Ravenclaw House

[Fleurdelacour]

Hello, once again!

Take a seat, don't be shy!
Stay a while or just fly by!

Ravenclaw House is here again! :)

Butterbeer and warm cookies are on the table by the fire :)

[Fleur]

Fleur takes a warm cookie

Thankyee very much! Hey does anyone know when we can shed our selves of these demeaning 'junior member' titles?

nnar

[Fleurdelacour]

I know. It's not fair, we've been here two years...

My mother has just spent 2hours on the phone to my aunt in Ireland. That's why I vanished from msn btw

:rolleyes:

[Kristin]

After a day you can get a custom title.

I'm going to miss my old title -- Grammar Avenger, Auror Extraordinaire and Parrot of the Angband Pirates (Arrrr!)

It's too long. :(

But I feel worse for the people who can't get their original user-names back.

Hey, maybe Ravenclaw house can be the first to 500 posts (like it was the first time around).

Kristin sets to work rebuilding the roller coaster. :)

Kristin sets to work rebuilding the roller coaster. :)

yeah! rollercoaster that's what I need! that and FleurD's butterbeer :D

*WWW helps Kristin with the rebuilding and sings her At Last Butterbeer And Chocolate Frogs song while working*

[Swendula]

Pops in to say hi, wave to the ravenclaws, have a cookie, and hug her sister

Good to see you here Fleurd

[Anarie]

Did someone mention cookies? :)

[Fleurdelacour]

Yes! Kristin, we must get 500 before any other house! :)

And I've got the perfect song for it! lol, sad me!

Yeah, it's good to be back Swen! :)

:D :cool:

[Anarie]

First to post 500, huh? This is not going to be easy with those Slytherins there... But I'll help you. :D

[Remus]

Hi, I don't think I've ever posted in here before, and seeing as I only ever seemed to post in Hufflepuff, I thought I'd see what the other houses are like.

Remus takes a cookie

Mmm. :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Our thread house talking, well singing...




You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you girl,
We couldn't get much higher


Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire


The time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
If I was to say to you
That our love becomes a funeral pyre

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Light my fire
Light my fire yeah yeah


The time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre


Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light, light my fire
Light my fire, Light my fire, light my fire,

Light, light, light, light, light, girl, girl, girl

All you've got to do is light my fire
Light my fire girl, yeah, yeah



Only fire song I could find! :D

Remus, maybe those cookies may enchant you to chngeinto a Ravenclaw!

APPLE PIE! :D Freshly made, Grandmother style! :)

[BroadwayBound]

Hey! Just found out about the new site. Why do we keep changing? Anyways...

Did you say apple pie???

:notworthy

[Fleurdelacour]

Yes, yummy Apple Pie whcih I'm eating right now, and it's soo yummy! :D It smells lovely... :swoon: I love my Grandma's apple pie..

[Cedric]

Ravenclaw first to get to 500, well you can try, but don't get your hopes up ;):D

Don't even know how many days I've been away from this site, I think I've lost track.... Good to be back though :)

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Go on mate! We'll see about that! :p :arrr:

[Bridget Chubb]

Hello Ravenclaws!:D

Did I hear something about cookies and apple pie?;) :D

Mmmm...

[Fleurdelacour]

Are you going to join us Bridget? And stay in our house, for good? :)

Please!

We've got some diluted Absinthe in the back of the fridge...

[Bridget Chubb]

Bridget looks away guiltily

Well...um...you know I love you Ravenclaws and all but I kind of already joined the Hufflepuffs...:o

Sorry about that...:rolleyes:

[Cedric]

Bbwwaaahahahahah!! She's ours for life!! AhAaaahhahaha!

Too much?

Remember, it's not a race, whoever posts 500 first posts 500 first, it really doesn't matter who it is unless it's Slytherin....

:D

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Not a race? My dear Ced, it's a race indeed!

It's the London Maraton, and we're the Paula McCarthys! And you (lot) are the bloke in the deep sea diving suit that finished last! ;)

Why are the Hufflepuffs so popular? We're witty and god, I've forgotten....

lol, I make sense.

[Kristin]

It's not a race.

The race was already run -- and won. Ravenclaw was the first house to ever reach 500 posts. It's not our fault we lost everything. As far as I'm concerned, Ravenclaw's record (and superiority) still stands. :D ;)

Kristin helps herself to cookies and butterbeer. :)

[Anarie]

Cedric is here!!! :D




just wanted to show how happy I am...

[Cedric]

Gives Anarie a big hug!!

Well I'm happy too :)

That's a very good point Kristin, the record's still there, wether we can see it or not. So whoever gets it this times isn't really getting anything, it's just like we're adding on to the other house posts we had.

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

C'om peoples! Be fun! lol, maybe I belong in Slytherin!

;)

School tomorrow. I'm being made to pick up rubbish on the streets of Greenwich because the bus company broke down and only run every 45 mins so I was late for school on my second day. Now I have to pick up filthy rubbish until the black bags are filled. All this after school. It's illegal in Britian to keep us after school for more then 7 mins. I HATE MY HEADTEACHER!

:mad:

[Cedric]

Ced sneaks up behind Fleur, and gives her a super tight hug!!

Lol! No! Don't do anything rash like that! You'd never forget yourself :D

With a flick of his wand a giant banner appears that says "fun central", then "celebrate good times" starts playing

No downers aloud in here, got it? ;)

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Fleurd gives Ced a big huge teddy hug!


I'm a pessimist! I can never think happy! :( War's immenant, and I'm feeling really down right now :(

Well, I'll try to be happy! I'm going to a concert on Sunday! It's on telly too!

[Remus]

Cool.

My pescimism (and moaning) has also kicked right back into action since the new school year started, I think it must just be something to do with having to get up early and actually work every day.

My headteacher's insane and keeps telling us "the sheepdog is coming" (to seperate us from the pack). I haven't a clue what he's on about :confused: :rolleyes:

[Fleurdelacour]

Headteachers are evil. I watched the Faculty last night (Hobbit Eyes!) and all teachers are EVIL! mahahahah!

