As soon as I graduate, I'm getting a tabby named Minerva.
Dava Sobel is visiting my college this week. She's actually a lot cooler than I expected, probably because I generally think of nonfiction writers as stuffy and boring. (Oops.) Anyway, she's speaking in a bunch of my classes, and tonight she gave a lecture. It was a Big Deal, so my creative writing professor cancelled class on the condition that we ( Read more... ) -
Since my last post was full of sad, let's have a HAPPY POST! YAY!
Why is today a good day?
1) Yesterday, my creative writing professor essentially assigned fanfiction. In fact, he used the word at some point. Okay, so it's just an option, and the example he used was writing our own Sherlock Holmes story, but we have to do historical fiction and it came up. It prompted this exchange:
Me: I can't believe he actually ( Read more... ) -
Icon is sort of vaguely appropriate, I guess? Anyway.
I finally finished my adipose! I think he's pretty cute. Plus there's a (very bad) picture of me. Sort of, anyway. And that doesn't happen very often.
(Yes, I posted it about a week ago and forgot to put it here. Oops.)
( This is basically me talking about how everything in my life is full of sunshine at the moment. ) -
I should be reading Oliver Twist.
So here's that thing I was not writing when I posted my last entry: Little House
Also, Mark read Chapter 35 of OotP today and I was very sad. iblamebroadway made it better with tea that was called "Sleepytime Vanilla," which is the best name ever for tea, and amusing gifs. Also, now I am talking to Mark on AIM because I have been trying to work up the guts to do ( Read more... ) -
Junior Year (So Far)
I'm probably not going to be posting a ton this semester. I'll still be around and commenting, because I can't seem to resist clicking on my LJ bookmark, but I have a million and a half things to do already, and it's only my fourth day of classes. I have to read Oliver Twist AND The Odyssey by next week, not to mention several textbook chapters; I ( Read more... ) -
Memes: Days 26-30
I should be packing right now. Instead, I'm finishing the 30 Day Memes.
HARRY POTTER
Day 26: If you could be able to work one spell without a wand what would it be?
Accio.
Day 27: Would you rather own The Invisibility Cloak, The Resurrection Stone or The Elder Wand?
Invisibility Cloak.
Day 28: Do you listen to Wizard Wrock, what do you think about it?
I ( Read more... ) -
Memes: Day 25
Saw a local (very good) production of Hairspray last night with my sister and five theatre friends who all slept over at my house last night. We were up till 5:30 doing everything from discussing Toy Story 3 to raiding the kitchen (and waking up my mother in the process) to dramatic readings of "My Immortal" passages. It was awesome. (It was also ( Read more... ) -
Memes: Day 24 and Another Meme
HARRY POTTER
Day 24: Any particular scene you wished would have been put in the movie but it wasn’t?
The Marauders' story, Peeves, and S.P.E.W. are the things I miss the most, though I was also really disappointed by the lack of most of the important Harry/Ginny scenes in HBP.
DOCTOR WHO
Day 24: Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
I need this.

Memes: Days 17-19
I wrote something today (and actually finished it, which is unusual for me, even if it is super short). I think it's Buffy fanfic. (Is it weird that I'm not sure?) I shall ask my roommate what she thinks. Then maaaaybe I'll post it.
HARRY POTTER
Day 21: Out of all the characters that died, if you could bring one back, who would it be?
This is a weird ( Read more... ) -
D: D: D:
Earlier today, I was trying to explain to my brother (age 7) why I'm not sure he should read HBP and DH yet (he's on OotP and handled GoF pretty well, but he's even more prone to anxiety and preoccupied with death than I was). I told him they're really scary and really sad. He asked why; I channeled River Song and told him "Spoilers!" as usual. But ( Read more... )
