I think the caffeine thing is commendable. I've been off it for a while and much prefer myself without it. Fizzy drinks are the same. It's scary how things I never even contemplated can affect myself.
That's right, you're trying to quite caffeine, aren't you? Good luck with that. :) My avoidance of them is really no big deal because I never got onto them. I didn't like "the fizz" in soft drinks as a child, so I always refused pop. I already explained the coffee thing a little. Basically, when I was in high school Mom and I frequently had a conversation that went something like this:
Me: "Ugh, Coffee. It smells good but it's so gross. How can you drink it?" Mom: "I started drinking it in college when I had to stay up late writing papers and studying for tests. I'm sure you'll pick up the coffee habit in college too." Me: "No I won't." Mom:
So I resolved not to, and I haven't. I think she's right that I'm a bit too fanatical about independence at times. I mean, it's good for me to not have the coffee habit, but the fact that I avoided it simply to spite my mother isn't all that healthy.
Love the thoughts on OotP. very insightful, i thought. (and hey anything that supports h/hr is good for me...) ;-) you're right about the eye contact, i always like that too, along with all the moments that show how harry and hermione are on the same wavelength. they seem to have lots of private conversations with eyes, smiles and words even when they're with ron. ;-) makes for a nice potential relationship there... :-D
Thanks sweetie! I'm glad you enjoyed my pumpkiny ramblings. I'm not sure if I should be glad that I'm insightful about them at 3 am (because it might encourage me to spend more sleepless nights philosophizing about them), but I suppose anything that supports my ship should be taken as a good thing, right? *shrugs and hugs you back*

This is an odd habit; I don't know how I feel about it. I just wanted to point out that I'd fixed a typo in one of the quotes (I know; I'm wayyyy too anal) and that I'd added a link to the interesting Portkey discussion of character proximity in the series. I've also now correctly attributed it to Artemis and I highly recommend that H/Hers check it out. :)
