HP OT #11 b/c we're spiffy and superneato!

[Helen Weasley]

there we go. New thread.

[danyjoncew]

Wow, all the threads are dying, these boards seem so... small now. No DH thread, no Dumby, Voldie, Lupin, Snape threads, no OotP thread, trio, theme park, no 'how was Hagrid's conceived"...

[Helen Weasley]

I know...what happened to our HP fandom? Where's all the Potterheads?
Our board feels unloved.

[Danizinha]

:( That's true. But FB in general has been pretty slow lately. Most threads I post in have only 2/3 people posting, and it sometimes takes days for someone to answer :crying:

[Helen Weasley]

FB just isn't as loved as it once was...poor website.
I just sneezed. But I took allergy pills...obviously, they aren't working. suck. :(

[zealousheart]

Yeah like half the threads randomly dissapeared. *tear* I miss Old FB as shown by thread in Tabs.

Aw, hope you feel better Helen. Colds in summer suck. I've had a sore throat/headache all day myself, just took some Motrin which will hopefully do something. Quite annoying.

[Captain oats 13]

I am so pissed off. I can't even..ughhh. For those who talk sometimes in the current events forum sometimes will not why. I can't even handle it anymore... I have reached my f***ign limit.

[Helen Weasley]

huh what now? I'm a little lost...

[Danizinha]

I feel your pain, Kristy. I sometimes try stop posting there because I only get annoyed, but I stupidly continue posting and only get more annoyed :lol: But don't let it get to you honey!

I hope you are both better :)

[danyjoncew]

:lol: Kristy, it's all good fun. There are definitely some heavy attacks there, but if you can't laugh with them, just ignore them all. I think I've been posting there more this year, cause all the other forums are just so empty and boring :lol:.

I'm gonna watch Dark Knight today (for $2,5, by the way, yaaaay for cheaper tickets on Wednesdays).

[Manon]

agreed kristy. They can say all they want about liberals, but as soon as we say something...ugh, seriously, they're so stupid

[*Twinkle*]

Just don't pooooost there! Makes life much easier! ;) Why fight with someone who don't listen?

And I don't think it's a matter of people loving FB or not... it's a matter of people thinking way too much of themselves and deciding that FB is beneath them. Guh! Seriously.. get over yourself!

[Captain oats 13]

Yeah, I think I am just gonna stop posting. But it sucks cause that is what they want, a full Conservative forum where they can bash Liberals with no price. :( I shouldn't let it bother me but I am sensitive. :lol:

Well, FB is always pretty dead during the summer. Alot of the forums are about shows and they are on hiatus.

[Helen Weasley]

Why would someone think that they're better than FB? FB kicks ass. Crazy people.
It is kind of dead when shows aren't on...wow. how did I never make that connection? :lol:
I'm going to go back to watching Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog for the billionth time now....

[Cilla]

why didn't I see this thread until now? :|

[*Twinkle*]

Because you're bliiiiind, Cilla? :lol: :p

And yeah... shows being on hiatus is a likely reason to why it's so quiet at the moment. *nods* WE WANT OUR SHOWS BAAACK!

And beats me, Helen... but they do. *shrugs*

[Cilla]

I'm not blind!
you're blind!

[Captain oats 13]

We are all blind. :lol:

It's 3 AM and I can't sleep. That's gayyyyyyy.

[Danizinha]

Yeah we want our shows back!!

And a new HP book too :halo:

[Helen Weasley]

I'm not blind!
you're blind!

:lol: I love it. :lol:I haven't heard someone say something like that in years....I mean, other than on tv.

[Captain oats 13]

*sigh* a HP book would be awesome. Or a PREQUEL!! I swear, that 800 words thing was just mean. I want a whole book like that. :(

[danyjoncew]

Yeah we want our shows back!!

And a new HP book too :halo:

And a new Aerosmith CD with extra chocolate mousse on the top, please? 'k thanx.

[Captain oats 13]

You want mousse on your CD? eww.

I want a car.

[danyjoncew]

I want a yoda backpack.

[rachelfan88]

I want Friends back!

[danyjoncew]

I want the connection between relativity and quantum!

[*Twinkle*]

I want ice cream.

[Cilla]

I want... idk what I want.

[Captain oats 13]

I want a pony!!

[danyjoncew]

I want rain and fresh air. Humidity has been close to 20% for ages, I'm basically dying :D.

[Captain oats 13]

I want to not work every freaking night and get killed.

[danyjoncew]

I want the cure for cancer...

... no, screw that, I want a visit from Johnny Depp.

[Captain oats 13]

I wanna go to Disney world. Yayyy!!

[Cilla]

LOLZ. okay, i want it to cool down in this room. it's hot :(

[*Twinkle*]

(Geez, Cilla... you've been wanting summer for ages! :lol: )

I want a nap...

[Cilla]

haha YES I know, but I don't want it to be hot in the room I have to sleep in! LOL.

ooh do you already know if you're doing something on sunday?

[danyjoncew]

I wantto breatheeeeee *would sob if there was water in her organism and air in her lungs*.

I also want Dark Knight tickets, I'm heading for my third try in getting them, wish me luck. I'm gone.

[Captain oats 13]

I want a puppy; I don't care I already have 6 pets. :lol:

Good luck, Dany!!!

[Cilla]

good luck dany!

oooh PUPPY!

[*Twinkle*]

oooh... I want Dark Knight IMAX tickets!!!

Which reminds me.. I might go to the movies on Sunday, Cilla.. but that won't be the whole day. I wanna see Mamma Mia!! Or the DK... And it's crazy.. I only have 12 weekends left here! o.O I feel like I want to do so much... but don't have time.

[Captain oats 13]

Ooh if anyone sees Mamma Mia, let me know how it is!! I wanna see it. :)

[Cilla]

oh, but that'll be at night, right? then I can go to bed earlier and cheat on the allnighter haha!

aaw. but 12 is like... 3 more months! ooh.. actually.. 12 weeks sounds more than 3 months.
YOU STILL HAVE 12 WEEKS LEFT!

Kristy, I saw Mamma Mia, and I freaking LOVED it.

[zealousheart]

You have 72 Days Left. :) (Did I do the math right?)

I wanna see Mamma Mia!

[danyjoncew]

Holly shit,Batman, this is an impossible movie. I give up. Why the hell did Heath have to die and create this hysteria over the movie.

[rachelfan88]

Holly shit,Batman, this is an impossible movie. I give up. Why the hell did Heath have to die and create this hysteria over the movie.

Right, not selfish at all :lol:

You can do a lot with 12 weekends! Oh! I might send you a postcard then, I have to check how long it takes the post to get there!

[danyjoncew]

Oops, I suddenly feel like my sense of humor is not appreciated here :lol:.

Hee, send Mars a Salto Angel postcard!!! God, I've been dreaming about a Salto Angel/Mount Roraima trip for too long now, silly prices :(.

[Helen Weasley]

Ooh if anyone sees Mamma Mia, let me know how it is!! I wanna see it. :)

I saw it last week. it was KICK ASS.

I want to get rid of my Crohns.
since we're talking about things we want....

[*Twinkle*]

But... 12 weekends... it's just.. ah! All of a sudden there's a number on it and it just seems so close... And Maria will be gone 2 weeks before me... so that's only 10 more weekends left with her. :(

I WANT A POST CARD! :bgrin: Teehee...

[Captain oats 13]

Dany, your sense of humor is very much appreciated. :)

Yay for people liking Mamma Mia!! Might see it Wednesday.

[Manon]

i wanna go see mamma mia too
& the dark knight. it came out here yesterday

[Captain oats 13]

Oooh! See Dark Knight! It is incredible.

[Helen Weasley]

Dark Knight kicks ass too. :D

[rachelfan88]

Oops, I suddenly feel like my sense of humor is not appreciated here :lol:.

