Me:

Sorry, I should have added this to my last mail.  I say it just like 
"ridiculous' TOO, Julie!!   In fact it's one of those HPisms that has entered 
my every day vocabulary.   I know it IS a real word, but now I say it like a 
spell. Whenever my boyfriend or one of my friends is bringing me down or 
taking something too seriously, I say with a flourish of my arm and a deep 
voice, "RIDICULOUS!" 

Audra  <-- such a dork
