| And it wasn't only a dream where I found it, it was actually a nighmare oh yes oh no |

I am officially a magnet for annoyingly loud talking people. Seriously. The last two days I have specifically sought out empty, quiet areas for reading my various articles for papers. Not TEN MINUTES into my reading do people show up. And not just ANY people. No, it has to be either a large group of loud people, or someone talking loudly on a phone. WHAT THE FUCK? What exactly goes through their minds as they sit as close to me as humanly possible without sharing a chair with me?
"Huh, this girl is sitting there by herself reading quietly. I am with a whole group of people who probably plan on talking a loud, possibly at a high volume. I think sitting next to her would be a good idea."
Or, alternately:
"I plan on making a phone call (or three) right away, and probably talking loudly on the phone just to make sure the other person (people) can hear me. Sitting next to someone who is very quiet and no doubt trying to concentrate on something they are reading is a really good idea."
I even tried to escape to this specific computer lab, which is ALWAYS half-empty and ALWAYS quiet. Not five minutes after sitting down, checking my email, and whipping out my next article to read does two very loud and obnoxious people come walking in the door, shout "PEOPLE!" really loudly and then continue to come in, chatting to each other about whateverthefuck and sitting down IN THE SAME ROW OF COMPUTER AS ME STILL TALKING. They are still talking right now. Kill me.
Even if I go to my room to read, someone will turn on their radio/iTunes and blast it rather loudly, or people will start yelling outside and I can't close my window because it's rather warm out. Or people in my suite will sit in the common room being loud. My last resort will be the library, though even there loud people can sometimes be found. I literally have to hunker down between stacks that NO ONE GOES INTO in order to get some quiet (this is usually stuff like the math and science sections).
Oh, also I had a dream last night where I was in the woods with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Ginny, and my sister. Neville got bitten on the leg by a Basilisk (I dunno why there was one about) and so I did that Snakes-On-A-Plane thing where you swish olive oil around in your mouth and then suck out venom. AGGH MY DREAM SELF GOT TO LICK DREAM NEVILLE'S LEG!!! Um, also I had to sew him up with a needle and thread, and put some neosporin on the wound... Also, my sister and I sang the neosporin song. There wasn't much else.
OHRIGHTYES, so I am on a couple sub-committees (Fundraising, Graphic Design, Decorations & Theme-ing, and Web Site Upkeep/Design) for the NYC WIZARD ROCK FESTIVAL. It will be taking place on Saturday September 20 at the Bohemian Beer Garden in Astoria. Draco and the Malfoys will be headlining, and we have some more confirmed bands, but I'm not really allowed to publish much else yet (though if you ask me about it directly, I can tell you). Anyway, it's going to run for about 6-8 hours with merchandise, games, shows, etc. Admission will probably be around $10 for the whole day. So everybody should come. EVERYBODY. I'll give you more info as I get it. EVERYBODY. COME.
