Our First VLOG Baby

Dear Potter Fanatics that scare me sometimes,

CONGRATULATIONS! Your new child is a VLOG!!

Sarah and I would like to announce that we have finally successfully uploaded a video.

Part 1

Geez this takes forever....loading this video is a total pain. Your guys better thank me for wasting my time doing this. OK well this is hardly wasting my time, I wasn't doing anything to begin with. La la la la la.

Part2

This is life?

Dear Readers (Pst are there any readers out there?),

I have been feeling very self analytical today. I have decided that I am not worthy of being a Potter Sister, mostly because my knowledge of Harry Potter seems very small compared to Sarah's infinite wisdom of all things wizardly and Harry Pottery....yes pottery... it makes sense so shut up.
Any way that's me being lame.
Now to me being normal. So Sarah will not have a cool blog of me and her from today to post, whenever she does post it.
Why?
Well because I didn't go to church tonight. I can't find any joy outside of my friends in that church anymore. After growing up at my church and knowing how good it used to be, it just kind of makes me hate what it's become. Which leads to a dislike of the people who help get it to where it is now. My church used to be based wholly in spirituality, which detracted a bit from our numbers because it kind of exposed the people playing the church game. For a good while the fog of humanity had been lifted. Then we got a new pastor, who is extremely good in his Texas ways, who has made our church into a face. The youth group is now a face. That's thanks to our Georgian youth pastor with the same ideals as our pastor. Now it's wonderful that we have so many people to share the word of God with, but it's at the expense of our spirituality. Everything is so distracting now. People are so separated into little groups, I feel like I don't know half the people I grew up with and introduced into the church anymore. My loving society is crumbling. My haven from the world is turning into the very world I am hiding from.
I just want to know, when will it stop?

Love, Kara

Apologies from Sarah Potter

I am so very sorry everyone!!!! We're trying to get the videos up, but I have not been at home to be able to do this for the past four nights. I'm up at my grandparents because one of my grandparents is in Russia right now, and Nan doesn't want to stay alone without him. So I have been with her, being a good granddaughter, for the past four nights (Right now I'm hearing, "SARAH! It's 8:15! You need to come eat and clean up your blankets on the couch! ....). I'm really ready to get home, and actually update this with a real vlog. I think I'm just going to upload the vlogs to Youtube or something, because that seems to be my only option now. *sigh*
Anyway, let's see what we can update you on as far as Potter goes;
The Half Blood Prince trailer is no where to be seen. I'm glad I didn't waste my money to go see Narnia, because it didn't get released with it. If we don't see a trailer soon, I'll cry. For real. WHY WHY WHY does Twilight have a teaser trailer out before Harry Potter? I love Twilight, don't get me wrong, but Harry Potter is better.
PotterCast 151: Spontanious Combustion is fantastic. I'm getting a dreadful feeling though that since 152 hasn't been released, the live podcast on Friday is taking it's place.
On Friday, a live podcast is being recorded in Florida where Melissa and John are. Natalia Tena, Oliver Phelps, Stanislav Ianevski, and Devin Murray are all going to be on the show. (That's Tonks, George Weasley, Viktor Krum, and Seasmus Finnigan for those who didn't know). I'm really really excited about Natalia and Oliver the most , because I love love love Natalia Tena and I have a slight fangirl obsession with James and Oliver Phelps (I'm sad James isn't going to be there. . . )
I don't think there's much other than that. I don't feel like covering the trial right now, because I don't have time. I'll do that when I can sit here for awhile.

I think Kara and I are going to *try* and make a vlog tomorrow night when I see her, so that'll be potentially guest starring Chelsea, Morgan, Ada, and Lori, just depends on who's around when we do it. If not, I am definitely making one tonight by myself to upload and be up soon. I'm so very sorry for making you guys wait like this, but they ARE coming. We just happen to be VERY un-tech savvy....*sigh*

Sarah Potter

Potter Sister Kara's first blog baby (:

Dear Sweet and loving readers,

I am Kara the other half of this amayzing (this is the way I like to spell amazing so shut up) Potter Sister duo. I look like this.....
I know I'm so hott right :P.
Any way like Sarah said we are doing these lovely vloggy bloggies to entertain ourselves, but what she didn't mention is that we also plan on becoming FAMOUS! from them. I mean really how could we not be famous from this? Just wait till you see our vlogs, they will be good.
I'm hoping I can attempt to upload them onto here from my own computer on Friday when I have access to a computer with flash player. Till then you will just have to suffer.

