Fine, when I'm made Pope you can all come to my parties. I hope you like loud club music and oiled-up men in skimpy clothing.

To be honest, though, if just about *any* characters had hooked up other than the ones who did it would have been more interesting. (Except if it had been Harry and Hermione, which would have been just as dull.)

Agreed. I know Ron and Hermoine was always going to happen, but I would have respected Rowling so much as an author if as Ron went for that kiss Hermoine pushed him away and confessed her love for Ginny.

I'm just very slightly cheesed off with Rowling that she only has one gay character and nothing ever comes of that in any way, shape or form. I'm not calling for a Cast Full of Gay type situation, but give me something!

Harry and Draco would have been too obvious for me. Harry and Neville more believable. But Harry and Cedric? Now THAT would have made an epic tale. Introduce Cedric in Chamber of Secrets and let the relationship grow from there. They become friends, competitors, rivals, etc and then we get to the end of GoF and boom! Motivation for the rest of the series. Heartbreak and vengence all rolled into one.

Just me own thawts.

It would have been obvious, yes. But it just would have made so much sense. Nobody forms hatred that strong just because of being snubbed when you're 11. Even if not on Harry's end, I insist that there was more to Draco's animosity than is immediately apparent.

Good afternoon Cantina! So, I smacked the back of my head off a shelf this morning. It still hurts. :(

Other than that, it's really mild here today, if a little windy. I finally made it to the car wash so now my car is no longer coated in road salt.

I still take a stuffed animal to bed with me every night. An old, ratty Toucan Sam that I've had since I was nine. I can't sleep without it. Besides him, I've also got a husky, two dragons, a giant red iguana, and one of the dragon-donkeys from Shrek.

So am I the only one who saw the subtext between Dumbledore and Grindelwald??

I believe Rowling said that Dumbledore was actually gay. It's obviously not mentioned or described in the book, but she always pictured him as a homosexual.

I should probably mention that while I am a really liberal one... I'm am Catholic and still go to church.

Also, given that real people were deeply hurt by the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic church, would it be possible to leave off the priests and altar boy jokes? For the victims sake.

I swear I'm not sucking up to the guy, but... I can't think of a single moment in any of the dramas I have heard thus far which knocked me out of the story. There's always a "WHAT???" when I'm listening to audio dramas, but the guy skips over all the thorny parts with aplomb. So, so jealous.

I managed to track down ID4 UK and American Werewolf in London, too (don't ask) and plan to run those reviews later this year.

Look out for the Superman drama as well. It is... interesting. :D

Vermont Teddy Bear Company makes a few like that. I have a bear whose entire face is a mask, and it comes off to reveal an alien.

Y'know, I spend more money because of AW than any other website.

It's the thought that counts, not the surprise. :)

My mom brought me a Valentine's Day gift.

Granted, it was a tub of cinnamon hearts...


Also, writing a scene with my girlfriend based on a scene in my story which may not happen and if it does won't actually get shown. For reasons.

;)

Dude. Coming back from vacations should be something people are eased into. Like, day 1, work 2 hours then go home.

Nahhh my mom was sending me cards and gifts up until the year she died, I was 39 at the time. It all depends on the persons personality, some folks are just gift givers. Me not so much in fact you might die waiting for a gift from me.:ROFL:
