There and back again
You know, if "there" = a fifteen hour-by-bus long journey across the state line to the country next door (or beneath us, on the map). It wasn't like I went that far, but =p It was one of the few trips I've ever taken so far without my family coming along, and it WAS the first time I've gone so far without it being school-related.
And Readercon was ( Read more... ) -
I think I need a new theme
...Or, you know, maybe just another reason to update, a reason that DOESN'T always include me being sick *sigh*
But I'm still super-excited, because I'm going to Readercon tomorrow night, and nothing, absolutely nothing is going to stop me from enjoying that. Books, and discussion, for four days straight. My friend is going to hate me, but I will ( Read more... ) -

Greatest news in the world; the place I'm staying at in England has internet access! Limited access, admittedly, but still! *tacklehugs her entire f-list* It's something; never thought I'd say this, but I AM a little homesick, even after getting smashed in a pub (one of my firsts! Hee!)

To the HP fandom in general: ( LOL! This fandom is absolutely hilarious ) -
Damn, I almost had an interesting update, too...
Ack, I was actually going to post some theory I've been thinking about for a loooonngg time now, dealing with the effect of fanon on our love of HP canon characters and characterization ( Read more... )
