I flipping CANNOT wait until HPATDH :)

Moooooviiiiiiesss.

Also, my mother found this website. I'm hoping she doesn't make a habit of it...

L'orange de chocolat est tres bonne :)

So lately I've started a new project for myself. I'm making desktop wallpapers based on characters from films/tv shows, without using their faces, their clothes, any of the things they say, or any other really obvious way of showing who it is.

It's quite difficult, but I've managed three so far. Take a look!

Hermione Granger (Harry Potter):


Morgana (BBC Merlin):


Mrs Lovett (Sweeney Todd):


The last one is my favourite, and also the first one I made. It was made before I'd decided on the rules for myself though so it does feature a little bit of Bellatrix which I would change if I could be bothered but I can't.

I suppose that next I should tackle a male character... but that will be extra difficult for me. I haven't decided who to make next yet, so if you have any ideas drop them by me. I thought about doing Merlin or Arthur but ended up staring at the screen for a while before giving up & making Morgana haha.

Oh by the way the writing on Morgana's wallie is 'dierne dryicge', which (hopefully) means something like 'secret sorceress' in Old English - which is what the writing team use when they write spells in the show. I think that's just about obscure enough to get past my own rules lol.

Anyway I was thinking maybe Captain Jack Sparrow next? Ooorrr Robin Hood?

EDIT:

Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean):

(Second attempt)

Hufflepuffs need more love.

Errmm. This is Harry Potter fan-art. I know I'm a geek, I don't have any excuses for myself haha. This is a picture of Quidditch fangirl trying to cheer up the nervous Hufflepuff team before a game. Other innocent breakfast-eaters are a little alarmed and do not want to be associated.

If I'd thought for a second before hurriedly colouring, this could have been Luna Lovegood with another one of her eccentricities but never mind lol.

I couldn't be bothered to crop this. That's how much effort went in haha.

*weeps loudly*

I'm rereading Harry Potter 7 at the moment, and I just got the bit where Fred Weasley dies.

Definitely the most upsetting HP Death :'( Flipping good book though.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Is going to be awesome.

These guys are so cute:


This is what they're all wearing to the wedding, which they're actually going to start filming on the 10th of August. I love Hermione's dress, even if it doesn't suit the character..

blahblahbalh.

I do not have too much spare time.

(I really do)

IT IS SO HOT! UGGGH.

I'm frreee!! Just like....

Haha xD

Okay, it's not a very close link, but that's what I was thinking of as I walked home lol :P

but anyway..

YYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!

I'm going to go dance around now. To this song.

I love him.

Not even joking.

I ain't got a motorboat, but I can float your boat

Mmm. Slightly sleazy title. A good start, I think.

So this morning they released the stories that the professional writers wrote for the Waterstone's "What's Your Story" contest. Obviously I poured over the Jo Rowling entry & after some reading issues (she really should try harder with her handwriting :P) I eventually got the story, which is a lot better when you're not pausing to go "is that a g or a j?!. It was too short though ;)

Once I got over that though, I explored a couple of the other stories on the list, my two favourites being Neil Gaiman's (which is quite clever for such a short story) and Lauren Child's - which is HILARIOUS! I relate to it completely, lol! I decided not to read the ones which had difficult handwriting, simply because I think it takes away from the story itself if you have trouble reading it, despite the charming overall effect. I haven't looked at them all though, will probably do that some other time.

It was never my intention to brag..

Went to UCLan today for an applicants day thing. The best bit was probably the train lol xD I love trains. Shh I'm normal ;)

The uni was alright, but it all looked a lot like where I live now lol.

Got covered in rain on the way home from the station, so I had to get changed and now I'm doing my hair again.

Ah well lol.

In other news: Looook. I don't know if the idea's terrible or genius. Should be interesting though, eh?

ETA: Bwahhaha - might take some of these ideas :P

Shh. You know that listening to Westlife is cool.

South Park LOL.

Disclaimer: I love redheads :) They're prettier than blondes.



Life

Dr Pepper & Noodles. Mmmm.

Well this morning I went shopping.

I spent all of my money.

At lest, all the money that I'd taken out of the bank, which was a fair bit.

