Dear Once and Present Housemate, you might get fewer funny looks wandering around the area we now call home, if you didn't wander out the place looking like you're better than everyone here. Me, I don't get funny looks, but that's because I smile at people, particularly our neighbours. Who are not yelling in foreign, they're yelling in Albanian, which okay, I only know because they had relatives coming over who accidentally rang our doorbell but still, I seem to get on better with people which, since I'm a socially maladept misfit, does not bode well for you.
Dear men of the world, asking a girl out 3 minutes after meeting her is not going to work. Particularly when she's just back from the gym and is therefore wearing tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. See people, I'm trying, why must guys chat me up when I am doing my best to look drab?
It strikes me that the three men most likely to read this are also the three men of my acquaintance least likely to do this, but should any of you have influence over small male children, teach them this so that they may not repeat the mistakes of far too many men.

About Heroes - I think the writers really need to try and decide what they're doing with Peter Petrelli, because he's got this weird split, because, when he's being a nurse, he's cool, and when he chooses to be sneaky, he's cool, but the rest of the time he comes across as whiny and I don't know why.
About Harry Potter -
While the scene with Lupin at Grimauld Place still makes me wince, it does help to explain 1 thing - why James and Lily chose Peter Pettigrew over Lupin as their secret keeper. Someone with such a well-developed 'run-away' sense is not just suddenly going to develop it at the age of 39.
Also, if I hear 1 more person bitching about Tonks, who's a qualified Auror, joining in the battle at the castle, I may well yell loudly at people.
