Friday fun

[stgulik]

* Thanks and a big *squish*  (whatever that is!) to rivertempest for sending me a virtual gift of a big blue spider. It was really sweet, my dear! But I still will have to be cleaned up after your current fic is finished ...

* Mugglenet has posted deleted scenes from Deathly Hallows Pt. 2. My dear Lupin shows up for only about 6.5 seconds ... and he's hugging my rival, that detested interloper, Tonks ... but it's totally worth it.

* Yesterday at work, the office craft group got together for lunch. And someone brought along a WIP - an inexplicable affair involving raffia, autumn-colored flowers, a glue gun, and a cinnamon-scented broomstick. I'm sure it's going to be pretty, but at the time, all I could think was, Madame Hooch would never allow scented broomsticks on the Quidditch pitch. I get HP on the brain at odd moments, and I can't confide in anybody but you people.

* Borrowing from droxy and savine_snape, I made the above avatar at Anime Me. It actually looks a whole lot like me ... does that mean I have a cartoon face?

A 'squish', my dear, is an affectionate hug. :D And you're most welcome.

*dies laughing* Oh, come on... just a little on your chin won't hurt. Will it? LOL

I didn't realize you were anti-Tonks. MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS JUST INCREASED TEN-FOLD! I saw that scene. It made me gag. I wanted to trip her as she ran to him. Oh darn, look as she's falling there off the castle battlements. Guess that's the first casualty, huh? *mad, evil laughter*

You don't like Tonks, either? MY LOVE FOR YOU IS BOUNDLESS. I have never understood why he caved in and married her. Also, I am stealing that icon.

LOL - trip! - she falls off the castle battlements! I abs. can't stop laughing. They'll suspect me of blogging for sure now. And here I was trying to look productive.

I never, ever, without a doubt liked Tonks, books or movie. She was pushy, whiny, petulant, and I suspect spoiled by her parents - most of my reasons for hating Ginny as well. Given Lupin's personality, it's a wonder he lasted as long as he did. He's so worried about people liking him, he'd do anything... even get together with a girl.

hehehehe - who shall we shove into the fray next?

You look productive to me. ;)

Oh, and steal away. I'm an icon whore.

I'm with ya. And I don't think we're projecting here. They seemed incompatible on the face of it; there was nothing in the books to suggest Remus was ever really happy with his decision to marry Tonks. I felt bad for him. He was already doing his duty as an Order member, and now comes the unwanted responsibilities of being a husband and father? No. He should have taken up with some steady woman his own age for a nice, steamy, string-free relationship. (Yes, NOW I'm projecting.)(But who cares.)

My anime me looks like a 12 year old. LOL

It does, kind of! But you sure grew up and got a 5 o'clock shadow in the Snape one. :D