Hee, send Mars a Salto Angel postcard!!! God, I've been dreaming about a Salto Angel/Mount Roraima trip for too long now, silly prices :(.

Really? They're expensive? From here they're not so pricey.

Marsie PM me your addres =)

[Danizinha]

I want to watch X-Files!!!!! :bgrin:

[danyjoncew]

Really? They're expensive? From here they're not so pricey.

Yeah, stupid long distance :(. Map time (:lol:)!! Red dots being where I live and Roraima's Capital/Mount Roraima... it's another hemisphere ahaha!

http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4708/mapaxn3.jpg

I love maps and globes, I really really do, if I ever cover my wall with stuff, it's gonna be maps :).

Ella, did you see Salvador had the lowest temperature in 70 years? 17,5C!! The poor souls must be freezing lmaaaao. And wtf is up with penguins showing up all along the Brazilian coastline :(:(:(. I feel so, so, bad for them! This world is ending soon.

[rachelfan88]

Oh! Well, yes, I live much closer.

In here it doesn't get colder, it gets hotter and hotter.

[Danizinha]

Really? Salvador? WHY can't I get that temperature here? :lol:

I feel bad for the poor penguins too. Their home is vanishing :(

[Manon]

lol. freezing at 17,5 degrees. that's hilarious :lol:

[rachelfan88]

Well, to this side of the world, that's cold!

How's the temperature over there Dani? Hot or cold?

[danyjoncew]

:lol: I know, Manon, hilarious, the guy on the news was all "... registered its lowest temperature in 70 years!!! 17°C!" I actually loled. But those people's bodies are used to high temperatures all the time, 17 must be cold :-O :lol::lol:.

I want the temperatures to drop here too. And rain. It was cold in May/June, it snowed in the south, rained here, everything was cute and then as soon as winter begins the temperatures started rising, wtf? I'm scared to imagine the summer :-S.

Ella, seriously, last summer I watched a Hilary Duff vlog thing (don't ask) and she was in Rio, said there were penguins there. I was like "nice! I go all the way to Patagonia to see them and they decide to spend the summer in Rio. 400 km from where I live. With Hilary Duff." And people are taking them and selling, it's completely disgusting, I feel like hunting these people and punching them.

[Helen Weasley]

It's freakin hot here...I have my air conditioning on high and I'm still burning....
Of course, I live in Utah, where we have two seasons, winter and summer. sometimes witnter comes during summer...but not this year. this year it's just HOT. :( I miss the cold....

[Danizinha]

How's the temperature over there Dani? Hot or cold?

Mari it's cold-ish hahaha. Well, obviously not cold, but colder compared to the temperatures we're used to. It's 24°C today :lol: It's raining and the wind is cold hahaha. Since we're used to 29 minimum, I'm kind of happy with 24 :lol:

That's really sick, Dany. It makes me disgusted that people actually can sell a poor defenseless creature. I hate human beings sometimes :lol:

[rachelfan88]

Well see, don't complain, it's cold, well colder than here where the temperatures go from 28ºC to 36ºC

Poor little penguins, I had never imagined that you could just sell them.

[Manon]

it was like 28 here today but now theres thunder and rain

[zealousheart]

It's been hovering around 90 Fahrenheit here, which I guess is 32 something Celsius. Yay for Google, :lol:. So hot!

[Helen Weasley]

It's in the 90 degree area around here too....Fahrenheit, I believe. I kinda suck at the whole F and C thing...
I'm so ready for it to be in the sixties again.

[Cilla]

*skips in and makes a random post cause that's what this thread is all about*

[danyjoncew]

But you can't just sell the penguins, it's illegal :lol:. I just really loathe these jerks qwiueyiuqtfj.

[rachelfan88]

Poor little penguins!

:wave: Hi Cilla.

