Tonight we had #housewars on Twitter and it was one of the most hilarious things EVER.

Here’s the short Tweetsplanation I sent Julia:

@juliapwns a tweet convo between @omgitsjace @sallyslytherin and @slytherykin (and some thrown in by me, @jesuischele and @slythphoenix ) 14 minutes ago from web

@juliapwns …turned into a discussion on which houses were best, we decided Ravenclaw and Slytherin would be an unbeatable team and started 14 minutes ago from web

@juliapwns talking about how we’d win. @sallyslytherin started the #housewars tag and a bunch of us declared allegiance. That’s about it XD 13 minutes ago from web

@juliapwns Just a bunch of smacktalk and far too many Slytherins and Ravenclaws (20+) against like 5 Gryffs/Puffs. Does that help? 13 minutes ago from web

So there was some smacktalk, like this:

sallyslytherin: Slytherin haiku: We are the best/This school is for Salazar/You all can suck itabout 4 hours ago from TweetDeck

Then we realised we could work together and win:

slytherykin : @OMFGItsJace @sallyslytherin I still think we should unite and finally deal with those Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. We’re the clever houses!about 4 hours ago from web

sallyslytherin: @OMFGItsJace Ravenclaws can plan the fight, Slytherins can fight it. Wow, it’s a perfect marriage of houses!about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to OMFGItsJace

So started, officially, with this:

sallyslytherin: Why isn’t there a game called Hogwarts House Wars? I’m starting it. Trending topic #housewarsabout 4 hours ago from TweetDeck

THEN:

sallyslytherin: If anyone wants to start the Gryffindor/Hufflepuff Alliance, be my guest. Just know that you will be crushed #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from TweetDeck

And finally:

OMFGItsJace : @glasgirl hahaha. Slytherin/Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor/Hufflepuff shall commence. #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from web in reply to glasgirl

And we were on XDDD

So the Slytherins and Ravenclaws started smacktalking the Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors:

slytherykin : @slythphoenix I tend to just respond with yelling stuff about hitting Hufflepuffs with wooden spoons? THEY LOOK LIKE BEES.about 3 hours ago from web in reply to slythphoenix

slytherykin: Let’s face it, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are gonna run in without a plan, trip each other up, and then get hexed like woah. #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from web

and poor Shannon was mostly on her own to hold up the other side:

gryffindorgal87 : @LoonyShoshan @glasgirl @sallyslytherin It is my duty to my house to say Gryffindor pwns all. We had Mama Weasley.

gryffindorgal87 : @glasgirl @sallyslytherin Slytherclaw: If you can’t mystify them with your inteligence, mystify them with your bullshit. ;-)about 4 hours ago from txt

and then Sylvie didn’t know WHAT the heck she was doing:

hufflepuff4ever: @glasgirl @omfgitsjace @sallyslytherin Any room for an amazing Hufflepuff in this war?about 4 hours ago from mobile web

huffepuff4ever: I AM PART OF THE SLYTHERIN/RAVENCLAW ALLIANCE BECAUSE I’M COOL. #housewarsabout 4 hours ago from mobile web

hufflepuff4ever: MGNOOOOOO I’M GOING WITH THE GRYFFIE/PUFF ALLIANCE NOWWWW KTHXBAIabout 4 hours ago from mobile web

hufflepuff4ever: WHAT ABOUT HOUSE OF AWESOME????!!!!!about 4 hours ago from mobile web

hufflepuff4ever: HOUSE OF AWESOME WILL PWN ALL THE HOUSES EXCEPT HUFFLEPUFF.about 4 hours ago from mobile web

and then she gave up:

hufflepuff4ever: *backs out of war* Peace, pleasekthanks?about 3 hours ago from mobile web

and the Slytherclaws were victorious:

OMFGItsJace: Seriously, the #housewars are pretty much over, haha. Gryffindor/hufflepuffail ;)about 3 hours ago from web

And thennnn Alex couldn’t let it lie:

theremuslupins: #housewars sorry, i was recording, did i miss the war? i do love a good war..about 3 hours ago from web

theremuslupins: #housewars Well, you cant just HAVE a war. jeez.about 2 hours ago from web

theremuslupins: Always spoiling for a fight, as long as its on your terms, arent you Crion? Bring it . #Housewarsabout 2 hours ago from web

And we started all over again! But by this time, @slytherykin, @slythphoenix and some other people had gone to bed, and @sallyslytherin had gone to work. And we were worried we might LOSE.

And there were a LOT of Gryffinpuffs turned up: like @pipsipirate who couldn’t smacktalk very well, because she’s too awesome:

pipsipirate: @glasgirl Iz a Hufflepuff. i don’t do smacktalk well. #housewars slytherins are smelly?about 1 hour ago from web in reply to glasgirl

and a bunch of random people who Tweeted the “#housewars” tag. And then we were sad. But then @WizardRockDA and @nikkeekristen helped rally the troops, and @obockstal defected to our side, and @sallyslytherin came back, and other people signed up, and OVERALL WE WIN.

