"Follow the spiders. Why couldn't it be 'follow the butterflies?'"
Sorry, EEE - I don't think you'll know this one.
Feel free to quote from any of 'em.
Happy Tuesday!
Re: "Follow the spiders. Why couldn't it be 'follow the butterflies?'"
"Oi! Angelina! Want to go to the Yule Ball with me?"
Happy Tuesday! I'm working from home today because we went to the hospital last night and the doctor said no more going to work.
The baby hadn't been moving (or so I thought) and so we went in. Everything was perfect with the baby so that's good. My bp was high so she said that they'll monitor me at my appointment tomorrow and if it's still high, they'll induce me. I can't believe it's so close! Can I tell you how awesome it is to work from home? On the couch, feet up, Boy Meets World on tv, this is the life! Have a great day everyone!!!
Ok...you've mixed 2 of the movies, so is it a free for all?
Going off of the title of the thread "Spiders, the spider, they want me to tap dance, I don't want to tap dance!"
I cheated and google'd it as I never would have gotten it
Lois - I'd be jealous of the working from home thing if it wasn't for the reason why you are working from home. I can't believe it's almost baby time, super exciting!
Hi Joy and Beanie!
Not much going on here. My knee is killing me so I think I may have twisted it running yesterday. Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday!
my read shelf:
I got excited and didn't post anything else, duh.
I hope everything goes smooth Lois! So exciting!
I have moved my work station from the mfg floor to my office because it's just too darn hot out there.
Agh! So soon, Lois!
Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? Do you have names??
My husband and I quote the sixth movie often because we find it so damn funny.
"Harry! How did you get out here?"
"Oh, through the front door, sir."
"Not the mention the pincers..." ::do the fingers::
"Or else the bowl will remain empty ........forever" and we always add "or something" because the entire speech sounds so silly to a non-drunk person.
The pincers part cracks me up every.single.time. Brilliance in a 5 second part.
"I can touch you now...rahhhhhhh"
" I've done my waiting! 12 years of it! IN AZKABAN!"
"Hey, how much is this?" "5 galleons" "But, I'm your brother!" "10 galleons!"
"You applied first for the Defense of the Dark Arts, is that correct?" "Yes" "But you were unsuccessful?" "Obbbvviously."
I love all the movies! Joy made it a free for all I thought...that's one of my favorite lines. Fred / George are awesome. And I love that scene in the 6th movie Joy.
We don't know what we're having. We have 1 boys name picked out and 3 girls names so we'll see when it comes out. We did a bunch of the old wives tales things and got 12 girl and 5 boy. Not that those are at all scientific or accurate, more just fun. H was sad that it was so lopsided. I think he was hoping for a more equal split.
E, bummer on knee pain. That's why I don't run (that and complete laziness).
Hi Beanie! How's the house? I know you're getting settled, but are you loving it???
Yay! I love the surprise of not knowing! My husband and I won't find out when/if I get pregnant - it's not even up for discussion. I'm excited for you!!!
BEANIE - The "Oooooobviously" quote is said often in the Joy household.
We also say "Better out than in." Ah, Hagrid.
"I shouldn't have told you that - NO MORE QUESTIONS! Don't ask anymore questions!"
Oh man, oh man... my most favorite character in the series:
"Everyone gather round. Can everybody hear me? Can everybody see me? Excellent."
"Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher ... Me."
Yeah, once I read the quote I didn't read much else detail.
I freakin' love the house. I was scared that I was going to be terrified at night with H not being home until after midnight, but I am very comfortable in that area. I find myself just staring out the window at our yard at all the birds and bunnies and just imagine our future dog (Luna, btw) and kids running around in it. The 3 bunnies- Maxwell, Maxine, and Maximus are our security bunnies. I love seeing them hop around. Since we can't tell them apart they're all "Max."
"You're not going mad, I can see them too. You're just as sane as I am"
"Uh...who are you?" "And uh...who am I?
"Turn to page 394"<- Always said in our house. I will text a pic of him that I have saved on my phone randomly to H and say that.
"They are seriously misunderstood creatures!"
"All you have to do is stroke the spine!"
I was surprised to see you post this quote, Joy. I was expecting it to be Beanie!