Got all sorts of stuff, inc. new top from Next :) I love Next :D

However amongst all this money spending I did get a Big Issue, to make me feel a tad less guilty lol.

Harry Potter 3 is on later, I'm sure you'll join me in watching it ;)

A moment for the HP fans...

Yes, yes, I know. You're not all Harry Potter fans, but I am, and I'm the author of this blog so nerr :P


Guess what!! (won't really ruin book 7 if you know about this, because I didn't know until after I read it)

Dumbledore was GAY. I know!

I think that's so awesome. According to Jo he was in love with Grindelwald.


xDD Awhhh. And everyone thought that he fancied McGonagall ;)

I like to boogie on a saturday night..

Harry Potter.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I don't -really- know what to say.

I think that at some point I heard most of the story told through theories over the past two years, so none of it was hugely surprising. However I have probably read thousands of theories about it and I can't say I had any idea of which ones were right. If you haven't finished the book yet, go away.

Bits I loved-

- The Death-Eater Meeting was excellent. I remember reading the descriptions in the first chapter and smiling to myself. I'd always imagined the meetings to be a bit like this. You know, big fancy house, murder plotting, a dangling corpse. Perfect. And the mention of Andromeda (she's such an interesting character) Excellent.

- This leads me on nicely to my next point:We meet Andromeda and Ted Tonks! Wooo! They're brilliant. I love that Andromeda is a little bit of a Black. She has little delicate tables and an Aspidistra plant in her house and in book five Dora Tonks says that she's really good at packing (gets the socks to fold themselves and everything)

- Mrs. Weasley "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH". I'd always known that Molly had that wonderful side to her. She won't sit down and take it, she'll fight back. My personal theory is that Molly was a bit of a trouble-maker like the twins in her Hogwarts days, but being a mum has pushed that aside to make room for the kids. But every now and then she's pushed to the edge and the wand isn't just for washing up and stirring soup anymore.

- Snape is good. All those memories made so much sense, and I love how just before he died he asked Harry to look at him (so that he could see Lilys eyes) And Snape's Worst Memory brings on a whole new meaning!! There we were, thinking he was upset that the whole school saw his pants - but really it was because he called Lily a mudblood! Ahh I love how these books work.

- I liked how Harry insisted on digging Dobby a grave properly, instead of doing it by magic.

- Thank you, Jo, for keeping Draco alive. I wanted him to make it for some reason.

- Trelawney throwing crystal balls at the death eaters xD xD How awesome. Lavender would be proud.

- lol I loved when Fred and George took polyjuice potion and turned into Harry, then looked at each other and went "We're identical!" xD

- The talk between Harry and Dumbledore. I read it and was like YES DUMBLEDORE xDDD Although, I might need to read it again to figure out what the ugly baby/creature thing was. I really didn't get that, but it was probably because I was reading so fast. (you know how you read faster when the action in the book becomes more fast paced? Then you miss half the stuff that happens. It was like that)

- I love how Ron cheated on his driving test xD

- The final battle when so many people arrive. It just shows how loyal people were to Hogwarts (I was espcially happy when Oliver Wood turned up. He's awesome) I hope that they bring all the actors from old films in for this scene in the final film. Characters like Colin Creevey and Oliver Wood and Trelawney and Percy and maybe even throw in Gilderoy Lockhart or something. It'd be really cool to see all those familiar faces from the films coming together for the final one. And they could have Jo Rowling reading a narrative for the epilogue right at the end. lol I'm thinking too much about this xD

- The Ravenclaw Common room. Excellence. I love that you have to answer questions before you can get in.

- Kreacher being nice xD It was kinda awesome to see that side of him.

- Harry calling Voldemort 'Tom Riddle' - it was quite good to see his reaction to that.

- Narcissa asking if Draco was still alive when she was supposed to be checking Harry. In my opinion, she was faced by the drama of Andromeda marrying a muggleborn and being disowned by her family at a pretty young age and decided at the time that following Bellatrix was a much safer option but realised much later (once it was too late to escape like her sister) that she might have made a mistake. So I reckon she's completely terrified when Voldemort gets her husband locked up in Azkaban, gives her son a suicidal mission and then moves into her house, but she doesn't think that she can get out of it now without being killed so she just tries to roll along with it and keep her family as safe as possible without letting on that she's switched sides in her head. Can you tell that I just love these sisters so much? Blame Makani.

