Helen McCrory is possibly the worst casting EVER in the Harry Potter movies. She is
not Narcissa. Narcissa is not that wrinkly. Narcissa is pretty and young and not anything like McCrory at all. I can understand why she might be casted as Bellatrix, but
Narcissa? Nononono. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm dreading this.

At any rate. Lately my life has been busy like whoa, and it will most probably be like that for a while. Tenth grade sure is hectic.
To let you know what I've been up to lately:
Muse concert
It was absolutely fantastic. Muse is a really hyped up band when it comes to shows, and they deserve every word of it! It was awesome to meet
noemedandrea and
assasinxmuffin again, I hadn't seen them in a while, and while we were waiting outside we also met two others from the Norwegian My Chemical Romance MB where I first got in touch with
assasinxmuffin. It's always awesome to be at gigs because the others there are so friendly. There was a girl who handed out chocolate, we all talked to complete strangers and it wasn't as boring to wait as usual.
When we got in, we ran over to the merch stall right away (I had learned after the Dream Theater gig) and bought our stuff before we ran over to the stage, securing some awesome spots.
The support band was some all female, Finnish, punk-rocky,
The Donnas-esque band named something with Cowboys. They were pretty cool but I think the crowd was awfully hostile and they didn't get enough applause or anything. :/
It was a looong wait after that. Then Muse came on the whole crowd just frenzied and me and my mates screamed like shit. To be completely honest, I can't remember much but I do remember that it was fucking amazing and that they played two of my favorite songs by them, "Stockholm Syndrome" & "Plug In Baby". I also remember meeting a friend of Adrian and talking to a guy who looked very much like Anders from
Raske Menn. In fact, he was so much like him he could've been him, if Anders had been younger. The whole thing was awesome, I had so much fun. Absolutely one of the best concerts I've been to thus far in my life <3
London
I've wanted to go to London the last couple of years now, and I was absolutely thrilled when I was told that we were in fact going. Mom has always said "Let's do it this vacation!" but it never got any longer than that. I was taken out of school two days (boo-hoo, poor me *is very sarcastic*) and we stayed from Thursday until Sunday. I was a very.. forgetful moron and forgot to tell my piano teacher we were going away, heh. It went alright, though. She got a box of chocolate and I got to be in London.
We lived right next to Marylbone Road, very close to Oxford Street and all that jazz. Alright hotel, not too shabby but I've been to better places. I used almost all my savings on CDs and gifts for people back home, and a couple of books and a
Little Britain calendar.
Places visited were Madame Tussauds, Tate Modern & Camden market. I didn't find anything I could buy at Camden, which sucks since I liked a lot there. Ah well.
It was a great trip. :] Next destination of choice: AMERICA.
Hope you had a nice weekend! ♥
