al_ffn is back.
al_ffn says, Ooh
al_ffn says, T'worked
al_ffn says, Good morning, Vietnam
elvenwren says, What?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, <--- weird, as she's listening to Miss Saigon
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Al, we are all here listening to you
keithfras says, It's ten past three. I think I'll go to bed and sulk. 
perenelle13 says, jeezus, what the hell time is it over there?  4?  al, do you sleep?
al_ffn says, 3.11 BST
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, we are just being very silent in an attempt to make you
 feel that you re-entered an alternate dimension
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Come on - stay Keith!
perenelle13 says, no, 2.
perenelle13 says, nevermind.
keithfras says, What for?
elvenwren says, It's fun
perenelle13 says, hi, i can't add!  thanks, carry on.
al_ffn says, It's a Public Holiday tomorrow ... nowt to get up for
perenelle13 says, wow, i'm dumb.
elvenwren says, We should start calling them public hoildays.
al_ffn says, If I leave at, maybe 4 ... sleep thru till 10 or 11 ... I dunno.
keithfras ponders
perenelle13 says, i supposedly think in GMT all during my workweek, too.
al_ffn says, Well, BST is Daylight Saving ... so.
elvenwren says,  doesn't know any time zone well..
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries because Keith keeps rejecting her
perenelle13 says, oh, okay.  i am slightly less dumb.  but only slightly.
keithfras says, You're with George, Jana.
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries
al_ffn says, I was with Samantha, but she seems to have gone.
keithfras says, ?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, He left me!  ::wails::
keithfras summons George for jana
al_ffn says, I've been here so long that the radio has now played that Dido song
 four times.
absolute_sue says, jana - when did this happen?
perenelle13 says, which Dido song are they playing these days?
al_ffn says, The one Eminem covered in Stan
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Just a minute ago... ::Cries::  Ss-s-s-said he wanted
 to-to-to MARRY KATIE BELL!  ::sobs some more::
perenelle13 says, oh good god.
al_ffn says, Which is actually better than Stan
elvenwren says, awful..
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, And n-n-n-now Keith r-r-r-rejected me.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, an hour ago when he caught her with two other boys
perenelle13 says, "thank you".
absolute_sue says, what about anya?
slytherin_daughter  glomps Al
george_weasleys_girlfriend sobs
perenelle13 says, it's a rather nice song, once you get over the eminem thing.
al_ffn says, What was that for?
elvenwren says, Which song is this?
george_weasleys_girlfriend wails and heads for Owlery window
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Nothing left...
al_ffn says, It's a very good song ... and the Dido version has some nice Irish
 type pipes and stuff on it
absolute_sue says, stop
perenelle13 says, Dido, "Thank You".
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, this time let her jump
slytherin_daughter says, because you're shexy, of course
george_weasleys_girlfriend :collapses and cries::
keithfras says, This is what happens when everyone tries to schnoogle more than
one person at a time
keithfras HITS THE RESET BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!
keithfras says, This madness must end!
perenelle13 says, best song on that album is "hunter".  don't think it's been a
single yet.
slytherin_daughter says, ..........
al_ffn says, Haven't got the album
george_weasleys_girlfriend :is poked up by George
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, poked
al_ffn says, Last album bought ... Euphoria Chill Out Mix 4.
keithfras says, Right, schnoogling status is now returned to what it was when we started.
elvenwren says, I never buy CDs.. I'm mp3 only.. 
slytherin_daughter says, This is simple - Jana, you can shag George in the
fictional world, and have an affair with Keith in here. Then everyone is happy.
al_ffn says, Oh, brilliant ... now it's the New Radicals ... haven't heard this in ages!
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, G-George?  "Hey baby"  But... but... you said... 
"I was wrong... I was angry... didn't mean what I said... forgive me?  
"Of... of course!"  ::schnoogling commences::
al_ffn  dances around room doing air guitar
keithfras says, I don't believe in two-timing, even multidimensional.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Good idea, Em!
perenelle13 says, last album bought: new mojave 3.
perenelle13 says, i think.
perenelle13 says, oh, who knows.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, *giggles*
slytherin_daughter  bows
keithfras is sick of being so flipping honest and upstanding
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Good thing there's a lot of hay up here... 
literal meaning of 'roll in the hay'
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, keith/sinead in some fic, dai/sinead here, 
i remember that
slytherin_daughter says, live a little, Keith
al_ffn says, Keith/Sinead is ToT
keithfras says, Good point....um...
elvenwren says, What was in the HPFF RR?
al_ffn says, And I smacked Harry, as per your request in the review, Keith
keithfras says, Good.
al_ffn says, He's learning to keep his eyes to himself.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, everyone with everyone, canon, cameos, and cordelia
keithfras says, I've had enough of all this confusion. As of now, I am a 
schnoogle-free zone.
perenelle13 says, waitanimute.  *keith*/sinead?
perenelle13 says, have i missed something?
keithfras says, This was ages ago.
perenelle13 says, maybe i need to reread ToT.
al_ffn says, Read Time of Trial, Perenelle
perenelle13 says, i've read it, you dork.   
al_ffn says, Or re-read it ... I dunno.  Either's good.
perenelle13 says, hee.
slytherin_daughter  hasn't read ToT yet
perenelle13 says, i've apparently forgotten some bits, haven't i?
al_ffn says, I'm not going to embarrass myself and ask if you reviewed  
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, hasn't read it either
perenelle13 says, first i can't tell time, now this!
perenelle13 says, how embarrassing.
slytherin_daughter  never has the time
al_ffn says, All my regular reviewers seem to have dropped off the bandwagon.
perenelle13 says, i probably have, a few times.
elvenwren now owes 2 reviews to Al..
george_weasleys_girlfriend never has the time either between work, school and tech
elvenwren says, I did review chapter five of ToT though..
