I just got hiccups from eating peanut butter...


THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

That is like...OPPOSITE of logic! Ahhh, what the hell!

Just wanted to say...

IAWTP.


That is all.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Initial Reactions

( There are many spoilers beneath this cut for both the book AND the movie. Also note that I am very tired. )

*huuuuuums*

Guess who finished a chapter (sorta) on time?


Meeeeeeee!

*dances*


And now, I'm off to bed.

Christine took the free ColorQuiz.com personality test! ""Highly optimistic and outgoing personality. Love..." Click here to read the rest of the results.

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I don't know where my mind is right now.

Chapter Six is started! And I have plans!

Evil plans?

Oh...uh...no...casual plans! Like maybe going rollerblading on a Saturday...and seeing a movie at night.


*cough*

Sorry, HP Musical moment there.


Yes, Chapter Six, Playground Innocence is coming along quite well. I foresee some forshadowing (4 shadowwww!...AFRO SHADOW! ATTACK!) in the next couple of paragraphs or so. Hum diddly ho. Dunno how far I'll go in this chapter though. I know we planned some big stuff, but I might stick with my beloved exposition and see what the word count gets me to. An Eli/Selene confrontation popped into my head earlier today, so I'm looking forward to that.

Tralalalaaaaa

I like being able to talk about Eli now. AND BETRAYAL.

But Christine...you haven't said that Eli's going to betray everybody yet.

But I said it in the descriptions for my two excerpts that I posted a long time ago...also, I let the cat out of the bag on the whole Callie/Jude thing...

SHHHHH!

Oh, it's not like anyone's paying close enough attention anyway...

You never know. People could be watching your journal like a hawk and getting all your spoilers.

Reading my journal and not commenting? That's straight up creepy.

Well, you kinda lost control with that drunk entry...

What if I said the spoiler I let out there was a lie?

Anne would kill you.

Ahh....perhaps you're right. Considering she's writing a whole companion story on the subject...

Yes, which she hasn't updated in a while.

I KNOW, RIGHT???! And I'm looking forward to it!

Seriously. That story is the shit.

I love it when people write spinoffs of my characters.

Like that one Lee/Liz story...

Oh my GOD. That made me giggle like no other.

Mostly because she got more explicit than you ever had in sex scenes...

Also because it was Lee and LIZ. Who were definitely supposed to fall madly in love.

But the Scoresby family wouldn't be the same...

You so read my mind...

I AM your mind.

Oh...does this make me crazy, then?

Absolutely.

SWEET!



ETA: 2072 words tonight, and I'm justifiably off to bed.

I am unashamed to admit that I love messing with people's heads on Omegle....

Although, it means that my story is getting nowhere atm.

I forgot how much fun pretending you're someone you're not online can be, though. I haven't done it in FOREEEEVER, since I got rid of yahoo, which is what I did it most on.


Teeheehee...my days of being Alexis from Michigan (or anywhere else now, who knows) are coming around once more.

*sigh*

Joel was supposed to be here five hours ago.

But he went out partying with Robby last night and I got a text from them at 6.

So I'm really not expecting much.


I might just take a nap in that case.

I'm having issues of impotency this morning.

First, my computer wouldn't start.

Then, my car wouldn't start.

I was trying to move it to the front of the house so Joel could work on it outside and not in the smelly old garage. But the battery must have died between now and the last time I started it. Which really frustrates me, because if my parents expected that I would be able to get it fixed, they should have at least started it once in a while so the battery didn't go dead.

And also take it out and hose it down once in a while. It looks TERRIBLE. And you can ask anyone, I kept it spotless when I drove it.


*sigh*

And there's nothing to eat but some frostbitten waffles, and that just doesn't sound appetizing.

Blah, blah, blah.

Today is getting off to an annoying (and early) start.

Sorry that I'm spamming y'all, but...



I went into Kohls.


Said, "INTERVIEW ME. NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW."


...and they did. =)

( click for amazingness )


*squeak*

So...guess what just cheered me up immensely?


Aside from talking to my aunt on the phone for an hour and 18 minutes....




Harry Potter tickets went on sale!!! And I have them! For everybody! I am now more broke than ever, BUT...I will break legs until I get the money back.

WOOHOO!

and p.s. I'm going up to Kohls anyway. I don't care. I'll pretend like I wasn't the one who called, and just go up and be like INTERVIEW ME, BITCHES. NOWWWWWW.


Yeah.

Happy times.

=)

Oh, and by the way...

I had a horrible, upsetting dream when I went back to sleep this morning.

I dreamed that I was at the hospital visiting someone (my mom?) and when I went to my car, Mark was there. He told me he wanted to talk, and I said no. He came over to my side of the car and begged me, he just wanted me to hear him out, but still I said no, I had places to be.

So then he gets this look on his face and he tells me that he loves me and he made a mistake by sleeping with Kari, and all this stuff, and he tries to hug me, but I pull away and tell him to get away. He keeps trying, like he's going to kiss me, and he won't let go, and I scream at him to go away, but still he won't let go. I struggle and I punch his chest and I kick his leg, and still he won't let go.

