    Don't forget the Perseid meteor shower on the 13th (Thursday). If you are in the Northern hemisphere anyway, it will be a young moon (virtually no moon) making it extra special due to less light pollution. Should average over one 'shooting star' per minute and you want to be looking North East and nearly straight up :)

    Probably a silly question, but will you be able to see it with the naked eye? If that's the case then I am so grabbing my SO to go stare at the pretty sky. :3

    Absolutely, in fact anything else would probably be a hindrance as you would be focused in on too small a section and they move fast. That sounds like a perfect plan, you'll have a great time lying there dorking out together :) Try to get away from towns if you can, though you can see them from towns, just not as clearly or impressively. You'll want something to lie on and a pillow for your neck too!!

    Pray for clear skies too!! Even if like me you aren't religious, it can't hurt to try lol

    So I gotta ask.... for those into Harry Potter, do you prefer the books or the movies? Which one is your favorite book/movie - and is your movie favorite different from your book favorite?

    Don't worry I haven't forgotten you!

    That's a very tough question. Movie wise I absolutely adored the third installment much more than the others solely because I loved Alfonso Curaons vision for it. He brought out a lot of visual personality in the characters and it just came out so flawless in my eyes. Book wise it has to be the last book. I can't deny all those feels! If simple words on a page can pull a plethora of emotion from you like that then you have yourself a damn good book!

    Who all here went to every premiere of the newest Potter movie? At the last one we snuck in banana bread and muffins which we never ate because we were way too into it. On top of that a random person started crying on my besties shoulder whimpering "Dobby". It was odd...

    Alright folks, it's getting pretty dead around here so here's a really good question to spice things up a micro bit.


    Which hero of yours do you want to physically look like?

    My joke is I want to be strong like Moose from SPN.

    I wouldn't call him a hero, but Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane.

    If you are close to the equator then you should be able to see something. Basically the further north you are in the world the better it will be, as you start moving down into the SH then eventually you will miss out I'm afraid.

    Goku, at SS4, or maybe the demon Amon from Devilman, but the old original one, not the new one.

    Alright everyone, let's do something fun. I want you lot to brag about your proudest nerdy moments this far in life!

    Mine is one of my best friends asked me if I knew anything about pirates that would help him with his report for school.

    He had to stop me numerous times so that he could keep up with his notes. ;)

    I was watching the second Matrix movie with my brother. (Warning: 12y/o spoilers ahead) At the end, when Neo stops the machines and then passes out, I immediately screamed, "He ran out of EP!" My brother spit his soda across the room. :) Proud moment for this lil sis.

    And every time a shower comes around with a full moon... we get cloudy skies here in the Mid Atlantic

    A double bad for meteor shower watching. I wanted to go up the hill tonight to watch but we are going to have 100% cloud cover all night :(

    I realized my mistake after losing the ability to edit... that should have been "with a new moon".

    Yeah it's pretty much 100% clouds here. Well, here's hoping for the 2018 new moon and the Perseids. :neutral:
