On the subject of wordplay
I’ve taken to staying up late and chatting with friends online. One in particular likes to show me YouTube Poop videos. But tonight we are talking about our English homework. Writing a style analysis essay. In reference to an Anthony Sullivan one…
heyitsdahveed: I don’t know what to do for syntax…
Lilo: I used organization and repetition.

On the subject of long car rides: Part four
It was round two of “Would you rather?” This time on license plates!
DJSUBLYME: If you had a license plate cover, what would it say?
Lilo: Eeeehhhhhhh, I dunno.
DJSUBLYME: Yeah, I dunno what mine would, either.
Lilo: You already have one! “I’d rather be running…SPORT CHALET!”
DJSUBLYME: Okay, yeah, that’s actually a lie now. I’d really rather be...

On the subject of long car rides: Part three
My brother really likes to play “Would you rather?” This time it was about cars.
DJSUBLYME: Lilo, would you reather have a Ford Fiesta of a Kia Soul, fully-loaded?
Lilo: Uh..Kia Soul. Ford Fiesta looks weird. I’d rather have a box car.
DJSUBLYME: But “fully-loaded” comes with the hamsters.
Lilo: …but hamsters are cool.
DJSUBLYME: But it’s...

On the subject of long car rides: Part two
I never told my brother that I’ve been posting our conversations on Tumblr. He didn’t even know I had a Tumblr. Well, he finally found out.
DJSUBLYME: What are you writing?
Lilo (writing): ….our conversation.
DJSUBLYME: No, you’re not! Really, what are you writing?
Lilo: No, really. Our conversation.
DJSUBLYME: Are you serious?! (facepalming) …why?
Lilo: I put...

On the subject of long car rides: Part one
My brother couldn’t remember where I applied to for college. He started listing them out.
DJSUBLYME: Harvard School of Law?
Lilo: No…I don’t need to study law to be a marine biologist..
DJSUBLYME: Why not? What if you want to be a biologist who fights for the rights of animals?
Lilo: …No, not my thang.
DJSUBLYME: They have the right…to remain. Delicious.

On the subject of typical New Year's Eve programs
It’s New Year’s Eve and my mom is watching Ke$ha perform on TV.
Ke$ha: Hey guys, we’re gonna make 2011 our bitch tonight.
Lilo: Yeah, Mom, make it your bitch.
Mom: Oh, totally…you’re going to regret saying that.
FEARING FOR MY LIFE.

When I see a Hershel/Claire picture
professah:
At first I’m all like
But then I remember she dies a terrible death and I’m like…
OH MY GOODNESS, THIS. I CRIED SO HAAAAAARD. (After I went upstairs since my family was watching a movie all around me…)

On the subject of Oompa Loompas
Today we were being dragged all over California. So my dad could go get..whatever gifts he still needed. Anyways..my brother..
DJSUBLYME: What are you laughing at?
Lilo: You, hahahaha.
DJSUBLYME: Okay, -garbled-oompa.
Lilo: …did you just call me “Oompa Loompa?”
DJSUBLYME: Yes… ♪Oompa Loompa, doopadeedoo. You are one if you aren’t five two.♫
WOOOOW.

On the subject of teaching 10-year-olds
A few weeks ago, we got a new student. She doesn’t really fit in yet, and I felt bad for her the first day, so I kind of spoiled her, but now she’s used to it and I think she takes advantage of me. Unfortunately, I probably showed some of my exasperation and the other kids still haven’t quite accepted her into the group…We’re kind of a weird, dysfunctional...

30-day Harry Potter Challenge Day 21: Out of all...
I feel like the whole concept of the Hallows is that you’re supposed to die and you shouldn’t get a second chance because you’re going to die again anyways.
My favorite character is Severus Snape, but if he hadn’t died, I’m sure Harry would never have seen his memories and no one would ever have appreciated him. Everyone died for a reason. (Even Hedwig, since she...

After this, Johnny Depp started on “My Friends.” DJSUBLYME had something to say about his actions.
Sweeney Todd walks through a crowd with razors in his hands, arms outstretched.
DJSUBLYME: …Okay, wow, bad business strategy!
People have to walk around him in the street.
DJSUBLYME: Hella scaring your customers…
Sweeney Todd goes down the street swiping his razors from...

Next, he noticed Alan Rickman.
DJSUBLYME: Hey, what else is that old guy in?
Lilo: Harry Potter…
DJSUBLYME: Oh YEAH. Of course…
Brother, why don’t you know who Alan Rickman is?! I then had to tell him the plot of the story because he didn’t remember.
DJSUBLYME: Is that the judge?
Lilo: Yup!
DJSUBLYME: SLYTHERIIN. I’m gonna say that every time I see him. Like,...

