I just saw a comment from ultranos that said that Stargate is the Hotel California of fandoms, because people move on but they never leave. I can personally attest to that.

Also, I think that once I'm in a fandom, I'm a tenacious little fangirl. Oh, I have my flings, but when a fandom gets me, it gets me HARD, and then I write fics. LOTS of fics. *g* I suppose I might be ready for another True Fandom in about two years or so.

In other news, I am on Pottermore! Let me know if you want my user name, and I'm TOTALLY a Ravenclaw, which I was hoping for with crossed fingers like whoa. :-) :-) :-)

Exciting Thing Number One:

Yesterday I managed to haul myself across three whole monkey bars!

My ultimate fitness dream goal (the one I'll likely never reach, considering as how I'm a lazybones) is to be able to do all the things I used to do when I was 9 years old. I was a strong little kid, although I couldn't run even then.

Exciting Thing Number Two:
I got to hang out with my awesome friend KR all day Saturday and we went and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince again. I liked it even better this time, and noticed a TON of characters in the background who weren't exactly *in* this movie, but have been in others and were awesome. Always fun to see the little ones growing up! (Although it's probably wrong that I find some of these kids to be...hot. Right?)

After we came back from the movie, we watched Prisoner of Azkaban, and laughed because we remembered thinking back then that the actors were SO OLD OMG. Ha ha ha. Oh, perspective.

In other news, the Weather Icon is brought back into service. We are in the middle of a terrible heatwave. I mean, for here. Highs in the upper 80's, 90's, and today, tomorrow, and Wednesday we're supposed to get really really close to 100. I'm guessing we'll hit it, consider that I was SWEATING this morning at 6am. I took a cold shower and still could barely get dressed. Ew.

Last night I had to do laundry or risk going to work naked, and I felt REALLY bad for using the dryer, because it's in my roommate's room. Thankfully she wasn't there...and there really wasn't a LOT of heat put out by it--just into the clothes like it's supposed to. Still. Folding warm clothes in hot weather? Not my favorite.

Naked is looking better all the time.