[Helen Weasley]

I want to own a penguin. Anyone want to sell me one? ;)

[danyjoncew]

Just come to South America and a bunch of Brazilian airheads will be glad to do so, Helen.

Random post of the day: can you guys show me a picture of your keyboard?

[Cilla]

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2708254300_a2722f257c.jpg


.........?

[danyjoncew]

:lol: Thank you, Cilla, I'm a curious little kid, but nevermind, wikipedia loves me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout. I can't take a decent picture of mine with this light.

ETA: wait, is that an infinite I see in your 6 key? *childish voice* This is so coooool! And some keyboards have 3/4 in the the 6 key! I bet Jo chose platform 9 3/4 because she had one like that and it was easier to type :lol:. Is it weird that I actually have fun with stuff like "keyboards across the world"?

[Helen Weasley]

Here's my random keyboard picture...
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j31/helenspix/keyboard.jpg
Isn't Norris' keyboard hot? ;)
Btw - my laptop's name is Norris. After Chuck.

[Cilla]

... I'm scared.
It's storming like crazy. Rain and lightning and thunder...

[Manon]

it woke me up!

that was around 6:15am.

OMG THE STREETS ARE RIVERS.

[Captain oats 13]

That looks yucky. I have no voice. :(

[Helen Weasley]

Sad. Maybe you should trade in your cars for rowboats. ;)

[Cilla]

haah, well it was gone when I woke up later.
aw kristy, what happend?

[rachelfan88]

Oh from the evil rain last night!

Did you get any sleep?

[Cilla]

yes from the evil rain!

I did :) I went to sleep around 6:15 and woke up at 12:30 so.. kinda even a good night sleep. 6 hours is pretty decent :)

[Danizinha]

:lol: at Dany and her random request. I'll post one when I take one hahaha. I'm too exhausted now. Just got back from my college reception. It was cool :bgrin:

o.o Cilla that's a lot of water. I hate flooded streets and now it's kind of rainy season for me, so not good at all :lol:

[Captain oats 13]

haah, well it was gone when I woke up later.
aw kristy, what happend?

It's just a cold..In late July. UGHH

[zealousheart]

Aw that sucks. Feel better!

We had the rain too. Apparently the house next store had a fire (with alarms) and it was thundering horribly. I slept through it all. :)

[Manon]

oh man kristy, i had a cold like last week. it was horrible. i got really sick! stupid ><

haha beth, well good for you! i wish i could sleep through things like that.

[Captain oats 13]

Thanks guys :)
Yeah, I can't talk at all right now. I can make squeek noises that sound like words. :lol:

Omg I would not be able to sleep through that. Did everything turn out okay?

[Helen Weasley]

I didn't sleep last night either, but my reason wasn't the rain...It was a hot guy texting me...Like I'm gonna put down the phone and go to bed when someone that sexy and funny is talking to me....
Tired now, though...

[Captain oats 13]

^^Lucky you! :)

[zealousheart]

:lol:, yes lucky you!

And at least you can talk to us Kristy :). Feel better. And yes, everything turned out fine. Apparently there was a possibly that we'd have to be evacuated but the fire didn't spread and they put it out.

[danyjoncew]

Sweet mother of Steven Tyler. Who had the brilliant idea of using the service elevator for furniture transportation while the social is down? I had to climb 18 floors, JERKS. My poor heart!

[Cilla]

OMG EW!
Poor you!

[Manon]

omfg thats insane!!!

[Captain oats 13]

Ok, wow. Poor you!! :(

[danyjoncew]

Ahaha, it doesn't help that I have no patience to take my time, I took less than 5 minutes and got here feeling like crap :lol:. Now I understand what my grandma feels when she needs to leave the house :(.

[Captain oats 13]

18 floors?! That would have taken me a half-hour. :lol:

[danyjoncew]

Oh well, I like it fast and intense (ahahah). Thank got it isn't hot though.