And then there was a Facebook group for the survivors: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=79497188633

Because we declared it should be so:

deepwonderment: @GryffindorGal87 someone should make a facebook group for the surving #housewars thing. 33 minutes ago from DestroyTwitter

glasgirl: I vote yes for FB group and the tagline “We who were there will never forget”, shamelessly cribbed from @riddletm “For Jo” XDDD #housewars 24 minutes ago from web

sallyslytherin: @glasgirl I will make it right now! #housewars 24 minutes ago from TweetDeck

And then all the little boys and girls went to bed, except for this one who has to stay up and finish stupid projects - but without which I wouldn’t have been up so late anyway, so maybe it was worth it

I’ll leave you with some of my personal favourite Tweets from the #housewars now:

glasgirl: @slythphoenix Um, yeah XD I’m not sure there is such a thing as a merciful bee. But if they sting you THEY DIE. Just like ‘puffs! #housewarsabout 4 hours ago from web

slytherykin: The only problem is that Granger girl but I am pretty sure she we can take her out by kidnapping Ron or something #housewarsabout 18 hours ago from web

glasgirl: @jesuischele Hahaha yes. We’ll keep our side’s morale up with ambiguous comments and gratuitous nudity, whut?

sallyslytherin: @glasgirl Gratuitous nudity?? I LOVE THIS WAR! SO MUCH! #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to glasgirl

jesuischele: @glasgirl LOL, doesn’t matters if we’re distracted, we’re winning, but just in case *Puts on a Slytherclaw cheerleader outfit* Go us go! about 3 hours ago from twhirl in reply to glasgirl

glasgirl: @omfgitsjace @gryffindorgal87 You’re right, we’re done. So I’ll just take @jesuischele and her cheerleader outfit into this corner here…about 3 hours ago from web

And why have I chosen to compile this little history?
1) because half the time most of the people didn’t have a clue what the heck was going on XD and
2) gryffindorgal87: @glasgirl I dub thee the offical #housewars historian. Lol!about 2 hours ago from txt

So there you go. History has been made!!

Now go join the Facebook group and pick your side!!!

I’ve been really neglecting this blog, first of all because I had too much to do for my dissertation proposal, and then because - horror of horrors - Livejournal has gone and got me addicted to another new fandom. Bandom. And it’s worse XD

First, it was Harry Potter. I found Livejournal after FF.net, and it wasn’t a big deal. Then while reading HP fic about a year or so ago, I stumbled upon a community called “Ship Manifesto” where people write a ‘manifesto’ all about how their favourite pairing in a specific fandom is really canon. With examples, and screenshots, and it’s AWESOME. So I read a few…some HP ones, a Degrassi one, and more that I can’t remember. Then I found a High School Musical one, and there were fanfics recommended and I got ADDICTED. Like, full-on addicted. I’ve got posters and postcards up in my room and they’re split more or less evenly between HP and HSM XD

And last week, it happened again (although there was a false start). I was on Livejournal (Livejournal is going to be the DEATH of me) and I checked my favourite HSM fic community, and there was a link to this other community, and I clicked it and ended up reading a bunch of RPS - Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. The stories were movies rewritten - like, Notting Hill, where Jensen’s the big star and Jared owns a pet store. And two Miss Congeniality rewrites that were simply hilarious. So I read that for a couple days and all was good. Then I went back on to the HSM community and that’s when it happened. There was a link to this other community, and I clicked it, and I’ve been reading it, and it’s RPS and it’s slightly worse because it’s not rewritings of movies, it’s just stories about them XD and it’s a billion times worse because while I can explain away my High School Musical obsession - hello, I’m a girl, I’m allowed to like girly musicals and funny Disney movies - this takes it into preteen, first-crush, almost-stalker territory. Because it’s the Jonas Brothers.

Yes. I have developed an addiction to Jonas Brothers fanfiction. It’s horrific because I absolutely adore it, have memorized the pairing names, have favourite pairings and authors already, and have like 24 of the stories saved on my iPod so I can read them at will.

I know that given my addictive personality I’m probably lucky that all my obsessions at the moment are so harmless, but you know this one is going to involve buying posters and memorabilia, and don’t I already have enough to buy, given that I’ve been eyeing up a Whirlwood wand, robes, a Ravenclaw tie…I do have HSM stuff that people sent me for Christmas/birthday though. Including, randomly, a pair of Troyella socks. XD

Anyway. I’m probably going to write a whole ship list on my LJ now and encourage my f-list to do the same, and that’s kind of awesome and lame at the same time. But I thought you should have an explanation…and a heads-up. Because you know, when I get obsessed, I really get OBSESSED. And that always requires a warning XD

Even though I decided against doing BEDA, I still feel guilty for not having blogged today! (Yes, I still count this as Wednesday, since I haven’t been to sleep yet. I’m aware that it’s technically Thursday but whatever, I didn’t get up til 3pm. My sleep schedule is so whacked out right now).

