If I could, maybe I'd give you my world, how can I when you won't take it from me?

Lyrics: go your own way / fleetwood mac

Hey little train, wait for me, I was held in chains but now I'm free, I'm hanging in there, don't you see, in this process of elimination

"No story lives unless someone wants to listen. So thank you, all of you. Thank you for queuing for the books all those years. Thank you for camping out in a wet Trafalgar Square. And you know what...I know there are people all over the world right now, waiting in cinemas for the film to start, but Dan has already said it: the stories we love best do live in us forever. So, whether you come back by page, or by the big sceen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." - JK Rowling

Lyrics: o children / nick cave and the bad seeds

Used to be one of the rotten ones, and I liked you for that. Now you're all gone, got your make up on and you're not coming back. Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath, bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under my window..Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me

also i'm rereading harry potter

ysee i couldn't sleep on saturday night i was just wide awake and i felt quite nervous but idk why so i got out harry potter and the philosopher's stone and just started to read it..i love rereading books but especially harry potter ones because it's like going back to childhood it's like putting on a comfy pair of shoes or drinking a cup of hot chocolate it's soothing and reassuring because i know the words inside out and i'm really enjoying it

i forgot how magic harry potter can be i know that sounds silly but it's like going to another world

Lyrics: anthems for a 17 year old girl / broken social scene

I've got a big fat fucking bone to pick with you my darling in case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying I wish you would take my radio to bed with you plugged in and ready to fall

Lyrics: radio / alkaline trio

So at my show on Monday I was hoping someday you'd be on your way to better things it's not about your make up or how you try to shape up to these tiresome paper dreams

Lyrics: she moves in her own way / the kooks

Now you write because you love him now you write because he's kind you write so much you look up and you wrote yourself behind and you're standing in a labyrinth of paper and the map has been erased

Lyrics: paper forest / emmy the great

The book of love is long and boring and written very long ago it's full of flowers and heart shaped boxes and things we're all too young to know but I I love it when you give me things and you you ought to give me wedding rings

Lyrics: book of love / peter gabriel

We were walking there I had tangles in my hair but you make me feel so pretty you have shining eyes yes like those forest lights and it makes me want to cry



Lyrics: brightly wound / eisley

Should I go or should I stay my flowers are dying and I'm sick and tired anyway this boy seems kind of cool his jeans are kind of low well I think I'll go

Lyrics: little red / kate nash

Oh I cut his hair myself one night a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light and he told me that I'd done all right and kissed me till the morning light the morning light and he kissed me till the morning light

oh and my copy of 'the two princesses of bamarre' came today i was so happy i just started reading it as soon as i opened the package it's so lovely and magical even the artwork on the front cover just makes me think of magic haha, i'm so going to read it to my children when i have them it's on my list up there with harry potter raspberries on the yangtze the enid blyton mysteries and nancy drew and stuff like that

i won't rest until my children are bookworms haha

Lyrics: samson / regina spektor

I learned the hard way that they all say things you want to hear and my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words your help just hurts you are not what I thought you were hello to high and dry

i forgot about this book! i read it years ago and i read ella enchanted at the same time i much preferred this one it was like a proper fairytale..i need to buy a copy and reread it

that said, 'ella enchanted' made an awesome film that i need to watch again soon as childish as that may sound haha

Lyrics: love song / sara bareilles

I shall never grow up make believe is much too fun this place is so lovely it kind of makes me very happy let's go far away to the humming meadow

Lyrics: brightly wound / eisley

You won't admit you love me and so how am I ever to know you always tell me perhaps perhaps perhaps a million times I've asked you and then I ask you over again you only answer perhaps perhaps perhaps

Lyrics: perhaps perhaps perhaps / doris day

Holy eyes I never knew I'd beg down at your feet hold on tight I never knew I'd know much more than this open sky the wave of pain the scent of you is bliss hungry eyes they stare at me I know I know don't go

the smell of old books is heavenly i could get high off that smell it's just pure magic and i can't even explain it it just fills me with such joy you don't even know

Lyrics: the hunger / the distillers

Our paperback books our charming looks our identical hands composing our commands

Lyrics: plenty of paper / eisley

Let's go to the movies I will hum you a song about nothing at all let's go to the movies I will sing you a song about nothing at all let's go to the movies let's go to the movies

