So much to do, so little time.

Let’s hope my own comments aren’t marked as spam this time.

So, is 2006 over yet? No?

Damn.

Needless to say, Amy Is Not Having A Good Year. And I mean that truly, seriously and honestly, and referring to a variety of things that sometimes make me want to do a Hulk Smash:hero: on every object in sight. *sighs*

Anyway, I’d love to get this site back up and running a bit more. It’s almost pointless if no one visits though (but <3 to Lizzy, who I didn’t realize commented on my last entry until just now).

Oh what to do? We’ll see.

(I’ve always wanted to say that. And I promise never to do it again.)

Listen. Listen carefully around the internet. Can you hear it? It’s the sound of fandom exploding on itself.

In all my years on the internet. Of all my love of my “shows” and other things, I’ve never seen anything like this. It doesn’t compare to Dog Doggett debates, or shippers VERSUS noromos in XF; nothing like: OMGnoBombadil? Book rape!/Xena!Arwen in LotR…seriously people. This Harry Potter shit is fantastic.

[More HP talk below, skip if you feel so inclined; also: slight HBP spoilers]

I’m not involved in HP fandom really. I poke around now and again to find what people are saying and on the debate stuff? I just found it amusing. I pop my popcorn, make my tea and chuckle. In distant amusement I’d watch the fights and the theories trying to explain Sirus/Lupin (still don’t get that one), Harry/Hermione etc shipping all of which required more contortions, stretching and reaching than a performance of cirque de soleil.

Me? I was all, dude, she’s [JKR] sneaky, but when it comes to relationships it has to MAKE SENSE. Therefore I chose to follow the one that MADE SENSE. CRAZY I KNOW. So essentially I knew I was right all along (yay, Ron and Hermione!) and vindicated in this book…it wasn’t official, but it was close enough.

BUT it doesn’t end there.

It continued. The whine, whine, “THERE’S ONE BOOK LEFT for Harry to fall in love with her….It will happen!” (….riiiiight).

And then, the interview. Delusional is my favourite word. In sum, Jo finally shoots down what most beings in the universe has known…she says once and for all that Harry and Hermione will not happen. At that? The internet was set on fire. See here for hilarious fun (truly, I’m in tears from laughing so hard at points).

Now people are crying about Hermione being out of character, threatening JKR’s life (TOO FAR people), burning books, taking out an ad in the NY Times crying foul, extreme whinage about being called wrong and delusional (a term quite fitting, I admit)…

Oh how I laugh and I laugh. My stomach hurts, and I’m not kidding.

And I’m also quite smug. I mean, I don’t feel bad. I’ve seen wackjobs be seriously offended and hurt by all of this…and while I feel some pity for them, I can’t feel too sorry because they’ve devoted so much to a fictional couple in a book series. Come. On.

I suppose it’s not nearly as amusing to my regular people who come here, but trust me….FUNNY.

More on other stuff later, this was just too much for me at this point in time. (Which leaves little to reply to for my commenters…sorry :p).

<3 Kate. Seriously girl, I’ve been reading up on those good products and naturally stuff, it does it’s job! Plus it’s better for you to use too. And yeah, I could go back and be in school forever, but I’m drained and burned out from school now, so that’s not in the cards for this year at least. Thanks for the encouragement though…I do appreciate it! <3

(That is from an actual picture too, by the way).

How utterly scary is Lindsay Lohan lately? God. It seems the emancipated look is in these days. No doubt it’s due to:
a) a diet of nothing, aka. not eating
b) a diet of cocaine
c) both a) and b)

So very fugly. And it makes me weep for society. IT IS NOT A GOOD LOOK, MY DARLINGS. No, no it is not.

Mary-Kate Olsen is another freakish celeb too. Her and the Other Creepy Troll-Dollesque One have always had that “eternal 8 year-old look”, but I saw a couple of pics of her the other day. She looked like E.T. dressed up in Grandma Drag. It was frightening. If I had as much money as those girls, you’d be damn sure my wardrobe would certainly NOT resemble that of a homeless person. Just sayin’.

Oh and to no one’s surprise, Britney continues to look like ass.

On another note: You know, I’ve been browsing the internet for a number of years and is it just me or is there like a new trend? As in, once you turn 19 you’re married/pregnant (er, aside from my regular people who visit here)? I’m not kidding. Every site I come across and it’s someone close to my age 23-25 (and usually younger than that), they all have kids and/or husbands. Did I miss a memo?

I’ve been trying to distract myself lately, so I installed a bunch of wordpress plugins. My fave is the weighted words one. See here. Apparently the word I use most is “love”. Who knew? Also the weather one I think is cute. Shut up, it is.

My birthday is Friday. I’m feeling weird about it and I don’t really know why. At least I’m not 30.

:love: to Ally.