"He was their friend! And he betrayed them! He was their friend!!!"
EDIT: Wow, I started writing this a while ago when there were only two posts. I come back and post and now there are a lot more!

This was the point in the series that I knew Snape was a good guy and on Harry's side. I love Snape.
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="D
I hated him, even after reading the books the first time. It then dawned on me that he is one of the best characters ever.
"MY FATHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!"
" Professor Moody! We NEVER use transfiguration as a form of punishment! I presume Dumbledore told you that?" "Might have mentioned it..."
"So did you and Ginny do it then?"
"...what?"
Remember the scene where Hermione is really upset that Ron kisses Lavender and is practicing with those birds? She stands up when they walk in, gives him the stink eye and says "Repugno?"
Someone in the theater yelled out "She's a crazy b*tch!" right after that. It was actually hysterical. Jay and I always say that one, too!
EDIT: I'm actually on the fence about Snape. Yes, I know exactly what side he was on, but his behavior is far fetched to me. Snape - in equal measures - liked and loathed a little boy because he loved his mother and hated his father? It just seems like maturity would win out and you'd have more class towards the kid. I know, I know - he had to play two parts, but there was no love lost between the two from the minute Harry came to Hogwarts. I'm not a guy, so what do I know, but from a woman's perspective, his genuine animosity towards Harry over something that happened when he was a child and over which the kid had no control just seems ... ridiculous. Maybe I'm alone on that.
That's why I still hated him after I read it. He was a mean pushy vindictive teacher. Then once I re-read them and re-watched the movies I realized that that's what makes his character so intriguing. I mean, I won't go around naming my kid Albus Severus or anything.
I would never name anything after Dumbledore. He's annoying and I don't like him. I know I'm alone in that, and I'm ok with it.
I am SO FREAKING HUNGRY. Rahh. These early mornings are totally screwing with my hunger routines.
"Will-you-stop-eating! Your best friend is missing!"
"He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood?
"I hope there's pudding."
my read shelf:
You're kooky.
Yes, you are the kooky one LBV.
"Just because you have an emotional range of a teaspoon!"
I object to your use of normal in this instance. Y'all are nerds and that's ok (and I can say that since I'm a book nerd as well.)
You know I
you all!
my read shelf:
If you have joined Pottermore, or haven't whatever, which house are you in?
I'm in Ravenclaw. I think it fits me. I would probably be locked out of the common room a lot, but I think the sorting hat would know that deep down somewhere I've got the smarts.
I was sorted into Hufflepuff and promptly never returned to Pottermore.
Clearly, I need to make a new account and try again because
IMMA RAVENCLAW.
EDIT (because I can't think enough the first time I post): I think Rowling copped out with Hufflepuff. Everyone else gets a strength (smarts, cunning, bravery) and Hufflepuff gets ...everyone else.
I was very upset when I went to Hogwarts last year and Ravenclaw had the fewest number of "points."
"It takes great courage to stand up to your enemy but even more to stand up to your friends. For that, I will award Neville Longbottom 10 points."
So well... I signed up for Pottermore again and raced through the first few chapters to get the sorting hat.
Guess where I was sorted?
Gryffindor.
I do not know myself.
Oh NOES! Not Gryffindor!
I mock because I feel left out of all the fun. But not enough so that I'll read the whole series. Just the first one for Aggie.
my read shelf:
Uh huh.... one book.... gotcha.
Oh, EEEEE - I have the BEST quote for you. It follows uneek's (HI UNEEK!) gif.
LEMME GET IT.
I LIKE CAPS TODAY.
Okay, this was said by one of the adult actors in the Harry Potter movies:
"I went off and read the books after the audition and I read all four books in one sitting - you know - didn't wash, didn't eat, drove around with them on the steering wheel like a lunatic. I suddenly understood why my friends, who I'd thought where slightly backward, had been so addicted to these children's books. They're like crack."
For anyone who wants to know: it was Jason Isaacs - Draco's father - with this quote.
I haven't done much with it, though.
my read shelf:
well played uneek, well played. It's very possible that I will be eating humble pie after reading the first one and then the entire series. If and when that happens, I will be the first to admit I was wrong.
but until that happens, I maintain my "y'all are kooky" stance
