"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." - James Nicoll

OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER:

I disclaim any ownership to the Harry Potter literary series, Warner Brothers, or any other fringe merchandise. I do not know JK Rowling, am not affiliated with Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell, David Yates, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Gary Oldman, David Thewlis, or any other actor, director, or producer involved with the Harry Potter franchise. I seek only to entertain, and while I weep openly at the idea that I cannot make money writing fanfiction, I acknowledge that it is a privilege afforded to me by the generosity of JK Rowling and I do not seek to undermine her or her work in any way.

I just intend to play with it for a little bit.

There. Officially Disclaimed. I can't afford the lawsuits. :-)

NOW...A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

NAME: Meg

GENDER: Female

AGE: over 30

LOCATION: America, unfortunately (and if you take issue with the 'unfortunately', keep your opinion to yourself)

LIKES:

WRITING (a bit obvious, I think)

LANGUAGE (and it's many uses and abuses)

SINGING (mostly jazz standards and musical theater)

SINGING IN THE SHOWER (it's all about the acoustics)

KARAOKE (in following with the singing theme)

READING (fave authors besides J.K.R. include Evelyn Waugh, Dorothy Parker, and Gail Carriger)

PHILOSOPHIZING (ask my about my life theories--I dare you)

OBSESSIVELY CONSUMING MEDIA (take your pick on what area of media--it's all consumed voraciously)

SPENDING TIME WITH ABSOLUTELY INSANE PEOPLE (mainly, my friends--but I've been known to branch out to psych wards)

TRYING TO COME UP WITH NEW AND INTERESTING WAYS TO PROCRASTINATE (but never with writing)

DISLIKES:

INTOLERANCE (if you don't like something, you're allowed--just keep your gob shut)

ENTITLEMENT (of you intrinsically believe the world owes you something, chances are you're just a twat)

INTENTIONAL IDIOCY (don't play dumb with me--you'll lose)

MEAN PEOPLE (this tends to go with the above dislikes)

REALITY TELEVISION (concessions include most of panel shows, Strictly, and DWTS)

ZUCCHINI/SQUASH (except in soup--but it must be pureed)

LAMB, VEAL, AND GAME MEAT (just no)
