I've never gotten Final Form, but my favorite is probably Master Form. I just think it's a lot of fun, plus yellow's my favorite color. :D
Beauty and the Beast. In eighth grade I did it for a school play, so now it's like one of my favorite Disney movies. I was Cogsworth--he rocks. When I was little all I would wear was a Belle nightgown and ruby slippers (the movie I was obsessed with before B&B was Wizard of Oz).
...Are you serious? We watched Pleasantville afterwards as well, but we didn't do the diorama. Then again, the movies are similar in ways, so a lot of teachers probably do it.
I loved absolutely everything about this book except: 1) Fred's death (I just keep telling myself "He's in a coma, he's in a coma...") 2) The children's names in the Epilogue. Very cliche. The Albus Severus kid is going to get beaten up with a name like that, I swear... 3) Luna and Neville didn't end up together. Ah well, at least I got Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny. Everything else about the book was phenomenal. In an interview she revealed that the person was cut out of the series and therefore never got to do magic. There was a lot of speculation that it was Arianna Dumbledore, but JKR ended up cutting it out. Very disappointing, I know. Hehe. I screamed at the top of my lungs and stared at the sentence for ten seconds. Then I left the room and called people to tell them the good news. I'm such a Ron/Hermione nerd.
We read it in seventh grade, though I didn't feel forced to read it. This book is very interesting, I loved it and I like to think that at the end Jonas and Gabriel reached a nice town with music and color and everything. I felt so sad when the Giver talked about Rosemary and when Jonas was watching one of the twin babies get released. The story is absolutely wonderful, though I'm sure glad I don't live in a place like that. No emotions? No individuality? That's not really living in my opinion. Gosh, his parents don't even love him.
Oh of course. I was in tears at the end of Harry Potter seven. Well, after I read about Fred's death, I cried for literally a half hour. The second time I cried was when I was feeling nostalgic, because you know, the book series was ending. You want to know which part I started crying due to nostalgia? When Harry was walking to his supposed "death" and he looked at Hagrid's hut and remembered eating Hagrid's horrible rock cakes. That did it for me. :P
I love this series, and I adore dear Edward...and honestly, if it weren't for the Cullens, I would have chucked these books out of the window by now. I absolutely loved the first one, it was really well done. The second one was completely unbelievable, and the third didn't satisfy me. What are my main problems with the series? Their names are Bella and Jacob. Bella is, as far as I can tell, a Mary Sue. I'm not talking about the kind of Mary Sue with no flaws, because a Mary Sue is not neccisarily a character with no flaws. The definition of a Mary Sue is a badly written character. Some might hate me for this, so I apologize in advance. When writing, it is usually a bad idea to base the main character on yourself, and Stephanie Meyer did just that. I saw on her website that Bella is supposed to look like her. That is another kind of Mary Sue, by the way: when the author puts an improved version of him/herself into the story. Plus, did you notice that in the first book, Bella has about seven guys drooling over her? Yet she's supposed to look like a plain girl. How are girls reading the series supposed to relate to that? However, when you think about it...she's meant to be plain, yet in Italian her name translates to beautiful. I also think Bella needs to get her priorities straight. Edward should not be what her life revolves around, there are plenty of other things in life to enjoy and she should consider that before giving up everything to become a vampire. In the second book she was just pathetic. She spent months and months moping around when she could have handled it maturely and not like some whiny, melodramatic dumpee. Did she really have to clutch at her chest to hold together the "hole in her heart"? Please. She also shouldn't be jumping off cliffs just so she can hallucinate about Edward. That's probably a sign of mental instability. *breathes* Now, Jacob. I loved the kid before his werewolf transformation. Now he's pushy, arrogant, and a complete jerk. He kisses Bella knowing full well that she has a boyfriend and is not interested in him, and he can't seem to get over the fact that Bella won't return her feelings. In fact, he keeps insisting that she is in love with him. I kept thinking "get over yourself, jerk". Then what made me really, really mad was when, at the end of Eclipse, Bella realized she WAS in love with Jacob as well as Edward, and kissed him again. WHAT?! That ticked me off: muscular, arrogant Jacob is right about Bella loving him, what a nice boost to his ego. So yeah. Other than those major character flaws, the series is fantastic.
