Just got sorted today... yay Hufflepuff! If it wasn't Hufflepuff or Slytherin I was going to give that hat a serious talking-to.

I am GhostNimbus28630 if you want to add me. I will add everyone and their mother; however, I make no promises to keep everyone's names straight :D

Cool! I found where you can add nicknames, but then even when I set it to display by nickname it doesn't stick... oh well, I added you! Already went through the whole first book and they haven't added anything else. So THAT'S what people have been bitching about. LOL

Well, maybe they'll fix it soon. xD

Yeah! Nothing new but supposed this summer, we'll get book 2! :3

Hmm, it shows it if I go to my friends thingie instead of just viewing it on my profile. Hmph.

I so don't get the spells/dueling, but am starting to get the hang of potions!

Ah I'm getting the hang of spells but not potions! Lol

Ha! I have the patience to keep trying on Potions but not Spells. Apparently you only lose house points if you REEEEEALLY fuck it up bad so yay.

Not like you guys need the points :D Hufflepuff is so far behind it's sad. I think because enough people hate the house that they abandon it to rejoin to get a different one :(

After this last potion finishes brewing I'ma make myself go do something more productive like watch Game of Thrones lol

LOL true true...x3

Yes, that's very productive! *nodnod*

You're a Slytherin? That makes oddly sense....

Do it! It's fun and you don't have to waste THAT much time on it really :D though you have to get to Chapter 7 before you can be sorted...

Ok, I am DragonSpell15579.

Might be a while before I am sorted

I added you. :)

How do I unlock "Measurements" in Chapter 1 "Something peculiar is happening?"

Do I need to do that before moving on?

Date: 2012-04-23 03:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
I think you can go back and collect things/unlock things later, but certain things you can't go forward... like you need the shopping list in Diagon Alley. "Measurements" was just a throw-in thing I think? And you can read those at the end of the chapters as well. I know there were some I didn't click on in the scenes but was able to read at the end.

I never did get the Alohomora spell either but it let me go on!

Ohh ok.

I won't let me go past Owls yet till I get a message.... Did the same happen for you?

Date: 2012-04-23 04:19 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
No, I didn't have to get a message -- weird O.o Maybe you have to find a message in the room? Did you notice you can double-click to zoom, twice in most rooms, and you have different stuff at each "level" of the room...

Thanks for the double click tip.

Was that alarm clock in Harry's cupboard something to collect for the trunk? I kept clicking and nothing happened.

From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
Um...I think so? Haha, I just did it less than a week ago and I don't remember! You probably have to be at the correct zoom "level" of the 3. The one where it's most in focus.

Oh wait, lemme go see if it's in my trunk right now, derp... yes, it's in there! It's the first thing I got.

Thanks! I went back and finally got to collect it.

BTW, I was sorted into Hufflepuff!

Date: 2012-04-29 04:21 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
Yay! Hufflepuff is the best!

Gryffindor is catching up to you guys!

*chills with the non-hater Puffs that are in last place due to all the haters*

I can't brew Potions on my laptop, sooo inconvenient :(

Wow, Pottermore is open at last. I had given up hope. Having read your post I got in now but I find it extremely annoying. But then, I was never one for online games. I just don't have the patience... I want to be sorted and get a wand, though...

I had given up too! And I was annoyed at first that you can't just get sorted right away, but then I liked going through the chapters. I ended up doing the whole first book in one go, and there's no other books up there yet. Now I want to brew potions for fun, but my laptop is way too slow and some of the flash things don't seem to work right :\ It works great on my desktop but that's far away from the TV so not ideal for multi-tasking!

I have no idea what this is about, but thought I'd post out of rebellion as I'm not allowed to listen to radio at work.

Date: 2012-04-27 12:51 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
No radio? How barbaric! What about CDs or MP3s or streaming online? Since apparently they don't care if you go on "social networking sites" unlike my work!

I miss your "guess the quote" game, by the way :D

I stream the radio through my pc, so I'm listening on my headset and it doesn't disturb anyone else. I find it helps me focus. He thinks it's a distraction. Have a listen - www.absoluteradio.co.uk.

Oh! They have a Q&A with Keane! Been listening to them lately :D Aww, reminds me how I used to stream UK radio shortly after my trip because I missed being over there... but then naturally got back into the swing of things at home and forgot all about it.

Haha, I recently had a little debate with my brother about that quote and how it doesn't REALLY come from Spiderman... except it seems that it does?

Date: 2012-05-01 02:17 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kevthejedi.livejournal.com
Yes, it does really come from spiderman. I believe it was in the first comic as well.

Yeah, noticed that when I googled it, since that first one was sooooooooo long ago I guess it makes sense it seems like a really old thing?

By the way, I listened to your station a lot this weekend! The 00s. Good stuff.

Date: 2012-05-02 12:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kevthejedi.livejournal.com
You cheated?!

It's a good station to listen to! I like the no repeat 10-5, so you don't hear the same song twice!

Date: 2012-05-03 02:25 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
Noooo not with you, the first time! We had to know!

Your 10-5 is different from my 10-5 though, I wouldn't be listening in the wee hours of the morning like that :) The station I was listening to at work had a no-repeat ALL DAY LONG thing... which was nice, except they would still play the same songs every day, so I still got a little tired of it and switched to another station, who does play repeats during the day but it's more current stuff so I'm not sick of it yet.

From: [identity profile] kevthejedi.livejournal.com
Valid point! It's my working day though so works for me. Only problem is it's virtually the same playlist everyday - give me some variety! Shame I can't have my own set list on at work.

From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
Yeah! On Saturday I was like "oh wow, I can't believe they're playing this song, I never hear it on the radio over here, how awesome!" and then when I heard the same song again on Sunday I was like "hmmmm, okay that's cool but why aren't they playing one of the band's OTHER songs if they're cool enough to play them at all?" LOL. Is it just laziness?! ALL radio stations do it!

Oh and they tell me I'll get 50% less "adverts" if I make an account... why would I want to do that when I can hear cool terms like "advert" instead of "ad" and "tele" instead of "TV" and prices given in pounds, all in a lovely British accent! Hehe.

So! Did you find out at your appointment if you're having a boy or a girl????

Date: 2012-05-04 12:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kevthejedi.livejournal.com
I don't get it either, there's so many songs to choose from, why always play the same ones? There must be a reason for it.

I'm signed up, the adverts are annoying, especially Go Compare. Can't say I notice the accents either!

Yes, I know what flavour my child is. Can you guess?

Laziness!

Okay, I have a 50/50 shot here... a girl!

w00t! Go me! Congratulations, I hope she's a daddy's girl :D

Thank you, very happy! She will be my little princess! And no, I won't let her play with my lego!

Date: 2012-05-12 04:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
LOL nooooo no "legos" *snort* I hope she IS a little princess! A girl at work is pregnant with her third child. She has a boy and a girl, so I asked if she cares what this one is since she already has one of each, and she said a girl because the girl she has is a total tomboy and she wants a girly girl! She is indeed having a girl now, yay. She says she's going to MAKE her be a girly girl!

And I just spent the evening with my pseudo-niece, the most adorable 2-year-old on the planet. I hope you have the second-most-adorable baby out there :D