They are, make my life living hell.

[Anarie]

Wooohooo! I don't have to go to school anymore!!! And uni is much much better than school, especially when it starts in november ! :p :)

[Fleurdelacour]

I can't wait until Uni and College (this time next year... christ..)

We should get treated like human beings there, right Anarie? :confused: :eek: :o

[Anarie]

Comparing to school, Uni is paradise!

You have no homework, you don't have to be present at all the lessons/lectures, no one telling you how and what to wear, you build your lessons schedule (?) by yourself, and the most important thing you choose what you want to learn (no more history lessons horror! no more sports lessons torture! no more many other @#*%! ) :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Sounds like heaven! :D (shame about those Studen Loan things, I'll go to Uni in London and stay with my parents haha)

Speaking of history, got it tomorrow morning...

I hate sports, it's pointless, takes up my time when I could be doing my late 19th Centrury Parisain fashion and culture project for art!

RE, I think is pointless, because we have more RE lessons then art! My beloved art and design lessons!

:jawdrop:


I've got three years. Three years ago I was in year Eight the year where you do nothing. I had not a care in the world, I was thirteen/twelve, that age...

[Anarie]

What's RE? :confused:

[Fleurdelacour]

Religious Education. It was okay in Primary School, but it'll be a year on Wednesday since I stopped believing in God :(

[Anarie]

We have it too, in our schools. Not exectly religious education, I mean no one's doing religious brainwashings (unless if it's religious school), but there are bible lessons, we learn how to read it and different interpretations of it, that's how I learned to understand ancient hebrew and arameic. I liked those lessons, but most of people usually hate it.

TChaaa! Whatever! Hufflepuff totally rule. In the new old MI Hufflepuff was leading by about 500 except the Slytherins but they don't count because their posts consist of an average of 10 words. But actually, I don't really mind, because Ravenclaw House is a cool place to hang out too! Before I had a house, I was more Ravenclaw than Hufflepuff.

Why can't we all just get along? ;)

hahahahaha. WHAT ever.

My pescimism (and moaning) has also kicked right back into action since the new school year started, I think it must just be something to do with having to get up early and actually work every day.

You're telling me? You are the most pessimistic person I know. Infact I think you delight in pointing out averything wrong with the world.. ;)

The Sheepdog is a metaphorical (we hope) dog that 'separates' us from our friends in the form of GCSE tests. See, we are on our own in the tests. We have to 'grow up' or something.

WOOF!

We're brainwashed. I go to a convent school... We're only taught about one religon :rolleyes: How does that work in a multicultural society, espech when I live in London...

Your lessons sound interesting. I swear if I have to read one more passage from marks gospel. I'll explode!

[Stardust]

Hi ,i'm just gonna post here ,cuase i love all the house(excpetn slyerin):) and Fleur said some thing about apple pie and butter beer.:) :D .

[Fleurdelacour]

Indeedy-do, I did say something about apple pie and butterbeer!

Fleurd passes Stardust some warm apple pie and butterbeer from the oven

Enjoy! :)

I would just like to say I do not ! There just happens to be a lot in the world that I find I need to moan about (and I am far from pescimistic most of the time)

RS at my school's pretty rubbish, but Philosophy's pretty cool, we actually get a chance to question religion (well, sometimes)

[Stardust]

We aren't aloud to do that stuff at public schools. which is just stupid.:) :D But we take moments of scilence for things .

[Kristin]

Kristin brings in birthday cake to share with her fellow Ravenclaws. :)

[Anarie]

Happy birthday again Kristin!

Here some presents for you, open them! (I have no idea what's inside)


http://209.238.230.207/playin1.jpg

[Fleurdelacour]

Happy Birthday Kristin! *hugs!*


Our school is hopeless, and made so soo bloody amd today!

After lunch, we had Maths, we out evil selfish headmistress, and we went in, and she said to prey for Denise because she's feeling ill... I think she failed to reilise that it was 1.45 pm and in one minute we should be paying our respects to the victims of 9/11... Then I got told off for not answering her during my two minute silence at 1.46pm... :rolleyes: :mad: :(

Today's been such a crap day, adn the woman opposite me on the bus insisted on smothering her newspaper in my face. Some people just have no respect, whatsoever...


:kiss: - to my American friends.

[Stardust]

Your head misstres must be some type of monster ,to do that.:)
yeah but we only had one minute here.Hey if any one gets the WB watch the movie thats one and get a sneak peek of the camber of secrets:) :D

[Anarie]

Hugs for Fleurd


http://www.justsaywow.com/IMAGES/bears/bearmapa.jpg



EDIT: this is strange, why can't I normally post pictures here? I mean, it's working everywhere at CoE, except here. :confused:

[Fleur]

It infuriated me that our school did not observe the 1 46 1 minutes silence. I had to listen to my PSE teacher droan on.

Fleur lights a candle in remembrance of the people who dies on and after 9/11, and also prays for their family and friends.

Bears are very sweet!

Anyone know where I can buy a willow beanie baby? grr i think they were dicontinues about three years ago...

[Stardust]

Them might be on ebay.I'm looking for the one you can color your self.:)

[Fleurdelacour]

*hugs Anarie back* Thank you :) Very cute teddies! I love my teddies! lol, little child in me!

She is some kind of monster! She's like a... small fidgety thing, out of Irish folklaw, she has a hunchback, and is about 4ft3 and wears long black pointy shoes with three buckles on them. She clashes baby find wollen suits with a green and black floral shirt, she does that Mr Burns thing, with the twiddling of the fingers...

I hate her so much... 1 year left...

[Stardust]

Have you ever seen Matilda? becuase she reminds me of the headmaster in that.:) :D

[Fleur]

Ugh that woman is truly vile. Even worse than in the book, I reckon. The way they film up super close on her face so you can see al the sweat and bristles on her chin! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

[Stardust]

Yuke it was , she might be worst or better .Does she stick kids in small roomswith sharp objects sticking out of the walls?:)

[Fleurdelacour]

Yeah! Ms Trunchbald! She's like her! But smaller, and weaker, and wears baby pink suits!

