Recently I’ve been on a slight exercise kick. Like today, I went jogging at 7, had dance class at 9, and yoga for actors at 10:30. All in all, it has made me feel great about myself…for the mornings. Unfortunately I keep ending up stressed and tired by the end of the night and ready to viciously kill any bug that dares to come into my presence. I start off the day relaxed and calm and here I am needing to go to bed and I can barely lower my shoulders I’m so tense and grumpy. I would have thought that by dropping extracurriculars I would have an easier term, but that does not appear to be the case. I can tell its a bad sign for my health if its the first full week of classes and I’m already getting a little bit sick-good thing I’m not auditioning for shows this weekend or I’d be screwed. Die little mosquito vermin, die!
Bleed red the falling cries of pain,
burn white the flame of rage
Save me from this pull within,
the want to strike my fellow men
Just let me live my life alone
I have no need of any but kin.

fabulous
seriously, who doesn’t love bellatrix lestrange? she’s too crazy not to like even if she killed sirius black and tonks. also, who could forget the battle of hogwarts when mrs. weasley screams, “get away from my daughter you BITCH!” amazing. she’s voldemort’s most loyal servant, a devoted death eater, an azkaban alumni and bat-shit crazy to boot. not only is she a gem in the books, but helena bonham carter takes her role to a whole other level in the movies. give it up for bellatrix lestrange.
1: you filthy half blood: cape by phillip lim, dress and tights by givenchy, boots by balmain

Actually, it’s just the bass reverberating from the “Throwback Jam.” I’m really glad I
am being forcedget to listen to “Get your nuggie on.” It’s six in the afternoon and WHAT DOES IT MEAN??
