Had enough. Getting out.
A comment i posted in news and lj_biz this morning:
LiveJournal, i loved you but i hate what you have become since Six Apart took over. I have just HAD ENOUGH. You've pushed me too far this time. I'm going it alone where i am free to post what i want without fear of idiotic censorship and such cruel insensitivity ( Read more... ) -
My thoughts immediately after finishing Deathly Hallows
I wrote these on the Monday morning, just after finishing Deathly Hallows, before i had chance to speak to anyone else or read anyone else's reactions. I'm so glad i have this, because my opinions have been somewhat swayed since by other people's reviews, and it's nice to have this record of my own initial feelings ( Read more... ) -
Read-along Harry Potter (part 8)
Okay, this does it. I've said it too many times before. I've just about had it with LJ. It is definitely time to leave. In the latest round of LJ drama two people were permanently deleted with no warning, just because they posted pictures of characters from Harry Potter in sexual situations.

Now we come to the REALLY EXCITING part of the book! I agree with blahflowers that Chapter 28 was the turning point and it's all super-super-amazing from here to the end! :)

Read-along Harry Potter (part 3)
Today i heard some wonderful news: JK Rowling is writing again! Something for children and something else for adults. Jo expects one to surpass the other after a while. I don't mind.

Read-along Harry Potter (part 1)
I spent the whole entire weekend reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and making copious notes as i went. I didn't want to rush myself; i savoured every moment of reading, and loved the thrill of having a new Harry Potter book where i didn't know what was coming.
