also, I can still recite all the dialogue in the Shrieking Shack sequence
LJ still isn't working for me. LJ, I am so glad I have basically quit you.
In my Harry Potter reread, I am most of the way through Prisoner of Azkaban! I am procrastinating by posting because I'm at the beginning of The Dementor's Kiss, and -- yeah, deep down inside, I am fairly sure that it will never stop being Sirius Black Feelings O'Clock. (Sirius still holds the dubious honor of being the only fictional character whose death made me sob uncontrollably for ten minutes straight.) Another of the ways in which I am procrastinating is by repeatedly going to a page that has you list the top 200 names in Harry Potter in eighteen minutes; it takes me about eight to get to roundabouts 100 names, and then I can coax out another 10 to 20, and then I sit there stumped. I am quite good at most of the students, teachers, Order members, and Death Eaters, but I always forget ghosts and creatures and Founders and backstory folk. I have a stupid goal to get at least 150, but really I should probably just do better things with my life.
I also, help, am doing my reread in that way where I can hear my brain taking fic notes. It is almost exactly ten years since I got into online fandom and fic writing via Harry Potter, though, so instead of resisting I will allow myself whatever revival period I apparently need. Yes, brain, you can write Marauders-era Lily/James/Remus/Sirius, and post-war Harry/Ron/Hermione, and some Ginny fic, and post-war Harry/Draco, and maybe an AU where Sirius gets a happy ending and BLACKS, BLACKS EVERYWHERE, and -- no, help, I feel fifteen again, except this time instead of having a niche I want EVERYTHING.
Never mind, I'm off to have lunch and brave some dementors.

That game is SO TERRIBLE! I keep going back! It is addictive and awful and taunts me! So, um, I am so sorry that I have done it to you as well.

Yeah, I don't even know, I've stopped even trying to be rational or sensible about my too many feelings about Sirius Black thing.

YES. I'm at the beginning of GoF now, and starting to get deeply nervous because OotP is looming. On the one hand, I am so excited to reread all the House of Black backstory and have a book with LOTS OF SIRIUS. On the other, I vividly remember falling deeply ridiculously in love with Sirius, and then being genuinely unable to cope for about a month after he died.
I don't think there has ever been a time I have been rational or sensible about my too many feelings for Sirius Black.

See, I had a period of crisis where I wondered, "Oh god, am I like the especially delusional Snapewives only with Sirius?!" And then I got over it, because no, I had no intention of marrying Sirius on the astral plane. But I still can't cope with Sirius being dead, it's like denial-land in my head where Sirius is alive and happy.
And ahhh, House of Black backstory! I really should get over myself and reread OotP because I really do adore all of the House of Black backstory. I'm absolutely fascinated by the choice Sirius (and Regulus and Andromeda) made to reject their family's ideals.
