Nephylim

I think that the only reason he was considered evil because of the parcelmouth was because of the association with Voldemort. In the very first book Harry speaks to a snake in the zoo and sets it free... that snake was pretty cool. The basilisk isn't technically a snake... in fact in some legends it looks something like a chicken and one of its 'common' names is cockatrice. He is kind of snakelike in Harry Potter world though. I don't think that a spell to call a snake would be dark magic. It would be only natural for a Slytherin to call a snake because it is associated with his house anyway. As far as the three unforgivable curses.... well they are unforgivable for the same reason as anything else in this world is unforgivable.... because those in power say they are. When I take Voldemorts place as head of the Death Eaters and grind those namby pamby softies into the dirt they will, of course cease to be unforgivable. I might have to outlaw Alohamora though... my secrets stay secret and my doors stay closed. Oh and I think that Sectum Sempra is WORSE that Avada Kadava... same result but so much messier.... I think I would tend to use this one as preference... have a thing about blood in case you haven't noticed

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

That spider is totally awsome. I am currently saving up to get my first.... and I keep spending the money on the kids... one of these days I know what I'm getting... a seven pointed star surmounted by Enochian script on my left wrist. I have been scared of pain for most of my life but have been forcefully pushed out of that mind set. I am seeing my tattoo not as decorating my body but as a statement and a sacrifice and therefore the pain being part of the sacrifice is now desirable rather than a turn off

That is disturbing... in the best possible way... well done... HEHEHEHEHE.

Absolutely :) If you start trying to force yourself into doing something that isn't natural for you then it is never going to work. Isn't the bottom line about writing enjoying yourself and having fun?

I switch projects all the time. I am obsessed by writing and never go a day without doing something. I have at least 10 stories part written at all times I get an idea and go with it until I get another one. I never close a story and always come back to it in the end. It depends entirely on my muse becuase it is he who tells the stories I just write them down.

An excellent example

Nice to meet you both

Vote..I hope. Got a little confused but that is nothing unusual for me

Love is love. If you love someone you love them and not what gender they are. Some people only ever buy vanilla some only every buy tuttu frutti and some like a mix or a change. My advice to my children and to myself has always been... if love comes knocking at the door let it in no matter what label might be attached.

Absolutely fantastic. Fresh air and sunshine is really good medicine. May he have much more of it in the coming days.

You said that just to show off about your phone didn't you :)

There is nowhere I would not be prepared to go to protect my family. How far I would go for revenge... that depends. If I thought they were going to be unpunished or hurt someone else then yes, I would go all the way. i don't have to pay anyone I have my own means. But I know that what I did would inevitably rebound on me so I would have to think it through carefully and I suppose I would react through justice and not revenge. Let's hope it never comes to that again

You better hope they dont read this then

I am a complete hypocrite. I never try to hide it or run from it... it is who and what I am. But, as you say I have mixed feelings about revenge and ultimately it doesn't make me feel good. A very good friend has been hammering it home to me recently that revenge tends to take something from you and it descends you to the level of those who wronged you. It is still so very tempting though

Revenge is a dish best served cold. However, unfortunately I am impulsive and hot headed so what I deal with is usually retribution and usually rebounds on me. I don't have the patience to be subtle but I absolutely extol the benefits of it. Being a family lawyer I see a lot of things and I give people a little push now and again and I make things easy or hard on people depending on what I feel they deserve. That doesn't really count as revence though because I am not doing it for me. I tend to get angry very quickly and calm down very quickly so I hit out in anger and then regret. I have never done so excessively... well, only once. The only person I have ever gone out seeking revenge on... the bastard to raped and abused me for 7 years. He's dead now. Nothing to do with me... of course.

Good Luck with the Show!!!!! We are expecting photos

Enemies are always bad news. Can't do anything about them but can send some protective energy heading your way. If you feel threatened just call up a blue veil between yourself and whatever is threatening you. Call it a spell, call it a psychological boost... call it a pink elephant if you like but I find it works for me. And it is a lot less dangerous than wasp nests and exploding petrol cans.

Sorry, but these are real turn offs for me. Everything seems very glib. Life is NOT about fluffy clouds and sweet words. It is not about someone you have never met telling you how special you are and that they love you. Life is about recognising the darkness, accepting it and encompassing it. It's not about glossing over the badness and the difficulties, it is about recognising them, accepting them and finding a way around them. I think all this self realisation stuff is dangerous. People focus on themselves and self analyse far too much. Things happen just because they do. You find happiness wherever you can without analysing it and deconstructing it. Everyone is beautiful, everyone is strong, everyone had the potential to be happy. Stop beating yourself up, stop being critical of yourself because you are failing to achieve... whatever you think you ought to be achieveing. Give yourself permission to be unhappy. Give yourself permission to 'feel'. Anger, hurt, pain, defensiveness, self pity, hopelessness.... they are valid emotions. They should not be suppressed, they should not be beaten down and, Gods forbid, they should not be felt guilty about. Nothing is ever all good. Learn to love the darkness. My own journey towards happiness has been a journey through hell and I may not have enjoyed every moment of it I have certainly valued the lessons I have learned throughout. Rant over. You might be able to tell that I feel rather strongly about this.... everything else in our lives has been sanitised and I really hate it when emotions go the same way.

And I agree
