Nov. 14th, 2002 11:28 pmAww, she's lovely. :) No R/Hr shippiness this time, but. Still. Lots of Ron-age in the clip. :)
:) :) :) :) :) :)
One complaint (and I probably wouldn't notice this if we hadn't practice getting rid of these in speech today), is that she used a LOT of crutch words with talking. "Um" and "uh" just jumped out at me.

Aug. 18th, 2002 10:51 am"I’m serious. I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he repeated. "I want to get old and wrinkly and cranky and bad-tempered together. I want to buy a house together and fight over the mortgage. I want to embarrass our kids because their parents still kiss and hold hands. I want to eat pumpkin pie and dance in the kitchen with you at two in the morning. I want to complain to Ron about how you make us rake the yard every year the Muggle way because you don’t want the neighbours to get suspicious. I want to get owls from McGonagall about our brilliant, mischievous, offspring. I want to be legally and magically bound to you forever. I want to watch Ron bumble his way through the best man speech at the reception and laugh when Malfoy snarks that we’re being sappy. I want you to yell at me because Sirius is filling our children’s heads with things that shouldn’t be there and letting them play Quidditch too early. I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up every morning, marvelling in the fact that you’re there. I want to make love to you on our dining room table for the next two hundred years. I want to kidnap you on the weekends. I want to stay up all night, watching you sleep. I want to have second honeymoons with you. However, for all this to happen, we need to have a first honeymoon."

“Mmmh?”
“D’you reckon we should buy her something?”
“Who? Penelope?”
“Yeah.”
“What do you want to buy her?”
“Haven’t a clue, maybe we could make her something.”
“For instance?”
“I dunno… an enchanted vibrator or something.”
Oh God, I forgot how much I loved being John's co-keptin. I love this person. *snuggles with her teddy bear*
EDIT: *squees for Terence/Viktor/Melle* Their love is ohsopervy!

Aug. 1st, 2002 02:45 amTrisha is so my bitch.
Ron playing Life is just plain adorable.
Ron: Hah! I've got another kid. That makes seven.
Hermione: You're not supposed to want kids, Ron-- they cost money.
Ron: What've you got against little Lola and the others?"
Hermione: ::sighs:: Well, as long as you're this excited about the real thing...
Ron: ::Eyes pop out of their sockets:: What?
Hermione: Oh, calm down, Ron-- you've been sleeping on the couch for the last two months, remember?
Ron: ::Calms down:: Oh, right... wait. We're playing for the room, aren't we? ::Takes two kids out of the van:: Sorry sweets, but you've gotta go if I'm going to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Jul. 25th, 2002 11:50 amMy dad and brother are home! I glomped both of them, and, check this -- my dad has a goatee. For as long as I have lived, I have never seen my dad with any more facial hair than a little stubble.
But I'm sooooooooooooooooooo happy to see them! I have one of my betas back!
*dances around*
And there's going to be a chat with Chris Rankin at darkmark.com next Tuesday. I feel like such a fangirl right now. *huggles her kitty*
I feel like a fangirl, and I don't care!

