    To the amazing women in my life
    This has been one of those days that I spent about six hours laughing and enjoying life with a joyful and confident woman, and I am once again reminded of how much I am blessed in my friends.  If I have not reminded you often enough, you are beautiful, smart, and dearly loved.  You enrich my life (even without our daily talks).  Thank you for being who you are.

    Really need to get around to planning some sort of reunion...

    Audio HP

    I've found some audio fics.  Still hunting, though.   Good search terms:  "audiofic" or "podfic"

    Corruption, by Beren, read by Beren.  Voldemort has captured Harry and for his own twisted reasons has chosen not to kill him outright. Revenge in the Dark Lord's mind requires a fate worse than death and Harry is about to find out what that is.

    WIP  Drop Dead Gorgeous,  by maya, read by mcollinknight.  Last I knew, there were six chapters.  HP/DM.
    DDG's parallel story, The Way We Get By, is told from Draco's point of view.  It is currently at 2 chapters.  No author descriptions that I can find, so I'll attempt my own.  Harry (veela) and Draco are aurors.  The rest is pure fun.

    WIP Forgive those who trespass by lomonaaeren, read by rhicauldrie.  Harry was convinced he had an ordinary, if inconvenient, life. Then Ron and Hermione vanished into the Department of Mysteries. And it seems the only person who might know where they are is a mute Draco Malfoy.  Four chapters. 

    Reparations, by Saras_Girl, read by 6shotamericano: Harry is about to discover that the steepest learning curve comes after Healer training, and that second chances can be found in unexpected places. HPDM.  Also found on jinjurly's site here.  I think this story is absolutely fabulous
    Followed by Foundations: The sequel to 'Reparations'. When one door closes, another one opens... with a bit of a push. Life, love and complications. HPDM slash.

    Tissue of Silver by Fearless Diva, read by fayjay.  Draco is going to die.  Harry is determined to keep it from happening.  I don't do the story justice in that description, but fayjay reads it very well.  As to how long it is... eight sections?  HP/DM.

    Transfigurations by Resonant: Harry returns to England to help start up Hogwarts again.  H/D.  Maybe 17 chapters?


    WIP Stealing Harry, by sam_storyteller, read by various.  When Sirius and Remus go looking for Peter Pettigrew, they make a wrong turn and someone else finds him first. Eight years later, Sirius owns a book store and Remus manages it for him. When Harry stumbles into the store and they find out the truth, they decide it's time to be Stealing Harry.Last I saw, there was 1 chapter.  SB/RL.

    WIP  A Year Like None Other, by aspeninthesunlight, read by various.  A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. A letter that sends Harry down a path he'd never have walked on his own. It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of confronting worst fears. It will be a year of surprising discoveries, of finding true strength, of finding out that first impressions of a person's true colours do not always ring true. It will be a year of paradigm shifts. And from the most unexpected sources, Harry will have a chance to have that which he has never known: a home ... and a family. (A Snape adopts Harry fic.)
    Last I saw, there were 56 chapters.

    Multiple personality disorder fics...  

    Ambivalent Lucidity by Sakai Michiba.  When Draco Malfoy's mental health mysteriously declines, he is placed under the care of the one person he responds to: Harry Potter.  H/D, 24 chapters, complete.

    Changing of the Guard by Lomonaaeren.  Need a perfect stranger? Come to Metamorphosis. Harry Potter runs the business secretly and becomes whoever's needed for each occasion. Now he's posing as Draco Malfoy's "perfect" boyfriend, Brian.  H/D, WIP, updated every few days.

    Broken Mind, Fractured Soul by SensiblyTainted.  What if there was a darker truth hidden in Harry's story? Summer before third year, Harry begins to question his memory blanks. What happens when he finds himself before Snape for help? 53 chapters, complete, sequel is WIP.

    Jolene by Romaine24.  Harry comes back from a mandatory holiday and finds that an Auror raid on his favourite establishment could expose his biggest secret. However, another has even more secrets than he does at stake.   HP/DM, 3 chapters.

    Me, Myself, and I by EmySabath. Harry has had a hard life, harder than anyone knows, even himself. What happens when Snape finds out that Harry's mind couldn't take the strain and fractured, leaving the BWL with MPD? 18 chapters, Complete.

