Well, Team Tonks ended up coming second. :( AWW. WE WAS ROBBED, I TELL YOU!! LOL XDDDD To quote joannabanana23, "First is worst, second is best" LOLOL XDDDD

I have to admit I'm a little saddened. We lead all term, to lose at Hogsmeade because only four of our team participated. And that's what sucks! I KNOW that if just a couple more people had entered, we would have pwned - because we had such AWESOME people in our team!! :D

And I can't help but think it's probably my fault for not... I dunno... encouraging? Getting people involved? Whatever. OH WELL. It's all done now. Back to Hufflepuff :D I did enjoy the Team Leader thang, but it was SUPER HARD WORK, ZOMG. LOL XDDDD

ANYWAY. I did actually manage to place in things!! Woo!! :D Most of it is the stuff I've already posted...

TEAM BELLATRIX CONTEST #01 [DEATH EATER RADIO]:
01. First Place: HAHAHA. Aww, man, I feel sorry for the other two people who entered because I thought mine was SO LAME. LOL XDDDD I had NO IDEA wtf to write, so I just started and couldn't get out of the bumbling duo that was Bellatrix and Rodolphus XDDDD I swear I was going to actually have some of a srs show in there... but it just never happened, LOLOL.

TEAM BELLATRIX CONTEST #02 [ICON]:
01. First Place: DUDE!! I'm so happy with that! I never place in icons at Hogsmeade!! LOL XDDDD I DID like my icon though... I spent a lot of time trying to find the right crown. The one I ended up choosing was a Celtic on with what looked like two Rs back to back, and it was bronze, so I changed the colouring of it and VOILA! :D

TEAM LUCIUS CONTEST #02 [FAN ART]:
02. Second Place: Aww, yay!! Thank you!! Hillary's was awesome AND funny, so I had no chance of actually winning that one. LOLOL. DDR. HILRIOUS. :D

TEAM ALECTO CONTEST #01 [HP SECRETS]:
02. Second Place: Awwwwwww!! YAY!! My srs Draco piece placed!! :D LOL. I spend a while on that one actually, because my printer doesn't work ^^; So I spend AGES trying to make it look scanned, LOL XDDDD

All those are in this post.

New interview with Tom Felton. You know how you can buy his songs on iTunes? Bet he's making some money y/y? Well sure! BUT HE'S GIVING IT TO CHARITY. :|||||||| SRSLY. *FLAILS*

Right. And you did say that the reason you put your music on iTunes was to—to save up for a more professional recording? Is that what you said earlier?
No, no, no! I was talking about making it a charitable donation, really. I’d like to give back to where I came from, if that makes sense?

Okay. Yeah. It was impossible to hear!
Nothing’s set in stone yet, so I don’t want to advertise it too much or anything, but actually a charity in America. Colorado. In Boulder. A couple of people—I went out there last year and they helped me a lot musically, and they own a charity, and I’d be happy to help them along their way.

What kind of charity is it?
It’s called There with Care, and it’s a foundation that helps terminally ill children and their families. And the lady who owns it was the executive producer on the first three Harry Potter films, and she gave up her life as sort of a high executive to start her own charity up, and she’s been tremendously happy since, and it’s a really genuine cause.

*DIES* OMFGGGGGGGGGGG. TOMMMMMMMMMM. You. Me. Babies. Now. Srsly. <3333333333 LOLOL XDDDD He talked a lot about Draco and fandom in the interview, which was AWESOME :D I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE. SRSLY. DAMN WB!! YOU MOVE IT BACK BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY GOT THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR WITH BATMAN, AND YOU GET OUTDONE BY BOND!! FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

15 entries in Hogsmeade done btw!! And who was the SADISTIC BASTARD who decided the Sorting Hat Song should be over 500 words?!!?! SRSLY. The one in OotP was only 478!! D: LOLOL XDDDD OH WELL. IT'S DONE. MOVING ON NOW... XDDDD

Peace,
Rotae

OFF TO HOGSMEADE. BRB.
SO CHA. It starts tomorrow @ 1pm Australian Eastern Standard time, so I mightn't be around this weekend. If I am online, I should be on AIM (Rotae Lupin) or you can reach me on e-mail (rotae_lupin@hotmail.com) :D



LOLOL. Just a little animation I did of me flail!running. This is what I look like when a HP trailer or the like comes out, LOLOL XDDDDD Why yes, I am a silly person XDDDD

Not bad for my first 2D animation y/y? :D LOL. I made this animation today :3 I has a matching header too, LOLOL. AND ICON (which I shall use in flailworthy places). I doubt the header will stay, but I thought it'd be good to have up while Hogsmeade is going on :D

EEEEEE I'M SO PSYCHED. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED!!

