€  dr_simon_branford says, Hello
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, I'm just waiting around to see if 
it starts an hour early today too  
€  dr_simon_branford says, First week in ages that there wasn't at 
least 5 people here by now
voicelady_2000 enters

lost the cold (nearly)
voicelady_2000 says, You poor thing.
€  dr_simon_branford says, I know - keep getting sympathy from people
voicelady_2000 says, I've been lucky this year.  Everyone around me 
is dying - flu, bronchitis, pneumonia - and miraculously, I haven't 
caught even a symptom.
voicelady_2000 says, And I usually catch everything that comes down 
the pike!
€  dr_simon_branford says, can't decide whether to glare at you for 
that or just cough over you instead!
voicelady_2000 says, I'm sorry.  Cough away - as long as it doesn

illness

hours time

have to choose a day to do the fancy gown thing

group today - we have just started a round robin
voicelady_2000 says, 'Kay.
€  dr_simon_branford says, I get to choose which, out of several 
possibilities throughout the year, I choose to graduate on (go get 
dressed up and say hi to some bigwig of the uni)
voicelady_2000 says, Cool!  We didn't have a choice.
€  dr_simon_branford says, it doesn't even have to be anytime soon. 
Any of teh dates that fit are ok, however many years in teh future! 
This is one of the few places that I know about where you do get a 
choice
€  dr_simon_branford says, my bro graduated midweek

teacher, to get off

voicelady_2000 says, Hey, *my* dad was a teacher, too!
€  dr_simon_branford says, Mark is 25 this year - my only sib.
voicelady_2000 says, You're 21, right?  Or did I remember that wrong?

voicelady_2000 waves goodbye to her husband who's going to 
Blockbuster.
destinymalzen screams, "They killed kenny!"

destinymalzen tries other kind of action

€  dr_simon_branford says, Hello
rinad81 says, How do you save it? Is there a logging feature?
destinymalzen says, Simon, could you add me to the chatter list?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, 'won' on ebay? How much do the lottery 
tickets cost?
minzzer says, add me too
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Destiny, you have to tell him your 
name to be on the list
€  dr_simon_branford says, Yes - what name would you like to be put 
on it?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Rina, we are in Cheetah Chat
destinymalzen says, Real name is Lily, pen name is Destiny
voicelady_2000 says, I won the auction - and it was very reasonable - 
less than what I would have paid in the store.
rinad81 says, So there's a logging feature on cheetah chat? I have to 
unearth my copy, then, because that would be useful for my other list 
chat. LOL
minzzer says, Minzzer wants to know if he can add Minzzer on the 
chatters list...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, In Cheetah, the first word on the menu 
toolbar is Chat.  One of the options on Chat's drop-down menus is 
Save Transcript
destinymalzen is most likely the youngest here, feels little
rinad81 says, Awesome. Thanks. : )
voicelady_2000 says, How old/young are you?
destinymalzen says, 14
minzzer says, you can join me in the underage seat
harpdreamer enters
voicelady_2000 says, Nothing wrong with being young.
rinad81 says, Good, Destiny, because I'm getting annoyed at always 
being the youngest on so many lists.
rinad81 says, <g>
minzzer says, I'm usually the youngest too....and the oddest
destinymalzen says, how old are you, rina?
destinymalzen says, and minzzer?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but first you hae to go to the 
Settings drop down menu and click on Preferencs and choose the 
General Tab and find  Buffer Up To [   ] Lines on Screen, and choose 
Unlimited in the [ ] box
rinad81 says, 19, Destiny.
minzzer says, yup its official....I get to be the youngest coming at 
12
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Minzzer -- are your parents afraid 
that we will corrupt you?
€  dr_simon_branford says, minzzer - do you want to be on the list 
under that name or anotehr?
destinymalzen says, Oh, so I'm not the youngest. Okay then.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, IIRC joe_from_button_factory is 13
minzzer says, I'm known as Minzzer but u can also put Vickie
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think I'm the oldest logged on right 
now: 43
destinymalzen doesn't feel quite so awkward anymore
minzzer says, yup we were sitting in the underage seats last week
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I calculated that the Marauder 
generation were born the same year as me. 
destinymalzen has spelled akward really strangely, has had a mind 
block
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, awkward is correct
destinymalzen says, Really?
minzzer says, no I seem corrupted enough....j/k
harpdreamer says, Me, too, Catlady--almost 44  Hi, everybody!
destinymalzen sighs
destinymalzen fiddles with actions

