(no subject)
As much as I'm loving being home, it's going to be even more exciting once the German exam is over. Not that I'm remotely worried about it, but it will be nice to officially be done for the term. Friends of the family came over for dinner last night, and finally, for like the 3rd time ever, I got to play my Harry Potter Scene It game. No one here will ever play with me, because I always massacre them at it. As it was, I was on a team with my Dad (who basically sat there and said nothing, apart from the odd interjection of "Ron Weasley!" for no reason other than he likes him) and we won quite solidly. It was a very fun evening overall. I think I might be finally getting my parents to watch GoF tonight, which I can never quite believe they haven't done yet.
Although the only person I am even vaguely expecting to know this is
sublunamsusurri (on account of her being awesome enough to be acquainted with the show Regenesis), I still felt that this revelation was worth mentioning. There are apparently a set of genes that have to do with addiction. The more of these that you have, the more likely you are to become addicted to things. True story. Anyway, I think I've probably got a lot of them. (And I suspect that same is true of one of my brothers, but that's an entirely different story). The fact is, when I'm into something, I'm into it. Some of you may be familiar with the time I once watched The Mummy 27 times in one week. I was at the point of being able to completely quote the whole thing. I couldn't stop watching, and once I did, I felt all weird and went through a kind of withdrawal. There are similar stories with my grade 10 obsession with Digimon, and after that, all things Harry Potter (while I still love Harry Potter, I am no longer writing and reading fanfiction in every spare moment). What am I addicted to right now? The Wicked soundtrack. I've listened to it countless times this past week, and I love it. I don't want to listen to it too much more, because I don't want to hear it so much that I start disliking it. But if I don't listen to it, I start yearning and itching to do so. After I do it each time, I tell myself that that will be the last time for a while, but of course, it isn't. Am I thinking about it right now? You bet I am.
My aunt is apparently trying to set me up with some 29-year-old guy. I was tempted to run in the opposite direction, but after advice from others, I am finding out more about him, instead. I suppose it's not like there's any other prospects around, so what the heck (and yes, I'm pretty sure I know what you have to say on this subject,
lakura).
Now that I am completely out of soul-baring revelations, I'm off.
EDIT: Ha! Look whose LJ Tags have finally decided to behave themselves!
