Gildy vs. Snape

2004-02-16T18:24:00.000-08:00

*looks appropriately mournful*

I miss Harry Potter.

So I say we resurrect this puppy! WHO'S WITH ME?!?!

. . . *cricket . . . cricket . . .*

. . . hello??

2003-10-19T16:57:00.000-07:00

Okay. *pokes blog* Maybe it is dead.

Sigh.

Shame, that.

2003-10-12T13:13:00.000-07:00

Okay, I miss this blog and am getting all HP obsessed again, so I'm just going to post, even if everyone else has abandoned the poor blog. *pats poor blog*

Okay. Ahem. That had to be said. For tragedy's sake.

Anyway, am reading our archives. And . . . look at this!

Emma Thompson can play Trelawny or Rita Skeeter. . .

Milla is psychic. She really is. That is the only possible explanation. *nods wisely*

Or . . . okay, there's that whole 'coincidence' thing, but really, what fun is that?

So yes. I posted something. For the poor blog's sake.

Pity the poor blog.

2003-09-01T15:03:00.000-07:00

So, y'know, in five hundred years or so, it'll wake up all rested and . . .

Yeah.

2003-08-13T13:09:00.000-07:00

It's kinda like... Rip Van Winkle.

Yeah.

2003-08-11T15:58:00.000-07:00

It's been sleeping for an awfully long time, hasn't it?

2003-07-21T17:52:00.000-07:00

It's not dead! It's sleeping!

*pats the sleeping blog*

2003-07-21T09:54:00.000-07:00

Live ooooon!

Sniffle.

Poor, chronically ill blog.

2003-07-18T10:13:00.000-07:00

*pokes blog* Is you dead?

Be alive! Breathe!

2003-07-06T22:24:00.000-07:00

I'm SQ-ing yet again, and one of the threads got me a bit unnerved at a part of the prophecy:

...AND EITHER MUST DIE AT THE HAND OF THE OTHER FOR NEITHER CAN LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES...

It just struck me that since Harry has bits of Voldemort in himself, as explained in CoS, then would he not be able to live even if he defeated Voldemort because parts of Voldemort survive?

. . . I'm almost confusing myself.

And whoohoo, Sinistra is a witch! It's very nice to have verification on that, as if it turned out that Sinistra was a wizard after we'd paired HER with Snape so very often, I think I may have been forced to be scarred for life.

2003-07-05T10:50:00.000-07:00

Lookie, lookie, there IS evidence that Sinistra MUST be a witch. Since HP Lexion doesn't allow c'n'p-ing and I'm too lazy to type all of it out, go here and scroll down until you get to the section entitled "Notes on the ratio of male to female staff members at Hogwarts."

And btw, v. cute fanart. And who says that Sev can even manage to handle her now?

2003-07-04T23:31:00.000-07:00

Hello, hello!

I felt compelled to let you know there is a song about HP, for those who did not already figure this out. (I might just be behind on the news.) It's called an Ode to Harry Potter by Switchblade Kittens and it's from Ginny's point of view.

It's positively adorable. *goes all fangirl-ish over G/H* . . . I think this fangirl business is becoming a habit. How depressing!

Anyway, it's on Kazaa for those of you who have it. :-)

2003-07-01T18:05:00.000-07:00

Somebody just emailed me some fanart featuring our own beloved Auriga that they drew, and I thought it was rather cute, so now everyone can go see here.

She's just getting so popular, that one. It's going to go to her head.

And how will Sevviekins be able to handle her then?

:-)

2003-07-01T17:58:00.000-07:00

Go Cryssa! Quite zee accomplishment, if I do say so myself.

:-)

2003-06-30T20:14:00.000-07:00

Oh, wow. I find that so odd. I didn't even make the connection!

And then, when I quickly read this post yesterday I accidently saw it as Albus instead of Aberforth. I thought this was odd and when I was supposed to be listening to Shavonne read OotP I drifted off in deep, Harry Potter-related thoughts and then it hit me. . .

YOU SAID ABERFORTH NOT ALBUS!

