until we determine what's wrong with Ian.
dee_97527 says, Is he sick?
  gypsycaine says, we're having a few problems.
  gypsycaine says, the doctor thinks it might be Hirshsprung's.
dee_97527 says, That is not good
  gypsycaine says, at least I don't have to negotiate for days off of 
work.
  hert0661isme says, Hirsh?????
  gypsycaine says, (and I have full medicall--on the dole)
  hert0661isme says, if it is too gruesome wait unitl I have finished

  hert0661isme says, have people been having problems with ff.net 
today?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, YES
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think ffnet is completely down today 
  hert0661isme says, glad it is not just me that cannot get anything!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, that is really irritating, that it is

  gypsycaine says, junk food?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oreos and a glass of milk here
dee_97527 says, my was leftovers
siriusgeologist says, I'm just here drinking water...how healthy
  gypsycaine says, as far as junk food--wintergreen lozenges, and 
Riesens!
Your buddy princess_sarah_belle is on pager
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, What rea Riesens?
  gypsycaine says, and black cherry pop.
  hert0661isme says, have finished burger - abou to make cuppa - then 
cake when friend gets back!
  gypsycaine says, Put out by Storck:  If you love chocolate, then 
our wonderful Riesen is made for you!  We start with chewy, long 
lasting chocolate carmels...then cover each one with rich chocolate.
  gypsycaine says, <made in Germany>  Same company, I believe as 
Wethers'
  hert0661isme says, how much did they pay you for the ad?
  gypsycaine says, it's the back of the package.
peeves23 is away, recording, but will be back in 10-15 minutes
  gypsycaine says, I think I'd be a "chocolate frogaholic".
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, chocolate covered caramels -- Tim 
would like that
  gypsycaine says, www.candystore.com
  gypsycaine says, the site to find all that candy you adored in the 
70's!
Your buddy hime_alyianna_kage is on pager
  gypsycaine says, if anyone remembers going to Ben Franklins, taking 
a dollar, and filling a bag with candy!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oh, it's another entrance to 
candydirect.com 
  gypsycaine says, friend told me about it.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, candydirect.com was the only place I 
could find anise de Flavigny
  gypsycaine says, I figured that if anyone wanted Riesens that might 
be the place to get them!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, they sell in wholesale quantity: the 
anise de Flavigny come as twelve tins in a cardboard sales display 
(you know, the display that sits on the counter next to the cash 
register to tempt impulse buying)
  gypsycaine says, ahhh
  gypsycaine says, first time there.
  gypsycaine says, I will visit again--candy-lover!
blaise_42 enters
blaise_42 says, hello
  hert0661isme says, hello
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I got one lot of anise and one lot of 
violet, but they didn't have jasmine which is what I really was 
looking for 
dee_97527 says, howdy
  gypsycaine says, it all started when Kat and I talked about Bit O 
Honey--and I tried to explain it to her.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Blaise, we evolved from junk food 
to Candy
  gypsycaine says, Jasmine?
  gypsycaine says, hi!
blaise_42 says, I'm sorry?  who evolved?

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Christina
  gypsycaine says, HI!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Blaise: the subject matter of our 
discussion
gypsycaine . o O ( this site is weird--all the old candy! )
blaise_42 says, aha
changeling_de says, Hi everyone!
gypsycaine . o O ( my gawd, they have goobers! )
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, anise de Flavigny is pills of candy. 
each pill is made by starting with an anise seed and washing sugar 
water over it and evaporating the water
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, for kazillions of iterations taking 
twelve hours even nowdays that it is automatic to build up thick 
enough shell of layers around the tiny anise seed.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, candydirect.com offered 
different 'flavours': anise, rose, violet, cannel (cinnamon), and 
IIRC cafe.
  
