Well, I've had that rep off and on since I was about sixteen, so I wouldn't be surprised. The Balmer thing is new and worse since "The Wire".(my mom's a little confused by this, actually.) I should send you a link to my new, Balmer-fied blog with the sugar factory background so your mom can feel all not alone and stuff.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Happy Belated Birthday to Ouise, jengod and Paul! (I don't think I've ever posted with Paul.)
He has a log in, but has never posted. I don't think he even lurks. But lots of peeps have met him.
Seeing Red, HBP...
So, what? Did Draco try to rape Harry in the WC?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, juliana!
I have no interest in Harry Potter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
have you read the book yet, David?
No, but I spoiled myself by reading the LJ read-and-posts. I haven't read the last several books anyway, so it was a fun way to ride in the wake of the Event of it.
Seeing Red, HBP...
Don't try to map it too directly. I don't know if it even has an obvious flashpoint like Seeing Red. It's more to do with fannish expectations where people start to make up a story in their head that winds up being very different from what the creators are trying to tell.

I went ahead and spoiled myself, and can see how an indirect mapping works.
To be honest, I, umm, still haven't finished GoF, because I keep falling asleep whenever I try to read it. So I'm still two books behind.

I got spoiled by a spammish posting on an unrelated lj community. Of course, I didn't read the prior book because it was too heavy, so I wasn't overly worked-up, but I can see being PISSED.

Some people seem to be under the impression that you put the spoiler IN the warning.
So they do stuff like "Spoiler!! Joyce dies!!!"

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yup. I gave up after GoF, but I do like watching the fandom reaction.
Gronk. It cooled down just a bit here, and my mother and I are watching Eddie Izzard. Earlier, I had dinner with a bunch of lovely people at my favorite Japanese restaurant. Yum.

Did we know that Sandra Bullock apparently married Jesse James?
Oh, and in mother news, mine said I have a bunion! I was like, Oh no you didn't! But I guess I do. It doesn't hurt or anything, but still -- weird. Aren't bunions for sketchy old ladies??
