Happy birthday to

__hibiscus!

First of all, a notice - I haven't got a single comment notification for a solid week now. I hope the problem will be solved soon, but in the meanwhile, if I haven't answered a comment of yours? There's a very, very high chance that I haven't seen it at all. :) It also means that if you've got anything important to tell me, you'd better send me an email. ;)

On the other hand, about HP7 spoilers, since they're starting to circle in my lj-corner as well... if you're planning on making (or if you already have) a spoilers filter? Please, keep me out of it. :) And if you're not going to, I'm really appealing to your common sense and/or courtesy - please, use lj cuts, mark them clearly as spoilers, all that jazz. I would really love to keep myself unspoilered until July, if possible. :P I'll be careful and pay as much attention as I can, but, you know, all kind of help will be appreciated. ;) Thank you in advance! ♥

(I still can't forget how I'd managed not to hear anything about OotP (not too hard, that, I didn't even have this account yet) and on the day of the release? On the newspaper I've always read? In the very last line of the (unsigned, obviously) article about the book, in the cultural section? I find "And the readers will finally learn that the character dying is Sirius Black, (and in case it wasn't clear enough) Harry's godfather". God, but I was one pissed off monkey that morning. :P)

...you know, I'd better figure out how to keep me entertained during my online time, in the days between the book release and my actually getting a copy - last year I did this, and it DID entertain me for days - though I was quite close to the I-can't-bloody-take-it-anymore stage by the end of it - but there are only so many times you can tag every single entry you've made in your own journal. (Namely, ONE.) I'll really have to figure out something.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I want to be spoilt by ANY spoilers I can fidn about DH.... so, of course, I was planning to add as many LJ cuts as possible asn what-not. ;D
(oh, and about selling this book with my illustrations on my website, it's just a project actually. I think it's too expensive anyway...)

*giggles* I swear I don't really understand you spoiler-craving people all that much. ;D It takes half the fun away! I mean - you can't try to figure out what's going on, ending up making half-baked and half-assed thoeries that get more and more absurd the more complicated the plot becomes! :P

I'm not keen on reading spoilers. Actually, I kind of hate it.
But HBP disappointed me a lot - writing in itself as much as the plot - and i'd rather know before if the seventh book is worth buying... That's all. :D

Heh... that's not really a issue for me, you know? Ootp and Hbp had to disappoint me a lot more, for me not to buy the book. I've got this far, I'm way too curious not to buy Dh. :)

Maybe you'll post something about the seventh book after reading it? ;) I will be there to read... your spoilers. :D :D
*adores you*

Oh, I'll post all right - probably when I'm halfway through it, with crazy theories about this or that that will turn out to be wrong by the end of the book. ;D

It's more the days between the release and me getting the book that I'm worried about, really - those could be tricky. I suppose I could get off my lazy butt and finally do something about the recs-journal I never really worked on. :P

*glomps*

Oh, I would love to read your POV about it! provided I'll be able to find a computer and read my flist comments throught my staying at Sectus...

Oh, no need to worry about that - knowing me? By the time I'll actually have something posted, you'll have probably been back from Sectus for a week already. ;D

Too bad you can't come, really. Will you be working at that time? :((

Exams time! Both June and July. ^^;

Semesters are quite different here. Whatever happens, July means holidays for students. *g*
I'm crossing my fingers for you! I hope it won't be too difficult.

The free month is August for us ;) Then again, it might have been the same as you before, I don't really know how it used to be - they changed the "university structure" shortly before I got in. Basically splitting up the classes in two different (and separate) "modules". (For instance, old Mathematical Analysis 1 got split into Analysis 1 and 2, the old Analysis 2 subsequently became Analysis 3 and 4, etc etc etc.)

Oh, it will be a lot of work all right ^^; I'm not exactly anxious for those months to come. :P

And haven't I just bored you to death...

Funny how the educational system as for unis changes quickly - in France, I think they do change it every single year. I've been to uni for about seven years, and I can't remember a year without a module change. Rules are to be broken it seems. *g*

Give me your brian with the maths inside! one day, I need to understand what it is all about! :D

Nah, I'm still alive. *g*

Good to know it's not just us, then XD;

Sure, you can have mine! I just... don't remember where I left it last time I used it...? *scratches chin*

In the table, over there? *rushes to have it and the knowledge within* *ggg*

You'll have to work for it a little, though - I'm pretty sure you'd have to make your way through a lot of porn, before gettin to the knowledge part. ;D

What? Porn is distracting. :P

No problem for me. I must say this is quite a fascinating challenge to go through all the porn and getting.. er, what again? *g*

Porn is distracting.

*nods* Not that I would ever complain about it. Still, when I, er, I mean someone reads slash when they're supposed to work... ;D

More porn? ;P

Still, when I, er, I mean someone reads slash when they're supposed to work...
...weird little sketches suddenly appear out of nowhere all over the edges of the sheets you're working on? And thankfully they're all in pencil, otherwise you'd have to start again? *g*

(Ah! Your icon reminded me-- I've started reading Death Note. :D I'm having fun with it!)

*laughs* That used to happen a lot when I was still a student. Actaully I should draw some more for my website and I happen to have fun reading very interesting fics. :D

Death Note in English or in Italian? or perhaps... in JAPANESE?! :D

You should!

In English! I'm not even sure if it's been trnalsated in Italian or not. And definitely NOT in Japanese, that I can assure you. ;D

It was eventually released her in French... though I'd rather stick to the English version. I wish I could have the Japanese version to compare teh different versions. :)

Heh, sometimes you can find the raw versions around - after all, scnlators do have to work on something *g* - but... I don't know if it's be possible to find the DN ones. I'm afraid it's a bit too famous. (AND a bit too licensed.) :/

The more famous it is, the less expensive it becomes in Japan - I mean, in the second hand bookshops. *g*
I may consider one day if I can travel again to Japan to buy these! :)

Btw, do you know any good websites with an interesting list of original mangas (nro even not the original!). I'm desperatly looking for a series I'm absolutely in love with and I can't find the following...

You might do that. ;D

I think I might have the thing for you - http://www.manganews.net/ is a site where is listed every single manga that was touched by english text. Licensed titles and scanlated title alike are on there - and with the scanlated titles, they give you a link to the scan-group(s) that is (are) taking care of them. I tracked down everything Saika Kunieda thanks to them *g*

*tacklesglompssmooches*
Thank you SO much! :) I wiull find my happiness there. *dreaming*
Saika Kunieda? who's she? I've never heard of her. A yaoi mangaka, perhaps? :)