- George making jokes about losing his ear xD *snorts with laughter* I love those twins (why, Jo, why?)

- Dragonnnnn :] (for anyone that doesn't know: I love dragons lol)

xD I'm on Chapter 3 already lol. It's awesome.

Please don't ruin it for me, I'll get all hormonal and cry at you or something.

Off to Brymore in uhh about 11 hours. Wish me luck xD Full report when I get home, I promise.

girls become lovers and turn into mothers: so mothers be good to your daughters too.

I'm not entirely sure why I put that as the title.. It's probably because I can't think of anything else and because I'm listening to it lol ("Daughters" by John Mayer)

Umm right. So I have 10 minutes to write before the internet dies lol.

Weeell sister comes home for the summer tomorrow, so the parents will be out all day - and brother's got his prom in the evening. I'm pretty much going to have the house for myself for a little while :) Anyone care to join me? lol :P (if you're taking that seriously, at least clear it with me first, kay? heheh)

Ummm.... Ooh I'm starting induction week on Monday - apparently we have to dress smartly. If only this had been made clear to me. I'll probably wear black trousers on the first day and then just wear whatever lol. It's not like anyone was sent home for wearing jeans in the exams.

Just got some photos back from mums camera of me in various situations, ranging from Christmas to the prom - mum doesn't take photos very often lol.


Ummmmmmm.... HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. Hahahaha xD I'm going to a midnight opening at Waterstones with my mum lol BETCHOO JEH LUSS xD

And the films out soon. And so's Shrek 3 - I think that's out today actually. WOO. lol :P

DOFE EXPEDITION NEXT WEEKEND OH MY LIFE WE'RE GOING TO FAILLLLL.

And now you know how my summer is going :P Toodles xxxxxx

I'M BAAAAACCCKKKK!!!!

...and I have MISSED you!

Siriusly, life just isn't the same when you can't come home and rant about it to your lovely readers. I'm sure most of you don't bother to check back (seeing as I've neglected you for 17 days), but hopefully one or two of you will fly by some day.

So much has happened--

Oh wait, no. That's a lie. NOTHING HAPPENED.

You have not missed anything, dear reader.

I have taken several exams, many of which were horribly boring, and most of which I didn't do nearly enough revision for.

In other news,

F R E E E E E D D O O M M M M ! ! ! it's still slowly sinking in that I've got 10 weeks (minus the time that I'll be away from home) to do whatever I like. Mmhm sounds good.

Will go to the library and read until my eyes begin to look suspisciously square xD

Speaking of books, am SO excited about the new Harry Potter book. Can you say geek? I know, I know. But I just can't WAIT. Still kinda concerned for my sanity though, as will be forced to spend a week knowing that the book is available but that I can't have it until I get home. NADJ:SKJo;edjfiedlfjwiekfheufndkln. Bleh.

Nanywayy anyone looking forward to induction week? No? Really? Would never have guessed..

Catch y'all in a bizzle, my loverrs. You'll be hearing from this gay moose and I before long, fer sure.

-Lindley xx

Geekyfullnessity.

Harry Potter Trailer...


Teehee x]


YEAH!

July 21st, a day to look forward to xD

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: a book I'm kinda looking forward to more than is absolutely necessary/healthy.... (also the last book in the series)

Problem: The release date is the same day that Brymore 3 starts. WHAT DO I DO?!!! I'm going to have to go to a midnight release somewhere, buy the book, come up with some kind of agreement with everyone to not blank them all the way to Brymore, also read as much of the book as possible without crying, and spend all of my spare time there reading and re-reading the rest of the book... and possibly weeping in the loos...

Do you think there'll be an internet connection I can use so that I can be like "SHOCK HORROR!!" to all my online Potter fan friends? xD

Hehehe.. In other news, went to the dentist today. Still have two baby teeth, one of them is wobbly..

Hurrah for growing tall very fast and developing late for everything else.. (have been watching Disney on Youtube way too much for the past couple months now lol)

Oooh and blogger says that my blog has been updated.. Have yet to muck around with all the new features lol :P
