Apart from that... I may take this up again, to a certain degree. I may have to delete my old posts and totally reinvent myself. Wouldn't that be fun? I've missed here anyway. Maybe my next post will be within the next year. =O
I'm sorry to sbp_aloud... I never got round to recording, which is terrible, and I'm so sorry to have been such a nuisance. I hope that next time I get involved in something, I'll be loyal.
Onwards and upwards! |

It was actually very fun, even though I was deprived of the Internet and Fairly Odd Parents for so long. I saw a ridiculously large number of men wearing kilts, which I actually think don't look too strange, however weird the concept is.
Scottish accents are love. <3
But I'm now behind in RP, Fic-reading and I still need to record for SBP. *sigh* Damn holidays. |

I love the shoebox_project so much, it's almost painful. It's like... crack. A comparison which is made ALL THE TIME. Whoever doesn't read it shall perish, I say! And I don't actually ship Remus/Sirius... well I do, but now Sirius is gone (BUT HE WILL BE BACK) it's all sad and a lot of the fics are 'SIRIUS RETURNS FROM THE GRAVE/EBIL VEIL.'
But I get to read for sbp_aloud and it makes me giddy with happiness. xD
And cult_sbp is amazing too. It's like a family or something. Yay. *waves sbp flag* |

Last night, I had my first real Harry Potter dream... (gah). I account it to the large amount of time I spent listening to the Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack. On the other hand, it was horribly realistic.
Cut because it's terribly long and I don't want to mess up anyone's flist.

Me? I stole/borrowed from novacaine_kick
I solemly swear, that I, emerald_ashes, will not stop reading HP. I will not throw, rip, destroy the books in anyway possible, or just act like the biggest moronic noob to ever walk on this planet, if my chosen ship Harry/Draco DOES NOT happen in canon, in HBP. I will try to accept whatever ship it will be and get on with it without any hissy fit.
I, emerald_ashes, also won't act like the biggest bastard noob to ever walk on this planet if my chosen ship Harry/Draco DOES happen in canon. I will not make fun, provoke or scream to the entire world that my ship was chosen and so and so's wasn't, 'so go up yourself' sort of behavior. Face it! Whatever happiness I will feel, means that someone else will be saddened by the result, so I will not pour salt in another person's wounds!
... But I still reserve the right to go through a short period of mourning when if my beloved Harry/Draco ship doesn't happen in canon.
^.^
But - in other news... ish. For some strange reason, 'Acey Slade' from the 'Murderdolls' was in Nottingham when I was in with some of my friends. They're all death metal fans (I was happily carrying about my new Beatles CD) and so we went over and everyone was crowding round, saying things like, "OMG SIGN ME.". He signed my hand. (I've forgotten why I wanted him to. To make other people jealous.) And he signed this random's spoon. O_o
For those who don't know, the Murderdolls have delightful lyrics such as, "I hate your voice, I hate your face, exterminate you from the human race." O_O.

Except - We have a flasher guy around the school in my town. Apparently, there was these two little Year 7's happily walking across sites when this random man jumped out of a bush... completely starkers. One went into shock and the other screamed. I believe the naked man ran after them for a bit but then got bored. But how he's managed to do it to 10 people, even though there's teh police and CCTV cameras everywhere, baffles me. The teachers are all worried that he's going to turn violent. The students wander around carrying baseball bats. xD
I suppose it's quite serious, but most people find it hilarious. *rhyme*

| | The Beatles - Help! | ] | You know, sometimes I forget just how much I love H/D. I sort of drift after a while, simply because I've read so many fics and they've all sort of melded together in a big mess of FICNESS.
BUT - I was flicking through musinglibertine's site 'Concealed' and the fanart she has there. Suddenly, I was hit by just how shexeh not ONLY H/D is, but slash is in general. I mean - it just is.
And it makes me wonder how I could have ever found it weird at all. It just seems so normal to me now it's hard to remember it's not normal to others. I suppose it's like that for other things as well. I betrayed it a little though with my over-enthusiasm for these guys at a party to kiss. O_o.
Ack - I'm addicted.
*Bribes JKR to put Harry and Draco together in teh books*
But it's so UNFAIR. They just SUIT each other. Oppisites attract and all that? Gah - I know it's just old raving about things like this but... *sigh*