voicelady_2000 enters
rinad81 says, The current gang is actually older than me. That's sad. 
<g>
voicelady_2000 says, Why is that sad?
destinymalzen says, This is really random, but does anyone know where 
I can find a good picture of a fairy? Need it for art class...
harpdreamer says, Back issue of Rennaisance magazine for fairies
minzzer says, fairies??? Minzzer wishes she could have art 
class...nope don't know
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, when I web searched for figurines of 
wizards, I found a zillion pictures of figurines of fairies.
voicelady_2000 says, Check the cover of the Pelican version of 
Midsummer Night's Dream.
destinymalzen says, I need I need it by tomorrow...
destinymalzen says, Whoops....
minzzer says, u can try using google to search for one
voicelady_2000 says, I love google.  Dogpile and mamma are good, too.
destinymalzen says, I tried Altavista, Google, and I'm using Ditto 
now. Most of the pictures are way too small.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I have a friend who swears by (not at) 
Dogpile.
€  dr_simon_branford says, Chatters list updated
destinymalzen says, Do gpi le?
harpdreamer says, No way to enlarge them?
destinymalzen says, Thanks, Simon.
destinymalzen says, When I enlarge them, they get fuzzy.
minzzer says, thanks
voicelady_2000 says, Yup.  www.dogpile.com  Try it.
minzzer says, that's computers
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, http://www.dogpile.com/
rinad81 says, I have a link, Destiny, but it's on my other AOL sn. 
Sorry.
destinymalzen scampers off to dogpile
harpdreamer says, what a name!
destinymalzen says, That's okay, Rina, thanks anyway.
voicelady_2000 says, Don't you just love it, though?
minzzer says, yup
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, It's called Dogpile because it's meta-
search -- a pile of results from ten other search engines
minzzer says, they also have 37.com
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and it allows them puns, like you 
click on 'Fetch' instead of 'Search' or 'Execute'
minzzer says, though I don't use it I'm more of a google person
harpdreamer says, cute
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, My friend like metacrawler until she 
met dogpile  http://www.metacrawler.com/index.html?nocookie
destinymalzen says, Everyone who is tired, raise their hands.
voicelady_2000 says, Hey, I have an HP question.  I'm re-reading 
Philosopher's Stone, and I've decided that in the later books that 
Hagrid's character has completely changed from what he started out 
as.  Did anyone else think this, too?
destinymalzen raises hand
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I like metacrawler's results page 
better
voicelady_2000 raises both hands.
harpdreamer says, how has he changed?
minzzer says, raises hands plus her banged up head from boredom
voicelady_2000 says, He's become much more mild.
voicelady_2000 says, He is almost overwhelming in PS, but he's a 
marshmallow in the later books.
destinymalzen says, I don't really see that....
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, He's become more mild (examples?) only 
in Harry's perception, because Harry is less intimidated now he's 
used to him?????
harpdreamer says, Me neither
voicelady_2000 says, Read the chapter where he meets Harry and the 
Dursley's.
destinymalzen says, That's probably it, Catlady
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Or he's become more mild after being 
subjected to Azkaban in CoS?
destinymalzen says, But in that scene, Hagrid was angry because they 
insulted Dumbledore.
rinad81 says, I think harry was about as terrified of him at first 
asthe Dursley's were, though. <g>
minzzer says, maybe because of the later burden of Voldemort
voicelady_2000 says, Yeah, but even before that, he is a completely 
take-charge character.
harpdreamer says, I didn't get that at all.  Confused maybe
voicelady_2000 says, His dialogue is completely different.
harpdreamer says, Well, maybe the incident with Norbert & Bucky tamed 
him down a bit
destinymalzen says, May I pose a theory about the books that I worked 
out?
destinymalzen says, I'm not sure if it actually works or not.
minzzer says, maybe I need to go reread my books
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, tell us the theory!!
harpdreamer says, Sure
voicelady_2000 says, Jo did a complete 180 wioth his speech patterns.
destinymalzen says, You know how everyone's wondering who Crookshanks 
really is?
spottydog02 enters
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hoo is Crookshanks???
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi spottydog
harpdreamer says, Hermione's cat
minzzer says, hi
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think I saw a post from you yesterday
voicelady_2000 says, Hi.
destinymalzen says, Crookshanks is Hermi's cat.
spottydog02 says, Hi room
dr_simon_branford This chat will be saved and posted on theYahoo 
Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/
destinymalzen says, What if Crookshanks is Mrs. Figg?
minzzer says, why are we talking about Crookshanks
agassizde enters
destinymalzen waits to hear people's opinions
rinad81 says, Rats - sorry, guys. Where can I download cheetah chat? 
<g> My copy isn't quite all there....
  catlady_de_los_angeles  knows that Crookshanks is Hermione's orange 
cat with pushed in face and unusual intelligence, I was encouraging 
Destiny (Lily?) to tell us that Crookshanks is an owl.
agassizde says, Hi all
minzzer says, Chrookshanks=Mrs. Figg??? never came to my mind
€  dr_simon_branford says, Hello
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi Monika
voicelady_2000 says, I don't know.  I think Crookshanks is just 
Crookshanks.  He's special all on his own.
minzzer says, hi
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Isn't Crookshanks a MALE cat?
harpdreamer says, Hi Monika
minzzer says, maybe he can read minds
destinymalzen says, But JK herself said there's more to Crookshanks 
then what meets the eye.
voicelady_2000 says, Yeah.  He's male.
destinymalzen says, And that's one of the problems with my theory, 
catlady.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't think we've seen any wizarding 
sex changes
minzzer says, she did when
bludger_witch enters

