LOL at Merlin and the dress. (see: moodtheme)

I'm typing this in the computer lab OMG BOY NEXT TO ME NEEDS TO SHUT UP!

Anyway, there are a few things on my mind that I would like to share. I'll leave them in bullet points. Or squiggly lines, since I like them better.

~My dad had surgery this morning, open heart surgery, to replace a valve in his heart. Since I'm still in school right now, I don't know the outcome of that, and it's kind of freaking me out. Yeah.

~So much to now, OMG. I can't remember why I started writing this.

~I don't know why I am able to see my page and post an entry, but I'm not allowed to see my friends page or Inbox. :(

~Oh I remember now. I wanted to know do any of you make/listen to podcasts or podfic? I had so much making my voice post the other day that I am interested in doing something like that more often.

Um, there might be more, but I'll leave this entry to go for now and let you go with the rest of your day.

I just have some pimping to do today, so bear with me!

First off, is hpotterland! This is similar to communities such as spnland and hereosland, if you're familiar with any of those. There are four "teams" or "houses" and you are sorted into one of them. This being Harry Potter, the teams are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. I'm personally on Ravenclaw and a team leader! The four teams compete against each other with different challenges to earn the most points. The team with most points earns the House Cup! Sounds exciting? Click here to apply!

The second community that I'm pimping is thehogwartslife. This community is a fanswap, in which you provide a series of prompts, (5 in all), and then someone will create a gift, be it fic or art, based off the prompts. The cool thing is, you get to choose which prompt you create! However, your required to complete the claim in one week. Overall, you'll be creating five gifts in eight weeks, and in turn you'll be receiving five gifts! Does this intrigue you? Info can be found here, and the sign-up post is here. But hurry, sign-ups end on August 26th!

LOL I am boss at advertising. I could be the next Billy Mays.

Ms. Gilbert is the author of Eat, Pray, Love, a book that I am currently reading and enjoying very much. She makes a lot of cool and interesting points in this video.

Olé!

Walter Lord repeatedly states in both his books, and his introduction to "The Discovery of the Titanic" that the sinking of the magnificent ocean liner was an end of innocence. All of the people involved in the making, building, and financing of the ship were all so very sure she wouldn't sink. And yet on that fateful night, they were all proved wrong.

The last Titanic survivor died yesterday, a mere babe when the ship sank in 1912. Does this signify an end of era as well? With no one to actively remember events surrounding that night, (although any memories were that of her family's, and not her own), does this mean the fascination with the tragedy will cease?

Time will only tell.
