An old post

I was looking at my old Harry Potter blog that I shared with my two best friends, and I found this post from about a year ago and just wanted to share it with you. I think it's pretty amazing if I do say so myself ;)

Hey.
it's Auriana here and I'm ready to give you your weekly dose of crazy Hufflepuff fangirliness and Wizrock chatter! yaaaaaaay!

So, every week I go roller skating at this weird,little underground place that has like discounted Home school skating hours. The guy who runs the place said that if anyone wants to, they can bring music and he'll play it while we skate. So for the past couple of weeks I've been bringing different WR Cd's, and the effect has just been so awesome! when I brought my Cd's I was just thinking that it'd be more fun for me skating to this music than Fall Out Boy or whatever crap they were playing before. But the atmosphere is just so much more happy now. every one's grinning,even if they don't understand the music at all. and then there are a ton of people who love HP and are huge fans, but have never been exposed to the huge online fandom, and wrock pretty much lives through the Internet so there isn't really any way for them to know about it until they hear some. So we'll all be skating, and someone will stop and look all confused and ask me "Did they just say 'Harry Potter?'" And I just grin and start explaining. It's great. and then at the end i show them all what album i brought and I tell them where to get it and then they go buy it. So as a bonus I'm actually helping the bands make money ^.^
But for me it isn't really about that...It's about sharing this amazing community I've become a part of with as many people as I possibly can. Because there has just been so much more fun and love in my life since I started going to wrock shows and I want anyone who likes Harry Potter even just a tiny bit to know about it and become part of it. And thats another great thing about Wizard Rock. It is so easy for fans to get involved and talk to the bands and get autographs and pictures and...It's just...too good for words. Really amazing. as hard as I try I really can't even begin to describe the feeling of being at a wrock concert. But hey, I'll try.

*takes deep breath*

It's like going down in an elevator at 100 miles an hour and being hugged by Paul McCartney and getting drunk on apple juice and fireworks inside your brain and jumping off a cliff and then sprouting wings out of your shoulders and Disneyland exploding and reforming on the moon.

Hahahahahahahahahah wow. Tell me my explanation wasn't FREAKING AWESOME?! OK...so I might have scared off a few people who were thinking of joining the wrock scene, but trust me...It's the most wonderful thing in the world.

WOW that was long. but I just needed to get my feelings out. I hope nobody actually wasted their time reading this...

HUGS!!!
Auriana.

Wizard Rockumentary!

I saw it for the first time today at a small screening at a local library!
There were probably only about 10 people there, and most of them were fairly kids with their parents. In fact, I think me and my sister were probably the only ones there who even really knew what wrock was. It would have been fun to see it with some other hard core fans who really understood, but there were benefits...such as I won both prize drawings due to the fact that everyone else left before it was over! I won an awesome red Whomping Willows shirt that says "The whomping willow almost killed me" , autographed by both Matt of the Whomping Willows AND Alex of the Remus Lupins. *fangirlsigh*
Also, I won an amazing Ministry of Magic CD and a Tonks! CD! I was so happy!
As for the movie, it was amazing!! i loved every second of it. The DVD will be on my Christmas list for sure ;)

Speaking of Wizard Rock, I got my new Remus Lupins CD in the mail yesterday!! I am totally overcome by wrock!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

I will write more later. Hugs to all of you,

Omg. I haven't blogged in a month.


(fiveawesomegirls intro music plays)

SO much has happened. Like I finally turned 14!!!! AH!! I got new pink converse and some new vans, books and bookstore gift cards, CDs, awesome amazing prismacolor markers that I've wanted FOREVER, and lots more.

And the next day I got the best birthday present EVER when I went to see The Remus Lupins and the Whomping Willows. I HUGGED ALEX FREAKING CARPENTER. ZOMG!!!! And he said I was "super awesome." I was a lot less nervous meeting him for the second time than I was last year, but I still went into super fangirl mode and was like, ready to faint when he said that. I've heard everyone say that Alex is the best hugger for a long time, but never realized how true it was. I thought it lasted for a long time, but then I decided I might be imagining it, so I asked my friend Sofia and she said "Yeah, It was really long!"
So yay!!