    Of Padraigs, Werewolves, and Incubi by Ange Noir.  War is approaching over Harry's sixteenth summer, and when he disappears from his relatives' house, rumors spread. Severus is charged with keeping an ear out on the Death Eater side, but why isn't he told to do something more? What is Remus Lupin to Severus? How does Draco fit into all of this? And just what does it mean when young people start inheriting powers based off of magical creatures and finding soul-mates? HP/DM, WIP



    Would love suggestions and recs from others, but for the moment, this is what i've got.

    Pets
    Knowingly or unknowingly, main characters become pets.  There aren't enough of these for me to be picky, so I'm just collecting what I find.

    Bittersweet potion:  Harry's animagus is a cat.  Snape adopts the "stray." novella

    The Company You KeepThe war is over. Severus Snape wants to be left alone. Draco wants Snape. Snape decides a stray cat is a better companion than a Malfoy, given what he learned about both Malfoy and Potter in the days after Voldemort had captured Harry. 1 chapter.

    Crup-tion of the Not-So-Innocent. If you thought that befriending Draco Malfoy would be easier than defeating the Dark Lord you’d be wrong. Harry Potter has to grow another pair of legs and a forked tail before he can break down the frosty barrier blocking the way into Malfoy’s heart (and his underpants).  2 pages

    Cunning as a Ferret:  Brief one-shot.  To get revenge, Pansy turns Malfoy into a ferret.  Guess who finds him.  

    Dark Phoenix:  Harry's animagus is a Storm Phoenix.  He ends up adopting Snape (It's so cute how discombobulated Snape is with the bird following him around all the time), and they develop a rather adorable relationship.  Sadly, it is a WIP, and there is entirely too much "normal" life present after the first six chapters.  I liked the Snape and birdie interlude.  16 chapters as of 2/08

    *new* Endangered Familiar: After the war, all he wanted was some peace and quiet. What he got, was a penguin that brought the exact opposite.

    Everybody Wants to Be a Cat by Lychee. Harry, in his Animagus form, finds himself getting tickled by his dear Potions professor. He discovers some very strange and disturbing things about himself…and another person. 4 chapters, complete, HP/SS.

    The Familiar:  Harry is turned into a frog by a poorly made potion.  Snape takes care of him.  Apparently, being a frog is a calming influence. short

    *New* He was He and I was Bunny: The war is over and “eighth year” is about to begin at Hogwarts. But for Harry and Draco, nothing is quite the same. Harry’s looking for an escape, Draco’s looking for a friend. Does a little black bunny hold the answers for both of our boys?  Four chapters, entrancing and adorable.

    Kitty Kisses:  Will Draco’s new friend bring him the love of his life?

    Life After:  Harry retreats to Grimmauld Place after the war's end. When a white ferret turns up in his garden, things start to get interesting. 17, complete

    Mr. Bunny Comes to Tea:  Post-war, Harry's invited to a tea party. Mr. Bunny shows up as well. Warnings: Cuteness overload and no actual smut, but there are brightly colored pictures.  complete, short.

    My Little Kitten:  One-shot where Harry!kitten gets adopted by Tom Riddle.  Do not read deleted scenes.

    The Nine Lives of Severus Snape:  A black kitten ends up getting rescued from an overly enthusiastic Fang by Remus. short.

    A Panther's Heart:  Harry gets caught in his animagus form and is purchased to be Draco's pet.  31 chapters, complete

    Peorth:  "After Hagrid dropped Harry off after getting his supplies for first year, things went slightly different. Beaten and not looking at all like himself Harry ends up at Hogwarts."  Harry gets taken in by Snape.  Author needs a beta.  20 ch, wip.

    Pink:  Harry transforms into a flamingo and can't turn back.  Snape takes care of him. short.

    *Severus and the Crup:  Postwar.  in a world deprived of magic, Severus takes in a starving Crup. long enough.

    *The Snidget: After the Dark Lord's victory, Headmaster Snape is living under a sword's edge, when hope flies in past his shields.

    Stray: When his son rescues a stray cat and asks for Harry’s help, Harry has no idea what he’s getting into. Or that it’s just what he needs.  Short. 

    The Twelfth Night: A Fairie Tale:  With the arrival of a wild cat come gifts Severus could never have expected.  Postwar.

    Waiting for Darkness:  cute oneshot in which Harry adopts a white ferret



      
    The above are stories I've read and liked.  Always open for suggestions.  Animagus stories can be found at LyraSnape's or Painless-J's journals, should you wish for more generalized forms of this idea.

    movie rec
    Kinky Boots: an adorable movie about a failing shoe factory that finds an unusual niche.  Turns out women's boots just aren't made to support a man's weight.  True story, tends towards serious but with a whole lot of funny bits (and singing and dancing!) thrown in.

