Note: Written for the Guess the Writer/Author challenge over on BlackLupin.org. The guidelines were it had to be Remus/Sirius related; between 150-500 words (oops); and most importantly, begin with the words: Sirius opened his eyes to see... (oops again).


Sirius opened his eyes to the most blinding, what-the-hell, whiteness imaginable. He looked around, nothingness as far as the eye could see. Momentarily disoriented, he stood up. Well, at least he thought he did. There wasn't anything he could use to judge up-from-down, horizontal-from-vertical. Just infinite space.

I was soo happy. brighty18 wrote me a love little Drarry fic. That being Draco/Harry. And I just have to post it here. I hope you enjoy.

( Fire )

Seems I like Season Four so much. Because now I have to post a special...well...post for just it. So, you know the drill. It's under the cut.

UPDATE: I now have my fave quotes up for the episode Death Takes A Holiday.

( Tell me, if it's so terrific, why did you lie about it to me? Why did an angel tell me to stop you? You know what that means Sam? That means that *God* doesn't want you doing this. )

Well, I've been posed a challenge by the lovely brighty18. She had done this challenge and asked if anyone would like to also try it. And I jumped at the opportunity. Now, I'm thinking, why? Because it's so damn hard.

So, I'll stop being vague and explain. It's called the Cliff Game. You're given three people. And you have to chose and explain who you would push off a cliff, one you would shag (and never do it again), and who you would bag (aka-marry).

My three people were Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Cedric Diggory. And my Gods, what a selection. And the decision puts the 'itch' in 'bitch'.

And my answer is waaaay too predictable.

I would cliff Cedric Diggory. Part of my reasoning is stole from Brighty. He dies anyway. And...well...damn it's tough. I always liked Cedric. A really great guy, til the end. Hell, thinking back on PoA, he wanted a re-do when he found out Harry had fallen off his broom. But, compared to the others...well.

I would shag Sirius. Because...duh! It's Sirius. All accounts have pointed to the fact that he's drop-dead gorgeous, funny as hell, and a tom-cat in bed. Of, course, that could be all the fanfiction talking. All that and he probably wasn't into girls. At least not long-term anyways.

So, that leaves Remus. Who has always been my favorite since PoA. And if noone else in the HP world is boyfriend material, this man is. He has "bring home to meet mom and dad" written all over him. Plus, he'd be that kind of husband that would rub your feet and hold your hand even when you've been married for fifty years.

So, that's mine. If anyone reads this, let me know and I'll give you three. (Not necessarily Harry Potter related).

Ooo...I'm excited. I was going though the lists for the guests attending this year's Dragon*Con. And Robert Duncan McNeil has signed on. Ok. You're probably thinking "who?". And he's not exactly in the press. But, he is best known for his role as Lieutenant Tom Paris on the television show Star Trek: Voyager.  I know him as a director for Supernatural. He doesn't have a huge list of episodes as, say, Robert Singer, Phil Sgriccia, or the late Kim Manners. But, he directed the awesome episodes "Skin" and "Bugs" in Season One. The cinematography, mood, and direction that "Skin" was set in was superb. And that was Robert's contribution.

So, yes, I now have another reason to look forward to and be excited for Dragon*Con! I can't wait to meet the brilliant man!

And Duke moves on to the Sweet Sixteen!

Yep! For the first time in three years, the Devils have made it to the third round of NCAA Tournament play--deemed lovingly by the successful as the Sweet Sixteen. And I'm so ecstatic! For these boys, this is a whole new ball-game. And they're going to have to step it up, but remain consistent. Fists pumped, hugs were exchanged, and there were all smiles for the Devils.

 

( Blue devils victorious )

 

I think I've reached that point. That point where I'm waaaay too into this show. Here's my proof: I decided to go though a few databases and collect my favorite quotes from the show Supernatural. And have thus, finally, finished. It only took me two days.

So, I have now completely retrieved almost all possible quotes. Safe to say, I can now be sorted into the "obsessive fan" category.

And, because I can, I've decided to list all of them here. For your viewing pleasure (of displeasure, depending on your tolerance level for me). But, because I don't want this to be a humongous posting, I shall do a few cuts.

So, without further ado, here they are, in black and white...

( Season One: I hope your apple pie is frickin' worth it! )


( Season Two: My daddy shot your daddy in the head. )

Well, apparently, I had too many quotes to be contained in just one post. So, here's a continuation for Seasons 3 and 4...


( (Demon!Dean) You can't escape me, Dean. You're gonna die. And this. This is what you are going to become! )

Actually, in all honesty, I don't think I'm a better person than ten years ago. I wouldn't say I'm a worse person, but I definately feel that I had attributes back then that were better than my morals now. I've grown up. I was fifteen ten years ago and a freshman in high school. At this point, I would've been taking English with Ms. Reynolds and socializing with friends I've had since grammar school and those I'd just met--most notably, Amanda Matthews.

