7:30 pm	Quizzie Metatron: you are an angelic person who cares for others, but you can be extremely sarcastic at times. And witty. Which Alan Rickman Character are you? brought to you by Quizilla Woot! All Hail Mr. Rickman, Archangel of Old British Guys! Also, here's a few Harry Potter related quotes I yoinked off some website that I enjoy: "If this isn't the cherry of cruelty on top of the sundae of despair that has been my day so far, I don't know what it is." --Malfoy, "Draco Sinister" by Cassandra Claire "Percy is God AND Boba Fett." --Honoria Neil: Oh yeah - Dumbledore dances with Sprout at the Yule Ball, which loosely translates as: "they are head-over-heels in love with each other and bonded together, immovably, as a mating pair". Er... that is how this shipping thing works, right? I believe the Du/Sp tugboat is officially launched... Dave: Not for those of us who think it's far more significant that Madame Pomfrey thinks Dumbledore looks good in earmuffs. Well, you know, we're kept pretty busy having Young Death Eater meetings, and then we spend a lot of time making loads of other students feel bad about their lack of money and social standing. Sometimes we stay up all night and try to raise demons to do our loathsome bidding, but most evenings we just order pizza and pull the wings off a few flies. --Harry, "Draco Dormiens" by Cassandra Claire Don't knock it -- my Dark Arts background just saved your hide, Potter. But don't worry, I'll be sure to call in your expertise as soon as we have to deal with, say, a small box of puppies. --Malfoy, "Draco Sinister" by Cassandra Claire On the typical side: I certainly don't think shippers are nuts, but it does strain credulity when people think Harry is going to marry Ginny AND Ron is going to marry Hermione AND Fred is going to marry Angelina AND Fleur is going to marry Bill AND Neville is going to marry Crookshanks. You know, I can believe in one or two childhood-friendship-->marriage relationships, but when there are too many in a single fanfic, I begin to wonder just what's in the Hogwarts water. --Amy Z Oh, now, Susan, we all regard you as a first-class citizen at HP for Grownups. And do you really think that making Voldy or Snape or Malfoy female would mollify the Gender Critics? "Rowling displays her gender-based self-hatred by displacing what she concieves of as Evil onto the diabolic maternal figure of Voldemort, in which the archetypal Female is inextricably linked as the castrating antagonist opposing the so-called protagonist, whose usurpation of the antique matriarchal symbol of the Broom in which to cavort in his Male Competitive Power Games, blah blah blah......." --CMC Thats enough for now.

12:43 pm	Once again, I return Well, it certainly has been a while. I'll see if I can do a quick re-cap of everything that's happened recently. Valentine's Day was last Saturday, and what a great day it was. I got Garrett a huge Hershey's Kiss and one of the security t-shirts from the production of The Vagina Monologues that recently showed at GSU (the shirt says 'Security' on the back and 'Please don't touch the vaginas' on the front). Garrett got me a lovely bouquet of flowers and a Star Wars Imax poster with some beautiful art of Yoda posed in front of famous landmarks from various big cities. He also took me to Barnesville to meet some of his buddies and see a show they were doing. Not only was it nice to finally put some faces together with the names of all those people he and Lance talked about, but the people were just as nice as they could be. It's comforting to know that theatre kids are the same everywhere. After that, it was school again for another week. We didn't have rehearsal for the show since most of our cast are music majors and they were off touring with the choir or at some vocal competition, and that was really nice. Also, I've started ahnging out with Garrett, Ken, Lance, and whoever else happens to show up on Monday afternoons, and that's *loads* of fun. I'm really happy this week. I heard something really nice from someone really special. I must have done something really right this year, because someone Up There is really looking out for me. Also, Captain Klutz has managed to strike again. Yesterday, I was just *standing around* and quite literally *doing nothing* when I felt like my hand was wet. I was about to wipe it on my jeans when I realized the palm of my hand was covered in blood. Turns out, there are some tiny gashes in my hand that are emitting a healthy amount of plasma and I'll be darned (straight to Heck, I imagine) if I know how on earth they got there. I wasn't playing with any sharp objects at the moment, and it's only on one hand, so I've ruled out the Stigmata. Oh, well. At least I didn't trip over *the ground* again. That's about all I got for now, folks. Not a whole lot else going on except I'll be studying this afternoon. I have a Peoples' Theatre test on Monday, an Astronomy test on Tuesday, and a Spanish test on Wednesday, so I'm going to be a busy little bee today so as I can have Monday night off to play with my friends. Well, dudes and dudettes, see ya next time. Current Mood: content Current Music: No music, just comedy CDs: Dorkfish - Bill Engvall (1 Bouncing Ferret | Draco's Been Bad)