I warned him, he knew that I took defense class last semester, and he's like, "Yes, but you told me all of your moves..." and that's when I got really scared. I kicked him with my signature move and he crouched over so I slammed his head into my car and pushed him down some steps that were suddenly there. That's when he just laid on the floor unconscious and bleeding, and I suddenly panicked. I knew I'd killed him.

I ran and ran, and I found myself in this dirty room where this woman was living, and I knew I looked awful. I somehow had blood on me, and I explained to this woman what I'd done and that I needed to get away, I needed a safe place to hide, and she agreed to help me.

But I was so scared. The whole time. I just didn't want to be near him, I knew what he was going to do, and I wasn't going to let it happen.

The dream ended somewhere around there when I woke up to a firetruck coming down the street. (Someone from Lyndsi's house got taken away in an ambulance)

I think I had it because Kari called me last night and invited me to her going away party that she's having in August for when she goes to Russia. She said the party had a catch. She invited Mark.

I don't think that I can be around the two of them, ESPECIALLY in a city all the way across the state. I really don't think I can do it, but I'm going to call Anne for advice later when she gets off of work.

I just don't know what to do.

I'm so upset right now, about everything. I'm shaking. I need someone to talk to, because I'm scared about my life, about my dream, about everything everything everything.

I don't know what to do.

Goddammit, I am just not meant to find an effing job.


Kohls rescheduled interviews today, and when I called Payless, they said they couldn't hire me because I'm going away in the fall.

FUCK I am in the worst position ever.


I completely 100% blame Susan for leaving me out to dry like this. I could've stayed in Kirksville and gotten a job I can walk to, and that I can keep for over the semester.

Now I don't know what the mothereffing hell I'm going to do.

This blows so incredibly hard, that I just want to curl up into a ball and cry my eyes out. That's almost what I'm doing, in fact. Because I just can't stand this. I NEED A JOB. I'm making my mom hold my debit card because I have just enough money to pay my rent and my phone bill left in my bank account.

But that is IT.

I am flat broke. If I don't get income soon, I don't know what the hell I'm going to do.

I have to pay for rent.
My phone bill.
My books.

I won't even be able to take the amazing offer and get my car fixed for cheap if I don't get a job soon.

I just don't know what the hell I'm going to do. This is terrible, and I'm really getting scared.

Tralalalaaaaaa


Debts, Deals, and Dissensions is FINALLY finished. And I'm so ready to move on to chapter six. It's picking up, folks. I promise you that.

Taking a tiny break to update y'all.


Chapter Five is on its way to completion. It stands now (at about 3/4s the way through? depends on if I add that scene at the end that I want...which I think I will to make the chapter title make sense) at 5232 words.

So you see why it's taken me so long to update? It's a doozy.

But I think it might be worth the wait.


>.>

*beams*

ETA: At 12:59, it is now 5536 words. Hooyeah.

No really, it was.


=)

LOLSIES LOLSIES!

Melissa and I were talking about dressing up for the Harry Potter midnight showing.  I'm going to be Lavender Brown and Melissa's thinking about being Ginny...

To talklikelions and my anonymous admirer (*mhlw*):

I must apologize. I answered your comments while I was quite intoxicated last night, and though they are free from typoes (amazingly) I'm not quite sure they make as much sense as if I'd typed them, say, TODAY.

So, I am sorry.

Love,
Me



So I typed an entry last night that was, like the comments, typo-free but probably divulging a bit more information than I would've liked.

Let's just say that the combination of drinking more than I'd ever in my life, plus smoking with this guy Joel = BAD NEWS BEARS. (not BAD NEWS SPBEERS)

I got really, really, really sick.

Come to your own conclusions, because I don't want to relive it.

Next time I go to the bar, I'm buying my own damn drinks. Because I know I sure as hell can't afford to get that drunk.


Soooo, yes.

Overall, I would count the night as a success. I got to see some awful metal bands and their 14 year old fangirls, I met a boy who said he might be able to fix my transmission on the Peacemobile for considerably less than what others would charge (Joel), I got to spend some quality time with friends, and I realized that my skills of catching things are greatly enhanced by drinking. So apparently, my depth perception is whacked when I'm not drinking, but when I am? It's GREAT!

So...pretty much the end.

Sorry about Chapter Five, I had intended on finishing that last night, but as you see, that very much did not happen.

And here's a bit from the entry I wrote last night because it's kinda funny:

Yeah.

Sorry.

Was going to finish Chapter Five tonight, but it just isn't going to happen. Am on my way. Am one night away from finishing.

But good god I can't do it right now. You know what would happen?

Selene would get drunk and kill Eli.

Or just avada kedavra his ass right now and that would be the end of the chapter.

But anyway.

I am giving too much away.

I will go to bed.

Be hungover in the morning most likely.

And go at the story again tomorrow.


I'm only a little bit hungover. Was worse at 6 am.

But anywhoodle.

Off to my grandma's!
