Okay, so since I have the time I decided it's kind of a now or never moment with these prompts. You can request as many as you want and can request with just one of my kids or my kid and one of yours as long as they have something to go off of.
( The prompts! ) |

You give me a pairing (or just one character) and a color, and I'll give you a sentence.
Meme = distraction time. GIVE ME DISTRACTIONS KTHX. |

The thread for Leo interrogating Barnaby finally got finished if anyone wants to read it. For once, Leo is ticked that someone is actually being a good respectable little boy at Hogwarts. This may be a sign of the apocalypse. I think it's amusing that Leo's actually have a somewhat normal reaction to his sister beginning to date but still expresses it in weird ways.
Am also all angsty over holding my breath on getting Pansy at ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tallymarks and it seems she was filled before the holds were even open. I reaaaaaaaally want to do a power hungry and eventual crash and burn plot with her. Full blown HBIC bitch-and-a-half personality, totally obsessed with having Draco and The Perfect Life. Comes from a family with a ~scandalous~ reputation and wants to rise back on top by pushing other people down via Voldemort's New Reign. And then when that all goes to shit has a huge meltdown. If she gets dropped SOMEONE NEEDS TO NOTIFY ME PLZ.
I do have another line that I wanted to do with my concept of terroot only as a non-DA Ravenclaw but it sounds like the mods don't want anyone to get recruited so I'm hesistant because I wanted to play him as trying really really hard to appear neutral but giving in eventually and joining the DA. Is that only for the beginning? Because my understanding was that eventually most of the students join the rebellion. So like will more people get recruited as time goes on in the game?
Edit: I think I'm insane. Held Stephen Cornfoot at tallymarks. |

Is anyone a big fan of Alan Moore comics. I read Watchmen this summer and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. I know V for Vendetta is supposed to be good too. I know this is silly but the movie really bored me and I wasn't that into it (granted I watched it ages ago) but was wondering if the comic is as good as they say it is? Or if anyone has a good recommendation. |

I randomly really want to play my Pansy Parkinson again. But I only want to play her in a DH game so I don't see that happening anytime soon. I really hope I get my DH game itch scratched someday. Somehow I always miss the boat on holding the ppl I want. /woe is me
Is anyone in postludesmods? I'm really tempted to try and play my Alice there who would be Minerva. The main thing holding me back is that she can't be Prefect which kind of puts a kink in the way I'd like to play her. Why am I so obsessed with Prefects? Seriously. But really I want to play my Alice so I might have to just live with it. UGH, conflicting emotionssss. |

Leo is done and turned in for feintedmods! FINALLY. I'm suuuuuch a slow apper. And he was already mostly written too! It's sad.
His app is here if anyone's interested: tattingtale
And yeah, he's a big bucket of crazy. |

| 132. Book Review of Divergent by Veronica Roth |
[Aug. 10th, 2011|08:38 pm] |
I'm going to be doing a book review in this entry. IDK why, I guess I just feel like it and this is the only place I post regularly where people might actually bother to respond to my opinions! I don't mind if no one comments though -- basically, this is just somewhere to put my thoughts on it so I can come back to it if I feel like. So I will put my thoughts behind cuts since they are in no way CD and I don't want to crowd up peoples' f-lists with personal ramblings!
( book review (major spoilers will be marked) ) |

Well, bewitching has been interesting so far, I think. I like the premise of it and think it could be a great game but I'd like to see more people!
I'd personally like to see more character who will be fueling the blood tensions again. According to our premise there's an accumulation of people bring up things like purity and the House starting to become divided. I find that plot really interesting and would like to see people who will help bring it into action! So if you're itching to play a next-gen blood conscious character or someone who brings up House rivalry please check it out!!
And then my Alice (blondebadger) would like some buddies too! In her year/dorm especially but elsewhere too. But really more of anyone in general would be fab. There's plenty of people open and you get to choose who goes on the Quidditch team and gets to be Prefect!
So check it out, f-list!! :D |

Alice is maybe like 1/3-1/4 done? Maybe. I wish I was a fast apper!
But right now I'm also looking for a book. Something easy to read, not overly detailed. As far as genres go, I don't really know what my niche is, honestly. I think I care more about how it's written than what's going on. I like the idea of most fantasy/sci-fi but those tend to fall into the overly detailed category. I recently got about halfway through The Golden Compass but I don't know that I'll make it to the end, because conceptually it's okay but the way it's written just doesn't do it for me at all. The most recent books I read that I loved were Life of Pi and The Hunger Games series. I absolutely loved the writing in Life of Pi (and the story of course but the writing was especially clear and enjoyable).
I'm thinking about reading The Help but I'm not sure. Or possibly The Gunslinger by Stephen King. But does anyone have recommendations? |

Okay, I think I changed my mind. Because I have fallen in love with this girl and sadly there really isn't a good excuse for Rose to be blonde. Grr, Canon Parent hair colours not cooperating!!
I think I will make her a Longbottom, though, which can work! Then she can take after Augusta partially and that's just as awesome as taking after Molly. :) She's not quite AS wickedly fierce as Augusta (good god who is??) but I think the nosy/meddling/overprotectiveness can be explained by that. Thinking about holding her as Alice over at bewitching. Hmm.
Pros:
+ If I act quickly I can still make her a Prefect (major plus!! but seriously I think I'm a little obsessed with prefects...)
+ The game itself looks really well run and like there will be plenty of good players there (including Lisa, yay!)
Cons:
+ I sort of got set on her having a younger brother. I was hoping for a ne'er do well Ron-esque Hugo that she could pester all the time but here she'd have a younger sister so it's actually making me hesistate a bit since I don't know if I'm as likely to have the dynamic I want with a sister.
+ I know this is silly but it just seems a terrible waste to not have her in Gryffindor when she's wearing a red uniform!!
+ Seriously, though, I think I'd prefer her as a Gryffindor. But Puffs can be all bamf and self-righteous too, right? I need to get that into my head.
Edit: Alright, I officially held her yay! And now I'm losing my laptop. D: D: Guess it's the desktop for me. *so inconvenient* |

