Patronuses

Oh hi,
I was watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban this morning and I started thinking
about Patronuses. If you haven't made it that far through the series you probably are clueless as to what I'm talking about, but if you have made it that far, I have a question.

What do you think your Patronus(if you could produce one)would take the form of?

I think mine would be an owl. Please post an answer!

Hi 2

Hi,
As you can see, I have failed to create a title that was even the slightest bit interesting. Right now all I could think to write was the horribly tasteless title of "hi 2".

Today(as you most likely know) it was snowing. And you may also know that I love snow. And if you didn't know, now you do. Anywho, right before we left for the YMCA, it started snowing! I ran outside and was dancing around as the fluffy white miracle fluttered around me. We got in the car and I stared out the window at the snow all the way there. Then when we left the Y two and a half hours later, it had stopped snowing. I was rather disappointed. But at least there was a layer of snow about a quarter of an inch high(only in some places, sadly)! That's looking at it with an positive attitude. If you wanted to look at the day with a negative attitude, you might get the following.

"A lousy quarter inch of snow?! It's December, I want to see three feet of nothing but whiteness! Bring on the snow!"

Or something like that.

I don't think that people appreciate the time that there given. Every moment slowly disappears
into the past. So take a little time to enjoy the day. Have a good Friday, December the 10!

Hi

Hi,
I couldn't think of a better title than "Hi" which I've used about a million times as the name for a post, but I didn't think of anything better. Actually I've never been able to come up with anything really good for a name on here, but I have used "Hi!" with an exclamation point on the end and "Hi!2" with a number 2 after it and to keep putting numbers after the word hi would be a tiresome and tedious work, which I would not have the patience to actually do or even to think about doing.

ANYWAYS. . .

Now that I've babbled on about how hard it is for me to come up with titles for posts on this blog, I can say what I was going to say.

HI!

Well, I got that out of my system.

Oh hi,
I'm pretty bored right now because I don't have anything interesting to do. I actually have to go and clean my room(ugh)but I thought that typing something would be much more fun! I thought it would be cool to post what the line for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one looked like on opening night! It popped out of the entrance and then sailed down the the side of the
building. . .


. . . then it went past the parking lot and around the corner.



And we got there at 11:00! this is the line at around 11:25.
Bye!

Maxim and Harry Potter

Peanut Butter and Jelly 2: Frozen Dessert

Hi,

I have a little story about something that just happened.

I was looking through the kitchen for a snack(I usually get snackish around 3:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon) and after checking the fridge and the cupboards at least 4 times a piece, I found something in the freezer. Our last ice cream sandwich. Yay! I took it out and was going to eat it when I started thinking. What did I start thinking about, you may ask? Something besides food, you will be happy to know.

No, not really. I thought about food. I thought about my past posts about food on this blog , and I decided to make a new food. A Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream Sandwich!!
Here's a photo.



Does that look great, or what? An ice cream sandwich with peanut butter and jelly on top followed by a squirt of Reddi-wip, and dowsed in two kinds of syrup chocolate and Maple. Actually it greatly resembles my last PB&J, but this was different. It was better.
By the end of it I was thinking that it was probably too much suger(it was really sweet!), and I can't believe that right before my last bite I thought it would have been awesome if I had added some granulated sugar but I am darn glad that I hadn't.

I was thinking about putting marshmallows on toast tommorow, but that's a different story!

Alex :D

P.S. :Look what Shep did to a garbage bag! OH NO!

Sherlock Holmes

Hello,
I'm watching the new Sherlock Holmes(with Robert Downey Jr.). . . well I'm more just watching the parts I like. Or more so my favorite parts, I love the whole movie. All I want to do now today is play outside!

Yesterday

Hi everyone!
Yesterday was crazy. We got up not so early and were kind of late to something of Maxim's then we went into Harrisburg to drop off our vacuum. I don't think It's working right. Then we went to Chipotle which is a restaurant that's like a healthy, Mexican, Subway. (The restaurant Subway, not the form of transport.) Then we got gas and went home. When we got home we had to set up for our mom and dad's book club holiday party which was AWESOME! I got this puzzle book with different activities and Maxim got this magical creatures hand guide.
After that, Alex and Sophia's mom and dad stayed and talked for a while about our dogs. The word "squirrel" came up and Scout started whimpering and looking at our sliding glass door in the kitchen for the squirrel. It was pretty funny.
Now I think someone is chatting to me on e-mail so I'd better go.
Bye!

