There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Thoughts on Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince No spoilers here. Just links to them.
This explains my thoughts really well on the matter. So well, it's almost pointless to re-write it all myself. (Another good one is here.) I know it's a lot of text but if you just read 652 pages in a day or two, it's not much. Heh.
I still stand by the fact that things are not as obvious as they seem. Rowling never hits you over the head with something, so the most obvious of events actually push me towards thinking they're the most conclusive - in the opposite way that they're presented. Things are, quite simply, not as black and white as they seem to be.
I've got such mixed feelings on this book. I want to read it again and at the same time, I'm cranky at it. Much of it didn't "feel" like a Harry Potter book. A lot of it felt forced. At the same time, after six books, you really are deep into the world; you really want to go back and explore and see what you missed the first time around.
It's going to stink waiting two years again. Heh. Though I hope I haven't figured it all out before then. I already have some pretty solid thoughts on what might happen in the final book. While I'd love to be right, it'd also stink to read it kinda already knowing what would happen. Rowling says the final chapter has already been written and has been locked away in a safe for years now. I guess it's just the getting there.
I wonder if she has people that do nothing but surf the net, reading discussions on her books, making note of their theories and such to see how much they're really picking up on and how much they're missing. Talk about feedback for a book. Maybe it'd even be a way to throw a wrench into the plot - every one things A so she changes it to C just to break expectation.
Hrm. Well, this has turned more into me sitting and thinking (and not typing) then actually writing an entry. I really wanted to pass the links along. Feel free to come by and join our discussion on my board if you'd like. :)
I Was On The Moon At The Time - With Steve Check out google moon for a neat close-up view of the moon. (Similar to the earth satellite maps they have.) Just don't forget to zoom in ALL THE WAY.
*Bonus points if you know where the entry title comes from.
Finished So I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. I can only read so slow. Heh. I was trying to stretch it out a bit so I was only reading small bits at a time.
No spoilers here, just...sorta blah. I enjoyed it and yet I didn't. The ending didn't sit right with me and not for the obvious reasons. (I think it's pretty obvious that things still are not what they appear to be - or have been made to look - in terms of aliances.) I don't know. I think I need to digest it a bit.
