Well now what?

I spent the better part of five years obsessing over this stuff and now it's over.  And while the last book left something to be desired, I'm pretty satisfied with it.  But now what do I do?  No Potter, no Buffy, no X Files... I'm in a fandom slump.

I know something will come along that will just grab me, and a bunch of other ( Read more... )

So how crazy is this Internet thing?? I actually flew to Portland, to spend the weekend with a bunch of people I'd only known through the HHDA forum, so that we could attend the midnight premier of GoF! I had a freakin' blast, too! Although, I am a little disapointed that none of them turned out to be a perveted guy intent on taking me to some ( Read more... )

So I haven't posted in a while, so I figure I should.

Still job hunting, but that's not stressing me too much. Rather than take the first thing that came along, I decided I had time to be selective. I've got an interview soon and if it works out, I'll be starting at the same wage I had afer 14 years with my last company. I liked it there, but ( Read more... )

The new book? Sucked ass. In fact, the term "crushing disappointment" comes to mind.

So R/Hr is destined, and canon, and obvious, and only Herons read the books. Um-hmm. Cuz, you see, Ron noticed Hermione's teeth first. Look... trees! [/rolleyes]

Harry didn't notice any girls at Hogwarts. After his talk with McG about finding a partner, Harry walked into the hall and was rather shocked to find that Hogwarts was full of 'em. ( ( Read more... )

Well ain't that just the way. I finally get a lunch buddy, someone at work to hang with and be cool around, and she's leaving me. Well, leaving the state, but same difference. Don't you hate it when you finally get your department the way you want it (dorks, assholes, and poseurs all quit/get fired; cool peeps come in to replace them), then the ( Read more... )

I'm going to have a very comfortable retirement. I will live in a posh house, with a big backyard, and a 3-car garage; which I will need because I'll have a new car every two years.

How will I afford this, you ask? Ummm... hard work, thriftiness, and sound investments? Aw hell no. See, my kids are white-collar criminals. And everyone knows ( Read more... )

So I've been wanting an Angels cap forever. I'm not one to walk around wearing ballcaps - being a chick and all - but I've got to take the dog for walks on the levy, rain or shine, and many times I've wished for a ballcap. And I love sports gear!!! Perfect match, no?

Umm... well no, because I don't make $1,000 a week, which is the minimum ( Read more... )

The Bickering Couple (and why R/Hr ain't it)

So their bickering is all just fun and games. A mere side effect of a building, and as yet, unresolved sexual tension. The screaming matches and harsh words, the biting comments and stretches of not speaking to each other, the lack of empathy or concern for the other's goals, values and fears is really ( Read more... )

Harry and Hermione. How can you not ship them? They have such a deep connection. They communicate without words, argue without hurting, listen without judging, apologize without resenting, and support without expectation. It's almost, by definition, the opposite of siblings; and everything that Ron and Hermione are not. Not only are they ( Read more... )