absolute_sue says, tech?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, tech - stage crew stuff
perenelle13 says, i occasionally refrain from reviewing to keep myself from doing
 nothing more useful than mindless gushing, though, Al.
perenelle13 says, sorry.  ;>
absolute_sue says, i thought the play was over
al_ffn says, Mindless gushing is fine  
al_ffn says, You saw Yael's mammoth review?
perenelle13 says, ah yes, i think i remember that one.
al_ffn says, Has anyone heard from Yael ... should have hit Scotland by now?
perenelle13 says, well, i certainly haven't fallen off the bandwagon,  or jumped. 
 or thrown myself overboard.  or anything drastic like that.
al_ffn says, Pity she couldn't make the London meet
absolute_sue says, i thought Yael was going to england
perenelle13 mopes.  want. to. travel.
al_ffn says, Has Neil been in too?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I don't think Neil's been in here all day.
al_ffn says, Scotland and England, being co-joined, are the same country, technically.
  You can easily go to both as the whole island is smaller than Florida
absolute_sue says, k
perenelle13 says, yikes.  laptop keyboards are horrible!!
   (the above was in reference to typoes that have been fixed)
al_ffn says, Edinburgh to London would be, roughly, Jacksonville to Miami ... possibly?
al_ffn  loves his laptop
slytherin_daughter says, "loves his laptop" --- how lewd!
perenelle13 says, work gave me my laptop, so i therefore can't feel very much
 affectio for it.
elvenwren loves Wylla!
perenelle13 glares evilly at her laptop.
al_ffn says, My Dad gave me mine!
slytherin_daughter says, I just got my laptop five days ago.
perenelle13 says, affection, too.  see?  SEE what it makes me do?  ;>
slytherin_daughter  pets laptop
absolute_sue says, doesn't have a laptop
george_weasleys_girlfriend :crawls into Keith's arms::
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, S'okay Keith.
perenelle13 says, what kinda laptop, emily?
slytherin_daughter says, It's an IBM Think Pad
elvenwren wants a TiBook.. they're so sexy looking.
keithfras says, I'm going to go to bed (something I should have done ages ago)
perenelle13 says, i soooooooooooo want a titanium!!
absolute_sue says, don't go keith
al_ffn says, Wants a mac ... but only if they run windows
catlady_de_los_angeles says, have good dreams keith, please
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries because Keith doesn't want her
slytherin_daughter  tugs on Keith's arm]
perenelle13 glares at al.  blasphemer!!!!
slytherin_daughter says, Stay.
elvenwren says, My mac runs windows
slytherin_daughter says, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, Keith.
perenelle13 says, new macs run OS10, which is of course *infinitely* better than 
any possible flavor of windows.
slytherin_daughter says, *motions towards Jana
elvenwren says, I'm currently running Win98 and OS 8.6
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries because Keith doesn't want her
keithfras says, You can come and see me in a museum some day - The World's Last
 Monogamous Man.
elvenwren says, OS X
perenelle13 says, it runs on BSD!  and what could be better than unix with a 
lovely GUI, i ask you??
perenelle13 says, nothing, that's what.
perenelle13 says, so there!
al_ffn says, Stay lucky and be happy, Keith.  Till next time.
elvenwren says, Aqua's pretty sweet indeed.
keithfras says, If *I* confused other people no end, I'd kill myself with guilt.
slytherin_daughter says, more like *get* lucky ..... and happy, too.
keithfras says, Not literally.
perenelle13 stops her babbling.
slytherin_daughter  hits Keith with a salmon
slytherin_daughter says, lighten up.
perenelle13 says, keith, i don't know you, but you're pretty cool.  so shush.
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries because Keith still doesn't want her and is 
walking out on her, though it's precisely what hurt him in the first place
keithfras says, The chances of *that*, Emily, are about as high as those of
 the Faeroe Islands winning the World Cup.
perenelle13 grins.
keithfras says, Seriousness is evidently illegal.
absolute_sue says, yes it is
slytherin_daughter says, psst, Keith!
perenelle13 makes off with the salmon and grills it up with lemon, butter, and dill.
perenelle13 says, meep.
keithfras says, Look, you can't spend your entire time saying how sexy George is, 
then expect me to fill in!
keithfras says, What?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, There are other monogamous men, Keith, talk to
 Rebecca Horst about her husband
al_ffn says, Talk to me ... I'm nonogamous
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, George is fictional.
slytherin_daughter says, She's sixteen, has a sense of humor and is probably better
 looking than I.
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries and wants Keith
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Al? "none" agamous?
slytherin_daughter  wonders if a binding charm is necessary
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I am definitely not better looking than you, Em.
slytherin_daughter says, nonogamous?
perenelle13 says, heh.  i'm "non"agamous, too.  sad.
slytherin_daughter says, pshaw, Jana
elvenwren wonders about al's and emily's latin
al_ffn says, Oh, work it out, Emily
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Pshaw nothing.  I'm quite the hag.
perenelle13 grins.
slytherin_daughter says, As in, celibate?
slytherin_daughter says, Or.... single?
al_ffn says, Emily, for such an intelligent person ... as I'm completely sure you are
 ... you are being a bit dense.
slytherin_daughter says, You think I'm intelligent?
al_ffn says, I think you must be.
perenelle13 says, only not just now.  ;>
al_ffn says, Exactly ... thanks, Perenelle
slytherin_daughter  wonders at this statement, feels special, and goes back to 
figuring nonogamous out
perenelle13 says, anytime.
al_ffn says, Oh, for the love of God ... no sex life, though not through choice.
slytherin_daughter  hits forehead
al_ffn says, At this point in time
slytherin_daughter says, doh!
