beletseri, to do this:
List five weird personal habits. Then, tag five people to do the meme. Drop them comments to let them know it's their turn.
Um...
1) I say "gesundheit" or "bless you" to anyone who coughs or sniffles, as well as to sneezers. Among family, I say it if you sneeze, cough, sniffle, burp or fart. (DH's roommate started us on this habit with "gesundheit", but it evolved and took on a life of its own. Now that Babe is learning to talk and socialize we're trying to break it - without success.)
2) Pretty much first thing upon waking, I reach for a hair-tie. Sometimes it's on the side table, where I put it when I went to bed, sometimes it's still buried somewhere in my hair from the night before. I hate having hair in my face. (So why the long hair?)
3) Not a habit, per se, but I will, on a cyclical basis, stop and start reading. When I'm reading (reading phase usually lasts about 3 months at a time) I will devour books, but when the tide turns, I won't even read leaflets unless I have to. I usually don't get back to the books I abandon when the shift happens. Only email is pretty much exempt from this mood swing, though it is affected.
Gosh, this is hard. I don't really have many "habits" (that don't involve TMI)
4) Um... Again, not really a habit, but whenever I talk to myself (which is a habit, but can it really be considered "weird"?), it's in a Canadian accent. I've never lived in Canada, though my parents do.
5) I'm constantly stretching my neck to try and get it to pop. (Why bother with knuckles when you have vertebrae?)
Okay, so now I guess comes the tagging part. Um... I'll just choose from the most recent updaters, shall I? Soashfae, zalena, keladry_lupin, bonsaibetz, and karlajean. Tag. You're it.
Snape's Journal
March 11, 1998
Albus found a loophole. The bill states that all single persons of child bearing/rearing age will be bound to comply. If we marry the prime targets off now, we will deny Lucius his main revenge.
Of course, this solution is easiest for Potter. He and Miss Weasley I'm sure will be thrilled to openly share a room. Draco... I imagine he'll propose to Parkinson, as he does seem to have an affinity for the girl, though I can't see why. There's no conceivable possibility that he'd agree to Granger after what she did to him. I do believe he still stutters around her.
And that leaves Miss Granger. I believe she's actually in more danger than Potter himself, seeing as Lucius has taken an interest in her. She is probably a symbol of his downfall, and I shudder to think what he would do to her, or at least, try to do to her. Had Weasley not gone and won the Gryffindor Martyr of the Year Award, the solution would be simple enough. But he did, so now she's fucked.
On paper the solution seems easy enough. Miss Granger and I are the spares, so if we married each other, there would be no need to worry. The idea is laughable, though. I can't imagine a less suitable pairing, some rather interesting dreams aside. She is obnoxious, and I am, well, me. She is plain; I am distinguished. She is blunt, I am not. She's friends with Potter, while I actually have taste. Her parents are dentists, and I've always prided myself on avoiding those barbarous types.
I believe the term to describe us would be "Polar Opposites." Living together would be a nightmare, as even our hair types are opposite. I wonder how long it would take before she urged me to try one or all of her hair products, not that they do her much good. She probably uses thirty different types of cleanser, all of which would be heavily scented and contained in those ridiculously feminine bottles. And she does seem rather intent on changing the world, so probably her trying to rehabilitate my hair would only be the first step towards changing my entire person, which is completely unacceptable and highly presumptuous of her. But it would all be under the guise of "bettering the world," and me.
I doubt we would ever be happy with each other; there are too many differences.
I'd be amused to see how she's try to "better" Lucius. First, the attitude would have to go, then the money spent on clothes would be relegated to worthy charities... Of course, if anyone could be successful taming Hermione's hair, it would be Lucius.
But that rehabilitation of her hair would only take place if he didn't murder her within an hour of their marriage.
Maybe next time Lucius brings Miss Granger up in conversation, I should point out how formidable she is. And what a fiery temper she has (when not depressed). Granted, the mere idea of being married to Lucius is cause enough for any woman to be depressed..

Date: 2006-02-11 05:24 am (UTC)I do that as well. But usually, I go to the bathroom for a new tie when I can't find one on the bedside table. (Babe often "investigates" my table...) How about combs? Do they disappear on you? I swear that a year ago we had twenty combs piled up in the bathroom drawer, and now I can only find four. Grrr.
Thanks. So did you notice Snape's first slip of nomenclature? (hee hee. Plot movement!)

Date: 2006-02-11 06:49 am (UTC)Our problem is hair brushes. With so many girls running around the house brushing their hair, taking them out to the cars to brush their hair on the way, leaving them in the strangest places for a brush to be, like stuck under the couch. (okay they probably didn't deliberately stick the brush there, but it ends up there somehow.) I also find them in the pockets in the car, under the coffee table, under beds, under the kitchen table, on the kitchen table, just about everywhere. But after a while of chasing down brushes in unlikely places, they completely disappear. I can go out and buy 5 brushes, and I swear, in a couple of months, every single one of them are gone, and we are rummaging around the house trying to find anything to brush our hair with. That's when I know it's time to go buy some more!
