Baseball, new fandom group, and a new home...

[mijan]

Greetings all...
After waking up this morning at 7:30 AM, when I only got to sleep after 2:00 last night, because my stomach hurt, I've come to a striking conclusion:  
I am NEVER eating Indian food again.  *growls*

So, all the latest in my life:
Yes, I'm still working on "Baseball Slash."  I hope to finish it very soon.  Hopefully, I'll get some inspiration today.  My mother, sister, and I are continuing our tradition we started last Easter of spending this prestigious Christian holiday at the most holy temple of worship in the region, if not the country - Fenway Park.  We've got tickets to the Red Sox game.  SQUEE!  Very excited.  It's the first game I'll be attending this season.  Of course for the previous three seasons, I was there for Opening Day, but alas, this year, things didn't pan out.

In the next news, I've joined hp_boston, which is the new local Harry Potter fangroup around the Boston area.  I already knew a couple of the people who are going to be involved, but the vast majority of them, I've only seen their screen names around, or not at all.  Yay!  New fandom people!  *bounces*

And speaking of new fandom people, I seem to have fallen in with the Malfoy clan.  A Potter?  Hanging out with the Malfoys?  Or what about moving into Malfoy Manor, in a sense?  
As soon as I can find a person to move into the room I'm currently renting in Arlington, I'll be heading a couple of towns over to move in with alabastard,  draco_p_malfoy, and Dobby, whose LJ name I don't actually know!  *meep*  If nothing else, life will certainly be interesting.  Definitely not "normal", but normal people scare me.  Actually, aside from the occasional Gryffidor/Slytherin taunts, we seem to get along quite well.  I think this will be quite a good thing, and I can't wait to be moved in, and for Draco to finally get here from England.  

Anyhow, I'm going to run to the store and get ready for the game.  Red Sox!  Peanuts, cracker jacks, Fenway Franks, ice cold beer... and BASEBALL.  Aaaah, life is good.

Well, as We're losing our token fine beer drinking Gryffindor/Hobbit, You rebalance Me and Draco's fine wine drinking Slytherin / Elven types ...

... and we DO have that Potter closet under the stairs, getting your nameplate made up *evil smirk*

Somehow this is going to be fun, very very fun ...

Dobby is delerium_23

Oh yes, Yankees and Voldemort in 2006 *raspberry*

Ahem, excuse me, I like fine wine, too, thank you very much. Sometimes I'm in a wine mood, sometimes I'm in a beer mood, and you should sample my gourmet cooking. Oh, and I can lead you to some of the "best kept secret" type restaurants in the area. *wink* Do you like good homestyle Italian food?

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

We've got plenty of fine liquor stores very close by... this is going to be quite fun.

A very happy Baseball day to you. Yea Red Sox! One day I will really have to get to Fenway.

And hooray for Baseball Slash, love that story.

Take care around those Malfoys, and let me know if you are coming to NYC this weekend.

*Hugs*

[lielabell.livejournal.com]

And you'll be rooming with all the Malfoys at Lumos too... You really have a thing for those Malfoys, don't you? *winks*

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Oh yesh, I'll be living with one group of Malfoys at home, and the other group at Lumos - are they all going to be fighting over their token Potter?

[halo4.livejournal.com]

have I poked you about Ol' Damon giving up the Dark Side and coming to the Yankees yet? I don't think I have! pokepokepoke!

ps: Indian food is awesome but wreaks havoc on one's digestion.....*urp*

later on!

Johny Damon:
Looks like Jesus.
Talks like Judas.
Throws like Mary.

You can have him. AND his bitchy wife, who I swear is at the root of all this.

And yesh, Indian food... definitely avoiding.

I knew you couldn't resist those Slytherin charms for very long!

*huggles*

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Oh yesh, the Slytherins. Very charming. As long as I don't wake up tied to a post, being prepared for sacrifice to Voldemort.

*hugs back*

wow i didn't know you were currently in Arlington. small world i am there almost every weekend with out fail. oh to bad i didn't find out sooner.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

I'll still be here for a couple of weeks, but most weekends, I'm usually busy or out of town. But if you're here any weeknight, let me know! We could grab a coffee. :D

[eleal.livejournal.com]

Good to hear you are still working on Baseball Slash! Haven't talked to you in awhile...glad things are going well. Fandom has been quiet lately, so I'm hoping summer inspires people again. Talk to you later!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, fandom has been quiet. I think a lot of "sub-groups" have separated out to do their own thing. I think Lumos will bring a lot of people together. It's just that the fandom is so damn big, it's almost too spread out. :(

Baseball Slash..*giggles*

ummm yeah. Arlington. yeah. my uncle used to live there. He lives in Middleburg now. *makes evil notes to stalk you when she visits him*

[loofa-serpent.livejournal.com]

Lol, SOME indian food's good. But it really depends on what you order and which restaurant. XD

I eagerly await Baseball Slash. Lol.

Cool. I've never been to a baseball game. Just basketball once. Lol. I was pretty young so I thought it was strange that people were yelling "Green Pants!". I realized much later that it was in fact De-Fence!

Lol, wow, so you'll be living with alabastard and draco_p_malfoy for awhile? Sounds like fun. You'll definitely have liking HP in common. XD Have fun! =D

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Yes, life will be interesting, that's for sure!

And... green pants? Well, it's amazing what the mind of a child will creat. :)

[princesskariboo.livejournal.com]

*various styles of freak-out* I need to talk to you about visiting! *rolls about on the floor*

I am going to email you right now my cell phone number. I have class most of the day today, but have free time between 4 and 6. If I don't hear from you by six (and I make at least a dent in the ridiculous amount of work I have O.o) I will call you on your cell.

*dies*

Down by the river, down by the banks of the river Chaaahhles...

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

So, do you have to actually live in Boston to be a part of this group? 'Cause, any excuse to go to Boston, y'know.

Re: Down by the river, down by the banks of the river Chaaahhles...

[mijan.livejournal.com]

No, you don't have to live in Boston. As long as you can drive here, and you want to be involved, you can come! And you should! Oh, it would be so nice!

Hey, I saw your post about the scalping of Lumos tickets over on their forum, and I just wanted to give you some major props for having the cojones to say what you did. I just sucka'ed up $240 for a ticket, and while I'm very very very happy to have gotten one, I do feel like it was rather wrong of these people to be scalping. On one hand, I definitely benefitted from it, because the seller could easily have just returned the ticket to Lumos, and I would've still been sitting ticketless on the waiting list. On the other hand, it's shitty for them to be profiting off this. At the very least, they could simply sell to the first person who e-mails them for $180 (the price anyone who gets in off the waiting list would have to pay). And the poster was quite a jackass to you in return. That sucks. But good for you for standing up for us suckas. :)

BTW, now that I am going, I will definitely want to be purchasing one of your wands.

And I'm really loving the baseball slash idea. Go Gryffindor Red Sox!!!

*friends you*

[mijan.livejournal.com]

LOL... *friends you back*

Hey, it's just my Gryffindorish sense of riteousness demanding fair prices for all, right? I'm glad you got a ticket, but you shouldn't have paid more than the other guy did. It's just not right.

And yay for purchasing wands! Did you want one of the ones I had already made, or a custom one?

[imperial-dragon.livejournal.com]

lol, did the red sox win?

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Of course they won! *bounces*

Take me out to the ballgame!
Take me out to Fenway!
Six-dollar peanuts and cracker jacks,
I can't afford to ever get back!

Well it's Root! Root! Root! for the RED SOX!
If they don't win it's a shame,
For it's ONE! TWO! THREE beers you're broke,
At the old ball game!

*grins*
