(no subject)

Not only I'm going to sign up for hp_tarot - oh, insult me all you like, hopefully it'll make me change idea, I'd be ever so grateful, though I wouldn't hope for it too strongly - but damn, all those sign-up things look so appealing! - I think I might even be doing Flitwick.

Yup.

Free to shoot me.


Completely changing subject - I'm reading The Kite Runner. Holy shit. That is really the first comment to it that comes to mind. For once you can believe what the jacket review says - provocative, painfully honest, and I don't remember what else they said.

Also, my mental Peter (Pettigrew, I mean) is coming to resemble a lot the main character, Amir.

Man am I loving that book - but I can't read too much of it at once, empathizing is pretty easy. And... they're not nice things.

I slipped the picture back where I had found it. Then I realized something: That last thought had brought no sting with it. Closing Sohrab's door, I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.

I've just finished aforementioned book, and GOOD LORD (nevermind I'm not exactly the religious type) I needed to draw a smile. Badly. So... this. Which is really very much of a sketch.

At first, the image I'd thought of was a Lily, holding a hat to her head with both hands and laughing at the camera. Then... I chose Peter. Mostly because, as I said, Amir reminds me strongly of the idea I have of him. And then... well, I don't think I'll surprise anyone if I say that I strongly disagree from the fandom's take on Peter. It's the very definition of "easy way out". Reality... is pretty much more complex than that.

No worries, I won't start ranting or anything like that.
