Which canon house trait do you lot think is best represented in my personality?

My independence is the strongest/most valuable bit of my personality in my estimation, but that's not a trait specifically assigned to one house. If you've a different take, I'd love to hear it, of course.


Graciasss, amigossss

y holaaaa, Barty Crouch, Jr.

GIN! GIN!!

APPARENTLY, SNAPE STOLE REGULUS BLACK'S DIARY AND IS PASSING IT OFF AS HIS OWN.

PROOF IN THE PUDDING:

Um.

Shower and then downtown? WTF, why am I still sitting here?

HOLY SHIT, IT'S ALL-STAR WEEK!!! =D

I need to go and find the Arches they decorated for this shindig, and see what all else they've done to downtown to make it ready for this event - it's like my own personal scavenger hunt =D

I also still need to find a Gryffindor tie and shit for tomorrow night D=

Things are looking up for several reasons:

1. I got an e-mail from my mum asking me, if she were able to do it, from whom would I like an autographed All-Star baseball: Ozzie Smith, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, or Stan Musial? Er, WHAT?!!?!!?!? All are so awesome, but I already have an autographed Ozzie Smith ball, and I've met and talked baseball with him before. I ultimately told her I wanted one signed by Musial because one of my first memories of playing softball had to do with Musial, not to mention when my family and I were nearly run over by him at the home opener of the 1996 season. Plus, he's well old, so who knows how much longer I've a chance to get a ball signed by him, y'know? But God, I would love balls signed by Gibby and Brock, too. Next time.

2. Speaking of the Cardinals, they fucking swept the Cubs at Busch!! Yes! Perfect timing, too, as we have taken such a swan dive in the month of May, and have gone from a good distance in front in first to third. Now we're solidly in second to the Milwaukee Brewers (2.0 games back, Chicago is 4 back and in third). We open play against the KC Royals tonight. Should be a good series - it generally is.

3. The weather. It's so awesome right now. The only thing marring this is the fact that the river is flooded, and so there is no where for me to go and just lie on a beach since they're all underwater. Oh, well. I might take out my bike later and just ride aimlessly.

4. I might have a job as soon as Tuesday, which is fabulous! It'll be at Schnuck's, a local grocery chain. Not all that glamorous, but it's money, and it's at the new downtown location, so it's nearby and that location is supposed to cater to the loft district and all the rich young professionals that live there, or at least that's what I heard.

5. fancynewgin and I are going to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince dressed up as the Black Brothers. I am so ridiculously excited for this =D =D =D.

6. There is something else I am really excited about, but I can't think of it right now as the other items on this list are just so awesome.

I mean, it's a valid question, seeing as his face and his body definitely do not match whatsoever.

I CAN'T HELP MY CURIOSITY, OKAY!?!

You know, I never quite understood the fangirling of Snape. It never clicked for me, and I considered myself one of the few the proud, the Marines immune to this phenomenon.

I realise now that I was quite mistaken, for I know that, despite how much I disagree with casting him as Regulus, this will be me on the inside when his scene (which probably lasts literally less than a second) comes up:



Seriously, the smallest mention of Regulus makes me go all wompy and splutter rather incoherently.

The Blacks are by far my favourite family in Harry Potter - the rest don't even begin to approach coming close - but the love I have for Regulus is jjasgdjgfkdasdhfjsduigsdihfKEYBOARDSMASHjudhkjdshld. Sirius, too, but OMG REGULUS.

<3 <3 <3




ETA:

LOLOLOL for days @ Snape's nose.

ETA2:
fancynewgin, I made the Black family on the Sims 2, and one of Regulus's fears is having a party, lololol. I also gave him ducky pyjamas.

ETA: This why an advisory has been issued:

DANRAD'S BALLS WHIRL LIKE HELICOPTER BLADES, AND WHEN DANRAD GIVES THE COMMAND, THEY LEAP FORTH AND PUNCH YOU IN THE EYE.

_{this was caught on hogwarts' cctv, jsyk}

LOL GRINDELWALD TOTES AK'D THAT GUY.

I AM IN GRINDELWALD. LOLOOLOLOLOLITERATURE.

