Amycus Carrow = squat, lumpy, stupid giggle, really bad sense of humor. Alecto = resembles her brother. So why would someone use Elisha Cuthbert for Alecto? Sarah Michelle Gellar is not my first choice for Narcissa, either. |

Need to do stuff at 12GP. Also need to do stuff at RR. Other games are pretty much okay. My best friend is in town, but thankfully she is a very sensible best friend and also likes to have time to sit and relax and computerize. This is probably the reason for the best-friendness. But I am still kind of tired; I am used to a lot more time to myself. Hay guyz guess what I dyed my hair. It's black! I have wanted black hair since I was about thirteen, so it only took me about half my life. Could be worse. Speaking of which, there need to be goths at BNW. I personally think it would be hilarious if Nix was one, because is it possible to have a gothier name than Nyx (because she would go by that, of course) Stone? Well, probably. But she should still be a goth. And I think one of Dennis' daughters should be a goth too, because they are both Puffs and the Goth Hufflepuff is a fantastic concept. ( Character musings ) |

I debated whether to post this on LJ or IJ, and almost went with LJ because it's entirely real-life-related. But I finally chose to bring it here because one, I already posted on LJ today (an interestingly stupid cleaning-fumes-and-starvation-inspired ramble about the evils of scrubbing one's bathtub) and two, I don't want it to get back to my roommates. Here's the situation: Heather, who the rest of us sub-lease through, is not the most stable person in the world. You wouldn't think it to look at her, but it's true. She has amazing amounts of stress, but she goes to therapy regularly and has been coping pretty well this summer. Her friend Sabrina was going to move in with us this fall. Nate is a very talented, personable and supposedly attractive (not my type at all, but tastes differ wildly) guy that Heather has been in love with for at least a year. Tonight Sabrina told Heather that Nate was interested in dating her. Her as in Sabrina. So Sabrina's not moving in anymore, and Heather is very upset and went to her mom's for the weekend. (Roommate Carlina, who just came back tonight, thinks the whole thing is kind of funny. Carlina has a very strange sense of humor sometimes.) Not just because Nate's interested in Sabrina, but because Sabrina might actually date him. She's not sure yet because he's in the Dominican Republic right now (Sabrina was there for part of the summer too, and apparently that is where all this happened) and she won't know what's going on until he gets back. I personally think it's kind of lame for her to even consider dating a guy Heather's that crazy about. Even if nothing's ever going to happen between him and Heather, you shouldn't really do that. But on the other hand, is it really right to pass up something that could turn out to be wonderful and just what you needed and wanted just because you might upset someone else? Me? Yes. In a heartbeat. I'd totally pass it up, probably without even thinking about it, because established friendships are more important to me than the slight chance of finding romance. And I'd probably never tell that friend because even knowing about it would probably hurt a lot. So it really surprised me that Sabrina would consider it, because I just assumed everyone was that way. I guess not, though. I don't know. What would you do? |

You know what I'd forgotten was fun? Developing characters through my own mistakes or bursts of stupidity. Like... Meaghan at CQ calling Parvati Harvati "LIKE THE CHEESE!!!!!!" was because I thought it was funny and didn't realize that Meaghan was not very adventurous when it came to food and probably wouldn't even know what Havarti was. Teddy just called a young, unmarried woman Madame because I suddenly blanked on how to spell Mademoiselle (...was that right? I'm still not sure!). Bottom line, I need to loosen up and not only let my characters make mistakes, but let myself make them too. Mistakes are not a death sentence in writing! They make things fun, because in explaining them away you have to be creative! It's like roughhousing with my little brother - you use everyfreakingthing at your disposal, elbows, pillows, (paperback) books... and I have noooo idea if that made any sense, but, uh, whatever. I have been listening to The Format at work on our music-shary-ma-jig, so I downloaded the songs from that album, but I SWEAR The First Single is a different version on the work thingy. This version says "straight line, baby, straight, straight line," but the work one says "straight line down" or something like that. I want that version, argh. But I think it's going to be just as impossible to find that as it proved to find the acoustic version of Howard Jones' Everlasting Love. Oh well. I need to get a Teddy icon on here. Hmm. |

This looks like fun! Comment with one of my characters and I will answer the following questions: 1. What is their favorite food? 2. What is their favorite fast food restaurant? 3. Can they cook? How well? 4. What is their favorite kind of food to cook? (Desserts, a certain ethnicity, etc.) 5. What is the one thing that's likely to be in their fridge at all times? |

Abbyyyyy, we should figure out how Eric and Beth's thingy went! And oh my gosh, poor Beth. She's totally thinking Danielle means Eric, isn't she? D: Also, EVERYONE AT 12GP SHOULD DO STUFF AT 12GP, kthxbai. :D :D I really want a Percy still. Any hopes of finding a Percy? Charlie will be tolerably nice to him and even let him visit the reserve! :D |

