Woah… I’m not sure what made me decide to do it, but I’ve joined the HPRP at sane_potter. I wanted to be Hermoine or Padma, but they were both taken. I thought that being one of the undeveloped Ravenclaws might be fun, but I can’t find any references to them in the books other than when they’re sorted. So, since I’m such a Francophile, I settled on Fleur ( Read more... )

Why can't Americans make good chocolate? I mean, even a plain chocolate bar from Hershey's Canada is better than the American alternative. My friend gave me a box of Kinder Surprise eggs for Christmas, which is much better than anything else you could get for that price. The chocolate actually melts in your mouth!

I actually wouldn't have minded going in just this once. Regardless of ( Read more... )

I just wrapped tissue paper around my childhood and put it in a box. In fact, it's in the garage now, waiting to go sit in the attic until I'm old and need to realize the years of my life that I'll remember as happy ( Read more... )

I owned my IB Oral. I thought it was going to be the individual oral, so I was a nervous wreck all day long. I was all shakey and I spent all of 7th practicing. So when I show up with a prepared speech (as did Ben) we find out it's the flippin' group oral! So basically we just had to take continually or listen to Mme. Abed talk for half an hour ( Read more... )
