Girl across from me is hugging herself shivering...
Trying my damndest not to laugh because it’s hot in here and if she’s seriously cold that’s REALLY funny. And I’m not just saying it’s hot because of my cold tolerance. It’s HOT. I’m sweating.
Also this might be one of my last updates today, because while campus has power and wifi, my apartment does NOT thanks to the rain/tornado warning/alleged...

FIRST PRACTICE TONIGHT!!
SHSU Quidditch will be having its first practice of the semester tonight at 6, on Upper Pritchet Field. So pretty much same-time-same-place as last semester. I’m super excited.
Also we’re having an informational meeting tomorrow in the LSC at 6:30 for any bearkats who may follow me who aren’t on the team yet. Yeah. You should go. We’re awesome people.

Should the unthinkable somehow happen tomorrow and we all get shut down, I want everyone to know that it has been an honour to know most of you. My username is my facebook term, so if you get to the facebook homepage then add /Senpaichan, you can find me. If that goes, then well. It’s been lovely.

The future of quidditch is at risk.
You may think that the Stop Online Piracy Act will only affect music downloads. But it could also make it much easier for corporate entities to shut down fan communities and related websites all over the internet.
The IQA, the HP Alliance, Mugglenet, Leaky Cauldron, and hundreds of other websites could all become suddenly...

okay, honestly? the gender ID thing makes me SO HAPPY :D :D *heart clutch* Also the fact that there’s a third gender option when registering as a player. Sports (especially high-level competitive sports) is still not a safe space for a lot of people, and I know from our team’s experience that there a lot of athletes who appreciate having that space.
To sum up: IT IS, IT...

"That's the second message in a week I haven't...
No, this is the first message in a week you haven’t gotten. The first one was “if your mom gets in at a decent hour, have her call me but it’s no big deal I’ll just talk to her on tuesday” and I was pretty much tired out of my mind, but I did write it down for you.
No, I didn’t listen to the message on the machine. Yeah, it wasn’t beeping, but OH LOOK...

aparticularlygoodfinder replied to your post: I want to make a costume…
I feel like something from Avatar would be totally doable - none of their costumes/outfits seem terribly labor-intensive from what I’ve seen. I’m not much familiar with the show itself or anything, but that was my first thought.
I could try out this armour template thing I found online, but I’d have to make the...

Why you should never drunk text a Whovian.
A friend of mine randomly got a drunk text from a stranger. She then did something that has earned my respect and awe. A transcript of her conversation follows. Some of this may be familiar to you.
Warning: VERY LONG. Also, words that I don't like have been bleeped out. Use your imagination.
[Transcript] Drunk Person: "tortyly drunk riht now. straight men everwhere."
Erykah: "Oh, thank God! I finally made contact! Listen, I need your help, but you're in great danger."
DP: "ni**a say wat?"
E: "Listen, my name's the Doctor. I'm a time traveler, or I was. I'm stuck in 1969 with my friend and I need your help to get my spaceship back."
DP: "u hav a spceshit?"
E: "Yes. It's a big blue box that says 'Police Call Box' on it."
DP: "dat doesnt sound liek a spceshp. gay."
E: "Hey! Don't diss the TARDIS!"
DP: "tarsiddd???"
E: "No. TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. You see, I'm a Time Lord from ANOTHER planet called Gallifrey."
DP: "y u not there now?"
E: "Well...A long time ago, there was a war and all my people died except for me. I'm the last Time Lord. So I travel through time and space lending a hand wherever I can."
DP: "woahhhh. thats relly sad."
E: "Yes, it is. But now is no time to cry. You're in a lot of danger and you need to help me."
DP: "waot. how r u in 1996?"
E: "I'm in 1969. And it's really complicated."
DP: "oh."
E: "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff."
DP: "im cofussed."
E: "Well, try and keep up! Never mind the wibbly stuff. All that matters is that they've taken it! The angels have the phone box."
DP: "wut angels?"
E: "Have you ever seen like a statue of an angel? At a church or a cemetary or something?"
DP: "ya."
E: "Well, they're not angels. They're creatures from another worlds. Aliens like me, except they're very, very bad."
DP: "dat maeks sense. they alwys creepeed me out. i thought theyre jus statues tho."
E: "Good eye, you've got. But they're not. They're only statues when you're looking directly at them. Once you look away, they become deadly."
DP: "whaaa?"
E: "Listen, Lonely assassins, they were called. No-one knows where they came from. They're as old as the universe, or very nearly. They've survived this long as they have the most perfect defence system ever evolved. They are quantum-locked. They don't exist when being observed. The moment they're seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice. It's a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing, they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone. Course, a stone can't kill you either. But then you turn your head away, then you blink, and oh, yes it can! Notice how they always look like they're crying in the cemetaries? They're always covering their eyes?"
DP: "dats nuts! ya, ive seen dat."
E: "There's a reason for that. They're not weeping, they can't risk looking at each other. Their greatest asset is their greatest curse. They can never be seen. The loneliest creatures in the universe. And I'm sorry, I am very, very sorry, it's up to you now.
DP: "but wut can i do? tis was all thrustted uopn me!"
E: "The blue box, it's my time machine. There is a world of time energy in there they could feast on forever. The damage they can do can switch off the sun. You have got to send it back to me!"
DP: "ahhhhhh!!! im scrrd! idk wut 2 do! im srsly gon hav a pnic attck."
E: I'm afraid I can't help you any further. I'm stuck in 1969, but I think you're clever enough to think of something. FIND THE BLUE BOX AND GET IT BACK TO ME! The angels have it and you NEED to find it or it's all going to be over."
DP: "dont go doctr! help me!11211!!"
E: "They're coming. The angels are coming for you. But listen, your life could depend on this. Don't blink! Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink! Good luck!"
DP: "ik! angels hng out in gravyards rite? ill check thar 1st."
E: "Wherever you feel the need to look. I have no idea because I'm trapped 42 years in the past. Wherever you do go, just remember DON'T BLINK."
DP: "omfg. holy shit. i'll find teh box and teh angels and ill text u wen i find it. goodbi doctr. uve liked changgged me life."

Favourite thing about holidays:
I get to see my siblings and their families. I almost never get to see my nieces and nephews, ever. This morning/noon I got to have lunch with my brother and his family, which was amazing. I love them so much, I wish I could see them all more often. And soon - hopefully! - I’ll be able to see my sisters and their families.
In addition, they all surprised me with things I actually wanted...

With me, it was sudden. I’m the only one in my entire family with anything like this. It was very sudden, I saw a new doctor for a physical, she noticed that I was vitamin D deficient 2 years ago, and told me about this disease. Then she asked if I had been having any bowel problems, to which I said yes, because I’ve always had horrible gas (which has been present since…...
Are you talking about ME or--?
transveganzombie replied to your post: Is there anyone who developed - was not born with - a gluten allergy who can tell me how it started?
You developed it when you were young, most likely; introduced to it too early, and it got worse over time. That’s just my guess, I cannot know for sure without your medical history or knowledge of food history, etc.
Because - as I said - I did not develop...
