Not actually dead yet...
Dec. 4th, 2005 09:18 pm...but might get there soon if I have to read more essays. Not that they're bad just that I begin to twitch after about 10. In about 2 1/2 weeks I will be off to Ireland for Christmas; I just have to hold on till then without going mad from lack of sleep.
About a week ago I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Ron grows more uncomely by the film, doesn't he? (Or is that me?) He is beginning to look like a deranged and pasty second-rate Romantic poet.
My new big passion is Hermione and Viktor Krum, because the actor they cast for the role was seriously rather fetching in a brutish, might leave you behind in the dacha with 5 children under 7 way. I normally am not attracted to this look, but it was tempered by his youth so I was smitten. And Hermione looked so cute with him until the heavy hand of Ron-jealousy ruined it all in a teen angst way.
Like many a foolish person before me I went looking on fanfiction.net for stories about this pairing (or even the characters). The horror! The Mary Sues! (Based on Krum lusting after other women) The improbable plots where Krum or Ron (or both - I didn't check) were abusive bastards from whom Hermione had to be saved by some unlikely hero.
And as I still don't get the Draco Malfoy love - he's an incompetent little upper-class git in my opinion - I am always astonished with the amount of stories that feature that overbred twerp.
