The Ultimate Deathly Hallows Predictions Exam, part 2

Some of these answers were chosen on a "wow--that'd be cool if that happened" basis.  And some answers didn't quite satisfy my theories (like SNAPE was IN LOVE WITH LILY, but that doesn't mean he's LOYAL to the ORder).

ps: I cannot believe 79% (as of this posting) of the Harry Potter fanbase (who took this Leaky quiz) thinks Harry will live; he will die, mark my words, he will die.

pps: This is all for documentation purposes, and not really meant to be read through, anyone who reads this xanga who isn't a searchbot.

You have 180 Days...

Today, the NJ Supreme court ruled that “our state Constitution guarantees that every statutory right and benefit conferred to heterosexual couples through civil marriage must be made available to committed same-sex couples.”  However, they’re leaving it up to the legislature to decide how these rights will be conferred – will same-sex couples be given the full right to marry?  Or will a parallel body of some type of “civil union” be created that will grant “equal” rights and benefits to these couples?

Here's a copy of the ruling:
http://www.freedomtomarry.org/images/pdfs/nj_decision.pdf

Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo, Assemblyman Brian Stack, and Assemblyman Reed Gusciora have announced that they will introduce marriage-equality legislation (Garden State Equality: http://eqfed.org/gse/notice-description.tcl?newsletter_id=3759015).

So, let your representatives know how you feel! , see:
http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/roster.asp

I’m going to tell them that not granting the title of marriage is inherently discriminatory.  To quote the ruling’s cheat sheet, “There is, on the one hand, no rational basis for giving gays and lesbians full civil rights as individuals while, on the other hand, giving them an incomplete set of rights when they enter into committed same-sex relationships.”

I would write more, but I’m so painfully behind in school.

Be proud of NJ.  Fight for equality.

Wow, so it took a study break talking about nerdy things (I had just found some NEUROSCIENCE blogs online...one by a man calling himself "Dan Dright") for someone to point out to me that my FAVORITE song by my FAVORITE band is totally neuroscience.

I give you:
And when I see you, I really see you upside down.
But my brain knows better, it picks you up and turns you around, turns you around, turns you around.

Holy crap, how could I be so dense? I understood the whole spectrum/lack of color thing before...but I guess I never thought about the first lines. At least this serves as some inspiration. 13 hours...and it will be all over. (My GPA included, but eh.)

PS: Synapse to synapse, the possibility's thin. (I got that one.)

PPS: I was going to talk about this later, but I might as well now....my CS final project! Is located:

::maniacal laughter:: I've found that it works best for me in Firefox (although it really looks best using Linux; don't use Safari because it doesn't recognize my button colors). To play, first you enter the names of the players, and then press the smiley face button to start. Be quick because the game starts timing you once you press the button! It works like normal minesweeper, except I couldn't distinguish between left and right clicks, so there's a tool button that lets you switch between either uncovering a square or flagging a mine with the left mouse click (it displays which option you're currently using). And the timer only displays your time at the end. When you win/die it becomes the next player's turn. Battle it out to see who can get the best time and therefore is the ultimate winner at minesweeper/life. :) The quit button doesn't do anything on a browser, but normally you would quit the program once you were satisfied with which player is the victor. I could have possibly pimped it out a bit more, but in the interest of time/not failing orgo...speaking of which.

Let me know what you think, because if I am that huge of a nerd, I might fix it up in my spare time after exams.

At least I don't blog about neuroscience.
