Oh hello everyone!

saying hello.  I'm 17 and my name is Kathryn or Kate, on the net I'm
Persphone, I'm in the HPforgrownups chat every Sunday for those who know
me.

The evils of Dr. Suess week! Altough I can't symphitize with you there
with the elementary thing, yesterday in school, high school, we had
"green eggs and ham" for lunch.  And the eggs were green, needless to
say I did not eat lunch that day.  Food-coloured eggs are  rather
unapitizing no?

I think that would have been better as well, they were just... gross!  I
think I will skip on  eggs for awhile now.