Well, that's the school star ;)

[Stardust]

Yeah, some people can be that bad.:)

[Anarie]

Woohoo! I passed my 2 organic chemistry exam!!! Never believed it was possible. I'm so relieved now. Now I have no worries till november when my uni starts.

I'm so happy!!! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Congrats Anarie! :D

I'm happy too! :D

I was on telly again making a fool out of myself and I was

[Stardust]

Hey cool.:D

[Fleur]

Go Anarie! Wooohooo!

lol organic chemistry

Rave in da Ravenclaw house

lol.

[Stardust]

We grrls is going shoping in the grrls club i thought you might want to come.:D
heehee its in angband,:D :) ;)

[Anarie]

I know shoping can be very fun, but will you ever come back, please? We're falling down to the void! Nooooo!!!

[Fleurdelacour]

Shopping....

Thank God I live in London! If I lived anywhere else (besides Paris or New York) I think I'd die! With out TopShop or Selfridges!

Need to shop...

Darn look what's happened now! I had gone a whole month without buying something!

URGE TO SHOP TO HARD TO CONTROL!

[Stardust]

HI i won't be on for awhile i 'll miss you .:(

[Anarie]

We'll miss you too. :)

[Fleur]

I couldn't live without the Laines. They have the coolest shops ever, most of them one offs or small brighton based chains.

Like, Hocus Pocus! wow whatta great shop. And I get a lot of clothes from Greenwich Village and retro shops.. but one high street dhip I have to admit I would find it hard without is Hennes! I love it! So cool, so cheap!

[Remus]

Ditto. Without the Laines I don't know where I'd be ! :eek: :confused:

I'm just annoyed because now loads of the shops that used to be cool have turned all weird (and not particularly nice) as a really horrible chain store takes them over ! But there are loads of other shops left that are great (plus there is, as Fleur said, always Hennes).

[Fleurdelacour]

Oh! If you ever go to Covent Garden you two, go to Blackout II in Covent Garden it's a really cool vintage shop that does all cool glamorus stuff from the 1920s to the 1990s!

Sophie Ellis Bextor and Kelly Osbourne shop there :)

[Fleur]

Blackout II... I'll remember that!

eekness. Me and Remus didn't do too well in the dance audition, Well, that is to say, we weren't asked to stay back. :(

Oh well! Tomrrow we can impress them with our great singing abilities!

[Fleurdelacour]

Oh dear :(

You can wow (and hey maybe even woe ;) ) them with your angelic voices! :D

[Fleur]

Yeyness! I got called back for the singing audition! And my name was the first as well!!!!

I am slightly reassured now. BUT there will be np recalls so I don't have any chance to better my performance grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh well.....

What else is happening?

[Fleurdelacour]

We're back, ish. I think.

Slytherin Green, they're against us ;)

Thank you Colli for pming me! I cant seem to rely, it keeps on logging me out.

RAVENCLAWS ARE BACK!

[Molk Fx]

You never left... Ravenclaw House (http://www.council-of-elrond.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=196)

[Fleurdelacour]

While you're there, set the styleset to purple!

[Fleurdelacour]

Ooh thanks for that!

Missed the funky purple! :)

[Fleur]

The purple is indeed funky. What would be really cool if it was red and green though!

[Elfëa]

Christmas crazy Fleur? ;)

I like the purple. :)

[Ravenclaw]

Snazzy

Goodness, I missed this!

Raven conjures up a green reclinable chair.

Raven: Hm, now this will just not do!

WIth another wave of her wand, the chair is warpped in blinking red lights.

Raven: Better. :D

Sighing, she plops down in her chair, snaps her fingers for some hot cocoa and ginger snaps and falls into a good book.

[Elfëa]

Nice chair you got :D

Elfea sits down on the floor in front of the fireplace

I love living fire :)

[Stardust]

Rav!!!long time no see???:)
Whats up?

[Ravenclaw]

My brother's visiting from Christmas and I just baked cookies all day yesterday and the day before that and I think I have fungus growing between my toes, but that was too much information and you really didn't want to know what was going in my life so I have got to stop taking that "What's up?" question seriosuly.

[Elfëa]

LOL...

At least is wasn't "how's it hanging?" question -

(Jim Carrey in Liar Liar... ;))

[Stardust]

Um,acuallt i did want to know.:) :D

[MysticMariel]

lala i know im a bit late but o well
name's mariel naberrie
i love ravenclaw and we rock
hehehe sry im stupid don't mind me

[Ravenclaw]

Well, let ME be the first to welcome you to the BESTEST house in the Harry Potter world:

RAVENCLAW

Huggs and Butterbeer galore!

Cheers! And a Merry Christmas. And watch out for those reindeer crossings, they're nasty. And beware of UFRS (Unidentified Flying Red Sleighs). And don't forget to ask about the wife when you give Santa your Christmas list. And make sure NOT to tug on his beard; it IS real. And--

Everyone: SHUT UP, RAVE!

Raven: :o I get a little carried away.

[Cedric]

Phhhhhhhhhh, bestest...... I think'ith that Hufflepuff is being of the bestest!! So hahaha!!

Carried away? No more than anyone else :)

Welcome Mystic ;)

-Cedric

[Nandor Nymph]

Fantastic! A place for the most interesting and fantabulous house of Harry Potter!!

Don't you wish JK Rowling would write more about the most fantastic house!?

Oh another question, is most everyone here from the UK?

Nandor Nymph grabs a mug of Butterbeer

:wave:

[Ravenclaw]

Are we having a battle of the houses???

I will admit, we are having one interesting discussion over there. And here I was, thinking Ravenclaw was the smarter house.

However, I will have to say (seeing as I am in the comfort of my own house) that I have to agree with these fine (or finest) people here. Nandor Nymph, MysticMariel and everyone. Ravenclaw is the, ahem, better house (and person, for that matter ;)).


Of course, you know I would never say this anywhere but here, me being the diplomat that I am.