    I found this discussion, and completely cracked up.  Had to share, and made people laugh.  A day later, I am still amused enough that I'm actually going to post something on my lj.  Don't stop at the question.  Read the replies.  I don't imagine it's worksafe.

    MCA
    MCA, as painless_j terms it, is "magically changed age".  Another identifier for these fics is "de-aged", but I'd like to add the prospect of aging to both of those definitions as well.

    It irritates me that I can't find an MCA list out there.  Perhaps I'm not using the right search terms.  I've seen baby lists, but that's not only what I'm going for (and there are lots of poorly written baby fics).  I'm just as willing to see something like "Big" or "Freaky Friday". 

    Feel free to help me add to my list.

    Babysitter, by Spye.  H/D.  "The Curses cast on Draco at the end of fifth year are removed incorrectly, leaving him in a state requiring that he be taken care of.  Who better than Harry Potter?"

    Charles Alexander Tompkins by Taran.  Attempted murder, hexes gone wrong and an old man bring Severus Snape back to Hogwarts as a different man -a 16 year old man.  HP/SS, 15 chapters, Complete.

    Child of Mine by Lina Inverse the Dramata.  H
    arry's turned into a baby and the Potions Master is stuck having to take care of him, but now things are different. 17 chapters as of May '06

    The Curse of Fate by Mistress Nika.  Immortal Harry, after watching friends and family die over thousands of years, only wants to join his loved ones in death. Believing he's found a way, he sends himself back into the body of his infant self, vowing to change his fate.  23 chapters as of January '08. 

    Death Eater Takes a Holiday  Dumbledore decides the staff deserves a break without having to worry about things for a while.  And while he's at it, he might as well remind them what their students are going through.  A few more teenagers get added to the list staying for winter break.  85 chapters, WIP

    Decreso Aetas, by Harry's Gryffindor Angel. Summary: "An accident occurs in Charms class that leaves Draco looking after a...slightly different Harry...How will they live through it, and how do others take the change?"  HP/DM; WIP

    Fire and the Rose:  Hermione and Snape switch bodies.  It was an accident, but will Voldie understand?  reminiscent of "Freaky Friday."  I'm not entirely sure switching bodies works, but technically a student must act an adult, and an adult a student.  HG/SS 40 chapters, complete.

    Harry Potter and the Ferratilis Potion: At the Dursleys the summer after Sirius' death, Voldemort sends werewolves to attack Harry. Taken to Grimmauld Place by his rescuer, Severus Snape, Harry devises a disastrous plan to rescue Sirius from the veil, resulting in his being transfigured into a baby. Snape is the only one who can brew the potion to restore him, and is the only one to realize that Harry still retains his 16 year-old-mind. Over the summer and the first two potions which restore him to age eleven, Harry begins to feel that Snape is the only one who understands and can protect him. Is he right or has his deaging muddled his thinking? WIP, 25 chapters as of Aug '07

    An Innocent Gift, by Amber Dream. WIP. Author's summary: "Due to Voldemort's... insanity, Severus is forced to take an unidentified potion. When the effects of said potion take place, what does Dumbledore do? Send him to the one person he feels he can trust of course. Not slash." Snape is turned into a baby. 7 chapters as of June '07.

    The Living Years by DementorDella:  "Severus Snape makes the ultimate sacrifice for Harry Potter. No, not that sacrifice! The other one! And finds Sanctuary in the most unexpected of places."  35,000 words, complete.

    Lullaby of a Dragon by Mysticalsoul.  Something happens in potions, and Harry is turned into a child. Draco has no choice but to take care of him, and everyday Harry gains one year, changing his mind, his outward appearance and his soul.  9 chapters as of January '03.

    Malfoy Child:  by Vorbiza.  Potions accident turns Draco into a four-year-old and Harry takes care of him for the next four months.  21 chapters, complete.

    A Nick in Time by Tira Nog. Harry and Severus, as teachers, end up being turned into seven year olds (due to a meddling spirit). This is not slash. Seven year old Snape is the sweetest thing ever! And so very different from Harry. 

    Tempus Reversit by mskatonic.  When a magical accident in the heat of battle sends Harry and Snape back to 1943, it's a golden opportunity for a fresh start. But destiny is not so easy to escape, especially when Tom Riddle starts taking an interest...  HP/SS and some SS/TR.  I hate evil Riddle.  3 chapters, complete.

