When you look back on your life, you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did.

Oh, I swore them off as well. But then I sort of watch one by mistake and decide it to take them as completely separate entities from the book… since then I’ve been able to watch them and complain/like what I think I should but enjoy something that I already know I adore!! lol

The movies and books age really well over time. I like the movies more after the 3th+ time I watched them. I liked the books more after the 2nd+ readthroughs. I don’t know why. I think it helps to watch the movies right after the other.
Like, I thought Harry was really whiny in the 5th book the first time I read it, but not anymore. And I thought…[Read more]

I refused to see any of the movies until I’d read all of the books.
Now I’ve seen some of them, and I saw Year 7 part one in theaters and was able to enjoy watching it by letting go of wanting it to be a close representation of the book.
I’ve read the books so many times that I think I subconsciously fill in the movie’s plot holes with my mind.

The fourth movie defenitely sucked, but the 7th movie part 1 is quite good imo

I’m a Gryffindor, though and through, complete with annoying Gryff flaws and A BADASS GUITAR SOLO.

on a side note, any AVPM/AVPS fans here? i feel like a large amount of my potter-related conversations eventually become giant quote recitations, and it is a glorious thing.

Slytherin, eh? I already feel like there’s something inherently wrong with you. :P
I would probably be in Hufflepuff. :”’-(
I prefer to be on the safer, law-abiding side than the adventurous rule-breaking side.
I’d much rather be in Gryffindor. Life’s too short to be a Hufflepuff.

I’d thought Ravenclaw, but I guess it would really be up to the hat.

Well, I wouldn’t be slytherin, I could be in Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff would suit my nature (sometimes), and Gryfindor would suit me for other times. So I just don’t know.

Ravenclaw for sure. Sometimes I’ve had quizzes and shit sort me into Hufflepuff, when they focus just on the “loyalty” part and forget the “unafraid of toil” part – which is so not me. But I actually think if I broke down the likelihood of me getting into any particular house, it would be:
1. Ravenclaw, 2. Slytherin, 3. Hufflepuff, 4.…[Read more]

biology nerd here \o/

Computing student here. Unfortunately thats like a 1-10 ratio of girls to guys, D’OH. But I really love programming and will be working in probably software or games someday hopefully

Oceanography and marine biology! Delaying grad school by raising larval sea animals in an aquarium.

I’m also in Civil Engineering! But I’m hoping to go into the construction management side.

Biology nerd, I’m just now watching a documentary on Darwins life. I keep refering to him as Dazza to my flatmate, because we’re besties me and Dazza.

My nerd passions are diverse! Currently I’m just beginning to get into programming. I only know one language but I’m in the process of learning more. I don’t know how useful that is without practicing and becoming more computer-fluent in general. Do any of you more experienced nerds have tips/resources/activities to recommend?

I’m an IT support and Web Developer for work but my nerdiness extends to pop culture as well. I love good sciFi especially (BSG, Firefly, STTNG, Ursula LeGuin, Samuel Delany just to start)…

this is pretty epic.