I suppose I should give myself an introduction.
I am Kara. I am a rising senior and going on 17, and I still can not drive. Curse you laws and permit tests. I'm not fond of sore throats because I'm an actress and a singer and having my voice usually means good things for me. I just finished my last play of this school year. It's called The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (abridged) and it is the funniest thing since sliced bread...yeah. It was my advanced drama class's play which we have been working on all semester and we raise over 2,400 dollars in two nights for our schools drama department. We are amayzing. I hope to attend Dartmouth in a year or so for college and major in psychology and photography and minor in creative writing and musical theater. My past time hobby is writing lyrics and thinking up great ideas for books that I will sadly never have the gumption to write. I have no interest in dating (at the moment) so I am single (plan on staying that way, not that I can help it) and loving it. I am a collector of movies. I love movies any movies. I am also a very awesome critic of movies, so I guess my personality and quirks just go hand in hand...imagine that.
Well love love my turtle doves.
I shall leave you with a silly-serious random quote of Ralph Waldo Emerson's.
"Conformity or habit or something (not actual quote I just forgot the first word) is the hob-goblin of little minds."

Sweet sleep.

Update 1 - Sarah Potter

Okay, so this blog is already making me mad.

I have a vlog ready to upload that I made the other night, and it's being totally stupid and not uploading. I left this window up for over 12 hours yesterday and it never uploaded, which was horrible. It's quite an accomplishment to keep a single window open 12 hours when I have younger siblings trying to play on here all day.

So eventually, we'll find a better way to upload vlogs. For now, bear with me.

I can give you a BLOG update though, because I have Harry Potter news. YESSS.
Basically I'm excited. The Half Blood Prince trailer is [supposedly] coming out with Narnia on Friday. I am willing to pay $7 to see that commercial in big screen. I'm thinking about trying to pull a group together to go see it, Potter fans or not.
The new PotterCast was great. I listened to it in the car today and got strange looks because I laughed out loud at certain things. It was pretty fantastic. I really benefitted from their discussion of the horrid Tim Wu article. I was going to post about that last week on my own blog, but never got time to sit down and do it. I made me so mad, seriously. And I felt so bad for Melissa, and just everyone involved. I'm sick of this point in the fandom where everyone is turning on everyone and people from the outside are causing problems like this. *GROAN*

Updates on the Potter Sisters; Kara had a play last night and tonight, but I was unable to go unfortunately. So she's been busy. . .I have a dance recital (my last one ever. yesss) coming up Sunday, so I'm prepping for that. We'll be seeing each other tomorrow, so perhaps we can make a vlog while hiding out at church and we'll find a way to post it.

If anyone knows an easier way to upload videos, please let me know asap. Thanks (:

Until next update,

Sarah Potter

Welcome to our vloggy blog

Hi! Sarah updating for our intro here. I'm sure Kara will post something later.
As it says in our about me, we are Kara and Sarah, aka the Potter Sisters.
This is us;

I have shorter hair now, but that's okay. So I look something more like this now!

But anyway, that's not the point.

We decided the other day to start this blog/vlog for our exciting needs in life. We're both pretty interesting we think, so we wanted a way to just share that with everyone. We'll be blogging and vlogging on this together, alternating posts, to keep it interesting. We'll also try to keep many vlogs on here, because we recently discovered we both have a love for vlogging.
Maybe every now and again we'll stumble onto something informationally substantial, but mostly it'll probably be random talk from us. I know personally, I'll be giving you a lot of Harry Potter, because I'm pretty into that stuff. Here's just a little history on how Kara and I met;

Kara and our group of friends (Lori, Chelsea, Morgan, Ada) are all in a youth group together. They basically saved me from a dark period in my life when I joined this church and knew no one. They've done a lot for me, and I love them a lot. So Kara and I had a little bonding time, just as, this weekend, since our friendship is only a few months old (I feel like I've known them all my life though), and decided to start this whole Potter Sisters thing.

I'll do a quick just intro to me, and Kara can do hers when she posts later.

So I'm Sarah, the Gryffindor of the Potter Sisters. I'm a rising Junior, going on 16. I'm homeschooled, and I won't take any crap about that. I really like not having knee pains, because mine are ruined. I used to be a competition dancer, and I'm paying the price now. Instead of dance now, I'm getting more into drama, especially musical theater. I'm thinking that's the career path I want to take (Drama therapy! woot woot). I'm the large portion of the Potter in this duo, even though Kara is a fan too. I eat, sleep, and breathe everything Harry Potter; it's kind of sad. I am a big fan of PotterCast, I think they are pretty awesome. I have a pretty strange sense of humor, so I'll just apologize for that right now. Basically, just mesh together Nymphadora Tonks, Alice Cullen, and Lorelai Gilmore and you have my personality. It's grand. (:

Alright well, I think that's a suitable intro for us. We're looking forward to updating this, although we know probably no one will see it. We're pretty easily amused though, so we'll post for ourselves if no one cares ;)

Until next time, keep twidling those dials.

- Sarah Potter.
