I love Shoebox!Remus and Sirius so much it makes my heart actually hurt. I just read the famous chapter 23 and a bit of 24 and I'm just flailing about. Puppies! Ohmyheart.

And now I'm going to get five hours of sleep. *facepalm*

NEW SHOEBOX OMG

*flails and dies*

It was so, so good guys. Really. SO GOOD. My favorite parts of Shoebox are the letter writing, and this chapter did not disappoint ONE BIT.

"I would tell you more but Dumbledore would have to kill me with his beard."

So go READ IT! [livejournal.com profile] shoebox_project

In other happy news, my professor read my introduction for my paper (he couldn't see the graphs and results portion, because Word is the big suck) and said it was, and I quote, "excellent." This is extremely welcome and motivating news because that was by far the most stressful and labor intensive portion of the whole thing. So, yay.

I heart Emma Watson. She loves Roald Dahl and His Dark Materials! *Squishes her to chest* Also, I love how she's got her braces in so she won't smile fully, it's adorable.

I'm watching the GoF extras, right now the trio interview, which is actually really good! I like the interviewer (no talking head, AWESOME) and the contest winners are asking good questions.

You can totally tell how good friends Dan and Emma are, it's so sweet :)

Meet the champions was great too, I heart Robert! :D:D

Look! Icon! Twirly Hermione! :D

Harry Fummer and the Desperate House Dons!

HEEE.

I just got back from the annual spoof written and put on by the faculty of my college. This year they spoofed Harry Potter! The main reason is because this is our first year with a house system, quite similar to Hogwarts (without the magical sorting) so they were making fun of our system and how shaky it is so far, lol. My school is called Franklin & Marshall, or F&M, and the students are "Fummers", hence the name.

Things I found particularly notable:

  • Snape hitting on Hermione!
  • RON. He was just brilliant. So youthful and silly and awesome,
  • How I can still manage to watch through Harry/Hermione goggles. GOSH.
  • This exchange: (After the plot has been nicely tied up in a coincidental bow) Ron: "Man, what a plot!" Hermione (in a 'don't look at me!' manner): "Well I didn't write it."
  • The adorable little kids that were in it! Awwwww!
  • All the songs! It was all showtunes with rewritten lyrics. For example, Seasons of Fum! Aaaand the Sound of Music will kill Moldymort! LMAO.
  • Dancing Duh Mentors!
  • Don McGonagall shedding her robes to reveal Glinda's dress!
  • Everything!

    It was seriously so funny and priceless. First time I've really felt a part of this school, you know? Because I understood all the things they were poking fun at, and was able to laugh with everyone, and it just felt good :)

    Yay for F&M!

    My Browncoat tshirt arrived!!! I'm wearing it now, and it's a tad big (it's a good thing I got a medium and not a large!!) but I still adore it. Sean saw me in it and called me a huge dork. Know what I say? THANK YOU. :D I am proud of my dorkness. It's just so FUN. Then Nikki said "I don't get it" and I just smiled and said she wasn't supposed to. Because it is, a little inside joke! I love it.

    Last night I saw Sirius (the star) through a bigass telescope, and it was PURPLE and SPARKLY. I kid you not, that thing SPARKLED. clearly the celestial bodies support slash. I also saw Saturn, and you can so clearly see its shape, it's awesome.

    Ummmmm let's see what else. I cant stay long cause I'm catching a bus in 15 minutes and I don't want to miss it. I'm terrified because I've never taken a public bus by myself before, so I'm really scared I'll get lost. Yikes. cross your fingers for me!!

