I'm.. I'm sorry.

It's a Harry Potter meme.

The Books in Order from Favorite to Least Favorite:

1. Order of the Phoenix
2. Prisoner of Azkaban
3. Half Blood Prince
4. Deathly Hallows
5. Goblet of Fire
6. Philosopher's Stone
7. Chamber of Secrets


Number of Times You Have Read the Series:
I'm gonna have to say none! Just 'cause I've only read the last one once, and that'd pretty much disqualify me from this badly worded question! I've read the others a buncha times though. So you can suck it.

Favorite Chapter from Your Favorite Book:
In any of the books, the chapters where Harry gets all the mysteries explained. The rest of the book is basically just padding for these chapters.

Five Favorite Characters:
Tonks, Luna, Sirius Black, Grawp and Snape.

Three Least Favorite Characters:
Umbridge, Fudge and Percy. No question.

Favorite Member of the Trio:
Hermione. She was the only one who never emo-ed out or was a complete jerk. Without one of the others doing something jerky. Y'know what I mean.

Three Favorite Magical Creatures:
Merpeeps, the Basilisk was pretty mad, even if it was entirely inaccurate, and... Hippogriffs I guess?

Favorite Family:
I don't think there were that many families to choose from! Uhh.. so.. I guess.. The Weasleys? (Thanks Sarah! Hee.)

Favorite Villain:
I would say Umbridge, 'cause she's the one that made me hate her the most, which is I guess what they're meant to do. But I just freakin' hate her so much. So I'm gonna say... Lucius Malfoy. He's got so much style. And calm evil.

Favorite Death Eater:
I'ma say Lucius again! Out of sheer laziness.

Favorite Non-Hogwarts Magical Building:
That lollyshop in Hogsmeade. Maybe I'm just a sucker for sweetness. But gawwd. It always made me wanna go there.

Favorite Diagon Alley Location:
The pub!

Three Favorite Spells:
Alohomora! Expecto Patroooonuuuuummm! That one what rends! That the Half-Blood Prince cooked up.

Three Favorite Potions:
Felix Felicis, the Polyjuice one, and uh... I think there was a blue one in there somewhere? I don't know. Potions don't interest me! Apart from thinking "Why're they having so much trouble?! Surely if they followed the instructions!"

Favorite Unforgivable Curse:
Crucio! The Avada Kedavra is too evil, and I just can't quite work out how the Imperius curse would work.

Favorite Department of Mysteries Room:
The one with the brains! Or possible the Time one!

Biggest Surprise:
All that shite what happened at the end of The Deathly Hallows. I mean... WTF.

Biggest Letdown:
Sirius Black dying! He was the best character. But they made him a bad guy for most of the 3rd, ignored him for most of the 4th, and killed him off in the 5th. Dude! Gypped!

Favorite Mode of Transportation:
Portkeys, probly. They just sound odd.

Favorite Weasley:
Ginny. Man, I'd do her so quick.

Favorite Order Member:
Sirius Black. Until he's UNFAIRLY KILLED OFF. Then Tonks. Maybe we should smoosh them together.

Favorite pet:
Hedwig. I always wanted her. She was so pretty.

One Character You’d Bring Back to Life:
Well... Sirius Black or.. uh. Someone else. Who dies in the last book. That I don't want to ruin for people like Tom who haven't read it.

Moment That Will Always Make You Cry:
I, uh. I don't cry in books. Maybe I'm a cold unfeeling robot? I just don't know. But yeah. N/A

Favorite Hogwarts Room:
Dumbledore's Office. You could just stare at it for hours! And THEN start fiddling with shit.

Favorite Class:
Transfiguration, Charms or Defence Against the Dark Arts. Y'know, any of the ones where they actually learned junk.

Favorite Teacher:
Favourite I'd like to HAVE as a teacher? Probably Hagrid. Overall, probably Snape. As long as Dumbledore doesn't count?

Favorite DADA teacher:
Well, that's an annoying question! It'd have to be Lupin, even though he annoys me, 'cause all the others annoy me far, far more. Hmph!

Least Favorite Teacher:
Umbridge!

Favorite Non-Human Hogwarts Resident:
The giant squid!

Favorite Hogsmeade Location:
That awesome aforementioned lollyshop, or possibly the Three Broomsticks. In Winter.