7:10 pm	Just when I was getting used to being alone... Life comes and kicks me in the rear with her stiletto heels of joy. I won't give too much away here, just in case I decide to make my last private journal entry public, so I'll give you the good stuff without all the gory details. I am no longer single. It's true. I am currently dating this great guy I went to highschool with (Garrett - the guy from the RHPS pics). He's really nice to be around, he knows how to have fun, and best of all, we already have most of the same interests and friends. I lied. The best part is that I don't have to go out of the way or not be myself just to impress him. Also, this one knows how to treat a lady. So, yeah. I'm feeling really upbeat/happy right now. Life is good, and I'm not going to be alone on Valentine's Day. Current Mood: happy Current Music: Sympathy for the Devil -- Guns-N-Roses (1 Bouncing Ferret | Draco's Been Bad)

11:23 pm	Random thought. This is nothing really but a random memory/story I thought I'd share with the world. It's about going to the dentist. You know how when you go to the dentist's office the dental hygienist chick leans your chair back and cleans your teeth before the dentist comes in to look at them? It's always an interesting experience when that happens to me. It all starts out normal. The hygienist puts the little spit-bib on me and leans my chair back. Then... Here's the weird bit: My dental hygienist is - to put it mildly - amply endowed. so every time she leans over me to clean my teeth, her large bosoms always press against the side of my head. Whenever I leave the dentist's office, the right side of my face is all warm. There is no moral to this story. Just one of life's little experiences I thought I'd share with my faithful readers.

12:43 am	What ever happened to Saturday night? Sunday morning. My internal clock is currently on the fritz, so I'm giving you a late night post. Enjoy! First of all, I bravely battled the Martian Death Plague, and it has now left my body for ever! Well, at least until the pollen starts coating every available surface again. Now, on to the good stuff. I had the awesomest time this weekend. Joie de vivre! Friday night I went to a pajama party with the theatre kids and spent the night with Michelle. Saturday morning we went out to eat breakfast at the Eagle Diner still in our PJs. (We're college kids, though, so that's not too far out of the ordinary). Satruday was the best bit. I went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show with Garrett, Michelle, and Bob. We had loads of fun. Some of us even dressed up for the occassion (I'll post the pics as soon as Mom lets me yoink her digital camera). The show was pretty great, except the shadowcast had a chick playing Frankie and she sucked, but that's my only complaint. We met up with mom and the Bubba Twins at the Eagle Diner after the movie. It was great not being stuck at home alone on a Saturday night. Also couldn't have chosen a better group of folks to be with. Michelle and Bob are 12 shades of fun and the G-rat was very charming, to say the least. We hit Silly Mode somewhere around 2 AM and everything got REALLY FUNNY! Huzzah for adrenaline rushes! Later on Garrett and me headed back to the hizzy and watched Dogma until 7 AM. That was a first for me (staying up until 7, not watching Dogma). That's why my internal clock is all thrown off. We eventually did get tired, though. Garrett even dozed off on my shoulder once or twice. It was cute.:-) I'm very content with life today. Some other stuff went on that I won't post here (Entries being edited to protect the innocent, and all. Look for the really good stuff in my real journal, available on Ebay when I'm rich and/or famous). Go me. Life is WHEEEE! Also, I'd like to add a shout-out to my buddy Douggie: Cheer up, sweety! Remember what I said about the circus and the backpacking and the cookies! Peace out, y'all! Word to your mother.

