Stupid computer hackers. (And Quidditch answers)
So, not to debunk the glorified image I *KNOW* you all have of me, but sometimes i am really not that bright.
Take, for example, the reason why my last post, which I spent OVER AN HOUR ON has magically disappeared. The reason? Because my computer has some Trojan on it.
No, not a giant condom. It has some thing that makes my computer fall down and go boom and then makes my MySpace, my bank account and anything I've touched in the last 4 days go to some magical place where SPAM emails run free and hackers frolic in cyberspace.
All because I was busy, and I got an IM from a coworker that said "Omigod, is this YOU?" and since I had been doing something in the public eye the weekend before, and might have been photographed doing said thing, I didn't think twice, and then my computer freaked out and I got phished or hacked or whatever.
Blech.
So anyway....I had this long witty post abotu roller derby and how I'm doing the scorekeeping and such for the Rust Riot tournament this weekend, but I also seem to have contracted "Death's Rattle" or something that makes me feel like my throat will either implode or explode with phlegm at any given moment, so I just don't have the energy to rewrite the damned entry.
SO! There you go. I will extrapolate more at some point next week on the joys of broken ladyparts and how bruises are not so much fun *down there*, and maybe will even provide a photographic essay on the rules and regs of roller derby, since that's pretty much all I'm doing this weekend.
AND! for my fellow Slytherins in the HSKS 4 swap, my answers to this week's Quidditch are posted here after the jump. Nobody panic, I'm trying to pull my weight around here.

Hey darlin, you're missing one answer, for question 8. (It's on the tip of my tongue--nickname Moony, I believe.)
Looking forward to the rules & regs!