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries and wants a hug from Keith
keithfras hugs Jana
perenelle13 says, al, you caved.
slytherin_daughter says, Keith is obviously scarred for life over my leaving him for Al.
keithfras says, OK? Can I go to bed now?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, No.  Stay and sit next to me.
slytherin_daughter  insists that Keith must stay.
keithfras says, No, I want to sleep. I'm about to just collapse over my keyboard.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Then lay next to me and go to sleep?  
keithfras says, Why should I stay? I'm just disrupting things with my kill-joyness.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, damn it, Keith, I am serious, everyone in these groups
 cares about you (except Dai who doesn't count) 
slytherin_daughter says, Oh, there's another Jana merit - she's famous!
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I AM NOT FAMOUS!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The two of you can use Rosemary Foxglove's 
Sourdamours Porte d'Ivoire potion for sharing dreams, then each go to sleep
 on different continents and be together
george_weasleys_girlfriend :Screams::
slytherin_daughter says, Cheering you up is bringing us together, Keith
keithfras says, Who what when?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I want Keith to stay.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Because he's the only one who hugs me when I
 ask for one.
al_ffn says, Look ... we want you to be happy ... so you need to go out there
 and do whatever is going to make you happy.  I don't know you beyond cyberspace,
 so I can't say what that might be.  But it's your choice.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Everyone else thinks there's a catch.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, A potion that was invented by the recently famous
 19th century potion inventor Rosemary Foxglove, for sharing a dream -- 
a, what is it called, lucid dream
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I love lucid dreams.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, They're incredible.
slytherin_daughter says, lewd, lewd, lewd, lewd
catlady_de_los_angeles says, lewcid dreams, MC?
al_ffn says, Like I said ... I've had an absolutely shit term ... I've been 
struggling with a lot of personal issues (that includes sex, or lack of) ...
 there've been nights when I was really, really pissed off with everybody and
 everything.  Best thing to do is relax, chill, and try to go with the flow.
elvenwren says, And if that doesn't work?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Keith, I am THE outcast.  Don't talk to me about
 not being able to become part of a group.  You are accepted here.
slytherin_daughter says, I'm more of an outcast than you are, Keith.
slytherin_daughter says, You're been around here longer.
al_ffn says, I'm no counsellor, I really can't offer anything approaching 
sensible advice ... but please, the whole point of these groups is that
 people fit in.  It doesn't matter ... i could babble about creed and colour
 till I was sick of it, but it's true.
elvenwren says, I'm the outcast here.. if anyone wants to talk that way.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I've not yet touched a single drop of alcohol,
 tobacco or drugs in my life.
slytherin_daughter says, If all else fails, diving under the sofa is fun!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Keith, we all worry about you and care about you
absolute_sue says, jana - never?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Not once, Sue.
slytherin_daughter says, Jana is perfect.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jana -- penicillin and aspirin are drugs
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, And trust me - it's easily available to me.
absolute_sue says, good for you, i'm impressed
slytherin_daughter  envys that kind of self control
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Illegal drugs, rather.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, And no, I'm far from perfect.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I'm not famous or perfect.
absolute_sue says, sure you're famous
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I AM NOT.
al_ffn says, Any idea how many times I got drunk before starting university.  
Absolutely 0.  First week, I was sick all the time, and I was desperately upset
 because I didn't fit in, but this so called lifestyle is nothing that you 
*need* to fit into. Lifestyle isn't the be all and end all, and I kinda 
think that's what's worrying you.  It's what worries me about myself.
george_weasleys_girlfriend has cold feet
keithfras says, You really don't need to do all this, I'm just being a prat. 
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Are your feet cold, Keith?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Mine are.
george_weasleys_girlfriend :rubs feet::
absolute_sue says, poor feet
elvenwren says, ah..
keithfras says, Not really, I'm too warm. When it's summer I wish it was winter, 
and in winter I wish it was summer. Urgh.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Keith: I did that in NYC
elvenwren says, I have no social life.. that depress me a lot.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Here in Los Angeles, in summer I wish it was winter,
 and in winter I enjoy it
keithfras says, I say and/or think I'm depressed at times, but whether or not
 I am is debatable.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Here in Chicago, we have two seasons: 
Winter and Construction.
slytherin_daughter says, my friends are all drug dealers and prostitutes. Top that. 
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, every one gets depressed sometimes
elvenwren suffering from lack of contact with anyone.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, it's when a fit of depression lasts longer
 than two weeks that medical science gets involved
keithfras says, Well, at least you actually know how to live in the real world.
al_ffn says, Truthfully, I think it sounds like you are.  Like I said, i can't
 offer anything approaching sensible advice though.  I'm an anthropologist,
 not a psychiatrist.
slytherin_daughter says, Can we just go back to being happy?
slytherin_daughter says, Please? 
slytherin_daughter  wishes desperately for the good ol' days of schnoogling and fish
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I laugh at the advice, incidentally, as I've 
been depressed since 5 years old and can't remember before that
absolute_sue says, in jersey we don't have seasons, we have pollution
elvenwren says, I wish I knew what the real world was like.
slytherin_daughter says, You're an anthropologist?
perenelle13 says, i get ridiculously depressed at times, but i of course half
 my friends are batshit crazy, so i lose.  ;>
al_ffn says, I do social anthropology
perenelle13 says, -i
slytherin_daughter says, *sigh* wow...
keithfras says, I feel a bit better now actually, thanks.
elvenwren says, in my neck of the woods we always say these are the seasons -- 
winter, winter, winter, mud, bug, very short summer, fall, winter
catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, I wish I could help you with isolation
perenelle13 says, an anthropomorphist?
perenelle13 grins.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, why do you live where you do?
slytherin_daughter  wants to be happy
elvenwren says, I love where I live.. I would want to trade it for anywhere.
george_weasleys_girlfriend also wants to be happy
slytherin_daughter says, But hey, since we're all sharing our sad feelings...
keithfras says, You can feel isolated regardless of where you live.
elvenwren says, I just lack social contact sometimes.. it's part of being 
home-schooled I guess.
