My favourite thing anyone has said in the last few days: "I'm in Ur Mesopotamia... and that's it."
Other things of note:
-I am in a miserable mood and thus am finding it hilarious to think up things that are younger than John McCain. So far we have come up with AIDS, Sputnik, Communist China, the Grand Canyon, nuclear power, legal sodomy, Chuck Norris and Wicca.[1] John McCain is also only three times younger than Mormonism and a couple of years younger than Nazi Germany.
(No, I don't know why this is so ridiculously funny. It just is. I am crazy. Hurrah.)
-a rec, which I am passing along from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musesfool as one of the few things that has made me happy over the last few days: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes: the Spring 2006 Edition, by xylodemon, with its remix, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes: the Ministry Disapproved Edition (the Liability Remix), by sullensiren. Complete with sparkly text and penis jokes. I love them both.

shoebox_project has updated, to much joy from all. I haven't read it yet; I'm tempted to wait until after Finals and read the entire thing again, because... yes. Certain parts of it have the same effect on me as "a million a thousand three four" does - at any rate, there was certainly a window in my life where I could be reduced to hysterical choking laughter by "funnification is not a word Moony oh how the mighty have fallen", entirely sans context. (And, for no particular reason, "Maturity is our middle name. Our collective middle name. Sirius and Remus Maturity Black-Lupin.")
(My favourite part, though, is the one in the icon. Just saying.)
-Another rec, while I remember. Like Any Other Night, byrose71. This one's a delight, done for lgbtfest and unjustly overlooked, I think.
(Why am I reading so much HP fic? It's the start of the summer. It's what you do. You lie on the grass and procrastinate rather than revise for yourGCSEs A-levels Prelims (it's good to know I have matured with the passage of time) Those Things We Do Not Speak Of and construct Marauder-era epics in your head, complete with fictional examiners' reports for Hogwarts NEWTs.)
-There have been a spate of people asking lately, so, apropos of nothing, yes, someone writing fanfiction under the name "Raven" is usually me, and definitely is me on the Teaspoon and on FA.
-All the people whom I have offered giant comedy pina coladas to recently[2] - this holds. Giant comedy pina coladas all round. It's that sort of a week.
Back to work, yes. Dear second-years - do not do as we have done. Read now, while you still can.
[1] one of these things is a lie.
[2] Let us pretend I can use grammar, shall we? Or indeed know anything at all about anything?
