Even Norway has the batshit, it seems

Norwegian film maker suggests JK Rowling Conspiracy

"I think the secret behind JK Rowling is guarded more strongly than the entrance to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory," Grünfeld wrote. The truth, she believes, won't emerge until "the market for Harry Potter is saturated, until the actress behind JK Rowling gets tired of her role and not until the real authors behind the pseudonym feel an enormous need for recognition."

Excuse me while I guaff not-so-quietly. Guaffguaffguaff. Oh, Norway. You just had to add to the batshit of HP fandom, didn't you?

kittkatbar77 tagged me, it seems.
Ground rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself" and the people who get tagged need to then write a LJ entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people who you want to tag.

1. I refuse to wear socks, even in winter. In other words, one gets to see my naked feet a lot if living with me.
2. I can't sit normally in a chair. I either stick one foot under my ass, sit "Indian" style, or in a pinch, one leg cross over the other.
3. I like to suck peanuts.
4. I always peek at the last page of a book to see what the last word is.
5. I talk to my television.

I tag, picked at random: idreamedmusic, lotus79, unendingreverie, armeniel & pulsarkat

*replies* Love on me!

Replying! ^_^

Oh my god, THE SQUIRRELS ARE ATTACKING!

How much do you want to wager that this has something to do with Evol!Evolution resulting from radioactive contamination of the local ecosystem?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That we're so different in outlooks and opinions and still manage to get swimmingly along. Also, you're nice. Genuinely.

I am the same way with #2 and #5. My SO thinks I'm weird when I start yelling at the news on TV. Hence, I don't watch the news much.

When I was young, I could not do work in class/eat without standing up. I'm much better now, but I still fidget and change positions ever so often. (I am sitting with one leg underneath my bum right now, actually)

Replies for the love!

You're not afraid to bitch when you need to.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Should we start being afraid of squirrel ambushes?

Hee, icon-love.

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

Was I reeeeeally tagged "at random," or is this some sort of plot designed to get me to reveal some of my weaknesses? *shifty eyes*

(Er, that would be the best "reply for the sake of a reply" I could come up with.)

[distaff-exile.livejournal.com]

:) Darn right. *hugs*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh, me too.

You know where your towel is and you read in the bathroom.

[jocelyncs.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, isn't it a great day to be a Harry Potter fan? There's always some new, fresh, utterly-incomprehensible, no-connection-whatsoever-to-rational-human-thinking, batshit behavior to laugh at. An endless source of entertainment.

Come on, if some Corporate Conspiracy had penned those books, they wouldn't be nearly as good. Much of the humor is way too subtle for anyone but a serious writer.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You're a smart, sensible weathergal ;)

I hit you at random at least, I can't speak for fate. :P

[the-grokster.livejournal.com]

Ditto on the sitting weirdly thing. And I go a step further, I don't just talk to the television, I yell at the radio as well. If so many people do it, is it still weird?

[honorh.livejournal.com]

I was wondering when that little piece of insanity would make its way into your journal. Good to see that not *all* of the Crazy resides in the U.S. Incidentally--"guaff"? Is that, like, Norwegian for guffaw?

[stycaptain.livejournal.com]

Dear German Film-Maker:

You are being very, very, very, very, very stupid indeed.

Signed,
stycaptain.

Why, precisely, do you refuse to wear socks? I mean, the others make some sort of sense, but is there any actual reason?

[avendya.livejournal.com]

In want need of ego boost.

[adoraheatherly.livejournal.com]

Me? :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Also an endless source of headdesk'ing and too much of that is hazardous to your health. Or so I've heard.

Not to mention there sure as heck would be more of them, milking it for all it's worth.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Maybe :P

Oh, I was aware of it a bit earlier (posted it to GAFF and all), I was just a bit too Dalek loving yesterday to do a bit on it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Except she was Norwegian, not German.

I hate the feel of wearing them.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Cleverly snarky. Also, you care about your writing, which is more than I can say for a lot of people.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

We can have conversations on just about anything, you're nice enough to spring LJ layouts on people, you're creative and skilled and you kick ass, quite simply.

[erhothwen.livejournal.com]

Yes, there is already a lot of batshit involved with the fandom, we do not need anymore. *patpats Harry*

[aj.livejournal.com]

*reads the post and pokes out of curiousity as there's not been much cross chatting and is vaguely interested*

No fair saying 'locquatious!' No fair!

(And I've not attacked you with glee for the Phoenix drabble you wrote me forever ago. *attacks*)
