The swingset is where I go to both escape and [over]analyze life. Back and Forth.
As far as fictional worlds, my picks include, but are not limited to: Harry Potter, Disney, The Wizard of Oz/Wicked, Hey Arnold!, Dexter, LOST, South Park, Dr. Horrible, Buffy, and Avatar
Anime: Bleach, FMA, Fruits Basket, Death Note, Ouran High School Host Club, Hetalia, Chobits, Soul Eater and more. Not very obscure, but I'm a relative newb.

So, Birthday 2011 was pretty much the best.
It started out with a mysterious message outside my window. Following a cryptic introductory poem, there was a riddle waiting to be solved. After a series of tasks which involved math, logic, code-cracking and even digging something up in my back yard, I received the best birthday present since Deathly Hallows was released on my birthday in 2007.
Box after progressively smaller box was torn open to reveal an entirely ordinary copy of the seventh book. One more riddle led me to the very back of the book where I would find my HOGWARTS ACCEPTANCE LETTER!!!!
I, Paper X. Moon, will be leaving for Hogwarts, Orlando FL. August 4th and never coming back!
I just had to tell someone since everyone in my life hates me now since I get to go and they don't. :[
So, to sum up how I'm feeling, I'll leave it to a Disney Princess:
Day - whatever

Riddle's Diary
Surprised it's not Ravenclaw's Diadem?
Well, out of all of the objects, the diary seemed the most... narrative:
- Riddle's Diary
- Marvolo's Ring
- Slytherin's Locket
- Hufflepuff's Cup
- Ravenclaw's Diadem
- Nagini
- Harry Freakin Potter!
With the exception of the last two, the diary was the one that could actually sort of reach out, and even possess someone. As a diary, it's function is to keep your trust and secrets. It's your 'little friend in your pocket' -dirty!- think of how cool it would be to have a book that writes back, and to have that friend stab you in the back is a terrifying, and ultimate betrayal!
Funny how Harry ends up stabbing it in the back.
Plus: bleeding ink is kickass!
The countdown to the movie has stopped, but my love for hp hasn't, and nor should this list!
Today's subject: Helena Ravenclaw
I really liked her story in the book which, unfortunately, was cut down for the movie, but still well done.
The midnight release was beyond what I ever imagined to be fun. Unfortunately my camera wasn't working so I'm blindly relying on the photography skills of others. As the four founders of Hogwarts, we graciously posed for pictures taken not only by fans, but by the theater. Unexpected flattery!
Here is a preview of what's hopefully to come as we plan to take a day to photograph our characters properly.
Here's some 'Helena' mood music:
There's only about 12 more hours left.
I have to work at both of my jobs, and thus far, it is excruciating.
There's a terrible conflict within me, like brother wands forced to battle each other. I have been waiting for this for ages and yet... this is the end. Are we ready to say goodbye to Harry? Not by a long shot, but this does mark an end of an era, both for the world and for the private me.
For so many, this series has acted as an escape, a crutch, and a perfectly good excuse for a party. Fans will go on loving the books/movies and pass them on to new generations of witches and wizards.
It does not stop my heart from breaking, for this, my childhood, is on it's last few pages. And while I do look forward to what will happen next in my life's story, I will always find time to look back on my past chapters spent swooning over Harry, Ron, Hermione, Professor Snape and Hogwarts.
Today, I skip around in the countdown a bit for a more appropriate image for this entry:
I will miss the midnight releases, the riddikulus lines, over-priced tickets and popcorn, the 'freaks' dressed like wizards including myself, and the complete madness of it all. Tonight as the credits light my tear-stained face, I will raise my ambivalent wand in the air and say, "Mischief managed."

Day 7 - A character I'd be enemies with
As much as I love these characters, in real life self-righteous supremacy is not so attractive. And so, I give you: The Malfoys
They're still pretty awesome.
I can't wait for this movie much longer. And yet I wish the waiting would go on forever.
