this is going to sound so pretentious in the morning.

It's been a long time since I've been into Harry Potter. It still means a lot to me, though. In high school, my group of friends were all into it - as kids do, we picked/assigned each other characters. My closest group was the Marauders. When Paddy and I took Astronomy, we called it Astrology and passed notes incessantly. The teacher put up with it because we got straight As and helped the other students. But that's not the story I want to tell. What I want to tell you is this: I was James Potter and it shaped me.

( Cut for some weird introspective rambling due to watching the new HP movie, no spoilers. I end up talking about deer a lot though. )

...and now I'm thinking OH GOD EVERYONE WILL THINK I'M SO STRANGE but this is who I am so fuck it. I'm weird, this is not news. Winter always makes me think of deer, and HP makes me think of deer, and HP in winter is like DOUBLE DEER WHAMMY. There, I made a bad joke, now I feel better. XD
