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?

*S* Odd is fine, I know you don't know me all that well. Going to answer these here as well as my journal, becasue well.. I can.





   1. What do you like about Snape/McGonagall?

I think it's because everything I've read/found has been angst, and it's been BELIEVABLE angst. She can also fill a role similar to Dumbledores, without the squick factor. I enjoy both pairings (Ss/AD and SS/MG) but I don't want either one to get explicit. Different from how I view other pairings I've read.


   2. What do you think is your best personality trait?


Argh. Hard one. I'm compassionate. I care about things. I can't stand to see things or people hurting or mistreated or unhappy. I want to fix it.

   3. Have you ever been arrested? If not, could you ever see this
   happening? ;)

Yes. *G* I was arrested for driving without a lisence. I moved and my notice to appear in court for a speeding violation didn't get forwarded. My lisence was revoked, I drove, and I got caught. ABSOLUTELY the most humiliating experience of my life. Handcuffs and finger printing and all. On the upside the state trooper was VERY nice and VERY VERY *cute*

   4. Aside from children and pets, of course, is there one thing you would
   try to save if your house caught fire?


Besides the computer? My teddy bear. I know, cheesey and sappy but I've had the thing since I was tiny. IT's an orange fisher price teddy with leather eyes and no nose and a blue bib with an apple. I *fight* with my children over the bear. Aren't I mature?

   5. Will you let your kids read the new Harry Potter book if they want
   to?

My kids are awful little... So No. I will however read it TO them, with teh possibility of minor editing if things get overly graphic. They have, unfortunately, been exposed to that knowledge that life isn't always nice, and people are sometimes mean. THeir bedtime story to date takes them up through Prisoner of Azkaban. The older gets it and loves it (he's four and a bit) and the not quite three year old follows some of it, but to a much lesser degree. So sure... I'll read it to them. After *I* finish *G*