[Elfëa]

Ravenclaw is interesting house... not to mention ppl in it are smart... but they're usually the loved ones - JRK hasn't really mentioned anyone from Ravenclaw unless they're someone's crush, date or bf/gf...

:) I'd probably be a Ravenclaw - go unnoticed through the series... ;)

But I won't comment which house I'd want to be in. ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

I'm from Ireland but live here, in good ole Britian... Well flooded Britian... The rain was to heavy this morning it was like a waterfall running down my window! :eek:

:wave:

I forgot about us!!

BUTTERBEER! :D

[Ravenclaw]

I PRACTICALLY live in London. We go there at least twice a year...

OK, so i don't live there, but hey! It's hard to travel from over here, especially when the stupid airlines don't have any competition so they think they can do anything they want... Lousy Egypt Air. The flight was delayed from six to ten PM, the service was terrible, AND my mum lost her luggage ON THE SAME FLIGHT! And when they found her bag again, they refused to deliver. And we didn't even have a car, how were we supposed to pick it up???

I hate the stupid way they run this place. Everyone's so lazy!

I'm American, BTW, for those of you who're wondering. But I'm a TCK so I've been all over.

Forgot about us, Fleur? How could you forget???

[Elfëa]

Oh another question, is most everyone here from the UK?
Ooops, I knew I forgot something...

I'm not from UK, except for the fact I'm supposed to live there for next three years... well, most of the year :)
I'm from Finland ans I study in a university in Northern Wales :) Been there for 4 months, right now on holidays visit family in Finland :D
Going back soon... can't wait... back to the floods :p Well, at least it's away from the cold! :eek: - it's -30 C here now!

[Stardust]

I live in the US of A.:) but we can drive to tronto.:)

[Nandor Nymph]

Well I am from Canada! Good ol' windy prairies in the middle of Canada. It's usually about -30C here too in the winter but so far this winter it's been rather warm.

I've heard of all the floods!! Crazy stuff, floods aren't fun. We've had major floods here too.

Ravenclaw is without a doubt my favourtie house. I just wish Rowling would write more about it!!!! And mention the Grey Lady a little more than once.

I was reading previous stuff about how dreary and horrible school is. I agree!! In a few days my winter holiday will be over :(

Must spend as much time as possible doing fun stuff!

Thanx for the welcome :)

[Ravenclaw]

Hey, Elfëa, call me dense, but I didn't know you were from Finland! lol!

Yeah, another TCK! I knew a girl and her brother from Finland. They were really nice. Names were Salla and Sampo. I think that's how you spell his name... I didn't know him that well. Met them in Belgium. It was colder there than it is here, but probably not as cold as what you Finish and Canadian and Russian people are used to. Actually, most DEFINATELY not that cold.

I desperately need snow. Who ever heard of a dust storm on Christmas day? :(

Of course those in Australia know warm Decembers all the time, don't you guys?

[Elfëa]

Salla and Sampo? wow... Sampo is rather old "fashioned" name - it's from Kalevala! :D Salla is not so common girl's name, but I like it :p
Personally I wouldn't name anyone Sampo cause it's a name of a bank and was a machine of endless richess in Kalevala...

-30 is not usual in the part of Finland I live in... I can't remember when it's been this cold! :eek:

I hope my town hasn't got the floods... But I doupt - I haven't seen any bigger rivers near there... :p

[Fleurdelacour]

It's... Its MEANT TO SNOW TONIGHT!!!!

It's gonna stop raining! It's gonna start snowing! NO MORE RAIN! NO MORE RAIN!!

SNOW!

There where flood warnings in GREENWICH! THE THAMES FLOOD BARRIER IS IN WOOLWICH! NEXT TO GREENWICH!!! :eek:

[Elfëa]

Anyone knows anything about the floods in Wales? :eek:

It's not snowing here either, but the tempature has gone up a little... It's only -26 C here....

[Stardust]

we have snow.:) But we did not get out of school.:( mean mr lotts.:mad:

[Fleurdelacour]

I forgot what I saw gonig to say...

It#s not flooding in Wales... Just South England... Typical, Everyone in the North East gets blankets of white snow!

Still no snow... Has the Met office lied to us once again!

[Amberion]

We are far more likely to have +30 rather than -30 here

We all dream of snow at christmas

And we are currently in the middle of a drought:( :( :(

[Elfëa]

No floods in Wales?

Why did our stupid weather program say there were?? :confused:

I don't like the cold anymore... it's too cold and I've caught a cold... :(

I can hardly speak... but come to think of that, most people are only happy about it...

Snow in North England? What about Wales? :D (Can't we have snow there??? Oh, can we?? :D)
There was snow on Snowdon when I left, but none where I live...

[Fleurdelacour]

I think it snowed in North Wales... In fact, it's snowing everywhere bar London... :(

They said it would snow, so I came out of the cinema today, hopngi for a blanket over the carpark. but no! IT WAS COLD! Stupid weather, oh well, TTT was good, agian :)

[Elfëa]

TTT was good again :)

It's tooooooo cold here - it hasn't been snowing at all... only cold, cold, cold (between -25 C and -30 C) and I've got a cold... :(

[Fleurdelacour]

:jawdrop: That is bloody cold! And no snow! Curse the weather CURSE IT! Your toes must be numb..!!

I woke up to a delicate covering of... ICE!

Pah...

again, yes, slip of the finger ;)

I think I'm seeing it again on Saturday or Sunday with my mum... I've never seen a film so many times for free! :D

[Ravenclaw]

Do you think the lack of snow in the world is a global thing? We all can't blame it on the greenhouse effect because, according to you guys, it's still freezing cold. Hm....

[Fleurdelacour]

2003 is meant to the the warmiest year ever... I'd start stocking up on the ice cubes Rave'....

Stupid thing is we had rather warmish tempratures last week, and pouring rain. Then it gets freeezing cold, 0 tempratures etc, but no rain! Just sweet bloody sunshine...

So annoying!

Well on ITV Weather they said snow for London on Wednesday. I can only prey...

