I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. We'd already talked about it before. Both of us have considered it. But I feel like I'm going to throw up.
The guy who's practically my best friend, who I talk to almost daily, who I try to convince myself I don't have feelings for even when I know I do, who I've never even met despite being friends for five years, just told me he's joining the Army. For sure.
No doubts this time, no speculation, no "I could see myself doing it" thoughts. As in, meeting with the recruiter this coming week.
Sure, I've considered it myself. And quite seriously a few times. So I feel even stupider for feeling this way. I can't even really say I know him, seeing as we've never met, which adds on to the "feeling stupid."
But suddenly, the idea of him joining is much less appealing. I don't want to consider all the "what if"s. (Not that I can totally control my thoughts from doing so... obviously.)
I mean I'm proud of him and happy for him and all, very much so, but I'm still in the "freaking out" stage.
Ugh...

Harry Potter: The Final Release!
Tomorrow Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes out! I'm way excited, can't wait to see it. I'm sad though, too, because its the last one.
I was supposed to be seeing the midnight showing, but appearently not anymore. Sigh.... And for some reason, the AMC near me is playing it all day today as well? Ooookaaayyy then... I have no idea why. I'm kinda irritated at not being able to see it today, either way.
Bleh.
Well I hope it's good!! I'm sure it well be. What do you think? What scenes will have been changed/removed? What might have the added or expanded on?
!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!
That scene with the dragon in the bank looks like it'll be awesome and I can't wait to see how it plays out. The final battle scene I admit I AM worried about though. It looks like they changed how it happens!! And whats with the part where they jump off a building together? Voldy (hehe... Voldy's gone moldy. ahh how we love you Peeves) and Harry? I'm sure I didn't forget THAT happening in the book- I just reread the second half recently!
Also with the epilogue, I wonder how that'll happen. I sincerly hope they didn't cut out that. Many fans who just want that "happy ending" will be dissapointed. Espcially after such a long series, and if they read the books and already know how it ended.
I think I'm most anticipating the scenes where Harry watches Voldemort kill Snape and then sees his memories, and where he goes into the forest alone to have himself killed.
I'll probably cry when Freddie dies. :(
!!!END OF SPOILERS!!!
Well, however it works out, I can't wait! What do you guy's think? Expecting anything in particular to happen? Especially you fans out there who haven't read the book!! What do YOU think?
Love always,

Short Stories
Just read over a bunch of my short stories. Some only a few months old, some over a year old. I like how after so much time not looking at them and practically fogetting the whole story line while busying myself with my novels, I actually like them now.
I don't look at them and think this character seems boring, theres too much description, too much dialogue, I don't fully express things like I could- using the same old boring descriptions, this and that seems forced because it had to be added, that wasn't what I wanted but thought it worked better, and so on and so on.
I can just read the story like an outsider and appreciate it for what it is. I don't badger myself and think EDIT, EDIT, EDIT. I'm just reading it. Sure, I may fix a seplling mistake here or there. But I'm reading it just to look back on my writings.
I wish I could always look at my work like that, and not only months after I last thought about it! I have to admit, reading those, I don't feel like such a bad writer. I don't really give myself much credit because I never feel like I'm moving forward- I never feel like I'm improving. I feel like I make the same mistakes, use the same pretenses, boring characters, have the same bad grammar, and yadda yadda.
Sure someone else might look at them and still see that. But I have to say I'm darn proud of those short stories. I hope one day I can always look at myself like this.
Lots of love,
Samantha-Aniwaya
PS: I wonder if that just means I'm better at short stories. Hmm.
Nah!! I love novels too much!