Spam. Lovely Spam.
Jul. 10th, 2002 03:19 pmI found this... I don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time.
Colin/Toby/Colin (I would be most interested in seeing how that works. Is that like Colin/Toby/Hand?)
Weaver/Rena/Rena (This one, too.)
Nostry/Jeanna/RR (I'm thinking... the S.S. Bitches and Riches... :D)
Zorb/Caly/DMP (Nostry will be so jealous...)
Simon/Colin/Mary Sue (Woo! Now we're talking! Now, is this Mary-Sue as in Nostry and Caly's child, or the Mary-Sue of so many coded fics?)
Irina/Flourish/Barb (What do you think 'a that?)
Caly/Cygnus/Stacey (The erm...)
Simon/Cygnus/Queenie (THERE'S what I was waiting for!)
Simon/Lori/Nostry (Ah, match made in heaven...)
Gin/Heero/Liz (That's really funny, I couldn't stand Heero the one time I did meet him/her.)
Liz/Tali/Liz (That freaks me out.)
Hannah/Flourish/Liz (She must have finally gotten over Legolas. Sigh.)
DMP/Liz/Hannah (The S.S. Beta and Bitter. I like it.)
And then the twosome one, here.
Jeanna/Liz (That won't last. She won't put up with my Linkin Park and Blink 182.)
Nostry/karei (I hereby declare this ship the cutest ship in the fanon.)
Anthea/Mary Sue (I daresay this explains a bit.)
Stacey/Cassie (That came up by chance, I swear.)
Anthea/Anthea (In the words of Mr. Finch-Fletchley, "Oh I think my brain is leaking out my ears!)
Cassie/Anthea (What do we call this one? The S.S. "Snowball's Chance in Hell"?)
Nostry/Mary Sue (...Ew.)
Toby/Liz (Do I know this person?)
Simon/Anthea (...Immediately after which Cassie takes Anthie's head off with a garden hoe.)
Jeanna/Mary Sue (*falls over laughing*)
Liz/Ev (Happy, Ev?)
Caly/Liz (...no, really, I just beta for her and sit on her toes to keep them warm!)
Liz/Lori (I do love the fact that she put Bettendorf in STNE...)
Cassie/Monica (Starling) (That's just too predictable for words.)
Oh boy. Only one complaint. They forgot Neil aka The Elder Wyrm.
Plus, nicked from the entire fandom:
Which fandom character would you...
-- spend the rest of your life with in perfect bliss: Ron Weasley
-- have an emotionally void but wicked hot one-night stand with: Draco Malfoy
-- set up with your best friend: Seamus Finnigan
-- get wasted with: Elder Weasley brothers (Bill or Charlie)
-- employ as a live-in masseuse: Oliver Wood (I like beautiful hands)
-- use as a human pillow: Any of them that would sit still long enough for me to lay on.
-- bring home to meet the 'rents: Percy Weasley
-- tie up in your basement and kick when you're feeling frustrated: Fudge

Which Tom Riddle ship are you?
You are Tom/Ginny - and you're very, very pleased with yourself, aren't you? You love being the most popular ship in the Riddle fleet, yet you also get off on being called a sick pervert by H/G and D/G shippers. Go you.
Of course - you say with an innocent look - it's not just a physical thing. You have Issues! Is Ginny scarred for life? Will she turn to the Dark Side? Will she and Tom ever meet again, so they can shag? ...Oh yes, Issues, lots of Issues! *cough*
You're over here, revelling in the fandom's best pretext for writing het Riddle scenes, chasing bunnies for getting Tom into Ginny's arms, or debating the merits of Innocent!Ginny versus Evil!Ginny. Strangely, you never consider Innocent!Tom... but you do spend a lot of time thinking of Naked!Tom. Mmm-mmm.
Yes, Virginia, it really is all about the Riddlesex.
That's me, Standing or Sitting When Not Lying Down aboard the S.S. Gin 'n Tonic.
Rena: I had a dream that a 1337 speaker (nostry?) was stabbed by what I guess was supposed to be Caly.
Liz: I've never dreamed about chat.
Liz: lol
Nostry: hee, Rena
Wolfie: We all got into this huge arguement -- it was about one person, I think -- and everyone was being snarky and bitchy. But I saw all of your faces. Caly, for example, was wearing a crown and directing troops of bread to the field. :-P
Zorb: LOL
Nostry: that wasn't a dream, that was yesterday ;-)
Caly: :D
Liz: *falls out of her seat*
Wolfie: Nostry said "the chat has spoken" and hehed. :D
Rena: XD!
Zorb: *dies*
Liz: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Caly: ::dons tiara::
Wolfie: Oh, and Zorb bounced a lot. I think she bounced over Rena and killed her. We had a funeral. Everyone was laughing until someone with dark hair said "hey! this is a funeral!" and everyone got out their voodoo dolls. o.O
Zorb: *bounces*
Rena: O_O
Rena: *hides*
Caly: ^^
Zorb: *singsong* Oh, Rena!

Neil never fails to keep me on my toes.
Liz was a girl from Kentucky,
Who lusted for a red headed Weasley,
But her passion for Ron,
Her mum said it was wrong.
Now the poor girl is in therapy.
There once was a lassie named Liz,
Who thought that the Boogie-man is,
That Sirius bloke,
But she’s needin’ a smoke,
‘Cause her partner and watcher he is.
Elizabeth spent time at the Burrow,
Watching with her Ron’s brow did furrow,
They were watching the sights,
With the falling of night,
And both commented “Quite a good show.”
There once was a poster named Sager,
Who liked a dragon that made her,
Do things she oughtn’t.
With characters snoggin’,
And earned her the title of Player.
Liz once liked a fella named Ron,
But Neil teases her and makes fun,
Now she spends the whole day,
Trying to make him pay,
For comments made while she was gone.
In other news, am most definitely getting a car. Squee. :)