Escape from the browser!  Use the Yahoo! Chat Client - 
http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/chat.html

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I assume that anise 'flavour' is that 
the sugar was dissolved in plain water
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and rose 'flavour' is the sugar was 
dissolved in rose water, and so on
gypsycaine . o O ( Skor~!!!!!! )
siriusgeologist says, not to change the subject from candy...but 
whats happening to the tour plan
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, After a week of silence on the Tour e-
group, I posted a long messages about various places that maybe 
should be included on the tour
  hert0661isme says, it needs someone to organise things (not me - I 
am far too busy)
siriusgeologist says, is nick heading things up?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I was hoping that people would reply 
with Yes, they want to go to this place, and No, they do not want to 
go that place, and I left out this other place
  gypsycaine says, i prolly wont get to go, unless it's next year--I 
need the vacation time, and until I get hired, I can't build that up.
siriusgeologist says, I really want to go but it will depend on time 
of year and babysitting as I am not bringing 3 kids with me
blaise_42 says, I can't really go if it's during termtime unless I 
only join you for a day or two
  gypsycaine says, I haven't a babysitter--Ian will have to come with 
me.
  hert0661isme says, i cant go until after I have done finals
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, And also volunteer information about 
travel time between the different places (I tried to list them in 
geographic order but I know from nothing about Britain and was 
relying on on-line maps)
dee_97527 says, Our daughter gets married next year -- we will spend 
our vacation then
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Blaise, when are there breaks from 
school? SOmeone mentioned Octrober half-term? 
blaise_42 says, I don't get halfterms because I'm at university 
rather than school.  Schools do have a halfterm, normally the last 
week of October
gypsycaine . o O ( aside, speaking of off-term, are there colleges in 
US that are out already? )

siriusgeologist says, they should be in the thick of things at this 
point...
  gypsycaine says, no, mom's friends were trying to leave Florida 
(round-trip) this past weekend for a funeral, and the tickets cost 
1,000.
  gypsycaine says, she told me it was the college break, and I told 
her I didn't think so--I thought it was "palm beach!"
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Maybe it is not college students 
burning up the airways to FL, but the lawyers hired by political 
parties
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oh, you said that while I was still 
typing!
  gypsycaine says, exactly.
  gypsycaine says,  
  gypsycaine says, i thought maybe the airlines got greedy.
  gypsycaine says, if they were just coming out, it would be cheaper, 
but the back is the killer.
  gypsycaine says, hopefully we don't have something like that during 
the tour!
  gypsycaine says, when's the peak months for England-travel?
  hert0661isme says, august
  hert0661isme says, july
changeling_de leaves
  gypsycaine says, that's when the $$ it the highest....
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, A while ago, on Marketplace, the Savvy 
Traveler said that air fare to Britain and hotels in Britain are on-
peak from Spring thru October and from Thanksgiving thru New Year's 
Day, so the early part of November is the low-fare window
gypsycaine . o O ( i'm going to throw Christina a lifeline next time 
she comes in--to keep her in chat! )
  hert0661isme says, thats when it iss highest to get out of the uk - 
do not know about other wa
Your buddy flying_ford_anglia is in chat

  gypsycaine sneaks to the door.
  gypsycaine pulls out her wand.
  gypsycaine waits.....
  gypsycaine winks at Rita.
peeves23 says, why did everyone just shout neil! ?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Shush, she's playing a Fred and George 
joke

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Other than hurricans, the early part

