birthdays and grifters and stuff
Yesterday was really, really fun. As some of you know, it was my sister's birthday so I spent most of the day just relaxing and doing family things and it was really lovely. She opened her presents and then we took Kizzie for a walk and then we played Trivial Pursuit. I didn't win but I was definitely the best at the Art/Literature and the History questions :)
In the evening, my sister chose to watch some of the Harry Potter special features from the dvds and, can I just say, I think I'm falling in love with the actors all over again. They're so funny and adorable and they're just such a family and it's great.
Other things happened yesterday, too. I found out that I'm on Team Grifter over at leverageland AND I took part in my first challenge (character stamping, which was fun to do - I'll find out which character people think I am sometime over the next week or so). I also got my email telling me which artists I'm with for thebigbangjob and I'm VERY excited now :D
I kind of sort of gave up on reading Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. I didn't not like it or anything, it just wasn't holding my interest and it was taking me longer to read than books usually do. I will go back and finish it at some point (because I always finish books) but for now I'm going to leave it because I want to read as much as possible before I start uni. I'm starting 'Brighton Rock' instead and then I'm going to read some Hemmingway.
Some of the bonus material on Pottermore is really awesome - I won't say anything more because I don't want to spoil it for people who haven't read it yet. Anyway, I got sorted into Hufflepuff and the people in my house are awesome and I'm sick of two people I know in RL talking about how Hufflepuff is the worst house because loyalty and friendship are very good traits in my eyes (and, also, Cedric.) And I know it's only a website but it's more the principle of the thing.
Anyway, it's Friday so I hope you'll all have a great weekend! *hugs*
