<<Sounds like a cool sweater just the same!  What a
mom.  I hope you like maroon better than Ron does.

Ellen and others who prefer Fred to George or George
to Fred, tell me: what's the difference between them,
as you see it?  I can't tell who's talking half the
time, much less notice a difference in their
personalities.

First of all, I would like to apologize for taking so
long to respond to this, but I have been in a sans
computer state, otherwise known as a "vacation."

I think it has been discussed in the past, or maybe it
already has and I haven't read it yet (Ah, the joys of
lists) but some differences come out between Fred and
George in GoF. However, these distinctions are
independent from my own preference, as it existed
before GoF. Having said that, I'm afraid that my
reasons may not be entirely satisfactory. In my
not-exactly-grown-up state of mind of 18 (don't throw
me off the list, here), my friend Gwyn, also a HP
enthusiast, and I decided we were quite enamoured by
the twins, in this partial alternate universe that we
live in. In typical teenage girl fashion, we decided
to figure out 'whose twin was whose,' and I picked
Fred because, for some reason, "His finest hour!" (in
reaction to Ron's "He (Scabbers) bit Goyle for us
once!") cracked me up nearly to the point of cardiac
arrest, and this was not an objection on Gwyn's point
because her favorite WeasleyTwinsQuote was "But we're
not stupid--we know we're called Gred and Forge."
(George's).

So that's your unsatisfactory reason. Or maybe lack of
a reason.

I've passed the compliment on to my mum. No, I don't
mind maroon; it was one of the school colors of my old
High School, so I suppose that's a good thing.

Always,
NO DAY BUT TODAY,
Ellen

"So, Janey, how was school?"
"It was okay."
"Just okay?"
"No, dad, it was spectacular."