Wooooow, there's a national movie on on open TV right now and people are saying "shit", "f***" and all kinds of stuff... it's 5pm, I'm shocked :lol:. It's hilarious and revolutionary!!! Maybe we're getting a gay kiss soon :-OOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Captain oats 13]

Sweet!!!!! Just for fun they should put on the Family Guy FCC song!!! :D Just in case they complain.

[danyjoncew]

And now I almost saw boobies!!! OMG!!!111!!!1! :lol:This is so shitastic! Honestly, the bad words and outfits can't be more offensive than the awful script and plot :-S. How did those people's careers survive that :-S?

Speaking of Brazilian celebs, apparently Alexis Bledel is playing a character opposite to Rodrigo Santoro? LUCKY girl. And I want to what sisterhood 2, I think it's coming out the same day as Clone Wars here.

[rachelfan88]

Dude, have you seen Warner Channel and the soft porno commercials for the L word and Californication?

Naked girls in the californication one and in the L word well everyone's having sex! At like 2 pm!

[danyjoncew]

Oh God, I knooow! Not only they are doing a horrible selection with the shows they air (TMZ? REALLY?!?!?) but their promos keep getting more sensationalist and superficial. Die, Warner Channel, diiiiie.

[Captain oats 13]

This is why I don't watch much TV. :lol:

Just a question, does anyone turn on the movie network at like 1:00 AM and find it it's porn? :lol: Even worse, sometimes my dad falls asleep after a movie and then we come downstairs to find porn on the TV and my dad sleeping. :lol:

[danyjoncew]

Yeah, Kristy. That's Cinemax for me. I'm always flipping to see if there's a movie and tadaaa, here's free porn, really bad free porn, not even curiosity absorbent porn. I don't get the logic. Like "yay, it's past midnight, so everybody wants to watch porn!".

[Captain oats 13]

I know. :lol: There are some people who just can't sleep and want to watch a movie. And NOT film that requires cheesy music and blond bimbos.

[danyjoncew]

Yeah... I'd say a gripping plot, not a worth gripping ass. Then again good movies are so hard to come by lately. Seriously people, if money is that easy, go help Africa or something ¬¬.

AHHH, your signature and anything with A/A or Strider win at life.

[Captain oats 13]

:lol: Glad you like it. :)

So..Strider fan I see? :D

[Cilla]

WE'RE PLAYING TRIVIAL PURSUIT!

using imdb is permitted, RIGHT?

[Captain oats 13]

Online? :lol: How does that work?

[danyjoncew]

Viggo and Aragorn fan through and through. ARAGORN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Playing what? Man, games make me feel old, I'm like the uncool kid and never played War :D.

[Cilla]

noooo not online!

[Captain oats 13]

:lol: Strider/Aragorn is kick ass. Though for me it's all about the Hobbits. (Sam Mostly)

[danyjoncew]

Sam? Really? How funny is it that he had 398797 kids and became all ~important~? :lol: And I thought Merry was a girl when I started reading ahahaha.

[Captain oats 13]

:lol: I don't think I ever thought Merry was a girl but I can see how you got that impression. :lol:

Yes, I love Sam. He is sweet, funny, and I can't think of a better friend. I adore him and the Frodo/Sam relationship. (Friends of course ;) ) Of course I also adore the other Hobbits, too! :D

[rachelfan88]

Oh God, I knooow! Not only they are doing a horrible selection with the shows they air (TMZ? REALLY?!?!?) but their promos keep getting more sensationalist and superficial. Die, Warner Channel, diiiiie.

I know!! There are too many reality crap shows in that channel! The only reason I tune it lately is on saturdays for the the marathons, and then change it back because it's getting hateful!

The lord of the rings! I saw it a few weeks ago on tv!

[Captain oats 13]

Heee!! This is useful. This LOTR talk is helping to get the HP trailer off my mind for a lil bit.

[rachelfan88]

I liked the movies much better than the books. They were lovely and cast really well!

The books made want to push them off a cliff, it rambled so much! Sorry. LORT book fans, I love books just not those.