Snow and Ice Cream Sandwiches

Hi!
I don't know about the weather where all of you are(and I'm not going to find out), but earlier today over here in our town it was snowing! Not very much(you can't even see it on the ground), and not for very long but it's still snow to me. I'm not sure whether anyone else is as thrilled as I am to see snow(even though it has already snowed this year), but I love snow. Snow is the reason Winter is my favorite season of the year! Speaking of Winter, the first day of Winter is in 17 days, so get out your calenders and start checking off days!

So far today I haven't done much of anything except sit around and watch cartoons all morning and then sit around and do nothing. But I think that's what Saturdays were invented for! Rest and relaxation!

We got ice cream sandwiches yesterday and I am in fact eating my third one in the last 24 hours right now while I'm typing this with one hand. It's actually not that difficult except that the ice cream sandwiches are. . . oops, I just spilled some on my pants. Okay maybe it's not so easy, but anyhow. . . that's everything I've got to say!

Shep

Hi!
I only got up 30 minutes ago, but I usually check this blog right when I wake up. And sometimes I like to type things on this blog in the morning, or whenever I wake up(I'm not saying I always wake up in the morning, but 99% of the time I do). So, I thought I would talk about Shep. Shep was out for a walk this morning and apparently couldn't handle watching a bunch of squirrels, a horse and buggy, and the dog from two houses down. Whenever you tell Shep to do something, he will occasionally cock his head to the side so that one of his ears goes up, the other goes down and look at you with an expression that says "What are you going on about?" We're trying to get him introduced to our cat, Midnight, which isn't going great. We're introducing them through a gate so they can't hurt each other, but a usual meeting goes something like this.

Shep: BARK BARK BARK. . .growl. . . BARK BARK BARK!!

Midnight:HISS!

Shep: BARK BARK BARK!!

And that is usually when we stop.

Thanks for reading!

Fishes

Hello,
I am very surprised that the virtual fish on this blog after being fed so much aren't bigger than they are. Unless I'm the only one that feeds them on a regular basis, which I wouldn't doubt. All I know is that our goldfish at home have appeared to triple in size since we got them. This is probably accurate. Every time you walk by their tank whether to do some snack-searching in the kitchen, or to go to the couch after a fruitful or unfruitful snack-search, they swim to the side of the tank you walk past and start nibbling at the top of the water. You could most likely feed those fish every hour of the day until they grew so big that the tank just couldn't handle the fishes size(I read somewhere that the common goldfish can grow over a foot long, this may or may not be true). Speaking of fish, what do you call more than one fish? I just say "fishes"(as you may have noticed) but I'm pretty sure that the proper term is "fish". That just doesn't sound as nice, does it? Or maybe it does to you, I wouldn't know. I like "fishes" more. That's everything I have to say. I'm sure you all just sighed in relief "Oh good, he's done rambling on about fish," well I will hold you from your business no longer.

Hey Inchers, I found a Pokemon Advent Callender. It has games, puzzels, desktop backrounds, and more. Go to http://advent.serebii.net. Every Day the games and puzzels get harder and the downloadables get more christmissy (I guess), so be sure to check every day. And don't try to skip to the twenty-fourth, it wont work. I tried. Later!

Dictionary Word

Hi again!
If nobody posts anything while I'm typing this, I'm pretty sure this will be the 70th post on this blog. Today I was reading through the dictionary(which is quite interesting) and found this cool word.

Periwinkle - any of a genus (Littorina) of littoral edible marine snails.

In case you didn't know, littoral means growing on or near the shore, especially that of the sea. So periwinkle is a color and a kind of snail! I never knew that but maybe you did. Well that's everything!

Alex

P.S. Happy December! :)