Oh, yes, I'm a genius. :-) And now I just think that's trés schnazzy.

2003-06-29T11:51:00.000-07:00

Bwahaha! Sweet triumph is mine! I was right, I tell ya!

(Er. Sorry.)

A few days ago, I explained to Milla my bizarre and rather unsupported theory that Aberforth Dumbledore was the bartender in The Hog's Head. I'm not quite sure why, but I automatically assumed this when I read that part.

And then I stumbled across this on the Sugar Quill . . .

The Hog's Head bar comprised one small, dingy, and very dirty room that smelled strongly of something that might have been goats. ... The barman sidled toward them out of a back room. He was a grumpy-looking old man with a great deal of long gray hair and beard. He was tall and thin and looked vaguely familiar to Harry.

Oh, sweet triumph is mine. (Again.) I remember thinking the goat description was odd, but I never made the connection.

So . . . now I'm feeling smart.

Right.

*flounces off*

2003-06-29T10:22:00.000-07:00

Some HP reflections I came up with last night while trying to fall asleep:

I have decided *hangs head* that I just cannot utterly detest Cho. Because . . . well . . . her boyfriend died. And it's sad. Of course, she drives me nuts when she flirts with Harry, which is All. The. Time, but still. And I really, really love lovestruck!Harry, because he is just too cute. But I can safely say that he'll be cuter when he's lovestruck over Ginny.

Also - I was wondering about all the cat descriptions with Ginny. I think I've spotted two in OotP - where she 'hisses like an angry cat' when they were talking about Percy at the beginning, and how she's 'curled up like a cat' when they're at Grimmauld Place after Mr. Weasley was attacked. D'you think this is foreshadowing that she's going to become an Animagus or something? It seems a bit cliché, but I was just wondering what else the descriptions could mean.

Lord, I'm obsessed.

And someone reviewed IR begging me to continue. *sighs forlornly* The odd thing is, I've been almost tempted to. (Ignoring the fact that I cannot write it.) But it would be so twiiiiisted!

Hem hem.

And I'll be shutting up now.

2003-06-25T08:38:00.000-07:00

And what would we do without you to read the Sugar Quill forums and explain all the stuff we missed? It works out for everyone!

2003-06-25T01:07:00.000-07:00

Have just realized that the reason Harry always feels that Snape can read minds in the earlier books is because of Snape's skill with Legilimency.

Wow. Probably wouldn't have made that connection, were it not for the Sugar Quill forums.

Whatever would I do without them?

2003-06-24T18:51:00.000-07:00

Whee! The Sugar Quill's back up, and it always makes me love my ships even more 'cause they point out such lovely stuff.

Am currently looking at the R/Hr thread, and this part brought me joy:

"Such a lovely, sweet-tempered girl," said Ron, very quietly, prodding his queen forward so that she could begin beating up one of Harry's knights. --OotP, Ch. 31, pg. 716 (American edition)

The action just strikes me as being so funny in this sentence, as he's being sarcastic about Hermione's rather unpleasant actions - meanwhile, his queen is beating up Harry's knight. And, well, if Weasley is our king, then who ever on God's green earth could be our queen? ;-)

Whee.

Oh, R/Hr, I love you.

It seems on the surface like there wasn't much in the book, but really, it's everywhere.

:-)

2003-06-21T08:39:00.000-07:00

SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs off, clutching her book*

2003-06-20T21:59:00.000-07:00

It ought to be our very own country.

Four minutes according to my computer clock.

2003-06-20T19:40:00.000-07:00

When Fraxxle becomes the 52nd state/our own country, we can live there and there will be big book stores and we can obsess over HP all we want! And book five! And we can head on over to the Church of Gildy and pray to JKR. (Tricky, eh?)

. . . Er.

Sorry.

Milla and I really shouldn't be allowed to talk to one another while waiting for book 5.

We come up with some scary stuff, man.

2003-06-20T09:22:00.000-07:00

*squeal* TOMORROW! *squeal*

*dies*

...

