It's here... Potterdammerung...

Haha, UPS delivered my copy of Deathly Hallows at 10am on the dot. And... and I waited a half hour before I actually opened it and started reading. >_>;;; Ahahaha... only read a few chapters before I decided to flee the house. Am at the library again, until 5, I think. Or earlier if I get hungry.

I almost didn't want to leave the house, since mom was frying up chicken for me to have for lunch. ;__; And she would've done french fries, too. But I left instead. I guess I can have it for dinner. But still! It smelled good. Then again, everyone knows what I need the first thing in the morning is a fight an argument with the paternal figure. I went with the better part of valor.

I think I'm babbling. I have another Frappaccino. ♥

Now to finish Constitutional Law, and maybe Torts. Or Criminal Law. I haven't decided yet.

REMEMBER IF YOU SPOIL ME I WILL CALL DOWN FROTHING RAGE UPON YOU. I CAN'T FINISH READING UNTIL AFTER THE BAR.


( cut for spoilers for the first... 3 chapters of DH? I didn't read far, but I'm being ranty... )

... well, I guess it's to be expected

I've been wondering why it's been so quiet on LJ lately, but then I realized that it's pretty much because of the trifecta of Potterdammerung, Otakon, and the latest LJ Wankpocalypse.

How sad, that the pr0n should suffer in this terrible time. Won't anyone think of the innocent pr0n?

Yes, I'm having a hard time finding fics to read. But that should be a good thing since I can focus on studying since this week's been boring.

So so so!

... so!

There's this guy sitting at the table next to mine. He... he keeps asking me for computer help. Like I have a big GEEK SQUAD sticker on my forehead or something. Whatever. I'm reasonably knowledgable and he was polite and not creepy, so I don't mind helping. He's apparently writing a biology book review/paper and he needs to email it to his professor... YES I'VE LOOKED AT HIS DOCUMENT THAT MANY TIMES.

In the last hour I have:

-- showed him how to put page numbers on his paper (in the bottom right hand corner)
-- showed him that hitting 'Enter' repeatedly will scroll his paper down to the second page so his cover page can be on the first page
-- showed him that hitting 'Backspace' repeatedly will scroll his text back up after he types in the cover page info, which offset his essay so it wasn't at the top of the second page anymore
-- showed him how to add an attachment to his email (he uses Yahoo)

... his professor's email is to ULV, which I assume is 'University of LaVerne'. I think I recognize it.

That he is taking college classes and doesn't know how to properly format a document in Word, or send attachments with email rather frightens me. Perhaps he is young, even though he is very large. But I still knew how to email and send attachments when I was 16, in high school, with AOL. Maybe I'm just biased because I'm an utter geek.

He was very awed that a girl knew how to do such things. I caught his expression a number of times, and he was very grateful.

Perhaps he has never seen a geeky girl before. We're a rare breed, or so I've heard. Like the mythical girls who are gamers. Everyone knows THOSE don't exist.


EDIT...

Now I have:

-- showed him how to copy and paste his paper onto a forum thread, since his professor wants the book reviews on the class online forum
-- I have taught him what the shortcuts 'CTRL-A', 'CTRL-C', and 'CTRL-V' do
-- I was right about the University of LaVerne, too

I will further edit if he needs more help from me. >_>;;

Am I being a bitch? Someone tell me if I'm being a bitch. ;__;

Break time!

*has a chocolate chip cookie and hot chocolate from the cafe*

This should tide me over until I leave and get some real food, like a meal, into my belly.

Mmmm chocolate.

Yes, I know I'm babbling. Constitutional Law does this to me. Yay for the Commerce Clause.


EDIT...

I have some of the weirdest and most unhelpful tags ever. But Magellan is still a sometimes food.


RE-EDIT...

Just a half hour more and I'll leave. I still need to drop by Staples for new pens and to find an analog clock. And I want that fried chicken. ;__;
