I can't believe we're moving in just a few days. We get to start moving stuff in on the 29th and the movers are coming on the 30th. It'll be weird because I've lived in this house my whole life.

I am so sick of packing boxes. I never want to see another box in my life. They will haunt me in my sleep.

Harry as a horcrux. That is an interesting theory. Even though Harry would have to die, I think it would still be a good enough read that I could cope with it.
Ah, the Harry Potter movies... I've been forced to watch the first two, but managed to tune them out and avoid the third. I generally hate movie remakes because it jsut irkes me that they don't hold true to the book. I understand that some things need to be cut out, but the characters never look like I think they do. Especially in Harry Potter. I mean, they've got their basic features, there's jsut something about them that seems wrong. I think it's just me. (Some remakes are good though! I can't generalize).
Ohh, Descendants of Darkness. <--delighted. My friend lends me the maga to read. I've only gotten some of the way through the second because it's a new collection for her, and then it took awhile for her to lend them to me. I like it none the less. Maybe I'll check out fanfiction for it.
Eh, I don't think Sirius and Remus together would be my cup of juice. (Note: I don't like tea, or atleast only VERY few kinds. I get picky about that.) Not that I have anything against guys together at all. In terms of 'real life', since it doesnt apply to me, I've jsut never really cared. ::small shrug:: I like it when Tonks supposedly liked one of them, though I wish she would have made it so that she liked Sirius. Her and Remus together jsut seemed so out of order.
I know what you mean about being shy about your work. Thinking about, I don't think I even let anyone read mine. At all.
Lately, my mother has taken to reminding me everyday that I go back to school on tuesday. I know she doesn't mean to do it on purpose but still...

I like watching the Harry Potter movies. I just usually end up (at least) minorly disappointed at the end. I still plan on going to see Goblet of Fire when it comes out.

Descendants of Darkness is one of my favorite series at the moment. I finally saw the anime around a week ago and I have all the currently released volumes of manga (I'm impatiently waiting for #7 to be released next month). I've been reading fanfiction that pairs Tsuzuki & Hisoka (I find them adorable). If you want, I can give you some cute Tsuzuki/Hisoka fanfic recommendations.

I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to relationships. Actually, I think it was reading manga and watching anime that made me into such an open-minded person. That and the fact that one of my good friends came out of the closet earlier this year. I've been really supportive of him.

*shrugs* Not everyone likes the same pairings. I didn't really give the pairing of Sirius & Remus a lot of thought. I'd always really liked both their characters, but that was it. One day I ended up reading a really well written fan essay in support of the pairing. It even cited possible examples of their relationship from the books. I really got into the pairing when I read "The Shoebox Project", which is a really fabulous piece of Sirius/Remus fanfiction, set back when they were still at Hogwarts. It's one of my most favorite pieces of fanfiction. I am in love with the authors' style of writing.

Maybe someday I'll be brave and let a select few of my friends read the little work I've done. The thought of my real life friends reading it makes me kind of nervous.

Do you have an e-mail address or a screen name? I've been enjoying talking to you!

Re: um...

[hana-to-yume.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'll take the fanfic recomendations for Tsuzuki/Hisoka. And also, which ones did you read that you liked so much about Sirius/Remus? It may be interesting to check them out.
I think being to be open minded is nesscesary. I hope I am, but I think it takes an outsider's point of view to know. It's really good about your friend and all. If anything like that would happen at our school, that person would be made fun of so bad, so I hope he doesn't get any shit.
hey..::poke poke:: you should let me read some of your stuff... If you were afriad I would make fun of you (even though i wouldn't) you may still be comforted by the thought that I'm too far away from you to actually do any real teasing. <--just put you on the spot...opps. Its ok if you don't want to. It was just an idea....

I've enjoyed talking to you too. (woot, I've made a friend)<--little kid mode.

Re: um...