*un-dies, because she can't be dead before Book Five comes*

...

TOMORROW!

2003-06-18T12:36:00.000-07:00

I've already reassured you about the dream. Unless you're prophetic, it just can't be true. You're not, are you? *grins*

The fanlisting does look gorgeous. You can tell how tired I am when I tell you that the previous sentence was originally typed as 'the fanlighting good does gorgeous'. Ummm ... yeah.

THREE DAYS!

I almost read an article with spoilers in it today. I was rather shocked that I hadn't realized it could ruin everything for me. Heads will roll if I'm spoiled in the slightest bit.

Oh, yes. Heads will roll.

I'm off now. I'm too sleep to make sense.

2003-06-18T12:01:00.000-07:00

Nita, I see you've been posting up a storm. And I. . . havent.

1.) Now there's only four days. FOUR!

2.) Oooh, the fanlisting looks superb. :-)

3.) That dream was frightening. *shudders* You're going to be scarred for life, I tell you.

I can make such a short post in response to your three long ones. Ah, what talent.

2003-06-16T12:02:00.000-07:00

My God, I had the scariest dream ever. Ever. In which OotP had come out, only it looked exactly like my paperback copy of GoF (go figure) and I remember carrying it around everywhere, and Tyson made fun of me.

But this is not about Tyson.

Oh, no.

This is about the most awful dream I've ever had! Ever! (Perhaps minus the one where I failed my science and drama finals. That was just terrible.)

Ya see, I remember they mentioned Sinistra saying something to Harry (she called him 'Potter' and was lecturing him, but I can't remember exactly what she said), and I was soooo happy and I screeched, "Ma! Sinistra said something! Oh, I have to tell Milla!"

But then I read on.

(Shudder.)

And Sinistra was old and in a wheelchair and having an affair with Karkaroff.

Yes, that Karkaroff.

And her first name was Penny.

Let me tell you, it was awful. JKR, you know I love you, but if you do that to us . . . .

And then Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny had to walk this insane little puppy around my highschool, and somehow they got out into the parking lot and Ginny got into a car crash, and it was all dramatic and Ron and Hermione had this big heart-to-heart talk, which was the first R/H in like 700 pages.

It was terrible.

Terrible!

I just want it out of my mind!

Gosh, I need book five. Only that can banish the horrors that I have seen.

. . . Twitchshuddersneer.

2003-06-15T23:18:00.000-07:00

Milla! Look!

Er.

Sorry.

I'm a bit triumphant about that.

Just because I'm nice, everyone else can look too. :-)

I have been doing much work on Coffee Mugs today. Do you know how hard it is to make fanfiction archives? All the linking . . . *eyes go all glassy (and not in a good way)*

It's terrible, I tell you.

Terrible.

2003-06-15T17:41:00.000-07:00

I can't deal with it.

It gives me serious publishing issues, as is displayed in full flourish on my blog.

Book five.

*sighs happily*

Six days.

*sighs happily . . . again*

It's all so gosh darned beautiful.

2003-06-15T09:59:00.000-07:00

I don't really mind it horribly much... it's a bit annoying, but I can deal with it.

What I can't deal with is waiting much longer for Book 5. I need it, okay? I need to knoooooooow.

*sigh*

2003-06-14T09:01:00.000-07:00

Nita, will you kill me if I tell you that I still have the old version for my blog as well?

I don't know why I do, but I just do.

Unless it's changed and I don't realize it. It looks the same to me.

2003-06-14T00:32:00.000-07:00

Okay, I just have to write something else.

Because I miss this version so much. So much! *cries* I hate the new one and it never lets me publish and this one is just so great and . . . .

All right, now I'm getting emotional.

Sniffle.

2003-06-14T00:31:00.000-07:00

Oh. *cries happily* This one's still on the old version of Blogger. Words cannot express how much I miss this version.

Anyhooo . . .

Twelve! The sacred occult number! Duh!

Gosh, we're slow sometimes.

;-)

2003-06-13T10:14:00.000-07:00

Well, duh!

