Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not allowed to get even slightly irratated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before.<br /><br />In turn, though, you must repost this in your own journal. <br /><br />Those of you who are new now's a good time to ask questions :D<br /><br /><br />And this one appears to be doing the rounds again:<br /><br />You know the drill. Guess what song these lyrics come from.<br /><br />1. An older version of me, is she perverted like me<br />2. Where'd you come from? Mississippi. and your parents? Very wealthy.<br />3. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world<br />4. Life's not a song, life isn't bliss, life is just this<br />5. There's not much more to say, but I hope you find the way<br />6. If you weren't so wise beyond your years, I'd have been able to control myself<br />7. Where do we go from here? This isn't where we intended to be<br />8. Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing<br />9. I'd rather be jumping ship<br />10. in fact your best friend I heard he spent last night with her, now how do you feel?<br />11. When will I begin to live again?<br />12. Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning<br />13. My head is saying, fool, forget him<br />14. I was always brave and kind of righteous, now I find I'm wavering<br />15. My favourite shoes, so good to me, I wear them every day<br />16. You gave away the things you loved, and one of them was me<br />17. I don't wanna move a thing, it might change my memory<br />18. it's all ending, you gotta stop pretending<br />19. The poor protect the wealthy in this world<br />20. I'll never grow so old and flabby, that will never be<br />21. Now, I can't stress this point too strongly, this story isn't real.<br />22. Ain't it funny how I'm finding out now<br />23. I could tell she liked me from the way she stared<br />24. Lost in ecstacy, spread beneath my willow tree<br />25. I need santa beside me in everything I do urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:prec1ous_g0llum:74223 2005-07-18T21:29:35Z 2005-07-18T21:29:35Z <a name="cutid1"></a> Well, I couldn't have got that more wrong if I tried, could I? Even when I found out some arse was posting Snape-related spoilers, I guessed that they had said Snape was going to die. I know the world and his mother have been predicting Dumbledore's death for ages, but I was seriously convincedd it would happen towards rthe end of book 7, and that this book's death would be Lupin, at the silver hand of Wormtail. And snape was about the onnly person I didn't consider for the HBP.<br />Already posts are starting to appear speculating on whether Dumbledore will do a Gandalf and come back, just like they were with Sirius. Dumbledore, I'd say not. I don't quite see how he can considering that harry actually saw the body, unlike with Sirius. just the way it's all said, the way Dumbledore's spell on Harry lifts as soon as Dumbledore dies, ...I think he's gone for good. I don't know if anyone here thinks there's any possibility that Sirius will reappearr, but I will say one thing. People speculated on whether or not anyone else could now see Thestrals after seeing Sirius die, and if they couldn't it meant he was still alive. We didn't get an opportunity to notice either way because Harry travels to school separately with Tonks rather than taking the school carriages, the return journey is not shown and there are no Care of Magical Creatures classes shown either. No Thestrals. Make of that what you will.<br />(All right, all right, I'm kinda hoping.) But at the same time I'm not sure he will come back, since Harry inherited evil Kreacher and Grimmauld Place. Which brings me to my next point: I know the world and his mother already posted this, but RAB is so obviously Regulus Black. he uses the Death Eaters' address for Voldie, he was killed by Death eaters for reasons never specified, and there's supposedly a reason why Sirius had to die. i think Harry was meant to inherit the last Horcrux, which I bet will be the last he finds, he hunts high and low for it and then realises the bloody thing's been under his nose all along. The first one I think will be found at Godric's Hollow when Harry visits his parents' graves and whatever else he does there. i also think there is one which is a relic of ravenclaw's and that Nagini is a red herring. He's already got a Slytherin relic, I think a Slytherin relic and a snake is a bit too much.<br />I'm not sure if Hogwarts will close or not. It's always possible a letter left by Dumbledore to be opened in the event of his death will turn up saying that Harry should continue his education. Wonder who'd be head of Gryffindor in the event of that happening?<br />I've always been very much R/Hr, but I'm actually wondering if there are a few H/Hr hints there, such as the way Hermione surprises Harry by having memorised his words to dumbbledore's Army, and the waay she reacts when she fidns out Harry told Slughorn she's the best in the year. I'm starting to reluctantly consider the possibility that Ron will die after getting together with Hermione, then Hermione will end up turning to Harry. That's one I'm actually hoping I'm wrong about though as the person I really want to see Harry with is Luna, not Ginny and certainly not that Romilda freak!<br />Fleur seemed annoying at first, she didn't seem like the same Fleur who'd taken parrt in Triwizard. Still she's not as annoying as Lavender Brown. "Won-won". Please.<br />Snape...I'm really not sure whose side he's on now.<br />You may leave your comments telling me I'm talking crap now. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:prec1ous_g0llum:72612 2005-07-08T20:47:12Z 2005-07-08T20:47:12Z Well. yesterday.<br />It was quite a busy day at work. Yesterday was the deadline for all the local schools to get in their applications for funding for their special needs children, and we ended up with twice as mmany as we expected so the whole week's been really hectic. Next thing I know, Mum's ringing my mobile to ask if I could remember which part of London my cousin Stuart lived and worked in. i didn't think anything of it at the time, as she'd caught me at a bad moment, just said I wasn't sure off the top of my head without looking in my address book, which I didn't have with me. Turned out he's right in the area where yesterday's explosions were.<br />He's okay though. After much frantic phoning of his mobile which nobody could get through to, and phoning every relative, Aunty Wendy eventually got through to his work. he was away from his desk at the time, and whoever she spoke to just said 'Oh, he's about somewhere.' They didn't bother passing the message on that she'd called, and about two hours later Stuart rang home asking why nobody had rung to ask how he was, and complaining that he had to walk 4 miles home. Typical.<br />I can smile about his reaction now. It didn't even really hit me at the time I first heard about it. It was only after I got home, saw it on the television, thought about it, that it hit me how things could have turned out so differently. far from having to walk the 4 miles home, he could so easily have not made it home at all.<br />I don't really know what else to say. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:prec1ous_g0llum:69473 2005-06-12T17:22:27Z 2005-06-12T17:22:27Z I'm in a bit of a weird mood at the moment. Maybe I'm just irritable becasue of my computer going bananas and Mum getting ratty because she can't print something or other off on her laptop because it won't accept her disks, maybe I'm feeling weird because I remember it was graduation this time last year and that's on my mind a bit. <br />Oh, I'll post when I'm in a better mood. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:prec1ous_g0llum:54809 2004-12-31T14:58:20Z 2004-12-31T14:58:20Z Your past life diagnosis:<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.<br />You were born somewhere in the territory of modern North Australia around the year 1275.<br />Your profession was that of a preacher, publisher or writer of ancient inscriptions.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Your brief psychological profile in your past life:<br />Timid, constrained, quiet person.
