A Breath Away From Where You Are...

*SPOILER ALERT* This post contains spoilers for the musical/book Les Miserables and a MAJOR spoiler for the movie The Dark Knight Rises. To avoid, do not read the green and pink sections.
I'm a crier. I cry at songs, books, movies, etc. And the title of this post? That's from the Les Mis song, "A Little Fall of Rain." In this song, Eponine, one of the female leads, is dying in the arms of the man she loved but he never loved her in return. Well...he loved her, but like a sister, I guess. Anyway, she's dying and there are two lines I cry at:
1. The line featured above--"A breath away from where you are; I've come home from so far.
2. "You would live a hundred years if I could show you how."
What other songs do I cry at? Well, this may not really be considered an actual song, but it's sung! It's the Epilogue/Finale from Les Mis. Notice a patter? LOL. It's where Jean Valjean, the main character joins Eponine and the other female lead, Fantine, in heaven.
Another song I cry at is the finale from Wicked. Yeah...I cry a lot.
Anyway, I'm still working on 101 Ways to Use Magic to the Fullest. It's a lot more time consuming than you'd think...anyway, I should probably tell you what's been going on over the past few days.
I return to school on the 27th. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Yes, I'm SO dreading school. I mean, here's what school has taught me:
  • Never eat glue.
  • Rulers are not toys
  • Colored pencils are way better than crayons.
  • But you still can't eat either of those.
You see? I know all of the important things in life. So why do I still need to go to school? I know that school supplies are not food and not toys. My many years of learning have been successful; hopefully, from what they have taught me, I will never have to go to the emergency room because my mouth is glued shut.
In other news, did anyone see The Dark Knight Rises? I did a few weeks ago and I'm a wee bit ashamed to say...I cried. But can you blame me? Batman was exploded in attempt to save Gotham city, and Alfred crying was just too much to take. However, The director left it open to interpretation whether or not Batman was alive. Which. I. Hated. I mean, it was creative and all, but was it real or Alfred's imagination? That killed me. 
Oh, and while we're on the topic of Batman, does anyone know if Barnes and noble sells Marvel or DC comic books? And if not, where I can find some? Ha, that was such a nerdy question. Oh, another thing you might like to know about me: I'm a nerd and proud :D.
Yes, I know, this has been one ranting post. But, at least it's over now and you can all go back to your lives that are probably much more exciting than mine at the moment :P.
Remember: never eat glue and you'll turn out okay!
Ciao,
Hermione

Hi! I always LOVE to hear what my readers have to say, and it would make my day if you would comment! I'm sure you all know what's accepted and what's not, so I'm not going to bug you with a bunch of rules. Pretty much keep it clean, no profanity, and no flaming. Thanks!