I can't believe I didn't see that before. It all seems so obvious now. A sacred occult. . . how could I miss that? ;-)

2003-06-13T07:51:00.000-07:00

I've figured it out, girls!

Are you really for this?

Drum roll please?

*drum roll*

Okay, it's obvious isn't it that the number twelve ...

... is ...

... are you sure you're ready?

Right.

The number twelve is ...

*dun dun DUN*

A sacred occult number that proves to us exactly how deeply involved in Satanatic rituals JKR is. Why didn't we see it before?

2003-06-11T19:08:00.000-07:00

I remember reading that. But yeah... there has to be some kind of significance, wouldn't you think?

...

But, you know, WHAT?

I mean, siriusly, that is a lot of twelves.

And about the PoA ones... maybe she brought Sirius back when Harry was twelve to go along with all the... twelveness. This is going to drive me insane. WHY? I must know.

*sigh*

2003-06-11T09:26:00.000-07:00

That is quite odd. Some of the ones used in PoA got a tad repetitive, though. We know that Sirius was locked up for twelve years and more than half of the example from PoA are regarding that.

The rest of it, though ... weeeeird.

Lots of twelves indeed.

2003-06-10T23:29:00.000-07:00

Goodness. JKR uses the number twelve a lot in the books. I never really realized it before. Coincidence? I think not!

. . . Unless, y'know, it is.

I can't figure out what the significance of twelve would be.

But there are . . . lots . . . of twelves.

Yup.

*nods intelligently*

2003-06-10T13:00:00.000-07:00

She . . . .

She wouldn't kill Molly, would she?

I mean . . . you can't just kill Mrs. Weasley! It just ain't done!

. . . I am suddenly very, very paranoid about that.

Eleven days. *whimpers*

2003-06-08T13:17:00.000-07:00

13 days. Es crazy, how the time flies.

2003-06-06T18:19:00.000-07:00

I reserved one on Amazon.Com, but they said the estimated shipping date is, get this, June 23.

Which is, ya know, just unacceptable.

June 23?

The morons.

2003-06-06T10:05:00.000-07:00

Oooh... very spiff, Nita. See, it IS meant to be. It's as obvious as R/Hr.

... Though, for some people, that's not as obvious as one would hope.

But we know it is.

*bounces* I need to reserve a copy of Book 5. Sooooooooon, don't cha know?

2003-06-03T18:10:00.000-07:00

I found a list on the R/S Sugar Quill thread about parallels between R/S and R/Hr, and I thought it was kinda interesting. So now everyone gets to see it! Wheehaw!

Similarities Between The PoA Cat/Rat Fight and the Remus-Sirius Fight

* R/Hr - the rift was caused when Scabbers faked his own death.
* S/R - the rift was caused when Pettigrew faked his own death.

* R/Hr - it looked as though the two could never be reconciled.
* S/R - it looked as though the two could never be reconciled.

* R/Hr - it ended at a very tense moment, with one party breaking down completely.
* S/R - it ended at a very tense moment, with both parties getting pretty close to meltdown.

* R/Hr - it ended with a big hug.
* S/R - it ended with a big hug.

* R/Hr - there followed a show of solidarity; Ron took over Buckbeak's case.
* S/R - there followed a show of solidarity; Remus agreed to kill Pettigrew with Sirius.

* R/Hr - mutual forgiveness.
* S/R - mutual forgiveness.

* R/Hr - a display of trust. Ron presented his owl to Crookshanks.
* S/R - a display of trust. Remus chained himself to Pettigrew, thereby restricting his movements, and left Sirius alone with Harry.

2003-06-03T13:47:00.000-07:00

Ahh, square one. A pesky place to be.

2003-06-02T21:23:00.000-07:00

I AM POSTING!

Whoo hoo. Are you going to give me anything? *hopeful* I agree, we need a new template. Unfortunately, I can't make them, so I suppose that leaves us at square one.

2003-06-02T15:43:00.000-07:00

For the love of God, someone post! *bursts into sobs*

. . . Someone who isn't me, preferrably.

