Things I'm Obsessing Over

“They don’t like you because they think you white trash.”

her portrayal was amazing on screen it made me feel for Cecilia’s character even more than in the books

but also perhaps it was because I was already aware of the sad sad history of her character because I had already read the whole book

but really the acting in this movie is superb

‘you’re a brunette you don’t understand!’

so Amy Poehler is unnaturally blonde? I figured as much but it’s such a great shade

Can we all please take a moment to appreciate Hagrid here? Seriously, everyone always talks about how Harry has no father figure and how terrible it was for Sirius to die because now Harry’s all alone (dont get me wrong, Sirius is my favorite character) but honestly, Hagrid is the best father Harry ever had. He did so much for him, and no one, sometimes not even Harry realizes that. Hagrid gets no where near the mount of credit he deserves. Take a minute and try to imagine where Harry would be with out him and you’ll understand what im talking about.

ALL OF THIS.

I’m not sure if ‘father’ figure is the right word

but uncle or caring male figure is spot on

Harry has always been able to somewhat rely on Hagrid, although he is a bit bumbling at best.

watching this movie on Netlix

crying over all of the work and dedication into teaching and education

for children that the system has largely written off

all of the educators that care and are trying to change

the students who desperately want to work and learn

the parents who are just trying to get better for their children than they have as they struggle to get by

it’s beautiful. 

Someone remind me why I didn’t go for education again. 

It’s such a high stakes area though. Would I be good enough? I would care. But I can’t promise I’d be good. 

I can’t do lateral entry due to my horrific college grades that I regret but were largely a case of my life falling apart at times. 

Perhaps a few years doing other things first. Then go back and get the 15 hours above a 3.0 GPA. Go back to get a masters in education. 

I’m done with school for the moment though. I need some time to breath. But I think this issue will eventually come back to me. It’s been something that’s itched at the back of my brain for awhile. 

I grew up poor. Dirt poor. Living on food stamps on government housing aid. I’ve lived in the projects. Not like some people say where they mean they lived near a rough area. I mean government housing. I’ve seen the children that lived in my poor neighborhoods get written off. I’ve gotten by and not faced the same prejudice as some of my socioeconomic peers. I was white so I ‘passed’ a lot of times and didn’t get the same scrutiny. But I also succeeded due to my escape. I had an abusive step father for a decade so I spent a lot of time staying out of the line of site and thus harm’s way. So I did my homework and I read a novel a day in whatever hidey hole I managed to find in our home at the time. So I was smart. Because I read and was quiet and did as I was told. But I watched my peers fall in the cracks. I moved around a lot but there’s a lot of people I watched being written off by their teachers. I’ve looked up some of these people and they didn’t graduate from high school. A fate I could have predicted without finding them again. 

I don’t think that’s fair. Poverty is a self perpetuating cycle. Education is a way out of it. 

This has been a really long post. It got off topic. But remained on topic in it’s own way. I essentially started a brain vomit due to feelings.

Aziz Ansari, Rihanna, Paul Rudd, Michael Cera, Kevin Hart, James Franco, Mindy Kaling, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill and Emma Watson on the set of Seth Rogen’s new film “The End of the World” in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 31, 2012

I didn’t realize they were filming in New Orleans.

damn who isn’t gonna be in this film?

holy shit, is this real life?

I think the fact that I have preexisting tags for most of these actors reflects how excited I am for this movie

oh 

Also the fact that the faux trailer has existed for soooo long and I’m excited to finally see it happen

watching the modern remake of Little Fugitives

see Peter Dinklage plays the children’s father in this version

seems to be some sort of underlying theme of ‘Midget City’ in the historic Coney Island

interesting 

also I have never seen an episode of Game of Thrones but I still see Peter Dinklage as the perfect Tyrion. So it’s extra fitting that this character is in jail.
