The Birthday Meme, AtE and the Dungeons

How are you supposed to write a short subject for your journal? I never seem to be able to... it's all as if you're planning to compress what happened in your day to one line. Which I can't do. Because I'm important. *sniffles in self-important manner*

;P

( AtE Theories--Am I correct? )

( The Dungeons )

And now, the Birthday Meme: (I have *no* idea how to encode strikethroughs...)

OCTOBER:
Loves to chat. Loves those who love them. Loves to take things at the center. Inner and physical beauty. Lies but doesn't pretend. Gets angry often. Treats friends importantly. Always making friends. Easily hurt but recovers easily. Daydreamer. Opinionated. Does not care of what others think. Emotional. Decisive. Strong clairvoyance. Loves to travel, the arts and literature. Touchy and easily jealous. Concerned. Loves outdoors. Just and fair. Spendthrift. Easily influenced. Easily loses confidence. Loves children.

Lies but doesn't pretend - I lie *and* pretend. >:D
Gets angry often - Au contraire. I am a very serene and calm person. Mostly I just don't care. ;)
Easily hurt but recovers easily - I am *not* sensitive. Neither do I recover easily. Or perhaps I do. I'm not sure about this one; I don't think it's ever happened before...
Opinionated - I debate, but that's for official activities. Otherwise, I am very neutral on things.
Emotional - I will deny this to death. I hate getting mushy and seeing it. Yech.
Decisive - *scoffs* *snorts* *giggles* This for the girl who couldn't decide where to sit in an empty bus? ;D
Touchy and easily jealous - Nah. I think I'm unassuming, for the most part. Indifferent would describe me perfectly well. Wallflower. Therefore no reason to be jealous, if in the first place you don't assume to be in a position to be jealous.
Easily loses confidence - I don't think so. I don't lose confidence; I lose initiative.

The idea is to take which Birth Month is yours, then strike out any that don't apply. The explanations to the traits with striked out are an addition of mine, because, as the first description say, I love to chat. :D Birth month descriptions are in the LJ cut:

( The birth months )

Well. That was a long entry, and I think I've been overabusing LJ cuts. :D

Will be coming up with new icon by tonight, hopefully. :P

ETA: My hunch was right! I know how to encode strikethroughs! (perhaps I should remove the strikethrough on Strong Clairvoyance. Yes, I think I'll do just that. :D) All I had to do was put in S instead of, say, B when we usually want to put our text on bold. Am very smart. *is proud*

HELP!

Crap. I need help.

Can anyone please please please tell me where I can get a webhosting place that doesn't have ads? Brinkster suddenly inserted ads in their websites, and it is doing horrible things to the Quills site, over here.

At the very least, do you know any sites that provide pop-up banners? I'm super desperate, and I hate having to subject visitors to ads, but if Brinkster is going to stick em in every page and ruin the frames structure of Quills, then I want to move.

*cries*

Help?

After the End--more musings

I am pathetic. Three LJ entries in one day. I am procrastinating. I should have done all those things I was planning to do: Study. Read up. Organize. Clean. Finish that peer evaluation form my friend gave me for her application to Dartmouth and Mount Holyoke. Nanashi. (Only six more fics left to read--Christ, what's taking me so long?)

Well, made a new icon. Took a leaf out of al_riddle's book. *points* Very proud of myself. *nods proudly*

The Quills icon will have to go, for now. I can't bear parting with the Slytherin icon, as it's a staple in my comments to persuade_me's entries, and the Big Sisters Anonymous cannot go unless I feel rightfully confident Draco *will* be left alone. *is protective*

Anyway, here it is. Just one more theory, actually, but someone *did* say she enjoyed reading about people's theories as they read. ;)

( AtE Theory #3 )

I think I've gone mad. I'm theorizing like crazy over a fic. It's becoming obsessive, really... But truth be told, it's quite fun doing a bit of guesswork like we did with all four works before OotP came out. :D

And I swear I'm mixing up the dungeons with AtE... First that letter with Ginny dated 1999. I could have sworn AtE was set in real time, but apparently it isn't. The Dungeons, however, are.

And Hermione coming over to Harry's at the Notch, saying all those things about how she wasn't as close to Harry as Ron is, but she's there for him anyway?

I was thinking to myself that that's probably because Ron and Harry have snogged quite a couple of times more than usual. Not in AtE, Slumber. That part belongs to the Dungeons.

And the Remus and Sirius interaction in AtE? Priceless. Almost like the HP books. Pure subtext and merciless hinting, but never anything concrete. *groans* Sometimes I mistake their interaction for what could possible happen in the Dungeons world.

Any fellow het-and-slash fans out there? How *do* you balance? ;P