I think we need a new template. I would volunteer to make one, 'cept I kinda can't.

So . . . yeeeeeah.

2003-05-28T17:11:00.000-07:00

*pokes blog* Is it dead again? How thoroughly pesky.

2003-05-21T21:52:00.000-07:00

One. Month.

2003-05-21T16:07:00.000-07:00

Am posting, look, look!

Am not neglecting blog. *hugs blog* There we go.

I want Book 5 so meeping badly. Siriusly. And Remusly.

Lord.

*giggles at thought of super-religious people reading slashiness in Book 5* Now that would be something grand, that would. It would be banned from all 50 states, save for California and such more liberal places. I would have to move.

We could all move to California. And rent aparments next to each other. And live like on Friends, save for fact that it would be all girls and no guys. Well, we could find guys. Kidnap them, if must be.

Wow, I'm tired. Need a nap. Alas, cannot nap as must leave now to go to Awards Night and then study for finals more. Meh.

2003-05-21T13:13:00.000-07:00

No one else posts. Just me and Nita lately.

Anyway, this is my newest R/S song. I wanted to share.

Love Profusion by Madonna

There are too many questions
There is not one solution
There is no ressurection
There is so much confusion

There are too many options
There is no consolation
I have lost my illusions
What I want is an explanation

And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
Make me feel
I got you under my skin

There is no comprehension
There is real isolation
There is so much destruction
What I want is a celebration

And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good
I got you under my skin

Pre-PoA, of course. :D

2003-05-17T17:17:00.000-07:00

Oooh, you hit the nail on the head, Storm.

I waaaaant that booooook!

2003-05-15T20:38:00.000-07:00

Y'know what I'm looking forward to the most? Being completely involved in the world once more and not knowing what comes next. Being on the edge of my seat with suspense, dying to get to the last page. I want to meet new characters and fall in love (though none will ever come close to my deep love for one Sirius Black) and watch relationships grow.

I just want to read a single page, man.

Hey, apparently some guy got arrested because he tried to sell a copy of the first four chapters to a British tabloid, but the tabloid (rather than accept and be sued for trillions of dollars) called the police. Bwehehehe.

2003-05-15T17:52:00.000-07:00

Giggle. Well, you never know. JKR isn't writing them for a specific audience. She's writing them for herself.

. . . Lord, I don't want to think of how the super-religious people would react.

But oh well!

I'm looking forward to more Ron lines, because he is just so darned witty and adorably sarcastic. And more Ron and Hermione bickering, which will surely bring me joy. And Ginny.

Bring on the Ginny, man.

2003-05-15T11:03:00.000-07:00

It's not dead! But no one continued with the 'things we love about the HP books' list. Silly people. *shakes head*

So ... yes. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Remus in book five. And maybe some Sirius. And maybe some slash. Oh, wait ... never mind. That won't happen. Silly children's books. :D

2003-05-13T21:10:00.000-07:00

*pokes dead blog*

Hello?

2003-05-10T19:22:00.000-07:00

I was listening to Jewel earlier today, and this song struck me as strangely S/S. So naturally, I must share it with everyone. :-)

Grey Matter

I hate you
I love you
Leave
Don't go away
I can't decide if I like your face
Or if I wish it would stray
You're a child but you're malicious
You're sweet but don't remember my name
Heads you win and tails I'm lost
Love equals pain

CHORUS
I am drifting without an anchor
Through your ambiguous region
A strange continent immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by your grey matter

Inside my skin, I feel your tongue
It's telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones
A scrape against silence, a knife across a plate
Makes the sound of need on hate

CHORUS

And I do not understand
Why a woman can't just love a man

You're amusing, you're a real cool show
With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival
You got gold dust in your pocket
You got moth holes in your soul
From too many false teeth and greasy flashbulbs

CHORUS

2003-05-09T16:29:00.000-07:00

'Siriusly' and 'remusly' are siriusly, remusly addicting.

. . . Ya see that?

