I'm a victim....

...of d_c_m's Harry Potter match quiz. (yes, I'm procrastinating again, but at least at this point my paper is half written)
Anyway, I'm most unhappy with the results. I want Sirius, dang it. But I refused to let myself pick the answers I thought we get me the "right answer" and instead went with answers that I actually *believed* and I paid the price, for I got...

I mean, Alan Rickman is hot, but Sirius is the only Harry Potter character for me...

Hogwarts Story: Part 13

I'm relieved to say that my paper is done, yay! My 10 page double spaced paper turned out to be 14 pages 1-and-a-half spaced, though 2 of those pages are diagrams, so hopefully my professor won't notice how much longer it is than it's supposed to be - this is after I cut two sections too (well, I never wrote the two, so I didn't cut them per se, but they were part of my original outline. :) ) This paper is a new record for me. See, I used to be a shameless procrastinator, but in the last few years I've slowly become...responsible. I had to do a chunk of the research for this paper for my presentation yesterday, but the actual paper isn't due until next Friday. I've never finished a paper a week early before...it's weird. :) Two papers down, one to go...

In other news, I was most annoyed today to discover that WinMX is no longer free. I know, I know, musicians deserve to get money for their music. But I also feel that musicians should be held accountable for producing quality music, not schlock. When I find music I like (after free downloading) I go out and buy the CDs. I've bought more CDs because of downloading than I ever bought before the beginning of Napster. So yeah, I want to download music, and I can't, and I'm sad. :) I'll recover, though. I'm thinking about actually, imagine, paying Napster or some such. Anyone tried any good pay-for-music programs?

The Hogwarts interlude last night was much fun. Yay, sappy conversations! :) Also, I'm starting to believe that Denny's as an aura, that, no matter where you are, no matter who you are with, no matter how little or well you know the people you are with, if it is 3 AM and you are at Denny's, everything will be funny and awesome. I've had far too many late nights at Denny's in the last 5 years (before then, I'd never even *been* to a Denny's). I'm looking forward to the game tomorrow. It's the inception of my officially being an AST (at least I think it is) and I'm rather nervous, I'm not a particularly experienced GM (I've run 2 one shots and two campaigns, one of which died horribly after about 2 months and other of which I run online every Tuesday night for deadmanwade, eviltophat, mistress_sin and xaniquen, who are all friends from Binghamton except for the dead man. ;) ) but I think everything will work out, I have some self confidence somewhere deep inside. :)

Anyway, enough rambling, on to the writing!
