Scary little girls
Always liked horror stories/movies. Grew up on them, even if they scared the hell out of me. I used to cover my neck with a blanket for fear that a vampire will come to the window to suck my blood. And I couldn't sleep if doors and closets were open. They have to be shut. Well, up to now, open doors and closets still make me uncomfortable when I'm about to sleep. Anyways, I got off on this whole horror thing because I was trawling the Web instead of working—Sigh. I'm having a hard time writing about a place I haven't been!—and came across this quiz. Have fun!

Goodbye, Harry! It's been a blast...
I haven't actually read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yet. But I thought I should comment about the whole series coz of the fact that the last book's out already—and yes, I'm feeling kind of sentimental about the whole thing having to end. I kind of envy the kids who grew up on the series. Imagine having a pivotal, major work of literature come out while you were growing up! It's gotta mark them somehow, the same way that my generation has been irrevocably imprinted with Sesame Street, The Electric Company, The Muppet Show—and yes, Voltes V, Mazinger Z, and Daimos. In a way, these TV shows made me who I am today. I wonder what the kids who grew up with Harry will grow up to be like?
