Hi. My name is Catie. I'm 17 years old, and a senior in high school. I'm determined to make a difference in this world, even if that only means bringing a smile to someone's face. I hope that someone will be you.

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2 | 1015 favourite moments
→ The Order enters the Great Hall (4/15)

Even though this doesn’t exist, I loved this part.

HP7PT2 always makes me cry. Especially any part with Snape in it.

“”Good to see you, Mr. Tyrol,” Adama says, but he’s not looking at Tyrol at all. He’s looking at some beautiful vision in front of him that makes his eyes sparkle. Maybe he see’s a Unicorn, or God, or A shiny new viper. But no…he’s looking at Laura Roslin and suddenly big MGM movies with overblown budgets are not epic anymore. Really long novels by dead authors who are referred to as the ‘greats’…those ain’t epic no more either. The Romans…not epic. Sumerians. Not epic. All the wars, real or imaginary that may or may not involve robots and superheroes. Not epic.
But, Bill Adama taking Laura Roslin into his arms and kissing her like they’ve got 2 minutes to live. EPIC.
It’s the only kind of PDA this science fiction fan can tolerate because it’s real, it’s beautiful and it’s the truth that’s been bounding relentlessly, to and fro, around these two people since the first time you saw them look at each other. It’s Han and Leia if they grew old together and never lost their awesome. It’s Buffy and Angel if they saved the world, got older and moved to jupiter. It’s all the couples you once thought were the shit. Until…Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos pwned them all.

Epic.”

nerdquirks: These kids painted an entire chapter of Harry Potter onto their wall! This is the chapter from Deathly Hallows, which tells the Tale of the Three Brothers. (Thanks to Nicole for sending this in via email.) If you could paint a chapter of Harry Potter onto your wall which chapter in the whole series would you choose? The Prince’s Tale!

What’s up with her smiling with her teeth all the time now all of a sudden? Eeeeee. I’m glad and also slightly paranoid because it seems like she barely opened her mouth offstage through the entire run of Follies, and now since all of our fangirling (and fanboying) conversations about how she…

Yeah, it probably goes something like that.
