Darn those magic cupcakes there getting every where lots of people are getting powers by them, sorry to say you have SPCD (Silly Power Cupcake Disease)

"Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity... Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."" - runlikehell
[Like I said, I LOVE the quote at the end!]
2: "Coolioz (sp? Coolioez), I got 2 in a row for number one. Shall I try for a tic tac? As in tic tac toe, not the mints, because they make me pass out. (sorry, ADHD kicking in). As inthree in a row? No? Anybody? Okay, moving on. To start a petition, methinks you go to word as click on the petiony button. If they have one. Which they probably don't. But I do. Cuz I'm cool like that. So you say, "I would like to start a petition in support of Theresa (who, by the way, is grounded) and her amazingly cool converse" and then the give you a petition. Or a breathalizer. I don't really know who "they" are, but "they" might be that crazy old lady I saw speeding down the road (the cops were not far behind) in an old, beat up pickup truck that happened to have the big boy statue in the back, swaying with the 9am breeze. Or maybe not. "They" are probably a homicidal Westley, lived with rage and driven by your own insanity, here to be your eternal punishment for killing Shay's body. Though he would probably just kill you...except you had HIM kill Shay. Now he'll leave and crawl back to the hellhole ( aka jail) he came from, completely and utterly confused. As am I. And probably you. And I'm willing to bet my money on the fact that anyone reading this is hopelessly
lost also. I'm just gonna stop now...

They Say Love Hides Behind Every Corner. I Must Be Walking in Circles
Chapter 26
I must admit, it was very tempting to just hit the END button to my cell phone and be done with it, since I really did not want to talk to Forrest at the moment. But that would have been very childish, and more importantly, Jasmine would have just called him back and told him the whole story or something. She, surprisingly enough, didn’t approve of this whole dating Finn but loving Forrest thing. I thought this was very hypocritical of her, because I can assure you if Damien were to suddenly declare his undying love for Jasmine, with the condition that he would still stay with Bianca, Jasmine would happily agree to be his secret lover. But I digress.
So with a sigh, I hit the answer button instead, and greeted him with a grumbling, “Hey.”
“Not in a good mood right now or something?” he asked me, seeming a bit concerned. Damn it! Must they both be so damn nice?
“You could say that,” I hedged, and stuck my tongue out at Jasmine, who was currently giving me the evil eye.
“Hmm,” he responded, and for a bit, it was just silent. It wasn’t really a good silence. It was more of an awkward silence, and I could tell he wanted to say something but for some reason, he was procrastinating. “Okay, I’m just going to come right out and say this before I explode or something,” he finally began again, annoyance evident in his tone. “Paul saw you and Finn kissing. What the hell, Shay?”
I sighed and groaned internally. Damn. I mean, I knew this was going to happen, but still, that didn’t mean I liked it. “Yeah.”
I really couldn’t think of anything else to say. What was there to say? I couldn’t process anything right now, anyways.
“Really, Shay? That’s all you’re gonna say?” He was getting really annoyed now.
“Well, what do you want me to say? Do you want me to deny it? You want me to lie?” If he was going to be that way, I had no reason to remain cordial.
“No, Shay,” he replied, sighing in frustration, “all I want is for you to explain to me.”
“Explain what to you?”
“Oh, gee, I don’t know, maybe why you were kissing Finn when just an hour ago, you had been kissing me?” he responded sarcastically.
I narrowed my eyes, even thought he couldn’t see it. “So what? You’re calling me a slut?”
He sighed again, this time less callously. “No, Shay. I just… I just want to know what’s going on. What’s going on with you and Finn, and more importantly, what’s going on with us?”
“Well, I’m technically dating Finn, to answer your first question,” I said, thinking about what would be good to say as an answer for his second question. What was going on with us?
“But why?”
“Why?” I was sort of confused. “I’ve been dating him for a bit now. And you know why.”
“Yeah, but why haven’t you dumped him yet?” he asked, sounding impatient and… hurt.
“Forrest,” I said with a long sigh, “I don’t think this conversation is best had over the phone.”
Me neither, but it’s now or never,” he told me, “and I prefer now.”
I groaned internally once more. He was so pushy, I swear. “Fine.”
“Well?” he prodded, and I could just hear the annoyance in his tone.
“Well, what?” I asked innocently, trying my best to avoid the question. If one more person asked me this after Forrest, I would honestly punch the crap out of them.
“Why haven’t you dumped him yet?”
“I… I can’t dump him,” I replied uncomfortably, crossing my fingers in hope; hope that Forrest wouldn’t get so mad at me that he would, in turn, dump me. This little love triangle was going to end very bad for me; I could just feel it. But what could I do? “Not yet, I mean. Not yet.”
“Then when?” Oh, he was definitely sounding impatient and pissed off by now.
“I’m not sure,” I answered honestly. I really didn’t know. “I promise you, Forrest, I have a good reason for doing so.”
“If you say that you’re in love with Finn, I’m hanging up,” Forrest told me, half-seriously and half-jokingly.
“No, it’s not that,” I assured him, shaking my head, even thought he couldn’t see me. “But I promise I’ll do it. Just not now.”
He groaned loudly. “Ugh. You’re just lucky I’m too in love with you to get mad.”
I sighed in relief. “Thanks, seriously, for understanding. I mean everything I said. And you know that you’re the one that I want.”
“Please don’t start singing the Grease song,” Forrest groaned, laughing a little now.
Actually, I hadn’t been planning on singing it, but now that he mentioned it, it was very tempting. And I’m no good at resisting temptation, so, of course, I sang. Badly, I may add, but I digress. “You’re the one that I want! Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey! The one that I want! Ooh, ooh, ooh, honest! The one that I want! Ooh, ooh, ooh. The one I need… oh, yes, indeed!”
“Shay!” Forrest whined, most likely trying to get the receiver away from his ear at that point.
“I’ll give you a choice,” I proposed, sitting Indian style on Jasmine’s bed. “You and Paul come over and watch some scary movies with me, Jasmine and Maddie, and you will never hear that song coming from my lips ever again.”
“Ever again?” he prodded, and I smiled, since he was seriously considering the idea.
“Never again will you hear it,” I assured him with a grin.
“Deal,” he agreed, and then said, “I’ll see you in a sec. You’re at Jasmine’s, right?”
“Yep,” I replied, and without waiting for him to respond, I screamed, “Bye, lover!” and hung up.
“You’re so weird,” Jasmine noted, shaking her head at me.
“Bite me.”

