Breaking spines is bad. Cutting people up isn't.

Reread Sectumsempra scene just now, for purposes of fic and also of avoiding my 850-page Modern Criticism and Theory textbook. Unfortunately ended up reading on through the chapter, because I’m bad at making myself stop reading.

Got to Harry being oh-so-oppressed by the system and Snape. “A dozen detentions!” Oh, my heart bleeds. Almost as much as Draco’s chest, you amazingly amoral little pyschopath!

Have now thrown book against wall. Book has broken spine. Catholic Schoolgirl Roommate knocked to ask what that booming noise was.

Ooh-er.

In other news, happy St Patrick's Day!