[MysticMariel]

Hello fellow Ravenclaws. Sorry I haven't been in here for awhile. I love Ravenclaw. I would be in Slytherin but I'm to smart to be there. I'm not going to say much because I'm trying to talk on the phone and type at the same time. So talk to ya later.

[Stardust]

HI,Bye,and nice to meet you.:)

[Fleurdelacour]

To smart for Slytherin! lol :D

Welcome! :D Enjoy your stay

IT SNOWED!!!

:D

[Stardust]

wow,cool.snow's the best.:)

[Ravenclaw]

When it snows in Hell, it will snow in Egypt... Or maybe even not then. But I'm glad to hear you saw some snow, Fleur! At least some of us are benefitting from the coldness of the season!

[Stardust]

We have a stupid super intendint never never gives us a snow day when we have major snows.:mad: :) :D
i'm glad for you fleur ,becuase snow is magical.:)

[Fleurdelacour]

Silly super indentant... Throw snowballs at him ;)

I also hate the silly people who do something to the footpaths to make them all slushy and slippy... Its all this weird brown stuff making it slushy and slippy... It's easier walking on the snow then the slush... Right?...

[Amberion]

especially if you're an elf:D

[Stardust]

The brown stuff is salt .they do itso there aren't ice patchs on the sidewalk,so people won't silp.:)
we should throw snow balls at him,but we might get suspand.:( :)

[Nandor Nymph]

There is snow here! Although it's freakishly warm here. Canadian Prairies are not suppose to be in the + side in the middle of winter, but we are. Very strange indeed.

Have been away for a while because stupid computer was virus ladden.

Hate viruses. Am also sick of winter and love the warm balmy weather.

Is it still flooding badly in the UK?

[Fleurdelacour]

Silly virusus, they're evil things...

Nope not flooding here! Snow, in fact... Infact, I slipped on some ice which was on the pebble drive going up to school, bashed my hip and head on the stones... Fun...

Our new DT teacher taught Rio Ferdinand, and the Steven Lawrence killers! :eek:

[Stardust]

Yikes, that sounds like it hurt.Who did he teach???:confused: :(

[Fleurdelacour]

Rio Ferdinand, he's a famous footballer :D I don't likes him though.... Plays for Man U...

And the killers of Steven Lawrence, a racial attack, years ago, he says it was definatly those who were bought to trail at first, but found not guilty, then the police found new evidence I heard but cant retrial them... Mr and Mrs Lawrence got OBEs for thier work.

It does hurt... :rolleyes: Silly ice, it was fun as I sorta fell, lol! But whern you actually hit the ground, it hurts, a lot...

[Stardust]

Yes and if you do on an ice rink theres the risk of getting major cuts,:)

[Ravenclaw]

Oops, down we fall... um, can't get up... No one's noticed I've fallen down and am laying on this ice... uh oh, they're skating closer... AH! GET THOSE SKATES AWAY! AWAY I SAY!

Buffy chopped a demon's head off with an ice skate once. It was gruesom.

Bah. If my teacher said he had 'taught' murderers, I'd ask if he had a record.

[Elfëa]

I was home for three weeks, it was freezing all the time and icy but I didn't even fall once! :D

hmm... should I be proud? Well, if I tell you I wore some heels all the time, perhaps then :p

I wonder how my toes are doing... I didn't have winter shoes (cold doesn't matter inside... I can stay in PJ's all day :D)

[Fleurdelacour]

Mmm, stay in PJs all day! That's such an easy thing to do! :D I didn't have winter shoes either... Not any snow?! Mad!

I think I would have gotten frost bite making my snowhobbit. Snowise is currently melting to death...

[Nandor Nymph]

I have snow boots, but they ripped this weekend!!!! It's now freezing and windy. I have no boots!!!

Ah well, will stay home in PJs..go on net....watch Legs speaking elvish....eat ginger bread cookies...oh, and study for Exams.

AHHHH Exams tomorrow. Someone kill me quick!

[Elfëa]

Exam! Tomorrow!

is there someone who looks like me and knows loads about English Literature? ;)

FleurD, I of course, meant it didn't snow at all... there was snow, loads of it :p (well, it certainly won't melt in -30C! :D)

I've got two exam questions still to prepare.
I just got notification that my student grant won't be paid until I sent some papers again. I swear I've sent those papers before but :mad: :mad:
I hate this all. I hate it.

and I'm near to tears all the time and don't know why. :mad:

[Mellon]

Elfëa, :hug:. PM me if you want to talk. :)

Student grants and loans and so on - what fun. :rolleyes: They just love to make our lives difficult, don't they?

[Elfëa]

Yeps. They really do. :mad:

Tg I still have money on my account... otherwise I'd be somewhere deep...

And then I couldn't go the Naked Gandalf Day meet in London! :eek:

[Nandor Nymph]

What is this Naked Gandalf day???

I hate exams. Hate school. French essays...what fun. I take forever to figure out what I could possibly ever write .

"La fuite de temps dans la poésie..." BAH!!!


hehe the Wizard of Oz is playing on TV. I'd ask for genius-like creativity.

[Elfëa]

Dunno why it's Naked Gandalf Day - I never got the answer when I asked :D

But there's a meet in London that weekend and I'm going there :) (I think there's a thread about it in Fan Gatherings... Europe)

I'll have my first university exam ever today and I'm getting nervous...

I know I haven't prepared enough... oh well, it's fine as long as I'll pass it :) I do hope I'll... :eek:

[Revenant]

....Naked Gandalf....?

Rev takes a few steps in, and starts to back, back out of the room at the sound of these words

Do I want to be here? :p

[Fleurdelacour]

That's exactly what I did ;)

Naked Gandalf.... Strange thought.

I am now going to poke out my mind's eye...

[Revenant]

Well, He is a very manly man.......

.....