Favorite Triwizard Champion:
Uh.. uhh.. uhhhh! Cedric! Or Krum! They were both so SO cute. Sigh.

Favorite Triwizard Task:
The one in the lake. I just love that lake so much!

Which Character You’d Ask to the Yule Ball:
Neville! Did you see the way he got all excited? Totally worth it!

Which Character You’d Like to Use a Love Potion On:
Fleur. For bragging rights. Seriously, I don't know why they don't try that more often.

Which Character You’d Like to Use Veritaserum On:
Probably Dumbledore. There's so much I didn't understand in Deathly Hallows. And I want him to explain it better!

How Long You Have Been a HP Fan:
Shucks. Gee. I borrowed the first book from Ineke. So it was before she left. But before the movies came out. So I guess it'd have to be about 2000? Or 1999? I suppose it might've even been primary school? I just don't know.

Favorite Wizard Rock Band:
That one that was actually made up of like, Radiohead and... some other punk band or something. In the Goblet of Fire. Yep! Trivia!

Number of Midnight Releases You Have Attended:
None! I'm also awesome!

Favorite HP Website:
I don't go to the internet for rumours, unfortunately for this question!

Most Ridiculous Potter Theory You’ve Heard:
Please see above!

Character You’re Most Like:
Maybe Ron? I also get emo occasionally, and I know what it's like to have to live up to a lotta crap!

House You Think You’d Be Sorted Into:
Probably Hufflepuff, 'cause I'm pretty average at everything.

Your Patronus Would Be A:
Probably a piece-o'-fluff kitten, that would be useless against Dementors. Or a panther!

To You, Amortentia Would Smell Like:
I can't even remember what that is! But uh... something good!

You’d Use Felix Felicis To:
Nothing specific, I don't think. Just to have some kind of perfect day.

The Job You Would Most Like to Try:
Dragon-wrangler.

Which You Would Rather See — a Sequel or a Prequel:
Ummm.. Probably a Prequel. Just 'cause we KNOW Voldemort's been around before. Whereas if it was a sequel they'd have to think up a new enemy, or try and bring Voldemort back somehow. Which is so freakin' lame. Anyway, apparently she's working on a crime fiction novel now.

The Movies in Order from Favorite to Least Favorite:

Goblet of Fire
Order of the Phoenix
Prisoner of Azkaban
Chamber of Secrets
Philosopher's Stone

EITHER/OR…

Animagus or Metamorphmagus: Metamorphagus
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans or Chocolate Frogs: Chocolate frogs. The beans just scare me. 'Cause surely, when considering *every* flavour in the world, there are more things that aren't food than are. So already the majority wouldn't taste good. And then there are the FOODS you don't like. It's just simple mathematics.
Black or Lupin: Black.
CAPSLOCK HARRY or Emo!Harry: CAPSLOCK HARRY!
Death Eaters or Dumbledore’s Army: Why don't you just ask "good" or "evil"? Probably the Death Eaters anyway. 'Cause the DA is really just a bunch of punk kids.
Draco or Lucius: Lucius. I love that man.
Durmstrang or Beaubaxtons: Don't make me choose! The girls were prats, but hot. The guys were hot but apparently evil? Or something? Anyway, Durmstrang.
Floo Powder or Broom: Floo Powder
Fred or George: I'd take 'em both at the same time, quite frankly.
Grimmauld Place or The Burrow: Grimmauld Place
Herbology or Care of Magical Creatures: Herbology sounds pretty dull. Care of Magical Creatures.
Hippogriffs or Thestrals: Well, considering I've never seen someone die, I guess it'd be Thestrals, 'cause I wouldn't know what the others looked like! Did you like how they *didn't* address the fact that half the party were flying across England on things they couldn't see, in the movie?
Invisibility cloak or Pensieve: They're too completely different things! I guess... pensieve?
Mermish or Parselmouth: Mermish. So I could be all "OH GOD DON'T KILL ME! WHERE THE CRAP IS ARIEL?!"
Occlumency or Legilimency: Uh, probably both? I think it'd be more helpful if you had both anyway.
Peeves or Nearly Headless Nick: Peeves is a giant jerk. Nearly Headless Nick has been helpful and junk on many an occasion.
Peter Pettigrew or Mundungus Fletcher: Mundungus Fletcher. At least he's a good guy. Even if he is a jerk.
Professor Binns or Professor Umbridge: Professor Binns I guess! By default.
S.P.E.W. or the Inquisitorial Squad: Uh. I'll, uh. I'll get back to you.
The Ministry of Magic or Gringotts: Gringotts for the win. That place was pretty freakin' mad. I hear there's a dragon in there.
Three Broomsticks or The Leaky Cauldron: Three Broomsticks.
Werewolf or Inferus: Inferius probably. I assume you mean "Which would you rather face?" I guess the walking corpses, 'cause they'd be pretty slow!
Whomping Willow or Flying Ford Anglia: Whomping Willow I guess? I... don't quite know what you're asking!
Yule Ball or Quidditch Championship: Yule Ball, probly. Sports events bore me. Even magical ones.