macro.
peeves23 says, hehe

flying_ford_anglia says, Ouch - that was painful... it wouldn't let

flying_ford_anglia says, Yes, I could slither under the door then
  gypsycaine ticks off two in the air.
  gypsycaine says, I need more victims.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, As a frog, you can travel in my purse 
to save on air fare
flying_ford_anglia says, I would suffocate...
  gypsycaine says, he could be mailed to Chicago.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, It's a BIG purse
  gypsycaine says, there to meet with Nick, and see the windows.
  hert0661isme says, will do at some stage - to go with the tea
flying_ford_anglia says, I'd rather go by courier...
  gypsycaine says, Fed Ex?
flying_ford_anglia says, Is it full of Galleons?
  gypsycaine grins.
flying_ford_anglia says, I'd be packed in a crate...
  gypsycaine does the counterspell, and restores the talking frog.
flying_ford_anglia says, Neil pops up!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, it's full of all kinds of things, 
including 'golden' Sacajawea dollars.....
  gypsycaine notices Neil has a bit of a green tinge to his face, 
still, though.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, a cell phone
gypsycaine . o O ( and a craving for flies. )
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, food
flying_ford_anglia says, That's my normal complexion...
flying_ford_anglia says, Food?
  gypsycaine says, the one novel I did complete had that in it.
flying_ford_anglia says, Oh...by purse, you mean handbag.
  gypsycaine says, The female mage got mad at the lead man and 
changed him into a frog.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and when she changed him back, he had 
a craving for flies .... insect kind or zipper kind?
flying_ford_anglia says, Such a fairytale cliché...hmmm
  gypsycaine says, maybe I'' type it up, and plop it up.
  gypsycaine says, It's not Fanfic, but it's not pultizer either.
  gypsycaine says, insect.
  gypsycaine says, the whole things cliche'filled.
flying_ford_anglia says, Just change the frog to Draco and you're 
set...
  gypsycaine says, it was started when I was a teenager.
  gypsycaine says, ack.
flying_ford_anglia says, It's your life's work then?
  gypsycaine says, it's like a Merlin's daughter type.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, changing the leading man to Draco 
instaed of chaning him to a frog?
  gypsycaine says, no, that's the one in the green folder.
  gypsycaine says, Peg should get a good laugh from that one...
flying_ford_anglia says, Making the leading frogman Draco...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Just SAYING 'Merlin's Daughter' SOUNDS 
like a Mary Sue
  gypsycaine says, It's the Arthur-rip off theory.
  gypsycaine says, instead of Merlin, there's a female.
  gypsycaine says, I did have one part in there I liked.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Not that there's anything INHERENTLY 
wrong with Mary-Sue
  gypsycaine says, she hid herself as a man to do some healing work 
on the battlefield, after he ORDERED her not to leave the castle.
  gypsycaine says, when she told the main physic who she was, she 
added to his "what should I call you" hey, you.
changeling_de leaves
  gypsycaine says, later, someone is treated, and tells that when he 
asked what the healer's name was he was told it was "Hay Yew"
flying_ford_anglia says, I've just started sorting the Snape messages 
into groups... I've been putting it off.
  gypsycaine says, good luck Neil.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is that one of your FAQs?
blaise_42 says, Snape messages - that's a hard one; they never stop

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Revolving door???
  gypsycaine says, I might just transfer it to WORD, and upload it.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is Yahoo being cruel today?
flying_ford_anglia says, Hello Jim, and non-speaking attendees... 
  gypsycaine says, I thought it took forever to write--it'll prolly 
be about six pages irl!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Translate it to html and upload it
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, then we don't have to download it to 
read it
  gypsycaine says, it fills a spiral notebook.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, depends on the size of your handwriting
  gypsycaine says, I cheated, though.
  gypsycaine says, every paragraph is a different color.
flying_ford_anglia says, Unusual...
siriusgeologist says, Eeeek FAQ's I have made not a lot of progress 
on mine...

the current can't drag you out
changeling_de says, Yahoo doesn't seem to like me tonight :-(
flying_ford_anglia says, Hi Carole!  I've been really slow with 
mine...[sigh]
changeling_de says, Or maybe it's my ISP...
  gypsycaine says, Rita, I think the story itself might be annoying.  
The additional torment of colors might put people off completely!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, btw Dee, how can a wand be made of a 
combination of woods (holly AND ivy, merry solstice)
flying_ford_anglia says, Why did Yahoo tell me I could not enter the 
room?  Were you all getting undressed or something?
  gypsycaine says, (winks)
siriusgeologist says, I've been spending too much time on ASA 
scenes...so I've ignored the FAQ's
peeves23 goes red
  gypsycaine says, (it's a special wand)
  gypsycaine says, and technically, it COULD be done.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, No, we were all hiding behind the door 
to pounce on you when you entered, and then you didn't
flying_ford_anglia says, Stick with ASA for now....  
  gypsycaine says, hahahah
  gypsycaine says, (Ran across my dl'ed version yesterday.  I need 
more hours....)
flying_ford_anglia says, It's a good job I have a sound heart...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, if the two kinds of wood are 
interlocked, like inlay work, won't the joins be weak spots that cold 
break under strong magic
siriusgeologist says, thanks....Penny has been doing FAQ's and 
ignoring ASA...so we're even
  gypsycaine says, I don't know.... it just sounded good.
  gypsycaine says, a holly and ivy wand.