Rev runs off to the bathroom

[Elfëa]

Well, it might have something to do with fighting the balrog :p

Erm... I must warn you... there are things in the bathroom... ;)

I think we left the cave troll there, didn't we? ;)

[Revenant]

Rev comes out of the bathroom eating a large piece of fried meat

Yeah, you left a cave troll in there....Mmmmm...:D

[Elfëa]

Elfea :barf:

Ooops, I'm terribly sorry, did I puke badly on you Rev? :o :o


;) :p

[Revenant]

Luckily for Rev, he dove out of the way just in time

I must say, you got some nice distance with that one... I am utterly amazed, it must've went 15 feet! :rolleyes:

He calls for some house elves, and they dispose of the mess

So whatcha wanna do now? ;)

[Elfëa]

well, I'm not going to go anywhere near that troll flesh...

IT STINKS! :mad:

[Revenant]

It's all cooked, I can assure you.

Rev pats his wand lovingly under his cloak

Well, shall we get going? I hear it's a lovely night to view the stars. ;)

[Elfëa]

hmm... and it's almost full moon... are you sure there aren't any werewolves roaming around... ;)

[Revenant]

Rev continues holding her hand as he pushes the main door open. He looks around a bit, then shrugs

I'm sure they'll think twice about messing with us. :D

[Elfëa]

hmm... and what if I told you you're holding hands with one of them? ;)

[Revenant]

Well, I might quite enjoy being ravaged but such a nice looking wolf such as yourself. ;)

[Elfëa]

:p

And you did buy that, didn't you :p

Ha :p

[Revenant]

Buy what? I bought nothing. ;)

Rev smirks a little and looks at the moonlight reflect out of her eyes

[Elfëa]

Hmm...

and should I buy that? ;)

[Revenant]

Rev smiles and goes running off towards the Forest

Catch me if you can.

[Stardust]

Rev we need people in the grrls club.:( nobody's there.

[Elfëa]

Damn.

I hate running...

takes her wand out from her robes

Stupefy!

[Revenant]

Rev counters the simply curse and watchs Elfëa run away

Until we meet again I guess...;)

[Elfëa]

Elfea runs away only to find...




her way to pay back :p

[Revenant]

Rev begins to wonder if Elfëa is feeling quite alright and watches her run into a large tree

Oww...that had to hurt.......

.......


:swoon: :swoon: :swoon:

[Elfëa]

Owie... :(

Elfea thinks for a moment and then turns back and runs to Rev...

wonder if that'll scare him... ;)

[Revenant]

Rev smiles sweetly at her

I don't frighten easily. ;)

He chuckles a little and sits down on the steps to look up at the stars

[Elfëa]

You don't see stars so well in this poor country - it's never dark enough. :(

I love the place I come from for it's wildness and emptiness.

Oh... you don't frighten easily? hmm...

So, what do you fear, fair lord? ;) (but two fighting woman? :p)

[Revenant]

I don't fear the women fighting, I only don't like the thought of two such beauties ruining each other's faces. ;) As for what I truly fear, I guess you'll have to force it out of me. ;)

[Elfëa]

hmm...

and what way you wish me to force it??? ;)

[Revenant]

Rev leans over and whispers to her

;)

[Elfëa]

Elfea blushes..

[Stardust]

Rev,not here if your going to do that go to the grrls club,Okay??
:)

[Revenant]

Rev goes slightly red too

You know, she was the only one supposed to hear that. ;)

[Stardust]

Well don't say that around me ,because i have super sensative ears ,because i have to hear the wispers of the star spirits.:D

[Elfëa]

Hey, I didn't say anything :p

[Revenant]

Rev fixes a halo over his head

I'm a good boy. :D

Lightning strikes a few inches from him

Uhh.....right then!

Rev carefully puts the halo down and backs away

Darn sensative....He mumbles a bit more until lightning strikes right behind him

I'm just gonna shut up now...

[Stardust]

you'd better.:mad:
gil is a star that thinks and fends for her self.:)

[Nandor Nymph]

I am confused....what is this grrrl club? :confused:

Well anyway it was entertaining what you were just doing :)

[Fleurdelacour]

Its quite scary what they've been doing ;) They've taken over Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, with weirdness ;)

[Stardust]

The Grrls Club is a house in angband where women rule and can men only drool.:D :) All grrls are welcome.:)

[Elfëa]

Fleur... AM not WEIRD :p wait....I am :o Sowwy...

Stardust... Angband? I don't dare to travel so far... I'm already daring when I've travelled this far from KD, my original home... :eek:

And Rev, teasing skies and possible gods is never a good thing... :p

[Revenant]

I can take you to Angband Elfëa, it's not so bad there, and you'll be with me, I won't let anything bad happen to you...:D

Rev walks over and whispers something to Elfëa

;)

[Elfëa]

smiles :p

Nah, I've got enough to handle here... :p
(and at KD...)

There are not enough hours in day if I travel to Angband too... :p I'm in the bad habit of posting a loads... ;)

[Revenant]

Yeah, I had to goto therapy for posting to much. ;) It was horrible, but once you get on the 12 step plan, its all good. ;) It's good to see you smiling too. :D

[Elfëa]

Ah, I smile easily :p It does not tell a thing I think :p


Elfea has no theraphy! Elfea needs no theraphy! :p
There is none than me worse at KD except brooks ;)... as you might know :p

[Revenant]

Hmm, In my olden days, I fancied myself quite a menace to KD and Imldris, but alas, I've slowed down in my old age...(or just stopped caring) ;) You better watch were you stick that tongue, it could get you in trouble one of these days. ;)

[Elfëa]

You better watch were you stick that tongue, it could get you in trouble one of these days.

Why does everyone keep telling me that? :confused:

My tongue is mine to stick it where ever I want to :p

[Stardust]

Of course you can.:)

[Revenant]

Personally, I offer no objections to wear you stick your tongue, it is your tongue, I just want you to be careful. ;)

[Elfëa]

Don't worry, I'm not going to stick it into anything :p

[Stardust]

Here's some ice cream on a cone.:D

[Elfëa]

I'm on diet :p

[Revenant]

But you see it fit to eat large amounts of chocolate? :confused: :rolleyes: ;)

[Elfëa]

Nope.

The chocolate knows its way to tempt me :mad:

[Revenant]

Rev holds out a bar of chocolate in front of Elfëa

Mmm, I bet it's so sweet and tasty....

