01:24 pm - A Christmas wish

I just realized, that I will not be recieving a single Christmas card from any of my favorite authors or artists within the Harry Potter fandom.  Is anyone willing to send me one?  It is so dreary, because I recieve no mail for Christmas.  I am not sure why this is.  I suppose my family and friends are just not into the whole U.S. postal service thing.  I don't know if anyone will see this, let alone respond to it or send me something, but I figured this would be worth a try.  If you are willing to send something to me, like some Snarry art, please let me know and I will give you my address.  I know this is pathetic and begging, but I so love to get mail, especially at Christmas, and the idea of not getting anything makes me really sad.  Anyway, I hope someone sees this.  I love you all whether you read this or not.  Thanks!  And Happy holidays!!

09:47 am - back home

So I am back at School now. I am happy to be back, but I do miss my family. I had such a great Christmas break this time that I didn't want it to end. Of course, I am so happy to be back with my boyfriend and my friends, but I miss my family. It is strange. I usually cannot wait to get away from them. But I genuinely miss them. Very strange, indeed.

But I am glad to be back, too. I just went to our school's basketball game last night, which was really a lot more fun than I thought it would be. We won, of course, which made it all the much better! Anyway, I am in class right now, so I will update again soon. I just wanted to keep all updated with my whereabouts.

Oh, one more thing: 
GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

01:37 am - all i want for Christmas...

Dear Santa,
I have been a very, very good girl this year, and I have a few requests for you that I know cannot be bought at a store. Please give me the following:

- Nuke. Anyway I can get it. I want Noah and Luke kissing and having sex before the New Year! I want them to have more airtime and I want confessions of love and a Nuke movie where the boys get married, adopt some babies and have lots of on-screen sex.

- Assassin's Creed to be made for the Wii, 'cuz I cannot afford a whole new system just for the one game.

- JKR to write the Harry Potter Encyclopedia, which should be at least 3 volumes with at least 2,000 pages in each.

- Snarry. Whatever that might be/Whatever you can give me. Pr0n is always lovely

- A house elf to clean up my room at home and who can tidy up for me back at school.

- New fanfiction by Aucta Sinistra.

- Nimbus 2007 (Assuming they make that model).

- A penguin.

- Harry Potter fanart by all my favorite artists.

- Boys kissing.

- Lots of new Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, Nuke, etc. avatars for my collection.

- Daniel Radcliffe.

Thanks Santa!

Love,
Liz

01:54 am - nuke me!

Right now I am supposed to be writing a six page paper that is due tomorrow at 1:00 PM. But I doubt it will get done tonight. I just don't have it in me to write about the historical evidence of the existence of King Arthur.  Really, I cannot make myself write a paper about something that doesn't even matter.  Who cares if Arthur existed or not?  I am just tired and run down from all the school work I have had recently.  I am really ready for Thanksgiving Break, even though that means going away from Kevin.  That always sucks, but at least I will get to sleep in a bit.

Speaking of Kevin, the end of this month marks our two year anniversary!  *is proud*  This is the longest I have ever been in a relationship with someone before, and I am really excited about celebrating it!  I bought Kevin something really cool for it, plus I got him two big bags of Peanut M&M's, too.  I won't say what his big gift is, because I don't want to jinx it and have him find out what it is.  Just being precautious.

Oh!  I want to mention my latest obsession!  I love Noah and Luke from As the World Turns!  The more I see of them, the more I love them!  I have always had a thing for gay boys, but these gay boys are the best yet!  They are rapidly catching up with Snarry as my OTP.  I feel, though, that it is okay to have different OTPs in different fandoms.  But the point is that I love them!  Their relationship is so pure, and they are the most beautiful boys ever!  Van and Jake do such an amazing job at portraying the couple.  I even get sad whenever I realize that Van and Jake are not gay or together in real life.  They seem so in love on the show.  And they are so intense!  Which is just how I love my gay boys to be!  The way that they look at each other.  It is hard to believe it isn't all real.  In fact, I refuse to believe that Nuke ends when the cameras stop filming!  I dunno.  I just want something so beautiful to be true.  I have been reading a lot of Nuke fanfiction lately, and I love the stories people are writing.  I just cannot get enough of those boys!  They should have them kissing in every episode!  I always hope they will kiss, but they haven't done so in so many weeks.  Apparently, though, next week Luke says that he loves Noah, which will be so, SO wonderful!  I cannot wait til those two are forever together and in love and having little adopted babies of their own!!  I can barely contain my squees!!

Anyway, I have been wasting enough time, I suppose.  I just needed to talk about Nuke to cheer myself up.  Back to work now.  Hopefully I will get to sleep before six this morning.  School work is the bane of my existence right now.

Night!

11:05 am - a procrastinator's work is never done....

In a rare moment of having absolutely nothing to do, I decided that it is the time for me to write the Long Introductory Post.  I have been putting it off just for the sake of putting it off, but the time has now come for me to buckle down and commit to this new journal.

