HBP, or this is your brain on drugs.

I saw it. I... kinda loved it. :D I think my expectations were pretty low because HBP is my least favorite of the books to begin with, but it was also pretty legitimately well done as far as HP films go.

ANYWAY.

( My spoilerific rambling about the movie under the cut )

+ Okay, FINE. I'm seeing HBP tonight. I can't wait till the weekend and miss all your squee/rant/lulz posts. :P I've bookmarked all your reviews and will add my two cents to them later. And probably tonight, you will get a rambly, capslocky and very-likely biased review from me, such as I provided after OotP. :D

*bounces around*

+ Also, am having serious Azkatraz envy at this time. STOP ALL YOUR SQUEEING. D: D: D: D: (kidding. XD) I hope all of you (and there are SO many of you) who are going have lots of fun! And travel safe! ♥ ♥ ♥

+ I'm debating whether to listen to today's Sotomayor confirmation hearings. Yesterday's weren't exactly good for my blood pressure, and if I hear the words 'wise Latina' one more time I may break something. Preferably Lindsay Graham. If any of you are reading my Twitter, you're probably hoping I don't listen today. >__>

eta: Oh goodie, they're grilling her about her speeches AGAIN. That's okay, the law is boring anyway. ;_;

+ Hugs to everyone who needs them, and I hope you all have a great day. ♥

+ Happy Birthday gnimaerd! Hope you've had a fantastic day. It's fun being f-listies with you and squeeing over Merlin and our respective crushes therein. XD And you got me writing RPF, which is no mean feat. *g* Cheers for being such a cool person, seriously. ♥

+ I've got a rental car while mine is in the shop. It's nice, but I've never had a rental car before, and I'm freaking paranoid about scratching it or something.

+ Whilst out driving and being paranoid today, I listened to my new copy of the HBP score. It's gorgeous in parts; I think I almost like it better than the PoA score which is my favorite of the lot. Anyway I am EXTREMELY excited for the film, which I never thought I'd say since HBP was my least favorite of the books. Oh, HP, my first true fannish love. ♥ I shall never really leave you.

+ Finished reading Kushiel's Dart (first in the Kushiel's Legacy books) by Jacqueline Carey. Highly recommended, by the way. It's definitely not without its problems but it's also pretty freaking EPIC. I love the main character and her more than worthy antagonist; I love the richly detailed universe and all the political intrigue throughout. Moving on to the next installment immediately, kthnx. I haven't read something so immersive in a while.

+ Okay, I'm off. Bingley needs a bath, and I have five-times fic to write, and other stuffs to do. ♥

+ EEEEEEE. Bill Nighy cast in Deathly Hallows! *LOVES Bill Nighy* They're not saying who he's playing, though. Who do we think, Scrimgeour? Gregorovitch? Hmmm.

+ There is a femslash porn battle happening, people. :D:D:D Leave prompts; the more the merrier!

+ I signed up to write an essay on Teyla Emmagan for idol_reflection (it's like ship_manifesto, only with individual characters rather than pairings). *headdesk* I couldn't not. Someone (you know who you are *g*) nabbed Gwen before I could. Not that I won't love rambling about Teyla. <333 BTW, no one's done essays for any SGA characters except for John. And there are NO Merlin characters claimed except for Gwen just now, which is a shame. HP is pretty well-represented but there could always be more. :D If you have a favorite character in any fandom, make a claim and spread the love.

+ Finally, merlin_rarepair is having a Five Times challenge.

Here is where f-list participation is encouraged. Anyone want to leave me a prompt? Merlin/Gwen, Morgana/Gwen, Arthur/Gwen, Arthur/Morgana, Merlin/Morgana, OT4? Five Times/Things/Whatever. Lay it on me.

+ At some point I will talk about real life again.

Being a grown-up still sucks, news at 11.