Okay! I'm sorry! I had to do it, Sarah was going to kill me. That took ages, and a lot of the questions were kind of dumb. But... yeah! It's done. Real update soon... er or later.

In other news, I have blue fingernails.

Oh man, you know what'd be great? If someone other than me blogged! I keep mentioning it, I keep hold of my hopes. But srsly, Dogblog has updated more recently than some of you. And that guy was on hiatus for like six months. I'll also have you know, some of you, who I shan't namerise, and therefore leave you all in fear of my vague and ineffective wrath, that I've recently deleted some of you from my bookmarks! You just suck THAT MUCH.

So! In the space of last entry and this one, I've got a new job, and applied for about a million more. I'm a childcare worker! At a daycare centre! Terrifying, no? Check your children carefully when they come home. Baby-blood is the freshest.

But yeah, it's pretty great. I worked my longest shift ever today, and reflected halfway through that it didn't feel like numerous hours had passed, and it *really* didn't feel like work. I guess that's 'cause it's not really. I'm not entering data, or programming uh.. robots. Or working with thousands of dollars. What I AM working with though, is our FUTURE. I'm led to believe. Though frankly I hope they get a little more education before that comes around. Seriously, they can't even put jackets on.

But yeah, it's pretty great! The pay is a lot better than I was getting as a nanny, though that's mostly my fault, and due to my lack of experience, and I basically spent my first hour today patting toddler's backs to lull them into sleep. I dunno if the hot jazz was meant to help though, but that's not my decision. Still it's a far cry from cleaning week-old urine off bathroom floors and fixing cracks in walls.

Anyway, they aren't giving me enough hours. Hence the applying for another million jobs. I'm moving to Perth, y'see! Finally, the dream becomes a reality. Assuming I can get some cash. Which I totally can. So it's a reality, see.

Man. I was kind of hoping this other nanny woman was gonna call in the morning. 'Cause she didn't call tonight like she was meant to y'see. But it's like 2am now, and I don't know if I want her to! Dumb bitch. Why didn't she just call tonight like she was meant to!

Also, job-hunting is hard. TOO HARD.

Gee Jess, do you wanna talk about work a little more, maybe? I dunno!

I'm just stressing out about it a lot lately! Sorry! This is therapy as well as entertainment dammit.

Coupled with the fact that basically all attempts at sociability lately have been foiled like so many leftovers, you can pretty much read 'stressing out' as 'freaking the fuck out' and I really need to get out somewhere where I can make 8 sex jokes a minute, and swear like a sailor with Tourettes while I'm doing it. So y'know, not home and not work. I'm looking at you, Sydney-ites.

Though y'know, if anyone who ISN'T in Sydney wants to make their way here and hang out with me, I'd be up for that too. Please God, just someone save me.

In other news, I have blue fingernails.

Don't worry, they were painted that way. It's not frostbite or something. It hasn't been THAT cold. Oh-ho! Oh, shut up.

Turns out blue fingernails don't taste so good! Kind of like nailpolish.

It's minute-by-minute updates in Jesstown!

I should call my blog "Jesstown". That'd really make those constant references to Jesstown a lot clearer.

Okay, when I start posting a series of one-liners, I think we both know it's time to quit while I'm ahead. I dunno, maybe I'll do a better post later. Or maybe I won't. We live on the edge, here in Jesstown. And you better keep up, lest we throw you over. Which will be a lot harder to do, seeing we'll have to slow down to get you, and also, that phrase never made any mention of speed, so maybe I'm reading too much into it. But yeah. Edges! You better watch yourself.

Done any meth lately?
