I have not written in a week, which is awful, just awful, or it would be if anybody cared. This weekend I saw "Spring Awakening" with Rachael and Liz. I genuinely enjoyed it, a lot more than I actually thought I would. Well, no, that's not what I mean.

Ever. In my life.

I'm feeling really down and depressed.

Last night I had (yet another) dream that I was about to be murdered. So weird, and many of the details are almost silly.

Honestly pretty much every dream I wake up ( Read more... )

What is it about Harry Potter that makes me revert temporarily to a 14-year-old girl? I think of all those summers spent as a teenager reading HP, tearing through the books. And when I wasn't tearing through the books in the summer, I was obsessing over the movies. You can be sure that it was summer when I started my Daniel Radcliffe fansite. There ( Read more... )
