The Professor...



I really can't handle how sad I am over him dying. On the bright side, I can always drown my sorrows in fan fiction.

Also, I just read this article in Wired magazine & this quote made me happy.

'Harry Potter revealed a mass audience for fantasy that nobody was aware of, not even the people who were part of it. We were legion, and we didn’t even know it. Dostoevsky once said, “We all crawled out from under Gogol’s ‘Overcoat,’” and it’s just as true to say that we all crawled out from under Harry’s cloak of invisibility. He made being a fantasy nerd cool. Or, no, that’s not quite right. We didn’t change. The world changed around us: Harry Potter made everyone a little bit uncool.'

I shed many many tears over SNape's death. And I thoroughly enjoy being uncool with the Harry crowd (including when i went to the midnight premier dressed as Luny Luna while reading the Quibler upside down) I noticed in your sidebar it mentioned you're not watching anything, You need to check out my family blog. I posted about a lovely series called Lark Rise To Candleford.
