(no subject)

The closer it gets to OoP time, the more anxious and worried I am. [livejournal.com profile] 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 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...