Jun. 14th, 2002 12:01 pmJust an observation, but I find it quite interesting how the number of Oliver Wood fans in the Harry Potter fandom increased probably between ten and twentyfold after the movie came out. Not saying I'm not one of them, but holy hell, folks.
I'm in a spamming mood today. So get over it.
I'm in a spamming mood today. So get over it.
ugh...i just want to say...will WB stop trying to add things in? that have nothing to do with anything? because it's starting to bother me. i'd also like to add that i hope they fix harry's eyes this time, or i will get angry. i couldn't tell from the trailer, as my comp sucks.
dobby looks like a potato. i hope he doesn't turn into a jar jar, but it's looking that way.
i hope they were just trying to show the new characters...
disappointed,
~****
--------------------------------------
You thought he was animatronic? I totally thought he was stuffed.
I agree with the adding things in -- it just annoys me, personally. And the worst thing is, they probably cut some good scenes that were in the book from the movie so they could make time and money for that train chase sequence.
*cough* PURISTS! *cough*
Some people really need to...er, chill. Movies are not canon, people.

Darkmark.com soooo funny....
No Piers Polkien.
I noticed how there was no Piers Polkiss either.
21st century cars.
Um. I seem to remember Uncle Vernon having a thing for flashy cars.
Meets Malfoy right before sorting, instead of at Madam Malkins Robes For All Occasions.
Still meets Malfoy. Malfoy still a sod. Malfoy still looks down his pointy (but cute) nose at Ron. All good.
Chocolate Frogs are actually real in a sense.
That frog getting sucked out of the window was great. And, "They only have one good jump in them."
They never even get in the car (when running away from the letters).
Implied. Say it with me now, implied.
They delete Herbology, DADA, and History of Magic classes.
They didn't delete DADA. They had a DADA teacher, didn't they? And DADA is where Oliver (*drool*) was when McGonagall pulled him out of class to tell him about Harry being a seeker.
The 1st years meeting ghosts scene never happens. They have a lot more ghosts in the movie then there should be.
Never said how many ghosts are at Hogwarts. We are only introduced to the House ghosts (minus the Grey Lady). NHN was very cool.
Qurriel and Snape Forest conversation never occurs, it actually happens in the school.
Oh my god they changed the location! *uses her Martyr Mitten (TM)*
Christmas Presents scene altered.
I wanted Fred and George to force Percy's sweater over his head. Sigh.
For the Chess Challenge, They don't replace the parts they get on and ride them you could say.
Hermione and Harry don't. They completely replace the rook and the bishop.
They delete the Potions Challenge, Hermione actually leaves with Ron from the Chess game.
Twas considered anti-climatic, I agree.
Devils Snare scene messed up.
This didn't really bother me. Although I missed the lines:
"So light a fire!"
"Yes of course!...Oh, but there's no wood!"
"Have you gone mad? Are you a witch, or aren't you?"
Confronting Quirrel/Voldemort scene messed up.
Er...how?
They never introduce Crabbe and Goyle, matter of fact they don't introduce 3/4 of the characters.
Yeah huh. Unless I'm incorrect, Crabbe and Goyle are introduced at the sorting. And 3/4 of the characters are nameless students.
Lee Jordan looks too much like a girl (that is, they might as well have just made him a girl)
Oh he does not. He's a thirteen-year-old boy who wears his hair in dreadlocks.
Vernon to Grunnings scenes deleted.
No Television Report.
They had the beginning with Harry being delivered to the Dursleys. How much beginning do you honestly want to see?
The Norbert Hatching scene was messed up.
But he was so cuuuute...
Quidditch Alterations, Quidditch Graphics not that good, only one Quidditch match shown.
Quidditch was awesome. It was like the Yoda Lightsaber fight of Harry Potter. They uniforms were much better than what I thought they originally wore, just a robe over their normal clothes.
Flashback to the Killing of the Potter's scene added, they show Lily getting killed but they don't show james getting killed?
Because James getting killed isn't in Harry's memory? Maybe?
They set Harry down on the front porch when he is a baby, light starts to come from his scar, flashes, and the flash recedes back into an 11 year old Harry Potter waking up.
Point...being...?
Professor McGonagall is supposed to take out Oliver Wood from charms, not DADA as they show in the movie.
But see if they didn't stick the DADA scene in there, hyperactive purists might have thought they delete DADA totally.
Prior to the sorting ceremony, Professor McGonagall calls out the students' names first name then last name, but in the books they are called by last name first.
You have to get the director's daughter (she was absolutely lovely, I thought) and the main characters in there.
Dudley falls in boa constrictor's cage and glass reappears.
Hehe. That was funny. My dad thought that was the best part.
Hagrid takes Harry to King's Cross.
"What're you lookin' at?"
What happened to the giant squid?
He was sleeping.
What happened to Mrs. Figg?
Mrs. Figg is a grown lady, I'm sure she's more than capable of taking care of herself.
Neville taking off on broom scene altered.
Oh get the knickers out of a bunch. It was fine.
All of the students wear fezes instead of wizard hats.
While the uniforms rocked, I could have done without the special occasion hats. Gave me too many bad ideas for Percy/Oliver slash.
Oliver Wood wasn't supposed to take out the snitch because it was too dark.
But the people who had never read the books but had come to see the movie had to know what the snitch was. The first time I tried to read the books, Quidditch is what confused me the most.
The bite on Snape's leg appears too soon.
Really?
Removed Quirrel's challenge with dead troll.
Not much of a challenge, a dead troll, eh?
Harry only meets Firenze, not Ronan and Bane.
Good. I didn't like Ronan and Bane in the book.
'Baby Harry' is wearing a blue's clues jumper, when blues clue wasnt around when harry was young. *unconfirmed*
It wasn't Blues Clues. It was little blue trains.
Potions part of getting to the Sorcerer's Stone cut out
As I said before, its anti-climatic, and anti-climatic might work fine for books, but for movies it doesn't work.
---------------------------------------------
Keeping in mind the open spirit that is magic, be reminded that the books are not canon, and have fun watching your movies and DVDs tomorrow. :D