flying_ford_anglia says, Jim, you poor soul.
  gypsycaine says, she could have went off with the Politicks.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Sure, if the ivy is old enough, its 
vines (that is not the official name) will grow thick and woody
  gypsycaine says, (spelled that way for those of us idiots who are 
deeply into the Gore/Bush thing)
peeves23 leaves
  gypsycaine says, KEWL!
flying_ford_anglia says, Well, a bit of OT never hurt anyone...
  gypsycaine says, i will have to find a wand like that for irl!
  gypsycaine says, everything else in my house is ivy.
  gypsycaine says,  
  gypsycaine says, dishes, decor...etc...
changeling_de says, Does this room have revolving doors?
flying_ford_anglia says, Ivy wands?
siriusgeologist says, its just been such a bizarre election
Your buddy daishas is on pager
flying_ford_anglia says, Ivy patterned, not made of ivy leaves, I 
guess?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The pundits say: this is one you'll be 
telling your grandchildren about
Your buddy daishas has gone off pager
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but I said, it might be the beginning 
of a new trend, a different pattern than the 1900s century, in which 
all Presidential elections are dead close
  gypsycaine says, well, the ivy (fake) is on a wreath in the 
bathroom.
flying_ford_anglia says, the grandkids can probably watch it 
themselves if it goes on much longer..

  gypsycaine says, (couldn't resist)
flying_ford_anglia says, the chances of a really close call must be 
quite slim... I bet they thought it would never come to this, whcih 
is why things are in a mess.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and children born this year or ten or 
twenty or thirty years from now will reach the age of politics 
(around 10 or 12) without ever having known a different kind of 
Presidential election
  gypsycaine says, i think they'll be making a few changes soon 
enough.
siriusgeologist says, We knew it would be close, but never dreamed 
this close...usually the mistaken ballots are not significant
  gypsycaine says, Could you see Fudge against someone else like this?
  gypsycaine says, nah, never!
flying_ford_anglia says, BRB - going to stir my cauldron...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The Founders actually expected that it 
would often be so close that there was no Electoral College 
majorityand the election would be decided by the House of 
Representataives
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The Federalist Papers suggested that 
that was a reason why the House would be powerful and held in respect
changeling_de says, I learned more about your system this week than 
in all those years in university.
cassandraclaire73 enters
  gypsycaine says, so did I.
  gypsycaine says, hi cassie.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Of course, the Founders also expected 
that the candidate who came in second would be Vice President, and 
then we had Adams - Jefferson, who were running against each otehr 
BECAUSE they hated each otehr so much that killing each otehr in a 
dule was not sufficent
cassandraclaire73 says, hiya
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Cassie
  gypsycaine says, and I took Civics in school.  It's just the 
electoral college is confusing.
cassandraclaire73 says, am i the only one who cannot get onto ff.net? 
(apoliges for off-topic)
blaise_42 says, I can't either
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think ffnet is completely down today
flying_ford_anglia says, We haven't gone on-topic yet...
cassandraclaire73 says, oh good it isn't just me.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, which is annoying considering that 
this morning I HAD TIME to read blaise's fic but couldn't get on
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, someone else had athe same complaint 
at the start of the chat
changeling_de says, Over here the states don't really matter in 
federal elections.
  gypsycaine says, i am going to go afk--get the laundry gathered 
(ian starts school tomorrow)
flying_ford_anglia says, I had a look at ff.net the other 
day...reading some of the reviews of poU and ASA...

siriusgeologist says, Hi cassie...just writing you an email
peeves23 says, hi
cassandraclaire73 says, i haven't been abl;e tog et on it for 2 days

Electoral College
cassandraclaire73 says, hi carole yeah you owe me an email  
siriusgeologist says, me neither...on ff.net

