New layout- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. "...Don't legends always have a basis in fact?" ~Hermione to Professor Binns
Well, I bought the CoS soundtrack today. It's AWESOME. I highly recommend it. The only thing that I thought kind of sucked was that it didn't have any quidditch match songs on it. ^_~ And Rupert Grint has now raised SEVERAL points in my esteem by saying that he thinks that Hermione and Ron would be terrible together, and that he would rather have Ron die than get together with her. While that is not exactly an H/H sentiment, it's close enough to make me tolerate Ron more. Yay Rupert! And that kid is just too adorable. And he's finally taller than Dan! Yay! That makes him even more Ron-ish! Anyway, I just thought I would share. At least I can keep from totally despising Ron until the 5th book comes out. Whether I hate Ron then is entirely up to JK, of course. ^_~ I know, I know, I'm a terrible person. But just because I'm a Gryff, doesn't mean I don't have my... *cough* quirks. And I didn't win the title of Honorary Slyth for nothing, you know... Anyway, on to boring RL. I have to finish a paper tonight. Blech. Stupid papers. And I have to study for a kanji quiz. Still haven't worked on my thesis. >.< *hugs* Love you all! Oh, and for your evening entertainment, check out this site Sans sent me! *cackles*
*Bangs head against the wall repeatedly and shuts ears in the oven door.* I am SICK SICK SICK SICK. And I think I'm having a nervous breakdown. My reputation as a pedo is WELL deserved b/c I've started lusting after Dan Radcliffe. He's THIRTEEN. I am sick! *dies* At least, as Sans points out, I'm not lusting after him *because* he's thirteen. O.o;;; And I haven't done homework all weekend, and I'm finding it difficult to care. I really think I'm starting to go insane. I really wish I could understand the twisted workings of my mind, but I can't. They're beyond me. I don't care, I just want Friday and the CoS premiere to come. Maybe not the best thing for me in my present state, but whatever. Right, so I have to start another week of classes that I'm finding increasingly difficult to make myself go to. I am so fucking burned out on school.
Ok, so maybe descent isn't the right word. I'm really already there. For those of you who don't know, my mom went into the hospital last week for severe chest pain. My mom's health has always been totally fine, so naturally I was freaking out. However, the good news is that it ended up being nothing life threatening. It was an inflammed wall of her chest resulting from a pinched nerve. I'm relieved. Of course, then she turned around and caught the flu. -_- My poor Mom!! My stupid Ben and Jerry's event is OVER. I even found parking for the fucking Winnebago, believe it or not. But it's DONE. Done done done. Laur was an angel and made screen caps of the H/H scene from the 3rd CoS trailer for me. *.* It made my day yesterday. I love you!! *tackles glomps, then runs off to Happy Ship Land* And speaking of CoS, there was an article in the Indy Star about the movies and Richard Harris's possible replacement- which I personally think is in bad taste, and so does The Leaky Cauldron. Why does my state always have to make itself look RETARDED?! Oh right, that's because it IS. -_- I have 2 more papers to write this week (WHY are they alwasy due the same week?! Why can't profs collaborate on things like this?! *cry*), therefore I still probably won't be online much. *sigh* I'll try, though. *hugs* I love all of you guys! Hang in there ok?!
OH MY GOD! *shrieks and jumps around ecstatically in the computer lab while a dozen or so people turn and stare at the psycho* MUWAHAHAHAHA! Finally! Finally, I get my H/H moment! Read THIS!!!!!!! I can't stand it! If the 15th doesn't get here soon, I'm going to die of anticipation... which would suck, because then I wouldn't actually be able to see the long-awaited H/H snuggle. *.* I'm in HMS Pumpkin Pie heaven! Who cares that I got no sleep because I was too busy procrastinating on a paper? Who cares that I have to write another one tonight? I don't! Not when happy beautiful H/H goodness abounds. *.* And speaking of CoS, my roomies and I bought our tix this weekend, for TWO shows in a row! Wheeee! I'm so excited! *.* Ok, I will no longer inflict my insane sleep-deprived genkiness on you poor souls. I will just go and happily wrap myself up in H/H shipland. ^_~
Yes, you read that correctly. It's 4 in the fucking morning (as Katie would say ^_~). I am currently procrastinating the finishing of a paper I have to write for my history class about historical revisionism. -_-;; I found this link on Ger's lj, and he's right- it is addictive! O.o;; And highly amusing. Here are a few of my results:
jen is a badass (*smirk*) *sigh* I suppose I have to go back to my paper now. *pout* Oyasumi (or is it ohayou now? XD) minna! *snugs* I love you! I will try to be online sometime in the next few days. Tomorrow (er, tonight?) is really busy for me, but hopefully Wednesday or something I can chat.