2003-05-07T19:37:00.000-07:00

Oh gloat away, definitely!

I'll be so happy if we don't have to suffer through a new death. It'll be hard to read about James or Lily dying but I already know they died so. Whew... *sigh of relief*

I smile ever time I read 'siriusly' and 'remusly'. :-)

2003-05-07T08:00:00.000-07:00

If my theory is true do I have the right to gloat? *grins*

Siriusly and remusly, that would be such a huge relief. I mean, their deaths will definitely not be easy to read, that's for sure, but we know they die already. If it's Lily's death I'm not going to hurtle my precious book across the room when a character I love dies. Because I was siriusly terrified of Remus dying and that just wouldn't be right.

And damn you, Nita, I'm typing 'siriusly' and 'remusly' without even noticing now.

2003-05-06T17:18:00.000-07:00

If that ain't beautiful, I don't know what is.

2003-05-06T17:13:00.000-07:00

From this article (Which, by the way, is just . . . not fair.):

The 37-year-old writer, who lives with her husband and two children in Scotland, also announced: “There’s at least one death that’s going to be horrible to write, or rather rewrite."

Oooh, Storm, your theory might prove to be true after all.

Which would be such a relief.

Words cannot express.

And I suppose it's quite logical as well. I mean, in 5 Harry does find out about why Voldie killed his parents, and something important's revealed about Lil, so . . .

It could be.

*dun dun DUN*

Forty-five days. That is truly glorious.

2003-05-06T08:46:00.000-07:00

I would just like to state that as a whole, we analyze too much. *grins*

Here's my theory on the left handed bit - I always assumed the Dark Mark was on the left arm because the majority of the HP world is a throwback to the past. No electricity, etc. And, in the past, when a child began school and wrote with their left hand it was considered a sign of possession or evil or something along those lines and they would be forced to write with their right hand. That was why I thought JKR went with left.

As for Sinistra ... who knows? Maybe she and Snape will both turn out to be evil. Buahahaha.

2003-05-06T08:14:00.000-07:00

A thought that just struck me-

Sinistra means 'with the left hand'. And the Dark Mark is on the left arm, which always struck me as strange simply because right seems to be used so much more often than left.

Do you think this could have any significance? Sinistra's also related to some pretty unpleasant stuff - immoral nature, slovenly, blah blah blah. And the whole serpent thing, in a broader range, could just mean Slytherin.

Could our beloved Auriga be . . . evil?

2003-05-05T16:46:00.000-07:00

Oooh! That was v. cute indeed. :-)

2003-05-05T08:31:00.000-07:00

That was too cute!

2003-05-04T22:36:00.000-07:00

Just had to share this with you girls, as it struck me as being quite amusing indeed. :-)

2003-05-04T19:22:00.000-07:00

Oooh, Dia, that was wonderful.

2003-05-03T20:40:00.000-07:00

In a desperate attempt to write something, I came up with.... this, a Ginny diary fic.

2003-05-03T16:56:00.000-07:00

*falls over giggling*

Oh, Lord.

2003-05-02T21:53:00.000-07:00

Because ... er ... because Lucius can have anything he wants. And we all know that ... okay, never mind. I have no reasons for the dress. He's scary in that dress.

2003-05-02T19:57:00.000-07:00

"It was Professor Trelawney, gliding toward them as though on wheels. She had put on a green sequined dress in honor of the occasion..."

"It's not a dress! It's a sequined sensation!"

How on earth did Jason Isaacs get Trelawney's dress?

2003-05-02T17:33:00.000-07:00

. . . Oooh, that's a neat thought, Storm.

And it would be such an incredible relief, too.

I mean, while it will doubtlessly be sad, it's not going to surprise us because, well, we already know that Lil and James are dead.

Oh, book five is coming.

*bounces maniacally*

2003-05-02T07:37:00.000-07:00

I thought of something weird. Y'know how there's supposed to be a death in book five that was very hard for JKR to write .... Well, what if it's not a death of a current character? What if it's a flashback? She's never really written the deaths of Harry's parents before and I can imagine those would be rather difficult.

