Johnny Cash

So lately I have been on this Johnny Cash kick for some unknown reason. Maybe it was from my humanites class listening to Elvis and Little Richard; but whatever reason, I'm glad I'm on this kick (I don't think Jake likes it too much). I went and borrowed all my Granny and Poppy's cd's they had of J.Cash. I have been listening to the same three cd's since Saturday. The one song that I am hooked on is "Jackson." He sings it with June Carter. I seriously cannot stop singing it. Jake is getting sooooo annoyed because he hates me to sing country.

"Jackson"

Johnny Cash & June Carter

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.

When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote.

But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg.
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,
You're goin' to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan,

Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact.
Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back.

Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout'
And we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went...

I own Walk the Line and I will most definatley be watching it as soon as I finish seasons 6 and 7 of OTH again :). If you haven't listened to a little Johnny Cash lately... go listen to him :)


24 Months

So Sunday was mine and Jake's 2 year anniversary. I can't believe we have been dating that long. It seems like just yesterday we were going to the Dearest You are Dead show. I'm glad that Wesley introduced us and that we met in Zion's. My version of the story is totally different than his, but whatever. At least it happened. I'm really glad to have Jake in my life. He has been amazing through a lot of thing I've had to deal with. And I absolutely love his family :)



You can tell he reeeeealy likes taking pictures.



Happy 420th birthday Amy!!!

Yesterday was Amy's birthday. So to celebrate we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse cuz she wanted some gooooood mashed potatoes (and their cream gravy is delightful). I don't think she wanted us to tell that it was her birthday.... but of course I did!

Amy on the saddle



:)

Texas Roadhouse is pretty lame because they only give you one tiny scoop of ice cream...

And there it is in Amy's mouth!

Our own little sister wives!!!

Happy 420 mom :) we love you!

Great Flicks

Jake and I watch so many movies. We should because we got to FYE every other weekend and spend over $100. But lately we have been obsessed with Disney things and I bought "Tower of Terror" on Ebay. We watched it this last week.

It seemed like it was a made for TV movie but it was still way good. Watching this movie made us want to go to Disneyland even more. When we do go in October, we bringing my computer and watching it in the hotel :)

Another movie we watched last week was 127 hours.

Can I just say this movie was fantastic. I honestly don't think I would've cut my own arm off. Or drank my own pee. And honestly, I turned my head when the cutting began. I couldn't watch it. This was such a great movie. I most definatly will be reading the book that the guy wrote.

Then last night we saw Your Highness

Poop that movie was funny. Even the old couples that were in the theatre were laughing. I wish I could remember all the lines that made us laugh. I can't wait til it comes out on dvd. And of course, James Franco was wonderful. Seriously. So funny.

We're Psychos

Jake and I have some pretty fun times. And I always forget to take pictures of things we do so I'm going to try and take them more so I can document :) So last week Amy took us all to the Cheesecake Factory (Me, Jake, Linz, and Jenny) because all of our birthdays are in April. That place is so good but insanely expensive. Their menu is so huge. One of the waitresses said that they have over 200 items not included cheesecake. Wow. But of course my favorite part of dinner was the cheesecake :)



Jake's cheesecake



My cheesecake

Jake got some type of caramel cheesecake and I got chocolate coconut. Yummy. I want to go there just to get cheesecake.

So whenever we fill up our cars, we always guess how much it will be at when the pump stops. Last night I guessed $42.08 and Jake guess $48 something. I was standing at the pump and holy poop.... look what it stopped on

I freaked out when it stopped. Jake thought I was freak haha. But I was happy that I won :)

Happy Birthday Jake

Yesterday was Jake's birthday. I hope it was a good one for him. I got up early and made him a giant butterscotch and chocolate chip cookie. It was kinda crispy but that's how he likes them. Hopefully it was good and he wasn't just lying.