Lee Jordan looks too much like a girl (that is, they might as well have just made him a girl)
Oh he does not. He's a thirteen-year-old boy who wears his hair in dreadlocks.
Vernon to Grunnings scenes deleted.
No Television Report.
They had the beginning with Harry being delivered to the Dursleys. How much beginning do you honestly want to see?
The Norbert Hatching scene was messed up.
But he was so cuuuute...
Quidditch Alterations, Quidditch Graphics not that good, only one Quidditch match shown.
Quidditch was awesome. It was like the Yoda Lightsaber fight of Harry Potter. They uniforms were much better than what I thought they originally wore, just a robe over their normal clothes.
Flashback to the Killing of the Potter's scene added, they show Lily getting killed but they don't show james getting killed?
Because James getting killed isn't in Harry's memory? Maybe?
They set Harry down on the front porch when he is a baby, light starts to come from his scar, flashes, and the flash recedes back into an 11 year old Harry Potter waking up.
Point...being...?
Professor McGonagall is supposed to take out Oliver Wood from charms, not DADA as they show in the movie.
But see if they didn't stick the DADA scene in there, hyperactive purists might have thought they delete DADA totally.
Prior to the sorting ceremony, Professor McGonagall calls out the students' names first name then last name, but in the books they are called by last name first.
You have to get the director's daughter (she was absolutely lovely, I thought) and the main characters in there.
Dudley falls in boa constrictor's cage and glass reappears.
Hehe. That was funny. My dad thought that was the best part.
Hagrid takes Harry to King's Cross.
"What're you lookin' at?"
What happened to the giant squid?
He was sleeping.
What happened to Mrs. Figg?
Mrs. Figg is a grown lady, I'm sure she's more than capable of taking care of herself.
Neville taking off on broom scene altered.
Oh get the knickers out of a bunch. It was fine.
All of the students wear fezes instead of wizard hats.
While the uniforms rocked, I could have done without the special occasion hats. Gave me too many bad ideas for Percy/Oliver slash.
Oliver Wood wasn't supposed to take out the snitch because it was too dark.
But the people who had never read the books but had come to see the movie had to know what the snitch was. The first time I tried to read the books, Quidditch is what confused me the most.
The bite on Snape's leg appears too soon.
Really?
Removed Quirrel's challenge with dead troll.
Not much of a challenge, a dead troll, eh?
Harry only meets Firenze, not Ronan and Bane.
Good. I didn't like Ronan and Bane in the book.
'Baby Harry' is wearing a blue's clues jumper, when blues clue wasnt around when harry was young. *unconfirmed*
It wasn't Blues Clues. It was little blue trains.
Potions part of getting to the Sorcerer's Stone cut out
As I said before, its anti-climatic, and anti-climatic might work fine for books, but for movies it doesn't work.
---------------------------------------------
Keeping in mind the open spirit that is magic, be reminded that the books are not canon, and have fun watching your movies and DVDs tomorrow. :D