Just a random thought that came to me at two in the morning.

2003-04-29T13:49:00.000-07:00

3. Snape in Neville's grandma's dress.

2003-04-28T08:40:00.000-07:00

2. The Marauder's Map.

2003-04-27T17:18:00.000-07:00

All right.

I have decided that to count down for book five, we all must list random things that we absolutely adore about the HP books. I shall go first. (Oh, go me.)

1. Ron's passionate hatred of maroon

2003-04-27T13:41:00.000-07:00

*agrees*

I know the feeling.

And I'm sick. *cough cough*

2003-04-25T22:31:00.000-07:00

It feels like I haven't talked to anyone in ages.

Dears, I am having withdrawals.

2003-04-23T14:02:00.000-07:00

God I love being finished school.

A short fic uploaded here called "Letter Goodbye".

And doesn't she realize that there actually are people out there who want Snape to fall in love with them?

2003-04-23T07:22:00.000-07:00

Right. I'm going to go write my essay now. Just had to post those excerpts. :D

2003-04-23T07:21:00.001-07:00

Q: Can you tell us a little about your character, Professor Snape?

AR: Well, he's a Professor of Potions and the current head of Slytherin at Hogwarts-the school of wizardry that Harry attends, but he harbors a secret ambition to be a Professor of Dark Arts. He isn't that taken with Harry, though, probably because he finds him a little too popular for a first year pupil, I suppose. I think at heart, Snape is basically quite an insecure person, he's always longing to be something else that people would really respect, like a black magician, not just a school master. That's why he envies the more popular and sucessful boys like Harry. He does have his positive side, though, even though Harry's a thorn in his side, he doesn't let it worry him too much.

2003-04-23T07:21:00.000-07:00

Int: One of our internet correspondence wondered if Snape is ever going to fall in love?

JKR: (laughs) Yeah, uh, who on earth would want Snape in love with them, that is a very horrible idea, uhm...

Int: But you've got an important kind of redemptive uhm pattern for Snape...

JKR: Uh, it is isn't it, I've got...there's so much I wish I could say to you, and I can't because it ruins...I promise you, whoever asked that question, can I just say to you, that I'm-I'm slightly stunned that you said that, uhm, and you'll find out why I'm so stunned if you read Book 7, and that's all I'm going to say.

Int: Hmm, this is encouraging...

2003-04-22T13:23:00.000-07:00

Oooooh. *looks around* The template is beautiful. And the blog shall live! *nods* I really do like the new template. Tis fantastically snazzy.

I updated! WEEE! Plugging galore. Once I find links, of course. :P

Here is chapter two of Embrace Chaos and here is (a very short) chapter three of It's Not Easy Being Green.

And Milla, you're almost done. Good luck on everything.

2003-04-21T15:48:00.000-07:00

I. Hate. Botany.

I felt compelled to tell you that, as this is the last time today I shall allow myself online.

Dammir. Just one more final and one essay (URGH) before I'm done.

Done.

2003-04-20T22:25:00.000-07:00

*nods* I simply love it. Mahvelous.

We really should do something like that...

What, I have no idea, but something. :-)

2003-04-20T15:07:00.000-07:00

Well, this template is downright schnazzy! I heart it, Milla.

And I've decided that we have to do something that has to do with counting down to book 5. (61 days, people!)

Maybe we can compile a list of random things we love about HP. Or . . . something?

Hmm.

2003-04-20T07:44:00.000-07:00

But I fixed it! Let's bring the blog back to life, shall we?

2003-04-20T07:08:00.000-07:00

Darn, I think I broke it.

2003-04-19T16:48:00.000-07:00

I've just now read A Sorta Fairytale-- yes, I know, I'm terribly behind. But, wow! I absolutely love it.

Now I reeeeeally want chapter three...

(hint. hint.)

2003-04-16T21:26:00.000-07:00

Speaking of finished chapters... I have conquered the impossible Chapter 11 of SA.