blaise_42 is jealous:
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Amjad said that 30-some years ago, the 
dictator of Pakistan, the one before Zia, instituted a similar system 
because it is easier to bribe or intimidate a small group of 
delegates than the entire population
peeves23 says,  
siriusgeologist says, it cuts in and out, but sounds good
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, jealous of what? having speakers to 
hear jeremy?
flying_ford_anglia says, It's a bit like the block votes of the 
Unions over here...
blaise_42 says, not having speakers
blaise_42 says, I mean I' m jealous of people who do
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think it was yesterday, altho' 
perhaps the night before, that I got on to ffnet and saw Episode X 
and Last of Bryter Layter near the top of recentness sort
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm burning incense.  It smells like a 
firework.
cassandraclaire73 says, yeah bryter layter x is up
cassandraclaire73 says, the last part
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but it did not appear on title search 
for Bryter Layter
jferer enters
cassandraclaire73 says, no, there's abouta day delay on title search
cassandraclaire73 says, eeyow my speaker just crackled
siriusgeologist says, is it...if I ever get onto ff.net again I'll 
read it
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oh, I'm glad there's a reason.
cassandraclaire73 says, if you can't ill send it to you
blaise_42 says, and my fic is up too... am so glad I managed to get 
some writing done during termtime
cassandraclaire73 says, just in time for ff,.net to crash down like a 
dead moose
flying_ford_anglia says, [thinks] Now I know why Catlady asked me 
about that...
siriusgeologist says, that would be great...thanks...I haven't been 
able to access for 2 days
cassandraclaire73 says, ill send it to you carole, and you too rita 
if you want it
siriusgeologist says, yes I wanted to read yours as well blaise, but 
have been blocked
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I want Blaise's fic (I think Simon 
offered to e-mail it but then went to eat dinner?)
cassandraclaire73 says, maybe blaise could upload it to the files at 
HP4GU?
dee_97527 enters
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Diann
blaise_42 says, yeah, I could do that
dee_97527 says, Howdy again
jferer says, Blaise, can you post your fic into the files area on 
egroups?
cassandraclaire73 says, usually ff.net doesn't sdtay dead for more 
than a day
blaise_42 says, will have to fix something first.  am not sure I can 
bear to look at it though
jferer says, Hello, Dee.
siriusgeologist says, cool...I know that feeling
peeves23 says, hello
cassandraclaire73 says, carole how's asa coming along?
Your buddy malik_nixim is on pager
blaise_42 says, is odd.  I don't normally get it with my fics but 
possibly this one was worse than usual
flying_ford_anglia gives everyone a big hug
siriusgeologist says, not bad...having a conference with Penny this 
evening hopefully...we need to chart where the next chapter is 
going...
siriusgeologist says, I tend to reread my fics until I can't see 
straight
jferer says, I just need some time to work on mine...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, ALL YOU WRITERS!
siriusgeologist says, that is Penny's trouble
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I HAVE A QUESTION!
blaise_42 says, yes?
cassandraclaire73 says, WHAT?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, How much do you know of what is going 
to happen in your story when you start writing it?
blaise_42 says, ah
cassandraclaire73 says, uh
jferer says, Rita, you must just feel vindicated about the "number of 
students" thing?
blaise_42 says, I heard a real published author give a really good 
answer to this
peeves23 says, In my case, none. Which is why I've never finished a 
story...
cassandraclaire73 says, i would imagine it varies depending on the 
person
blaise_42 says, he said he could see the end of the road but not the 
path he was going to take to get there
blaise_42 says, that's exactly how I write
cassandraclaire73 says, i tend to know the beginning and the end and 
have to fill in the middle
jferer says, I knew what I wanted to say, but I found out more as I 
went.
cassandraclaire73 says, Lori writes around set pieces.
siriusgeologist says, thats the same for us
gypsycaine is away (Auto-Away)
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jim -- 1000 students per AOL chat? I 
noticed that the people who think there are 300 students didn't 
change their mind just because of JKR
Your buddy missy_leseaa_fireheart has gone off pager
siriusgeologist says, the beginning and the end with a lack of a 
middle although we do know a couple of things that need to happen
cassandraclaire73 says, most of us probably write around set pieces 
to some extent.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Because most of the fanfic is 
published in serial form
jferer says, I always thought 300 was ridculously low.. there's more 
in my daughters' elementary school.
blaise_42 says, I start with a set piece and sometimes have them, but 
mostly I don't
siriusgeologist says, by set pieces do youi mean certain scenes that 
just have to be there and connecting them?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but it already has a title when just 
the first episode is published (posted)
blaise_42 says, a scene of special importance
cassandraclaire73 says, scenes, images. yeah.
changeling_de says, But 1000 seems an awful lot. My guess was 500 - 
600.
peeves23 says, I had the ending planned out... but I never got there.
jferer says, I ask myself questions...What if my daughter got a 
Hogwarts letter?
cassandraclaire73 says, of course sometimes ou have to toss them
peeves23 says, just as well. it was an awful ending.
siriusgeologist says, K...
cassandraclaire73 says, and you have to prevent yourself from writing 
only set peices
jferer says, What if Cornelius Fudge was tried for cowardice?
cassandraclaire73 says, i bet it wasn't awful.
peeves23 says, cowardice is not a crime. obstructing the course of 
justice is...
siriusgeologist says, yes we've done that too...yeah cause the set 
pieces are the most fun
peeves23 says, How much?  
Your buddy princess_sarah_belle has gone off pager
cassandraclaire73 says, how much bet? in galleons?
peeves23 says, it had an interesting twist, actually. But I'd never 
have been able to write it...
jferer says, Cowardice IS a crime in many places and many situations.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, There were 2400 students at my high 