I WILL BE SEARCHING FOR THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, IN ADDITION TO JUMPING OFF A MOUNTAIN TOMORROW. YAYAYAYAYAY.

HOPE I DON'T DIE!!!!!!

Er, I want to see this movie again, like, right now.

I loved it until they got to the Ministry of Magic/Dept of Mysteries.
( lolz spoilers )

I'd probably prattle on for ever about this, as there's so much to say, but I've got to go and move shit again. I'm tired of this. I just want to sit and re-read HBP as I remember absolutely nothing of it. It's actually nice out. :'(

_{Gary Oldman Nic screaming about his her wee arms}

I've had recent bad luck with bug bites.

It started on the fourth, and I just attributed the bites to mosquitos (I had been sitting outside the entire time). There were quite a lot of them: at least 15-20 on my legs and ass, all said. As I started moving things in to my new apartment, I noticed an increase in the bite count without me venturing outside more than to take trash out/walk to/from the car.

What could cause such a thing? I wondered, and then I had an epiphany last night.

FLEAS

The previous occupant had a cat, and judging by the state of some things, was not the cleanliest of creatures. I think that cat had fleas, the fleas laid eggs into the carpet (hardwood floors, you make me love you more and more each day), and now they're bite crazy. Everyone else that's been through has seemed immune to their parasitic tendencies, and I'm glad for them, so I wonder what it is about me that makes me so delectable (besides the fact that I'm awesome).

So, yeah, the exterminator is coming out on Thursday. Huzzah!

I tried taking pictures of all my bites, but on film, they're pretty indistinguishable from my freckles =\

UP TONIGHT:


TRIVIA NIGHT
which i will play whilst watching


&& at midnight CDT:



CHILLIN WIV BIG D AIGHT BIG UP YOSELF


ETA (AND COUNTING)
I SHOULD FIND AN OLD T-SHIRT AND WRITE 'THE WEIRD SISTERS' ON IT FOR THE MOVIE TONIGHT.

Y/Y?

SO SANJAYA'S LOOK TONIGHT:



TOTES INSPIRED BY GARY OLDMAN A LA ORDER OF THE PHOENIX?:



Y/Y?

I HAVE DEFINITE HOPES FOR VOLDEMORT'S SECRET THWARTER!!

I mean, I know whom I hope it is. The thought of it is making me very giggly and happy.

PS - I found _________'s death to be much more satisfying that Sirius's; there was closure in it, probably cause there was a body and it's probably pretty definitely deceased. I mean, Sirius's little foray into the Netherworld was about on par with that of the guy that passed out and ended up drowning in his cat's water dish. Silly.

PPS - READ DEE BOOK SO I CAN MAKE SILLY PICTURES!!!!..._{not that i have any ideas for any, but you know, for when they occur to me; i don't want to have to tread lightly. i want to stomp around like grawp, dammit.}

PPPS - speaking of Grawp, my mum's voicemail ring almost forced me to chuck the phone through a window. Seriously, I don't think I've ever felt so violent toward an innocuous bit of modern technology. It's sad that the only thing stopping me doing such a thing was the fact that I'd more than likely get in great trouble...and would probably be forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

CARDINALS' BASEBALL!!!!!!!

plussssssss, previews of Goblet of Fire tonight. My life is good.

whoa, so cinco de mayo

I ask myself, "How was I able to drive myself home? I'm still loopy, and that's after I've passed out and slept for six hours or so"
And I answer myself, "That's because I didn't feel nearly as drunk as I was upon leaving."

Seriously.

I think I remember laughing and going "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo" as I was driving home.

Then again, I don't remember driving at all. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

I'm going to go check to see if my car's in the lot....brb....

okay, it is.

oddddddd

I think it's funny that when I woke up at 2.30 and came down to use the computer, my visor and phone were there right next to the computer, like I had been planning on using it when I got in and then got sidetracked.

IT'S SO WEIRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

Moral: Drinking 5 margaritas will strike you when you least expect it.


"I'm so depressed."

PS- I want Voldemort to be as eloquent as he was in Goblet of Fire. That was my favourite.