I took Jake to Goodwood for lunch. That is where he wanted to go. It was really good. We both got pulled pork. The potato skins we got for an appetizer were very delicious. I'm glad we got them. After goodwood we went to FYE because our backstage pass gives us 20% off on Jake's birthday. Just last Saturday we went and spend over $100 so we didn't buy that much. I got Harry Potter 7 and The Count of Monte Cristo then Jake got Peter Cotton Tail and Zombieland.

Later that night we went to see ''Your Highness''. We got there pretty early and we were just sitting there for a long time. But that movie was incredibly funny. There were so many funny one liners and I can't even remember them all. We will probably go see it again when it comes to the Watergardens. But I hope he had a good day. I love you Jake :)

Penny for your thoughts

I have a lot of things on my mind so these are my thoughts.

Those are just my thoughts for right now.

Nineteen

So yesterday was my birthday. I am officially nineteen. Not like it really means anything though. It was a pretty good day. The whole week I kept complaining because my mom had to work late and so did Jake so I wouldn't get to see either of them. So with my family we did my presents the night before so my mom could be there. I have a 7am class and I try to be in bed by 9 and we didn't do present til late so I was really tired as you can tell.

Abby gave me her present first. She is a little psycho! She gave me a thong and a cookies and cream chocolate bar. My mom said she was searching for over thirty minutes to find the ''perfect'' underwear for me.

Cole gave me his present next. He's the best. He got me peach-o's and green and silver nail polish. When I opened it, he kept saying look at the colors, what do they stand for. I guessed Slytherin and couldn't think of anything else. They were for the Eagles. He is so sweet. He knows exactly what I love.

This little crazy was last. She always does that cheesy smile so I did it too. She got me one of those necklace holder things that are a body. I should've taken a picture of it but I didn't think to. It is perfect. I have been wanting one of these for so long! Every time I see one I tell Jake how bad I want it so I'm glad Ali got it for me.

Mom and Brett got me my own PURPLE luggage set! I was so excited. I have been wanting my own for a very long time. It seems that I have been going on a lot of vacations and it will be nice to have. I'm super excited to use them.

So on my actual birthday, my mom came and picked me up from work and took me out to lunch. We went to the Pizza Factory and it was great. I have my leftovers and can't wait to eat them. When I got back to work I was really depressed because Jake had to go to work at three. So at three he stopped texting me and "went to work". When I walked out of Sierra~West at 5....he was waiting outside for me! I was so surprised! He took me to Carrabas for dinner. And it was soooooo yummy. I got the sirloin Marsala's. It was so so so good. And of course we had to get the chocolate cake as well :)

Then we went home and Cass came over for Cake and ice cream and she gave me a tye dye kit and some white tee shirts. I'm excited to do those. Mom made me home-made German chocolate cake with homemade frosting. It is my all time favorite cake :). I like what Brett did with the candles.

I have the best little brothers and sisters. Aren't they so cute? After Cass left Jake and I watched Black Swan. It was a way pooped up movie. But I liked it. It turned out to be a very successful birthday.

Happy (:

Yesterday was probably one of the happiest days I've ever had. My Mom, Brett and Ali were all sealed in the temple and all of the kids were able to go inside the temple and be there for that special day. I have never felt the spirit so strong and I never want to to forget that day. It will be number two after I get married (: I want to start going to baptisms for the dead more because it feel so awesome. I'm glad I am able to go into that sacred place.

Before we went into the temple my aunt Whittney took some family pictures of us. It was freezing and the sun was in our eyes. She has posted a few on her blog so I stole them. But she does some awesome photography. Check her out at http://whitneyleighphotography.blogspot.com/

Time and All Eternity

We got some fantastic news this weekend. My parents are finally able to get sealed and Ali gets to get sealed to them. I am so so so excited I can't even describe it. Andrew, Cole, Abby, and I all get to go  in when Ali gets sealed to them. It is going to be such a neat experience. We all get to wear white and go in the sealing room together. Today when we went into the family bishop's interview Ali said to the bishop, "I get to go the temple and get sealed." and Bish asked her what that means and she said, "I get to be with my family forever." Even Ali knows how important the temple is. I am glad I am worthy to have a temple recommend and enter the Lord's house. It will be an awesome experience.

