Snape... Snape... Severus Snape <3
I have been reading the Harry Potter books and I really do love them! I have religiously seen the movies within the first few days of them coming out and never stopped to read the books. But with a revived passion for reading... I am happy that I have begun the adventure!
Which leads me to my next point...
Ok... So it may come as no 
surprise but... I HEART SNAPE!!!
I mean, I really do! I always have, even when everyone thought he was the bad guy... I don't know what it is about him. Maybe it's his black hair and odd looks. The quiet and mysterious type... or just the way he says, "Turn to page three hundred and ninety-four" and the four lingers on his lips as they pucker out. I guess I've always had a thing for the odd ones--being one myself. Ahaha! Ok, enough grossing you all out because I know I am the odd one out on this one... but I just had to finally express my love <3>
Snape, you keep making your potions! Go on with your bad self ;)
Since Kari is talking music, I will too. Halcali is great. They are becoming a little TOO mainstream and popish but I forgive them for now. Their new song is different from their usual style...not as mush rap. They are dressed kind of like ravers, but again I will forgive them since they put Tokyo Tower in their music video. I especially like the scene at 2:11.
Still, nothing can beat their original sound and personality.

The Raveonettes Sune Rose Wagner goes Solo!
Sune Rose Wagner, one half of the Raveonettes, has made a solo album titled Sune Rose Wagner and it is amazing! Take a listen!
Sune Rose Wagner Solo
I do not understand a single word because the album is in Danish but that doesn't stop my love of his surfer rock sound. Think Beach Boys and Dick Dale with a dark twist.
Left to Right: Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo
Here is the track listing for Wagner's solo album:
1. “Hvad Der Sker”
2. “Et Underfuldt Liv”
3. “Afgrunden”
4. “Altid”
5. “Tyskerpiger”
6. “Samme Vej”
7. “Svinske Mænd”
8. “Gi' Mig en Pige”
9. “Beruset og Forhadt”
10. “Din Mund”
My personal favs are “Gi' Mig en Pige” and “Altid.”
In an interview, when asked if all of the songs on the album are about lust in some way, Wagner said of the Raveonette's most current album Lust Lust Lust, "Yeah, they are. Most of the album really is lusting after the unknown. Lusting after things you can’t get. It’s sort of like you want everything all at once. And sometimes you can’t have that. Sometimes you’ve got to choose, and that’s a hard thing.
Does that not sum up our lives or what!? We are all lusting after so many different things yet we can't do everything. Katie, you just posted a blog about picking and choosing your passions in life! Check out the Raveonettes! Especially if you like Christmas music because they have some pretty bomb Christmas songs!
Enjoy!

Real Simple has this wonderful compilation of articles on how to give back. The articles range from how to organize different charitable events, how to donate items/materials/goods, to how to help a friend in need.
Here is the link for the compilation of articles (to view other articles, click on the links on the sidebar):
How to Give Back: Organizing Charitable Events
Doing good deeds is always fun and rewarding. Maybe we can get together during Christmas and make beanies/scarves to donate like Katie is doing?
