As you most likely already know, we love you. Jensen loves you too. Would have written you a fic, but I'm kinda hitting a creative block lately. Sorry. But hey, Jensen loves you, that should be sufficient.


one; That was the first graphic I've made in a really long time. Guess Mr. Padawhack is what it takes to pull me out of my lazy Photoshop block. Heh.


two; Joining in the freak out, OMG DEATHLY HALLOWS. I'm kinda screwed though, since I'm still re-reading Goblet of Fire. I should really skip straight to Half Blood Prince, but I'm still stubbornly clinging on the thought that if I don't sleep, I should be able to finish everything by 7.01am, July 21. Why oh why didn't I start sooner? Okay, forget it, I''m moving on to Half Blood Prince.


three; I should write something about the end of Harry Potter, shouldn't ? (NO SPOILERS) Something about how it has changed my life completely and how it is most possibly the best piece of literature and adventure in this century? Uh well. It is quite something, I have to say. I have the utmost admiration for Ms. Rowling. The world that she has created is nothing short of amazing. From Hogwarts to Diagon Alley,  from Albus Dumbledore to Severus Snape, from Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans to Butterbeer, she has invented a universe so enthralling that you can't help being sucked in. (I remember back in Primary School, one guy insisted to a teacher that we should take the broomsticks from our classrooms and play Quidditch during our Physical Ed. lesson. It was hilarious.)

Not only is the story utterly captivating, her style of writing is potentially cynical and so sarcastic at times, which makes it fun and very entertaining. What amazes me the most, however, is how the stories have substance. It isn't singularly blunt action adventure. The underlying themes about friendship, courage, love, family, among others, ground the stories in realism even which in unbelievable settings.

Rowling is, perhaps, the only author that can write thousands of pages and still not lose her readers among the millions of words and chunks of sentences. Some may say she's overrated, but look at the status of Harry Potter now, 2 million copies pre-ordered on Amazon alone. It's a worldwide phenomenon, and The Boy Who Lived will definitely continue to live on. J.K Rowling, and Harry Potter, is beyond any rating.

I got a little carried away there. I should go back and read my Goblet of Fire Half Blood Prince Goblet Order of the Phoenix. Grr.


four; This song is amazing; sara bareilles - gravity
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love,
And not feel your rain.

Mood:: 'happy' happy
Music:: sara bareilles; vegas

I'm reading Goblet, also, about 200 pages in. I fear that I'm not going to finish in time, even though I've barely been sleeping (four hours of sleep in the last twenty-four). Read Goblet so I'm not alone and so there's nothing you miss. =)

I first started reading HP when I was about five years old. It's so strange because I'm turning 15 this November. I grew up with Harry, and I'm so glad to say I could.

Oh, and by the way, happy birthday Jared! <33

Ah well, I think I am going to continue reading. I tried watching the movie, but it just isn't the same. I guess it's no sleep tonight then. =D

Late reply, since I went into hibernation earlier.

But wow, can't believe it's over.

And thank you. *blushes* You have great taste in music too! I still love the Ane Brun songs you send me so long ago. =)

ah, jared...

very well said about harry and the gang. the phenomenon that rowling created really is amazing. what i like most is that it has gotten kids to read. i can't believe it's been out for 10 years now! wow! and it's so sad that after saturday there will be no more new adventures.

I just finished it yesterday. Just reeling from it. Ahh... Can't believe it really is over. =(

I read the first two, skipped over PoA and GoF and jumped right into OotP before I saw the movie, and I am now reading HBP in preparation for DH.

Late reply, so I assume you finished the book? Amazing, isn't it?

Yes, got it on Saturday afternoon, finished it Sunday night. It's fantastic.