school (10=11=12 grade) and it was considered a small high school
peeves23 says, yes.  
blaise_42 says, I don't have that much problem with set pieces 
dominating what I write, but I don't use a similar style to either of 
you
  hert0661isme says, Hi to all those who slipped in while I was 
drinking tea and chatting to friends
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, then I went to a university in which 
the undergraduate college had 800 students
peeves23 says, thats why i prefer songs. i can knock out a song in 10 
minutes now. (Actually, that's probably a bad thing...)
cassandraclaire73 says, unless you mean awful in an 'everybody dies' 
sort of way
peeves23 says, no...
gypsycaine is back.
  gypsycaine sneaks back in, now that someone else has beat her to 
the washer, and she won't get a chance to use it for at least 40 
minutes.
jferer says, There IS a difference between a day school and a live-in 
school.
jferer says, ..In numbers, I mean.
cassandraclaire73 says, then i bet it wasn't awful. and set peices 
are fine as long as you know when to throw them awya if they don't 
work
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The high school was a day school and 
the college was live-in
cassandraclaire73 says, oh hey simon....want to be a doctor?
peeves23 says, well, it didn't come down to that anyway. I burned the 
bridges before I got onto them, iyswim
  hert0661isme says, Medical doctor? Sounds fine
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and I sure didn't get to know everyone 
who want to college with me, so there'd be people who didn't know 
each otehr despite having been at Hogwarts together
  hert0661isme says, are we talking fic? (grumble at ff.net)
jferer says, Sure.  Not everbody is a character.
blaise_42 says, we were talking ficcishly
cassandraclaire73 says, yeah talking fic, sort of
cassandraclaire73 says, why do you have a rec?
  gypsycaine says, gawd, there were folks at my college who I saw 
daily, and never learned their names!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Simon, maybe she'll let you cut off 
Draco's leg if you are a medical doctor?
changeling_de says, But wouldn't you be aware of the people even if 
you didn't actually know them?
cassandraclaire73 says, simon, get awya from his leg
  gypsycaine says, ack.
siriusgeologist says, magical medical or muggle?
  hert0661isme says, ff.net author alert does not seem to be working 
for me - has anyone else had problems (I have Blaise on alert but 
still have not been told of her story)
cassandraclaire73 says, mediwizard.  
cassandraclaire73 says, author alert is down has been for 3 days
changeling_de says, Hogwarts simply doesn't seem so crowded when 
Rowling describes it.
  gypsycaine says, the kid with the dark hair in the back row who 
never came to class, and then get upset when he got bad grades.
siriusgeologist says, everyone is having ff.net problems
  gypsycaine says, no idea what his name was.
blaise_42 says, no, authoralert hasnt' been working for a number of 
people, and review alert hasn't been working either
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Some of the notes and reviews on ffnet 
were complaining about author alert not working
dee_97527 is away (Auto-Away)
  gypsycaine says, yahoo's alerts are always donww.
cassandraclaire73 says, must go. bye all.
cassandraclaire73 leaves
  hert0661isme says, will it tell us about all the fics posted when 
it starts working again?
  gypsycaine says, bye cassie!
siriusgeologist says, see ya...I'll go work on your email
blaise_42 says, quite possibly
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I should have recognized at least the 
faces of everyone Bio or Chem, since we were spending all our time in 
the same building
flying_ford_anglia is away (Auto-Away)
flying_ford_anglia is back.
flying_ford_anglia says, One day, I hope to have time to read and 
write fanfic...
  gypsycaine says, honestly, Rita, I couldn't tell you what some of 
the students in my class looked like.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but no particular reason for me to see 
the face of a Lit major from a different dorm and a diiferent year, 
unless we had an elective class or a club activity together
  hert0661isme says, cass got out before I could thank her for 
recommending some other Draco fic (DRACAENA DRACo)
flying_ford_anglia says, It is a minefield though.... I noticed that 
Lori has written loads of non-HP stuff as well..
peeves23 says, I couldn't tell you the names of some of the students 
in my class... and I'm still at school.
blaise_42 says, I've never read that, but I'm not terribly fond of 
draco stories anyway
jferer says, I haven't seen any Draco fic I liked, for some reason.
siriusgeologist says, I would read your fic, neil...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, except for the word tricorn, 
which means a three-cornered hat like George Washington
  hert0661isme says, There are 60 people studying maths in the 4th 
year here and I can probably name about 10 of htem!
blaise_42 says, have only seen one draco fic I liked and that was by 
morrigan
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Draco in Dracaena Draco is NOT A BAD 
GUY
dee_97527 is back.
dee_97527 says, There is no way that Harry would know everyone at 
Hogwarts
blaise_42 says, is not whether he's a good or a bad guy.  am simply 
not interested in his character
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, in fact, he is a poor pitiful victim 
and Hermione feels sorry for him
flying_ford_anglia says, I think mine would feature Lupin...I'm not 
sure why.
jferer says, I wondered once what it would be like if the Dursleys 
were nice, but I don't think I could write funny.
  gypsycaine covers her eyes.
  hert0661isme says, I do not mind which chars it is about - want it 
to be good!
siriusgeologist says, some characters you are just drawn to...
blaise_42 says, yes
  hert0661isme says, so I am some sort of exception then?
jferer says, Lupin may be Headmaster in future.
blaise_42 says, good writing is very very very important
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The reasons for writing fanfic: 1) the 
character you are drawn to,  2) the setting you are drawn to
blaise_42 says, but unless it makes you care about teh characters 
it's not good writing
blaise_42 says, imo
flying_ford_anglia says, I'd also like to write one set in Hogsmeade 
or Diagon Alley...
  gypsycaine says, i came head to head with my own addiction today.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, chocolate?
  gypsycaine says, there was a display in Fishers' Groceries of the 
Hogwarts stuff.
  
