I forgot to say the other day that St. Patrick's Day is always weird for me, because random people invariably shout to me on the street. (If you did not know, I am Weasley-hued, hence.) Of course, this type of harassment is not limited to one day a year - there was also the completely unprovoked time when a dude said to me while I was waiting for ( Read more... )

I torment my sister's boyfriend my calling him Ginger instead of using his name. He turns the funniest shade of red which, of course, can only lead to further teasing. (I love that guy, he's so good for her)

You ever see that South Park about gingers trying to take over the world and killing everyone that's not ginger?

NO!!!! Haha, silly but I went my whole life being redheaded and never knew of the term "ginger" before HP.

It was COMPLETELY bizarre. Luckily I was not alone. And ack, I hate it when people (men) tell me to smile for them. Especially if I then kind of do! I am, for some reason, pretty frequently harassed by weirdos though.

I am, I think, far more intimidating to like, normal people, or rather people in close range or that I might consider. Randoms, however...

I really wish I dealt with harassment better. I tend to go for one of three things: walking right on by, sort of responding (like if it's not obviously gross, just an invasion of my right NOT to be talked to), or yelling obscenities. I think there's a better option.

"You're so cute-you're like a little leprechuan. Makes me want to take you home to the country and marry you, put you under glass and watch you sleep." !!!!!

O.o

Gah, that is the creepiest thing I've heard in ages! Run away!!!!

Aww! I want to see DanRad in chucks and a suit in the Tardis, too! How adorable would that be???? *.*

What happened was my friend I was with tried v. hard to represent herself as a scary and intimidating girlfriend. Then the bus came and we got on and he, luckily did not.

DanRad on the Tardis would be SO CUTE. This was provoked by a surely incorrect rumor that he was being considered for the next Doctor (I mean, he's too young, right? And tied up filming HP movies for the next few years.)

Whew. I'm glad to hear that he didn't follow you or anything like that. Yikes.

Yes! I meant to comment on your other post about the HP movies, and the last one being split into two films. I love that they've decided to do that! I'm really hoping that'll mean the films won't leave one iota out from what JK wrote. :)

Yep, the last two movies are EACH going to be two and half hours long. I wonder where they're going to split the book. They won't say yet.

ah, i loves ye, me wee leprechaun lassie!

in 3rd grade, I won the "most Irish name" contest at school. Probably the first predominately Mexican person to have ever done so. Some girl got mad at me because she thought she "looked more Irish" than me. (She did--red hair, freckles, but darker red than yours, and super curly.)

Sigh. Elementary school identity politics, alive and well...

*reads your porn*

*hopes for allusions to troubling past Tonks experiences*

I mostly find it odd that you had such a competition at your school. I would, on all counts LOSE, bearing four names which are Latin American, Pennsylvania Quaker, French and German in origin.

Troubling past Tonks experiences! I think we were actually talking about Rupert and Dan and their naughty times with the actress, but. I do like me some Tonks/Harry esp. if she metamorphs herself a cock (and I have actually come across more than one fic like this).

i went to a v. competitive elementary school. It was odd. I also remember the "real" Irish girl (whose family was *really* irish) graciously yielding to me that year, as she had won the year prior.

wonder if JK would ever write a male metamorph or if such a beast exists. Seems like such an essentially feminine attribute, to be able to change oneself for pleasure/survival.

I actually recently read a fic where Harry was a metamorph. He used it to go undercover as an Auror. It was quite complicated and involved a v. weird rape revenge narrative in which Draco and compatriots had raped and (they thought) killed Harry, also shaving him so that Draco could play out his sick games with lots of Harry look-a-likes. Yeah, I don't know.

Ahahaha, SUE. It is so much less creepy when you say it!

Mmmmm, coconut. I'm living on a diet of frozen pizza and Coke Zero myself, currently.
