I agree.  I see Draco more of staying
out of it then "switching sides" but if
he saw it in his best interest to play
nice with the side of Light then I
think he would do so.

Of course in reality we all know he's
going to be an eager little boot licker
but it's nice to pretend the boy has a
brain every once in a while.

<I think Draco is more obsessed over
his hair>

Hmm, I always thought it was his
clothes...

<if Draco really has a natural 'fro
going on that he
hides with sleek easy potion.>

GAAAHHH, the mental images!!!

I hate you.

<Anyway, sometimes I find some
recommended fic is over-rated.>

Often happens, which is why I don't
give my impressions of rec'd fics, I
just give the info and if I had a
strong reaction (such as the case with
"In the Closet"), I note it.

One, and ONLY one person has a name
similar to mine in my eight year
online.  She's missing an i in her
name.  But chances are if you see
someone with my name, it's me.  Which
is why I choose it.

Freaky girl though...like bondage,
role-playing and making men beg...

*smirk*

<Y'know, I used to drop the second 'i'
in your name by mistake.>

EVERYONE does that at least once.  I've
stopped yelling at people for it.  I
left out the 'n' once.

<How's the site coming along?>

*bangs head on desk*  I forgot that I
did most of the FF.N links before FF.N
changed their URLs so now I have to go
through and fix them all, then upload
the new links, THEN do the grand
opening blitz.  It was easier promoting
my own fanfiction then it is doing
this.  I don't even have a site ad
written up like I had for the old
"Tomes of Knowledge" site.

<Still, isn't Lumos in 2006?>

Oui.

<Though, one thing I won't criticize
Chris Columbus on is how he included a
rather long Quidditch scene in COS.
For a slasher, it made me a happy
camper.>

I think Chris is a slasher at
heart...or he just doesn't notice Tom
F.'s acting...of course there's bits of
it in PoA too but anyway.   That scene
was needed to appease fans.  There was
nothing else really to put there so
they could have it nice and long.  PoA
had a slashed timeline and a lot of
high points to hit so we got just the
basics, Cedric and the Dementors,
although it was hard for me to watch
Cedric and Harry play even for the
short bits and I'm not a C/H fan
myself.

I guess it's that whole bit of knowing
what's coming.  With SS and CoS I could
enjoy the Quidditch because a dead guy
wasn't playing.  With PoA...I nearly
wept when I saw Ced even if it's not
the guy whose playing him next year.
Same with Siri.  There's no happy
ending in store for these two and I
couldn't forget that while watching.

Mere gave me a funny look when I quoted
my LJ icon at the end of Sirius' speech
near the end of PoA ("The ones we love,
never truly leave us"--Sirius  "But you
did"--Me) until I explained it to
her...maybe I shouldn't take her to
movies since I have to explain future
books (during SS Mere went mad for
Scabbers and I had to tell her to just
wait three years and she might change
her mind...plus I kept yelling "PETER"
at the screen so that kind of confused
her).

Gah I rambled on and on!  This is why I
should not have a bowl filled with
Halloween candy next to my desk.

was five.  I have it all planned,
invitations, cake,  heck I even know
what flatware to use.  I'm twenty-three
now, and I'm watching those dreams go
up in flames.  All because I'm a
lesbian, a second class citizen.