Moving on.


lets see, I read breaking dawn. I liked it, but it wasn't my perfect ending. I didn't hate it like a lot of people did, but I didn't love it either. The first one is still my favorite :) But the release party was sooo coool. I even met an online friend there!! good times.



I don't really have anything else to say, so...

Hugs!

HP fandom collage....

...That I forgot to post on DH day...but It's Harry and Jo's Birthday, so it still counts!

And, OMG! The tales of Beedle the Bard is going to be PUBLISHED!!!! AHHH!

Aaaaand...The Half Blood Prince Teaser Trailer was released! finally!! It was so cool Looks like they are doing a great job on the whole young Voldemort thing. I can't WAIT for the full length trailer and, obviously, the movie! Nov. 21st, baby :)

Unless you speak nerd, none of that probably made sense to you....

Love,

Auriana

Books, sweet books!

Today's project in the HPA's 11 days of breaking out of the Muggle Mindset (www.thehpalliance.org for info) is to recommend a book to a friend.


So here we go...

OVERBOARD by ELIZABETH FAMA
This book is about a 14 year old American girl living in Indonesia, who finds herself in the middle of the ocean when the ferry she is on sinks. I don't read many books that aren't part of a series, because that's just not who I am. but this is amazing, I loved it so much. read it!

VAMPIRATES by JUSTIN SOMPER

When I first heard about this, the title sounded kind of cheesy and I thought it might be lame. But I read it anyway and it's...fantastical :) As you may have guessed, it's about...Vampire Pirates!! Unless you're Ashley and you thought it was Vampirettes, as in female pirates (which would also be pretty freaking awesome):D lol.

HOLES by LUIS SACHER

If you haven't read this yet,you need to come out from under you're rock and read it. that's all I'm saying :)


MAXIMUM RIDE by JAMES PATTERSON

READ IT. Six bird kids, evil scientists, a mutant talking dog, chocolate chip cookies, Really refreshing unique humor...It's amazing.

CIRQUE DU FREAK by DARREN SHAN

Another Vampire story!! man, I love me some vampires! I love to see sooo many different ways that vampires can be portrayed, and this one is another totally unique awesome one. Definitely read!




Well, that's all I can think of right now. Aside from the obvious like Harry Potter and Twilight, which I certainly hope anyone who's reading my blog has read, or you're getting a serious talking too :D




Peace!

H&TP! UNLIMITED ENTHUSIASM! OMG!

When I say Wizard, you say ROCK!


OMG! Just got home from the most amazing incredible unbelievable awesome epic wrock show. Well, partly Wrock. Jason Anderson And The Best, Uncle Monster Face and Math The Band were also there.

I'd heard these bands one or twice before and I thought 'Eh, whatever, they're OK.'
But after seeing them live, I think all three of them are really super talented and most important just plain FUN.

Ahh, Harry and the Potters. This was the first time I've seen them. It was...so amazing. I probably lost like a few pounds dancing. I got a picture with Joe, but Paul was still on stage :( Oh well. Next time :)

I will post pictures and maybe even some videos very soon, but right now I'm going to see if I can sleep. I'm probably too full of left over excitement, but I'll try :)

EDIT(now that I'm not so tired): My throat hurts from singing and yelling, my ears will probably take a few weeks to work properly again, and it will probably be at least a few days before I come down form my Wizard Rock high. I touched little Harry's shirt twice when he came into the audience. :)

The show was so random and insane. We're talking pixy stix being thrown into the audience, balloon animals, free cupcakes, bubbles, professional lobster players, red light green light, and of course, singing about LOVE. All in all, I have never experienced something more awesome, and I can't wait to do it again.
Thanks so much to ALL the bands for the absolutely amazing time I had.



Love you all,
Hugs, Wrock, and Unlimited Enthusiasm :)
