hello all! last weekend i went to the harry potter exhibition with my pal
ava. it was MARVELOUS! it had all the actual costumes and props from all the movies, and we didn't want to leave when it ended. we were seriously amazed by the multitude of items and the attention to detail. definitely re-inforced our desire of wanting hogwarts and magic to be real :( if the exhibition is coming to your city, don't miss out on it!
of course we bought a lot of lovely swag! i purchased:
- a mug with the crests of all 4 hogwarts houses
- a ministry proclamation magnet
- a "have you seen this wizard?" magnet
- a time-turner necklace
- a couple of postcards with umbridge's rules
and now, pictures of said items & other things!
my awesome swag!
look at this wicked cool time-turner necklace!
there was an awesome hallway with changing lights [not part of exhibit]. i have decided to install one in my future home!
MY ALL-SEEING EYE! I AM SAURON, YOU MAY CALL ME THE DARK ONE
actually, it was a gadget that you looked into and it would magnify your eye [not part of exhibit]
hanging out with buddies
one of my all-time fave rings! i have it in white as well :D
my new jeans, woot woot!
btw last night I MIGHT HAVE ADMITTED TO
THE BF THAT I WROTE SLASHY FANFIC ABOUT THE JONAS BROTHERS. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. okay, we were watching an episode of justice league, and this is what happened:me: *explains concept of big bang fests while taking care of mod business for inception_bang and inception_icons*
the bf: why do you always do these "background" things instead of just writing the fanfiction?
me: not everyone has to be a writer, y'know. other roles such as organising fests, or running comms are just as important as producing fic. i mean, several hundred people visit my journal strictly for my recs.
me: and anyway, i have written fanfic.
the bf: what? when? why didn't you tell me or let me read it? give!
me: um, no. it's okay.
the bf: but why? you always let me read other things you write.
me: because..well, it's kind of embarrassing. it's about..the jonas brothers.
the bf: *groans* okay yeah, that IS embarrassing.
me: oh shuttup! anyway, if you really want to read it, it's about joe and nick. and you can't make fun of me or judge me, okay?
the bf: ..what, do they have sex with each other?
me: okay, you're in no position to say anything! the very first book you lent me when we started dating 8 years ago was grrm's a song of ice and fire series. which is PUBLISHED FICTION with INCEST in the VERY FIRST CHAPTER.
the bf: yeh, but it's straight incest!
me: SO?! THAT'S CREEPIER BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF MUTANT BABIES. EW.
the bf: the chances of that happening are quite low actua-
me: -that's besides the point. RL incest is always freaky. and in fiction, as a female, i am incredibly turned off by the idea of incest babies. that becomes a non-issue with same-sex incest couples.
the bf: that's because you make everything gay.
me: yep! *points at screen* batman is scared to have inter-team romances because he was burnt badly with superman.
...
so i emailed him the fic and told him to read at his own risk. he was about to read it right then but i was sitting right beside him and told him to do it later since i was embarrassed. i suppose he'll let me know once he's done with it.
i guess i shouldn't have a problem admitting to shipping wincest now, right? after all, nothing could be more embarrassing than shipping purity ring-wearing RL disney popstar brothers..
*facepalm*