[danyjoncew]

Yeah, and making me want to reread the books, but I need to stop rereading stuff and move on to new books, my reading experience this year was basically rereading HP, His Dark Materials and reading a bunch of Physics and Math, embarrassing.

The books are a bit tiring, I know. The first two have some really dull moments, but the awesomeness was so worth it for me.

[zealousheart]

:lol:, I agree it took me forever to get through the LOTR books I was determined though.

I haven't read anything but school stuff and rereads either, it's awful.

[Captain oats 13]

I love the books. I agree they have some dull moments but his detail is just incredible. *sigh*

Of course the movies were brilliant as well. As long as PJ has a part in the Hobbit production, I am happy.

I have actually been pretty good with new books lately. I currently reading "The Memory keepers Daughter" which is pretty good so far.

[rachelfan88]

Me too, I need to move onto new books also, I've read a few out of HP but not enough, besides psychology books don't count. Right now I'm reading Lemony Snicket, they're funny in a very dark way.

They're certainly not books I would read again.

[danyjoncew]

LotR and Narnia got pretty lucky with the movie versions. Fans of the books hardly hate on the movies and most people actually think the movies are better than the books, which is pretty rare.

[Captain oats 13]

I only saw the movie of that. (Limony Snicket):lol:

Well, I am not a fan at all of the Narnia book series. It's very creative but I feel spoken down to as if all the readers are little children. Apart from Edmund, (who I find is the only one who is not goody goody perfect) I don't really like any of the characters.

I did like the movies, though! I didn't love them, but they were more entertaining than the books.

[zealousheart]

I'm reading Orson Scott Card. Has anyone read Ender's Game? That's a brilliant book I could reread and you should all read it but I'm reading short stories by him cause I don't have enough motivation.

I liked Lemony Snicket. They have a weird kind of humor and exciting to the point that I bought the last one as soon as it came out cause I had to know what happened.

[Captain oats 13]

Hmm... maybe I should read those books then.

[rachelfan88]

The books are pretty good, I'm on book numer two, I saw the movie first and loved it so much that when I found out about the books I had to read them!

Narnia is a book for children, so that's why most adults don't like them much, but I enjoyed them, the movies are lovely, I really like them!

[danyjoncew]

I agree, Narnia movie >>>>> Narnia books so far. And most the chronicles aren't awe material.

[Captain oats 13]

Did you guys see the latest Narnia movie? Prince Caspian?

[zealousheart]

I saw part of it, it was good I'll be sure to rent it.

I still think Books > Movies though. Always Books > Movies. It's the principle of it.

[Captain oats 13]

Only with Narnia will I make that exception.

[rachelfan88]

Yeah, I liked it!

I would usually agree on the Book over Movie rule, but I gotta say, some books that are not so good make great movies!

[Captain oats 13]

*hums LOTR theme*

[zealousheart]

:lol:, but even if the books we're...too descrpitive he was still a genius for creating the whole world.

[rachelfan88]

Well, yes of course, the genius are the writers for creating a world, it's just they don't always explain it well, not just LOTR, Narnia has that sometime is this amazing world that because the author decided to make it as a children book it didn't developed as well as it could've.

[Captain oats 13]

The Narnia world is amazing and encourage anyone to read them; They are just not my thing.

[zealousheart]

Well there's the whole Narnia as the Christian book where Aslan=Jesus too.

[Captain oats 13]

Is Aslan supposed to be Jesus? I never caught that. :lol:

[rachelfan88]

Well yeah, it's not for everyone if you're going with the religious approach. But they're great books for little kids, it teaches them great values.

As I understand it, he's supposed to represent God.

[zealousheart]

True, I agree they're great for kids. And yeah that's why he dies and comes back to life.

[danyjoncew]

Aslan is kinda supposed to be Jesus, yeah. I'm an atheist, not a fan of this approach.

[Captain oats 13]

Oooh. :lol: Hmm.. not a fan of that.

