Bits and Bobs on a Friday Morning

[anogete]

- There are too many raisins in Raisin Bran. I think they should cut back. However, it does taste wonderful with soy milk.

- My 401(k) doesn't look like it wants to cry anymore. I've almost gained back all the money I lost a couple months ago.

- Why is Rupert Grint so adorable? How old is he? 16?** God, I'm such a perv. Shoot me.

- We're getting a real receptionist at work. The current pseudo-receptionist (who can't spell) gave notice yesterday since she'll be tied up with school and unable to work the proper hours. I put an ad in the classified to run this weekend. Now, I just have to cross my fingers that we get decent applicants.

- I started writing a fic yesterday. It's over 5,000 words at the moment, but I'm not sure where I'm taking it. It's Draco/Hermione. I don't know how good it is because I've never written that 'ship before and I gave up on reading so many of the Dramione stories because Draco was suddenly a super suave fellow who secretly loved Hermione the entire time. It weirds me out. If anyone 'ships the Dramione and wants to read it to tell me if it's utter shit or not, please contact me. I suspect my flist is filled with non-HP readers or SS/HG, LM/HG 'shippers, though.

- At least it's Friday. I'm taking Monday off because I feel like it.

EDIT: **He's actually 19. I feel a bit better now.

Isn't 16 the age of sexual consent in Britain?

I'm just saying.

You're not alone.

I'm a pretty hardcore SSHG shipper (the kind where Hermione is allowed to stray, while Snape is not), but I have read a few Dramiones that worked for me.

I don't mind if Draco has been harboring a secret attraction to Hermione; but I can't quite buy that he has been secretly in love with her. That's a bit too much. And considering how little he knows her...what exactly would he have been in love with?

More than 5,000 words in, I certainly hope you don't chuck your story!! As to where you take it...a threesome with a certain snarky man in black never hurts (well, only in a GOOD way!)!!

I'll read! If you're turned off by all the Dramione stories that have Draco turned into a sexy, angsty woobie, then I think your story and I will get along ^_^

I'm sure the fic is wonderful...but I just CAN'T read HP stuff.

There are NOT too many raisins in Raisin Bran. Shame on you, shame I say!!! LOL

Well, you know how much I love the idea of Dramione. The execution of this 'ship is, I grant you, sadly lacking. Way too much "how d'you do? would you like to shag?" going on. Even though someone has offered to see your 5000 words, I'd still like to see it too. ^-^

When I was little I used to pick all the raisins out of my bowl and put them back in the box. At the end we were left with a giant box of raisins. Then I discovered Wheaties! My mom was very happy, because she would get bowls of raisins with one flake per bite, lol.

Rupert Grint is my new hero, for saying what everyone else is thinking, "Lindsay Lohan can't act!" <3 Rupert.

Yay new receptionist! Good luck!
