Even though they're the bad guys, Death Eaters tend to have a lot of fans. I'm not really partial to them or Voldemort's side, but I do kind of like some of them. I like Bellatrix Lestrange because she's got such a prominent...

olisaur Yes, I love Helena Bonham Carter, too; I think she's so perfect for the role, she can pull off evil very well, lol. I don't think I'd like Bellatrix at all if it wasn't for her portrayal in the movies. :)

I was a huge anime fan throughout my pre-teenhood, but I've kind of drifted from it in the past couple of years. I think I feel like getting geeky and startiing watching a new series, but since I've been out of the anime loop for...

olisaur Thanks for the response. ^o^ I've watched some of Eureka seven in the past; I wasn't too crazy about it, though. And I forgot to mention Ouran Host Club- I LOVE it! I finished watching a season of it already, lol. I'll check out the other you mentioned.

Mine is 80% for pleasure, like a hobbie, 10% to pass to others some things I know and 10% to earn. For you what is the reason to start a blog and get into the blogosphere?

olisaur ...oops. I meant "pleasure," not "please" lol.

olisaur I never knew J.K. Rowling was into mythology; I just thought she did her research when it came to naming characters, lol.

olisaur I've never heard of the story before, that's why I was just saying so. :O I've taken a ton of French classes in my schooling, and in french "loup" means wolf, so I wasn't surprised when I read that Lupin is a werewolf.

olisaur Yeah, I've seen a couple other authors use mythological and etymological names before. It's just fun when you run into the source without expecting it, it makes you say "Hey!" lol. ^-^

In my neighborhood, there are quite a few stray cats. There's this one particular one that comes to lay around our porch every so often, even though we don't feed him. This morning when I went outside, he was there and he kept...

olisaur Thanks for you very informative response. :) I don't think I can really afford a vet visit, so I suppose contacting the humane society would be the best option. Earlier this year, my family took in an abndoned kitten. It would be really bad is this sickness...

olisaur Actually, I am somewhat of an artist and I have a ton of watercolor paintings. I've always been unsure of giving them away, though...plus, they're all unframed. Thanks for the response, though.

olisaur Thanks for the response. Candles might be a good idea, I hadn't thought of that; and so it providing dinner. I've been planning on bringing my own towels, blankets, soap/shampoo and laundry supplies anyway. I'm really self-concious and fear being rude....

olisaur Yes, Quentin Tarantina is a very unique and talented director. I love Pulp Fiction (which also has a great soundtrack) and Inglorious B@sterds as well.

olisaur Thanks for the response! :D I think people are just being greedy and ignorant; I'm sure a lot of them have no idea how much effort goes into the music-making process. I also think it's just too hard to track down the illegal downloaders. There's so mnay of...

olisaur But if you're intending it for friends and family, shouldn't it have private settings? The blogs I like to read are more about stuff like music, art, fashion, travels, and societal commentary.

olisaur Of really? That's unfortunate. D: I used some tacky glue and it seems to be holding it together. May be I can just use it as a paperclip holder or something for my desk.