[zealousheart]

Yeah it's kinda strange but the books are good as just fantasies as well I guess.

[Captain oats 13]

I like your banner, by the way! :)

[zealousheart]

Thank you! So what else is everyone reading/read?

[Helen Weasley]

^^Lucky you! :)

Even luckier that I have a date with him tomorrow. :D
Hmmm...books...right now I'm reading All American Girl again. Then I'll read Breaking Dawn when it comes out, even though I hate those damn books. I just want to see if she gets changed to a vamp or not.

[Manon]

POSTING THE TRAILER HERE TOO!

http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-gb&vid=bc682eef-e76b-467a-9684-2ffebc997b91&playlist=videoByUuids

[Captain oats 13]

Post it everywhere

[danyjoncew]

And posting the logo here, so some good soul take it and make cool art for the HBP thread :D.

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3879/logoxi0.png

[Helen Weasley]

That looks so freakin cool. I mean, seriously, OMG. I love it. :D

[Captain oats 13]

Yay!!! I knew trailer would bring positivity!!! :D :D

[Manon]

I'm making screencaps =D

[zealousheart]

:lol:, yes now everyone's all optimistic. Yay. And yes someone make art so as to spice up that first post in the HBP thread.

[Helen Weasley]

If someone makes me a banner or some icons, I'll worship you. :D
Or if someone makes me a wallpaper, I'll love and worship you. :D

[danyjoncew]

Awww, look how symmetric Helen's post is :heart:.

I never touched photoshop or any decent program in my life, so I'm waiting till someone uses the caps to make a cool banner for the HBP threads :D.

[Helen Weasley]

:lol: it was pretty symmetric, wasn't it? How very ironic, as i have OCD. :lol:

[rachelfan88]

:lol:

I do touch PSP but what I won't touch is the new trailer :lol:

[Helen Weasley]

Aw. sad. Why so serious?

[Cilla]

what is up with the deadness here?

[Captain oats 13]

I think it's cause all we want to talk about is Harry Potter. :lol:

[rachelfan88]

Ok, random? Uhmmm

Oh! I got it! I only have a term paper due and a final! And I'm done! *YAY ME* 3 more days of torture and then it's a month FREE! :D

[Captain oats 13]

Yay!!! :D

Umm..random? Breaking Dawn sucks so far. Thank god for Jacob. (Please don't post spoilers back, please) :lol:

[rachelfan88]

Yeah, good luck with it :lol:

I finished it already.

[Helen Weasley]

I'll read it, just so I'll know what everyone else is talking about. But I hate those books...Stephanie Meyer's writing style bugs me. I always want to take a red pen to it and edit the crap out of it...
Wow, I'm such a nerd.
But that's okay.
Um...Something random, I wrote up my query letter and I'm gonna start sending it out to literary agents, so someone can represent me and get me published...yea! :D
Now I'm sitting back and waiting for a whole lot of rejection, and hopefully, some love.

omg IKR? i havent finished reading it yet, but its SO BAD

[Helen Weasley]

I read the spoilers of Breaking Dawn...Yeah....Um...pretty stupid, in my opinion.

from the i_hate_twilight community on LJ

I was reading CLEOLINDA's latest batch of links over Breaking Dawn and THIS ONE PRETTY MUCH MADE MY HEART STOP.

"Just got back from Borders, where they took back my book with no problem. Got into a discussion with the cashier about how I was the 15th(!!!) person to bring my book back today. Seems like many customers felt that SM was not true to her characters and her self created Twilight world, and are calling foul."

And:

"I returned mine to borders as well, and there was quite a stack of them in the return pile."

[Helen Weasley]

:lol: I read that last night and I just had to laugh. Especially since I would never return a book...I mean, books are too pretty. and they smell so good....
Even stupid, lame-ass books like Breaking Dawn still have that nice new book smell....

[rachelfan88]

Do you know why people were returning the book? BEACAUSE IT SUCKED!

