Oh man, I'm bummed that this post is a few days old, because no one is going to see this now! But I am compelled to overshare anyway. I attended the same university that Emma Watson also (briefly!) attended, and I always had the vague hope that I would see her from afar. (I'm from New York...if you dare even ironically approach a celebrity, your NY driver's license is revoked.)
So anyway, one day...when I was working at the university's writing center, Emma Watson came in for an appointment! The coordinator saw my wide, starstruck eyes and huge grin, immediately marked me as a big Harry Potter fan, and promptly assigned Emma to work with someone else. But still! She sat right behind me. She is impossibly tiny and gorgeous in person and we breathed the same air for like 25 minutes.
I'll...see myself out.
Based off of the MTV faux-boy band (to turn real-ish boy band) 2gether, a bunch of my friends and I filmed our own all-girl version of the movie. I've forgotten the name of our band, but I do remember that my role was V, the band's alcoholic manager who only wore leopard print. We were, like, 12 years old at the time.
To make your story even creepier: crows can remember people's faces, particularly people who they've deemed threatening. According to Discovery, "a single crow's bad experience with a particular human can spread information about this individual throughout entire crow communities."
So for your sake, I hope you either never clapped at them, or that you now live in an area bereft of crows!
Can we talk about the board game?? I feel that House Greyjoy has an unfair advantage in starting on the Iron Islands. But then again, who wants to be the Greyjoys? So maybe it balances out.
In my experience, it's WAY harder to write well about things that are good and enjoyable, and usually not half as fun to read. But thank you, Gabe, for providing a space to discuss GoT. It's just so great! Love Tyrion, love Brienne, love Sansa, love Varys. Love everyone.
I do find myself a bit annoyed with Dany's constant pronouncements of raining down fire and brimstone (literally) on anyone who slights her. Bitch, your khalasar consists of babies and old people and your dragons are the size of housecats. Maybe cool down on the threats until you can back 'em up? I'm actually a bit of a Dany stan, from reading the books, and I don't like feeling this way!