You know what's hard? Opening yourself up. Not holding yourself back all the time. Allowing yourself the opportunity. Any opportunity. The opportunity to feel, to grow, to learn, to fail, to succeed - because you can't succeed if you never give yourself the chance to fail, really. You know what's harder? Expressing that. All the hope and joy of the attempt, all the fear and doubt and sorrow of failure. Because you can't just feel it once. You have to relive it, over and over until it sits like a lump in the back of your throat. You have to dwell on it, to exult, to wallow, until you understand it perfectly, until it shines, until it shakes. And you can't do any of that unless you care and try. So maybe it's not so masochistic to look back at things that made you happy but you'll never have again in exactly that shape and form. Yes, it hurts. But if you can still get carried away in what was, in the things you felt at the time, that's not ignoring the truth. It's just reminding yourself of the possibilities. And if remembering brings you pain, which it usually will, that's not bad either because that will encourage you to do things differently. To stop being proud and start working with people, treating them like people instead of... vending machines. And there is nothing wrong with trying, or with caring so much it hurts sometimes. I sound kind of pretentious, don't I? Heh. At least I don't sound mystical. Or maybe I do, this could be a weird combination. |

Things that make me happy: - People applying for my characters' siblings! :D Y helo thar, two at a time. - People applying for my friends' characters' siblings/friends! I couldn't think of a better way to phrase that. - Downloads being done. Maybe I should... you know. Watch some of the stuff I downloaded one of these days. - Potter Day tomorrow hurraaaaaah! (...It was tomorrow, right? I didn't miss it?) - Home teachers! I've missed having those, or at least ones that ventured forth to my house on occasion. I wish that list was longer. Oh well, soldier on. Tomorrow is another day! |

Sooooo. Who was it who was looking at Victoire at BNW approximately fifty years ago? Was that Sally? Are you still interested? Because, um, I may or may not be applying for Teddy, and would like to backstoryplot. :D OH, and Kati, can we give people the Quidditch info? We're done, right? Which reminds me, I need to made the Quidditch schedule, too. |

OOH! Ebay has just informed me that there are currently auctions on Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Juicy Couture! And I could buy diamond earrings!! And OIL PAINTINGS!! Baleted! Seriously, ebay. The only things I've bought from you are related to Wonderfalls and computer games. Please to not be sending me fashiony info, it is kinda wasted on me. In other news... hi! I'm home! |

My body, it hates me. I've worn heeled sandals to work the last three days, and my legs are about to give up the ghost. And my stomach apparently can't handle just eating snack food while I'm at work. I should get some string cheese or something, that's healthyish. I am going to the airport after work today! :D I will be home until Monday... I'm flying back Monday evening. So I will probably not be around much this weekend, if at all. Please try to hold in your sorrow. In the meantime, it's the usual slow kind of day, so I'll probably be popping in and out of RP stuff more than I technically should. Maybe I will do stuff in 12GP. For all that I've been really excited about it, I keep forgetting it exists. People I want to talk to: - Megh re: Ginny/Michael - Dena re: possible Charlie and Tonks stuffs - Jillian re: you-know-what - Eronn re: Holly/Corrie plottage? nothing in particular, it just might be fun to brainstorm at some point :) Also, Ren, I am totally working on a reply letter, I just don't know when I'll be able to finish/post it. I am listening to a lot of music from my junior high/high school days lately. Hello, Alanis. Why are you so petrified of silence? Here, can you handle THIS? |

Without looking at my current and past character directories, what patterns do you associate with my roleplaying? For example, with Harry Potter RPing, this can include things like gender, house, blood status, physical details, PBs, family, personalities, eras, specific characters, etc. I swear I've done this before, but, uh, maybe someone's noticed new patterns since the last time. Or something. |

Eeee, I'm downloading Emma. As in the Victorian anime that has nothing to do with Jane Austen's Emma, but is equally awesome in different ways. Okay, so I'm trying to find a BNW-era Meaghan, I don't know why, I guess I'm insane or something. Right now it's between Geena Davis and Sally Field. Or possibly Susan Sarandon, because she looks a lot like Sigourney Weaver, who is Meaghan's mom. Sally Field would amuse me because she plays the mother of the guy we're using for Carl/Alex/Sandy, but I would prefer someone who's closer to 50 than 60. But either way, I am fairly certain that this guy is older Pye. I have noooo idea why I feel the need to figure this out (or to tell you guys; I'm sure you couldn't care less), but it's fun. :D |

This game looked very tempting until I saw that there's a hold for ________ Chittock-Tremlett, with a PB of Christina Aguilera. PB lists, you simplify my life so much. In other news, various things people have said lately have made me think ( I kind of come across as anti-shipping. ) Also, I made rice crispies tonight. And watched about six hours of Law & Order. Oyyyyyy. |