New look.  Same great taste!  Try the Yahoo! Chat Client - 
http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/chat.html

  gypsycaine says, the journals, bookmarks, etc.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Ravenclaw mug?
  gypsycaine says, i realized how much I wanted it all!
jferer says, I don't think the art on the American stuff is that good.
  gypsycaine says, nope.
dee_97527 says, Sound like the one at the Fred Meyer's here
  gypsycaine says, just the few journals, and things.
  gypsycaine says, it was a standee boxie display.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jim, for Lupin to be Headmaster, 
wouldn't there have to some kind of social change, like what followed 
from the Civil Rights movement here?
  gypsycaine says, (wonder what they'll do with it when they're done?)
flying_ford_anglia says, I've avoided merchandise pretty much, but I 
was very tempted by those figurines...
  hert0661isme says, Yes friend is back - can get my muffins back now!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Muffins and Cake _ what is 
relationship?
  gypsycaine says, I collect books anyway like the journals.
jferer says, Perhaps, Rita, or the aftereffects of a war,  which 
we're embarking on.
  gypsycaine says, blank thought books.
  hert0661isme says, oops - was wrong - heard different door bang
flying_ford_anglia says, Someone snaffled your muffins, Simon?
jferer says, the wizarding world is going to be turned upside down in 
the next three years.
  gypsycaine says, i wanted to ask what the journal book that someone 
mentioned as a calendar was?
flying_ford_anglia says, Muffins are more like bread than cakes...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, the aftereffects of a war CAN make 
people MORE rigid and bigotted rather than less -- McCarthyism for 
example
  hert0661isme says, they are in a friends room and he is out
Aberforths_Goat enters
blaise_42 says, perhaps Lupin distinguishes himself in this war
  gypsycaine hurries over.
jferer says, True, but let's hope for the best.
  gypsycaine raises her wand.
  hert0661isme says, I am talking muffins in the American sense - 
mini cake type things
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, SImon said his friend had his muffins. 
Then he said that whenhis friend returns, they'll have cake

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, nine types of rum blended together,

flying_ford_anglia says, Oh, those muffins...big cakes, exploding at 
the top and full of chunks?
jferer says, ...or Pusser's Rum and water with lemon juice.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cauldron Cakes
  gypsycaine says, rum cakes?
  gypsycaine says, rum balls.....mmmmm.  I want a recipe for those.