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Dinah
€  dr_simon_branford says, Hello
agassizde says, Hi Dinah
voicelady_2000 says, Hey Dinah.
€  bludger_witch says, Hi!
minzzer says, hi
harpdreamer says, Hi, Dinah
pippin_999 enters
destinymalzen says, But maybe when they're Animagus', they can become 
a different gender...
pippin_999 says, hi
€  dr_simon_branford says, Hello
rinad81 says, Thanks. : )
voicelady_2000 says, Hullo!
minzzer says, hi
destinymalzen says, Like I said, it's only a theory, but we all know 
how Mrs. Figg loves cats
harpdreamer says, But I get the impression "Snuffles" stays male
€  bludger_witch says, Say, Simon, could it be that you have some 
kind of "Cyberflu"??? I'm nearly dying here. *sneeze*
€  bludger_witch says, Hi Pippin!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I keep pushing my theory that 
Crookshanks is McGonagall's offspring when she was in cat form 
destinymalzen says, And she could be Crookshanks to keep an eye on 
Harry at school, like she did when he was at the Dursley's.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Prongs was male: female deer (does) 
don't have antlers
agassizde says, But why only keep an eye on him in his 3rd year?
destinymalzen says, Maybe she just finished becoming an Animagus...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Me? Not Pippin, Rita. Pippin is 
fizzwhizzbee
pippin_999 says, Changed my name
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, when did you come in????
pippin_999 says, I am the Pippin formerly known as Fisswhizbee
agassizde says, Another unregistered animagus, and I'll scream.  
spottydog02 says, Actually, you are incorrect. Some species of female 
deer, ie reindeer, do have antlers at certain times of the year
harpdreamer says, that was the year Sirius escaped & everybody 
thought he was after Harry
€  bludger_witch says, But the witch in the shop said that 
Crookshanks had been in the shop for years.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I read an article about reindeer on 
Friday and it said they are the only deer whose females have antlers
destinymalzen says, Maybe the witch just knew about who Crookshanks 
was.
agassizde says, Yes, and nobody wanted him...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Prongs is not a reindeer
harpdreamer says, I think Crookshanks is just a very smart cat--not 
an animagus
voicelady_2000 says, Me too.
agassizde says, Agree
destinymalzen shrinks into background
€  bludger_witch says, Kinda OT: Reindeer doesn't taste good.
minzzer leaves
agassizde says, Dinah: Did you try it?
harpdreamer says, Sometimes my cat looks at me like she knows what 
I'm thinking.
pippin_999 says, Maybe animagus is llike prohibition. it's supposed 
to bel eal but everybody does it
  catlady_de_los_angeles  tries to remember what we are supposed to 
call Lapps nowadays 
€  bludger_witch says, We were in Finland on this Reindeer farm and 
then they served it for linch and I nearly cried my eyes out when 
they forced me to try it.
pippin_999 says, *illegal
€  bludger_witch says, *lunch
harpdreamer says, Saani
pippin_999 says, I like reindeer to eat
harpdreamer says, Oops--Saami
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lapps (Suomi?) and some Swedes think 
reindeer meat tastes great
destinymalzen says, Simon, could you send a link to the chatter list 
again?
agassizde says, Dinah: So doesn't it taste good or don't you just 
like it?
€  bludger_witch says, I mean, I eat meat, but when you see just saw 
them upclose - aah, those brown, trusty eyes. I'm sooo mushy
pippin_999 says, Saami are Lapps
€  bludger_witch says, And it didn't taste good, either.
harpdreamer says, I've never tried reindeer--I'd like to though
harpdreamer says, Oh, they're not?
pippin_999 says, Suomi are Finns I think
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Tm's family hunts
voicelady_2000 says Oh my god, they killed Rudolph!
€  bludger_witch says, lol
agassizde says,  
destinymalzen is turning into a vegetarian as we speak
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, He calls it 'Bambi Syndrome' when
voicelady_2000 says, Ha!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, some softy says
harpdreamer says, I get a lot of how can you shoot Bambi
spottydog02 says, back to HP, I read an article where JK says that 
Harry will not become an animagi. Did anyone else hear that?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, 'Oh, those big brown eyes, I can't 
shoot it!'
€  bludger_witch says, No, didn't read that.
agassizde says, Yes, I read that too.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, I saw that chat transcript too. 
Harry will not become an Animagus