What pisses you off? I have to go w/ S on this one- truer words were never spoken.
Another one from S's page. You're right, I did like this one. Especially the question about which crime you're mostly likely to commit. *cackles*
Muwahahahaha.
I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I always played the town prostitute in drama class? XD
Whee... I can believe this.
Ok, there's a good reason why Mondays usually suck. I'm decided Loki has taken residence on my shoulder today, and is cackling evilly in my ear. -_- NOT amusing. He just WON'T be persuaded to leave. First of all, I woke up with a stomach ache. For no good reason, other than possibly stress. And of course, I woke up later than I meant to as well. Then my roomie drove us all to campus, and what is the last thing they play before I get out of the car? Britney Fucking Spears. And it's not just ANY Britney Fucking Spears, it's "Oops, I Did It Again," widely acknowledged to be one of her very most annoying songs, and one that has the absolute worst tendency to get stuck in your head. All day. Yep, Loki's just laughing his ass of at me. Then, I get an e-mail from some ASSHOLE that I filed a complaint to eBay about b/c his item description was a lie, and therefore we paid $90 for something worth $20, at the most. And of course, he was a total nasty dick in the e-mail. -_- Why me? And believe it or not, but I have 2 days to find on campus parking for a Winnebago. How ridiculous is THAT?! Plus it's gray, and dull, and I was already depressed anyway from a combination of the news about Richard Harris and a bad case of blahs. *sigh* Maybe it will get better? *eyes the evilly smirking Loki on her shoulder.* Or maybe it won't. It's going to be a long day.
By now, I'm sure everyone has heard the tragic news of Richard Harris's death. You can read more about it at The Leaky Cauldron. He was a great actor, for more reasons than the role of Albus Dumbledore. He came from an era of passionate rebels, the classy golden era of Hollywood. My mom loved the man, and thought he was one of the few remaining "greats". She was right. I haven't seen him in anything that I didn't like, nothing where he didn't give the role everything that was in him. He'll be sorely missed. I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been incredibly busy. I will be busy the next few weeks too- I have quite a lot due, and *to* do. I've read a really good book by Clive Barker called Abarat. It's a young adult fantasy, and it's wonderful. Pick up a copy! I love you all, and you're in my thoughts.
Warning: This post is political. I do not mean to insult anyone else's pov, just express my own. Jake's friend Aaron came over for dinner, and we got into a political discussion (gotta LOVE college for that! *.*). Anyway, Aaron is in the Stanley Kubrick film class this semester, and they are studying 2001 this week. During the first scene, you know with the monkeys?, his prof stopped the tape and said "Look! It's like our president. In fact, this whole movie is an analogy to Bush's presidency. A bunch of apes beating each other up, and then a bunch of guys with advanced technology beating each other up. And apparently a monolith is the key to the universe... I want a monolith!" *rotf* I LOVE it! I love college. Only here can you get such cool profs, I swear. Oh, and for your viewing pleasure...Bush or chimp? And speak of the devil (er, Aaron and Jake, not Bush XD), their radio show is on at 10:00 pm on Friday night. If you want to listen and hear some of my crazy friends, you can at Pure Student Radio, the IU radio station webpage. Just hit the link under "Listen to WIUS," and it will come up on your Winamp player! ^_^
I took this love test that Ly posted on her lj. Interesting... and surprisingly accurate. 1. You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. 2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you feel irresistable is straight-forward, just tell you he/she loves you. 3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is stylish. 4. You don't like it when your partner is insecure. 5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your partner is one that you care not only about the present but also the future with your partner, a long-lasting relationship that you can grow with. 6. You can never be stabilized; actually, you are not suitable for marriage and you don't want to make committment. 7. You think of marriage as a precious thing. Once you get married, you'll treasure it and your partner very much. 8. At this moment, you don't have the thirst for love, you can't do anything for it, you won't fall for it easily. I'm not completely sure about number 6... I wouldn't mind having a committment. But certainly not right now, so in that at least it's correct. But I don't know about ever... but the rest of them are dead on. On another note... Oh. my. gods. It's Thursday already! O.o;; When did that happen?!
