Original Song: Going to Hogwarts (i.e. OMG guys, I got into the Hogwarts Choir!!)
I am pleased to announce I have finally figured out some basic video-editing skills! Here is a cheesy little clip made up mostly of caffeine-fuelled bouncing around my room in front of an iphone (so apologies in advance for the picture quality) and random Infinitus pictures (that's the HP convention 2 years ago in Orlando, Florida where I had the time of my life). And some stuff I pulled off Google Images because this was meant to be just a bit of fun...and then it got complicated...much like all my other relati...never mind...
Anyway, yes yes yes YEEESSSSSSS! I made the final 30 of the Hogwarts Choir! And naturally, I couldn't have done it without any of my voters. I've thanked a few specific people at the end who did truly amazing things to get me votes, but all of you deserve a giant hug!
Stay tuned for our first song! But in the meantime, there's this...
(I know, apart from the boring chord progressions, this song is really out-of-the-ordinary for me. Usually I can only ever write songs when I'm crying my eyes out into my notebook, hence the whole of "Carmina Stellarum" is basically an answer to Adele's album which was entirely about her exes. Anyway, YAY! I finally wrote a HAPPY song!)
LYRICS:
I've been feeling kind of blue
And not in a Ravenclaw way
Found out the TARDIS isn't real*
And all the boys I wanna date are gay**
With assignments and Biomed
Protocols and pathology***
Hanging up above my head
Thought I was going craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!
Must've been the dementors
Cause none of that matters anymore
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Gonna sing in the choir
Gonna set stuff on fire
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Gonna drink Butterbeer
And get some Quidditch gear
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Can't wait to score some O's
And make some mischief in my robes
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
And no-one's gonna stop me
From going where I finally belong!
Been feeling kind of down
As if I'd fallen off my broom
Cause nobody would talk to me****
Stuff Gchat, now I've got a common room!
Must've been the dementors
Cause none of that matters anymore
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Gonna sing in the choir
Gonna set stuff on fire
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Gonna drink Butterbeer
And get some Quidditch gear
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Can't wait to score some O's
And make some mischief in my robes
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
And no-one's gonna stop me
From going where I finally belong!
Got my owl the other day after six months had passed
With the news that the Hogwarts Choir had been chosen at last
Couldn't have done it without you guys, so thanks for voting...thanks for believing in me!!
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Gonna sing in the choir
Gonna set stuff on fire
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Gonna drink Butterbeer
And get some Quidditch gear
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
Can't wait to score some O's
And make some mischief in my robes
Cause I'm going to Hogwarts!
And no-one's gonna stop me
From going where I finally belong!
= the TARDIS in the Doctor Who display in the Sydney QVB is NOT REAL!!!
** = that's Jonathan Groff, btw.
*** = random med school things that drive me up the wall (that and 7am ward rounds...boo!)
**** = everyone's gotten off gchat lately because they're studying or revueing or something more exciting than what I'm getting up to :(