8:43 pm	GROG!!! Well, Well, Well... This morning I woke up with a wonderful (read: craptastic) case of a cold the Martian Death Plague. My nose is stuffy, my voice has dropped an octave, and I'm not entirely sure I'll live out the week. Don't you hate it when you're sick? Even if it's something as small as a cold? Especially if it's something as nasty as the Martian Death Plague? Gah! It's like your entire body is trying to rebel against you. The whole day my body has been trying to shut down against my will. All day all I've wanted is sleep (which I can't have, as I am required to have 52 more pages of a 92 page play read by tomorrow morning). Also, my brain doesn't work. I can barely keep my thoughts straight enough to type this stuff. And my hands are cold. Grog! Suck. Suck. Suck. I am such a whiner. Pray for me, folks. (1 Bouncing Ferret | Draco's Been Bad)

3:50 pm	A kitty's tale... Here's an interesting story I heard from a friend. I thought it was hilarious, so I had to pass it on. Here goes: This guy thought he heard some mice pawing around in his home, so he set out some glue traps (kind of like fly paper for rodents). Anyway, he was in the shower one day and he heard some noises, so he hopped out of the shower long enough to go check the glue trap, and lo and behold, there was a mouse attached. Since he was in the middle of his shower, he took the rat and its trap and tossed it outside, meaning to deal with it when he was done bathing. Now here's the funny bit: He went outside later to dispose of the mouse properly, but it was completely *gone* (gasp!). The next day, he went outside and saw a rather distraught cat with an empty glue trap stuck to the side of its face:-) (Draco's Been Bad)
3:28 pm	Just a note to everyone... I just learned today that a girl I graduated with two years ago (the principal's daughter)killed herself last night. I didn't know her very well, but I'm still rather upset. This is going to sound really cheesy I know, but I'd rather go ahead and get it out. If any of my friends (or anyone at all, really) *ever* thinks *for any reason* that his or her life has gotten so bad that you think you need to end it, know that I love you even if no one else in the whole world does, no matter what's happened. Come to me if you ever need anything. On a side note, some people just don't seem to think about what they're doing when they take their own lives. It's really the most selfish thing anyone can do. You're not making anything better. All you're doing is hurting the people you leave behind. I know this was a rather depressing post, but I thought it needed to be addressed. (Draco's Been Bad)

12:39 pm	This one's for the fangirls and the hopeful film and theatre majors out there... Today, I have a heartwarming tale to share. It is an old tale, but I only learned of it a week ago and saw fit to "spread the love" as it were. It is the story of an Elf. A very special Elf from The Fellowship of the Ring. Now, without further ado, here is his story: Once upon a time in Middle-earth... There was a coucil held in the last homely house in Rivendell - a coucil headed by Elrond himself. Peoples of all races attended this very important meeting - Dwarves, Men, Hobbits, and (above all) Elves. And most importantly, this Elf: Can't see him that well? Well, that's sort of the point. This Elf was an Extra. His sole purpose was to sit there, keep quiet, and look Elven (Well, he had one line, but it was in Elvish and everyone says it sounds a little too close to "F*** you," so it doesn't count). And he was to do so for only three seconds (4.5 on the extended edition). His name was not even listed in the credits. Why? Because he didn't even have one. But this was not to be his fate... One day, while watching the film, a wonderful young lady by the name of Iris Hadad watched the Council scene where Frodo agrees to destroy the Ring. "I will take it," he says. Hadad's reaction to the scene was a normal one... "Frodo is great...WHO IS THAT?" Why this reaction? just as Frodo agrees to take the ring, the camera pans over to our new friend. Lets get a better look at him, shall we? He's pretty, ain't he? But I digress...Where was I? Oh, yes. Miss Hadad. She was the first to create a website dedicated to this lovely Elf whom she affectionately named Figwit (Take the first letters of each word of her initial reaction to him - the name will make sense. Also, the website is www.Figwitlives.net) This beautiful new Elf quickly gained a Boba Fett-like fan following on the internet. Websites devoted to him began popping up, and before long, every fangirl worldwide knew the name of Figwit. Now comes the important bit. Remember this scene? Yes, folks! Figwit has RETURNED! (Along with that "king" guy). People liked him so much, Peter Jackson saw fit to call up Mr. Bret McKenzie (the actor behind Figwit) and bring him back for Return of the King. He even got to say a line in the movie! Even better, he got a few of his own trading cards, AAAAAAND... This time he even had a name...and it was Figwit. The moral of this story is: A) Fangirls have power! HUZZAH! and B) Never fret about getting a bit part in a play or movie. It just might be your big break... Check out more pretty pics of Figwit at The Elf Porn Shack Bonus Links: I stumbled across some great Harry Potter spoofs. Imagine if Harry Potter was a puppet show performed by the insane...

