All about me.

[lierdumoa]

So I finished OoTP. Why'd you do it, J.K.? Damn it! Now Bitter Water is going to end up all AU. Arg! For the sake of anyone reading this journal who has yet to read OoTP, I'll put the rest of my rant in a link (because it's got *major* spoilers).



She killed Sirius! What will I do! I'm overusing exclamation points! I already planned out BW so Sev could live happily ever after. I refuse to write a whole long involved SS/SB love story where Sirius dies at the end. Now I have to figure out some convoluted way for Sirius to not really have died at the end of OoTP, because I don't want my fic to be too AU. As an avid reader of fanfiction, I know from experience that sometimes AU works, but most times it really, really doesn't.

Well -- at least she was kind enough to me to make it so we readers didn't actually *see* Sirius die. It makes it easier for me to keep him alive without totally contradicting book five.

Though I must say -- I'm so glad she didn't kill off Sev. I was disturbed that she killed Sirius. I would have been deeply emotionally wounded if she killed off Sev. No -- I'm not one of those fanwriters who's madly in love with the guy and wants to marry him (if only he weren't gay). I'm even worse. I think of Sev as if he were me. Sometimes daylight_shadow will read my stuff and tell me, "That was *such* a Sev thing to say." Here, I'm thinking that it was such a *me* thing to say. I think like him. It always sounds vaguely creepy when I try to describe it. I sit at my keyboard writing and suddenly undergo a transition from normal college student to bitter, cynical, sarcastic, and darkly sexual potions master hopelessly in love with that reckless bastard adonis Sirius Black.

Yeah - I was heartbroken that J.K. killed Sirius. But if she'd killed Sev, it would have felt like *I'd* been killed. And that would kind of suck. (Or as Sev would say, "that would have been most inopportune.) *snerk*



I haven't actually been doing too much writing lately. I've gotten a start on a CLex fic but right now I'm not sure where it's going. It's not too complicated, so the plot shouldn't be too much trouble to bang out. I got into a summer program at my college where I'll be able to earn some credits (and the credit's are free -- goodie!). Of course, their free-ness doesn't even come close to making up for the obscenely expensive tuition my family and I will have to pay once the regular school year starts. *Sigh* -- why does my college have to be so fucking expensive? Anyway -- I have a plan for making money. I'll just start my own little business writing custom-made erotica at about one cent per word. daylight_shadow (my beta) assures me I've got the talent for it.

So right now they're piling on the homework. I've got a physics course, a chemistry course, a calculus course, and a persuasive writing course. I've realized that I strongly dislike vectors. I'm also half in love with implicit differentiation. Yes -- I know -- I'm a total nerd. Well at least now you know that some math and science nerds are capable of writing.

I must say -- I don't like persuasive writing at all. Creative writing is much more my forte (though I suppose I'm not really all that creative if all I write is fanfiction).

Anyway -- I really like my roommate. I told her I wrote fanfiction. She'd heard of it, but never read any herself, so I showed her some of my stuff and she liked it. I have some goals now for the summer: 1) get her in on my fanfiction obsession & 2) join her in her anime obsession. So far they're kind of working out. I showed her some of my stuff and one of my favorite HP fics and she got me addicted to the soundtrack from the Cowboy Bebop movie. I got to see the film too (very good -- I highly recommend). Next I plan to watch Spirited Away (I've heard good things about it).

Ok - have to finish my physics homework (or at least start it -- it is due tomorrow after all). Blegh - I'm probably not going to finish it till 3:00AM. Starbucks Doubleshots, you are my bestest, bestest, bestest friends.


*MWAH!*

glad to hear that you're getting into anime. ;)

if you need any other recs, just let me know. I'm an anime freak. *grin* but I'm sure you already know that.

check out "Serial Experiments Lain" if you liked the Matrix, it's a good series with a good plot.

If I'm going to get into anime, then I demand you get into Everwood slash (my new obsession). The slash potential for that show is HUGE! It's full of pretty boys with problems.