    To The Moon by Constant Viligance.  Some angst, but so sweet and happy. Draco gets cursed, and turns into a five-year-old... he stays at hogwarts for the summer, Harry takes care of cute little Draco. HP/DM, complete, 5 chapters.

    Reincarnated by WingsofaDream.  Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord in his Fourth Year and lost his own life in the process. However, he came back as the son of a high ranking pureblood noble and he remembers everything from his last life. HP/DM, complete, 26 chapters.

    Remembrance and Renewal by Avatar Arkmage and Nigel T When the negligence of the Dursleys nearly kills Harry, his soul wanders, and discovers truths about Severus Snape, his true father. Can they now unite against a common foe, or are their wounds too deep? No pairings.

    Interesting movies
    Movies i've enjoyed recently (It happens rarely enough that I check something out or go out to see a movie):

    Keeping Mum: fabulous film that resembles Arsenic and Old Lace, in a way.  About a dysfunctional family living somewhere in a small town in england: a father who is too caught up in being a preacher to notice anything going on, including the fact that his wife is dragging their mostly undressed daughter out of cars with strange boys, a mother who is having an affair, and a little brother who gets beaten up regularly.  And then we have the new housekeeper.  Who has a permanently cheerful attitude and a very unique method of fixing problems.  And what ever happened to the murderess we meet at the beginning of the film who, years ago,  chopped up both her cheating husband and his mistress, then carried them in her trunk across England before getting caught?  It's got some serious bits, but we also have light-hearted fluffiness and lots of laughs.

    Premonition: I actually liked Sandra's new film, despite the confusing time sequence.  Sandra lives through a very intense week in which her husband dies, but she lives through it non-cronologically.  She experiences thursday, then tuesday, then friday, etc, which confuses the heck out of her as she tries to fill in the blanks and figure out what to do about it.  Best watched with a group of people, so that you can be amused by asking "so what day is it now?" and trying to figure out what happened "yesterday" which will actually happen "tomorrow."  It keeps you thinking, and is good at keeping groups of people involved in trying to figure out what's happening.  Renee's friend's cousin says he's going to buy the movie, split it, and put it in cronological order, so we can see how everyone else sees sandra (no wonder they think she's nuts).  Definitely a drama.

    Akeelah and the Bee was a highly entertaining story about a little girl who can spell.  contrast her to the kids from the rich school... i went to school with some kids like that in high school.  It's adorable.

    Take the Lead: Antonio teaches ballroom dance to really rich kids.  I think he's kinda bored with the spoiled perfectionists.  Then he watches kids from an inner-city public school smash up a car.  He goes to the school to find out more without revealing anything, and ends up in charge of the kids in detention.  Trying to teach kids who wont listen to anything how to do ballroom dance is a unique experience.  Quite enjoyable.

    Little Sister's going to college

    Renee's accepted to Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, Agnes Scott, John's Hopkins, and GA Tech.  You have to see this, from BMC... it's adorable! http://64.158.139.130/emtImpress/brynMawr/openCampus/openCampus.html


    She is going to GA Tech.

    Draco Abuse
    I fear my draco abuse list has been expanded to other characters.

    Draco Abuse:
    I am particularly fond of Draco Abuse fics. I love reading the fics where the author has deprived him of sight, sound, limbs, mind, etc. I'm slowly compiling the stories I've read; this is far from a comprehensive list.  I read too much, and just can't remember...  I am restricting my list to stories that I can read (plentiful mistakes/poor story line irritates me), and what I have so far are stories that I've kept b/c I've enjoyed them.  I welcome suggestions, though.

    A Thousand Beautiful things: Ok, so this one isn't taken forcefully. Draco still has to learn to live life without speaking. Due to evil fathers' curses, drastic measures must be taken. Is strongly reminiscent of the story of the 7 brothers who were turned into swans and their sister, who was determined to save them. Mute, H/D, Complete

    Ambivalent Lucidity: Poor Draco's lost both his parents, and not long after that, his mind went as well. MPD, H/D, WIP 

    Blood and Nails: Draco is missing years of his life.  It's more of a mystery story.  H/D.

    Concubine: Draco is a Concubine, a magical creature something like a veela, but will actually conform to its mate's wishes.  After being subjected to years of slavery to the Dark Lord, Harry finally gets around to killing the evil b. and rescuing Draco.  WIP

    Conquering the darkness: Draco is blind.  it's sweet.  HP/DM. finally finished!!

