[Obligatory hatred of cleaning here.]

I am ridiculously pleased with myself over my meager efforts to update dailydigestnews, because, let's face it, three days in a row is a better record than I usually had at the old site anyway. I'm still going slowly, but I'm trying to put up just enough each day to get myself back into the habit. So far I've put up bits about the Karla Homolka movie with Laura Prepon getting pulled, that soccer hooligans movie of Elijah Wood's that has a new name every time I turn around, a Serenity interview with Joss Whedon, a hilarious pan of Alexander on DVD, and lots of Potter news. I think I actually like this format a lot better, because it's got 1) tags, for easy cross-referencing (look! All the Potter entries!) and 2) comments, so I can actually interact with people. Oh, and it doesn't involve me hand-coding shit on an amateurish Geocities page. WHEE.

ETA: Omg, you guys, I just found a handwritten journal I kept in a three-ring binder from February to July of 1997 (my last semester of high school through my first internship). On the very first page, after announcing that my hand-me-down borrowed laptop won't work and that "I must write or die," I immediately begin snarking on recent X-Files episode titles, which is somehow both pitiful and hilarious. It also reminds me why I think pop-culture writing is made for public discourse: it's fun when a bunch of people get together and talk about it. It's sad when your only audience is yourself.

heee, that amused me. Quick q - is the other DD comm dead now?

[cellardoor28.livejournal.com]

oh, and

am I the first Slytherin member of the OotP?

[lotusbiosm.livejournal.com]

no. Snape.

[edda.livejournal.com]

I'm Slytherin too, according to that test. Whee evil!

[hawleygriffen.livejournal.com]

Same here. I think Cleo's results are the best, though. Ravenclaw and a member of the Order? Dammit! I'm a Slytherin banker.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Nah, we've been using the other comm for people to post reviews in, although I think the last one came in about May or so...

[cellardoor28.livejournal.com]

Ah, fair play.

And there's nothing wrong with X-File snarking :p

[bunnymonkey.livejournal.com]

Oh, fantastic. Your patronus is a banshee? Dammit!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Dude, I saw that and immediately thought of you. What were the ODDS, yo?

I had to guess on your age, BUT:

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

NARGH! I used "The Amazing McRachel" as your name, btw.

[bunnymonkey.livejournal.com]

Close enough! Man, it's like I have nowhere to turn. Even my allies are against me. I'm totally freaked out now. The cockroach clusters are cracking me up, though. No wonder the palmetto bugs are attacking me -- they know I eat their comrades.

Since you do HP memes, I thought I'd pimp this one I made up (http://www.livejournal.com/users/arielchan/205988.html). My friends claim it's addictive, so I want it to spread. ^_^

[ernie-lundie.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Your icon is great. Where did you get it?

[arielchan.livejournal.com]

The scene is from a webcomic called Sinfest. I just shrunk it down and made it an icon. ^_^

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Done! And... I kinda went a little overboard with mine.

Ooh, I'm an auror.

[gniko.livejournal.com]

[skyblade.livejournal.com]

I saw the cover to the Alexander DVD, which advertises "Newly Inspired, Faster Paced, More Action"...I've never seen such an admission of guilt on a DVD before. I imagine Stone didn't approve the stamp, as his would say "Not as gay! Alexander's practically allergic to sausage in this one! I promise!"

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

I'm a Slytherin with a 10 inch mahogany wand with unicorn hair for her pleasure. I have an Egyptian Mau cat. Yay, I'm gonna be an Auror!

"I must write or die,"

We were all so dramatic in high school. I always find it kind of funny when I read stuff I wrote back then.

[silaquiholimion.livejournal.com]

Try your only audience being your mom.

*sigh*.

No one else remembers the things I [would] reference because they weren't alive when it happened, or just don't pay attention to anything.

Snarking!

[whoisdialogue.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen X-Phile flavoured snark in nearly four years! If it's not to terribly horrifying, you should share with the rest of the class....oh, the heady days of OMGWTFPHOEBE?

Re: Snarking!

[cindyg.livejournal.com]

I second the motion; both as an X-Phile and as a lover of snark as only cleolinda can generate.

^__^

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

Cleo, that meme implied I'm a Goblin! It sent me working in Gringott's *cries*

[schtroumph-c.livejournal.com]

Ah! Pretty accurate, I'm Minister!

[duncanatrix.livejournal.com]

So I've been asked a couple times, and I'm wondering...see my icon? It's one of yours...but what's that photo from?

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

Lost In Translation, I believe. But I could be wrong. That is Scar Jo, right?

[duncanatrix.livejournal.com]

It is; I have had another girl tell me that it was from that, and it was my original assumption and what I had been saying, I just wanted to make sure.

Ship icons make me smile.

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

Merci. Lost in Translation icons make *me* smile.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's from a Lost in Translation poster. I feel bad, because it was one of my early ones, and I could totally make a much better one now.

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

Ooer! Can you pretty please make a new, pretty LiT icon? I would love you more than I already do.

[duncanatrix.livejournal.com]

I couldn't love it any more than I do :)

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

I've got lofty ambitions, at least.

.:runs off to read the Joss interview you posted, cause Joss is God. A vengeful, evil, brilliant god:.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

OT: Pls. check your mail on Saturday. Especially if it is hot there right now.

*wanders off mysteriously*

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Actually, maybe check it today too. And Monday. The postal service isn't the most precise entity in the world.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awww! Hee.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Looking back on my old journals makes me want to spork my 13/14/15-year-old self's eyes out. *barfs*

[lamiael.livejournal.com]

Well, if I must be a Gryffindor, then at least I make it to Minister for Magic! Powerlust, what?

[scary-lullabies.livejournal.com]

Well, by all means, let us see teh snark!
