Hello! I'm blogging to spread some holiday cheer and wish each and every one of my followers a
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
How are you all doing this holiday season? I'm sorry I haven't been blogging lately, but I've just been so busy! Schoolwork, holiday shopping, you know.
As of the 21st I've been on winter break! Woohoo!!!!! More time for friends, reading, not doing homework, and, of course, blogging.
Are you doing anything special during the break? On Saturday, my friends and I are going to see Les Miserables!!!! My all-time favorite production!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I have to say is this: Russel Crowe had better do a dang good job as Javert, or he'll be hearing from my lawyers. I'm dead serious.
Well, on that note, Doctor Who: The Snowmen airs in 53 minutes!!!! How many Whovians out there are getting in there pajamas, taking a couple of holiday goodies, and hiding down in their TV room to watch it? *Raises hand* Teehee...I'll be curling up in my bunny slippers with a box of Russell Stover chocolates, and rejecting any family member who tries to join me. (I know that sounds mean, but Doctor Who is quite literally my only me time. :P.)
Well, I must get ready! To the TARDIS!!!!
Happy Holidays,
Hermione
(P.S. I would just LOVE to hear about your holiday, so comment with whatever you'd like--presents you received or gave, holiday traditions, etc.)

Connecticut Shooting
One man.
His gun.
26 innocent victims--the majority of them children.
It makes me sick.
Why do people do this? Why do they bring harm to other people who had never even entered their lives before?
There is no word that is able describe this. I'll be praying for the victims and their families all throughout this week.
I read about these things and cannot believe how lucky I am. These children, with their whole lives ahead of them, will never know what could've been. And I'm still here. With a future ahead of me. It's enough to make anyone put away all of their sorry and realize how lucky they are.
Stay safe,
Hermione

Time to Make You All Cry
*Waring*: Contains spoilers for Harry Potter.
This paragraph was created by a fan, NOT J.K. Rowling:
At Luna’s wedding, the whole of the front row seats was reserved for apparently no-one. Harry went up to her at the end of the service. “Luna, who was meant to sit there?” Luna turned her glassy eyes to him. “Oh, they did sit there. In a spiritual way, I suppose” she said. She pointed out the seats one by one. “Right. That one’s for my mother, those are for your parents because I think I..would have liked them, that one is for Sirius, the one next to that was for Professor Lupin - they were friends, weren’t they? - and thats for Tonks, then Fred Weasley, then Mad-Eye, then Professor Dumbledore, then Professor Snape. I hope they liked the wedding.” She smiled and waved into what was seemingly empty space, before prancing off into the crowds. Harry had never felt so touched before.
"Every mirror is the Mirror of Erised to George Weasley."

Now, of you'll excuse me, I have created a river with my tears and must leave before I drown. Sorry if I caused any permanent heart-damage.

Lights...Camera...Stage Fright!
I get awful stage fright.
I start shaking, I can't breathe, and I think I'm going to barf.
It's the worst feeling ever.
Some days, I can get through it. Today was not one of those days. I was at my piano recital. There is only one other girl besides me whom both plays and sings. Anyway, for one of my pieces, I was singing with this girl (who is really nice), and I totally freaked out during the piece. I could only get a few notes out, and she was really doing most of the singing. I was supposed to sing a solo after that, but I just had to tell my piano/voice instructor I couldn't do it. Now I'm really disappointed :(.
As upsetting as that was, I realize now that it happens to everybody. My dad himself told me that as a boy, he was too afraid to play his clarinet in front of his own grandmother.
So if you ever are performing and get stage fright, just remember: it happens to everyone. Some may say that they don't get stage fright, but it's probably just not the freeze-in-place or want-to-barf kind. You'll be fine! And if you ever need to back out of it, by all means, back out! It's no fun if you feel sick!
Thanks for reading,
Hermione <3
