Dear Alan Rickman and/or Professor Snape,
Yes. Ok. Whatever you want. I love your face, I love your voice, I am in complete thrall to the dark redemption thing you've got going on. Take me somewhere shadowy and penetrate my mind.
Yours sincerely,
Becky
P.S. It's a little weird that you are older than my father, but let's not worry about that too much.

That Which Hope Has?
I heard a rumor that my blog has an insufficient number of posts relating to feathers. Not wanting to disappoint or engage in false advertising, I thought I would try to begin to rectify this situation.
By rights, though, this post ought to be about my very recent decision to quit Latin, or my excursion this afternoon to see Doubt, or perhaps explain why I'm posting about feathers at all... hmm.
Latin is the thing without feathers
that mostly leaves the brain
and sings the song with the incomprehensible grammar,
and then comes 'round again.
Doubt isn't really feathered
but if it were to be
it would be gray and barely formed
and softly curled in me.
A duster is a thing with feathers
which can be used to clean
but when it's bright and pink and soft
it begs a better scene.
Also, I have always liked collecting feathers, and have sometimes considered getting a feather tattoo.

75.5... Personally, I think that's a little low to really be a whore.
...Though it does make me wonder about the obscene number of movies I must have seen so far in my life. Not obscene in a bad way, really, just... a lot.