    Okay this was a random and pointless post, but you all love me anyway *huggles*

    Icon post! LIMS entries: HP, VM, Firefly, QaF, SN

    So I've been participating in a whole bunch of icons LIMS contests. If you don't know what that means, it stands for Last Icon Maker Standing. You get a challenge cap, make an icon, and then the voting goes up. The catch is that you vote for the WORST icons. Each week, the icons that get the most votes get eliminated. So slowly the playing field is whittled down, until there's one icon maker standing! Most of these contests are still going on, but the icons are piling up and I thought I'd post some of them now. :)

    [9] Firefly ([livejournal.com profile] makingthe_cut and [livejournal.com profile] firefly_lims)
    [7] Veronica Mars ([livejournal.com profile] fandom_lims)
    [6] Harry Potter ([livejournal.com profile] hp_lims)
    [2] Queer as Folk ([livejournal.com profile] bj_icontest)
    [2] Supernatural ([livejournal.com profile] super_icontest)

    RULES
  • DO NOT HOTLINK
  • Comments are very much loved
  • Credit is REQUIRED. In the keywords or comments for the icon
  • Do not customize icons

    I saw Rent again! Yay!

    Very, very strangely, I did not cry. I teared up, during the saddest parts, but I didn't cry. I kept waiting for it to come, and it just wouldn't! Meanwhile, Sara was shaking, she was crying so hard. I felt it through the seat. And she just saw it yesterday! I have no idea... it was sooo weird. My theory is that, this time I was with Sara and Michelle, so we had been joking around for a while, so I was in a very upbeat mood. When I saw it the first time, I was alone, I had just walked half an hour in the cold, and was feeling very introspective and thoughtful. So I was very vulnerable and open to the emotional effects of it.

    Nevertheless, I loved it again, of course! :)

    In really great news, Brokeback Mountain averaged $38,000 per theater yesterday!! How ridiculously amazing is that? I'm SO excited for this movie. So so excited.

    In bad news, my photoshop randomly stopped working. When I try to open it, the window opens and it loads and everything, but then once it's done the window just disappears. Imageready works,but when I try to move an image to Photoshop, it says could not do this because Photoshop is not responding. Argh. So I'm trying to download another PS with a torrent. But if anybody has any idea what's wrong, could you help?

    I'm watching the first Harry Potter, and it's so cute. I am such a total and complete HHr shipper now, it's ridiculous. I pay attention to them without even meaning to.

    I just have to say that I'm a little bit O.o with everyone asking other people to sort them, for two reasons.

    1) I do not know people on my flist that well. I read my flist as one big thing, not peoples' individual journals, so it's really hard to get a sense of peoples' personalities just through that medium.

    2) The categories themselves are so weird and limited. And cliched. Obviously you're not going to call someone evil, unless you really hate them, so Slytherin isn't much of an option. Gryffindor is "brave" people... how often do you get to see if someone's brave or not? Especially when you're experiencing them through the filter of LJ, where THEY decide what they post, and moments of bravery or cowardice in every day life just might not make it into a post. And then there's Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw... hard workers and smart people. Those are easier, but they're also extremely limited categories. This whole notion of sorting people into such narrowly defined categories seems odd to me, and pointless without the magical insight that the Sorting Hat has. It's fun, I suppose, to see what other people would put you in, but I just don't think it's an... accurate assessment of anything at all.

    Total GIP. One of the best O RLY? icons I've seen, and there's a buttload out there :P

    I randomly had a really fun night last night!

    First I got out of class within half an hour, which was LOVELY.

    Then I watched Veronica Mars 2x05 with [livejournal.com profile] zeispunim and [livejournal.com profile] accio_tiara... yay! It had been so long we had like forgotten what had happened, haha. I really love this show, I missed it! And the torrent for 2x06 is downloading now, YAY. Which is exciting because before it wasn't working. Woohoo! *boogies*

    Thennnnn... I did a little bit of homework, and at 11:30 Sean called my cell and asked if he could come over and look at one of my lab reports cause he was having some trouble. So he did, and he ended up staying til 2 AM! *squee* We talked about mostly school and his girlfriend, but it was really fun. Oh and Harry Potter! I basically told him the whole plot of Book 6 so he doesn't have to buy it himself, haha. It just amazes me how he puts up with my fangirliness, it's quite incredibly awesome. Just being with him makes me *happy* and who doesn't like being happy?

