    hardwork vs. natural ability

    I think the question's more... why is it that when someone gets a good mark and say they didn't study, it's instantly assumed that they're lying? I dunno, people study in different ways and so it's a sort of combination of both natural ability and 'hard work'. There was a girl (well a few...

    Module A - Creative Writing

    That is so hilarious! Seriuosly, I think it's great. Heheh. But then, I have a really weird sense of humour. Er, I don't think I incorporated the quote really well. I did a story I had written earlier in the year (actually, term four last year) and sort of slipped it in. Hmm. The story...

    reflection statement

    If you're doing critical then you have to footnote, not only to avoid being accused of plagiarism, but also because it adds credibility to your work. I don't know about in Reflection Statements, but generally, if you're going to directly quote someone you have to footnote it accordingly. Also...

    reflection statement

    If it makes anyone feel better or more calm at this late stage: I'm only just writing my Reflection Statement now. "First draft." Heh.

    Hello. Sirius/Werewolf-Remus or Remus/Padfoot. It's all there. :p As for all the theories: You guys are a crack up. Although, belonging to the HP fandom does mean I read this stuff everyday. Personally I think it's metaphorical. That, and the title says "Half Blood" as two separate...

    Same. Except applied to Revenge Tragedy.

    O_o I haven't even finished one yet. And it's really small. I hate keeping logs. Er. Shit.

    How many words?

    My situation's a lot like yours. Except it's 5 assesments first week back, same everything else besides the fact that I haven't done the reflection statement yet. *grimaces* I'm thinking, the best thing right now would be to drop Ext. 2, but I'm so damned stubborn. Am so screwed. Heh.

    Ooh, you think Dumbledore's an Animagus then? I've heard that theory before, but I never really put much stock into it. I like the idea of all the portraits in his office (as well as his own self on the chocolate frog cards) telling him what's going on and not. Animagus is an interesting...

    decent read?

    Did you try? I don't know... I read the first one when I was 11. Ages before it was famous, and I loved it... I definitely recommend it. There aren't many people that have read it and hate it. Unless they've got religious issues with it.

    decent read?

    Yeah, it's by Chuck Palahniuk. It's actually pretty good; I really liked it. I've been meaning to read his other books, especially Lullaby but I haven't got around to it.

    :eek: It's not all porn at all! Lol. There's millions of fics out there, a couple of which I've written myself, and not all of it is even remotely close to porn. One Harry/Draco fic doesn't account for much when there's probably, at the very least, thousands of H/D fics out there. I can...

    Harry Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban UPDATE

    I won't be able to watch the movie until Saturday as well! Plus, I've got two speeches due on Monday and Tuesday, but screw that, I have to go watch the movie. As for Daniel: Must you?! I've not resigned myself to going to hell over him just yet... or maybe. Ack. That hair...

    What are you doing ur PIP on?

    ...I keep coming across you. Either ways, for real? What about the Sex Pistols? - I'm doing mine on slash, which is a subculture of fanfiction (which is a subculture in itself), and the concept of rewriting masculinity, etc. If you don't know what slash is, then you're probably going to...

    Prachett esp. Discworld

    I love the Discworld novels. :D Erm, nothing really to discuss. Guess I'll go for the easiest: favourite book has to be Thief of Time and favourite character - besides Death because he's everyone's favourite character - would have to be Susan or Ook.

    Whats a good book to read for a beginner?

    I'd recommend to you The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. But it depends... that's sci-fi-ish (though nothing like Arthur C. Clarke - more like a sci-fi Terry Pratchett). Perhaps you could try Animal Farm. That's a good one as well. Very short too.

    Brave new World, Would you live in it?

    Ah, but the thing with that is, is that it's only the Alpha plus that get this "opportunity". What about the people that are Deltas or Gammas? That's what the real question is. Many people say that they would like to live in BNW, but only consider living there from the perspective of an...

    Significant in what way? Significant enough to be Harry's girlfriend? Well, I doubt many people thought that Quirrell was very significant until the end of the first book. Or indeed, Ron's rat Scabbers was a very significant character yet he's now been shown to be a pivotal character in the...

    I have a horrible feeling that JKR's going to put in Harry/Luna. *shudders* She does go for the unexpected, no? *sighs*
