The closer it gets to OoP time, the more anxious and worried I am.

tarimanveri is saying, 'please don't let [the character who dies] be X', and now I'm afraid of who X is that she's heard about (don't tell me, I'm better off not knowing).

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I desperately don't want it to be- well, several characters, and I won't say who because if it is one of them, somebody might be stupid enough to tell me. I'd have to kill them, but done would be done.

So I'm trying to keep myself busy, plugging away at various things I really do need to get done. But I seem to be easily distracted today. I'm constantly, almost obsessively, checking my email, the way that you do when you're waiting for something- even though I don't know what it is I'm waiting for.

My new Tom Riddle figure glows in the dark. So does the little diary accessory he came with. It's really very amusing.

I need to call the bookstore so I can at least stop worrying about tomorrow, but I'm really not ready to do that just yet.

Anybody else feel like answering five semi-random questions from me?

It's funny, because I've been working on this fic where Dumbledore's been killed... Everyone else is angsting madly, I still haven't figured out who's going to be the new head of Gryffindor if McGonagall moves up... so I very much hope it's not Dumbledore. Though from a writer's perspective he would be a good choice- I think a lot of us would be touched by his death.

Anyway. Questions. I'm starting to think I'm not good at these, but it gives me something to think about, to. So...

1. Your livejournal bio says you consider yourself an outsider. What do you mean by that?

2. What would be your dream job?

3. What are you afraid of?

4. You're a pagan. Tell me something about what that means for you.

5. How do you come up with ideas for things like icons and fics?

Yes, I know it's bad form to ask the "where do your ideas come from" question, but I was running out of other ideas. Sorry. Hope these aren't too strange. :)

It's more than a good idea, it's *necessary*. (I'm a Joseph Campbell fanatic, so bear with me.) In order for the Hero to come into his full potential, the Mentor has to leave the stage. Take, for example: Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars; Merlin in the Arthurian legend; Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Hero's big finish has to be done alone and this means the Mentor either has to die or hie himself off somewhere a fecking long way away. I don't see Dumbledore walking out on this one, so...
