My mom's a real-estate agent, and my dad designs and builds cabinets, and nobody wants a house or cabinets, so the recession has most definitely taken a toll on the household income, thus making Christmas for us incredibly small this year. But that's okay, because we were actually forced to spend time with each other, and it was lovely.

My brother and I got a Wii from my parents, along with the usual stocking stuffers consisting of toothbrushes, tooth paste, floss, loofas, gloves, and m&m's minis. We also took a trip to the movies to see Sherlock Holmes, and my mom is taking us shopping this weekend. ((OME I am so proud of myself! I hooked up the Wii all by myself!!! *squeeeeee*)) My grandparents got me a $30 gift card to walmart which I fully intend to spend on another controller for the Wii. My aunt and uncle got us jack shit, but my uncle got a nasty virus off my laptop and is working on trying to find me another charger, so I guess that counts as a present...?

So yeah, I'm kinda sad I didn't get anything epic this year, but I'm just glad to have a roof over my head and food in the pantry, and family/friends that love and care for me.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS YALL!!!!!

Rough draft of my cause or effect essay for English. Subject: The events that caused Tom Riddle to become Lord Voldemort.

Criticism is very much welcomed. Be as harsh as possible. It won't make me cry, I promise.


“It is our choices, Harry…” -Albus Dumbledore

 

There are many instances in our lives where we have the opportunity to define our character. We have control over most of these instances, e.g. studying for a test versus not studying and cheating off our neighbor, but there are a few select times in which control is out of our hands, such as where we were born and raised. Tom Riddle, a character in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series, also experiences events in his life where he is forced to define himself. These situations, both good and bad, combined with the choices he makes while facing them ultimately cause him to become the dark wizard known as Lord Voldemort.

The first way to understand someone’s current character is to go back and look at his or her ancestry. Tom Riddle is a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin, a very powerful and harsh wizard. Slytherin despised anyone who wasn’t pureblood, or born of an all-wizarding family, and he made it known that his entire line was to remain pure. Unfortunately, wizards were scarce, so in order to keep the Slytherin line pure, inbreeding was required. On the surface, this idea seemed flawless: the entire line would consist of the greatest wizards of all time and Salazar would be eternally pleased with his heirs. Underneath the greatness, however, lurked the genes of abnormality and hostility, both of which appeared in Tom Riddle very early on in his life.

Riddle was born and raised in a dingy orphanage in London, and according to the matron of the orphanage, Tom was a strange child. He hardly ever cried when he was a baby, and as he grew, he slowly discovered his powers and immediately started testing their limits. He began bullying the other children, murdering their pets, and stealing their toys. He made horrible things happen to the kids who annoyed him, possibly traumatizing them for the rest of their lives. No one at the orphanage ever told him he was wrong for performing such acts because the matron never caught him in the act and the children were all afraid he would do more bad things to them if they told on him.

Finally, a man named Albus Dumbledore came along and set Tom straight. Although his instincts for secrecy, cruelty, and domination made Dumbledore uneasy, he was not at all afraid of Riddle. He calmly told Tom that they were both wizards, and if Tom wanted, he could come and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with other special children like himself. Naturally, Riddle accepted the offer and soon after his arrival, he learned that he was a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin. He also discovered that his mother, albeit a witch, died soon after giving birth to him and his father, a muggle, or non-magical person, never wanted anything to do with him. Disgusted by his parents, Tom rejected his birth name and forevermore adopted the name Lord Voldemort, which he discovered after re-arranging the letters of his name.

Riddle was so repulsed by the fact that his mother chose death over saving herself that he began to strive towards immortality. He ultimately believed that mortality was beneath him, and he practiced that belief through the creation of Horcruxes. (A Horcrux is the name for an object in which a person has stored a portion of their soul.) Soon after he learned what a Horcrux was and how they were created, Riddle made his first when he was only seventeen. The successful creation of this first Horcrux caused him to create seven more and to finally become the dark wizard that Harry duels in the final book of the series.

Even though Tom Riddle had no choice when it came to his ancestry and the place where he was raised, throughout most of his life, Tom did have a choice when it came to defining himself. He chose, at a very young age, to use his powers for personal gain and evil doing. He chose to go against nature and attempt immortality. All of his choices, along with the instances in which he had no control, ultimately caused Tom Riddle to become Lord Voldemort.

I love this piece so much. It makes me smile every single time I listen to it. Even though I know this won't happen for a while, I've actually kinda already decided that this will be the song I walk down the aisle to. At about 00:26 is where the doors to the church will open and I'll start walking. :D

( Vlog? Under the cut! )




These just seem to keep getting more and more boring. y/y?
Any suggestions on how I could make them more interesting?

I'm in an unusual sharing kind of mood tonight, so here's what's included:
1) Wood family update!
2) Scamander family update!
3) First essay I wrote for English 110
4) Another essay I wrote for English 110


( WAIT A MINUTE. 'SYLVIA' MEANS 'FOREST' IN LATIN. LMFAO. SO HER NAME IS GONNA BE FOREST WOOD. REDUNDANT, MUCH?? )

( Meanwhile, at the Scamander household, Lor and Ly get all incestual. ~IN. MY. FUCKING. DREAMS.~ )



( WRITERS HATE ROLLER COASTERS )


( I LIKE IRRELEVANT DETAILS LIKE BIRDS AND OCEAN WATER AND SHIT )

Sorry if there were any misspellings, grammar errors, etc. I'm too lazy to proof-read this long-ass post.

This time it's the Scamander family ((mostly Lor/Ly))

( Still a copy-cat... )

I finally turned those danged caps characters into Sims.
I've made Oliver and Penny, and the entire Scamander family so far.

OLIVER AND PENNY ARE JUST AS DISGUSTINGLY PRESH WHEN THEY'RE SIMS.

( I'm such a copy-cat... )

Grabbed a curling iron by the metal part to see if it was hot, even though I knew it would be hot.

I did not steal this from starlessxlove! HDU think that!!!
