30 Days of Harry Potter Meme

01. Discuss how you got into Harry Potter

02. Your favourite book

It's a tie between HBP and DH. I love books that can make me cry, and both of them managed that. HBP did it with Dumbledore's death, and DH with... ending HP. LOL! Seriously, I didn't cry when the characters died, but I DID cry during the epilogue. Not because I hated it - because I loved it - but because I realised that there will be no more Harry Potter books.

*sniff*

Anyway, I love all the other books as well but those two, especially Deathly Hallows, are my favourites.

03. What house would you be in?

That's a tough question because I think I have characteristics that could land me in pretty much any house. I like reading and I'm a bit of a wiseass sometimes - Ravenclaw. I have an evil streak - Slytherin. I'm shy, nice and loyal - Hufflepuff. I'm... not exactly courageous, so... I guess we can forget Gryffindor.

I think I'll pick...



04. Your favourite movie

Um... Halfblood Prince. There are many scenes in it that I like, even though there are still many things I don't like. But the other ones are fine too. Maybe I don't really have a favourite *shrugs*

05. Wizard Rock: Discuss

Nah. Downloaded a few songs once but it's not for me.

RL, Tattoo and a Rec

It feels like it's been a busy two weeks, even though I didn't really do all that much. So here's a numbered post for you ;)

01. The state examination. I knew about it a month before and still only started studying seriously about five days before. Naturally, I didn't know it all by heart but decided to just see how it goes. I didn't feel like going at all, mostly because it was an all-day thing and I had to get up at 6 am.

But in the end, I'm glad I went because it was actually a pretty fun day. It started with the test about the Luxembourgian state and laws. I totally failed that one cause that was the one where I should've learned everything by heart. But I didn't and I ended up confusing everything and... meh. Not great. So technically I could've gone home then but decided to stay at least till noon. At ten, we got a text that we had to summarize and a quote we had to comment on. In an hour, which, in my case, was completely impossible After that, there was a test about the history and culture of Luxembourg which was fun. I think I did great in that one.

At noon I called my mother and she convinced me to stay until the end, so I did. I spent the lunch break in the mall, then went back to write the three language tests. German and English went great, as I could've expected, and French was better than I expected. Then we got a test about current events and news and I think I can totally forget about that one LOL! But I did my best 0:) And then finally, we had to translate a text from Lux. to French or German. I picked German and did a decent job. And... yeah! I'm pretty sure, it was pointless to go in the first place but on the other hand, it was a good experience :)

02. I wish I could've gone to the HP UK Meetup, but I'm glad I didn't because the week before, I got sick. Flu with coughing and sore throat and... it was bad and I was feeling really, really rotten. So obviously, I didn't want to make myself feel any worse by starving following my Weight Watchers plan and ended up putting on weight again instead of losing it. 1 kg only, but still!

Um... I was talking about the HP UK Meetup, so how did I get to dieting? *facepalm*

Right. Um... Oh! Anyway, nursedarry asked me to design a H/D tattoo for her. I was thrilled and said yes, and with the sketches she sent me, I came up with this:



If you want to see the result, you can go and have a look here! :) I think it looks awesome, doesn't it? *beams*

Anyway, if anyone wants to use it, you may, but please send me the result pics, kay? :D I'd love to see them!

03. Writing. I've written two more articles since last week - one about Puccini's opera "Tosca", and on Friday evening, I went to see a "musical". It wasn't really a musical since there was no singing. There was mostly dancing and a great atmosphere that made me want to jump up and dance as well :) I still haven't got a cent for anything I've written so far, so I need to address that again in my next email.

04. A rec. I finally had the time to read my hp_cestfest gift and it's AMAZING! Charlie/Lily, pure smut, and extremely hot. *drools*

ALL SHE WANTS IS

Go give the Mystery Author some love. Now! :D

05. Fests... I'm not signed up for anything right now. Wee! Okay, I agreed to do art for a story at percybigbang and then I have a little something planned for another fest. Not sure if it's supposed to be secret or not but I'll keep it a secret for now ;)

06. Um... yeah. That's all for now, I think. This post is long enough as it is :D

How is everyone else?? :D
