The car, the post office...

urbandruidIt must be our usual mailman's day off, because when I went to check the mail I found two of those "sorry we missed you, you have a package" notices. Argh. The usual guy knows that even though the apartment numbers have been missing since they repainted the complex, there's a sign on our door- and I'm always home.
Our post office branch sucks. It's only open till 5:00 weeknights, really hard to get to, service is always bad. When we have stuff to send, we go to one of the other branches- usually any other branch. So it's annoying knowing my stuff is there, but that I can't get to it. Called Mom, and she said she'd try to get them on her way home.
In other news, the Toyota died when my uncle tried to start it this morning. Hah! Usually it won't do anything when other people are around, which is frustrating. Anyway, he got it going, and is going to take care of getting us a new starter and putting it in. We'll pay him back for the parts, buy him some Mountain Dew by way of thanks... My uncle is very cool.
I just hope that fixes the damned car. Just to be sure we're keeping the Ford through tomorrow, but I'm hoping...*crosses fingers*
And I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
andromakhe has convinced me to listen to the OoP audio clip, so I'm off to do that.
But I'm warning you now, Andromache, if it's majorly spoilery, I'll... why, I'll tell you something worse after I read the book. ;)
update- okay, listened to clip. It's interesting, but frustratingly brief and uninformative. 1 minute 45 seconds, if anyone's interested.
No more spoilerish stuff for me though. That was just too weird.

Date: 2003-06-17 01:45 pm (UTC)Not to worry. Just for you (and, well, everyone else) I'll use cut tags if I post about the book. And I expect that I will. About our ship, though, I'll tell you exactly what I told the gang at FictionAlley- well, maybe not exactly, because I don't have the post in front of me. Anyway, what I told them was that I only see two ways our ship could run into issues with OoP, and I don't think either of them's going to happen.
The first thing, of course, would be pairing off one of them with somebody else. I don't see that happening because I don't think Rowling would pair up her adult characters without first pairing up Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Second thing would be if Severus were to die. Which I *sigh* really think is going to happen, but later in the series, book 7 maybe. I hope I'm wrong, but he has martyr written all over him, poor thing. And while that one presents potential for angst fic, ghost fic, and lots of AU "that SO didn't happen!" fic, I would personally rather skip it altogether.
Rumor has it someone dies in OoP, and I have a whole list of people I don't want it to be. Of course, rumor also holds that it's a "big fan of Harry's", so probably Snape is safe.
I have AIM. AurorDark is the screen name I use now. I'm usually on if I'm online. Would love to talk to you sometime.
