The end of an Era.

Well folks, it's officially time to grow up and be an adult. The 15 year journey with Harry Potter ended with the last movie at Thursday nights midnight premier. Although I saw it again this morning, so I guess technically my childhood doesn't have to be over until I say so. I'm turning 22 on Thursday, but that can still be considered a kid, right?!

Anyways, the movie did not disappoint. Seeing it at midnight and being exhausted beyond belief the next day at work was completely worth it because I've never missed a midnight premier of a book OR film. And if you know me, sleep is basically my number one priority in life so if I'm going out at midnight it MUST be for something awesome. And it was.

I can't explain how invested I've been in these books since I was 7 years old. I started reading them when the second book had JUST come out and no one knew who HP was. I dressed as him for Halloween that year and people looked at me like I was this crazy girl carrying a broom stick around. Little did they know....

And I'm still dressing up all these years later.

A Tribute to Titanic and the Oscars

I love Oscar night. My family has always been huge movie-goers because my dad has worked in the industry for years, and we make it a point to see every nominated movie we can before the ceremony. We each fill out a copy of the Oscar Ballot before the show and compare who predicted the most wins throughout the night.

When we lived in California we used to share this tradition with another family (the Welsh's, aka my best friend Cory) and we would all gather around the TV and gaze at the good looking celebrities in their fancy gowns on the bold red carpet. Cory and I used to fight over who would get to marry Leonardo DiCaprio because he made our hearts melt after "Titanic."

1998 was the first time I remember loving the awards and it was because of Titanic. I saw that movie 7 times in theaters, including two times in one day and once on Christmas eve. Needless to say, the movie's amazing-ness allowed it to win 11 Academy Awards that year, including the prestigious best picture award.


In my opinion, no film has topped it since (not even James Cameron's new film Avatar. I'm sorry but, it can't). It touched my heart and convinced me that epic love stories do exist. I was only 8 at the time but I'll never forget the obsession I had with everything about it (I had 3 Titanic posters and 6 books on Leo for God's sake!) and the way it made my 8 year old heart feel.

So here's to Oscar night again with 2 of my favorite actors/comedians hosting and some great movies being nominated. Tonight I'll be rooting for Up, A Single Man, and Inglorious Basterds.