“Oh, my God, he ate him!” Maddie screamed, latching onto Paul as if for dear life. “He ate him!”
“Shh, Maddie, it’s alright,” Paul soothed, putting his arms around Maddie smoothly and gently, calming her down. “It’s just a movie.”
Maddie was about to protest, I was sure, but then she noticed the close proximity between Paul and her and shut her mouth. Smart girl. I could see the goofy, dreamy grin plastered on her face even though Paul’s shoulder was blocking my view.
The movie was definitely more creepy and gross than scary, but my stomach was weak so I will admit I had to hold onto Forrest at several parts. Not that he minded, of course. He loved actually being the macho person for once. All guys did.
The movie got to a particularly grotesque part all of a sudden, and no one had been expecting it, so we all screamed and latched onto the person next to us. Forrest and I held on to each other tightly, Maddie and Paul did, as well, (though I think they may have just been groping each other) and Jasmine held onto my leg.
“Forrest, you turd, you’re supposed to be comforting me!” I complained into his chest.
“Oh, come on, that part was gross,” he said in his defense, pointing to the now blank screen. Jasmine must have freaked out and turned off the television.
“Whatever. You’re still the man here,” I teased, and had to stifle my laughter when I saw the look on his face.
“I have different ways of showing you my manliness, you know,” he told me, his voice growing huskier and sexier. Sigh.
“You can’t show what you don’t have,” I quipped, giggling in delight when he frowned.
“Oh, really?” And with that, I was pinned on the couch and he was kissing me like there was no tomorrow. Not like I minded, of course.
“Oh, you guys!” Jasmine complained, but after a second, she changed her mind and said, “Aww!”
I don’t even know where Maddie and Paul went, but if they had the same idea as Forrest and I, they might have been in Paul’s bedroom or the other couch if they couldn’t make it to the bedroom in time.
I was right back then to have wanted a boyfriend, because without one, things like this weren’t possible. Well, since Forrest technically wasn’t even my boyfriend, it sort of was, but this was different. I mean, I loved the guy, so I was okay with this.
But I was wrong to have wanted just any old guy. The real thing was much better than anything I ever had with Westley, or even Finn. But I definitely liked Finn loads better than Westley, but I liked him more as a friend.
The kissing got more intense, if that was even possible, and I nearly slapped myself. I had been missing out on this? Damn myself.
I didn’t want to let go, ever, but then, of course, my stupid freaking cell phone just had to ruin everything. “No!” I wailed dramatically. This was just like in the movies. “Why must this always happen? It’s so cliché!”
He groaned, as well, but rolled off of me to allow me to answer it.
Grumbling, I hit the answer button and said, “Hello?”
“Why, hello, Serena. Wait. Or should I call you Shay?” a voice drawled over the phone and I immediately froze.
Forrest looked over at me in curiosity. I just shook my head and grinned, mouthing ‘mom’ to him. I casually got off the couch.
“What did you just say?” I asked incredulously to the stranger.
“I think you heard me. Shay.” The voice was a girl’s voice, but it was unfamiliar.
But whoever they were, they knew my secret.
Someone knew my secret. This could not be good.
