MIcroblog day

I've been the worst blogger ever and despite the ambition that graduation + part time job + working computer = blog posts, I forgot to subtract all the time that moving and unpacking ultimately requires from this equation.

HOWEVER

It is Pottertastic Tuesday and I will post dag nabbit. Even if it is just pasting a story tangentially related to the man with the scar from the hilarious website, MyLifeIsAverage.

Today I was sitting on my friends porch. They have automatic porch lights that turn on at 6 o'clock. I waited until 5:59 and shouted "Lumos" at the lights. They turned on. I feel like a wizard. MLIA

ETA:
Today, I was asking my teacher a question about Alcatraz. I said Azkaban. MLIA

ETA part deux:
Today, my family all got new bathrobes. I got a black one, and my brother got a red one. They are really long, and make a *swoosh* noise when you run. I started pretending to be a death eater, and using forks as wands, my brother and I had a fight with magic. My sister called us immature and went back to pretending to be a princess in her pink one. MLIA

ETA (perhaps I should stop reading this site, since many people appear to like Harry Potter and you are now all aware of the fact that instead of blogging I read stupid websites):
At school, I have a class with a kid whose last name is Potter and a kid whose first name is Draco. I might dedicate my entire year to making them hate each other. MLIA

Perhaps if I place the rest in the commentary, no one will notice.

Today, I was in a fight with my dad, and taking some inspiration from Hermione, I called him a foul loathsome evil little cockroach. In response, he said, "At least I'm not a filthy little mudblood!" I have never been more offended in my life. MLIA

Today, I yelled AVADA KEDAVRA! from the second story of a mall, pointing at the people on the floor below. To my intense satisfaction, some guy pretended to die dramatically and dropped to the floor.MLIA.

Today, at church, I realized how much our priest looks like Dumbledore. From that point on, I pretended that everything he said was secretly about defeating Voldemort. It was the most fun I've ever had at mass. MLIA

... and back to MLIA

Today, during orchestra rehearsal, the conductor pointed his baton at me because I wasn't paying attention. I pointed my bow at him and yelled "EXPELLIARMUS!!". He made his baton pop out of his hand as if I disarmed him. He is my favorite conductor now. MLIA.

Not Pottertastic, but Fridiculous all the same:

Today, I hid in my closet for half an hour to avoid doing chores. When I finally came out and walked out to the kitchen my mom asked me how my trip to Narnia was. MLIA.

Last night I couldn't find the light switch in the dark so I yelled 'Lumos!' at the wall. Then my dad comes down the hall, yells 'Petrificus Totalus' at me, and turns the switch that was on the other wall. He calls me an idiot and goes back to bed. I love my dad. MLIA.

Seriously, I feel like I am lacking because my parents aren't this well versed in Potterisms.

Meh, not funny but I've come this far.

Today, I was in the car with my whole family. A Harry Potter themed band was on and it said "Hufflepuff" My mom asked my dad what this meant. Everyone started laughing. We started talking about how much of a muggle she was. She didn't understand. I like my family more now. MLIA

Today , I went to the new Harry Potter movie with a friend . At the part where Dumbledore died , a man close to the front row yelled "NO!" and ran out the emergency exit door . It made my day . MLIA .

This next one makes me realize that I have done this, back when Order of the Phoenix first came out. And Halfblood Prince. I was smart and took off for Deathly Hallows:

Today I was bored at work with nothing to do, so I sat and read Harry Potter. I then realized I was getting paid to read Harry Potter. It's my dream come true. MLIA.

Today, I bought a footlocker trunk and a maroon sunggie. After I paid, the guy behind the counter said, "Have fun at Hogwarts!" It made my life. MLIA

Today, I was driving and I noticed a Geico billboard that had been changed. Someone crossed out "So easy a caveman can do it" and spray painted "So easy a MUGGLE can do it." I want to find the person responsible and marry them. MLIA

Srsly, I want these parents.

Today, my dad was calling the computer shop to ask them why after a month they still hadn't fixed my computer. The shop is called "Computer Wizards." My dad told them "You're more like computer muggles!" I am so proud. MLIA

This one is lame, but fortunately there was another one directly underneath. Phew.

Today, I was at Walmart and I decided to shout "Avada Kadavra!". Someone on the next aisle shouted "Expelliarmus!" right after. It made my day. MLIA

Today, I made a Harry Potter wand. I decided to test it out by saying knox to the lightswitch. The power went out. I'm now convinced I am a wizard. MLIA

Kristi(e) said...

Today, the lights went out all over the block. I'm in London and I jokingly said "I think the Death Eaters are here." Now I'm actually a little bit scared. MLIA

These are awesome, Kristi(e). I especially like the ones where other people respond in kind.

Today at walmart I heard a girl tell her dad she didn't want a Harry Potter back pack because it's not cool and stupid. I shouted AVADA KEDAVRA at her and her dad fell to the floor pretendeding to die. I feel that I successfully embarrassed her and punished her for saying Harry Potter was stupid.

Today, I needed my car keys so I yelled, "ACCIO KEYS!" My brother heard that from the other room and ran into the room I was in and threw them to me. It easily made my day. MLIA

BEST ONE YET!

Today my mum asked me to print out a recipe for a banana cake from the internet. Before printing it off I added the instruction "add a clockwise stir after every seventh counter-clockwise stir." Later on, I saw her staring at it in confusion and then proceeding to try it. I laughed. MLIA

Today I got a college textbook. Inside it said it was the property of the Half-Blood Prince. I made my day. MLIA.
