Happy birthday, J.K. Rowling! Which of her seven Harry Potter novels do you think is the most satisfying read?


View 509 Answers

Rawr. I can't believe that the Writer's Block remembered JK's bday but forgot that it was Harry Potter's bday. I mean, Harry's bday is damn crucial to every HP book like how Halloween is.

Anyway, I liked Chamber of Secrets best. There's a suspence, mystery and tension for me to keep on flipping the pages. Then there's also more on Voldemort, his connection to Harry. Oh, and the first Hocrux being destroyed too.

I also liked the involvement of  'Heir of Slytherin' thing which gave a even sinister feeling to the book. Harry had to face the rumours being spread about him while finding out who is the culprit, which is quite a lot for him. Lets not forget Ginny who was totally manipulated by Tom Riddle...

Also watched the sixth movie already. Personally I think it's good. As compared to the fifth movie, this was wonderful. The romance parts were win and the part when Hermione was whacking Harry's head when she was like: You're the Chosen One, aren't you? made me LOL so much. Harry just had to reply: Uh, yeah. The main highlight was Malfoy, who was looking so emo throughout because he was coerced to be a Death Eater.

But I didn't like the part on Dumbledore's death. It was done too weirdly, and I only cried because Malfoy was looking so pained as he couldn't bring himself to kill Dumbledore...

Hopefully, the DH movie won't be a flop, but I doubt it. The book already had a crack plot, and I'm not very positive for the movie. Shall wait and see though.

No HP icon, so I'm using Roderich aka Austria. After all, he has dark-coloured hair, and wears glasses. He does look Harry Potter-ish when I look at the icon now though...

What fictional character do you most identify with?


View 505 Answers

That's easy to answer. *points to userpic*

Definitely Fujioka Haruhi from Ouran High Host Club. Like her, I'm tomboyish, mistaken for a boy if I don't state my gender, had hair cut once due to chewing gum in hair, have wonderful friends who can be idiotic in a good way, gives blank looks often and wears glasses.

Speaking of this, Ouran High Host CLub chapter 71 is win.There's a TamaHaru moment with a sleeping Tamaki (with an upset Hikaru watching them which even a TamaHaru fan like me can sympathise with) and Mori and Honey are going to graduate. That's all I'm saying because there are major spoilers.

on rl, the school holidays might be extended due to the H1N1. Quite sad since I'm bored of the holidays already and e-learning means even more homework. D<

Do you believe in fate? Why or why not?

Submitted By [info]and2c_hersmile

Haven't done any Writer's Block in a long time, so yeah.

Anyway I don't believe in fate. Because it's damn obvious that we do have to put in effort to get what we want / need. If fate was true, then we don't need to even go to school or do anything at all as everything will just happen on its own.

However I believe in fate to a certain extent. Like we're all meant to die someday, some people are unluckier than others and get diseases they don't even ask for (but that's more of genetics).

The userpic that I used here of Dark and Daisuke has a reason too. It's fate that the Niwa ancestor had to interrupt the Hikari's ritual of creating the Black Wings which caused the life force to split into two, creating Dark and Krad in the process. Without any other choice, they had to latch themselves on the only vessels available, which is the sinned artist and the kaitou. And it's also fate that Hikari and Niwa had to cursed by Hikari's artwork...

Speaking of that, DNAngel is still on hiatus. Grr.

On RL, exams are over, I'm currently packing for OBS next week and watching a lot of Vocaloid videos. I especially love Kaito as he has such a sexy voice and it's quite hard to believe that they are computer programs. The 'Kokoto Kiseki' video even made me cry...

Have a good weekend! :D

It's Tax Day in the U.S., a day when the mind might be too occupied with deductions and long lines at the post office to think about poetry. But let's try: what's your favorite line of poetry? Song lyrics count.


View 500 Answers

Since song lyrics count, I'm going to use a song from the most epic musical ever.

Song: Phantom of the Opera
Musical: Phantom of the Opera
Composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber
Original author: Gaston Leroux
Singers: Christine: Sarah Brightman
               Phantom aka Erik: Michael Crawford
(the movie version sucked. the muscial was so much better)

Christine: Those who have seen your face draw back in fear...I am the mask you wear...
Phantom: It's me they hear...

all songs are so awesome but i like this best due to it being also kind of related to D.Gray-man.

Digression to D.Gray-man, but it's damn suitable to cast Allen as Christine and the 14th as Phantom. Even if Christine's a girl. Since the BO does fear the 14th, and he's hiding in Allen so as to finish his mission of pwning the Millenium Earl.

has also read DGM 185 spoilers. all i can say is asdfgasdhdsgfakfh. :X

What is your personal motto or favorite quotation?

'if life gives you lemons, throw them back and demand chocolate.'

life is never going to give you the best. so in order to get the best, one has to be assertive to get it. 

cos life basically sucks.

there's Chinese, English, A Maths, E Maths, Biology to finish D:

angst to the power of four