    To make things even MORE fun, my lover [livejournal.com profile] candlesandcloth was online so I was talking to her at the same time, and Sean had a suspicion that she was actually a sexual predator, so I had her turn on her webcam and show him that she's actually just completely adorable! So he talked to her through me and it was very amusing and lots of fun. I enjoyed it greatly.

    Then I dreamt about Sean. Which means I'm completely smitten. But I'm OKAY with just friends because he is an amazing friend. Yay for finding amazing friends.

    The end!

    GoF thoughts

    Before I read any more GoF reviews, I want to get down my own thoughts so they are uninfluenced.

    Dragons really don't like shingles! )

    So, to sum up: it's a good movie, exciting and all that, but I far prefer the gritty emotional realism of PoA.

    I just got this week's Entertainment Weekly, with DAN on the cover! And I flipped right to the Harry Potter article to see if there were any amazing pictures, and OMG. The first page is a GORGEOUS picture of the trio! It's soooooo beautiful!!! Even Rupert's looking quite handsome. Eeeee, I love it.

    Emma Watson revealed her fantastic music and movie interests in a response to the following question in a recent interview with "ElleGirl" Magazine: If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    She said, "I love 'Roxanne' from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Or maybe an Alanis Morissette song...'Messy' or 'Ironic' - one of those classics."


    EEEEEE! Roxanne is like, my favorite song EVER! I love you Emma!!!!

    Supernatural!

    Eeeee! I'm watching Supernatural (thoughts on that in a bit) and I just saw one of the GoF trailers!! One of my favorites too, the one where Hermione says "Everything's going to change now, isn't it" at the end. Eee! I knew it like, word for word :D I'm such a loser. But it was awesome! I saw a different one earlier in the show too, one of the new ones, the one with Moaning Myrtle. Hee. I'm sooooooooo excited for this movie!

    In other news, Jared Padalecki is hot.

    In more related news, Jared Padalecki is getting the crap beaten out of him!

    Furthermore, I really like this show! It's like a mix between X-Files, Buffy, and charmed. It feels more like X-files (with the whole partners investigating things, especially with the one being snarky and the other being levelheaded and brilliant) but they actually see concrete things and are positive about the existence of Supernatural stuff. Er, hence the name of the show. (Oooo, Jarhead trailer!) So it's like Buffy and charmed. But then there's the whole two really hot guys thing, and how they just go really well together, and the potential for slashy incest is ASTOUNDING. Seriously. I need to STOP getting into new fandoms, because I just don't have the time! First Veronica Mars, now this. I mean really. I was supposed to be reading my Genetic Testing textbook, which I have an exam on tomorrow, and/or studying for my calc quiz tomorrow morning! *Facepalm* But, I really enjoyed it, so hey. It was worth it :P

    In even more news, One Tree Hill looks like a really dumb show. So does Related. And I already knew that 7th Heaven was puketastic. Oy.

    ETA: Question - why is Supernatural on both Tuesdays and Sundays? Is it the same episode on both days? cause that would be neat.

    13 new GoF clips!!

    1) That's ridiculous. It really seems like we're going to see the whole movie before it ever comes out!
    2) None of them are working for me, but someone at [livejournal.com profile] harryhermione kindly uploaded the Harry/Hermione on the bridge scene ("I'm scared for you") and WOW. *dies a happy shipper death* There's giggling about sexual innuendos, there's affectionate gazing, there's lots and lots of concern on Hermione's part, ETA: and there's jealousy!! Dan is totally jealous of Krum. It's absolutely adorable.
    -Randomly, Emma in this scene reminds me of Jena Malone. I'm not sure why, just her facial expressions and stuff. I think Emma has grown up into a fine actress, while Dan's still a little stiff... oh well! I will continue to adore my not-quite-canon Hermione, thank you very much :D
    3) Ummm. I don't really have a three. Well, I guess on a completely unrelated note, today was not a particularly good day. I had a little while where I was feeling as down as I did for parts of junior year, and that's bad. But I got pulled out of it. I'm just afraid that this signals the start of a slide back into isolation and depression. I really hope not.
