Yeah. I had a close friend who had only just finished Azkaban. She came to me, excited about reading such a great book, and said, "I just want to know one thing. What happens to Sirius? Does he ever clear his name? Is he in the other books? Does Harry ever go live w/ him? What does he do later on?" I had a hard time saying ANYTHING. |

Svetlana Khorkina is definitely a drama queen and a diva, but not in the good way. I used to like her, but her recent attitude had turned me off. Now back to your previously scheduled topic. |

Recent? It wasn't recent. She had a wonderful attitude compared to the Sydney games. She had a "recent" improvement. In Sydney, she was immature for sure w/ that whole taking off her silver medal thing. But if you saw her interview in prime time that was filmed in Russia, in her hometown, I don't see how you could say you were turned off. She showed her sweet side and it was obvious that the only time she has an "attitude" is when she's competing. She's focused and in a zone. It's very important to Russia and the only reason she even had an attitude is cause she was taught to be that way. Did you see her coach? He was WAY worse. She had a great reaction to her silver and was not snobbish or unsportsmanlike in any way when all way said and done. She waved her flag and smiled and genuinely congratulated Carly Patterson. I thought she was awful Sydney, and it was refreshing to see her grow up and act her age in Athens. |

Ok, on a more POSITIVE (hint, hint) happier note, I've got some pics to share. They're anime-like drawings by fans that I thought were really cool:![]() ![]() ![]() |

They're good, but too bad it's unlikely that Harry and Hermione are going to hook up. BTW: KarunaDreamer, I guess you haven't read the comments made by Khorkina as of late. She's fuming that she didn't win gold in the all-around b/c she wasn't American. Not b/c she fell off the bars, fell off the beam, stumbled on all her landings, had no grace in her floor routine, and basically screwed up. But b/c she wasn't American. Carly, while having a tendency to falter under pressure, did phenomenal that night. She was just incredible. |

I HAVE READ her comments, EMT. But you can't deny that svetlana is an incredible gymnast, too. (I've seen alot of Carly and I really don't think she's all that great. I think she had "a good night".) Anyone who's not American has been saying stuff like Svetlana was the whole games. Because we are always the biggest and the strongest and, yeah, it gets annoying to other countries. I can see that. It's too bad you insist on singling her out. Russians don't think like us. Their sense of ediquette is different from ours. I'm not making excuses for her, but I'm celebrating that she's a great gymnast and nothing more. I don't know her personally and neither do you, so I don't see how we can judge. I don't want to discuss this further in here. This isn't the Olympic thread. We'll have to agree to disagree. Let's get back to the HP discussions here. |

The 4th pic in your most recent post should have the sub-title.."So, Harry. Is that a broomstick or are you just happy to see me?" |

THIS one is my favourite one of these artists' drawings so far. It's one of the few pics that you'd have to have read ALL the books so far to know what's going on in it. I knew right away what it was supposed to be. It's from "The Order of the Phoenix" (book 5), during the part where Harry protects Hermione in The Department of Mysteries from Voldemort's followers. I love it:

Just one more thing and we're done: You're making too many wrong assumptions about me and that's pissing me off. I don't deny that Khorkina is an amazing gymnast, especially on bars. But she was off that night and Carly did the best in her career (as I said she has a tendency to falter under pressure, like the first two nights of the Olympics and the Trials). Khorkina's comments were totally unnecessary. If she's bitter, that's her problem, not Carly's. Back to the pictures: KarunaDreamer, are you one of those Harry/Hermione-shippers? No offense if you are, you just seem to post just those kind of pics. I don't mind if Dan and Emma hook up, but Harry and Hermione hooking up is pretty much out of the question. As my sister said, "Ew, yo." |