*Brushes dust off journal*
Speaking of dust, I found some of my old diaries from years ago; back in my old Star Wars fandom days. Ha, I'm so strange in my obsessions. I think once I was convinced my D.A.R.E. teacher was an evil werewolf. Ah, those were the days.
What was I going to say? Ah yes, I was going to recommend a fic to my non-exsistant readers. Well, I could easily reel off a list of my favourites, such as maxine_chan's Starts With A Spin. (Which is amazingly brillant, you must know)
But there's one that's so beautifully written, it actually made me cry a little at the end. It's got the best in-depth description I've ever read. Take time out to read it, please. (It's H/D, by the way. ^.^)

Somtimes, I amaze even myself with my ignorance.
Livejournal has gone all strange. All the text is dropping down to make a frightening 'where-have-my-words-gone?!' effect.
O_o
AHA! My harry/draco fic of greatness is being written! Although, the way I'm planning it they won't get together until far into the depth of the plot. Which is unfortunate, but necessary. The smut will come, just... after a little angst and tension first. And it begins in a dungeon, how original! But not in the Slytherin dungeons. *evil smirk*
I won't go on. I'll get the first bit written a.s.a.p. but there are only so many description terms in my mind. Tears cannot glide down your face. *sigh* *scribbles out*
I made my own icon. Eeep. *glares at it* Ah well.

I now live in fear of one of my RL people finding this journal. I had to take my e-mail and Yahoo ID off because my meddlesome friend-boy found my old account with it. I had to pursuade him that of COURSE I don't ship Harry/Draco. *shock* He still told everyone at the friday night club thing I go to. It was all right though, people just shook my hand and told me they were into it too.
I pah my friends.
I NEED a Draco film poster. Does anyone know where I can get one? O_o

I felt so unhappy when I got home today. I walked into my bedroom and it was cold. The lights were off and a bottle of Peppermint essence had spilled across my desk. Trailing into the indents of the scarred wood and making a sticky trail in it's wake.
It's like the days are slowly getting colder, even though they should be getting warmer.

I've actually become suddenly less lazy and I've started working on my first Harry/Draco. I feel like a child who's only just beginning to talk; sometimes I feel out-of-depth in the pure complexity of other people's fics and I know I can't spin that web of intrigue. I can write description, sure. But to really get to grips with the complex maps of the characters is taking me longer than I could ever imagine.

| | The quiet humming of the Laptop. | ] | I thoroughly loathe laptops. Well - I loathe my laptop anyway. Not only does the '"' key appear where the '@' should be, but it has a frustrating habit as logging on as the Administrator... which has none of my stuff loaded onto it. After I've waited for it to load, then clicked 'log off' and then watched the screen turn to a delightful grey colour, I've had enough.
The keys are weird, the mouse is not a mouse at all and the buttons are all in the wrong places. It's a nightmare scenario, surely.
So I sit here, glazedly staring at the screen and refusing to take heed of the work piled next to the laptop. I decided that working in the comforting light and warmth of the living room was a good idea - perhaps not. The circulation to my wrists is slowly being cut off. I hope there's a better design out there that this one - a 'Notebook' laptop.
And I have to laboriously find all of my favourite Harry/Draco slash fics again; as my favourites on this computer date back to 'The Official CBBC Website!' and 'Neopets'.
I declare war on you, laptop of doom!
And I'm on a favourite list of one person on FFnet! Yeah - I know most have a zillion people who have favourited them, but it's big for me.

So here it is - the livejournal. I think of it as a new chapter in my life, a new beginning, and a fresh page. Maybe in the distant future, someone will read this. And they will think "WTF.".
I ruined my introductory passage. *sigh*
But how does one go about introducing one's self? Well - I'm a writer, a dreamer and a reader. So all in all, a thinker. I have aspirations to do well, but doing them is a completely different matter. But! All will become clear in the not-so-distant future. And until then; I will continue writing, dreaming and reading my life away.
Whether be my priorities right or wrong, it does not matter. Because, after all, life is but a game!
