:O what's wrong with my sweet?

I typed a reply to your Tango message but it doesn't seem to have gone through :/

In any event no, we don't have that here at all lol - at least not in any Australalalia I've seen!

Also remind me to show you a text conversation between me and my sister, I need a completely impartial third party to tell me I'm not the stupid one and stroke my hair softly.

My PokeCommunity life has become so hectic that I let you fall to the third page on my feed, I'm so ashamed!

Tango makes you happy? I've been meaning to ask you about this, are you speaking of the dance or is there something else named tango that I should know about that the kids are into these days?

also I <3 you too

So my absence continued for far longer than I had anticipated but on the bright side my manager is back in her rightful place by my side and I'm allowed to live once more! She also got me an awesome Pikachu (or Pik-chu as it says) shirt from Croatia so there's that.

In other news, I also learned of the phrase 'hoist by one's own petard' today which makes a joke from Veep a whole lot funnier than it was before. It's really a great time to be alive.

So. It's been so long I have no idea what we were even talking about now. Shall we start over? Tell me of your university adventures in England with your evening banquets at long tables and moving staircases what are whimsical and atmospheric but not practical whatsoever.

My absence is over! Hold that thought though, I shall finish this message when I get up tomorrow (ON MY DAY OFF! I FINALLY GET A DAY OFF!)

Well you won't even tell me when your birthday is, so I think if you're gonna flog yourself over something it should be that :P

Pretend there's no masturbatory double meaning to that or your long hard penitence and carry on.

YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY LEAVE THAT QUICKLY, I REPLIED WITHIN THE SAME MINUTE

I'm here! Skype, immediately!

Cannot talk. No longer human. Am now Company owned and operated drone machine designed for specific purpose of carrying out Company bidding, even on own time. No longer referred to as 'own time' but as Company Annexe Time [CAT]. Wiping down dusty shelf with one hand as I type this message with the other. Company must not know I was here. Waste of precious time resource. Must think of only The Company.

Goodbye my Bar-

So! Before I forget, here is the Snape post:

http://andylately.tumblr.com/post/98154675052/you-must-have-shown-me-real-loyalty-down-in-the

It's a long read, but it's completely worth it. It's more about Dumbledore's relationshop with Snape and how manipulative he really was. Made me respect Dumbledore even more, that puppet master of ours!

The marathon was The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I got to spend practically the entire day at the movies, it was fantastic. My favourite place in the world, a beautifully dark air conditioning-d cinema. Ahh, if only I were going there tomorrow rather than the horrid place where they keep my paycheck :P

Anyway I haven't forgotten your PM, I will reply to it! I had a dorky ear-to-ear grin the whole time I was reading it :P - I love that you're so happy now!

The messages are piling up I know! I had to drive my friend an hour and a half away last night in my Barrels texting time to get back to her Dad's place to fetch her antidepressants so you can blame her :P thanks to the simultaneous beginning of Daylight Savings we left at midnight and got home at 4am lol. I shall message you tonight when I get home from my movie marathon :D LOVE YOU

Also thank you for reminding me about the Snape post, usually when I ask people to remind me of things they fail spectacularly

It's impossible for you to become rubbish, you're a timeless classic <3

I like your scientific theory though, about time speeding up. Week 1 of 6 is now over and the routine is pretty similar for all 6 weeks so hopefully you're right! Boom science.

On the Snape conversation, remind me to link you to a tumblr post next time I'm on my laptop. It was VERY INTERESTING AND SHOWS A SIDE TO DUMBLEDORE I HAD NOT CONSIDERED THAT MUCH.

Yes, flair, style and much anxiety that I am trying very hard not to let get to me this time around. It is an uphill battle.

BUT today was Day 1 and it didn't go so terribly. So now that's one down... 45 to go. I came home and put a big X trough today's date on the calendar. Not sure if that'll make it seem like the time is going faster or slower. I'm hoping to just black out for two weeks and wake up on the otherside having done everything perfectly in a trance-like state. Frankly I could do with a working nap. I'll manage though, I guess. And come November I'll have my life back and hopefully this terrible awful will never have to happen again.

Anyway enough about my pathetic sob story. Is this legitimately the usertitle you'd like? :P I can't guarantee it but DON'T SAY THE WORD UNLESS YOU MEAN THE WORD. If you mean THE WORD I shall do what I can :P

Also check out a post of mine now, the name Sodom looks much better now that I've replaced all traces of Katholic Nun with it :P

OK yes, I know Snape was a dick. I know that knowing he was in love with Lily doesn't change that. Except it does, it changes everything. It gives context. We now know why he was an asshat to everybody - the love of his life is dead and he'll never be able to save her. We know why he was a cock to Harry specifically - he served as a constant reminder of Lily's death and he looks exactly like James, the man who stole her from him.

BUT REGARDLESS OF ALL HIS FEELS, HE WAS IN THAT CASTLE PROTECTING HARRY FROM EVIL. That is a standup guy. #goodguysnape

Yeah, you'll take that scrotum and you'll like it, young man!

