because they do it so naturally. I can see them being more at ease with each other than with me. It’s a special kind of pain to know that I could be like that if I didn’t come across as uncomfortable all the time with anti-social cues, like stumbling over my words, avoiding eye contact and just manifesting poor self-esteem.

Happened just tonight outside my townhouse window. All the kids playing. The moms talking, but not me. I would only make things awkward… so I just stayed inside. Grieving a wholeness I fear I’ll never have and a closeness I’ll never have.

Not sure what I need tonight. You can offer what helped you in similar situations. You can commiserate with your own experiences and vent with me. Anything helps. Thank you all for a safe place here.

My son got a mustache from Kindergarten last week and I wore his mustache when he asked me to. Haha it caused quite a stir, people couldn’t stop doing double takes. Some smiled, some tried to have no reaction, some complimented me. It was fun! 10/10 Would do it again. This one guy said “You get used to it tickling your nose.” Loved it. It was a real win for my fear of judgement. I didn’t die!

Edit: I should qualify, I’m a woman.

Singing time, sharing time, lesson time: what memory still resurfaces in your mind after all these years?

I love the way older people strike up conversations with me and my young kids at the store. But I’m always worried I’ll inconvenience someone or that I’m not worth the time.

Gosh, it always lifts my day and brightens my mood. I want to be that person that injects some freshness into someone else’s life. I especially love getting told jokes out of the blue. I’ve encountered some good ones:

1. What did the fish say when he ran into a wall?

Dam.

2. What did the fish do when it saw the ocean’s bottom?

Blushed.

3. What’s a T-Rex’s favourite party?

A T party!

So! Any thoughts you keep in mind about people when you want to talk to someone? What about if they do look annoyed or incredulous? Lastly… got any good jokes?

Thank you for your help!

It’s so quintessentially Harry Potter to me. It’s in the DNA of the show. Will they allude to those famous tunes? Pretty big shoes to fill, John Williams’.

What do you think? Will they be able to invent another score that will be completely different?

Edit: is Hans Zimmer confirmed for the HBO series? I had no idea, sorry for not following more closely. I did a quick search on the sub to see if there were recent posts out there so I wouldn’t be redundant.

I see where all of you are coming from, but a big part of me would be surprised if the new score was something that didn’t allude to the whimsy of John Williams’ work. I deeply admire all of your dedication to getting something new. I suppose this is just something I’ll have to work on. Thank you for commenting!

Edit 2: I mistakenly used the word “score” instead when I was thinking more of “theme”. Like the recurring “Headwig’s Theme” mentioned in some of the comments. My mistake!

The fight scenes are pretty bloody! Just my shower thought for today. Feel free to chime in how you think an animated adaptation would go as far as fight scenes go.

Some of the deaths were pretty explicit. Haha no shade! Just observation. Reading them… it flows naturally and isn’t terribly shocking. Seeing it would probably be different.

Of course, I’m being a bit tongue-in-cheek. I don’t expect they would keep the fight and death scenes book accurate for an animation intended for the whole family, but boy! When I stop and think about it, it gets pretty gory! TV-MA /s
