I can love the whole of you

[exsequar]

I just took the Daemon test (from the Golden Compass movie website) and the result brought tears to my eyes with its perfection. You have to understand - I've read these books 3 or 4 times, and I want nothing more than a daemon. It is the most enchanting idea I have ever come across in a fantasy book, and it really captured my imagination. And if I had a choice, I'd want my daemon to be a beautiful, unconventional wildcat, and one of my first choices would have been an ocelot. LOOK AT WHAT I GOT. And the name Brynn is just far too gorgeous. I am overwhelmed. I would have done the "do your friends agree?" thing but then there was a chance he could CHANGE, and I wasn't going to risk that. So here, my friends, is the other half of my soul. Beautiful, isn't he?

MY ORGO TEST IS DONE YAYE! \o/ He handed out an answer sheet afterwards, and like an idiot I LOOKED at it, and so much of it was different from what I did so I was freaking out a little, but Alyssa was like BREATHE, you know there are many different answers and he gives lots of partial credit, and I was like YES YOU'RE RIGHT I AM CALM. And lo I was! Well, not calm, but happy and bouncy and hyper because I'M DONE YAY! \o/ And a really lovely touch was that afterwards, when I had finished checking out my lab locker, my professor said in a complimentary voice, "Very nice job this semester, Anne." and he was all sincere and kind and I babbled a little about how much I loved the class and people thought I was crazy but I really DID, and I think he was amused and just reiterated his "good job" and it made me feel all warm and glowy. So, YAY. There are few things that make me happier than kind, praising words from a professor. *squirms giddily*

His name is Boreallus. I'm going to call him Aurora, and he will stick out his tongue at me. *grin*

Yes, yes, yes. Mulefas. I was reading something-- I think it was Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything-- talking about evolution and wheels and it mentioned them and I was like WHEEE! But yes. The reason I ask is that "Doomsday" ends almost exactly the same way as The Amber Spyglass does-- with the Doctor and his companion trapped in parallel universes. And it has Dust! Only they call it Void Stuff, and the Doctor sees it with 3-D glasses instead of an amber spyglass. And I bawl like a baby every time I read/see either.

True story: I actually haven't read anything else of Pullman's. And I meant to read the Sally Lockhart books, because Billie Piper, the actress who plays the Doctor's companion, Rose, in "Doomsday," is playing Sally Lockhart, but the first one was checked out of the library and I haven't made the time to go back and find it, and I have so much other stuff to read, and wow, longest sentence EVER.

Yes yes Mulefas! Eee! They're the part of the books that really stick out for me, for some reason. And DUDE! Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything... I LOVE that book! I got it as my present for winning the Chemistry Award my sophomore year in high school, and it was so great! Hilarious AND informative! :D

Oh wow, sounds like someone on the Who staff has read HDM, hee :D

Ooooh they're making a Sally Lockhart movie? I read The Tiger in the Well (that's one of that series, right?) and I remember enjoying it very much. That's so cool that Billie's gonna be playing her! Nifty :D