2:46 pm	GAHHHHH!!!! Where the shizzle mizzle fizzle did my background go?!?!? I just looked and it was GONE! Now it looks like I'm gonna have to fix it. Crap in a hat. Anyhoo, here are my Lists, as promised: **My List Of Old British Guys I Am In Love With And Why They Will Never Marry Me** by Sydney Marsh 1. Alan Rickman - Dating 2. Kenneth Branagh - sometimes dating (also, technically Irish, but lives in England) 3. Eric Idle - Married (second wife) 4. Gary Oldman - Married most of the time 5. John Cleese - Married (fourth wife) 6. Jeremy Bulloch - Married with children 7. Sir Ian McKellan - Gay 8. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber - Married (third wife) 9. Sir Anthony Hopkins - Married (also third wife) 10. Tim Curry - Single, but probably gay (lives with dog, Frank) 11. David Bowie - Married to a supermodel 12. Robert Englund - Okay, so he was born in California, but his last name is 'Englund,' which sounds like 'England,' which is where British Guys Come from. Either way, he meets the 'Old' requirement. Also, It's MY list so I'll include whomever I wish. As for why he won't marry me, he's probably married (if so, third wife). (Note: Hope I didn't screw up any of the entries whilst I was cutting and pasting. List is now in somewhat of an order of preference.) Now for the new sub-list (this is a short one, but it'll start building once Hugh Jackman gets old): **My Other List Of Old Guys I Am In Love With, Where They Are From, And Why They Will Never Marry Me** 1. Hugo Weaving - Nigeria/Australia - Married since 1984 (my birth year) with two kids (Harry and Holly Weaving, strangely enough) 2. Geoffrey Rush - Australia - Married since 1988 with two kids As I said before, If you want to know *why* I'm in love with these guys (or if you are one of these guys and do wish to marry me)post a comment and I'll add it in a later post. I'm too lazy right now. As a special bonus, here's a list of movies no one should go through the holidays without seeing: 1. The Nightmare Before Christmas 2. The Muppet Christmas Carol 3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon, not the Ron Howard flick) 4. Any Harry Potter film 5. Edward Scissorhands (1 Bouncing Ferret | Draco's Been Bad)
1:01 pm	Wow...It's been a WHILE... I know I've been slacking, but a few weeks ago I was busy with final exams, and now I'm busy getting in the Christmas Spirit!!! (And cleaning the house, too). Anyhoo, there's been a whole lot of crazy stuff going on in my life, some of which will be appearing only in my *real, hand-written* journal and not here. (I'f you want to read my real journal, wait until I'm rich and famous. It will be appearing on ebay, starting bid $250) All that aside, here are the high points of what you've missed: I got all As in school! Go me! I also went to see the midnight showing of Return of the King last week. Not as good as the books, but fantasmagorical nonetheless. I spent about 2 hours in line at the movie theatres with my buddies (Lance, Ken, Tess, Patrick, Lexi, *Yul Brenner Voice* Et Cetera! Et Cetera! Et Cetera!)playing Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. There was fun to be had by all! Brace yourselves, I'm about to have a Girl Moment: I don't know if those guys realize it, but they mean a whole lot to me. They're the bestest friends a chick like me could have. Rude humor, strangeness, and all. It's really nice to have friends that look after me like they do. Kudos to youse guys! Love love love! I have discovered that Walt Disney's frozen remains are out to get me. Every Disney Store in Savannah, Ga and Columbia, SC has closed down. Why? Because I needed to get to one in order to purchase this year's Nightmare Before Christmas musical snow globe. But worry not, faithful readers, something wonderful has occurred: A few weeks ago, some guy from Media Play (Become a Replay Member, folks!) calls me up at the most random moment of the day and says, since I'm a Replay Member and since I bought a whole bunch of Nightmare Before Christmas loot in October, that I have won the 6-foot-tall Jack Skellington doll that was on display in the store! How awesomatic is that? Now he stands in my room. He's bigger than me! And from what I've looked up about him, there's only 1,500 of the buggers in existence, and most people charge about $250 for them. Woo! On another note, I added a new name to my list of Old British (I use the term 'British' *very* loosely) Guys I Am In Love With. I'll post the full list in my next post. Also, have discovered two more Old Guys I Am In Love With who are not British, but AUSTRALIAN...seems like I'll be forming a sub-list of Old Guys, which will also be appearing in my next post. HAPPY NEWS! I got a role in next spring's Opera Theatre production of A Little Night Music. I get to be Petra, the naughty maid. Shazam! However, as per orders of my director, the cast is supposed to be losing weight before April, so pray for me, folks! I've just spent the last hour scouring ebay for things I can't afford. Sydney's Christmas List for 2003: Anything with the Nightmare Before Christmas logo on it. Huzzah for the 10th anniversary! Also, Sydney is a happy panda because she just found out that next year will be the 10th anniversary of Gargoyles, the single greatest cartoon ever aired, and in celebration Disney will be releasing the entire first season on DVD! God loves me! Well, now that my useless ranting is over, I'll be posting my Lists in a few minutes. Maybe I'll even think of something useful and entertaining to post tomorrow. Til then, farewell friends. Love you all, and I hope to be updating more often. Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo (1 Bouncing Ferret | Draco's Been Bad)

