OKAY. So my team over at hogwarts_elite has been announced and... DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN... I'm the leader of TEAM TONKS!! WOOOOO!! You guys are all super surprised. I can totally tell. LOLOL. SO. As a bit of fun tonight (while watching Midsomer Murders and Ugly Betty - LOL, different much? XDDD), I drew the following, very quickly (click for bigger pic):


YAYYYYY!! I thought that the announcement warranted a bad-arse Tonks picture! And this is what I came up with (very quickly, LOL). It's okay. Still not happy with her head, but eh, what can you do?

ALSO. I made the icon up there and this signature:

Members of my team are very welcome to take the icon and signature if they'd like to use them :D

AHHH!! Wearing those shoes is gonna be that much more awesome, because I know what they'll mean, LOLOL XDDDD Although, admittedly, Tonks would never be able to actually wear them, because hello, falling over much? (I reckon she just falls over because she's distracted by Remus, BUT WHATEVS XDDDD)

SO CHA. OH. And I made this too:

I feel that it adequately sums up my feelings XDDDD

EDIT: OH. AND. LOL. I TOTALLY WANT THIS T-SHIRT WITH EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING :3


RIGHT. Bed now. Parents are back tomorrow!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! :D

Peace,
Rotae

I have been so scatterbrained recently. It's really weird. If I've forgotten to reply to you about something, PLEASE tell me, because for the life of me I have no idea what I have and haven't replied to. Sorry. LOL. It's really not you, it's definitely me. XDDD

My body clock is so screwed atm. I slept from 5:30am until 7am this morning (watched vikingcarrot on Toast TV, LOL,

Interviewer: Why Slytherin?
Sarah: Because they're better than everyone else.

LMFAO XDDD AWESOME), went to class and then slept from 1pm until 5pm. Srsly. Wtf. LOL

LOL. I bought some "Heaven Real Hot Chocolate" the other day. Got it home. Opened it. REAL CHOCOLATE DROPS. NO POWDER. LMFAO. SRSLY. How awesome is that?!

We had an exerpts test on Wednesday for Gospel Choir. Damn I get excited when I'm nervous. LOL. There were these four other girls and Josh and I who sang together and I don't know what the hell they must have thought I was on. LMFAO. I just get REALLY hyper. You can't comprehend the extent of my hyperness until you see me just before I'm about to perform something. Sorry you had to go through that, Josh. LOL.

It's like I'm on crack, that's been dosed with sugar, red cordial and then encased in more crack. Srsly. LOL.

I stayed w/ Josh and another girl for extra credit (on a WHIM because I just LIKE the song that they were going to sing for it). So, w/ no rehearsal or preparation I proceeded to make a pranit of myself (well, I thought so anyway, LOL). Andrew (the conductor/pianist/choir master) said that all three of us should try out for the 45's next semester 0.o I think he was being polite and REALLY only wanted Josh and the other girl, but pfft. LOL. I couldn't do the 45's anyway, b/c I'm already overloading next semester as it is. SO YEAH... enough Gospel Choir babble.

Hm. Now I don't have anything to say. LOL.

I signed up for both the art AND writing thing over at metamorfic_moon (Remus/Tonks, WOO!!). OOOH. I'm making Hufflepuff gloves like the ones Tonks' was wearing in my last art. :D YAY! One down, one to go.

And OMG. ROBOT CHICKEN IS DOING A SPECIAL EPISODE W/ GEORGE LUCAS AND MARK HAMILL AND DOING A COMPLETE STAR WARS SHOW!!!! See icon for awesome taste. :D Here's the link to the trailer. I AM SO EFFING PSYCHED. XDDDD I LOVE how they made the Adult Swim logo do the LucasFilm thingy at the beginning.

Yep. That's about it. Cept to say that I'm currently watching Queer As Folk, Season 2. OMGYESAWESOME. :D Ritchie has the same kinda build as Brian Kinney. 0.o Hotttt...

Off to do lumos_lims entry... LOL, thanks for reminding me, Mike *headdesks* :D

EDIT: DUCK, DRACO!

