book lovers never go to bed alone

secondlina:

I’ve been wanting to draw a few things about Lolitas lately, as in the Japanese fashion trend, not the novel. It’s a fashion trend I adore, because it’s basically like small pockets of history, walking around, inspired by Rococo and Victorian fashion and design.

I wanted to draw two posters, one showing the different types of Lolitas, and the other showing the proper layering required to achieve the Lolita look. So far, i’ve only done the “type” one, but it’s a good start!

Technically, only 4 “types” are actual types, the others are more like themes. The main 4 types are classic, punk, gothic and sweet.

I never had the courage to dress up as a lolita myself, but I love looking at all the magazines…

Check out the Wiki for more general details. And lolitafashion.org

Bigger version on deviant art.

this is just an adorable collection of Lolita dress variety!

I automatically assume people won't like me, so I don't talk to them unless they approach me first. I can't become a part of a crowd because I can't get past that feeling that I don't belong.

He also:

told Neville to stand up to people

confronted a full-sized mountain troll to save a girl he couldn’t stand

said it didn’t matter whether someone was a pureblood, half-blood, or Muggle-born

gave Dobby his sweater

faced a bunch of giant spiders in the hopes of saving the school and clearing Hagrid’s name

told Luna he loved her Quidditch commentary, and very sincerely tried to convince her he wasn’t teasing her

stood up on a broken leg, trying to protect Harry

gave up his grudge against Hermione the moment he learned how much she, Hagrid, and Buckbeak needed him

realized he was wrong about Harry putting his name in the Goblet of Fire, and promptly went to apologize

jumped into a freezing pond to save Harry and retrieve the Sword of Gryffindor

confronted his best friend to prevent his sister’s heart being broken any further than it already was

begged Bellatrix to torture him in place of Hermione

couldn’t break up with a girl who drove him nuts because he didn’t want to hurt her feelings

remembered the Hogwarts House Elves when no one else did, and wanted to make them evacuate, rather than order them to fight

tried to go back to Harry and Hermione as soon as he left them

didn’t make excuses for leaving, he came right out and admitted he had been wrong

didn’t get angry at Hermione for taking a long time to forgive him

saved Tonks’s life (while impersonating Harry to lower Harry’s chances of being killed, at the same time increasing his own)

told Hermione not to curse Draco, even though he hates him

In conclusion, Ron is awesome. The end.

An 87 Year Old College Student Named Rose

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know.
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me
with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.

“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.

She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.We became instant friends. Every day for the
next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this “time machine”
as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and
she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was
introduced and stepped up to the podium.

As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell
you what I know.”

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop
playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day.

You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!There is a huge difference between growing
older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those
with regrets.”

She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose.”

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died
peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s
never too late to be all you can possibly be .When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they’ll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS
OPTIONAL.

We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.