[Elfëa]

uhum...

if is...

Elfea is tempted by the chocolate... she hasn't eaten since lunch... which was about 12 hours ago...

No thanks :p

[Revenant]

Rev opens it a little and sniffs it

Mmm, it smells so good, and sweet, and creamy....:rolleyes:

[Elfëa]

No. No. No.

:mad:

Elfea runs off

[Revenant]

Rev shrugs and takes a large bite of the candy bar

Oh well, more for me I guess....

[Elfëa]

Yup.

under her breath Stay strong. Stay Strong. Don't think chocolate...

[Revenant]

Rev continues to chew the chocolate, slowly and antagonistically, making over the top 'mmm' sounds with each jaw movement

This chocolate sure is good. It's oh so sweet. And it practically melts on your tongue! Mmmmmmm....

[Elfëa]

hmm...

No.


I think the temptation is gone :p

[Revenant]

Oh...ok then.

Rev takes the rest of the chocolate bar and throws it out a nearby window

Too bad then.

He walks past Elfëa and over to a seat

[Stardust]

I found out my crushes name.:D :)
Yeeeeeepiiiiiii:)

[Fleurdelacour]

We should celebrate!

:beer: :D

[Elfëa]

Yes, celebrate! Butterbeer! :beer:

[Revenant]

Rev takes out his own little canteen

I'd rather celebrate with this. :D

[Ravenclaw]

Methinks is time to revive this old thread.........

Bah, let's see if I can come up with anything G-Rated (argh...) to talk about....

I was TRYING to get to "This is our Youth" two days ago in Picadilly, but those silly protesters made it sooooo difficult. And the busses only went to Oxford Street so we had to walk in the cold and I was freezing cause I live in friggin Egypt and I forgot that it's cold in the rest of the world.

Me and my older friend Hilary were following this group with signs and stuff, and it almost looked like we were a part of it.

By the time the play was over, though, and we had gotten Freddie Prinze Jr's autograph, they had gone (we saw the matinee).

Is anyone else in warmer places than the states LONGING to be stuck in the blizard on the East Coast?

[Fleurdelacour]

I live amongst it ;) The protesters aren't silly...

It hasn't been that cold! OK, it is quite cold... Sunny, but cold...

I'm suprised the buses around there were running, with the protests!

Stupid fat buses... I hate them. HATE THEM SO MUCH! WHAT SORT OF BUS SERVICE DOES LONDON RUN!?

Actually! WE HAVE TO PAY TO GET INTO OUR ON CITY VIA CAR!!! :mad: :mad:

[Revenant]

It's not fun to be living in the blizzard! There's about 90 cm of snow out there and it's still coming down....but hey, I get to miss school...:)

[Stardust]

Okay i live in blizzard country ,and thats stupid having to pay to get in the city.:)

[Fleurdelacour]

We had 'blizzards' a few weeks ago ;)

It's stupid... Five bloody quid... :rolleyes: :mad:

Mumble wimble... grr (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2772583.stm)

[Revenant]

If anyone tried to make you pay to get into the town I live by, they would be shot on site.

[Fleurdelacour]

What town do you live in? lol! Then again, if the charge was brought in to south london.. :eek: I live in a good area, celebrities flock here... ish... Nicole Kidman :notworthy James Nesbit :D

But, next door in Brixton, they get the Al Qaeda blokes...

[Stardust]

Okay so there not exaclyblizzards but the year i was in fifth grade we did have a small blizzard,got us out of school for three days.:)

[Elfëa]

Why don't blizzards ever close schools in Finland? :mad: :rolleyes:

[Remus]

It would take something to knock the entire school down before my head teacher would close the school. He only closed the school earlier this term for a couple of days because the temperature was so low inside that it was illegal to keep us all in school. So I very much doubt blizzards would stop him keeping the school open (as per usual :rolleyes: )

[Elfëa]

Blizzards don't close schools in Finland - but they might prevent some people getting to school if the busses don't run :p But most kids live on walking distance from their primary school...

Is it cold there somewhere south? It's totally sunny and snowless here in North Wales :D Well, we do have minus degrees at night...

[Ravenclaw]

:( I know blizards are classified as 'disasters,' desturbing people's everyday lives, a tow-trucks Christmas Bonus, closing down businesses and educational offices, not to mention how difficult it is to stay warm... And of course, there is the occasional loss of life due to icey roads and avalanches and what not...

But I just can't STAND knowing that in places only a few latitude lines above me are getting like five feet of snow a week! You want to know what I see in March? Sand. Lots and lots of sand.

It's actually kind of funny, though. Here I am, longing to be in New York or Maryland or DC or Jersey, or heck, even Main, just to be barricaded in my house, away from school, watching the snow fall by a fire and watching It's A Wonderful Life with my Dominoes Pizza I had to trudge in the snow to pick up cause they don't deliver in this weather... wow... runon sentence...

And yet, there are people who are on the East Coast that tell me "Wow, you get sand storms? That must be AWESOME! Way cooler than all this SNOW! I mean, you get piles of SAND at your doorstep!" Let me tell you this. Sand does not pack as easily as snow, so when you make a 'sandball' it scatters as soon as you throw it. Secondly, it's also really hard to shovel out of your living room. Thirdly, living in Egypt, with the polution and the sandstorms, is like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day and my lungs don't like that. AND you can't see a bloody thing that's two inches in front of your nose! Cough cough cough is all you do. :(. I ate my sandwitch outside in a light Khamsin (sandstorm) and got sand all over it. It smells like crazy. Practically the only cool thing about it is the sky turns orange. And you rarely get school off cause of it either, unless it's really bad.

I want snow so badly it's not funny. Got to London last Friday, friends said they had more snow than usual that Wednessday, but it had melted. They said the same thing when I got to Brussles. It really really sucked. In Europe for a week didn't see one snow flake. Bah. I think I'm cursed.

[Fleurdelacour]

It's snowyish in Scotland... It's always snowy there...