5:45 pm	A Rant, because I haven't in a while. The following was originally supposed to be a reply to a post on a Harry Potter message board created in response to these websites:http://www.cuttingedge.org/articles/db028.htm and http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/HP-Movie.htm but it got too long so I decided to post it here instead. Enjoy it or don't, but I hope you at least learn something cool. ************************************************************** Oh goody! A religious 'debate'! :clap: I wanna play! First of all, a warning:Although *I like to think* I know what I'm talking about when I refer to other religions, my knowledge comes from mostly 'casual' research (i.e, church, the Bible, bits of the Quran, bits of the Satanic Bible, Wiccan books, etc.) Also, I hope no one's offended by this post. I don't wanna be mean. Do unto others, and all that. Or as the Wiccans would say, "An' it harm none, do what ye will" ;) On with the show... I'd like to start this thing off with a Star Wars quote, with it's context slightly modified for my own nefarious purposes. some people set out to find bad stuff in Harry Potter, or seem to find it on their own. Why? Consider this conversation between Yoda and Luke: Luke: "What will I find in there?" Yoda: "Only what you take with you." Here's my answer to all those folks using scripture to blast HP: I can think of a book with more sex, death, violence, rape, murder, necromancy, war, and magic than HP. If you guys guessed I was talking about the Bible, you're right. But just like HP, it's also full of love, hope, and inspiration. As strong as I am in my faith, I believe the Bible is an imperfect book. I'm not saying I don't believe anything in it. I do. Check out some history of the Bible to see what I mean: 1.The Bible began in the oral tradition (hence its verse form). Anyone who's ever played the games *gossip* or *telephone* know how corruptible that is (read Genesis. notice there are 2 versions of the creation story, and passing mentions of other people in the world besides Adam and his family) 2.When it *was* finally written down (about Shakespeare's time), it went through a lot of changes. When King James and others made their versions, they *chose* which books to keep and which to toss out (according to my lit professor, Revelations almost didn't make it in). Besides that, when influential people want to get their way, some are not above adding things people want to hear 3. The Bible has been translated about a bazillion times. What difference does this make? Think about Spanish class in high school. When you want to ask someone "How old are you?", you say "Quanto anos tienes?" which actually means "How many years do you have?" This is similar to how "immaculate conception" to many doesn't mean a birth without a father, but the birth of a child who is free from the stain of original sin. 4. GOD CHANGES HIS MIND OCCASIONALLY! He's allowed! He's GOD! For example: Old Testament says "An eye for an eye" and New Testament says "Turn the other cheek." As one of the angels in the movie Dogma pointed out, it used to be a mortal sin to eat mean on a Friday. It breaks my heart when religions bash on each other. We all (Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc) basically worship the same thing - one big omniscient force that LOVES US NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE SCREW UP. Hey, maybe even the polytheists are on the same track (Even Christians have countless different names for either God or Jesus, depending on what they need him for). As for the Athiests and Satanists (who, according to the Satanic bible don't actually worship Satan, but merely celebrate their right not to worship God), I hope they have a change of heart someday, but I'll be friends with them as long as they're nice to me. Disregarding everything else in this post, why would God give us this nifty little toy called "imagination" if we weren't ever meant to use it? The God I talk to told me to love everyone.