    Cunning as a ferret:  To get revenge on Draco Malfoy, Pansy turns him into a ferret. Ferret-Mafoy runs off into the school where he is found by the one person he least wants to find him.  So it's fluffier than most of the things in this list.  I'm still debating whether or not it fits.

    Depths of Winter: Harry is living an ordinary muggle life, which is disrupted by a rather terrible crash. Draco is paralyzed, H/D, Complete

    Draco in Darkness: Draco is blind. Harry notices the reading charm is rather monotonous, and keeps putting Draco to sleep. He decides to take over. Blind, H/D, Complete

    Dream that the Gods are Good: Voldemort's destruction has disastrous consequences on more personal levels than the wizarding world in general. Spell damage, H/D, WIP

    Forgive those who Tresspass: Harry was convinced he had an ordinary, if inconvenient, life. Then Ron and Hermione vanished into the Department of Mysteries. And it seems the only person who might know where they are is a mute Draco Malfoy. Featuring Pensieves, mutilation, torture, orientation denial, and other fun things. H/D, 34chap Complete

    Intended: Silly Draco, brewing potions for the Dark Lord and thinking it will all go as plan. When does it ever go as planned when it comes to Harry Potter? Mate, H/D, Complete

    Irresistible Poison: Draco accidentally doses himself with a potion. love potion, H/D, Complete 

    Knives Out: Several years after the death of Voldemort, a depressed Harry Potter decides to rejoin the world of the living, only to run into his old nemesis Draco Malfoy in a Muggle gay club where things are not as they seem. This one is lovely, but sad. H/D, Complete

    Oathbreaker: Draco's part fish.  I'm not sure why this fits here, but it's my list.

    Oscillate Wildly:  Draco is in a mental ward.  Fascinating, but disturbing story.  Complete.

    Per Solum Lacuna: Linked diaries heal two lives. wounded leg, H/D, Complete

    Promises to keep: Draco loses his legs in a landmine during the war. He's a traitor, Snape's been in prison... and we need some fixing up of some very messed up lives. Complete

    Redeem me:  Poor abused draco.  I'm not as fond of actual abuse when it comes to Draco, but in this story he has a lot to recover from.  H/D, Complete

    Rejoicing In their Strength: I'm hesitant to add draco abuse of the real abuse kind, but this one was calling to me.  Lucius went mad after the war, and he has killed Narcissa and confined Draco to Malfoy Manor while he does magical experiments on him. Draco escapes at times by astral travel. During one of his journeys, he is astonished to find Harry Potter, who vanished after the war, living in the Forest of Dean.  H/D, currently four chapters, but this author updates every few days and hasn't left a WIP yet.

    Thicker than Blood: Draco needs a magical link with someone else to live. wounded, H/D, Complete

    To the Moon: Draco's been turned into a child. It's incredibly sweet... MCA, H/D (not chan), Complete

    Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: Draco's lost his memory, and no one knows what he's given up except him. He'd better remember fast, because he's the only one who can protect himself. Memory loss, H/D, Complete

    Waters of March: The war is over. The main casualties? Snape and Draco. One is dead, the other is... unresponsive. Spell-damage/coma, H/D, complete



    Harry Abuse: Similar to Draco abuse, but also includes home life abuse if it is extreme.

    Blinded by the Dark: Blinded due to the Dursleys. Snape ends up taking him in. Blind, no slash, permanent WIP?

    Broken Mind, Fractured Soul: Beautifully written story which starts when Harry is still young, and due to his treatment at the hands of many different people, his mind slowly fractures into many different personalities. MPD, H/D, Complete with Sequel WIP

    Damaged: Voldie won. He took over. He made Harry his... pet? personal torture toy? Draco makes plans towards remedying the situation. Issues, H/D, WIP 

    Equilibrium:  When Harry comes to Hogwarts, Snape has to reevaluate first impressions.  We have history of abuse.  Complete, sequel is WIP.

    Incurable: Harry has not only been abused by the Dursleys, but has also been sent off to a school for juvenile delinquents. He's found not too terribly long after. AU, Abuse, H/D, WIP

    Punished: Harry is saved by an unlikely hero. legitimate abuse, H/D, complete 

    A Reckless Frame of Mind:  Harry is cursed: he's forced to always tell the truth, but the spell will make everyone think he's lying.  Perhaps Psyche Diver Draco can fix the problem.  H/D, 13 chapters, complete

    A Secret History:  Another of Warholhp's very powerful stories.  Turns out Harry has forgotten a lot, but as he remembers, it is explained.  H/D, 5 chapters, complete.

