From my vague recollection of the Harry Potter universe, it seemed like the "snitch" was semi-sentient and flew around on its own. How does one recreate this phenomenon?

It's a guy that runs around in a golden outfit. He can run anywhere he wants to, and the seekers have to catch him.

Hey blago thread I need somebody to give me an answer I can already guess.

So! I have a crush on a girl who is pretty awesome. We get along really well and sometimes she smiles at me in this really awesome way and I just want to lay my head against her shoulder and give her the kisses. There are a few sad little things going on though. First of all, there is a small but noticeable age gap; I am seventeen and she is maybe twenty? It's only a slight physical difference, really, but there is plenty of social stigma there. People will obviously argue maturity differences, but these things are subjective and I honestly don't think it's a big deal here. Second of all, she's dating my friend. They've only been dating for a short time (maybe a couple of months), but that is hardly important since they are still dating and that is not cool. Third of all, and this is The Big Thing, she's moving to Colorado in December, presumably forever. I will probably never see her again after a few weeks. Now this is where my question comes in. A part of me wants to tell her how I feel, just to get it off of my chest. I know it would only complicate things and can think of all sorts of ways it can go wrong and I don't want to ruin a pleasant, albeit shortlived, friendship by making our last couple of weeks awkward, but I really just need to get it off of my chest. It's more than just one futile shot at a hopeless relationship for me, in a big way it represents how rarely I've actually opened up and told a woman how I feel about her. I feel, despite all reasoning, that it's something I should do.

Please submit to me your wordly wisdom, blaggers.

Addendum:

"Stick it in her pooper" is an optimistic but probably unreasonable goal here.

"I like you. Do you like me?

Blagh, I know. I don't actually want a romantic relationship with her, I just want to tell her that I have feelings for her. I know it can't end well, I am just trying to get past all of the neurotic pussy-footing that screwed me over so many times when I was young. Stupid penis, stupid heart, stupid brain, stupid meeeeee. Blergh. I probably won't say anything anyhow, because I just am not that bold. My heart was pounding just telling a couple of mutual friends about it today. WHY AM I SO FUCKING TIMID?

Alex C · « **Reply #3413 on:** 16 Nov 2009, 20:52 »

I have told a lady "Hey, I know you're dating, but I'm interested," before and I don't regret it. You know why? Because I KNEW I wanted a relationship and I KNEW we had a connection. They broke up, we dated, the other guy got over it and everything was pretty alright. But you, on the other hand, don't even seem like you're sure about the wanting a relationship part. Just dropping that information on her lap without any will to do anything about it would ultimately be selfish, awkward and pointless as opposed to being awkward and selfish but ultimately something that might make two people happier. So don't do it. Frankly, I don't even think you really should have mentioned this to mutual friends, because people are really bad at keeping their mouths shut.

Vendetagainst · « **Reply #3414 on:** 16 Nov 2009, 20:58 »

Yeah, I guess I should just keep my mouth shut, it is selfish and it's not worth the drama. As far as telling my friends, though, I think that was okay. I am counting on their discretion, I guess, but it was one of those contextual things and I am more-or-less confident that it won't end up biting me in the ass.
Thank you, everybody, for listening.

Now I get to type up my lab for chemistry, yay for procrastination!

Okay, so for the past several there has been a recurring theme around this place.

Now I live way out in the middle of nowhere. We have miles of cornfield and beyond that, forest. You will hear creatures that will not be identifiable, including what sounds like a frog, only massive, and something that screams like a woman in the middle of the night. Coyotes sound like laughing children and they freak me out, as well.

Now, we've been going through many different dogs because my dog keeps getting pregnant and we have to deal with puppies (well, my father's dog, but he won't get her fixed, motherfucker). Now, every single puppy (as well as the mother) has done this thing while chained up wherein they will look off into the cornfield and starting freaking the fuck out. Barking, yelping, growling, trying to rip the chain off and run away. Instead, they back into the corner made by the house and porch and try to disappear. I go out there, I see nothing, I hear nothing, but they are seeing something and flipping their fucking shit.

Is there a reason dogs do this? Because it freaks me out and my dog is flipping out downstairs right now.

Oh man oh man I should have never read children of the corn

Spluff · « **Reply #3419 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 03:42 »

Dogs have very sensitive hearing. The likely cause is that somewhere, at that very moment, somebody put on a Coldplay album.

The reason is that you are going to be the protagonist of a horror movie soon.

Or at least you hope you are. You could be the subject of the cold open that introduces that fact that there is something out there.

Even if she's super hot, plus they broke up after graduation, it'll be better for you to be a man.

Things that have happened: Anna and I are not a thing due to things. The play's opening night was a bit of a mess. The second night (tonight) was awesome. The ice rink is melting and my skates are soaked. I got three hours sleep on Monday night. On Tuesday I went to a supervision and realised that not only had I not read any of the cases, articles or chapters, I had also not read the handout and didn't know what I was meant to know about. I don't think my supervisor noticed; thank god for lecture notes.

Also I just managed to lock myself out of my room, and then nearly locked myself out with the spare key on the wrong side of the door to me. That would have been a fairly disasterous move.

Things that are going to happen: sleep. Then I'm going to Finland.

If you want to go to med school, you'd probably be better off keeping the anthropology degree and just taking the extra classes you'll need for the MCAT. You should definitely talk to someone about admission to med school before making any decisions.
