The Daily Prophet Reports:

You're a Lion!

Wherever your particular jungle might be, you are considered king or
queen. With a noble yet relaxed air, you are able to control those around you by
implied threat of force. There are those that would attempt to tame you, or even
call you yellow, but you know that you're far too bold for that. You've often been
seen hanging out on the steps of public libraries. Your favorite US state is
Maine.

Check out this article from the Today Show interview with J.K. Rowling--it gives more information on what happens to the surviving characters, including jobs, some potential romance, and a bit about Hogwarts. Obviously, SPOILERS ABOUND.

Finished 'Potter'? Rowling tells what happens next

Because of the massive leak of spoilers (whether real or not), I'm heading offline until Sunday or so, when I've read the book. Legally. You know, buying it from a bookstore. Shame on you people who have read the (potentially fake) copy online. 

Apparently people at Hogwarts either really like me or really hate me. :)

What's Your Reputation at Hogwarts? (26 different characters)

Goody Two Shoes Gryffindor:House: Gryffindor
Best Friend(s): Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Crabbe: Only knows you as "The Girl Draco Hates."
Goyle: Same as Crabbe.
Pansy Parkinson: Hates you.

Teachers
Dumbledore: Always suggests that you should join the Order of the Pheonix.
Professor McGonagall: Sometimes lets you come to class late because she knows you can pick up on the missed material easily.
Professor Flitwick: Uses his magic to blow away paper airplanes the Slytherins throw at you.
Professor Trelawney: Predicts a happy, yet tragically short life for you.
Professor Snape: Despises you and you're fame.

( Memes yoinked from Meghan! )

Hmm.. I'd rather be a Seeker, but the rest is cool!

I'll finally be heading back to Columbia on Sunday after a month in Montana with the parents--sure was nice not having to worry about anything for a while. :)

However, now that I'm on my way back, it's time to do several things.

1. Advertise the snot out of Grammar Bites. Did I mention I own an editing business? That's right. Grammar Bites.

2. It's probably time to find at least a part-time job so that I can afford to pay my bills. Any of you Columbia folk know of some decent jobs around town or at any of the schools? :)

3. Finish writing a) book and b) screenplay.

4. Figure out what to do about grad school and what to study there.

5. Finish studying Spanish and move on to a new language.

6. Oh, right, and try not to panic about the GIGANTIC storm cloud of student loans hovering on the horizon.

Wow, life is gonna suck for a little bit.

1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
Graduated college. Had an 8:00-5:00 office job. Quit an 8:00-5:00 office job (what? It sucked ass royally). Started my own business. Grammar Bites. Use it. Love it. 

Um. Wow. :) Thank you to whoever gave me extra time on my paid account AND extra user pics! That really made my day!

Livejournal, of course, waits until the last day of 2006 to tell me that my LJ subscription is running out in 12 days.

Which is really too bad, because I like my spiffy journal and 42 user pics...

...but I don't want to spend the money to renew it right now. Because I have many other things that I -do- have to spend money on.

Soo. Enjoy my pretty layout and go have a chuckle at all my icons for the next week and a half. And then it'll revert to an unpaid, sad little account with three pics. Oh, well. MySpace is free, anyway, so nyah. :)

It's comic-book me! WOOT!

-And just about anything else!

So visit my website and use the services! I'm friendly. :) You'll like me.

Write a journal entry for this meme with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends list and tag them - no tagbacks. These rules should be included in your entry.


1. I played flute and piccolo before college and really want to start again - but I'm too lazy. Why didn't Stephens have a music program worth anything?

2. My toenails are always painted. Usually red, peach, or gold.

3. I have never been to a nightclub because I hate crowds, frat boys, and sorority girls.

4. I wanted to major in Film Direction in college, but instead I majored in English.

5. I own ten different bottles of perfume and about eight other body sprays. I like scent.

6. I would like to become fluent in Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese, Hebrew, and Arabic, then work as a translator. This may take me quite a while to do. Um.

No tags because I think everyone on my friends list has already been tagged. :)

I was watching the local news this morning, and I noticed that the station is now putting the newscasters' email addresses under their names.

And it made me wonder... does anyone actually watch the weather report and then email the weather guy?
