A public apology to Alfie Enoch:

The DVD of Order of the Phoenix has been on sale for over week now, hasn't it? And, exactly what has been heard from this corner of the world re: said DVD? That's right, nothing. Alfie, you must think I've forgotten all about you, that I've moved on to other fascinations within the HP world.

I assure you, this is not the case.

I am horribly embarrassed to admit that it took me a full week to actually purchase the DVD, and that this conversation actually occurred this weekend between copilot and I:
cp: I'm surprised you haven't got the Harry Potter DVD yet.
me: OH CRAP, I'D FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT, OMG. I AM THE WORST FAN EVER!
cp: kaalee, can you lower your voice a little, I think London is trying to sleep...

So, while, on the surface it may appear that I have abandoned you in the wake of "zomg, christmas rush," in fact, I've been busy and just got sick and had about 394875 things to do that rhyme with "Smeal Life" and couldn't actually act like the kaalee you know and love.

Honestly, who else even notices you in the random scenes?

( observe:Collapse )

Alfie, I promise, it'll never happen again. For the DVD release of HBP I will camp out in front of the movie store four days in advance wearing nothing by my I ♥ Dean sandwich board and playing the HP theme on a makeshift instrument of lightbulbs and chess pieces and composing sonnets about the wonder of Alfie in iambic pentameter.

Forgive me? Please?

copilot got rear-ended when he was driving tonight. He's okay. (thank heavens. I'm a little more than wibbly about it.) The person that caused the accident had been on their cell phone.

Coincidentally, today as I was on my way home, I almost got sideswiped by someone else who swerved at the last minute -- and when I looked at her after my initial shock, I noticed she was on a cell phone as well.

I don't get preachy here on my LJ -- well, except for like... be nice to teachers and omg, Dean is hot -- but... well, in the stress of this season, and life, really...

Please just really, really think before you pick up the phone when you're in the car. No matter what, the person that you're talking to is just not in the same environment that you are. Yes, it's talking, but it's very different than talking to another passenger who can see what's going on. It may or may not start out as a quick phone call, but even the shortest ones clip our attention span and can make a big difference. In the grand scheme of things, does the conversation really have to happen right then? I'm sure it can wait to pull into the 7-11 for a diet coke and some M&M's.

And just remember: every person that talks on the phone while driving makes Harry's cock a little bit shorter. *nods* I read that in the New York Times, I think. Or maybe a dream. One or the other.

psssst...

That person over there? *points*

Was just totally checking you out.

mraorw.