Yesterday, I was the first up, as usual (except it was pretty late, like 10:30) so I decided to watch Sweeney Todd.Because my brothers hate musicals. Anyways..DJSUBLYME finally woke up and actually watched some of it with me.
DJSUBLYME: Hey, did you know? Johnny Depp only says like, 130 words in this!
Lilo: No, that was a different movie…and it was 169.
DJSUBLYME: What?! What movie?!

Tonight I went to a long-awaited party where I got to see my long-lost cousin for the first time again since her wedding in October! as always…there was a poop-ton of appetizers.

I’ve gotta say, I’ve enjoyed the books a lot more than the films, but I love that the films finally gave the characters a face. I don’t even remember what I thought they looked like before the films.
There’s also a few moments I really like about the books, but I already wrote about those, haha.

On the subject of rainbows
Today as we were driving to Otaez, we happened to pass a curiously named eatery.
DJSUBLYME: DOUBLE RAINBOW CAFÉ…
Lilo: ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE STREET.
DJSUBLYME: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
I know what you’re thinking. We are awesome.

Today we went to Otaez for lunch. Riding in the car and listening to the radio.
DJSUBLYME: Lilo, who do you think you are? Running around and leaving scars?
Lilo: Ew, stop.
DJSUBLYME: Collecting your jar of hearts, are you?
Lilo: No, stop. You’re going to catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. Who do you think you are?
After lunch, my other brother got a haircut.
Lilo: Giraffics,...
I know I said I was done
but I just now came to a conclusion. And now I’m feeling really used, but I guess it’s better that we stay friends. Except when I think back, I really thought this was going somewhere. Well, thanks for the ride anyways.
One contemplative thought for the day.
I’ve been trying to post less personal things lately, but I’ve gotten to the point where I’m seriously frustrated. There is a person I like a lot and I have yet to learn if that person feels the same way. I would hate for things to turn awkward, though, so I just sit here all the time wondering if I’m being stupid. I wish that person would just come out and tell me because...

I wouldn’t say I hate any of the books. They are all magic. But seriously, even though Order of the Phoenix is a transition book, I reaaally did not enjoy it. It was too boring for me and I kind of dragged myself through it. ): The only part I really liked was “Christmas on the Closed Ward,” because I think that’s really when Neville started to come out of his shell and...

30-day Harry Potter Challenge Day 17: Are you...
Oddly enough, there was no Day 16.
By now I’ve seen the movie, but to be honest, I was wary about it beforehand. After the extreme letdown that was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I wasn’t so keen on watching Deathly Hallows, but after I saw everyone getting so excited and ultimately satisfied by/with the movie, I finally went to go see it. (I even skipped class for the first...

On the subject of youth these days
I teach kids swimming at the local pool. They’re all younger than me and when I begin the sessions, there’s another group of even younger kids in the next pool over. Every now and then they choose to make snide comments to me and my group mates.
Lilo (and friends): OH MAN, I LOVE HARRY POTTER SO MUUCH. -continued gushing-
Random younger kid: Harry Potter sucks. I hate Harry Potter!

On the subject of skiing
My brother moved back home with us this summer. The vast majority of his stuff is here in the office with me. I like to call it “The Cave.” He’s going skiing this weekend.
DJSUBLYME (rummaging):Are my ski goggles in here? …Is the question I would like to ask you. And the correct answer is..
Lilo: ..I don’t know.
DJSUBLYME: And the correct answer is…F***. And...

30-day Harry Potter Challenge Day 15: Who would be...
I’m unsure whether I’m meant to pick three characters or actual people. So I’ll do two characters and a real person.
Two Characters:
Luna Lovegood: She is so incredibly adorable and no one really seems to get her, but I enjoy her musings on life and magical creatures. She also has that uncanny ability to see through people. Her quirkiness is definitely a high point.
Neville...

This one is kind of a tie. First off, I don’t even like the fifth book, so I wasn’t expecting to like the movie that much. It’s slow, nothing happens and Dumbledore doesn’t get to be badass enough.
What disappointed me the most was the sixth movie. I mean, it’s my FAVORITE book and I don’t feel the movie did it much justice. They focused in too much on the teen...

Hi, Lupin and Tonks because they are two of my favorite characters and it was so adorable (yet somewhat depressing) when Tonks changed her Patronus to a werewolf.

30-day Harry Potter Challenge Day 11: What...
Hmm..this is tough.
I kind of want to say I’m a Lupin. I dunno, I kind of feel like I’m the one in my group of friends who’d be doing well on her OWLs and NEWTs and being a prefect, but also letting her friends get away with stuff, haha. And I like to think that my core group of friends would be willing to illegally become Animagi to keep me company when that time of the month...

30-day Harry Potter Challenge Day 10: Hallows or...
I choose Hallows because I’d never want to kill someone and then rip my soul apart and stuff it into something. I think that once you’re dead, you’re dead, you shouldn’t get a second chance. (EXCEPT I THINK THE CONCEPT OF TIME-LEAPING IS PRETTY AMAZING.)
I also think it’d be cool to cheat death and then hide from him for forever. And when you finally get bored with...