I really need to read that book. I began reading it at the age of six or seven (and, amazingly, understood what was going on) and was beginning to enjoy it. Then my teacher told me to stop reading it because I was too little. That really, really discouraged me, and I still hold a grudge. Dang teacher. I think I'll read it at some point this year.
Haha Ris, your whole post sounds so much like me. My English teacher last year told me she can't think of Hermione Granger anymore without thinking of me, too. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson have already signed for the seventh movie, so you don't have to worry. I adore ranting about Harry Potter, especially when it comes to ships...I'm a mega Ron/Hermione shipper. I wish Harry Potter Jeopardy existed so I could compete ^_^. As far as obsessions go, Kingdom Hearts is second only to Harry Potter. Except for Lord of the Rings, I've read all of those as well, and I'm very skeptical about them. The Inheritance Triology is very, very imaginative and you can tell Paolini put a lot of effort into creating his world, though the story does have a few flaws. They tend to drag on for too long and, if Paolini knows what's good for him, he will stay far, FAR away from writing romance for a while, because the romance he wrote between Eragon and Arya was...ugh. Arya gets on my nerves because she has absolutely no flaws. I adore the Twilight series, but it is also one of my favorite ranting subjects. The main character gets on my nerves so much. I found out she was actually modeled after the author, and as a writer I know it's not the best idea to base the main character on yourself, so I'm not a big fan of that. The main character is such a drama queen, shares many physical traits with the author, and is one of those characters that can't get guys to stop asking her out on dates. I think there are literally seven guys who flirt with her in the first book, and some even fight over her. However, I read it for the main male character mostly. He's adorable. I'm sure getting off topic here. -_-
As mentioned before, Kairi actually means sea/ocean and Aqua means water. Anyway, onto your theory. There is no evidence to suggest that Aqua is dead, though Xemnas saying "We meet again old friend" (or something of that sense) to Aqua's armor is a little suspicious. Also, Aqua and Ven may not have a romantic relationship. It's obvious enough that she cares about him, but we don't know if it's a romantic relationship or more of a brother/sister one. It's a very interesting theory, though I'm not sure if it would work. I do hope Kairi's keyblade randomly appearing is explained. I'd also like to know why it's covered in flowers and butterflies, but I doubt they'll mention it... I always thought that she could use the keyblade because she was one of the Princesses of Heart, but then again I could be completely wrong.
Cloud's was probably best in my opinion. He looked cool.
Nope, never gotten detention, and I don't plan to. Doesn't sound fun.
Okay, perhaps the girls you hang around with are like that, but they don't represent all girls. You say that you generalize because girls generalize, but by saying that girls generalize you are generalizing. I would never play with a guy and then blame them--I believe that when a relationship fails, both of the people are at fault in some way. The girls you're describing are girls I would definitely not want to hang around with, and nobody you want to date anyway, but give girls a chance and have an open mind about them. Not all of us think that way, just as we know not all boys are cheaters or liars. So, staying on topic, another word of advice: make sure the girl you want to date isn't like the type of girl Spitfire is describing. I'm guessing she isn't, so I think you're in luck. Let us know how it goes. ;)
It is, but all the other holidays suck. I wish Axel had gotten to see Roxas again. Poor guy.
"Hello, Lord Voldemort speaking." "Leprechaun Taint!" "What? You kids! I will find out who this is and report you and you will be sent to wizard jail, and then I will kill you!" "500,000 points from Gryffindor."
I know I saw that earlier today. It was freaking hilarious! Dumbledore's amazingly long swear word was just classic.
Well, someone's trying to sneak some, er, disturbing images into an educational textbook...how wonderful...
Praise the Mudkip!!