al_ffn says, Everyone has it in their power to be happy.  You just need to be
 happy.  At uni, there are days when i feel horribly isolated.
elvenwren says, change sometimes to a lot
slytherin_daughter is away (Getting very depressed)
keithfras says, I'm fairly happy when I'm alone. I hate uncertainty so dealing
 with people is tricky.
george_weasleys_girlfriend is away (Off in Tahiti with George.)
keithfras says, Cheer up Emily, there's no need to be depressed just because
 I'm being an idiot.
perenelle13 says, mm.  i do the same thing.  evil.
perenelle13 says, i've resolved to stop being misanthropic and anti-social,
 though i'm not sure how successful i've been.  ick.
slytherin_daughter says, *lower lips shakes*
elvenwren says, I come online to relieve my isolation.. and find out there 
is so much I don't know about the real world..
slytherin_daughter  rolls eyes
elvenwren says, however.. I don't think I'm missing much.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, no one knows very much about the real world.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I ear a living that support four human adults and 
four cats and I dont know anything about the real world
elvenwren says, OTOH.. I'll probably end up living in a place like this all my 
life.. I love it so much!
elvenwren says, So then I wouldn't need to know about the real world.
george_weasleys_girlfriend is away (Off in Tahiti with George.)
george_weasleys_girlfriend is back.
al_ffn says, All the same, I sometimes feel very, very left out.  It's like,
 because I did nothing before coming to uni ... I didn't smoke, I didn't drink,
 I certainly wouldn't touch drugs ... sex ... out of the question.  I felt left
 out because I hadn't done these things like they all appeared to have. 
 Fact is, 80% of people are bluffing.
perenelle13 nods at al.  precisely true.
slytherin_daughter says, most people are virgins until they are nineteen.
slytherin_daughter says, (at least)
elvenwren says, Al.. that's totally true.
slytherin_daughter says, statisticly speaking.
elvenwren says, Emily.. that depends largely on where you live.
absolute_sue says, going to fanfiction.net
slytherin_daughter says, Most *Americans*, I should say.
absolute_sue says, bye
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, brb
perenelle13 says, also depends greatly on where in the U.S. you live.
absolute_sue is away (on vacation)
keithfras says, Cheerio.
slytherin_daughter says, That was an all-over American study that was done.
al_ffn says, I exceeded the length of a message.
al_ffn says, Damn
keithfras says, It's nearly 4 in the morning. I really should go to bed soon.
al_ffn says, Keith ... if you want ... email me or something ... no PM's or AIM's, 
illegal on uni network.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, back
creyentex enters
elvenwren says, .. not to keep this depressing.. but does anyone know good ways
 to deal with isolation?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Vikki, you love the place, you like the isolation,
 why is it a problem??????
elvenwren says, Umm.. because I go through days without talking to anyone.. 
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, And you want to talk to people?
slytherin_daughter is away (finding a handsome young man to schnoogle)
elvenwren says, sometimes
elvenwren says, Just know what the rest of the world is like on occasion.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Hey, Keith, got an AIM name?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I';ve heard that small town people meet friends 
at church, that their churches have children group and teen group and women's
 group and men's group and senior group and different Bible studeies grousp......
al_ffn says, Take me up on the email, if you want to.  No pressure at all. 
 I'm not a doctor, damnit!
keithfras says, Good Night, everyone. Thanks for everything.
slytherin_daughter says, Oh, you can't BOTH go.
george_weasleys_girlfriend cries
al_ffn says, Sleep well!
keithfras says, Watch me. It's five to four.
george_weasleys_girlfriend :waves sadly::
slytherin_daughter says, 'night, Keith. *sigh*
keithfras says, Goodbye.
keithfras leaves
elvenwren says, That's true.. partly.. but I couldn't really go to church..
al_ffn  flops on floor
slytherin_daughter  rubs temples
al_ffn  headache
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is there a food pantry or something you could
 volunteer at?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Nighty night, Al.
slytherin_daughter  headache, indeed.
elvenwren says, not really
elvenwren says, I'm volunteering at a bike race tomorrow.. 
slytherin_daughter says, Al, why did you leave?
perenelle13 peers at em.
slytherin_daughter  peers back at perenelle
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, brb
slytherin_daughter  and wonders why everyone calls her "em"
perenelle13 grins.
al_ffn says, There are certain aspects of ... uh, how I think my life is 
going, and how I think I am as a person, that I'm not happy with ... that I'm
 still not happy with.  And this was prompted by someone talking to me about
 my stories.
george_weasleys_girlfriend leaves
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, it's shorter than emily
elvenwren says, If it makes you understand why I feel like this.. imagine if
 everyone knew each other.. no one ever locked their doors/cars.. people leave 
expensive stuff lying around..
perenelle13 says, i just picked it up from everyone else.  also, i know 
two emilies, and both are "em", or "M".
perenelle13 says, meep.
perenelle13 says, sorreee.
elvenwren says, They don't worry about stuff..
al_ffn says, I'll call you Emily, if you'd like.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, why is that a problme?
slytherin_daughter blushes
slytherin_daughter says, either is fine
perenelle13 says, "em" is cute!
elvenwren says, umm.. It just feels weird sometimes.. when I talk to real world people
al_ffn says, Sorry creyentex ... we're being quite support group-y at the mo  
slytherin_daughter says, sounds a bit like "um" don't you think?
perenelle13 says, nuh-uh.
perenelle13 says, it sounds like em.
perenelle13 says, um sounds like um.
slytherin_daughter says, um. em.... Hey, you!
perenelle13 says, ;>
al_ffn says, Oh, hell bloody, it's 4 am
slytherin_daughter says, au
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Wren, there is no real world. I live in big
 city, Los Angles California, and lock my apartment and car, and I don't know
 shit about the Real World, whatever that is
elvenwren says, I'm no good at explaining things.
