Seriously. Someone up there REALLY doesn't like me.

Well, ok, maybe I'm exaggerating. I AM really lucky, I suppose. I mean, I'm smart, I do well in school (most of the time, anyway!), and I'm just home from a holiday in Rome. Rome! (It was great by the way).

But they aren't the reason I'm posting this. I'm posting this because I'm in a drama hing this week. It's great. It really is. I've made a pile of friends, and today, we did street theatre and FAKED A WEDDING! Seriously. It was great craic.

But that isn't precisely the reason I'm posting either. See, there's this guy there. I met him at the same drama thing run at Halloween last year, and we got on great. And he's back for these five days. And to be honest, I really, REALLY fancy him. I mean, even if I didn't, he'd be a great friend anyway, but I do. And he seemed to, well, like me back. Well, I didn't think he FANCIED me or anything. I just thought, you know, I might have a chance. Miniscule and near-impossible it may be.

And then what do I find out?

HE'S GAY!

I am so not kidding. He's like, my perfect guy, except for that one little detail. Ok, so he's a bit of an emo. Well, so what? I happen to LOVE emo hair. And I like My Chemical romance too, and they're like, his favourite band EVER. And hell, he even likes Harry Potter, like me too.

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE FLIPPING GAY?!?!!?!?!?

Why, God, Why?

Just to make it clear, I am in no way homophobic. I really don't have a problem with it. Each to their own. Hell, I read slash smut fanfics and Brokeback mountain is one of my favourite films. (that probably doesn't prove much, I know).

Drama's still fun, though....

Ok,ok, I know, I know. I haven't updated in AGES.
Part of the reason for that was because we got a new computer and, thus, when I arrived here, I wasn't signed in and I'd forgotten my password. Joy.

And, of course, being me, I couldn't be bothered refinding and/or resetting my password until now.

And that's mainly because I wanted to post this quiz result:




I love that!

Maybe I'll update sooner next time....

Just got back from Grease rehearsals. Okay, I can't spell that.

But back to the point, I'm just back,a nd we were working on the finale. And We're all going to be singing "We go together". And at the front there's all the couples that got together, like Danny and Sandy, or Roger and Jan, or Patty and Eugene. They didn't really get together, but they are up there anyway.

And the director (coughmyfrenchteachercough) thought we needed another couple up at the front for this bit in the song to go right. So she says for me to come forward, and a guy called Ryan, who is Vince Fontaine, to be my other half.

Then, we did the dance and figured out that it works worse with 7 couples up front. So Ryan and me get put to the back again.


Now, Ryan and I aren't best friends or anything. Hell, I hardly know him. I'd say hi if I pass him in a corridor, but thats about it. So why am I upset over it?

I have no idea. I'm practically devastated here. Maybe it's because I've never actually had a boyfriend (and I'm 15. I feel pathetic about that) and I'm friends with something like, 2 or 3 boys, and I like the fact that Ryan has to hug me and all that during the dance. Actually, it's more of him trying to feel me up, and I'm practically in heaven, until I realise he's a sleazeball and I go away from him and glare at him through the rest of the scene.

Maybe we'll have to walk in together, arm in arm, or something, as we're going up to bow.

Maybe the sky'll turn green.

Well, I just realised that I hadn't blogged here in a VERY long time. I added a couple of quizzes I'd taken, but that's about it.

So, whats up with me?

I'm going to Belfast tomorrow for some "Mock council meeting of the EU" thing. Apparently I'm the Foreign Minister for Lithuania and I have to give a speech on communication within the EU. Yay.

All I can say is, it's put me off working in politics. Permadently. Honestly, the research for my speech as been sleep-inducing. Boring-yet-complicated. A horrible combination. But at least it's over tomorrow!

And I've got a part in Grease! I'm Miss Lynch. I get to stand on stage and yell at cute boys. Yay! I love being in Grease. Except in rehearsal last Sunday, everyone was meant to come in, so I turned up, and I did NOTHING the entire rehearsal! I was probably the only person they didn't use! How annoying was that? But overall, it's great fun :D

Well, what else can I say? Oh, yes. My school is having a trip to Paris in June. I REALLY, REALLY wanted to go, but my year weren't offered any places! It was only the 3rd and 4th years! I cornered Mr Harrison (head of the french department) today, and he said it was full up! Jeez, I was so angry! I want to do A-level french! That's more important than some stupid little 3rd year who probably won't even take it on for GCSE! My Dad's on the board of governers, so I complained to him. Unfortunately, theres no meeting of them soon, so thats over. I complained to my Mum, my friends, my brother, my teacher, pretty much anyone who'd listen. And nothings happened! What happened to Free Speech!? Shouldn't I be making a difference here?!?!?!

At least I'm going on a school Ski trip in Febuary. That'll be fun!

About my fanfictions: I'm working on WAY too many at the moment. I've got a one-shot I'm writing now, and I want to get it out ASAP. Preferably tonight, but that probably won't happen. Ah well.