Bleh

So I decided last night that I am going to print off my blog into a book each year. I found this website that does it for pretty cheap and it looks good. So I want to make my blog more meaningful and not just stupid things to post like facebook. I'm excited to do it because it will be like my journal since I suck at journaling. So as you know, Jake and I have been watching Disney movies ALOT lately. Last night we watched Tarzan and tonight we watched The Rescuers. I kinda feel like a complete nerd when we watch them because I totally start giggling when something funny happens. They just bring out the little kid in me. I love how we have been watching little kid movies. Its fun for a change. We have fun watching them too.

On another note, it's my spring break! Hooray. I have been working full time and going to school full time and its been pretty hard this last semester. I got promoted and Jen quit so I have had to step up a lot at work. And the classes I signed up for aren't exactly a piece of cake either. So I'm glad for this time off at school. I still have to work but I at least I don't have to be to Calculus at 7:00am. I have been waiting for Spring break for a long time so I could spend more time with Jake. I know I see him everyday but its only for a couple hours because I'm in bed by 8:30. So I asked my parents if I could stay out late last night.....and I came home at 10:00.....Pathetic. I know. I just am always tired. I'm pretty much just going off on nothing important right now. So I will head to bed.

Music Describes My Mood

The Story

Brandie Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

 

Grace

Kate Havnevik

I'm on my knees
only memories
are left for me to hold
Dont know how
but Ill get by
Slowly pull myself together
Theres no escape
So keep me safe
This feels so unreal
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace
I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold
Like from another world
Come what may
I wont fade away
But I know I might change
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace
Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin?
Nothing can bring me peace
Ive lost everything
I just want to feel your embrace

Baptism

Today was a really great day. One my cousins, who is also a really good friend got baptized today. I am so proud of him. I know it was a hard decision for him to make with everything he has to go through at home but I know he made the right choice. This is the second baptism I've been to that is convert. The spirit there is so so strong. I am so glad that I was able to be there to support Wesley today.

I have a testimony that this church is true and that our Heavenly Father loves and knows each and everyone one of us. I know that everything we do in this life matters. I know that families can be together for time and all eternity when they are sealed in our Heavenly Father's temples and I can't wait when that time comes for me. I know that Joseph Smith restored this gospel on the earth so that we would know the truth. And I know that my Savior died for me so that I could be forgiven of my sins. 

In 7 Months...

I have a lot of goals that I want to accomplish by October. They aren't really long term goals...

Just things that I want to MAKE SURE happen before I go to Disneyland.

It's stuff I always say I'm going to do, and NEVER do it. So...

Here it goes.

Maybe if I

write them down they will be easier to follow. That way other

people know that I am working on these things it will make it easier to do them.

So if someone says, hey how are your goals going. I can say that they are going great. So ask me.

{1} Stop drinking Caffeine.

Anyone that knows me well knows that I am addicted to Dr. Pepper. Like I usually always have one. And I know its not good for me and I know I need to stop. Not just Dr. Pepper and caffeine, but soda in general. I love milk and juice, I just hate water. I need to start drinking more water probably too. Which I have already started. My last carbonated beverage was Sunday, March 6, 2011. I want to be like Coley and quit caffeine forever! Then maybe once I can control myself, just drink a sprite or something when I go out to eat.

{2} Start Exercising
This one is really bad too. I have a desk job so its not like I move around a lot. I don't really walk around campus because all my classes are in the LA building. So I really want to start on it. Jake wants to too but every time we say we are going to...we don't. I want to try and wake up a little bit earlier every day and do little things and then run when I get home at night. Maybe it will help my knees get stronger too. I am doing the Susan G. Komen 5K this year and I want to be in shape for it. I want to be in shape when we go to Disneyland too so I don't feel all gross and tired.