    Voice in the Dark: The last thing Harry Potter ever saw was Draco Malfoy casting the Killing Curse. When he wakes, his world has changed. Blind, H/D, WIP 


    Snape:

    The Birthday Present Snape gets ... sick.  Fun with being exposed to rediculous potions mistakes every day, and between that and everything else that's going on, it's way too much.  Complete, 85 chapters 

    Lack of Morals by Kat Reitz and Tzigane.  "He'll sort Slytherin, not Ravenclaw." "Well, I suppose someone must sort there."  Let's see... how to describe this.  Severus Snape grows up, loves and loses, and Voldemort is evil.  It ends happy.  SS/DM and others, complete, lengthy 8 chapters.

    So, I finally got around to sorting through fav fics (evil computer crash stole so many of my links, so I am determined this will not happen again).  This list consists of the complete fics.  Now, I had to teach myself all about links and lj_cuts and I managed to teach it to myself in both Rich Text and HTML because my computer is evil and decided to restart itself when I was almost done in HTML.  


    Fics make me happy! )

    Saving Brecon
    So, three possible floor plans for the renovation of brecon have appeared downstairs in our lounge. I personally feel it is a terrible use of space, and isolates the frosh. Girls do not come to our school to be tucked away in what is called a Hall Group on every other floor. Nor do girls come to this campus to a dorm in which they are trying to renovate the vast majority of our common spaces into dorm rooms. Angie Sheets is coming to speak with us from 7-7:30... right when the vast majority of us have work, chorale, class, or other commitments from which we cannot free ourselves. For goodness sake. So, we have a gigantic poster-board petition that this was too short notice and we can't come at 7, how about 10 when we are all free? Yeah, that'll work... oh, well. So, now I've gotta go crash the art studio when it's open and grab enough paper so that we can draw up our counter-proposal, which allows us to keep most of our common space (though the piano may not be able to live in brecon anymore... but they didn't allow space for the piano either, and we're consolodating the space, so hopefully it will work). Then, hopefully, she will e-mail me a computerized image of the third floor plan so that I can photoshop it... this will all happen in the day that never ends... I've decided I'm skipping my first class just so that i can relax a bit... not that it gives me time in any of the places that I need the extra time. And the logic that it's the seniors who are massing together to fight for the dorm is... interesting. But then again, we're the ones who have developed the spirit and the will-power that living at bryn mawr has given us to fight for a cause... And they will not take away our common spaces without a fight! goodness, i hope she sends me the image soon so I can photoshop it and then not have to worry about it as i run around like a headless chicken with all my classes and commitments today...

    You are England!

    You have a very fun, sarcastic sense of humor, and
    people love you for it. But they sometimes dislike you for being so damn happy all the
    time. Grr

    You are most compatible with: Germany

    The next time either of you go into town, would you buy me a package of ... what were they... chex? the tastless little crosshatch snack things... Or grahm crackers. If you'd get me either, i'd pay you back. I bought some absolutely delicious marmalade at the craft fair the Princess and i went to on saturday, but i've discovered i have nothing to put it on. Elfling pulled out grahm crackers, which is why I know I like that on it. I thought, surely those wierd grahm cracker like things mother bought me wouldn't taste so bad if the marmalade were on them... i was wrong. They're still awful. They have now aquired an Eat Me sign in the kitchen. I should check from time to time and see if anyone else manages to stomach them.
    Oh, I have a "hamster" (which happens to look nothing like a hamster... it's just a ball of fluff. but dont tell it that). ask to pet it next time you come to visit. it's a very soft fluff ball.
    question... for the security setting, what's the difference b/w "private" and "friends"?
    Reminders: Speed and 28 days, Princess. Oh, and i've discovered why the choral concert is on a thursday night (april 21st). cause once upon a mattress is on that friday. April 22 and 23 for Once Upon a Mattress (whichever day you prefer), 12th Night April 1st. Oh, and I owe C $5.
    Ya know, i'm amused at this method of writing reminders to myself. I think i may have finally figured out a use for Livejournal... my online memo pad. Test 12-3 Monday, do research paper, quiz sometime this week... I can do it, i hope.