But WTF... WHY IS HIS FACE LEFT BEHIND?!!!?! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF... SRSLY. WTF. :| 0.o
Peace,
Rotae

Wow... so I am sooooo freaking tired it's not funny (LOL, I just wrote "fired" instead of tired b/c my finger was feeling too tired to reach the letter 't' HAHA). :D

And just before I collapse go to bed, here's a picture of Ritchie from Five. And no, it aint getting lj-cutted because he is just TOO. FREAKING. HOT. I seriously haven't been able to stop staring at him for the past 24 hours... *drools into gumboots* What I wouldn't do to that man... hehehe... CHECK OUT THE NEW RITCHIE ICON, BTW, LOL. :D YAY APPLE PORN.

Oh, and one final thing, LOL, anyone else having trouble accessing deviantART atm?

From jkrowling.com:

Section: F.A.Q.
What houses were Tonks and Myrtle in?

Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw respectively.

HELLZ YES. I FUCKING KNEW MUTHA FUCKA!!!! TONKS IS OFFICIALLY A PUFF!!!!!!! *is ded from squee* AHHHHHHHHHHHH *runs screaming down the street*

What is Draco Malfoy’s Patronus?
As of the end of Half-Blood Prince, he has no idea how to produce one, so nobody knows. You must remember that the ability to produce a Patronus demonstrates an advanced level of magic not routinely taught to young Hogwarts students (hence the surprise of the prospective members of Dumbledore’s Army when they find out that Harry can make a Patronus).

What are the properties of Draco’s wand? Can we assume that its wood is hawthorn, as per the chart on your site?
Interestingly (to me) I decided that Draco had a hawthorn wand independently of the chart. So yes, it is hawthorn, and by a bizarre coincidence I assigned him that wood, as I assigned Harry holly, without realising it was the ‘right’ one. Spooky... but for various reasons hawthorn seems to suit Draco as holly suits Harry.

I am so excited I really can't type properly. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[EDIT: Just a couple of things I found on Hawthorn (also my wand, going by my birthday, YAY!)

Hawthorn, or May, was a symbol of psychic protection (Occlumency) due to its sharp thorns (LOL, uh huh). Faery spirits were thought to live in Hawthorn hedges, which were planted as protective shields around fields, houses and churchyards. Hawthorn people are mercurial, innovative, creative and confident (Draco, yes? :D). Easily bored (haha, totally), they crave mental stimulation and challenge. They are eloquent and gifted performers, exuding natural charm (wordy mcword pants :D).

The Druic Animal - The Owl symbolizes wisdom and patience - Hawthorns must develop patience or hasty action can sabotage their best efforts. (OMG LOL. YES. Draco through books 1-5 and then he develops patience in HBP)

Source 2 [AMBER, YOU READING?! LOL XDDDD :D]: Hawthorn is traditionally used to make psychic shields, particularly for the innocent and vulnerable. It can be given to help protect a child from any harsh energies in the environment, and particularly at puberty when a child is particularly sensitive and vulnerable, and in need of psychic protection. This aspect is also reflected in its use as a hedging plant, not only for its thick impenetrable growth, but also as a psychic shield.

HAHAHA. LOL. AWESOME. XDDDDD

Hawthorn protects against lightning, and in the house in which it resides, no evil ghosts may enter. It is also powerful for protecting against damage to the house from storms. - anyone else see the whole "lightning struck tower" thing here? LOL.

And finally ZOMG FUNNEH AS ALL HELL:
POWERS: Fertility, Chastity, Fishing Magic Happiness
Fishermen should carry some hawthorn and call on the Gods Manannan and Lír if fishing at sea, or Nechtan if fishing inland. - BWAHAHAHA GO TOM XDDDD]

[EDIT 2: This might also give even more relevance as to why Draco is so objectional to Hufflepuff!! :O He sees what his parents say about his cousin!! IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE!!

"Well, no one really knows until they get there, do they, but I know I'll be in Slytherin, all our family have been -- imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?"

Ohhhohhohohoho, Draco. Not quite ALL your family... XDDDD]

ZOMG YAY THIS MAKES UP FOR CRAPTASTIC YATES AND HIS STUPID "FUN" MOVIE XDDDDDDD

AHILWUrhlawikurfhdbzlik uehw lifduihKN!~!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

AND LOOK I HAVE A PRETTY BACKGROUND AND I WORKED IT OUT ALL MYSELF. *is so freaking proud*

Peace,
