Snape Stuff.
Because this is the Snapeblog at this point and I have no motivation to archive yet, the following goes here because it is Snape related.
You all know that scene in the movie where Snape confronts Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the corridor. No, not the second movie, the FIRST movie, imbeciles. After they tell McGonagal (I make no pretense at knowing how to spell that correctly) that the stone is in danger, and Snape sneaks up on them and is all menacing. You all know what I'm talking about, right? Snape pauses just a little too long while he's being menacing and giving Harry dark looks. Its not just a dramatic pause, or a long dramatic pause. It's a loooong "did poor Snapey-poo forget his lines?" pause. I always laugh at that scene. I can't help it. The pause is just too long to not laugh at.
Still working on writing stuff. I have a lot of homework so its slow going writing. I swear to god I will finish that essay for you by the end of the month May.

There's Always Something There to Remind Me (relationship rant part 2)
What really hurts most about breaking up is that your life changes. When you go out with someone you dedicate a part of your life to them (sometimes not enough, sometimes too much). All your plans for the future involve taking that person into consideration. You start to think they'll always be there, and thusly all your plans include them.
Then something happens. Someone says the wrong thing. The wrong response is given. Things fall apart.
Suddenly you're left with a giant gaping hole to fill. The person that was always going to be there with you for everything is gone. The part of your life that was devoted to them is empty. All your plans for the future are voided because they involved that person. You keep having to remind yourself that things have changed, and other people and things constantly remind you of the plans you used to have.
Eventually you find something to fill the hole in your life. A new hobby, a new someone, it doesn't really matter, your plans have changed enough that it doesn't hurt anymore. But there's always the memory of what might have been, what never was.
I can't hug my bunny anymore. I've hidden the purple sweater. I feel guilty every time I play Smash Bros. And every time I go to a bookstore I remember how he never really understood. And now he's back on IRC and I want to scream at him. I wish I could fill the hole, but I can't, there's still a part of me that's his.
This isn't only true of romantic relationships, it can happen to friends too. Losing anyone that really matters to you, changes your life, makes you reevaluate who you are and where you're going.
Sorry about that, cathartic blogging. Needed to get this out of my head. Haven't forgotten the below essay, been researching and bouncing ideas off people. Still working on it.

Cyberpunk
As promised I'm attempting to tackle this topic.
Cut for length.

New Piccy!
My beloved Outenkun graciously drew the lovely picture you see at the top left for me.
What do you mean you can't tell what it is? It's perfectly obvious! It's Snape in leather pants with a pierced eyebrow and one shoe missing.
Fine fine. Go read this and then come back once you have gained understanding.
On a side note, working on notes for a discussion of cyberpunk sci fi as per May's request. Puu's request for a rant about the evils of Yaoi-con was vetoed because quite honestly, I don't really care that much about it.

Metaphor
Currently reading this. Came across this line:
Harry looked toward to door, where Snape loomed, bat-like, on the threshold.
Now, I'm sure this makes me an evil person, but doesn't that imply that Snape is hanging upside down from the lintel?
That image is precious. Outenkun agrees with me.

The chibi demented Lisa heads are something interesting aren't they?
I told you I'd put something interesting here eventually.
