Various things...

Hi you guys!

Do you mean people actually live without computers?!? What a horrid 
thought! ;-)

Mine shan't be back until at least tomorrow, but thanks to my stars 
that there's such a thing a public access. He he he...

To answer a really old question- To Fanfic or not to Fanfic. I'd have 
to say that I don't regret fanfic at all. But I also don't deny that 
it may have tainted my view of canon. I dunno, but if it weren't for 
fanfic, groups like this, and such I don't think Harry Potter would 
have sustained my interest.

BTW, Heather I found Twinings. It is good tea. And to Yael (side 
question- how do you pronounce your name? Yay-l?) I made Falafel this 
weekend. Yum! Now I understand your rant about American food. Well 
sorta :-) 

About Grits, I honestly had never thought of sweetening them. And 
whoever said a self-respecting southerner wouldn't, well when it comes 
to being a southerner I wouldn't call myself self respecting! I'll 
have to try it!

As for pronouncing things and grammar and such- I know that mine's 
atrocious (argh! now I'm worried is atrocious spelt correctly?). I 
find that since I'm a horrid ;-) proofreader I rarely catch my own 
mistakes and often miss other(')s. My biggest pet peeve is probably 
pronouncing things incorrectly. I know I annoy my friends and family 
by doing this, but...(worst of all I'm just as guilty!)

Life Questions...The one about friends or soulmates is difficult. I 
think that's perhaps because I haven't the slightest as to who my 
soulmate might be. So right now I'd choose friends. That may change in 
the future though.

SML (?) posted those nineteen things and one was about the fine line 
between hobbies and obsessions. At least in the world of Harry Potter 
I don't think, no I KNOW there isn't one! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Neil, How lucky you were! Perhaps yet another Mauruder turn animagus 
horse? Hmmm...I'm actually quite suprised that they would let a car 
into the box to watch anyway...

Have a good time in Ireland Jeralyn! I don't guess you'd want me to 
house sit for you whilst you're gone, huh? (I've been wanting to get 
to NYC sometime this spring...) ;-)

I've really got to go, and there's more I could write though I can't 
recall at the moment....Now I should try to catch up on the main list!

Scott
