Yo, world. I’ve been gone for a week-and-a-half ‘cos I’ve been moving into a house with my boyfriend and some mates, so I’m sorry if I’ve missed anything important. :)
There will be picspam of the house too, quite possibly…

Woke up this morning to find myself deaf in one ear. Le sigh.
I thought I’d give y’all an update on my real life: I have found myself a job. In a cinema, no less. I have now seen the closing credits to Transformers around 12 times without ever seeing the film itself. But I now have money. And soon will be able to see films for free. Which rocks.
Anyway. I gotta go attend to my ear…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
God, it feels like the end of an era…
When me and my friends were queueing, we listed most of the characters and gave them marks out of 10 for how likely we thought they would be to die. My rankings were as follows:
Snape: 9
Lupin: 4
Harry: 8
Ron: 3
Hermione: 3
Hagrid: 9
Ginny: 3
Fred: 2
George: 2
Lucius: 9
Bellatrix: 9
Neville: 9
Luna: 2
Peter: 10
How wrong was I? Tonks wasn’t even on the list! Awwwwwww, I get depressed just thinking about it now. :( I think Fred was the worst. I would never have predicted that, much too horrible. I know that’s what it’s like in war, that it is horrible, but still. Wah. :(
Anyway. I strongly suspect that Draco was the character given a ‘reprieve’, and I was actually quite glad to see him alive at the end. I’d never have said that towards the beginning of the series, but still. And I’m really quite pleased that Narcissa got one ‘good’ moment. And that some progress was made on the Slytherins Are Not All Evil front.
Did not like what Hermione did to her parents. Not at all.
Liked the epilogue alright, although I think I may be the only one…
Oh, and ‘NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!’ is the best line in the whole series.
We were at Waterstones in Milton Keynes. It was awesome. And we weren’t too far down the queue either- I was number 298. And there was coffee and people selling t-shirts and cookies and it was jolly good, indeed.
Which reminds me- moving away from HP for a sec- before heading to Waterstones, me and a friend went to see Hairspray, and it’s REALLY good. See it if you can!
Anyway- I had my camera, here’s some pictures:
People milling around
Me sticking my tongue out
The queue. Bear in mind that that tree is on the other side of the building from Waterstone’s…
The queue just after midnight
The books, at last. :D
And now…I’m gonna sit back and watch the explosions.

My brother apparently saw Pete Docherty in a motorway service station. He was surrounded by bodyguards, so I hear. (Pete Docherty, not my brother)
I can’t believe the last Harry Potter is tomorrow. It’s a weird thought. My first encounter with the books was at a school book fair when I couldn’t have been much older than eleven. Damn.
I’m off to the HP party at Waterstones in Milton Keynes tonight. No-one else is going there, are they? :D
I MET ALAN MOORE!
Today! And he signed my books! :D :D :D
*full of fannish glee*
He was really nice, too. For some reason I thought he wouldn’t be, but he was. :D Dammit, where are my Watchmen icons?
zomg SNOW
It snowed it snowed it snowed it snowed. It SNOWED. Dude.
What follows is snow picspam.
Me in snow
Also me in snow (taken by myself) :p
Snow from the flat balcony
My mate Joey in snow
And again
The gym next door
The snowball fight. Oh yes, there was one. Incidentally, there is nothing I am crapper at than snowball fights.
Okay, so after the snowball fight had reached it’s peak I wandered off down the path a bit and took some photos. It’s awesome wandering about in the snow on your own after midnight: it feels like it’s all for you.
Some more photos:
I’m amazed how well this one came out. I love it.
This is the car park of the office opposite us: I wrote ‘S.B. was here’ in the snow.
The canal at the back of the flats, and nearby restaurant. Pretty, eh?
Judging by the noises outside, there’s still people out here. I, on the other hand, should go to bed. :p

| So, you want to make the world a better place? Too bad it’s never gonna happen. Of all the types, you have to be one of the hardest to find fault in. You have a selfless and caring nature. You’re a good listener and someone who wants to avoid conflict. You genuinely desire to do good. Of course, these all add up to an incredibly overpowered conscience which makes you feel guilty and responsible when anything goes wrong. Of course, it MUST be your fault EVERYTIME. Though you’re constantly on a mission to find the truth, you have no use for hard facts and logic, which is a source of great confusion for those of us with brains. Despite this, in a losing argument, you’re not above spouting off inaccurate fact after fact in an effort to protect your precious values. You’re most probably a perfectionist, which in this case, is a bad thing. Any group work is destined to fail because of your incredibly high standards. Disregard what I said before. You’re just easy to find fault in as everyone else! Luckily, you’re generally very hard on yourself, meaning I don’t need to waste my precious time insulting you. Instead, just find all your own faults and insult yourself. ***************** If you want to learn more about your personality type in a slightly less negative way, check out this. ***************** The other personality types are as follows… Loner – Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving |

So yesterday’s creative writing was all about fanfiction, which was a nice surprise. It was a bit surreal, having our teacher explain to the whole class what an OTP was.
And then we all had to pair up and write fanfic. We ended up with one about Pride and Prejudice!Elizabeth meeting Pirates of the Carribbean!Elizabeth. It was four pages long, w00t.
I love my class.
Those bedroom pictures
So here be my university room. Bit boring at the moment- this weekend I’m going to bring my TV and VCR up here (because I want to watch Robin Hood, yo). Might also need a Freeview box for Torchwood, but am a little short on cash.
Anyway…
My bed
My sink
My door
Er, took this one by accident. :p
Now, how am I going to get my TV to Leicester…

Hi everybody! I’m at university and quite enjoying myself. :) I may put up pictures of my somewhat bare room, if anybody wants to see them?
I must go shopping. I lost my knife and fork and only brought one plate along. And I need a top to go clubbing in. And a job. A job would help a lot. :)
(by the way? who_otp‘s drabble tag is pretty close to being the best thing ever.)