voicelady_2000 says, I remember reading that somewhere.
rinad81 leaves
harpdreamer says, Could if it were the only thing between you & 
starvation
€  bludger_witch says, But I think it's a good idea. So that Harry 
isn't completely turning out like his father.
spottydog02 says, i'm kind of disappointed, he'd make a great animagi
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Destiny -- you can get much vegetarian 
cooking advice from Neil (flying ford anglia) 
harpdreamer says, Yeah, he would
€  bludger_witch says, What animal do you think he'd turn into?
voicelady_2000 says, Phoenix!
€  dr_simon_branford says, Harry would become an owl and then....
  catlady_de_los_angeles  wonders if spottydog is a Dalmatian 
Animagus 
harpdreamer says, Maybe an owl
agassizde leaves
agassizde enters
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Can an Animagus has a form of a 
magical creature, such as Phoenix???
destinymalzen leaves
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, do the scientific laws of Animagery 
allow only Muggle type animals?
harpdreamer says, Don't know--wish someone would come out with a book 
on it
heiditandy enters
pippin_999 says, If they turn into non-magical animals it's more 
interesting
€  heiditandy says, hi all! Baby is napping!!
harpdreamer says, Hi, Heidi
€  dr_simon_branford says, Hello Heidi
agassizde says, Hi
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Some people speculate that an Animagus 
can only receive the form of an animal who is still extant in the 
country where heesh becomes an Animagus
€  bludger_witch says, Why are Animagi registered at the *improper* 
use of magic office, anyway? Maybe wizrads aren't supposed to turn 
into animals?
€  heiditandy says, merchandise update - went to Suncoast Video - 
they had a necklace with 4 rings on it, one for each house. 
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, So the Brits become cats, dogs, rats, 
ferrets......
dai_evans enters
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Heidi
€  bludger_witch says, Hi!
harpdreamer says, Did we ever decide whether an Animagus chooses the 
animal or not
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi Dai
agassizde says, Hi
€  dai_evans says, Hi Everyone
harpdreamer says, Hi, Dai
sineadsiobhan enters
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't think it is the 'improper' use 
office that Animagi register at, where is your citation?
€  bludger_witch says, Hi!
€  heiditandy says, Dai! Hai!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Sinead
agassizde says, I don't think they choose the animal they become. It 
reflects their character.
€  dai_evans says, Hi Sinead
sineadsiobhan says, Hi there.....
sineadsiobhan says, Hey Dai
harpdreamer says, Hi, Sinead!
sineadsiobhan says, Hey... I see new people!
€  bludger_witch says, Sinead, I just saw a documentary about 
Scotland!!! Many, many guys in kilts...
€  dr_simon_branford says, Hello Dai and Sinead
pippin_999 says, I don't think they choose the animal, because of 
something Jo said in a chat, that she'd probably end up a cockroach 
or something
spottydog02 says, I have noticed that when a witch or a wizard 
becomes an animagi, the form they take uses some of their human 
characteristics. For example: Rita Skeeter is an insect which aligns 
with her name, and Sirius becomes a dog. Astronomers have long called 
the star Sirius, the dog star.
rinad81 enters
sineadsiobhan says, Ah! kiltage...
€  rinad81 says, Am I here? <g>
€  dr_simon_branford says, You are
€  bludger_witch says, Yes, you are here lol
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, In a chat, JKR was asked when animal 
she would like to become as an Animagus. She said she would love to 
become an otter, but she might not be willing to risk becoming a 
cockroach
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, which implies that the Animagus 
doesn't get a choice
€  rinad81 says, Good. I managed that with only a little bit of 
complete confusion, then. LOL
sineadsiobhan says, although..... violent 15th century european 
politics has me swamped at the moment!
€  bludger_witch says, I'd love to be a hawk or a raven.
agassizde says, I wouldn't like to become an insect. People use to 
step on them...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't think that the animal form 
comes from the animagus's name, but rather wizarding folk often have 
names that predeict their destiny
€  heiditandy says, only the violent type?
sineadsiobhan says, Oh yeah....
harpdreamer says, I like violent 15th c. European politics
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Remus Lupin -- Remus and Romulus were 
raised by a wolf as their foster mother