GO TEAM TONKS. LET'S KICK SOME ARSE!!

BTW. Going to see Australia on Sunday morning with Racheal @ Gold Class!!! EEEEEEEE RECLINERS FTWWWWWWW. BAZ LURHMANN FTW. NICOLE KIDMAN FTW. HUGE JACKMAN FTW. CATHERINE MARTIN FTW. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I'm SO PSYCHED.

And memes ftw!! <3 LOLLOL. I'm INTENSELY shaded MWAHAHAHA. XDDDD

Just a forewarning, this post is going to be going tv/politics to Avatar/Hook to art to tv/politics to politics to politics/avatars to Britishness... LOL XDDD

I love Toby Zeigler. Just sayin', LOL. I've only ever seen some random episodes of season 6 and 7 of The West Wing, so I'm totally squeeing over seeing all this new stuff :D I SO DIDN'T KNOW THAT MAKO WAS IN AN EPISODE!! LOLOL. This Japanese guy starts talking and I'm all, "ZOMG SEND IN RUF-FI-OOOOOOOOOO!!" LOLOLOL XDDDD

OKAY. ONTO ART!! :D I was kinda, uhm, overwhelmed by the response to my last post ^^; LOL. It remind me of my Mum, she LOOOOVES my portraits, but doesn't particularly think my cartoons are anything special.

It's interesting. For me, portraits are really kinda boring ^^; LOL. I mean, it's just spatial awareness, basically. You're just copying something that you're looking at. I mean, I realise it takes some skill, but once you get your spatial awareness down, and your fear of shading goes, it's just... not very interesting? LOLOL XDDDD

I find the art by buttfacemakani and cambryn and reallycorking and glockgal etc, SO AMAZING, because they have their own STYLE. And it's THEIRS. And they OWN it. UGH. Those guys just make me SO JEALOUS, LOL, because they're just so CONFIDENT with it, and CAREFREE and able to just... SCRIBBLE and make amazing pieces of art!

Whereas for me, it's because of my portraits that I'm so... constrained! That I'm never confident in just being free with it. Ugh. I dunno. Maybe I should just do portraits and be done with it, LOLOL. XDDD ANYWAY. RANDOM THOUGHTS OVER. Time for some CRACK!ARRRRRRRRRRRT!!

Meet my hogwarts_elite contest entry (that won me 1st place! WOOO!! GO TEAM TONKS!!), in which we had to cross HP with a fairytale... CINDERHARRY!

I know. You're all absolutely TERRIFIED of Dudley and Vernon. It's okay. I know. My mind is a scary, scary place XDDDDD HAHAHAHA. LOL. I so need to rent out Cinderella 3. ANYWAY. Yeah. I think it's pretty self-explanatory XDDDDD I'm insane! There you go XD

"People need hope, but they trust fear." - Heroes.

Damnit, how appropriate is that in politics? LOL. I'm so proud that my country didn't bend to Howard's scare tactics in the last election.

Btw, it might be just me... but I wouldn't want my leader (or indeed second in command) to be a Joe Blow average kinda person.

I want my leader to be, quite honestly, FUCKING STUPENDOUS.

( Click for not so much a political rant as an 'I don't want to rant, rant', LOL )

AND NOW. Onto Obama icons, LOLOLOLOL XDDD I made these yesterday along with the one in this post *points* :D RAWWWWWRRRR!! Obama's security detail? Dinosaurs courtesy of Team Tonks, LOLOL XD Yes, it IS an actual photo, I didn't add the Tyrannosaurus-Rex into it XD All pictures are from the community, obama_daily!



I love that woman with the Obama symbol, LOL XDDD She's SOOOO CUTE <3 And dude, how hot is Obamabananarama?! I mean... smart, funny, politically centre/left? That's hot enough without him ACTUALLY being that hot too XDDDDD

Believe it or not, this post WAS going to be "I totally love Toby Zeigler" and leave it at that... ^^; LOL. DAMN YOU, WEST WING. You put IDEAS into my head!! LOLOL XDDDD

Okay. So, I'm currently watching a political drama and eating Jam Fancies while drinking English Breakfast tea from a charity mug designed by Ewan McGregor. I'm so British right now... LOLOL XDDD

Peace,
Rotae

So, I needed a new address book, and while walking around SUPER EXCITING Hobart (no, srsly, someone got stabbed to death in Target today, :| no, seriously 0.o) with comedychick, her husband and son, I found an AWESOME ONE. It looks like this:


IZ SO BRILL, Y/Y?! :D

SO. I want to fill it with your info so I can look like I know lots of people XDDDD Fill it out if you'd like! It's totally private, so only I can see it :D

Here's a good way to test if you're right or left brained btw :D

Yes, all the questions are relevant, LOLOL.