*Is rotflmao* Take a look at this everyone! Ron in drag! *cackles* Oh my gods, I am laughing so hard I am crying. *Runs off to taunt Ron mercilessly.*
This is what I posted to my friends in our Yahoo club this afternoon (sorry, I'm too lazy to type it all again- cut and paste is the best invention ever): I have 2 papers due this week, an exam in Japanese on Friday, I'm collecting orders for the next 2 weeks for History department tshirts (that I had to design), I have to coordinate the INPIRG table for the Farmer's Market for the next 3 weeks, I'm coordinating this stupid campus Ben and Jerry's tour for promoting global warming awareness, I have a midterm next week, and I'm going out of my mind. I haven't even started serious work on my thesis yet. PLUS I have to write my fucking grad school statement of purpose already and I'm not even applying until after I get back from JET! Which I haven't finished my application for. My profs want that damned statement to write rec letters for me. >.< I don't know what I want to do with my life yet! It's like asking a 7th grader what they want to major in in college. And don't even get me started on my stress about the GRE... *dies* I think for once I've bitten off more than I can chew, and I'm starting to choke. Just thought I'd vent here too. >.< I need a vacation. Anyway, this little quiz thingy was on S's blog, so I thought I'd fill it out too.

Ok, things are looking a leeeeetle better now. I chatted with some of the Tachi, which cheered me up immensely. Nothing like Lucius's Muffins to lift your spirits. XD Although at one point during the convo I had bad mental images of these scary genki children on trains singing songs from The Sound of Music. O.o;; Yikes. And the person who I thought was maybe upset with me isn't. *.* Thank goodness, b/c I was worried. And I feel pretty good about my brother b/c I cast a protection charm for him which makes me feel like at least I've done something. *DIES* And oh lordy, it said on Nick Bantock's website that the last book in the 2nd Griffin and Sabine arc, The Morning Star, isn't due out until September 2003!! Whaaaa! ;_;
*hugs minna* Oyasumi!
This weekend has been a bit surreal. Friday night, Bethany, Jacob, and I took Jimmy out to dinner at D'Jango's Cafe for his birthday. It was a lot of fun, and I really liked the place. I had never been there before. Then I went over to Jimmy's and watched half of The Patriot. I had not seen it before, and I still haven't finished it. >.< Maybe sometime this week... But it was fun, and I hope you enjoyed your b-day, Jimmy! My mom and dad also left for a cruise on Friday- perhaps badly timed, but they deserve the vacation. Saturday I got up criminally early and worked the INPIRG table at the Farmer's Market with Christine for 5 hours (from 7 to noon). It was fun, and I got information about volunteering at a few places I've been wanting to check out, including an exotic cat refuge. *.* I adore big cats. But as I don't have a car, I don't know how I'll get there. Then I came home, only to find a message from my sister that my brother was attacked b/c of this whole Nikki/Brad Fiasco. He now has a black eye, and none of his friends will talk to him. I am extraordinarly angry, and if I had the means (and it's good I don't), I WOULD be doing something about this. But as it's not really my place to interfere, I have to hope that a protection charm will suffice. It's all I can do. Today I got the distinct feeling that someone is angry or upset with me, but unless I find out why, I can't do anything to change the fact. Hopefully, you know who you are, and will please talk to me. If there's anything I've done to hurt you, please let me know. And if there's anything I can do to help you, let me know that too. I love you! And I would die before intentionally hurting you. One final note- chapter 10 of Draco Veritas is out. I have a bad feeling about where it's heading, but it's sort of an intruiging and horrifying addiction to speculation that makes me long to know more. I have my theories. And I would sell my soul to write like Cassie can. And so begins another week filled with the dreaded "meetings" and "appointments", stress over papers and homework that I've put off for too long, and feelings of inadequacy in all areas of my life.