spells to name their offspring

wanted to become like her cat, all black and sleek. Then she really 
transformed and turned into a puma because she had unruly sandish 
hair and was rather chubby as a human.
spottydog02 says, Sort of like Remus Lupin being predestined to 
become a werewolf because Remus is a name from ancient Mythology 
depicting a wolf and Lupin is a derivative of the Latin name for wolf?

black, they are not chubby

Wolf or Wolff. I went to school with at least 3 people with that last 
name

about the resty

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, A lot of our good surnames in America 
come from Germany, i think specifically by Ashkenazi Jews, like Wolf 
and Goldberg (Gold Mountain)
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and therefore less common in Britain 
than here
sineadsiobhan says, don't know where though
destinymalzen says, Who here is from/currently in England?

being "Ohmygodthatishteweirdestthingiveheardofever" but that's 
paraphrasing

surnames that are strange in their own right
starling_luv says, I want to live in England but never been there as 
of yet
sineadsiobhan says, I'm american but parents are Irish:-D
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, One of the chlidren interviewed while 
queued up to apply for a role in the movie was named Simon Deadman
pippin_999 says, Jewish surnames were picked for them by bureaucrats 
in 18th/19th century. If you couldn't afford a bribe you got a silly 
name

starling_luv says, really, I'm part Irish too

alternate spellings 
pippin_999 says, A florist in my old neighborhood was Budlong and 
Bloom
starling_luv says, I know someone by Lovelace aswell
harpdreamer says, Had a friend with the last name Christmas
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but witches named Loveless would have 
lonely lives, with JKR's naming magic

therefore hung up a tin Man as their business sign)

tin???

clay fields

like.. Wordsmith

egroups, i've only done egroups but now i'm thinking i should do both
sineadsiobhan says, but he hasn't veritified his e-mail

their desperate popularity entirely from live appearances and live 
on 'wizarding wireless'

destinymalzen says, True.
starling_luv says, oh
destinymalzen says, who here has read Stolen Stars?
starling_luv says, dear, the niose behind me is distracting

enough that everyone could see them perform live a couple of times a 
year (if they wanted to and could get leave from boarding school)

record sounds onto paper, via spells.