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Christina said she learned more about 
USAmerican Civics from recent newscasts than she had in school.  
That's not surprising. 
jferer says, You missed the fun, Sirius.  You could have chosen the 
President.
  hert0661isme says, cant be mine - it is switched off!

that most USAmerican VOTERS learned more USAmerican civics from 
recent newscasts than they had in school

since you previously mentioned it long ago

should use their vote.  people died for the right to vote, and some 
people can't be arsed to put an X in the box.  grrrr.

€  Aberforths_Goat says, But it could be wickedly funny
€  Aberforths_Goat says, ... considering ...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Alicia-Sue, she hasn't been here today 
I think, wrote a story set in IIRC 2027
flying_ford_anglia says, It could be hilarious...especially if you 
write it  
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, in which the daughter of Harry and 
Hermione, the son of Ron and Lavendar, and the son of Draco and 
Ginny. learn that they aren't normal Boston suburb high school kids 
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and the surnames they've used all 
their lives aren't their real surnames
flying_ford_anglia says, I think Lori should write an HP/ST hybrid, 
in which Harry becomes Magic officer on the USS Hogsmeade.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and they run off to Hogwarts and have 
an adventure
flying_ford_anglia says, You have to bring America into it, don't you?
gypsycaine is away (Auto-Away)
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but the reason I am mentioning it is 
that each of those three 40-something couple are constantly getting 
caught by their embarrassed offspring making love on the living room 
sofa or the kitchen floor
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, or the roof......
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I am merely reporting what Alicia-Sue 
wrote
flying_ford_anglia says, Why do all these political people have 
bandaids on their  faces?  Is it a new fashion?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is it all of them or just W? 
€  Aberforths_Goat says, Huh??
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, W told the press that it was an 
infected boil, but I get suspicious
flying_ford_anglia says, There was this Floridian with TWO on his 
face - i think he was a Democrat
€  Aberforths_Goat says, <doesn't understand the world any longer>
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, at least, if he cut himself shaving, 
that wouldn't give the public a good impression of his hand's 
steadiness on the nuclear trigger
flying_ford_anglia says, He was trying to go one better than George W.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, or perhaps he got into a bar fight.....
€  Aberforths_Goat says, Or did G.W. get acne from behaving like a 
teenager too long?

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, They've all run away before you had a 
chance to bonk Neil with a pillow
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and Simon is working on his 
FAQ: "Harry"
  gypsycaine says, casserole:  tuna flakes, egg noodles, and cream of 
mushroom soup.
  gypsycaine says, sounds good, but I hate washing dishes, and the 
dish is dirty.
  gypsycaine says, lol.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Casserole: any kind of glop cooked for 
a long time in a dish in an oven or in a crock pot
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, has other names like cholent in other 
languages like Yiddish
Your buddy brujah_rant_room_gm has gone off pager
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, (now I must define glop so as to 
exclude Meat Loaf)
  gypsycaine says, no, that defines my mom's meatloaf pretty well.
  gypsycaine says, it goes glop too.
  gypsycaine says, it's very pretty until she goes to serve it, then 
it's glop.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, But the curry Tim makes doesn't 
qualify because it is a glop that is cooked for a long time (12 ours 
IIRC) in a pot (cauuldron?) over a flame
  gypsycaine says, eggs, bread, nothing helps.  It tastes good, 
though!
  gypsycaine says, whoa!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, But I would think that Cauldron Cakes 
could not be like Pan Cakes (a friend calls them Cakes of Pan, sacred 
to the god of wild sex)
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, because Pan Cakes are thin, almost as 
thin as crepes, and Cauldrons are not shaped for cooking thin things
  gypsycaine says, why not?
  gypsycaine says, ahhhh
  gypsycaine says, (I wasn't thinking pancakes, was thinking Pan 
cakes.  Like brownies.0
