Behold,as my brilliance wanders aimlessly with myself in pursuit!

So I still haven't heard back from the repair shop about how long it's going to take to get my car fixed, but: when Dad called to try and find out (since I don't get up before they close) he was told they were already removing broken parts (o.o) and should have an estimate sometime tomorrow. Which is today, as I type this. <<;

I'm re-reading the Harry Potter books during my lunch at work;most of the time i'm at home i'm either online when I can be, or playing video games. >:p That was not the point at the beginning of this paragraph!

The point was: in Book Two, Percy takes 5 points off Ron for something he said, and besides the fact that Ron was right, it hits me: Book five tells us Prefects cannot take points.

So, as I cannot imagine Percy not knowing that, I only see two possibilities: This is a mistake in the book, or something she changed, or Percy was that much of a git already. << And that's 3 things, but still. The point I started with has been covered!

Oh wait, the other thing. Does it ever say, in any of the books, whether Riddle did get to stay the summer. Because, as far as I know in canon, we don't know if any of the staff stay over the summer, and if they do, Headmaster Dippet seemed like exactly the sort that would've let Riddle stay.

And frankly, the thought of one Tom Riddle with free run of Hogwarts for even one summer is scary.

Was playing BoF3;had to quit when I got to the part where you lose Teepo and Rei. Fixing this being the whole focus of my attempts at writing fan-fic for this game.

Sat there fiddling with paper-stuff and several things began to hit me, one after the other, all fic related.

Item the first: Despite the fact that Neville complains about Uncle Algie's enthusiastic fits, he has them himself. Except when he gets that energetic, he's suddenly asking 'why' about everything, and there just aren't enough answers in the world. XD Pointing this out to him resulted in a major sulk, as he'd apparently rather eat glass than admit to having anything in common with his Uncle. LMAO!

Item the second: Despite never finishing any fics, there is a certain pattern in how they develope, and that is this.

Start with a general idea of what i'm doing, maybe just a one shot or something short; in comes my favorite character, usually not the main hero, but often a villian or side character, with an idea that will end up with them having everything they wanted, or not being dead, etc. And then the thing takes on a life of its own, becoming increasingly complicated.

Interestingly enough, this making things too complicated? I have noticed also happens when I'm drawing. Yes, I've gotten good enough now that I can actually say I'm drawing, although not alot; I also tend to redo things constantly, variations on a theme.

Examples, in fic:

( Ronin Warriors/Samurai Troopers )

Or, ( Chrono Trigger and Cross-One brave messed-up world! )

And on and on in rather similar veins, including but not limited to: Yami no Matsuei, Mega Man (Legends and some amount of what came before) Harry Potter, I think in the dim mists of memory there was something about Thunder Cats, but that was daydreaming before I'd even heard of fanfiction...

Current edging towards disaster: Teepo, BoF3, would like to be hooked up with Fou-lu, BoF4. I cannot begin to detail the problems just crossing realities would cause, since they are different realities not times. >.<

Yeah, I complain, but someday I will get these things finished, not in bits and pieces everywhere. And then I will be happy! ^_^
