So I have a bunch of thoughts.

Saw OotP. It was good. It was really good, but for some reason, I don't feel like writing about it. It's the same about the book...I kind of feel like, I don't know, I've lost a bit of the HP spark. It's become almost routine for me: I see the movies, I wait for the books, I read the books, I talk about the books--there isn't the same thrill as there used to be. I don't know if it's because it's happened so many times that the high is wearing off, or if it's because I'm older, or if it's just because my mind is on other things and I'm moody as all hell lately. Shrugs all around.

I was chatting with my best friend over messenger the other day, and we were having this conversation, about an alternate universe where I was a gay man named JJ (my parents would have named me John if I was a boy) and she was a super-girly girl (in this universe, she's a mostly angry commie who, if not masculine, is pretty darn tough) and we would still, of course, be BFF, except we would bitch about people's clothes together...and I just thought "this is it." When they talk about going away to college, everyone always says how much they'll miss everyone, but I've been realizing I really won't. I'm not antisocial, I just don't form really strong connections with many people. There are a few close friends I'll miss, but more people are "meh, too bad" and a goodly number are "oh thank god I don't ever have to look at your annoying face ever again." But that's what I'll miss. Just talking about the weirdest thing, planning when we want to hook up (Hairspray on Friday, tentatively)...I'll miss that. A lot. And the funny thing? As an online convo, it probably means I won't have to miss it. I'll have convos with her over the course of the year. But it just felt very lonely.

Something I am excited about: Rent. Or, more specifically, Mark/Roger fic. I really was hankering for a new slash pairing (I'd gotten bored with both Harry/Draco and Wincest), and that just fit my needs perfectly. Anyone interested *must* check out gildedmuse because she is absolutely amazing. I've read pretty much ever M/R story she has in the last few days, and I adore them all. For the pr0n-minded (feel no shame, I am part of your ranks), I very highly recommend the Mucho Masturbation series, as well as her holiday series (Santa Blows and Fuck Like (Easter) Bunnies), and damn, pretty much anything she wrote. Love.
