I'm finally done with schoolwork for this semester. This last month has been hell. I think I took on too much... I was basically taking twice the amount of courses in the last half of the school semester, at two different universities, so I had to hand in three essays in the last week. But now I'm finally done. Yay! :D Although I'll probably have to write the book review again, because I know it was really bad. But I just didn't have the energy to make it better. Ohwell. :/

I know I'm a bit late with the update to the H/D HBP list. I'll try to do it tomorrow if I have the time. I'm going home on Friday (to Slovenia) for three weeks, so I'll have to pack tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it. :D I'm going to spend those three weeks being extremely lazy; meeting my friends, sleeping, reading, and sleeping. And taking pictures of cows ('cause it's tradition). It'll be great! :D

I found this cool site a while ago. It's basically children's art drawn realistically. It looks funny. Go look! I think this one is my favourite - it just looks so sweet! Although I like the gremlin/cat with boxing gloves too. I wonder how the drawing I made of my mum when I was four would look like. With the huge blue hair, huge head, and one leg shorter than the other.

Anyway, I'm still here. Till Friday at least. :)

Btw, does anybody know why I sometimes can't see art posts in LJ? There's no icon there or anything, just no picture where there should be one (others seem to see it because they comment on it). I tried it both with Firefox and Explorer, but it just doesn't work sometimes. Is it the Livejournal or my computer settings?

Happy birthday maxine_chan!!! :D

At the moment I'm trying so hard not to laugh at my boyfriend who's watching hockey. He's sort of shouting at the tv, but quietly, trying not to. And every once in a while he sort of bounces on the sofa, hehe. He's so cute. :D

ETA. I was asked to fix this entry by saying that he "is not shouting at the tv, but expressing happiness and worry". *snigger*

I was having a really good day until I was on my way home from my evening lecture and some drunk man tried to convince me to "keep him company" while I waited for the subway, and then grabbed my arm and pulled me back when I tried to walk past him. So I was completely paranoid the rest of the way home, and jumped every time somebody walked past me, and was on the verge of tears by the time I got home. I've never felt safe walking home alone at night (bad experience), and just when I was feeling a bit braver, this happens. I know I'm probably overreacting, but still...

I think I'll go sulk a bit now, stuff myself with chocolate, and then read something funny. A new chapter of Harry Potter and the Obligatory Sequel was posted today, and that's always hillarious, so I think I'll go read that. And then eat more chocolate. :|

Right. I've finally figured out how to set up the journal, even though it took me ages. So I guess I'll start by introducing myself first.

I'm rather new at the Harry Potter fanfiction scene. I started reading in November last year when I was bored of studying and was looking for something fun to do (and reading is always such a good excuse for me). I found the first few stories that I read on Immeritus, and then I followed some of the recommendations there. I became a "fan", so to speak, after I came across sam_storyteller's Cartographer's Craft. Since then I've been reading a lot of HP fanfiction, and have even been contemplating writing some myself (although that will never happen).

I read all types of stories, although I prefer stories with at least some kind of a plot – I do read an occasional PWP, but that’s really not my thing. My favourite types of stories so far are Harry/Severus or Harry/Draco, and stories that don’t have depressing endings (I need to be in a special mood to read the really depressing ones). I have a lot of favourite stories, but I won’t even try to enumerate them right now as I’m sure I’d forget some. I’ll try to make a list of them some day.

So, that’s it with the introduction, and my first ever post on my LJ. Yay! :)

Oh, I should probably say that I’m 24 (as of today) and that I live in Sweden. *forgetful*
