the Passions of Nate

My father is a stubborn, agervating man.  The fact that my mother has been married to him for over 30 years is a miracle to me!  UGH!

My father comes to complaining about how I am scratching up the side of his van by carrying out the trash cans past his van on trash day, after I told him a LLLLOOOOONNNNGGG time ago to park to one side of the driveway so I could have room to get the cans by without scratching up the side of his van, but will he do it? NOOOOO!

And once again, he sits crooked in the middle of the drive with NO chance of getting the cans by without scratching his van.  What am i to do?  Wake up my parents at 1 O clock in the morning so he can move the van out the driveway long enough for me drag out the cans?  i would never hear the end of it!  I don't HARDLY think so!

So I'm gonna just leave him alone and let him sleep.  he will wake in the morning with a note on the mirror, telling him I couldn't get the cans by his van last night without scratching it and he's gonna have to take out the cans.  Point-blank.  I'm just so... UGH!  Goodnight!

THIS BOOK IS SOOOOOOO LOOOOOONNNNGGGGGG!!!!  AAAAAHHHH!!!  I am finally on my way to finishing Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix after a week of trudging though this book of 870 pages!  There have been too many down moments, and I've been really busy, so I haven't had much time to read it.  But I'm sure The Half Blood Prince will be better.  I have not finished the book yet, so I am still wondering what will happen to serious while he is in Voldemort's Possession.  And I'm so mad at Snape for cutting off Harry's Occlumency lessons.  Dumbledore has not been right yet, but I am sure he will prove to be right before this night is out.  And I wonder what the centaurs are going to do to that God-awful woman, Umbridge.  Now that was funny!  Let me see, what else.  Um, nothing.  I just want to get back to reading.  I'll be back to share my thoughts after the books is finished... Yeeeeaaaaaahh.

i am no longer aiming to get that box set.  it would be nice to have.  But I don't cherish the Harry Potter books THAT much to want to buy the box-set to keep.  I am getting the books from the library and happily taking them back.  i don't want to KEEP in Harry Potter stuff in my house.  I'm good.

The Next Day....

ok, I'm back, and i finished order of the phoenix, FINALLY!  Whoever wants to read that book, beware.  It's extremely long.  That is jacked up how serious dies, and I couldn't imagine the burden that is now on Harry's shoulders right now because of Trelawney's prophecy.  I can't start Half Blood Prince, yet.  God said wait.  So...  I'm going to wait... successfully, this time.  Order of the Phoenix was a good book, with a great ending, although, it was really hard to appreciate and savor the ending.  I just wanted to hurry up and finish the darn thing.  it was so long.  I felt I had been reading it long enough.  My goodness, I can't get over how long it was!  Anyway, i have to get up for work tomorrow morning, so i am off to bed, now.  Goodnight.

The Goblet of Fire is a HUGE book.  I cannot get over that.  Way past 700 pages!!!

Anyway, when i first started reading Harry Potter, I was told not to forget God. (God said this, y'all not no other person.), and so there is a youth revival at my church this week, and I am the lead musician.  What a scary thought.  I did fairly well last night ONLY by the spirit of God moving through my hands.  i can testify to that.  But towards the end of the service, I heard Him say to take a break from Harry Potter until the revival is over.  Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Just three days.  It is not bad.  i can handle that.... even though I did slip a little last night and today, but i want to be obedient to the God I told I would not forget.

So far, Goblet of fire is really good.  i know Harry was not expecting Harmoine to look so beautiful at that ball, and Ron didn't even recognize her when he walked passed/past (not sure which one should go there.  Someone help me out) her!  That was funny.  Well I will keep posting my progress, and maybe even a testimony from this weeks revival.

Which reminds me.... no... I'll save that for later if I remember.

BYE!

I am experiencing a GREAT moment of joy.  For about a month and a half, I have been asking my father to fix my window-screen, because bugs, moths, and potato bugs were coming in through the window.  And he also had to actually put a screen in the other window in my room.  Well, I'm glad to say that he put a screen in the screenless window, and told me how to patch up the holes in the one that needed fixing, YAY!!!  I"M SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!  My heart filled with such joy as I went to drop off my stuff in my room after work.  it was like instant rest.  My father was like, "Everything has a time.  Nothing happens before the time."  I thought to myself, "yeah, but things can happen after the time, as well," because this was LOOOOONG overdo.  but he finally did it.

A note on Harry potter.  i finished the chamber of secrets in less than twenty four hours, WITH the break of a good night's rest, meals, showers, and time to cook dinner.  I AM THE BOMB!!! lol!  Chamber of Secrets was Hilarious.  i would have started yesterday after I finished Chamber of Secrets, but my head was hurting.  I had been reading ALLLLLLLLL day long.  But I'm about to start it now.  Wish me luck.  I hope to be done by Monday afternoon (Busy weekend).  Have good sleeps everybody!

i was gonna start the book outside on the deck, but I waited too late, and the Mosquitos are starting to come out.  I'm going in the house to read.  goodnight everybody.

I finished the first Harry Potter book today at around 2, and went to the library to pick up the other three Harry Potter Books I didn't yet have which were

1. The Goblet of Fire
2. The Order of The Phoenix
3. The Half-Blood Prince

THESE BOOKS ARE HUGE!!!  Three single books, and my books bag was looking like I had bought all my books for school, LORD HAVE MERCY!!  My back was killing me by the time I got home.  i expressed my concerns before i even left the library.  The librarian said i would knock those books out in no-time.  She was shocked when i told her I had taken out the sorcerer's stone on Tuesday.

The Sorcerer's Stone was good.  It was fun to read, but because the books was so identical to the movie, I was kind of expecting everything so it wasn't as fun to read.  It was cool.  i started Chamber of Secrets, and this one you could tell there was some stuff cut out from the movie, so it is a good read.  I enjoyed reading about the Whomping Willow.  It's funny every time. And what's-his-name (something Lockhart) is even more agervating in the books than he is in the movie!  He does so much more stuff.  And Colin (the little boy you see flashing the camera that the Bludger chasing Harry almost hit in the movie) is a much more developed character in the book, and it's so funny to see him follow Harry EVERYWHERE.  Harry has a fan. lol. Well I'm going back to my reading. Good bye.
