Welcome to my blog!

I am an English major. They say practice makes perfect so here I am practicing my writing in hopes that some day I will be perfect.
This is the world according to me.
I hope you enjoy my insight as much as I enjoy writing it.

Stop reading this, seriously.

Go see The Help. Seriously. Stop reading this and go see it. You all know I am going to just ramble nonsense. Your time would be better spent driving to the local theater and seeing this remarkable movie.
I do not cry in movies. Okay, I do cry in movies but only at stupid parts. I cried in the last Harry Potter movie when I saw certain people passed away. I cried in a flashback scene as the put the whole story together and wrapped it in a neat bow. (I cannot give away too much because I have been informed that some people who read that have not even read the book yet.) I consider them slackers considering the book has already been out for a few years now. Irrelevant.
I have no shame in the fact that I cried in this movie. I grew up with these characters and, in my mind, I was watching a very good friend pass away. It was hard seeing someone I got to know so well, through text, die such a terrible awful death.
I get so involved with characters in books. I get to know them as I watch them struggle. I learn all of their personality quirks in the worse and best scenarios. After reading the Harry Potter books several times throughout the years they have become like a second family to me. It was a safe place for me to go when the world around me let me down. The best part of this connection is when I find someone else who likes the series as much, or more than, I do. I know I am weird but I am perfectly okay with that.
Why are you still reading this? Get back to your life. Get back to work....since I know a certain someone reads this while at work. (Not saying any names of course). In fact I think there are a few people who read this while getting paid. Gee, I wish I could get paid to read non-sense. Instead I get paid to make people fat. I am a minute part of the reason why this country is so obese.
Seriously, stop reading. If you are not working go see that movie. If you are more connected with your emotions than I am you will cry. I almost cried but was unable to do so. I was touched by the movie and I can say, that without a doubt, it is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Yes, this includes the last Harry Potter movie and that is saying a lot. You will laugh. I did. This is not saying much though because I laugh a lot. I like to laugh. It feels good. If you have seen it, you can relate to how powerful the message is behind it. You will be able to agree that the movie is simply phenomenal. And for the person who has not seen it yet...who I was apparently supposed to go see it with...I am sorry but I will go see it again. THAT is how good of a movie it was.