{3} Start Saving Money
Jake and I discuss this all the time. We are both spenders. We LOOOOVE spending our money as soon as we get it. We usually take monthly trips to FYE and spend over $200 on movies, video games, and cds. Pathetic, I know. I have actually been doing pretty good lately. When I pay my tithing, I just put the same amount plus a little more in my savings. It's only been two paychecks but hey, its a start. I also want to buy a new car this summer and I want to have a little money for that.

These are the three goals that I talk about doing the most so I really want to do them. It'll be hard but worth it. :)

Anxious

I have not been doing my 30 day challenge lately because of school. Last week was midterms and I was super busy with studying and working almost full time. And to be quite honest... I was getting really sick of the 30 day challenge. It got me in the habbit of blogging but the challenges just seemed repetivie and boring. So I'm just going to blog about what I want and my life. I was reading Coley's blog and I feel the same way as her. I want my blog to be my journal/scrapbook. Then I can print it out each year. So I will try reeeealy hard to start blogging about things that actually matter.

So lately I have been really anxious about going to Disneyland this Fall. I know the last post I did was about Disneyland but it is really all I can think about. Everytime I go to Jake's house me and his mom could sit and talk about it forever. It really is so fun going with Jake's family. They are awesome and Amy makes it so fun. Jake makes its okay... :)

 Disneyland was super fun at night. Especially California Adventure. When we went, the new 3D Toy Story ride had just opened. It was amazing. The best ride ever. They had to start a line before the park even opened for it! Of course we waited we line. It was seriously the funnest ride ever. I hope that it won't be as crowded when we go in October. I'm excited to see the Little Mermaid ride and the light show. I hear the light show is fabulous so I can't wait to see it. I also LOOOVE the tower of terror. We got in trouble on that ride.... Linz and Kayla put their legs up and Jenny was choking Jake.

 Me and Linz have the same birthday, April 7th. So we got birthday pins in Disneyland and had a contest on who could get the most birthday wishes. I can't remember who won. I think it was Linz. It was awesome to spend my birthday in Disneyland. Amy let us pick anywhere that we wanted to eat. So we went to the cheesecake factory. It was delicous! The food was sooooo good. And the cheesecake..... mhhhh it was fabulous. I think that The Cheesecake Factory is one of my favorite places to eat. Probably because I don't go there very often. But it was hands down the best birthday.

On my birthday I got to see my very favoitre Disney character. Alice in Wonderland. They were just standing at the exit to the park. I was way happy to see them! The Mad Hatter was really annoying and kept saying hap happy birthday. It was really annoying. Then Kayla kept saying it ALLLL day long. We also saw Buzz, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Minnie Mouse. It seemed like the characters weren't out that much. And the people that were in charge of them were pretty jerky. But all in all I was happy.

I am so exicted to go back to Disneyland this year. It will be so much fun. Hopefully it won't be as crowded. Last weekend it feels like all me and Jake could talk about was Disney. We were looking up all the Disney movies and seeing if there were any fun video games we could play. We are pretty much geeks. We also decided we are going to watch every Disney movie that has a ride or show or anything at Disneyland before we go. So far we have watched The Haunted Mansion and A Bugs Life. I'm sure we'll get through all of them. We also were WAAAAAY nerdy when we were watching rides on youtube and pretending we were on them. It wasn't the same but it was still fun to do it.

The Happiest Place on Earth

{a photo of something that makes you happy}

Something that makes me happy is obviously the happiest place on earth. . . . . . . DISNEYLAND!

The last time I went was with my 2nd family in April of last year. I want to go back soooooo bad. I love disneyland. I have only been there 3 times but it is great. I hopefully am going in October :)

I. Love. You.

{Someone you love}

I'm kind of a freak and I took a picture of a picture at Jake's house. Isn't he so cute :))

Now he's all growed up and a hottie.