So I love The Big Bang Theory, I have the DVDs of season one and the whole lot on my iPod. But when it comes to season two, I have to admit I’m woefully lacking. I watched episodes 1 and 2 because they were in a double bill, MONTHS ago, and even only then because my friend Neil reminded me they were coming on. But since then, nothing. I got obsessed with Dollhouse for a while, I watched religiously every Sunday for the first few weeks, since it only aired on Fridays and I had to give people a chance to get it online. And I’ve seen all the How I Met Your Mother episodes up until s4e15/16, so I don’t feel too badly about that. The Naked Man was my favourite season 4 one. But The Big Bang Theory, I have been sadly neglecting.

I decided to rewatch episode one tonight and go from there, so that’s what I did. Here’s what I remembered: There are a spectacular number of awesome quotes in BBT episodes. Being a geek, I wrote them down. Here they are XD:

Penny: Sheldon, may I ask you a question?
Sheldon: I would prefer that you not, but I won’t go so far as to forbid it.
Penny: …All right, I heard ‘yes’…

Sheldon: You thought the opposite of ’stupid loser’ was ‘community college graduate’?

Sheldon: When I try to deceive, I myself have more nervous tics than a Lyme Disease research facility!

Sheldon: I couldn’t become Green Lantern unless I was chosen by the guardians of Oa, but given enough startup capital and adequate research facilities I could be Batman.
Leonard: YOU could be Batman?
Sheldon: Sure. I’M BATMAN! See?

Leonard: Oh God, I AM the bad fish!!

Sheldon: This mind does not forget! **side note - anyone having a HIMYM flashback to The Pineapple Incident here? Because as soon as he said that, I LOLed, thinking of Ted. ‘This is a super brain! Mere alcohol cannot stop this brain!’ XDDD**

Wolowitz: That’s kind of an overreaction to a little harmless necrophilia.

Leonard: That was fast.
Sheldon: My pre-packed disaster evacuation bag. Recommended by the Department of Homeland Security. (beat)…And Sarah Connor.

Sorry this post was so unoriginal. I’m also breaking my rule, created a WHOLE THREE DAYS AGO, about not posting fandom-type stuff - other than journal-type accounts of fandom meetups and stuff - on this blog. I’m saving that stuff for my fandom Livejournal. Well, it’s not *totally* unrelated as I’m going to post a question here. So in future I’ll keep the UNRELATED quotes for LJ. How does that sound?…I’m essentially talking to myself here because nobody has commented since the first entry anyway (although a few people did say they liked my new theme, when I asked It IS pretty).

The Question: If you were going to pack a disaster evacuation bag, what would you put in it?

My answer: You know what’s sad? I’d be tempted to buy another external hard drive, back all my crap up AGAIN, and then put it in the bag every night after backing everything up. Because if there was a disaster, either I’d be taking my hard drives with me, or I wouldn’t be leaving! (Wow, that sounds really melodramatic and unbearably geeky. Go me.) Other than that, the usual crap like clothes…warm socks…notepad and a few pens to record the disaster (the internal journalist is hard to keep down, it turns out, once trained)…my video camera, for the same reason…Money, obviously…some non-spoiling food like cereal bars…and like, stuff from my friends that has sentimental value.

…Ok, it would be a very BIG bag.

It is no secret that I’m a bit of a loser.

Oh come on, don’t go feigning surprise or anything. Most nights all I do is go online, the only time I ever go out anywhere is to the rare Harry Potter meetups/wizard rock shows (this is not anything to do with putting down HP fans, naturally, I <3 you guys), and I'm currently not only in my third year of a BA degree in Journalism and Sociology, but I am currently (all right, not right this second, but lately and for the next week and a half) working on a dissertation proposal for next year which would see me interview Harry Potter fans in an attempt to explore the social connections and benefits we get from being in the fandom community.

Today though, I believe two separate Twitter monologues can display my loser-ness far easier (and faster) than I can ever explain.

Glasgirl: Facebook says my account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance, oh God, this is a nightmare!!! Thank the internet for Twitter!!
…
Glasgirl: OMFG YAY, Facebook has stopped PMSing and let me log in. It’s really pathetic how happy I am about this, isn’t it? D:

***************Some Time Later***************
Glasgirl: Is on www.envelope.co.uk having a total stationerygasm. Who surfs the web at 2am not for porn but for PADDED ENVELOPES?!?! *dies*
…
Glasgirl: Someone want to talk me out of buying six coloured envelopes (3 yellow, 2 metallic silver, one padded red) and a blue ‘hamper box’? D:
Glasgirl: I should point out even with P&P (and it’s funny to think of paying packaging for envelopes XD) it’s still only £3.85…
…
Glasgirl: …I need a hobby.

PS. I didn’t buy them.