Okaaaaay.... loadsa quizzes. So you know how much of a POTC fanatic I am.

*Squees* He is So HOT!

R.I.P, Steve :(

Things I hate in fanfictions:

1~ Bad writing. Seriously. I don't notice all of it, I'm not a grammar nazi, but if I see Voldemort or Hermione mispelled 1 more time.... And as another example of bad writing with absolutely no editinig done, here is a line I read earlier:
"Thanks Harry, this is my 'at home' look, but also I wanted you to notice I'm a girl, oh did I say that last bit out loud?"

Now, COME ON! Please try and make things even slightly realistic! I've NEVER met a girl who would even consider saying that. Actually, the only girl I could ever imagine saying that sort of stuff would be a total slut. And most total sluts aren't that bad.

2~ Americanisms in HP fanfics. Harry would never refer to his "Mom". He would talk about Lily Potter being his "Mum". I'm actually not too bad about this either, but again, people should at least try!

3~ HP/SS. I just really don't like the pairing. Snape creeps me out. I know that there's probably loads of great Snarry out there. this is just a personal preference.

4~ Albus Dumbledore in ANY sort of romantic relationship. He's way too old. Maybe if he got married about 100 years ago and the wife's still alive, I could cope with that. But as far as we know, he doens't have a family.

5~ Fics where Harry suddenly realises that everything he's ever done has been controlled by Dumbledore. I actually like Manipulative!Dumbledore fics, but there is a line somewhere, and most people don't seem to know where it is. Seriously, I don't like Dumbledore as a character. Can't say I liked what happened to him, but he definitely wasn't in my top 10 character list. But cut the guy some slack- he's practically the most respected and powerful wizard in the world - he could be a bit senile!

5~ In fics where Harry reads his parents will, and they specify guardians for him, have you ever noticed that 99 times out of 100, there's something along the lines of, "Whatever you do, Harry is absolutely never ever to be left with Lily's sister and her husband, Petunia and Vernon Dursley, as they are total magic-hating gits and will undoubtably treat poor Harry horribly"? It's fine to have Sirius Black and Remus Lupin named as preferred legal guardians, but COME ON! It shouldn't even have entered the Potter's heads that Harry should ever be left with them -they're muggles! It's obviously put in just to make Dumbledore look worse. See No5.

6~ If Harry gets a letter from his long-dead parents, ever notice how he ALWAYS starts crying after it? It's alright to have a tear or two in his eye, but "Harry finished the letter and started sobbing uncontrollably" is SO pushing it. He's a guy. Maybe if his parennts had written something that could even be considered somewhat sad, but
" Dear Harry, If you're reading this, then we're dead. Sorry about that. We really wanted to see you grow up. I hope that you're happy living with Sirius, as our will clearly specifies. If Sirius can't take care of you, then you should be with one of the other 8 secondary guardian choices and DEFINITELY not with the Dursleys. You should be reading this on your 12th birthday, as we have told Gringotts. Anyways, we're secret millionaires and we own half of the wizarding world, so you're now the most politically powerful and the richest wizard on the planet. In Gringotts, there are seven different vaults belonging to you. It turns out that your mother isn't actually a muggle-born, but she was adopted and is actually the secret heir of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. So you're a pureblood too. In all of your different vaults, you will find long-lost books that contain a cure for lycanthropy, the after-effects of the cruciatus curse and loads of other things that we didn't do. There will be also loads of cool weapons that we really shouldn't even own, never mind be passing them on to our underage son. There will also be deeds for all the properties and businesses you own. For example, you now own Hogwarts, the land the ministry is built on, 74 different properties in 24 various countries, and shares in practically all of the companies in the wizarding world, as well as loads for the muggle world too. Anyway, we have to go. We love you, Mum and Dad. PS, We made Peter Pettigrew the secret keeper and DUmbledore knows this. Hopefully Peter's not actually on Voldemort's side, because if he is, we're screwed!"

That letter wouldn't make we weep for my dead parents. I'd probably faint. Laugh hysterically out of shock. Weep, no.

7~ Ever notice, in letters such as the one above, if Wormtail's mentioned, it's also always mentioned that baby Harry always hates him? Seriously, is Harry a seer? If he isn't, he shouldn't dislike Peter for no reason. If he is, why doens't Harry do better at divination?

8~ I really don't like the way there seems to be more slash stories than het. Don't get me wrong, I like slash. But in my opinion, Harry's WAY more likely to get together with Parvati Patil than Draco Malfoy.

9~ How there really isn't enough Harry/Remus/Sirius threesome slash around. I know I complained about there being too much slash in No8, but since there's so much, why couldn't a little more be devoted to the greatness that is Sirry or Harry/Remus/Sirius?