[Poll #1268983]

SO, as you may have been able to tell from my really subtle mention above there, I has a comedychick!! YAYYYYY!! :D They haven't frozen from the cold yet, either! YAY! :D LOL. Doyle is so cute omfg, srsly. We played peek-a-boo today and he became obsessed with my zipper bracelet (just like 6kittykat6!! LOLOL, BTW KATE, THEY'RE BACK AT DIVA!! You want me to get you one?) and the completely satisfying noise it makes when I jingle it about XDDD And Dom and Jeremy are delightful! Like you're all so shocked, LOLOL :D

I've been watching The West Wing again recently. Sigh. I heart it so much. The only problem is that it's not REAL, DAMNIT! LOLOL XDDD BUT. The upcoming US election is looking scarily like season 6 of TWW 0.o *cue spooky music* So I'm happy XD DAMN YOU, ALAN ALDA!! XDDDDD

Btw, Team Tonks? PWNING in the voting OH YEAH. DINOSAURS AND TONKS: DEAD, BUT STILL FUCKING AWESOME :D XDDDDD *high fives team* WOOOOO!!! *tackles*

Peace,
Rotae

SOOOO, first of all, I have to say HI to all the wonderful people on Team Tonks who I friended recently! HAI!! :D *huggles*

Second on the agenda is the initial stages of a background for my HP-Art-Project thingy:


Clickie for bigger piccie! :D
Eeee!! ALMOST DONE!! :D SO. I just have fix the light and go over it with a fine toothed comb and get all the little things I've been putting off, LOL XD BUT! ALMOST DONE!!

Third, I have to apologise for not replying to stuff in my last entry because I'm lame and haven't gotten to it yet ^^;

Fourth, YES, I've seen the new HBP pictures!!! ZOMGGGGGGGGG. TOM. TYRA WOULD BE SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR EMOTION IN THIS PICTURE OH YES.

( Click for picture! )

I- just- I... GAH. HOW CAN YOU TELL A STORY WITH JUST YOUR EYES LIKE THAT?! SRSLY. I WANNA KNOW. LOLOL XDDD ;alkdsj;aldjsf;laksdf;lakjds;la :D ALSO. I never thought we'd get to see him out of that bloody turtleneck, so YAY NECK :3 AND VEST ZOMG :D

OH. And I also totally love that Tom has grey eyes in this picture btw. And that he has grey eyes in general. They have the ability to look blue or green or grey depending on what the person is wearing/colours around them. I mean, not only does he have eyes like canon!Draco, but they're just so AWESOME :D And really special for people like me who have boring blue XDDD

And, speaking of Tom, that leads me to fifth and final! It's just gone midnight here in the AEST so I can confidently say Happy Birthday to two wonderful people, cambryn and Tom Felton!! Yay!! Dawwww, they're all grown up :3 :D Hee. Tom is 21, Hill is 23, two AWESOME numbers :D 21 = my age, 23 = the best number EVAH. So happy birthday from the Australian Eastern time zone!! *flings streamers* LOLOL :D

I WAS going to do a portrait of Tom for his birthday, because a) I've draw a Tom as Draco portrait for GoF and OotP, so it seems natural that I should do one for HBP, and b) I felt like it. But unfortunately I went to do it today and couldn't find ANY of my pencils!! D: I dunno wtf I've done with them, LOL. So it'll have to wait. :(

Okay, so I lied, there's a sixth. I could totally live on toast. Just saying.

Peace,
Rotae

I would just like to convey how crushed I am due to my own house's refusal to believe my eye witness testimony. The only people who believe me are the Gryffindors. My own house thinks I'm under the Imperius Curse, or worse, actually a Death Eater.

I was so absent from the Hogsmeade trip because I've been undertaking my internship with the Aurors all this week. That is why I was there, and I helped out in the fight.

When I saw opaleyes unmasked after she was captured, I realised that she was one of the Death Eaters I had been duelling. I cannot convey how devastated I was by this.

As she was lead away, Nikki was screaming that she was innocent, and justice would out. But I can't deny what I saw in her eyes. She was working with them. She was trying to take down Aurors. She tried to take me down.

My own Head Girl. My fellow leader. My friend.

She was heading for the Floo network. I can only assume that it was to either escape, or to get to Hogwarts.

I then spent the rest of the day helping with the ensuing chaos, and this is why I couldn't come forward earlier. I come home to find my house cold, and untrusting of me.

I fear for my school.

If you don't believe me, then fine, the truth will out. But stay strong, Hogwarts. These are fearful times, and people who are afraid do stupid things. I hope you will choose the light.

Constant vigilance.

Peace,
Rotae