And thus, I've grown up to see the uglies of the world, and have become jaded. I'm no longer that carefree, overwhelmingly generous, happy-go-lucky girl. With all I've seen, done, and experienced, I don't truly believe I'll ever be that way again. Which SUCKS! And though I'm told by my family and loved ones that I'm sweet and caring, I don't see that myself. I'd give anything to be that way again.

Here we go Devils!

My boys are going to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament! I'm so excited. And we won the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) Championship! But that, to me, was kinda bittersweet. Because, we didn't get to play the University of North Carolina (our rivals, btw). Duke was competing because Conference winners move on to the National Tournament (aka March Madness). So, therefore, I don't know how much of a true win that was. Because quoting Kirsten Dunst from the movie Bring It On, "I define being the best as competing against the best there is out there and beating them". So, since we didn't get to play the Tarheels, in a way, I don't feel like we really won. Strange, I know. But that being said, it's pretty cool that they got knocked out in this Tourney, seeing as how they're the number 1 seed in their division of the National Tournament.

(17th overall for Duke, 11th for Coach K)


So, now we're on to Greensboro, NC for our first round against the Binghamton University Bearcats (a NY school) on Thursday, March 19. And I can't wait. Admittedly, I haven't been very loyal to the team this year and haven't watched many games. But, I was in front of the TV when the boys won the ACC Championship, beating Florida State 79-69. Who, might I add, was the team that knocked out UNC.

I've mixed emotions for this year. We're still a young team. In fact, none of the starters are Seniors. But, with that being said, Duke has a tendency to mesh very well and have patented the ability to silently know what their teammate is going to do before he does it. I think, though these boys are gifted in this sport, that it comes down to Coach Krzyzewski (lovingly know to Duke and the Cameron Crazies as Coach K due to the fact that most can't pronounce his name). And to think that Duke was going to oust him after his third season. Ooooh....would they have kicked themselves if they had done that!

So, I'll be tuning in to CBS this Thursday as the Devils take on the Bearcats at 9:40 pm.

Something piqued my interest and I thought I'd put it here. hot_craving, you might really enjoy this.

Supernatural.tv is a site dedicated to the television show Supernatural. And among it's various pages, there's a forum entitled "Virtual Seasons", which contains threads of episodes written by fans. Some are so well thought out and so in style of the way the actual episodes are written, that I sometimes think one of the show's writers is sneaking in the forum in cognito and posting shows that didn't make the little screen.

So, I went to see the new Friday the 13th movie. Possible spoilers ahead.

( Read more... ).

I'm going to be thought of as weird for this. Wait, people already think of me that way. So, okay.

When I was in HS, I came up with this stupid solitary game. I'd write the letters of the alphabet down a page of paper.

Example:
A
B
C
D
E
...and so on...

Then I would go to a book or something and choose a paragraph. I would count out ten words and draw a line between the tenth and eleventh word, thus setting it apart. I would then tally up how many times each letter appears in those words.

Next would be a slimming-down process. I would take the top 10 most-frequent letters. They would move onto the next stage (kinda like a warped version of American Idol or the Miss America pagaent). Then it proceeded to the top 6, then top 3, until finally there was one that had the most.

Yes, I'm not all there. But, oh well. You can't be crazy if you know you're crazy, yes?

I really couldn't resist posting this upon finding it. It's an interview with Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) and Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester). And it's hilarious! So...enjoy

Part 1




Part 2

Personally, I don't think I look like any celebrity. But my Grandmama Tootsie (who we just lost this past July), called me her little Julia. She swore up and down that I looked like Julia Roberts. I never knew how much that meant to me until I lost her. I'd give anything to hear her say one more time, "Doesn't she look just like Julia Roberts?".

Okay. I'm not sure anyone even reads my journal. But, I'm posting this here anywho. So, I got linked from supernatural.tv to Buddytv.com's top 50 Most Eligible Bachelors. And...whew...Oh My God. I don't know who half these people are on this list, but I DEFINATELY agree. These guys are, hands down, beautiful. And I'm especially digging the top 10. Got all my favorite pieces of eye candy represented.

So, because I can, here is the top 50. I shall boldface who I especially like.

( Proceed to eye candy )

1. Harry Potter series: Because since I won't have any access to fanfiction (*shudders at thought*), I'd have to devulge in finding little hints of fanon things in canon (ie the looks Sirius and Remus give each other when meeting for the first time in twelve years in PoA).

2. Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by JR Ward: For it's combination of sex, hot vampires, and action.

3. Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson

4. 1408 by Stephen King

5. The Host by Stephenie Meyer.

Ch 2: Reflections


From the Top

Very simple really. I attended the University of South Carolina at Aiken. And since it's horse country around there, most of the local schools are named in relation to the equines. Well, they call us the Pacers. Which are horses that race, I think. So, I added gal because I'm a girl; then 84 because that's the year I was born.
