J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall.
After reading briefly from the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," she took questions from audience members.
She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."
"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause.
She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. "Falling in love can blind us to an extent," Rowling said of Dumbledore's feelings, adding that Dumbledore was "horribly, terribly let down."
Dumbledore's love, she observed, was his "great tragedy."
"Oh, my god," Rowling concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction."
Ian McKellen must be kicking himself so hard right now. |

Hey, anyone who still attends Vassar or cares about its goings-on:
You might have heard about a little arson incident that apparently took place recently in Noyes. You may not have heard the details. In brief: a freshman saw a Squirm flyer in the bathroom, flipped his shit, and decided that he had to cleanse the dorm with fire.
Then, like an idiot, he posted about it on Facebook and did his very best to sound like fake-British Norman Bates. Choice excerpts follow.
"... I had a complicated and, frankly, kind of bizarre, relationship with sex stretching back all the way to the summer between fifth and sixth grade (when my mother discovered me looking at sexually explicit images and punished me as harshly as she ever punished me.) I rather think I should like to have sex, but at the same time am rather repulsed by the act itself. The fascination and repulsion I feel are such that anything that forces me to think about sex tends to make me very uncomfortable, and leaves me at a loss as to what I should do. I tend to react censoriously to any public airing of sexual promiscuity, which is rather illogical, as, if I were given the chance, I would probably commit such acts myself. In short, for various complicated psychological reasons, if you publicly show me an advertisement for porn, I’ll probably freak."
"... a student-run magazine that promised to “provocatively explore sex and sexual pleasure” while seeking “to create a sex-positive community at Vassar while educating and promoting safe and consensual sexual expression” proved to be rather too much for me, especially when combined with my mother’s upcoming wedding (mother has always aroused contradictory feelings about sex in me. On the one hand, she’s the person who first taught me to be ashamed of my urges. On the other, her conduct both before and after this lesson has shown that she is not at all ashamed of hers.) Consequently, I rather lost my head... I thought on the subject for a moment, and then remembered the matches."
The SomethingAwful thread about it can be found here.
Seriously, aside from all the GPA and entrance essay qualifications, you'd think Vassar would have a basic compatibility quiz.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure the universe wants me to drive myself into a tree. And stupid me, I bought a Volvo, so I'd probably live. |

Breaking news: Jerry Falwell found unconscious, in 'gravely serious' condition.
Now, it would be a terrible thing for me to wish death upon another person. So I'll simply say that I hope a massive stroke has left him to subsist as a drooling retard for the bitter remainder of his long, long life.
If he comes back a hundred percent, all "I HAVE PERSONALLY TALKED TO JESUS", I will be very disappointed at the heavenly fumble.
The alternate "collapsed from exhaustion after a week-long bender of meth and cocksucking" ending would also be acceptable.
UPDATE: DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! |

Wh... what? WHAT?
That is a deep-fryer. Those are goldfish. And this is what happens when your society doesn't have a military-industrial complex. Video. |

Crane Crashes Down On 405 Freeway In Sherman Oaks
(CBS) SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. A crane overturned on the San Diego (405) Freeway Friday, trapping the operator and snarling traffic, authorities said.
...
The crane was being operated at a construction site that is part of the project to improve the interchange between the San Diego Freeway and the Ventura (101) Freeway, Humphrey said.
All northbound lanes remain closed as a precaution, California Highway Patrol Officer Patrick Kimball said.
According to the CHP traffic log, the northbound lanes will be closed until 4 p.m., at the very least.
ahahahahaha
LA, you are boned
edit: Seriously, my heart breaks for you. |

Two exciting things happened to me today!
1. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.7) eyeoftomoe and I went to Rocky Horror.
2. I got pulled over.
2. a. While dressed for Rocky Horror.
2. b. Which didn't occur to me until half an hour later.
Moral of the story: if you're planning on having a light out in Menlo Park, make sure your stockings are showing. And be nonchalant about it. |
