Quiz: Which Harry Potter Guy Should You Date?

Quiz: Which Harry Potter Guy Should You Date?

Answer: Ron Weasley
Your perfect “HP” guy is the cute, loyal, and funny redhead that everyone knows and loves — Ron Weasley! Even if he’s a little messy and gets himself into trouble sometimes, he’s an awesome Quidditch player and an even better friend. You definitely need to learn to deal with his crazy family — let’s be honest, five older brothers and a younger sister can get pretty hectic! On the plus side, you’ll totally feel secure with him — he’s always acting brave to protect the people he loves. Not to mention you can always count on him to make you laugh! But beware, it might take a little time for him to make the first move — after all, he didn’t even ask Hermione to the Yule Ball! To find your real-life Ron, look past the most popular guy in school and check out his loyal best friend! Yeah, that guy who was with the class hottie through thick and thin — and even before he was hot! A guy that loyal will be the perfect match for you!

Thoughts: I am fairly certain I’ve filled this quiz out before, but I can’t remember what I got that time. So… yeah. Ron. Cute and loyal… I could see that. I could handle this. And, hey, who doesn’t want to be a Weasley? 🙂

Top Ten: Things I Liked About the 2nd Hobbit Movie

the-hobbit-desolation-of-smaug-movie-posterI spent last week ranting about what didn’t work for me in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. And while it is still probably my least favorite of all the movies in this current franchise, there was definitely things I loved about it. So to balance out my rantings from last week, here are some of the things I loved.

Top Ten: Things I Disliked About the 2nd Hobbit Movie

the-hobbit-desolation-of-smaug-movie-poster As a Lord of the Rings fangirl, I loved The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. But it is my least favorite of all the movies. The first Hobbit movie was so much better in my eyes, even though it gives my friends fits when I say so. I saw the movie twice in theaters and still didn’t feel like I could write a proper review. I felt so let down during the movie. It’s full of great moments I loved (see next week’s list), but my overall feeling each time I walked out of theaters was disappointment. So I waited until I could watch it again at home before writing up a list.

License Plate: AZKBAN

Make sure you have plenty of chocolate when you get into this car!

AZKBAN

Full disclosure: this belongs to one of the members of my local Harry Potter meetup group 🙂 I thought this was appropriate to post for my July license plate post (happy early birthday to Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter, and J.K. Rowling).

Top Ten: T-Shirts (Part 1)

These are fandom shirts I have purchased from Shirt Woot. I don’t buy a lot from there lately (TeeFury gets most of my business lately, because they email me with their t-shirts daily), but I do have some from this company by various artists. I suspect I will do other posts of this sort in the future. I’ve got a shirt-buying problem. LOL

Quiz: Which Marvel Movie Villain Are You?

Quiz: Which Marvel Movie Villain Are you?

Answer:
MarvelBaddie

Thoughts: Well, this I did not expect! I don’t quite seem my resemblance, to be honest. I do like a good plan, sure. And I certainly can be moody and misunderstood. So all right. But I think the flaw in this quiz is my own; I don’t consider myself a villain at all, and I lack ambition. But, hey, I wouldn’t mind having Loki’s powers… or his brother for that matter…

Quiz: Which Batman Ally Are You?

Quiz: Which Batman Ally Are You?

Answer:
Batgirl

Thoughts: At first I didn’t see the resemblance and was ready to protest. But once I read the description, it’s actually not too bad of a fit. I rather like this result. I still think I’d make a better Alfred though 😉

Top Ten: Fandom Songs I Can’t Listen To in the Car

My friends IRL know that I’m a crier. I cry not just at sad movies but at their movie trailers before the sad movies are even out.

There are also some fandom songs I cannot listen to without at least tearing up. I learned the hard way that I had to uncheck these songs in iTunes at work (I’ve had coworkers walk in on me as I was bawling) and I cannot listen to them while driving (twice I’ve had to pull over to the side of the road because I was crying too hard to drive/see). But these are also songs I love so very dearly. In fact, it was easy to come up with this list in just a few minutes because some of these are among my favorite fandom songs ever written. I just… can’t listen to them while driving.

Note: There’s a MoM song that belongs on this list, but given the recent… yeah… I’m choosing to leave that song off. That’s all right. There are enough Snidget songs to make up the difference 😉

Additional Note/Warning: Massive spoilers for Harry Potter, Supernatural through season 7, His Dark Materials series, Torchwood Children of Earth, and the first Hunger Games novel/movie
