Someone's getting a little twitchy
creamtea is one of the folks who came up with a Love Potion theory after HBP came out. It's hard to take her seriously, though, when she posts stuff like this: (on the ARGH thread at FA: http://forums.fictionalley.org/park/showthread.php?s=&threadid=120777&perpage=20&highlight=&pagenumber=2)

Ginny's spraying the train compartment like a cat on the prowl!

Harry's just some random boy obscuring her view of the Boy Who Lived. He's never been real to her. That's about the greatest lack of care/disrespect you could ever pay anyone. Even when she's trying to get close to him, she doesn't understand him. Yep, she cares so much she just doesn't get him at all - she only ever views him through the lens of her own needs/preoccupations.

Specific example: the train-ride home in OoTP. Quite clearly Ginny STILL feels that Harry's
quietness is about Cho. And how stupid and uncaring and unconsidering is that? Because it was bad enough that she thought it was 'all about Cho' (which is her own obsession projected onto Harry) in the library. But this 'it's still all about Cho' on the train is AFTER Sirius has actually DIED! She has no excuse for not understanding it. She knew he was down about Sirius before the DoM - she's supposed to have learned that in Teh Holy Chololate Scene. She was at the DoM - she knows Sirius is dead. She even told Luna. At a cognitive level she knows Sirius death must have hit Harry - yet emotionally, she's incapable of grasping it. At the time of his greatest nadir - she's STILL obsessed with viewing it all from the perspective of her own petty obsessions. He's grieving away and she's swishing her arse and trying to scent the compartment up with: 'I chose Dean'? After 'I naver gave up on you' we know that 'I chose Dean' has got something nasty and calculated at the back of it. Harry is flat on the floor and she's still thinking about boyfriends.

There's a whole lot more stuff like this, but I've never done these HTML codes before, and I want to see if they work with this one example before I go further. ;-)

a HA! Lysette's obsession with "Ginny is like a Band-Aid in Almost Famous" is finally explained!

I was a Paul Stanley of KISS fan for a very long time. I met him over a dozen times, and got to talk with him for more than an hour and a half once. As far as I'm concerned, I got more than I ever hoped for. I got to meet the real man behind the image. The thing was, I knew several people who, like Ginny and "the boy who lived" were totally convinced that if only they could meet Paul, he would know that she was The One, and they would get married and live happily ever after. Then they met the man, and found out the hard way he was never their fantasy.

	Of course, Ginny met the man and he was everything she wanted. But that's one bit of fact that some people will never understand or acknowledge. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Sporfle! Why do I find this so funny? Maybe I'll ship Lysette/Gene Simmons just to be contrary.

It's so sweet that her hour and a half conversation with a rock star brought her the true "man behind the image" while Ginny knowing Harry for upwards of five years and actually dating him never could. I wonder if he kept the makeup on the whole time?

Nah, I bet he took it off and that's what's she's talking about when she says she got to know the "true man behind the image."

Seriously, though, I always thought she must have been a groupie because that's the one crazy Ginny comparison that she just relentlessly harps on.

Yeah. Apparently she wasn't just a groupie - she was a groupie who thought she was better than other groupies. They were shallow. They didn't know what vast pain beat in the heart of a rock god. They were just living out a fantasy, instead of being totally grounded in the real world like Lysette!

Someone needs to make an icon with Paul Stanley looking pensive in full makeup and the caption, "Ginny never understood me."

	Speaking as someone who has been lucky enough to meet almost all of their current favourite musicians, what on earth is she talking about? "I got to meet the real man." Bullshit you did. You just had a nice meeting. He didn't become your friend. You have no idea what the real person is like. Christ. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Please remember to stress that she has met him over a dozen times IN ADDITION TO speaking to him for an hour and a half. We wouldn't want anyone getting the impression that she's some shallow Band Aid or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)