[hana-to-yume.livejournal.com]

btw, I jsut relized that it souded kind of harsh, and rude, the way I said that your friend would be made fun of at my school. What I did neglect to mention is that he would be made fun of becuase everyone at my school are idealistic, closeminded pieces of...pond scum. And they're anti manga(for the most part). So, It would be a "It's tehm not him" situation. I jsut wanted to make sure that you didnt misunderstand me and take offense.

Re: um...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_yaten_kou_/]

Oh, don't worry. You didn't offend me. The sad thing is most people are very close-minded. (They make me really mad.) My friend doesn't get a whole lot of shit at our school, because he's only told his good friends. I know there are people who suspect he's gay, but they don't really know. If everyone knew he'd get a lot more problems.

Here's the links for a bunch of short Tsuzuki/Hisoka stories:

Have fun!

As for Sirius/Remus here's the link to the essay I mentioned:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/elwing_alcyone/11152.html
As for fanfiction there's a ton of good stories that I've read, but I definitely recommend reading "The Shoebox Project". It's 23 chapters at the moment and still going. It's so funny and very sweet. It also has wonderful illustrations to go with the story. Here's the link: http://www.livejournal.com/community/shoebox_project/
You'll need to go back a page of entries on the site to find the 1st chapters.

Let me know what you think of the fanfics!

I don't think I'd mind letting you read a few of the stories. I think it's easier letting someone you don't know read them, than letting people you actually know read them. I need to type them up though, because right now they're in a notebook. I want to proofread them a little, too. Once I've done that (it could take a few days for me to get off my lazy butt and do it) I'll send them your way.

Here's my e-mail and AIM. I'm not on AIM a lot, but I pop up from time to time. I'll probably be on sometime this weekend.

Thanks for all the links! I haven't even started on the Tsuzuki/Hisoka stuff (I haven't had much computer time today) but I did read the essay about Remus/Sirius. I was so...happily suprised. I really enjoyed reading the entire thing. I was fun. And, I haden't expected it to be so convincing, but boy, it was. I'm about as converted as I could ever be. The author did bring up a lot of good points, things that I would never have considered or noticed, I don't know which one.
I'm really looking forward to reading your stuff. Take your time with. I've been known to be pushy, so if I end up baggering you, you can jsut tell me to shove it. So yeah, it's at your leisure.
I'm going to have to slowly wade my way into all the Tsuzuki/Hisoka links, but I'm definetly sending the essay link to a friend of mine. She's into Harry Potter, so it will be interesting to see whether or not she adopts the same point of view about Remus and Sirius.
(Pauses to think about the essay.) (Wonders how I never noticed the things like them always staring at each other; and acting as couple; and mostly that they didn't notice girls; they never had a girlfriend or anything....)(goes on and on)
I wonder how JKR would react if she read that essay. Would she be like "Oh my god no!!", or "I was wondering who would figure that out", or jsut to be annoying "Well, I never decided, I jsut made notes about that on a whim, to see if it raised any suspicions. But, it doesn't mean anything".<-proves she tortures readers. Gah, maybe she jsut added in that Tonks thing just confuse us. That does throw the theory off completly.
Now I'd really, really like to go to a signing or meet her so that I can jsut shove the essay uder her nose and run away.

Re: um...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_yaten_kou_/]

The essay is awesome, isn't it? I know a few people who've been converted into fans after reading it.

Yeah, I wonder how JKR would react to the essay. I'm sure it would be am amusing sight. I've often wondered if JKR meant for them to have a relationship (there's an awful lot of stuff in the subtext). She's so tricky. I'm sure the woman loves confusing us. And then she threw the Tonks thing in. That made a lot of Sirius/Remus fans upset. A lot of fans have either taken the view that Remus is moving on in a relationship with Tonks, after Sirius's death, or that Remus doesn't really love Tonks back. Personally, for now, I've just taken to ignoring Tonks's feelings.

I'm thinking I'll send you two of my short fics when I'm done revising them. I'm happier with them than I am with the other two and they won't need as much fixing up.
