I Have Two Guns, One For the Each of Ya.

I have two types of posts. One type I come up with an idea and make out a rough outline of the things I want to say and how I want to say them. I save the draft and let it sit until just the right time. Like wine they age, drawing in influences and nuances from the passing of time. sometimes they ferment for months before I pull them out and finish the process. I have maybe ten of these right now, and the oldest ones date to last March.

The other type is more or less impromptu. Something big may have happened to me that I just have to get down in words, or maybe I'll just get the urge to write and won't have anything officially prepared. This second category, that's this post right here.

I'm thinking of changing emails again. I have my very professional aarontbratcher@yahoo.com, but my main email is brokeneyesglaring@yahoo.com . This one has two strikes against it: apparently I was feeling very emo at the time of its creation and it's embarrassing to give it as an answer to "what's your email?" (It's because I wear glasses, get it? broken eyes glaring. Apparently I'm mad about my myopia). Also, I've done something wrong on the internet somewhere and now I get a ridiculous amount of junk email. Tons. I'm thinking of fully embracing "Bratcher Lev" and go with bratcherlev@yahoo.com, but I'm going to have to sleep on it.

I've been working on the Harry Potter books for about 3 or 4 months now. I started them after seeing the first three movies, but after reading three books that were so similar to three movies I had already seen. . . I lost interest. I've finally passed the point I stopped last time around and am currently in the middle of Goblet of Fire. I'm tempted to say that I am halfway through it, but it's such a brick of a book that despite having read what seems to be the same amount of pages as the whole of the first book, I am only a third of the way through it.

I facebook. Yes. Since Facebook decided money was much more awesome than catering to only collegiates, they have opened a floodgate of third party applications that you can load onto your own page. Most of these are dreadful, and every time I pull up my own page I wade through a sea of applications for Superpokes and Top Friends Lists and Zombie Wars. One such application I did let in was the "sorting hat" application. Just as you could probably guess, you answer several questions, and someone somewhere wrote some code that interprets your answers as a guide to one Hogwarts house. I took the test and it wanted to stick me in Gryffindor. Honestly, I didn't want to be. Not that the house with the most stage time isn't fan tabby tabulous, I'm just not one of those types that immediately go for the main characters. I wasn't Cyclops when we played Xmen, I was Gambit. I was never Ryu when we played Street Fighter, I was Blanka. And I'm not Gryffindor.

So I cheated and put myself in Ravenclaw, the house with which I can honestly relate the most. My thought, though, was "at least I'm not in Hufflepuff."

In fact, I think I'd rather live in the real world where there are no Hogwarts Houses than live in Rowling's world and be in Hufflepuff.

your's is the first face that I saw, think I was blind before I met you