elvenwren says, <g>
slytherin_daughter says, Oh, don't tell me you're going to bed? *winces*
elvenwren says, nice to know
al_ffn says, I'll stay for a few more minutes
perenelle13 wonders what the people talking to al about his stories were
 saying that prompted all the introspectiveness.
perenelle13 says, mew.
elvenwren says, Did you say we were going to get a snitch! cookie tomorrow?
perenelle13 says, yesyesyessnitchcookie!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, And I would be a total uselss mess in the country 
-- I where these little sandals and Tim ;s father's dogs bite my feet
al_ffn says, Exactly
slytherin_daughter  glomps Al
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, altho' I would rather you imagined city woman 
in nylons and heels, more flattering than the truth, just as inappropriate
al_ffn  glomps Emily
elvenwren says, <g>
creyentex is away (Auto-Away)
elvenwren says, Nice to know..
slytherin_daughter is away (finding a handsome young man to schnoogle)
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wish people would't ask AL what his problem
 is when I'm around. because he clearly doesn't want to tell, so I am doing
 my damnedest to suppress the obvious speculations
al_ffn says, I do ... but I don't
al_ffn says, This was exactly the problem working this through at university.
slytherin_daughter says, well, I wasn't trying to be a bitch about it.
perenelle13 says, (wasn't trying to pry or anything)
elvenwren being good and not asking..
elvenwren says, I figured if Al wanted to tell us.. he probably would have told us already.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I know, all you guys are trying to be helpful to Al,
 I can tell just by looking, but I have a button that gets pushed even tho' no one
 meant to push it
al_ffn says, No, you've hit it right on the head, Emily.  And don't worry about prying.  It's just not something I'm sure of yet ... and based on one or two cursory experimentation, I can't make up my mind.
slytherin_daughter  pulls the zipper on lips
absolute_sue leaves
perenelle13 says, ow.  cat jumped on chest.
perenelle13 says, ow.
perenelle13 says, mmp.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, tell cat to kiss it and make it better
perenelle13 laughs.
elvenwren says, I just duct taped my foot to my monitor.. 
elvenwren says, brb
elvenwren is away (be right back)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, how can you leave when duct taped to the monitor?
al_ffn leaves
al_ffn enters
al_ffn says, Shit ... f-ing thing booted me off again!
perenelle13 says, duct tape.  are there *any* limits to its usefulness??
perenelle13 boggles.
al_ffn says, Oh, no ... sorry.
elvenwren is back.
elvenwren says, Sorry.. getting my foot off
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, how can you leave when duct taped to the monitor?
elvenwren says, Don't let me play with duct tape
elvenwren says, It is dangerous
perenelle13 says, apparently so!
elvenwren says, I didn't leave.. I just put the away message on so I couldn't type
 things while I moved my foot hard
[deletion]
al_ffn says, No, but I feel very, very stupid now.  There has to be some sort of olive branch
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, e-,mail pictures of flowers to her
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, send her an apology card
elvenwren says, e-mail pics of flowers?
elvenwren says, That's pretty funny actually.
slytherin_daughter says, Well. I had better go now.
elvenwren says, <g>
george_weasleys_girlfriend enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Emily, blow him a kiss before you go
perenelle13 is away (Auto-Away)
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Yay, Al is still here!
[deletion]
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, You call me famous when I'm not, but it certainly
 doesn't mean you're an insensitive bitch.
al_ffn says, I have met some of the most decent, lovely, caring, bloody good 
people you could ever hope to meet since I've been in the fandom!  I have had
 a great time here, I hope to continue.  But I have not met a SINGLE fucking 
person here who I have not thought - they would be really cool to meet with,
 or they must be really nice.  I have mental pictures of those of you I've not
 seen photos of
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, I live in Los Angeles with the worst public 
transportation of any metro area and I can't drive a car -- can not.  I have an 
incapacitating phobia against driving
perenelle13 is back.
perenelle13 says, um.  far be it from me to interfere, because really i don't 
know anything about anything (or anyone), but... it sounds like the other 
person was trying to be silly and clever, not to personally attack anyone.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Nonetheless I have a job and make a living and get along
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, What do you think I look like, Al? *waggles eyebrows*
al_ffn says, and I reckon you're all really sound, generous, kind people.
slytherin_daughter says, Just out of mild curiosity, is there any chance in hell
 you'd tell me who said that?
perenelle13 says, and even if they do think yer insensitive, fuck 'em.  you know 
you're not, and the vast majority of people know you're not, so there you are.
al_ffn says, I somehow picture you with red hair, Jana.  Maybe some Weasley association.
elvenwren wonders how she would drive in traffic.
elvenwren says, Al.. you are talking about everyone except for me..
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Red hair?  Really?  ::frowns and plays with long 
brown hair::  I might look cool with red hair::
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, my friend Lee's husband does my income taxes for 
me because I freak out at trying to do them
al_ffn says, Long brown ... see ... *shrugs* ... the point is it doesn't matter
elvenwren says, I don't fit sound, generous or nice.. rather unfortunately.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, What else, Al?  What color eyes?  Glasses?
  Tattoos?  Freckles?  What sort of clothing?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, You fit humble.  
al_ffn says, And elven, it doesn't matter that I've only met you tonight in a 
single chatroom.
slytherin_daughter says, Well, this is just a love fest, huh?
elvenwren feels rather honored.
al_ffn says, Glasses ... I don't see glasses
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Good.  None exist.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Am I tall or short?  Pretty or homely?
al_ffn says, I doubt you have tattoos either ...
