i played the snooze game with my alarms for about an hour this morning. and then i just fell back asleep. got up somewhere around 9. for a non-neurotic person, this would probably be fine. i, however, am made insane by it. see, if i don't get useful things done in the morning, the day is a wash.

but actually, i don't think today will be a total wash. i've already done some beta work. and i will be practicing with annelarissa and maybe going to the 17th century song seminar with her. and then to rehearsal tonight. so, right there, those things prevent wash-ness. good.

i'm neville-obsessed in my head lately. do you have any neville recs for me? neville/anyone - harry, draco, ron... etc. meep?

yesterday, fearlessdiva quoted some old posts of hers that were really funny to read from this vantage point - some quite ironic - and also made me kind of nostalgic for lj days of yore. not that it's not great now. but, things change, you know?

anyway, i don't have the patience to go through very many of my 2,500 posts. but here are a few from the first few months that amused me...

i've bolded some places i find particularly ironic or amusing.

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2002 talked to my friend [camilla] in siena last night. i miss her. she's been away forever. come back! even if we don't obsess on the same things, it's good to have other obsessive people in my life... people who understand the tendency. people i can really talk to. i miss her.

Tuesday, June 11th, 2002 i seem to have sudden fallen into a serious thing for lupin/black. and, lucky for me, there seems to be a hell of a lot of it out there. and some's pretty good. yay.

Wednesday, June 12th, 2002 no idea why i've fallen so fast into hp slash. i don't anticipate it will last long... once i've read all the remus/sirius that interests me. all the good writers write harry/draco...

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2002 [this was in a list of things that made me happy to be back in the states after two weeks in france and italy. it makes me smile.] - coffee. a large, hot mug of peruvian medium-roasted goodness with a little sugar and a little soy creamer. yeah. so much more satisfying to me than the mini mini spoonful of powerfully flavored espresso that i was drinking daily to fend off the caffeine headaches in europe. i am sure that if i lived there, i could get used to/learn to love coffee that way... well, sort of sure. but... i love the large mug, the mellow flavor, the high caffeine punch of a lighter roast, the half-hour taken to sip it all down... no standing at the bar for me, thanks, i want my coffee with some reading, writing, mellow morning, ease-into-the-day chillness.

Monday, July 8th, 2002 yes, as a wise friend once said, "dirty addictions are the best." [yes, that would be starbuckle]

Tuesday, July 9th, 2002 so, now have watched the hp deleted scenes [SS]. concluded that it would be a better movie with the scenes. but still... would it be that hard to develop harry as a character? to give the kid something to do besides knit his brown and occasionally look surprised?

also, this has only increased my great need to pinch rupert grint's cute little cheeks. steals the show, he does. [see? i loved him even then.]

Thursday, July 11th, 2002 i didn't quite realize i was sliding into hp slash until i hit bottom with a resounding thunk. and i can't see a way out...

i once thought there was no way in hell i would ever enjoy a harry/draco, or even worse a ron/draco. i am always wrong about those things.