And, in all its defeated glory... here it is for all you slashy girls out there.

2003-04-14T18:50:00.000-07:00

You finished the chapter!

...and it's marvelous, dearie.

*bounces* I think I'm going to miss it though, ya know? 'Twas quite the ingenius work of art.

2003-04-14T12:21:00.000-07:00

And it's quite wonderful too, dahlings, if I do say so myself.

2003-04-13T14:19:00.000-07:00

The H/H is finally finished.

Oh, thank God, Gildy, and all things holy and hot.

2003-04-12T23:43:00.000-07:00

P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
Ahh. I do love G/H.
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
Another of my four only-ways-to-go-with-HP-couples.
Ms. Troxell says:
Super. Which couples are you talking about, H/G, R/H, S/S....Who else?
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
R/S
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
Which is the newest one. *nods*
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
And just destined.
Ms. Troxell says:
I have no idea who that is...???
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
Remus and Sirius
Ms. Troxell says:
...aren't they both guys?
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
. . . Yeah.
Ms. Troxell says:
Oh, Okay. And you are serious?
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
Yes I am.
Ms. Troxell says:
No you aren't. I don't believe you.
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
I am serious!
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
I even wrote one!
Ms. Troxell says:
You are insane.
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
It just . . . goes. Seriously. The character interaction seems so intricate.
P O i S O N E D * H O N E Y says:
I always got R/S vibes. I remember it from the first time I ever read the book.
Ms. Troxell says:
Hmmm. Okay Hannah.... Interesting...

Oh, Lord. I'm getting defensive.

But . . . it goes, gosh darnit!

*stomps off angrily*

2003-04-12T16:28:00.000-07:00

Them were bad deleted scenes.

Baaaad.

'Who am I, Hedwig?' is seriously hilarious, however.

Unintentionally so, but hilarious nonetheless.

And the interviews were, what, thirty seconds long? My goodness.

I did, however, love the interview with Jo and (twitchshuddersneerDIE) Steve Kloves. Mainly because Jo is a genius.

And, of course, because she mentioned R/H. She did-she did-she diiiid!

In this movie we've seen the kids develop from the first film, could you tell us about the relationship between Harry, Ron, and Hermione and how that is developing film by film?

JKR:
Well I think it is developing in the films as it does in the books, which is to say that they are much stronger together than apart. They're much more aware, in the second film, of their particular strengths. So they're more effective and are able to do more complex things like, for example, the Polyjuice Potion. And Steve has done a sort of foreshadowing, that I don't do until the fourth book, which is, you kind of get hints of certain feelings between the three of them. They belong to a slightly more mature person then as well.

. . . SEE?

Yes.

Right.

Well.

I'm okay.

Honest.

2003-04-12T10:14:00.000-07:00

Sixty nine days.

*does cartwheels*

Thought you ought to know.

Oh ... pathetic 'deleted scenes' on the CoS DVD. I was expecting more than that. Although, I will admit, the games are fun!

2003-04-10T18:08:00.000-07:00

71 days! And a summary! And . . .

Oh, I am ecstatic.

Life is GOOD!

2003-04-08T18:23:00.000-07:00

I'd like to quite school as well, just 'cause. School ain't cool, man. Plus, I'd work on my ficcas a whole lot more. Which is a good thing... I think?

By the way, happy birthday Milla! :-)

2003-04-07T10:03:00.000-07:00

Can I PLEASE quit school and write fanfic all day?

Um. . . that doesn't sound right.

Can school PLEASE be over so I can write fanfic without worrying about homework?

And no, you cannot kill IR. I refuse to let you.

Want to write S/S.

Meh.

2003-04-04T18:50:00.000-08:00

Totally, man. :-)

Hmmm. IR is really perterbing me indeed.

Bah.

Does anyone want to kill it? *looks hopeful* Sure, lots of angry reviewers will come after you with torches and pitchforks, but it will be all worth it in the end, as you are helping to preserve my sanity.

And really, now, let's keep our priorities straight here. I mean, naturally Nita comes above all else.

Duh.