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, This is fun.  
al_ffn says, but this isn't my point
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Except for the big dragon one across my chest, no.
george_weasleys_girlfriend :giggles::
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I dunno, AL, you might get along with Dai in 
person, you are one of those people with a talent for seeing good in everyone,
 like my poor friend Jim M who keeps telling me that this person or that person
 has good intentions
al_ffn says, oh ye Gods
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (so I freaked out when I asked Jim M if he knew
 Jim Fl, and Jim M said: "I have absolutely no use for him")
slytherin_daughter says, Well, there we go.
al_ffn says, Maybe one day ... maybe this'll all just be a storm in a teacup.
al_ffn says, Elven ... for what reason did I think you lived in Germany?
elvenwren says, Umm.. I don't know.
al_ffn says, Hmmm ... how bizarre.
elvenwren says, I do speak German however..
elvenwren says, maybe I starting typing unknowingly in German
elvenwren says, Maybe it is because my English is so horrible today.. who knows..
elvenwren says, strange though
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, your english has not been horrible today
slytherin_daughter is away (not in the office)
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Your first language isn't English?
george_weasleys_girlfriend  didn't know that
al_ffn says, Can't cope with this shit at 4 am
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, let's invent a country in which people don't
 have to insult themselves to be polite
elvenwren says, My first language is English.. 
al_ffn says, It's getting f-ing light outside
slytherin_daughter says, *sighs*
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Go bynies AL, have happy dreams
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, hugs and kisses
slytherin_daughter says, That's what happens at four.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Oh, thought you meant that by "my english is 
so horrible today"
elvenwren says, well.. I grew up learning French and German at the same time.
george_weasleys_girlfriend :gives Al a kiss on the nose::
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Off to bed with you.
elvenwren says, I've been speaking in French for the past week.. not thinking 
in English..
elvenwren says, Night Al!
george_weasleys_girlfriend :waves to Al::
perenelle13 says, g'night, Al.  : >
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, is : > a kitty smiley?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says,  > : >
perenelle13 says, no, that's ^.^  : > is just ... my little weirdface.
perenelle13 says, but it could be a kitty smiley.
al_ffn says, Have to go to bed.  Emily, if still at computer ..Goodnight!
al_ffn says, Goodnight
al_ffn leaves
perenelle13 waves.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, so go already! go with blessings
perenelle13 says, al is just too cool.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, do the rest of you want to go too? 
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, pretty soon i am
elvenwren says, I probably should study for a couple hours..
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, it's only 8:30 by you, right, rita?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, it's 10:30 here
elvenwren says, 11:30 here..
slytherin_daughter says, Well, i have to go eat dinner now.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, 8:30
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, AL is a perfect sweetheart, QED
slytherin_daughter says, I'll see you all next week.
george_weasleys_girlfriend :waves::
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I'll probably be in here tomorrow, actually.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, In case anyone's interested.
elvenwren says, However.. I'm going to be missing next week..
slytherin_daughter says, tomorrow?
elvenwren says, When?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, No school.  Memorial Day.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Same time, probably.  Afternoon.
slytherin_daughter says, I'll swing by
elvenwren says, I can be in here tomorrow.. late though.. 
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Al and Keith are both sweethearts.  Poor Keith. 
 He reminds me so much of me.
perenelle13 says, 'night, emiwee.  : >
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, Keith, like me at his age
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Night night to everyone leaving.
slytherin_daughter says, ^_^
elvenwren says, Is anyone staying?
elvenwren says, I hope so..
slytherin_daughter says, Night!
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I might - for another few minutes.
slytherin_daughter leaves
elvenwren says, bye
perenelle13 says, well, i have nothing effing better to do.
perenelle13  >
perenelle13 grins.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, LOL - it's almost like it was in the beginning. 
 Just me and Rita.
elvenwren says, I should be studying.. but we can all ignore that, right?
elvenwren grins.
perenelle13 says, ok, thanks jana!  ;>
perenelle13 says, ok = oh
perenelle13 is not really actually here.
elvenwren says, Where are you then?
elvenwren says, ok
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, just kidding perenelle
perenelle13 says, heh.  s'alright, jana.  nobody knows me anyway.  it's very sad.  ;>
[deleted comments about anti-depressants)
elvenwren says, I think they should just make people live in the woods for a week..
elvenwren says, It does wonders for you.
elvenwren says, and your life.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, i wanna go live in the woods ::cries::
elvenwren invites Jana to come visit.
perenelle13 says, it didn't do much for those blair witch people.
perenelle13 grins.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, that was fiction
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, lol!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, <g>
elvenwren says, what's blair witch?
perenelle13 says, yes, clearly, rita.   
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, a movie
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, horror movie about 3 people in the woods
elvenwren says, Yet another thing I've no clue about.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, where do you live, elven?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I didn't see it either (by choice, don't like horror movies)
elvenwren says, Near (30 miles) Lake Placid, New York..
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, good movie actually, for being what it was
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, genuinely scary
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, if you have imagination that is
perenelle13 says, yeah, where that you managed to escape the ridiculous furor
 that was the blair witch "phenomenon"?
perenelle13 says, yikes.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, You have nearby cities? Albany?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, if you're scared by scream, don't bother
jamesf991 leaves
elvenwren says, Albany's 2 1/2 hours..
perenelle13 says, and here i was thinking it was some far off remote island.
perenelle13 says, wow.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, ever see the movie "lake placid"?
perenelle13 says, that's impressive, then.
elvenwren says, That was about a place in Maine
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, ever go to a city for a weekend shopping trip?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, i know  just saying though
elvenwren says, I go to Montreal a lot.
perenelle13 says, see, i contend that for people that grew up around wooded areas,
 blair witch was just nothing more than *laughable*.
elvenwren says, And Burlington (that's a great city)
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, guess you don't have much of an imagination then
perenelle13 says, and granted, i didn't bother to see it in the theatre, but
 when i finally got around to it, i just laughed throughout.  i dunno why, 
but i just didn't find it remotely as terrifying as it was made out to be.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, burlington coat factory   lol
perenelle13 says, but then, i suppose you could chalk that up to the hype.
elvenwren says, never heard of that
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, okay, then if you go to NYC or Boston, it won't
 be a big culture shock
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, it's an annoying commercial
elvenwren says, I can't get TV..
perenelle13 says, burlington, MA?  burlington, VT?
elvenwren says, VT
perenelle13 says, you can't get TV?
elvenwren says, nope
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't watch TV
perenelle13 says, wow.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I pay for cable because my three human dependents watch it
elvenwren says, I suppose I could get a satellite dish.. but I never wanted to.
elvenwren says, No cable where I am.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I'm not missing very much by not watching TV
elvenwren says, I don't miss TV at all. that's why I spend long hours with fanfiction
perenelle13 says, i watch very little tv.  i'm unfortunately rather obsessed w/ The
 West Wing, and then there's X-Files, and Red Sox games.  but that's about it.
perenelle13 says, but strangely enough, after i discovered fanfic this past winter,
 i stopped watching tv at all.   ;>
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I listen to NPR radio (how middle-aged of me)
 but you can listen to radio stations on the Web, dont need to be in broadcast range
elvenwren says, I do that lots.
perenelle13 says, or fall.  or whenever it was.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Perenelle, those are all good shows (well, Red Sox........
perenelle13 grins at rita.
elvenwren says, I listen to NPR for Prairie Home Companion on the web..
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I just don't have time
perenelle13 says, yay NPR!
perenelle13 says, NPR is good.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, See, Wren, you aren't as left out as you think you are 
elvenwren says, <g>
perenelle13 says, what's a prairie home companion?
elvenwren says, Maybe.. I'm just faking it a bit.
elvenwren says, about knowing as much as I do.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Garrison Keillor's radio show, Music guests 
and Lake Wobegone -- actually,  is there still a Lke Wobegone anymore?
elvenwren says, It's not a real town.. 
elvenwren says, But GK's show is still on lots.
elvenwren says, Lake Wobegone on there.
perenelle13 boggles.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Michael Feldman, WHAT D'YOU KNOW?
elvenwren says, 'Where all the women are strong, the men good looking, and 
the children above average.
elvenwren says, Who is Michael Feldman?
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, MICHAEL FELDMAN RULES!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, a radio show, pseudo-quiz show, stupid cynical
 humor, I love it
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, He hosts this radio show called "What do you know?"
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, It's hilarious.
elvenwren says, What station?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, KPCC out here
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, WBEZ i think
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, maybe search the Web for your area?
elvenwren says, ok..
elvenwren says, I pick up static on my radio.. but that's why I have the web.
george_weasleys_girlfriend says, gonna get going   night night guys
elvenwren loves Wylla (her computer).
george_weasleys_girlfriend leaves
elvenwren says, quiet in here now..
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, quiet, three people, one absentee who might be saving transcript 
elvenwren says, I don't understand reading chatscripts..if you aren't there.. 
you don't get a lot of the jokes..
elvenwren says, Let alone having the time to read it.
perenelle13 says, i never got that either.  not at all.
perenelle13 says, i mean, the fun part about chat is the interactive thing.  
chatscripts just seem silly.
elvenwren says, yeah
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yesterday, having read PR 1-2-3, I re-read 
transcript from -- 2 or 3 wwks ago, and now understood the jokes of the 
people about PR (Personal Risks, Rebecca's fic)
elvenwren says, I thought that was last week..
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I AM GOING to go back to week before last and 
research some of the URLs that I only glanced at for a second in real time
elvenwren says, You haven't read PR IV?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, It was when she had just posted chapter 2, whatever
 week that was
perenelle13 says, i'm sad i missed that.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I logged on this morning and found the plug for 
PR 4 and was about to read it, when suddenly the chat started, 
perenelle13 says, i'm really liking PR.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I can't keep up with the chat, when it gets
 going, even if I'm not doing ANYTHING else
elvenwren says, The chat started this morning?
perenelle13 says, it is gooood. the best chapter yet, by far.
elvenwren says, yes..
elvenwren says, I love PR!George
perenelle13 says, yes!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Morning Pacific Daylight Time -- maybe 1 hour 
or 1.5 hr before scheduled start time
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and now we are 5 hurs after scheduled stop time
perenelle13 says, i can't stop gushing about her George characterization. 
 i really think it's brilliant.
elvenwren says, I didn't get in here until 3:15 EST
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, George the hero
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, shouldn't Fred at least appear? They're 
supposed to be inseparable
perenelle13 says, he's funny without being ridiculous and irritating.
perenelle13 says, eh, but they're different ppl.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, whenever I get around to reading Rebecca's stuff,
 I find that it includes, she has written and already posted, events like the
 ones I am second-drafting
perenelle13 says, i find it plausible that one might be more perceptive
 about some things than the other.
elvenwren says, yeah
elvenwren agrees with both..
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, brb
elvenwren says, I've starting writing some fiction of my own..
perenelle13 says, and i get the impression that george has some inklings about
 maud; he has an idea that something big is going on.  and hey, they don't share a brain.
perenelle13 says, rita:  that must be irritating as hell.
elvenwren says, Seems like George has a bigger connection with Maud than Fred.
perenelle13 says, exactly.
elvenwren says, I have great trouble using my own characterizations of
 characters when I write fanfiction.
perenelle13 says, i mean, i suppose that's just because of what we've seen of
 his interaction w/ her.  but i get the impression he's got more of a 'clue' about her.  or cares more about her.
elvenwren says, Obviously. <g>
elvenwren says, We shall find out next Sunday.
perenelle13 says, perhaps.
perenelle13 says, eh.  i'm a technically v.good writer.  but i have issues getting
 ideas out of my head.  it's rather upsetting.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, if you can use JKR's characterizations of 
characters, that is a big plus
perenelle13 says, which means i basically have to stick to academic essays.  sad!
elvenwren says, Well.. I just finished one fic.. that wasn't very in-character..
