It seems people from real life have been finding this journal without my telling them. Do not know whether to be happy that they care, freaked out that they are stalking me, or mad that they are being overprotective. Perhaps some of each depending on the person. At any rate am very glad that I also have double-encrypted and coded dead tree journal, even if I never write in it. (Said encryption scheme also comes in handy when am writing neville/snape fanfiction in class. Teacher thinks I'm taking notes.)

It is a lovely day today; I wish I'd gotten up early enough to see the morning. Somebody smashed the window in a phone booth near my dorm, and there was a pile of broken safety glass under it, which sparkled so beautifully in the sunlight that I couldn't resist kneeling down and running my fingers through it. Tulips are up, and wildflowers all over the grass. I am a tiny bit worried, however, about the hill behind the library which for the past week or so has been seeping black slime. The grass around it is turning orange and every time I walk down I slip. As a student of geomorphology I feel as if I should be able to figure out the cause of this, but am so far stumped.

Last night I went to see "Damn Yankees" at my high school, on alumni night. Saw a lot of people I hadn't seen for a long time. Did not *speak* to any of them; apparently I wasn't in a socializing mood. Perhaps I shouldn't have brought a book.
As to the play itself, Erin Linell was brilliant as Lola. I barely recognized her from two years ago. Steve as Joe was quite good too. Also liked the way the Senators were made into a co-ed team, with all speaking parts going to girls, and I now have a craving to go watch a baseball game. However I have not yet figured out the plot, assuming there *was* one. Dad and I agree that the ending was completely wrong, at any rate.
Have now written chapter to my never-to-be-finished HP epic, starring Harry/Pansy and based on "Whatever Lola Wants." Sometimes I scare myself.

I've finally gotten CD ripping and encoding set up on my computer. Therefore, xmms has decided to start playing all mp3's at about 1/8 speed. Yay.

*ponder* I found it without you techincally telling me about it...

And yeah I gathered you dinna seem to be in too social a mood, why did you bring a book to a play? And more importantly, was it "The Year The Yankees Lost the Pennant"?

Will you be posting that chapter somewhere? Also who is Pansy? I don't recall any mention of a char named Pansy... Or is this a "Go read the books" type thing?

Pansy is a very minor character. Her main role is to throw herself all over Draco Malfoy in an attempt to be seen as his girlfriend. She doesn't appear in the movies.
So yes, read the books. ;P

Well she's not in the first two movies, does she only come in the third book on? If so I can skip the first two right? Since I have seen those movies... *smile*
