take me to this whole other world, and no, not in the pedophile kind of way, in the Harry Potter way... It never happened, but a girl can dream can't she?
Every single year at halloween: dress up. The first movie I'd went to see of him, amazing. I remember it exactly, I can even quote it. Perhaps not exactly but more or less.
No more movies. No more books. Nothing from Harry Potter. Silence.
The finality literally hits me over the head and demands more tears.
Farewell Harry Potter, your followers will never forget you.