This picture was taken the first day me and Jake ever met. We had been texting for three days over spring break and we were both in Zion's with our families. On the last night we were there, I asked him what hotel they were staying at....and it ended up being the same one we were at! I asked him if he would come over later so we could finally meet haha. When the time came, he was taking forever cuz he said he "lost his room key" which he really was just nervous. I was happy when he decided to come over. And I'm glad he did. I fell in love with him so fast. And I still love him so much more than I did when we first started dating. In April, it will be 2 years :) I sure love my jake.



Nicknames

{Nicknames that you have}

I think the nickname that has stuck the most is Gaygay. My cousin Coley came up with it when I was just a wee girl in elementary school. I really don't even know how she came up with it, but it has definatley stuck. Her two little boys don't even know my real name! People at work even call me that.

Crushes

{<your celebrity crush>}

Needless to say I have many celebrity crushes. Most of them from band that I go to. Whenever Jake and I go to concerts, he always tries to guess which one I think is the cutest. So I will post my top 3 musically talented celebrity crush. Which probably a lot of you do not know.

1. Evan Pharmakis

Evan will always be my number one (next to Jake Evans). He plays guitar and sings for Vanna. At the last show, I got to give him a hug, he called me a sweetheart. And gave me his guitar pick before he gave anyone else one. His voice is simply amazing. I could listen to Vanna constantly just to listen to him.

2. Kyle Pavone

Kyle is the lead singer for We Came As Romans. When I first heard them, I couldn't stand the music at all. But then I fell in love. The very first time I saw them live, I didn't like the music, but Kyle was very attractive. His voice is almost at gorgeous as Evan's. Jake says he has a pancake face :/ i disagree.

3. Tyler "Telle" Smith

Tyler is the lead singer for the band The Word Alive. Their music is so amazing and lyrics are so meaningful.  If you haven't listened to them, go listen to them now. I have seen The Word Alive only twice. They couldn't make it in February and I should be seeing them this April. I love Telle's voice. It's so amazing. Anyone could fall in love with it. When I saw them at Warped Tour, me and Jake were front row :) and he was standing over me and I got to squeeze his bum :)

Chris Motionless: Lead singer of Motionless in White. Fabulous band.

 I have lots of different kinds of music on my iPod. I absolutely love music. I love going to concerts. Not necessarily main stream music concerts. They are too big for me. I like smaller venues with better musicians. At the Greeley Estates concert, I got kneed in the face by the singer. It was the best thing that ever happened to me at a concert.

Family

Me, Andrew, Cole, Abby and Cass in Disneyland 2007. Me, Cass, and Andrew look like a bunch of freaks. I'm glad we don't look like that anymore! These are all of my siblings minus Ali. Cole and Cass are just my step siblings but I don't think of them that way at all. I love them just as much as Andrew and Abs. I would do anything for my siblings. I know we fight. A lot. But I still care about them so much. I'm glad that I have them in my life to hang out with and just be with all the time.

Scars

I don't really have a lot of scars because I don't really like to do things where it's possible to get a scar. I guess my two worse ones are my belly button ring scar and one I got from shaving. The belly button one is just really hard and gross. Its probably one of the ugliest scars ever. The one I got from shaving is really bad. I was just in the shower, ya know, shaving my legs, and I got cut. It was really bad. It wouldn't stop bleeding for hours

Its on my right calf and its really long and gross. That about all the scars I have except for little baby ones.

Jim Morrison

{Write a letter to a deceased person}

Now this won't technically be a letter, but I have been on this Jim Morrison kick lately. I bought his poetry and his biography this past week and can't wait for a chance to just sit and read them. I seriously wish I could've seen this talented man live.

I remember my dad listening to The Doors when I was little. I loved them. I remember him watching videos of Jim and Pamela and he would say, "I know he just got sick of the fame and his hiding in the mountains." I would like to believe that is true. 

I would give anything to go back and be able to see The Doors live. I know that it would've been amazing. Just from watching The Doors movie he seemed so intense.