10~ M-preg. I don't actually mind it, but how come it's ususally Harry that gets pregnant? And let's face it; guy's can't get pregnant. And I really doubt the wizarding world has a way around that. If Harry want's a kid so desperately, he can use a surrogate mother. Or he could adopt. Growing a wombs is going a bit too far.

There, my rant about that's done. If anyone reads this, please comment. Tell me what you agree with, disagree with, and if you have anything to add.


On another topic, my best friend's annoying me. She's copying my style. I've always been the punk one of my group of friends, she was the more fashion-concious, going-to-discos, having-more-boyfriends girl. She's actually told me that I've changed her. She likes my image better than her own. I feel a bit jealous. It's my style, not hers!

But, according to her, I'm "the exception to the rule". I'm not really a punk. I can listen to most types of music (but not country or hip-hop), I get really good marks, I have a good fashion sense and apparently I'm a great dancer. (That's all her words, not mine!)

So, all my ranting over!

On a last note, I got an A* in my maths GCSE! I did it early, and doing the rest next year! I'm really happy about it!

Well, he is one of my favourite characters. Along with Harry, Fred, George and Sirius, of course!

I'm hyper. Really, really, hyper. I don't know why. A few minutes ago I was laughing my head off at nothing. I have to keep moving. Typing keeps my fingers moving. Thats good. Very Good. Yes.....

I don't even know WHY I'm high. Or what on, for that matter. Being nervous makes me hyper. My old physics teacher made me nervous. He gave tests every other week. Bad combination!


...

Actually, I've just hit that low. No more hyper me :( Shame....Ah well. It was good while it lasted!


I want to start writing again. I really want to keep writing my current fic, but I'm not making much progress. Correction, I'm not making ANY progress. I really should write some now, come to think of it...
I've been bitten by another plot bunny. I've been threatening my friend with someting along the lines of "Read this or I'll kill all your favourite characters off!". That, combined with a romance that's been spinning about in my head, and a suspicious lack of ghost fics that I like (No offence to all the ghost-fic-writers out there, but I most I've read seem to involve a lot of Snape, and I'm not a huge fan of him...) so I want to develop a plot for that, and maybe it'll be a one-shot. I dunno.....

I fell so bloody tired. That's probably because I should be in bed, but screw that. I haven't updated here in ages! Not that anybody reads it....lol. But thats not the point. This is here because I want to just babble and rant mindlessly, and if anyone is reading this, you're just going to havbe to listen (read?)

Anyway, me and my family went to the greyhound races in Lifford last night. We own half a greyhound and it was racing last night. It didn't win, in case you're interested. Came third. But apparently we didn't want it to win anyway. Having it not win will "increase the odds" next time round or something along those lines. So I didn't get to bed til really late and then I couldn't sleep very well. Add that to PE first thing this morning, and thats bad!

Heh, just had to put that in :D

Yes, I'm a fanfiction addict. I read it, and attempt to write it. I sent Friend 2 a few paragraphs I'd written (Not a story, not a chapter. P-A-R-A-G-R-A-P-H-S) over msn and she nearly punched me in school the next day. Just because it featured Harry Potter's corpse. She nearly cried. Which was odd, because what I sent her wasn't sad. A bit gross, maybe. But not sad. Nope. Then she attacked me because she thought Hedwig was dead as well. Mental....

I really need to keep writing. The problem with me is, I'll be in the middle of writing a fic, and an idea for another one will come into my head, and I won't be able to get it out. So I have about 5 barely-started fanfics written somewhere and another 5 ideas still in my head. Help...

If my friends could see that....

Okay, It's twenty-five past 12, {AM!), I should be in bed, I've got school tomorrow, I've just finished writing a rather pathetic (if I do say so myself) article that'll be published in my school magazine and I've got maths lessons tomorrow. You expect me to be in a halfway decent mood?

Well, I've got maths every day except Friday. I don't like maths. I'm doing my GCSE this summer and I'm not looking forward to it. Maths is incredibly frustrating. I know I'm good at it, but I'm at the back of the classroom, beside a window with a decent view and a radiator. Life is against me.

And I'm actually sort of glad to get that article out of the way. I've been asked by a teacher to get it in ASAP, and she probably would have preferred that it was in earlier, but I'm no robot! I've got plenty of homework to get through...*grumbles*

My friedns drive me MAD. They seem to argue nonstop. One hates Harry Potter, the other is the biggest gossip this side of the galaxy. Friend 2 also fancies a boy in her class, so every other sentence contains the word "Aaron". Really. And friend 1 has a major crush on Ronan Keating. She is determined that they'll get together, despite him being over double her age, married and with 3 kids. She said, and I quote, "If I kill his wife then we can be together". (So, Ronan, if you ever read this, watch your back!)

Me? I like Daniel Radcliffe, but I don't go on non-stop about him. I think my friends are just about aware I like him. Gah.

And while I'm complaining, I might as well complain about my little brother. He is ultra-annoying. Seriously. He actively tries to kill Friend 2.