Lyrics: loveology / regina spektor

You know the games I play and the words I say when I want my own way you know the lies I tell when you've gone through hell and I say I can't stay you know how hard it can be to keep believing in me when everything and everyone becomes my enemy

Lyrics: opheliac / emilie autumn

It was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing it was a lie when they smiled and said you won't feel a thing and as we ran from the cops we laughed so hard it would sting

so yeah this weekend we went to the making of harry potter at leavesden studios..

we had to get up really early to drive down there in time and it was a really long boring journey and we got lost pretty fast even for us..then we reached watford and we saw signs for the studios and i thought my mum was going to die from excitement.

we got there and the people..right i thought i was a harry potter geek but i'm not even compared to some of those people lmao, not that there's anything wrong with it i thought it was pretty cool that some of them dressed up as characters or just in school uniform

we went in the shop first whilst we waited for our tour to begin the shop was amazing i wanted to look at absolutely everything it was a bit pricey but we expected it to be

then the tour started.

by the way i have bigger hands than emma watson and daniel radcliffe and the same sized hands as rupert grint and all of the actors in the films seem really small because their costumes looked tiny, i swear that the most normal sized people on set were the weasley twins

it starts off with an introductory video then they show you into the great hall which is the only bit that is guided, they quickly move you on to the next bit and then you can go round it at your own pace

the sets were amazing. there was so much detail and effort gone into each one and most of it you miss when you watch the films but i definitely won't know haha. in terms of sets the highlights for me were the boy's dormitory, the gryffindor common room, umbridge's office and the potion labs but all of them were amazing

outside they sell butterbeer which was all right but a bit sickly. the knight bus is outside and you can stand on it but you can't go in it but i didn't mind haha i had my picture taken on it anyway you can also see privet drive (squee), godric's hollow and the hogwarts bridge plus all of the wizard chess pieces i liked looking at all of these things, again the detail is really amazing but it started raining so we moved on pretty quickly

the next bit was all the animatronics and make up effects..some of this was actually quite morbid haha they had all the 'dead bodies' of the actors and dobby's dead body in a case, complete with bloodstain not to mention voldemort in foetal form. but they were amazing too they were all really lifelike it was also the section with the animals like buckbeak (so realistic), the dragons heads, the dementors (only a foot tall in real life haha) and the thestrals..again they were all really amazing pieces of work

then it was diagon alley.

right. one of the best bits of the day. it looks exactly like it does on the film. the shop windows are ridiculously detailed and they look like you can just wander inside and start shopping i think my favourite window was the ice cream parlour because it looked so sweet and the colours they used were really fitting for the shop

following this was the set design section and artist's concept, i'll admit i wasn't so interested in this bit but the paper models were pretty good and some of the paintings were beautiful

i thought that the tour was wrapping up then because it went all dark and there were signs for fire exits but it wasn't

i turned a corner and there was hogwarts

the paper model they used to film and it was literally a 'wow' moment because it looked like a real castle, it was fucking amazing and the effort that must have gone into it..it was one of those things you could look at all day from every angle. there were even little people in the grounds! it was brilliant and the way it was set up so you came around the corner and just saw it like they do in the first film just made it even better

the last bit was where all the wands were kept for all the people involved in the films. it was really fun looking for all the familiar names, by the end of it we found daniel radcliffe's, rupert grint's, emma watson's, kenneth branagh's, alan rickman's, timothy spall's, michael gambon's, ben shepherd's (TV presenter i love haha), bonnie wright's, tom felton's, and a few others i can't remember oh and we found jk rowling's too

i bought a ravenclaw scarf, some badges and some chocolate from the shop and i was really pleased and giddy as we left all i wanted to do was talk about it

all in all it was a brilliant fascinating day and i'm so glad i went i'd love to go again the only down side was the other people on the tour because some of them were so rude, they'd walk into pictures you were taking and stand in the way of the sets for ages but that aside it was still really really good one of the best weekends i've had in a long long time

Lyrics: disenchanted / my chemical romance

And I know that it's complicated but I'm a loser in love so baby raise a glass to mend all the broken hearts of all my wrecked up friends

Lyrics: speechless / lady gaga

Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes just give me some candy before I go oh darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug just give me some candy after my hug

Lyrics: candy / paolo nutini
