July 28, 2006 ~ Just in case people care to know for some strange reason, I changed my pen name from "truefairy lights" to "SparklingEyesWithACrazyMind" beacuse truefairy lights was starting to bug me. So, yeah.

First of all,I get extremely hyper some times, so if any of my future stories, or present, are entirely crazy, please don't blame me, blame the sugar that controlls my brain.

My favorite Harry books are, in order, ~ 3, 1, 4, 5,2, 6. I don't like the sixth because it's all about Riddle and the Horcruxes and it was starting to bug me, though bits of it were intriguing. Anyways, I'm also on moonlightdancers my friends and I made that name so that we could write joint stories and stuff for those who don't want to bother with their own accounts. To anyone who's interested, joint accounts are MUCH more fun. My favorite ship's JP/LE and the other Marauders as well, angst, humor, and romance are all good. I love writing Lily hate James, and James head over heels for Lily--c'est fun:).

Ok, so updateing my profile, I realized that in my old one, I sounded like I was five. Srry 'bout that.

I just decided, or rather, perhaps I realized. I want to be an actor. I'd thought about working for the UN, as an interpreter, and that's all fine and dandy, but I really love acting. Didn't realize that before. Not a movie actor, but a play actor. Preferably Shakespearian - gotta love that stuff (it's awesome) anyone who thinks it's lame, watch Much Ado About Nothing with Emma Thomson and Keneth Brangh (spelling?) just try it,ok? thanx. just thought I'd put that up there, even though Ally's prob. the only on that'll care (if she even ever reads this)

Please REVIEW any story you read that is mine, or for that matter, anybody elses. For those of who don't write anything, it REALLY keeps you going when you get reviews. Thanx. :)

This is a slightly random little story that I DID NOT MAKE UP. It's true, as you'll see, and I couldn't get the font any smaller (it's from an e-mail a friend sent me, and I really don't feel like re-typing it.)
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."

"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.

"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.

"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?

Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

Here's a SMART PEOPLE TEST!

A short quiz for smart people -

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether
you are qualified to be my friend. (Well not really) Read and think about
hte
question, then scroll down to see if your answer is right. The questions
are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the
question!

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close
the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an
overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the
refrigerator?

Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the
elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the
repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend.
except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You
just put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not
answer
the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show
your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do
not have a boat. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been
listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.
This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90 of the professionals
they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers
got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively
disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a
four-year-old.

neat huh?

EVER WONDER where we are headed...

Why the sun lightens our hair,

but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara

with their mouth closed?

Why you don't ever see the headline:

"Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why "abbreviated" is such a long word?

Why Doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why you have to click on "Start"

to stop Windows 98?

Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while
dishwashing liquid is
made with real lemons?

Why the man who invests all your money is called a "Broker"?

Why there isn't mouse flavored cat food?

Who tastes dog food when it has a

"new & improved" flavor?

Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?

Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for
the
indestructible black box?

Why sheep don't shrink when it rains?

Why they are called apartments when

they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro,

is Congress the opposite of progress?

Why they call the airport "the terminal"

if flying is so safe?

AND...

In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed
because of
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer
goods.

On a Myer hairdryer:

"Do not use while sleeping".

(Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Chips:

You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.

(The shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Palmolive soap:

"Directions: Use like regular soap".

(And that would be how?)

On some frozen dinners:

"Serving suggestion: Defrost".

(But, it's just a suggestion).

On Nanna's Tiramisu dessert

(printed on bottom):

"Do not turn upside down".

(Well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:

"Product will be hot after heating".

(And you thought?...)

On packaging for a K-Mart iron:

"Do not iron clothes on body".

(But wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:

"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this
medication".

(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents
if we could
just get those 5 year olds with head colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid:

"Warning: May cause drowsiness".

(And...I'm taking this because?)

On most brands of Christmas lights:

"For indoor or outdoor use only".

(As opposed to...what?)

On a Japanese food processor:

"Not to be used for the other use".

(Now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Nobby's peanuts:

"Warning: contains nuts".

(Talk about a news flash!)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:

"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts".

(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

I don't blame the company, I blame the parents for this one:

On a child's superman costume:

"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly".

On a Swedish chainsaw:

"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals".

(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
