Day One of hamster-sitting: Hamster is still alive! Nobody got peed on! Hamster's single escape attempt was foiled my my catlike reflexes.*

I am watching my friend's hamster while he is off at Otakon. I...have never had a pet larger than a fish in my life, so I don't know why he decided to trust me with Coraline. But she's adorable, and like I said ( Read more... )

So I've got my inter-house friendship bracelets on (Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin), fingernails painted blue and bronze in honor of Ravenclaw, a blue sweater with a Ravenclaw patch hanging in the closet...and nowhere to go.

Because Sarah, distracted by the goofy details of a Harry Potter midnight showing failed to purchase tickets in time. ( Read more... )

You know, I was going to chime in on the whole Dumbledore brouhaha, but then I realized.

I.

Freaking.

Called it.

That was in 2004, y'all. I amuse myself greatly.

In other news, I accidentally got a 1500 on a practice GRE test this morning. I say "accidentally" because I guessed at probably a third of the math questions and somehow managed to score a 780 ( Read more... )

There's 3,000 words of faux-Regency Harry Potter fanfiction on my screen right now, and I don't know how it got there.

I mean, I know how it got there, I guess. I was just sort of goofing around with an idea, born from shelving too many bad historical romances. I was playing solitaire, and typing up snippets, and playing some more solitaire, and ( Read more... )

Well, if there was ever a sign of a diseased mind, this is it.

See, for fanthropology's Friday Fun Time, we were to get a pairing via a random pairing generator and defend it all OTP-like.

And so then I wrote fic.

PS: You guys are all so awesome. *huge hugs* Thank you so much.

I wrote fic today. There was Remus and Sirius and a motorbike and kisses against a wall in the rain. I was quite proud of it. I wrote it in present tense, then copied it into past tense because I wanted to see which one suited it better.

Then at dinner my brother, out of the blue, sang I should've been a Jedi to the tune of Toby Keith's "Should've ( Read more... )

I spent yesterday evening researching grad schools and having a very pleasant conversation with Zac. This afternoon, I scheduled a job interview in the book department of the Catholic press for which my mother works. So in the spirit of continued randomness, and the spirit of not freaking out about the prospect of a really real job, I present the ( Read more... )

Hi, guys, I'm back.

And look! I'm famous on the Interwebs! *preens*

I love how the picture makes me look about three feet tall and my sisters like Amazons. ;) All joking aside, though, I'm way freaking proud of that article. When we got home from Florida at 6:15 in the morning, the first thing I saw was the stack of papers my grandparents had bought ( Read more... )
