I'm infectious over the interwebs!!! xD I'm still lingering with it too, isn't that just the best way to start a new year?? >.<

They do have them recorded, I think. They do it through Twitch. It's [link] and the archives are there at the bottom I think. They finished it a while back, but it's luckily at the beginning of their shows. They were doing pizza hour, where they'd order a pizza for someone and read My Immortal while they waited for it to arrive. xD So it's always in the first hour to hour and a half of the stream. It's side-splittingly funny being read by them. Otherwise it's painful... xD It's rough because it starts at 11pm est, but it goes until about 6-7am... So while the start is okay in pst, it still goes past my tired limit... But it's entertaining as heck!

I would love to live stream too, but my internet is unreliable as well... It's fiber optic now, methinks, but for some reason it keeps resetting. Part is our router, but part is them, and between the two, it's hard to keep a steady connection for long periods of time. Last stream I watched it went down about 3 times. >.<

I read a post on Tumblr that really kind of made me think about the whole Harry/Ginny thing and why it bothered me... [link] <-It's long, but really worth the read. And I agree with it whole-heartedly. It also kind of hits on my Ron/Hermione dislike. Harry Potter and the 10 Years later (a short fan-made series on YouTube if you haven't seen it!) really hit the nail on the head for them with me, where Hermione and Ron were at a bit of a crossroad. Ron was unsuccessful financially, and spent most of his time goofing off, and Hermione was so anally retentive and was successful because she never did anything wrong. And it drove them both a bit mental. I figure, that's how it would probably have been for them, not the perfect epilogue ending JK wrote. The only reason I can even envision them together at all is because they went through so much together, they might be willing to stick it out and keep going. Harry and Ginny, on the other hand... Well that Tumblr post summed it all up.

And yeah, through his memories and the known facts, I established my hate for her. The simplest reason is: She married the man that made her best friend's life hell. That is one of the most vindictive and spiteful things EVER. JAMES drove Severus to the breaking point where he lashed out at her. JAMES started the rivalry out of jealousy in the first place. If it weren't for James, they'd have been peaceful and happy, not necessarily as a couple (I think he was friend-zoned for life regardless...) but at least as friends. The book said Lily went out with James because he had changed in 7th year. Yeah, he effed up Sev and Lily's friendship so what point was there to screw with Sev anymore? (And I know it's a horrible word to use, but I can think of a few MORE horrible words my friends could call me in anger and I'd still forgive them! That's what friends do! And after knowing him since they were 9, she should have KNOWN he didn't mean it, and that abandoning him was a surefire way to send him into the grip of the Slytherin future-Death Eaters that she wanted him to stay away from! She's so dumb...) Dating a guy that treated your best friend like that (and that you claimed to hate so much) is like spitting on your friend and the friendship you shared, and is a horrible disgusting thing to do. If she severed her friendship with him and moved on with someone else, it would be more forgivable. Okay, it hurt her, but she's moving on. It's not moving on with a guy so inextricably tied to that friend.

It's true that everyone just erases the sins of those who pass away. (By the way, that casserole dish quip had me in stitches!!!!) And perhaps in a lot of people's eyes they WERE saints, like James/Lily in Sirius'. And I LOVE that Severus isn't afraid to stomp over that line right in Harry's face. I just wish that he saw that LILY was just as bad, and instead of wasting his life pining over someone who treated him so reprehensibly, he could have moved on as best he could. I kind of feel like that was a horrible character trait to put on him, the friend-zoned outcast who obsesses until death over a woman who treated him like crap and married the man he loathed, and keeps her on a pedestal like some pathetic loser even though she's dead and gone. I can totally accept that he was a loyal friend always, and that he continued to care about her to some degree. But I think JK over did it and to me it's more like a character assassination at the end. I dunno... Maybe I'm taking it the wrong way. I just felt like here is this perfect character, and then she gives him this motivation that is just like beating him to death with a bat. It makes me sad... Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't hate Lily. I dunno. CONFLICT!

I ranted too much, better end that Rage-A-Rainbow! LOL

And that's true about husband corrupting! I didn't think about that! xD I know I was corrupted before I met him (I was a horridly wrong minded little girl! haha), and perhaps that is what it is... It's a melding of the corrupted minds, that joining of forces for the dark side! Peraps there is no one corrupting the other... It's the combined twisted minds feeding off one another to make a super corruption in the both of you! xD

Sorry for the longness! Oh my goodness, my ranting! xD