[BellaBlack]

oh wow...I've never posted in here but wow I didn't know people were returning it. It wasn't that great it just felt too different to me after a certain point..I think I'll keep mine though I wanted to get the whole series and I only need Eclipse so it's no fair :lol:

[Helen Weasley]

I think she got too cocky cause of all the Twihards and couldn't come up with a good enough plot to live up to the hype...
I agree, they returned it because it sucked. All of S.M's books do, in my opinion. God, I hate her writing style.

[Captain oats 13]

I liked the first 3 and I liked the Host...but yeah, this one was not very good. I will still always love Jacob for he was the only good thing about that dammed book. Even if he did get one of the worst plotlines EVER!

[Helen Weasley]

I don't know. I always found Jacob creepy. I mean, he almost raped Bella in book 3...what with forcing himself on her and all. And then she's all "oh I love you too"? So would not happen.
I just sent out 12 query letters, you guys. TWELVE. Crazy. Wonder how many rejections I'll get before a literary agent is interested in representing me....Oy vey, I'm anxious now.

[Manon]

jacob was annoying in this one as well. with all the lame blonde jokes. i mean, really?! guh
i wonder if smeyer hears about the returned books. that would sure kick her off her high horse.

goood luck with that helen!

[Captain oats 13]

I liked the blonde jokes. :lol: At least he stayed normal. He was not weird and creepily perfect (ala Edward)

I still like the first three books. (I know this is different than what other people think here, buy it's true.) I am just disappointed in this book.

[BellaBlack]

Twilight will always remain my fave and I liked NM and Eclipse too this one just disappointed me. So many plots I didn't like.

Good luck Helen.

Should I return BD and buy Eclipse instead? :lol: I only had to pay $17.

[danyjoncew]

*Runs before I hurt anyone's feeling talking about Twilight*

eta *pops back to say it looks like we need a new thread? b/c we're team Rowling! :lol: joking.

[Helen Weasley]

Thanks for the luck. :) So far I've had four rejections, which is understandable...Agents only take about one out of every thousand or so letters and say yes to it...
My copy of BD finally came today, so now I can MOCK. :D Yea!!! I'm gonna be laughing my ass off when I get home and read all of it...

[Captain oats 13]

Remember not to be too mean, there are some people out there who liked the book.

Go Team Rowling!! :D I swear, I don't think we will ever find a more beautiful series than HP. I have my perfect box set right next to me and call me cheesy, but I find it so beautiful. The Characters, the settings, the friendships, the love relationships, the themes, I can go on and on and on. I know this is supposed to be OT but I like to cherish the series once in awhile. :lol:

[Manon]

i like that title! We're team rowling (the only team) hehehe.
I still havent finished it. i cant get myself to read more then a chapter a day *lol*

[Captain oats 13]

Why do you bother? :lol: I agree it's horrible but I was at least curious to see what happens in the end of the series. Why would you waste your time reading something you don't like? :lol:

[Helen Weasley]

I read the entire thing last night before I went to sleep. It didn't take long. As usual, it was an easy read....and as usual, I came up with a new title for the book....which I may parody, just for fun. But I dunno.
I don't know if saying my new title for it will be too mean, so I'll just put it on my livejournal. :)

[Cilla]

I haven't finished it yet either, I probably would have if I had the book, but I'm reading it from a pdf file, which isn't the best way to read so many pages.

[Manon]

why would it be too mean helen? I mean, people can say that they think about it when its positive, why not when its negative?

[zealousheart]

True, all is open. :lol:, you all should have warned me though! I see all the Twilight hype and I've just started the series a few weeks ago. Halfway through Eclipse though I like it. Easy read, sure, nothing groundbreaking but still VERY hard to put down, I'll probably finish Eclipse tonight because I NEED to know what happens. Now I'm sad to hear the ending isn't good. Did anyone LIKE Breaking Dawn?

And random addition: How much does the HP forum overlap the Twilight one? Just curious.
