escape yourself and gravity

I cannot breathe. Yesterday was spent in the grips of an allergy attack that made me utterly miserable. Today I am so freaking congested I feel like my head exploding would be a relief.

I'm starting to suspect I have a summer cold instead of allergies.

Benadryl was only mildly helpful last night, so tonight I'm going to try treating it with whiskey. We'll see how that goes.

I need to wash dishes and go through some more stuff. The church is having a yard sale at the end of the month to help fund the fall mission trip to Haiti, and I have three boxes of stuff to donate to that, but I'm sure there's a LOT more stuff I could get rid of.

For that matter, I may have to wrestle with my conscious about the guitar. It's probably worth about $150 or $200, but I could use it to pay off some bills... or I could use it to help clothe a schoolkid in Haiti. *sigh* We'll see about that.

Went to see HBP finally. I was underwhelmed with much of it, even though I found it enjoyable. It's odd how utterly apathetic I feel about that fandom now that I know how the story ends. And it's strange. I never read dueSouth fanfic until the canon was closed. I never read Dark is Rising fanfic until the canon was closed. Is it that I was active in the HP fandom while canon was still being developed? Is it that I still feel the last book was rushed and that there were some deep flaws? Or what?

( A few semi-spoilery-type thoughts, if anyone really needs to be warned about HBP spoilers at this point )

I was just about to go to bed when I noticed my ticker on my profile...And I had to share.






OMG ONLY SEVENTEEN DAYS?!!?!??!

*flails*


I'm not ready.

Dude, flisters!  Why not more squeeing over the Deathly Hallows cover art???

I am going to break down and buy all the UK adult versions as well, just to have the kickass covers.  And 608 pages in the Bloomsbury British edition!!!  That's one page MORE than my Bloomsbury British copy of HBP!

GAH!  I don't want it to end yet, but I still can't help getting caught up in the excitement!


OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!

e_prince_snape is now open!!!

It is opening with the first ever Eilieen Prince-Snape centric fic-a-thon!!!

Go and look!  Write her!  Draw her!  She's a great character and we need to generate all the fandom material on her we can in the next few months before DH comes out!  Besides, severity_softly and thesnapelyone are running the comm, and they're both awesome people.

What are you doing still here?  GO!


ETA: Oh, yeah, and busaikko, it just occurred to me that you should post "As Simple As That" over there, because it's a damn good fic and it also fits well. ^_^