I don't believe that he died of a heart attack. They didn't even do an autopsy. I truly believe it was from doing too many drugs. If I could talk to anyone who is dead, it would most definatley have to be Jim Morrison.

Music

[(day 10)] {Songs that you listen to when you are *hyper *sad  *bored  *happy  *mad

HAPPY: I really listen to lots of songs when I'm happy so this is difficult. I guess it would probably have to be whatever I'm in the mood for! I really like listening to music when I'm happy. I like listening to songs that remind me of Jake when I'm happy.

HYPER: I song that I like to listen to when I'm hyper would most likely be an Eminem song. One of the psycho songs. Or a song on rockband when I'm with Jake and Andrew :)

SAD: My sad song is easy. It has been my depression song for almost two years now. I love listening to it when I'm sad. I have a playlist that I specifically listen to when I'm depressed. But my alltime depression song is Chemistry of a Car Crash by Shiny Toy Guns

BORED:  Again, just whatever I am in the mood to listen to. I just have random playlists I listen to when I want to listen to music. I'm pretty bored right now and I'm listening to Josephine Collective

MAD: My current mad song is a tie between Eminem's "Sing for the Moment" and From First to Last's "Elvis said Ambition is a Dream with a V8 Engine." They are both great songs.

Green Eyes

<<day 008 song that describes your mood>>

I've just been obsessed with this song lately so I'm going to blog about it. It's called "Green Eyes" by Coldplay. I just like songs about love lately and I have green so eyes maybe thats why I love it so much.

Green Eyes
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand
That [green] eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, now I’ve met you
And honey you should know, that I could never go on without you [Green] eyes
Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know
That [green] eyes, you’re the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who, tried to deny you must be out of their mind
Cause I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, since I met you
Honey you should know, that I could never go on without you
[Green] eyes
[Green] eyes
Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

I wish Jake liked Coldplay so he would sing this to me :) but I already showed it to him and he said he didn't really like it. But this is the song I am obsessed with for now.

You've been the best example to me

The people that have made the biggest impact in my life are of course my parents. It sounds cliche and almost everyone says it. But it is so true. I might have not had the best childhood in the world, but my parents still did the best they could and how they lived and what they taught me helped me become the person I am today.

My dad with his three kids. My dad hasn't always been there for me like I thought he should. We've always had our fights and differences, but he is still my dad and is awesome. I don't see him or talk to him as much as I wish we would.  When I was going through my rebel stage, he knocked some sense into my head and helped me learn what I was doing wrong. My dad is so much fun to hang out with. He always has funny things to say. He is the best dad ever and I love him so much.

My mom has been so great to me. She is my mom, but she is also my friend. I can talk to her about anything and everything. She is always there for me even when we are both grumpy butts. When I complain about things she does, Jake just says, "you do that too." She is the best mom I could ever ask for.

I've only have had Brett for a stepdad a little over five years. But he is amazing. I didn't like him at first, cuz I didn't want him to try and replace my dad, and I regret that. He is so amazing. He would do anything for me, Andrew, and Abby. He has taught me so many great life lessons and helped me with so many things I don't know what I would do without him.

Harry Potter

Day 005: Your favorite villain/superhero

If you know me at all you know that I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. My aunt Amylynn made me read in when I was in 3rd grade and I have loved it ever since. So of course my favorite villains and superheros come from that.

My favorite bad guy of course is Voldemort. If you know me, you probably know that I find him very attractive. Just look at that nose, and the teeth! He has always been one of my favorite characters in the books and I love what they have done with him in the movies. He looks great. I can't wait to see the 2nd half of the 7th book this summer!

My favorite "superhero" is most definitely Severus Snape. When I was little and Coley was still in high school, we were on this kick that snape was a vampire. We went and bought tons of sticky notes and highlighters and read through the books over and over marking little clues. It turns out we were wrong and he was a good guy! I also find Snape very attractive. Not the actor, but his personality and voice.