OK, it's 2:50am and I'm super tired but if I don't do this now it could quite possibly never happen. You remember that thing that happened last year? That terrible, terrible thing? Where I was a store manager for 4 weeks? Well, it's happened again, I've just started a newly upgraded SEVEN week run. I wasn't even given adequate time to get over the PTSD from last time, so this should be fun. Anyway that's the long and the short of why I'm so busy, I'm out there working hard for the money :P

So I've just read back through the immense amount of Harry Potter things, which I will get to, but first in the HP furore I seem to have skipped over the fact that you have life news?! PLEASE DO TELL ME ALL!

NOW ONTO THE POTTAR.

Firstly... I hate that McGonagall ending. Who thought it would be OK to have a badass like her die at age 76 just randomly on the day she retires? Like she exists only for Hogwarts and only to help in the battle against Voldemort, and then after she fulfils her life purpose she powers down like a bad Terminator rip-pff. Honestly Barrels, what could you have been thinking of :P

Secondly, that is hysterical. Boating lmao. I imagine it would look like the one achievement he ever had, so the lake would be shaped like a sword cutting a snake's neck off. Like, plane pilots flying overhead would be like "oh that looks like a sword cutting a snake's head off" and the co-pilots would be like "yeah hey"

SNAPE WAS TOO LATE TO SAVE HER UGHRUIHSHSKHFV AFTER ALL THIS TIME ALWAYS EMOTION OVERLOAD.

Huh, so Hermione is responsible for ArthurWeasley.com, in which he speaks voraciously about his love for tea cosies and telephones.

OH JESUS GEORGE WEASLEY THINGS ARE JUST BELOW THE BELT. LIKE THAT WAS HIS ****ING TWIN FOR **** SAKE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE.

Now the last one (lol camping) is my favourite. That is such a sweet ending for Snape and Lily at last. I've come to really resent James Potter, he seems like he was kind of a douche, I don't get entirely why Lily would have chosen him over Snape. All that time Harry spent idolising his father when it was his mother that did all the heavy lifting, dying for him and whatnot. And what good is James Potter to Harry now? It's SNAPE that protected him all these years. SNAPE.

Aaand now my fingers are exhausted. So glad I'm not a lesbian, I'm ill-equipped.

I'm sorry, I suck so much lol. I will reply to you tomorrow night or I will chop off my scrotum and mail it to you. Talk about collateral.

Also I love you be mine forever

Lmao I'm sorry, give me a minute! The more you give me to respond to, the longer I take to find a time where I can sit down and reply to it haha. I did very much appreciate the 16 message notifications though, you made me feel all speshul and stuff :D

OK uh, firstly I'm judging you so harshly for choosing Gossip Girl over anything Joss Whedon. There are 13 measly episodes left in Dollhouse, whereas Gossip Girl could take you well over a year to finish :P

Secondly, OHMYGODIGOTMCGONAGALL! That just made my day, sir. The one character who I feel is better than Hermione is McGonagall. Don't stress though, you'll get there one day. I see the potential.

And finally... the font? What font has changed and where? Are there voices in your head telling you the font has changed?

I'm so sorry I'm late sending you this message, I could have sent it yesterday, but I was far to busy trying (and succeeding, I might add) to master the thing that these two fine girls do with their cup. I have it DOWN TO A SCIENCE NOW, I'm so excited!

Your VM seems incomplete somehow. Speaking of which, I am turning into a giant animated crab? Speaking of which, Flippity Day has just arrived on my doorstep offering me oral sex and cookies? Speaking of which, I've gone in search of the meaning of the word 'pillock' as nobody really understands what it means? Speaking of which, I finally grasp the concept of the cloud? WHAT?

Also did you watch the episode again to gain a Greater Understanding?

I would watch it again, because it's actually one of the best episodes of the series lol. Essentially the episode is set 10 years after the events of Season 1 and shows the apocalyptic results the Dollhouse tech have had on the world because the corporation that created it (with Topher's help) began to further develop it and use it for more than just imprinting Dolls.

The episode focuses on a group of people (the ones with Felicia DAY) navigating their way through a world where nearly everybody has been imprinted and trying to find a place called Safehaven (that they don't even know for sure exists) where there is nobody imprinted and everybody is actually the same as who they were born as.

So in their travels while running from butchers (which from my understanding are people who were initially imprinted against their will as soldiers for the Dollhouse corporation) and dumbshows (people who have had their personalities removed and replaced with nothing, i.e. Whiskey) they stumble across the LA Dollhouse and find Whiskey and begin to imprint her with memories to understand how we got to where we are today.

The little girl isn't Alpha - Alpha has little at all to do with this episode, just a few passing mentions in the flashbacks that do give hints that he's not evil/crazy anymore if memory serves - but she's been imprinted with another personality that is not her own and when they find this out they wipe her and imprint her instead with Caroline (Echo's original personality) so that she can take them to safehaven.

But there is a lot more in the flashbacks that will help you with Season 2 (in fact they use some of the clips from those in actual scenes of Season 2). Season 2 will go back to our current time, but the final episode goes back to the 10 years later thing and continues that story, so it does help if you get an understanding of the episode :D
