Why you should always remember your keys...

So you go see the Harry Potter showing at midnight. And like any other crazed Harry Potter fan who goes to see a movie at midnight, you don some Harry Potter gear, be it a HP shirt or a full-on uniform.

As for me, I took the uniform, of course in a much more cute-d up style. Slytherin being my house of choice I adorned myself in all green accessories and matched with a pair of silver shoes. To top it off, I tattooed a dark mark on my arm with thick black sharpie. There was ONLY ONE OTHER girl in the theater who was dressed up in a uniform. And of course, she was full on Gryffindor, from tie to sweater to school robes.

What did I want to do? Duel her of course. Well, as a joke. Yet somehow as she was walking down the aisle, staring at me, I gave her my stank face. As in my "Yo, Gryffindor b**** you wanna fight?" face. It must have been the Slytherin in me rising up.

So I get back from this movie. Ready to crash and sleep. I am locked out of my apt. My roommates are so asleep. They don't hear my knocks. I had to room at my friends. Which wasn't so bad until I had to walk back in the morning in a uber short skirt, disheveled shirt and makeup and bed hair. It takes the "walk of shame" to a whole new level as I had spent the night with Harry Potter. Or rather...given my colors, Draco Malfoy.

Things One Should Never Do

1) Cheat/Have Affair/Two Flings At Once

While the first two require a breaking of formality, nobody said the last one was illegal. But then again, nobody said that the last one was also hard to go about. Needless to say, countless hours have been spent in ironic situations only to be laughed at later. Worth it? For the fun and excitement that it creates, yes. For the possibility of being caught and thus creating a reputation of being frivolous even in the situations of romance? No not really.

2) Fall Asleep at Work

Sure you're reading a report and it bores you. Maybe the meeting is not something you're interested in. But when you are actually sitting down and doing something? And then you fall asleep? Yeah, you're in trouble. That sucks. Sleeping disorder anybody?

3) Fall in love with one guy for 7 years

Unless you're getting married to him of course. But if there is no chance at all of marriage or even dating, you lose. And you're stuck with this one guy on your mind, for a loooong time. Of course if he tells you that he loves you, even though you know not in the way you love him, it makes you ridiculously happy. And that, well that, makes you kind of pathetic.

4) Like a guy who your mom likes you to like

This results in statements like: "You cannot date anyone besides Person X until Person X graduates." Or "Person X was better at [insert activity here] than [current guy]." Or better yet "Why are you wasting time with [current guy]? It's not like you're going to marry him, but Person X..."

No mother, I am not marrying Person X.

5) Eat too much chocolate/Eat too much ice cream/Eat too much chocolate ice cream

According to my friend studying traditional Eastern Medicine, the contents of these products result in breakouts. I haven't touched it in a month and my skin is clear, absolutely free of oil. But then the other day I indulged in all three, now I am spotty. Three giant spots on my nose and one on my forehead.

Canada Day

Today my Canadian roommate is celebrating Canada Day. What do I get out of it? A cake made with strawberries so that it looks like the Canadian flag.

Delicious.

I asked her if she would make maple candy. She said she didn't know how. Shouldn't it be one of her instincts?