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, getting ideas out of your Head??
perenelle13 says, yeeesss.
elvenwren says, I'm trying to stick to my own characterizations of JKR's..
elvenwren says, do you know what I mean?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, meaning your ideas have absorbed other people's 
ideas and therefore are insufficictenely original?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, or that the ideas are in your head and won't come out?
perenelle13 says, i have good technical writing ability.  i'm fairly creative. 
 but when it comes to fiction... well, yeah.  i suppose.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, yes
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I am not good at fiction, I gave up trying to write
 fiction from age 15 to age 42
perenelle13 says, it's weird, though... particularly with fan fiction, if i 
happen to come across something that's not terribly well-written, i re-write it in my head while reading.  dialogue, narrative, everything.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Perenelle, be a beta reader
perenelle13 says, this is why i don't read badly-written crap.  ;>
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I objected to the statement that a beta reader is
 not an editor ,because a Real Editor (my late mother was one, but for science not fiction)
perenelle13 says, see, i'm fairly sure i'd be *great* at beta-ing.  but everyone
 wants already-established fanfic writers.  this i am not.  it's depressing.  :<
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, like the Archetypal Maxell Perkins, does ALL the 
things recommended for beta readers
perenelle13 says, exactly! i agree.
perenelle13 says, or at least, this is how it should ideally work.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, What kind of story would you like to beta? If
 you'd like to beta a very  slowly growing Saturday Morning Movie Serial type 
of MWPPL adventure with very little if any slash......
perenelle13 says, and hell, every single blessed person i've ever dated has
 been a writer.  i'm *cursed*.  do you know how many novels and short stories 
i've edited?  ;>
perenelle13 says, hmm.  that sounds great, actually.  i'm fine w/ slash for 
the most part (Snitch! is in my top-5 list), excepting wacky pairings that 
just don't make sense to my poor wittle head.  ;>
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, the first couple of episodes are in my folder 
on HPff and I need nagging and encouragement to keep on writing on it -- the 
current episode in draft contains a pregnancy and a murder, neither of which 
I know anything about in real life
perenelle13 says, heh.
perenelle13 says, there goes "write what you know", eh?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, so how much do any of us know about HP magic?
perenelle13 says, exactly what i was thinking!
perenelle13 says, i guess most HP fanfic flies in the face of that precept.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, if you have extra time, please look at my 
episodes already posted, and if you would like to beta the next episode,
 e-mail me (how selfish or me) and I will e-mail it to you -- what level
 of WORD can you read?
perenelle13 says, but i always thought it a somewhat pedestrian concept anyway. 
 if i wrote what i knew... oh wait.  i don't write.  nevermind.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, elvenwren may have fallen asleep
perenelle13 says, the latest should be fine with my versio of MS Office.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, we can sneak away, so she would wake up alone
perenelle13 says, heehee.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I'm catlady@wicca.net
perenelle13 says, okay, i'm minx@thirteen.net
perenelle13 says, feel free to email it to me anytime!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, thank you!
perenelle13 says, what sorts of comments are you looking for?
perenelle13 says, plot devel, characterization, the usual?
perenelle13 says, or not that specific?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, all of them -- plot, characterization,
 things I wrote that don't make any sense
perenelle13 says, *nod*  okee.
angela_burgess enters
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, oh, a new person
perenelle13 says, no, cat, cannot sit on keyboard right this second.
perenelle13 says, ooh!  a newcomer!
angela_burgess says, hi!
perenelle13 says, let's pounce on her.
perenelle13 says, *pounce*!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Angela Burgess, Hi
perenelle13 says, hallo, ms. burgess.
angela_burgess says, are we discussing anything?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, we usually are no longer here at this hour
angela_burgess says, i know, i was surprised to see anyone here
perenelle13 says, yes.  we were having a heated discussio of russian drama.
perenelle13 says, er.  actually i'm just kidding.
angela_burgess says, oh, sorry
perenelle13 grins.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, or if you were looking for a private chatroom to

angela_burgess says, oh, good, i couldn't join in *that*
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, we could go away, but elevenwren is still logged on,
 and she might wake up
perenelle13 says, but should you *want* to discuss Russian drama, particularly of 
the 19th century variety, i wouldn't object.
perenelle13 grins.
angela_burgess says, i probably would want to, if i knew anything about it! =)
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Even *I* know that there were 19th century 
Russian NOVESLS!!!!!!, but was there drama?
perenelle13 says, it disrupts my life, if you must know the truth.
perenelle13 says, i have a disturbing penchant for Chekhov.
perenelle13 sighs dramatically.
perenelle13 sticks her tongue out at rita.  you dork.
angela_burgess says, well, sorry to run, but my husband is calling sleepily from the bed
perenelle13 says, well, it was lovely meeting you.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oh, yeah, Checkhov, there is never a day when
 there isn't some Equity Waiver theater presenting something of Chekhov,
 how could I have forgotten?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, good night angela
perenelle13 says, do drop by again.  i promise to not talk about 19th Russian lit.
angela_burgess says, good night!
perenelle13 says, 
angela_burgess leaves
perenelle13 says, that was odd.
perenelle13 says, do you think perhaps i scared her away?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, or she was looking for a private chatroom

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I want to edit the bunch of roses so that 
each rose is a different color, and I want to try some of Dee's that I don't
 have in my library
perenelle13 says, "why do you always wear black?"
perenelle13 says, "i am in mourning for my life."
creyentex leaves
perenelle13 says, hee.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't recognize the quote
perenelle13 says, the one you just did had each rose a different color.
perenelle13 says, it was cool.
perenelle13 says, it's from The Seagull.  Checkhov.  ;>
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, altho' the A is more romantic that 'black doesn't
 show the dirt'
perenelle13 hides.
perenelle13 says, yeah, you can always count on masha for lines like that.  
fucking priceless, i tell you.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, the bunch of roses is an existing macro that
 has more than 3 roses, but they ren't in color
perenelle13 says, ohh...so the above is one you've changed?
perenelle13 says, cool.
