THE VERY SECRET DIARY OF AN ANONYMOUS HARMONIAN

Bunny provided by several people - you know who you are!


Disclaimer: I am not poking fun at H/H shippers (I know all too well what it's like to love a ship that isn't canon). I'm poking fun at the crowd who went completely insane after HBP, and who continue to inspire us all.


( 'Still not canon...' )

*dies*

I am listening to "I Wish it was Christmas Today" (the SNL Christmas song with Horatio, Jimmy, Chris, and Tracy) on repeat and giggling like a complete fool.

It's all llembas's fault.

Ahhh, BS. It is a fine and subtle art form, especially when one is writing about John Ruskin's opinions on architecture. Free of charge, here are my small pointers towards writing quality BS:

1. Adjectives and adverbs. Seriously, they are invaluable, helpful tools which enable any harried writer to subtly stretch out even the shortest ideas, while appearing to have an uncommonly praise-worthy descriptive technique.

2. Footnotes. Footnotes are great because they take up a lot of space. In most papers, they can end up filling a whole page.

3. Block-quotes. Quote long passages from your sources. They make you look really dedicated and rooted to the material, and they take up tons of space.

4. Go back and put in even more adjectives and adverbs. They are your friends.

The papers are actually going pretty well; I have about 15 more pages to write total. And since most of those are about LotR, it should be no problem. On a random note, I downloaded the theme from Schindler's List, and I've been listening to it over and over. It's so beautiful.

Reason #746 to watch Conan every night: you might get to see Superman and Gandhi in a fistfight.

This thing is addictive and great. Some words of wisdom that we gleaned...

"As you make your Choi, so must you lie in it."
"They that dance must pay the Alyssa."
"A man is known by the Dee he keeps."
"Do not wear out your Alyssa."
"No man can serve two Haldirs."
"Too many Chois spoil the broth."
"Dee come, Dee served."
"A man's home is his French Whore."
"Every family has a Choi in the closet."
"You cannot have your Legolas and eat it too."
"It takes Dee to tango."
"Spare the rod and spoil the Alyssa."
"Every man has his Choi."
"Never speak ill of the Bort."

And finally, my personal favorite, "When in doubt, do Aragorn."

Happy 25th birthday to Shan-o. =)

This weekend I get to put together a class presentation on the "Pre-Raphaelites' Response to the Academics," based on The Germ. *hides under desk* If anyone knows anything about my topic, the text, or even the Pre-Raphaelites in general, please leave a comment - or a paper.

I'll close with some Alyssa wisdom that I found as I was going through my saved chats and IMs. I returned to my computer one evening several months ago and was greeted with the following on my away message:

fudgebiscuit: i once met a ham who wrestled me and took my purse
fudgebiscuit: his name was hamgeorge
fudgebiscuit: I didn't like him from the moment I set eyes on him
fudgebiscuit: he was a tall, shady ham character
fudgebiscuit: smoking a cigarette and his hat was tipped at a jaunty angle
fudgebiscuit: he had a coat draped over his arm
fudgebiscuit: and he spoke with an english accent
fudgebiscuit: and as he was talking about the weather he grabbed my purse and tried to run
fudgebiscuit: >:\ evil ham
fudgebiscuit: not all hams are bad
fudgebiscuit: but most are
fudgebiscuit: they're sick of oppression
fudgebiscuit: this world just wasn't made for ham

I.... couldn't agree more.

Went out to eat Chinese with my parents and my brother, and following the age-old, respected tradition, we added "in bed" on the end of our fortunes:

-If it is to be, it is up to me. (Dad)
-A joy shared is a joy doubled. (Me)
-Remember, it takes 40 muscles to frown and 17 to smile. (Bobby)
-When someone says 'Life is hard,' ask them, 'Compared to what?' (Mom)

I just watched a commercial for a gadget called the "Ding King." I kid you not. Only $29.95 plus shipping. Anyone interested?