I suppose I should begin with some basic information about myself.  I did say that my name is Liz.  I am a 21-year-old college student from the north-eastern part of the USA.  I am majoring in English and minoring in Theatre.  I plan, upon getting my Bachelor's degree, to go to grad school to get my Masters in Library Science.  Yes, I want to be a librarian!  But not the mean, "SHHHH!" type.  I am part of the new breed of hip, young librarians with a nose piercing and everything.  I don't want to work in a school, not because I don't like kids.  Far from it!  I just hated school when I was there, and I never want to go back!

I do love college, though.  It is so upsetting that it cannot last forever.  I realize that as a college undergrad I have no real responsibilities other than my school work, which is, let's face it, not the most challenging thing in the world.  Not that it is easy!  Trust me, it isn't easy, especially not for me.  I have A.D.D., which is actually a learning disability more than a behavioral disorder.  Yes, that means I have a hard time focusing, but it goes deeper even then that.  It is just harder to learn certain concepts.  I literally cannot do math.  I am quite dyslexic with numbers.  I mean, I really do embrace my A.D.D.  I am pretty proud of it even, which some people find weird, I suppose.  It is all hard to explain, really, but I guess I could sum it up by saying that my A.D.D. is a big part of what makes me who I am.

Another big part of my life is my obsession with Harry Potter.  I think most people on this site understand that kind of thing.  I just love everything about it.  Period.  Now that the books are done, I am not sure what I will do.  The movies are still going on, which helps, but it feels a lot like I have lost a group of friends.  But I am keeping the Harry Potter dream alive.  I have a lot of Harry Potter memorabilia.  I mean, not enough seeing as how I am on a steady budget of $0.00 per week.  What can you do, though?  It's college.  

I went to the midnight release of Deathly Hallows with my boyfriend (more on him shortly).  I dressed up in all my Hogwarts glory (I have a uniform, which includes a movie-style Gryffindor sweater), and my boyfriend was very good about not being too embarrassed or overwhelmed by all the geek-ness.  It was a lot of fun...until I dropped my Authentic Replica of Harry Potter's Wand, and a little girl picked it up.  I asked for it back, but she claimed it was hers.  I was so surprised, I didn't know very well what to do!  I just stared at her in shock as she skipped off toward her father.  What was I to do??  Smack a ten-year-old?  I am not violent, no matter what, but I was flabbergasted, upset, and angry!  I cannot tell you how upset I was!  Just keep in mind that, even at my age, I could not help but cry!  Not just because a little girl just stole my Favorite Possession Ever, which was a birthday gift from my father a couple of years ago, not to mention fairly expensive.  I wept for the fact that a girl so young would lie right to my face, and also because I was embarassed for not handling it and letting her get away with it.  Also, the fact that I sometimes have panic attacks in large groups of strangers.  Since we were at a major city Barnes and Noble, surrounded by people I have never seen before (we were not in my home town), I kinda crashed.  I just got frustrated and panicky, which is never good.  So, I started crying, which is pathetic, and maybe I should have kept this to myself, but Ah well, I am an honest person who is used to sharing her feelings.  Anyway, my boyfriend calmed me down, and I got my books (one regular edition, one deluxe), and we headed home.

I finished the book, which did make me cry (what can I say?  I have a lot of emotion), and I loved it all (the book...not necessarily the crying bit).  And my boyfriend even bought me a new wand!  He had it sent to my house with a lovely note and was very nice to me about the whole thing.  I suppose he is used to it.

My boyfriend, Kevin (I probably should have said his name in the first place), is amazing.  I love him so much.  We will have been together for two years as of November, and I love him more and more by the day!  He is very funny, smart, and a really Nice Guy.  He does love to tease me though.  He likes the reaction he gets from me when he jokes around or makes fun at me.  Harmless stuff, but it can get annoying.  He is a smart-ass and a joker, who only takes things seriously when he has to, and some times not even then.  But I love him for it and would not have him any other way.  He is also semi-comitmentphobic, which just means he turns an interesting shade of pale green when he hears words like "marriage" and "forever".  But we are working on that! ^.^  I would marry him in a second!  He knows it, too.  I know he loves me, but right now he is completely focused on school and then getting a good job or going to law school.  He is going to be so great at whatever he does!  He has his stuff together!  Something I cannot claim.  I am a complete scatter-brain!  He thinks I am crazy, which is true and is really just part of my charm!  But we compliment each other very well!  I am the Darhma to his Greg, if you don't mind me using a late-90's reference.  But that describes us perfectly.  

I would think of other comparisons, but I think I have been focusing on this entry long enough.  Shiny things outside the window distract me, and I really just want to go chase them.  Kidding.  Sort of.  But I promise I will be back to write more about myself!  So, I suppose this is to be continued.  Until then, goodbye!

03:20 am - new journal

In all honesty, it is just so late that I am not sure what to write. I swear I will write a much more elaborate introduction entry soon. Right now, I must get to sleep!

I suppose I should at least give a name (I forget my manners when I am sleepy): Liz is my name.

More later, as I realize this is a dreadful first post.

'Night!
