Youtube=]

I am going to try to blog without any predetermined direction. Here goes it. So my house has been a little stressful lately, but I'm leaving for college in 6 days. I'm not excited about escaping though. That's not at all my thought process. I feel bad for skipping out and leaving everyone else to deal with it all. I tend to feel bad about everything though. However, I am really excited to do something aside from watching Youtube videos. I love Youtube (27 open video tabs currently). My favorites of the moment are Eddplant and Mike Lombardo. This can be a spew about my love of Youtube! I started watching Charlie when my boyfriend of three years broke up with me and I couldn't sleep. It is the best void-filler ever. I'm a total misanthropic loner too, so it was like having friends without having to deal with people. You would never believe that that website has so much better content than music videos and kittens. It's totally a thriving little community full of talent and brilliance and sincerity. It's a great place for nerds too. It definitely made nerd the new cool. Everything is about books, video games, politics, and so much more. It makes the world such a small place. I've never learned so much about foreign places and cultures and people. Through Youtube I've found my favorite band, tv show,...everything I love really. I'm not sure whether this is a better testament to how awesome Youtube is or how lame I am.

Harry Potter Themes

Lately I've been obsessing over what I would tell someone if they asked me what the themes in Harry Potter are. I have a slightly gargantuan list established, however I've always been a little fuzzy on what exactly a theme is. Ironically, I love English class and intend on majoring in English Literature in college this fall (You'd think I could at least understand themes!). So my list includes:
1. Love
2. Loyalty
3. Family/Friendship
4. Good VS Evil
5. Free Will/The Power of Choices
6.Life Isn't Fair
7. Appearances Are Not What They Seem
8. Bravery
9. Overcoming Pain/Trial/Circumstances
10.The Inadequacy of Government/Anarchy
11.Quest for Power
12. Everyone Dies/Accepting Death
13.Sacrifice
14. Equatlity/The Worth of All People
15. The Strenght of Outcasts
There are probably more. I'm pretty sure that Dumbledore's having blue eyes is a theme. It's often mentioned. Let me know if you think of any or if there are any blaring issues with this list.