Is it way too obvious to want to play a v. Hermione/Molly(the first)-esque Rose Weasley? Because...I think I want to play one. |

[Jul. 16th, 2011|05:22 pm] |
Okay, soooooo what games are hot right now?
I would still love to be in a trio 7th Year in school game so if anyone knows of some that will be starting up soon, I would like to know! Because I'd like to play Seventh Years and they get snatched up fast!
Or a good Next Gen game where I could revive some of my past concepts that I didn't get to do everything I wanted to with. Like Leo, Bonnie, or even Shelly!
AU trio Tonks AS ALWAYS would be fantastic, but I'm not holding my breath someone will have a lead on that. I MIGHT be willing to consider playing her as someone else though...I'm thinking about it. Maybe in a Next Gen era...hm. Since I don't know if I'm willing to change her occupation or not.
Anyways, pimp away. Even though I will be busy with starting school next semester I think I might be able to handle at least one or two characters! |

Well, here is the official word: I am alive.
And I'm terribly sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth for the past few months. I mean, really I am. I know it's so not cool when people do that, even though I have excuses, of course. If you're interested in hearing them here they are.
( Excuses for those who aren't allergic to whining )
They're really not very good excuses so I don't blame anyone who's not interested in reading them. Just know that I'm sorry for dropping all the plans I'd made with people and that it wasn't out of disinterest or negative feeligns towards anyone at all. I LOVE YOU ALL LIKE MAD AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT!! And even though I don't deserve it, it would be relaly nice to know that you all don't in fact think less of me for letting RL get to me way too much. And once again: I have seriously missed you all. <3<3
And for Dawn and Lisa specifically, I am still interested in the PSLs we had in progress/talked about starting. And I'm sorry we never did our Harriet/Lucy thread either, Lisa. THOUGH WE STILL COULD. In a PSL. YAY PSLs!!! If you still have time, of course. |

I have another long day tomorrow but luckily it will only be sitting and listening to people talk which isn't too bad. But I'm booked from 2 until 8. Blah!
I'm thinking of posting an open thread for Harriet on Friday maybe. Unless Lisa wants to do our Lucy/Harriet thread instead. :D |

Whew. So. Moving out took way more out of me than I expected and I was completely exhausted for that last few days so sorry for once again failing when it comes to my promises of being available at a certain time, guys. :( BUT I AM FREE FROM THE TIME EATING MACHINE THAT IS SCHOOL NOW WOOT! Well, for a few months anyways. I'm all unpacked and ready for NICE WEATHER PLZ! It's still on and off here and I'm just so eager for the sun to be out consistently it's not even funny. But it literally thundered crazy loud a few seconds ago. Sadness!
I managed to for a swim today though in an attempt to get ready for my lifegaurd training and...it was both reassuring and not reassuring at the same time. My form is pretty good, I think but my stamina is in the toilet. I had to stop after every lap to catch my breath. So I'll probably be trying to go like everyday until the training sessions where we go in the pool because I really need the practice. Bottom line: I'm still kind of terrified I won't make the cut. FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME PLZ.
I still have to get caught up on Contagion stuff but lately I've been really wanting to work on my fake Tonks app (an app I want to have ready with ninja like speed if ever the oh so rare opportunity to play her in the way that I comes my way). It makes me really sad how incredibly hard it is to find ANY place to play her, much less a really good one.
It would be really nice to be in a game where the ground rules are set for Aurors but if anyone has general tips for me I would appreciate it! I want to go with the idea that she was probably an underdog initially for several reasons and I would actually really like for her relationship with Moody to start out as one of him thinking she's kind of insane and foolish. And then he sees she's actually got skillz and starts backing her up. So yeah...
When I'm done with her I'll probably post it and ask for opinions since it's sort of nerve wracking to be playing a character this Canon. Her muse is amazingly strong in my head, though. I'm actually thinking of trying to re-read some of the books this summer so we'll see if that happens! |

OKAY SO I CAN'T READ APPARENTLY. And it turns out my training session isn't until SATURDAY. And is only an informational session so I'm considerably less nervous. So I will be around Wednesday through Friday! Because I'm officially done with the semester TOMORROW!! WOOT!
I have a lot to catch up on in Contagion unfortunately. Harriet's itching to start speculating things/stirring things up but not much conflict seems to be going on yet! |

Hey guys,
Just want to make a quick apology for not being around as much as I thought I was going to be this week. And a heads up that the next week is probably going to be jam packed as well! I have finals Monday and Tuesday and will be moving out Tuesday. Wednesday I'll probably be spending the day trying to get my swimming skills back and looking over the mountain of paperwork/lifegaurd textbooks they gave me because Thursday I have my first training session!! And it's going to be long, like 6 hours. So I think I may be wiped after that but we'll see. (I'm kind of REALLY NERVOUS about it too -- I keep hearing different things about what we'll be expected to do and I'm hoping that the fact I'm not really in shape won't completely ruin my chances!! D: I need a hiding/scared icon...)
Anyways, long story short: I will probably be scarce from Monday to Thursday next week. Monday and Tuesday in particular, I think BUT I will be trying to get on at least in teh evenings! Once my finals are done I think that will be possible. But don't totally completely count on it I guess! |
