Holy HP Crap Batman!

Ok so I found out my favourite HP Fan Fic author whom I only assumed to be a teenage girl is a 31 yr old male!! Holy Cow! Ok back to Chapter 40...

My New Favourite Site

I have a new site to share that I have found. It's www.harrypotterfanfiction.com. It's fan fiction of the Magical kind. Ok so it's probably written by a bunch of over imaginative teenagers from all over the world obsessed with daydreaming about what happened to Harry next. I have to say that after reading some of the stories, I know why JK Rowling decided not to write any more follow up in her last book... Still the stories these people write and still fun and at times quite unique (seems to be a lot of stories of what if Hermione and Draco got together). Most of the stories containing "what happened after the Deathly Hallows" contain lots of crying and kissing and people getting married and having kids etc etc and maybe even a few reaccurances of Voldemort coming back from the dead, as well as a few other characters. The stories I am reading now are written by a writer, screenname LMB3. My only beef (though entertaining) is that she/he seems to make everyone fall in love and get engaged by the time they reach 17... Even having Albus (harry's son) falling in love at age 11 to an orphaned Witch from California. (the writer must be young) And lots of people in comas or coming back from the dead (she/he should write for Soap Operas). LMB3 still has managed however to entertain me and satisfy even the little "what happened next" I had milling around my brain.
http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?psid=230325 Chapter 37 Picking up the Pieces (what happened just after the DH chapters ended and before the epilogue)
http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?psid=231818 HP & The Legend of the Twelve (continues on from the Epilogue of DH)
http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?psid=241118 HP & The Final Chapter (about 5-6 years after the DH Epilogue, completing The Legend of the Twelve) This one is not complete BUT there are about 95 chapters (not very long chapters) complete out of a reported 100. By the time you finish the 95 the rest of the chapters should be complete.

NOTE: This person took into effect the books as well as interviews by JK Rowling but however did NOT catch the latest Family Tree on www.jkrowling.com in the Room of Requirement (Click the eraser/rubber on the main desk and then click on the door handle when you arrive) showing that Draco did not marry Pansy and that George's wife is not Linda (although they did have a son named Fred which LMB3 seemed to guess correctly). I assume she/he wrote these stories well before the Family Tree came out.

Ok now Im getting sick

I was fine until I reached my parents house now I am getting sick. My body was feeling a tad stiff after travelling for 4 hours so I took a couple IBProfs and went to bed. I woke up with a sore throat and achy body still! Oh dear... And my poor hubby is home alone with his poor hurty feet. Hopefully I won't get any sicker and will have no problem leaving tomorrow at a decent time. Pete's birthday is Monday so I need to be back to take him to Applebees or order in Applebees (Carside Rocks!). Luckily I have Tuesday off as well! We just won't tell work that I wasn't still in Chelan...Two weeks without Carolyn starting tomorrow! I will miss her but will enjoy the peace. And no honey, I can't leave the dog....

Weekend's Ruined...Thanks DHL...

Ok so it seems that I have NEVER had a problem or rarely have had a problem with anything being shipped to my house, but for some reason Everything wrong seems to happen to poor Pete. I think about half the packages that get sent to him the routing gets F-ed Up. Especially the times he needs them on a specific day. Now it's Pete's birthday on monday and we were all supposed to go over to Chelan (which we rarely get to do) and the stupid packages are still sitting at Seatac waiting to be sent out to the local hubs (which means deliver ON Monday when he was told and paid for next day-which should have been Friday). They are his presents he ordered for himself and was looking forward to them coming and play with them today so we could leave Sunday. But no, DHL or/and Fed Ex f-ed up again and ruined us going to Chelan... Care & I are leaving in about 30 min however so I can stay for at least a night before heading back home and spending Monday with my hubby (carolyn will be staying with grandma). This will be the first that we share together in person. I know I am sappy but I wanted to make sure that every holiday we missed being apart, we're together. So hopefully I can at least drag him out while we are childless for two weeks. :) I may need a can opener to pry him from his Electronic Dungeon....

Bringing Books to Work...

As I sit here at the front desk I typically see clients coming in, employees heading out for smoke breaks and lunch, and the occasional funny site of one of my colleagues heading out for his daily run with his trusty pooch...in a stroller (aging Dachsund). Yes I complain about my job but truthfully I do enjoy it. The people are great and I tend to receive off every day that I request. Ok, helps that my dad is the Owner. Today I Should be doing my work but I keep on getting distracted by a most entertaining book called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...you may have heard of it? Yes, I did pre-order it and read it the day it came out (in one sitting), but my lovely husband has decided he actually does like Harry Potter and I have been slowly reading him (skipping most parts) the entire Harry Potter collection. I have been fine up until this point but now that we are on the last book (again) I find myself drawn to it and unable to put it down, even if I already know the ending. Just one more page, just one more chapter and then I will do one more piece of work. I even find myself sneaking into the restroom to read a chapter, pretending that my lunch is the only reason I'm locked in there for 15-20 minutes. Alas I am getting closer to the finish line and am taking Monday and Tuesday off to visit my parents. Hopefully I will get it done in time so Wednesday is only devoted to work, and my slacking is my own doing and not due to my draw to another novel...

PS. If anyone has an suggestions on books to read let me know. I am almost finished the two books i am reading now.

Susie Foo

Ok so I was asked what is Susie Foo? A long time ago I was addicted to CD Compilations on ITunes and I used to make tons of cds with my favourite themed tunes on them and labeled them things like Susie Foo Sad & Somber, Susie Foo Pished (lots of drunken rock songs), That's Susie Foo to You!, etc etc. Pete thought it was quite funny and it stuck, especially when I made him a Susie Foo Love cd. I think a lot of them were hard rock, kick ass songs that basically told people to piss off. You know with lots of Heart & Dixie Chicks. (this is angry singleton, pre-Pete Susie Foo who couldn't get a date even if she dangled a tater tot casserole & frog eye salad from her head at a church social). Looks like it all came out allright, ditched the church social and prim boys who wanted a 2nd mother to marry, and started the rock albums and love cds (when Pete arrived) and enjoyed eating out more than cooking. I have yet to start a new album as I have ditched the Mac (not by choice but by lack of fundage) and Itunes (as it sucks on Vista, as does everything else). I may actually have to start understand Windows Media Player now just so I can make another compilation cd. Any ideas for a theme?

Born Again Blogger

Ok so I've blogged before but not for quite a while. Mostly I have just stuck to the addictive element of the endless survey, but never quite saying what exactly was on my mind. I am hoping that starting this blog that I will get more ideas and thoughts out and perhaps, just perhaps, come up with better ideas for that book I want to write. Right now I am going to keep this limited to those I invite so if anyone has a friend that wants to sign on let me know and i will add them. Uhh.. I think just Julie and Kellie are the only ones I know on this... Perhaps we will keep each other sane is this blogging world and try not to laugh Everytime the word Blog is said...
