What she texts: I'm finw What she means: I'm fine

What she says: I'm fine What she means: In Legally Blonde, Elle only gets accepted because she's hot and sent a video, but she had a 4.0 and got a 179 (out of 180) on her LSATS. Sure, her major was in Fashion Merchandising but that's a business major, and the fake school she was at was supposed to be UCLA so she had a business degree from a major college, probably went to a great high school, had a 4.0, and a 179 on the LSATS and at that point she would have been automatically accepted so why did they make it sound like she was such a bad risk? She even had leadership experience as president of a major chapter of what is apparently a huge sorority, since Delta Nus are shown as everything from cheerleaders to senators. Harvard should have been desperate to take her. She should have been able to get in if she turned in a cocktail napkin with her name written on it. So why make up the b------- excuse of "multiculturalism to justify letting in an extremely qualified and highly driven candidate just for laughs? Elle Woods deserved to go to Harvard and she earned that place with academic excellence and not by being hot. tumblr: standbyyourmantis THIS. >> Nightmaredoll fromm Wonderland

What she says: l'm fine What she means: In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Remus Lupin tells the students that no witch or wizard has ever seen a Boggart's true form, but in Order of the Phoenix, Mrs. Weasley asks Moody to check if the cabinet upstairs contained a Boggart reason being that he has a magical eye that can see through walls. That means that the boggart couldn't see him so it couldn't transform into his worst fear which means that Mad-Eye Moody is the only wizard that we know of in all of time that knows what a boggart actually looks like but it's never mentioned by anyone ever again.

What she says: I'm fine What she means: Fire Emblem 14 isn't coming out til next year and it's a dual release. I have to decide which game to get based on limited knowledge of the game itself, or buy both. Now I either pick Hoshido because they're peaceful and I respect that, they're obviously supposed to be the good guys or the Nohr because not only are the mu's adopted family but because they may be more interesting. There's also the fear that marriage may not be an option, and there's no logical reason to have a second generation, which was a great feature in Awakening. But I have faith in the game itself, and I should really stop trying to compare it to Awakening, but there's a lot of choices to make before the game even comes out.