It's been frezzing down here but sunny too Elfea... Not that I've left the house since Friday (lazy, moi?) I couldn't even be bothered to get my bible, heat magazine today. :rolleyes:

[Ravenclaw]

Time for another change of subject.

I have a question:

You know this smilie: :beer:

Is that, by chance, promoting alcoholism?

And this one: :barf:

Is this not a tad disgusting?

And this smilie: :devil:

Could this, perhaps promote devil worship?

And of course, the age-old debate: :trout:

Could this be considered an act of violence, especially for the poor trouts involved???


I, of the BFC Organization (Better Future for our CHildren) suggest these horrible, terrible expressions of emotions be CENSORED.

We of the BFC are also opposed to:


Other religions that are not Christian
People/actions/things different from what we consider normal
Individuality
Freedom of Speach
Encoraging Creativity
Expression of any kind
The arts (includes music, drama, painting, writing, reading, etc.)


Note: The policies of the BFC do not in anyway imply world domination nor suppression of one's own rights and no one should ever think that that is our intentions. We at the BFC believe that people are entitled to their own opinions and thoughts, just opposed to sharing those ideas/thoughts/opinions with other people in any shape, way or form. Thank you for your time.

[Elfëa]

Huh?

You must be bored to death Rav ;)

if not...

Elfea :trout:s Ravenclaw :devil:

Cheers guys :beer:

[Ravenclaw]

Hahaha. Bored? No, just angry.

There's this group at this church here in Cairo called "Better Future for our Children" that's ticking me off. They want the world to be exactly how they think it should be: Everyone is a clone of everyon else and no one is allowed to have their own opinion.

They censor everything in sight. Even spray paint on the sides of buildings because they think it "spoils the minds of children with Satan's lies!" God, they're just a bunch of hypocritical snobs if you ask me.

Good thing they don't have any real power, otherwise they could get together with some neo-nazis! AH!

They're scary. ANd you think living in a third world country like this would give them a wider mind instead of a narrower one. :rolleyes:

[Fleurdelacour]

I think she's broken! Rav opposed to the arts! :p

I am very sad and need help! I got the bus to Charing Cross to meet my friend, so we could go to the British Musuem, and, yes sad old me walked through Lesciester Square... LAst night hte Baftas were there... Everything was still there apart from the red carpet, then there I go walking down the pavement going

"Nicole Kidman walked here last night! She won best actress!" etc ;)

The annoying thing is, Im always in L. Square AFTER an award ceremony or premiere..

:rolleyes:

[Elfëa]

I like Leicester Square. I've been there twice :D

I drove through Rotterdam in Holland! lol

Ooh! Anyone hear that a Simpsons episode will be set in London and JKR will meet Lisa outside a bookshop :D

The thing is, us Brits, wont get this episode for yeeaars.... Not had a new episode of The Simpsons in about three years... :rolleyes: :mad:

[Elfëa]

I think I can count the times I've watched Simpsons voluntarily with one hand.

:p

Yeah, I don't like them :rolleyes:

[Colli]

Same here, Elfea. I've probably only seen one full episode.


Turns out Ian McKellen's going to be in it, too.

And it's going to be full of cliche British jokes... I for once might have to watch it. ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

I hate British clieche jokes... :rolleyes: You get your posh English porter, and your poor cockney! You get lots of red buses and views of Big Ben! lol

I hate cockney jokes (half cockney accent meself ;) ) they're so annoying... And shoe-shine boys! Where'd that come from? :confused:

Did anyone hear about the lady who licked an envelope, and got a small suprise days later?...

[Xazinon]

Aww, come on now! Cockney is cute and endearing! :D

Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, Parker in Thunderbirds: I'm sorry, but if there's a better TV character anywhere other than Parker, you're delusional! Or am I delusional...

Nope! Parker rules! :)

Chim-chimeny, chim-chimeny, chim-chim-churoo... ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

JKR IS ON TELLY! :D Cant hear it though.... Harry Potter spoof right now!

It's hilarious, Dawn Frenc as Harry,Jennifer Saunders as Ron! RONNIE CORBET AS HAGRID! GENIUS! :D

Right now, Ron is flirting like mad with Hermione! :D

Yes, :mad: cute and enduring. lol, the other half is just normal English, that's what you get going to school in east london *sigh* lol

[Stardust]

Did i tell you we read hp 3 in my lang art class.:)

[Elbereth94]

How lucky for you! I wish we read more interesting stuff like that in class.

A little off topic (ok, a LOT of topic.), but I have a two questions and I was wondering if someone could answer them.

1) How do I get an avatar?

2) How do I get the writings under my name?

Okay, thats all. This site is so amazing I spend like ALL my time online here.:D

Writing under your name (http://www.muggleinformer.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3283)

You should check the Information Booth board if you want to know any more stuff like this: that's where these links come from. That place pretty much has the answers to all your questions, I think. :)

Always wanted to be in Ravenclaw... aren't they the "smart" ones? Hey Fleur, Xaz, Colli! May I join up with y'all?

[Fleurdelacour]

Yes :D Woohoo, new member, bout time too!

Welcome Terry, worshipping of Ewan Mcgregor is mandatory ;)

[Terry]

I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with swooning for Ewan!!! Does that mean I'm in? Yea! I'm a Ravenclaw! The "smart" group!! Thanks for the welcome, Fleur.

[Stardust]

Yep!
I got clobbered by a frizzbee today.:)
My head was were it hit.:)

[Colli]

I'm Hufflepuff, actually. ;)

Although I probably belong in Ravenclaw

[Fleurdelacour]

Come and join us.... Join us... Join us... I would goon, but my fingers only have a certain life span.... Yessss.... Snape would want you too mother.... Hufflepuffs are dipsticks.... yes dipsticks... as Del Boy would say.... Wooowooo!!

"I would goon"? Fleur, what does that mean? Oh gosh. Got to go mow the grass. It's going to friggin' rain again tonight!!!

I'm happy to be here. See some people I recognize. Y'all are a trip!

[Stardust]

Yeah Don't say any thing about poor stardust.:mad: :mad:

[Elfëa]

I don't belong to any of the houses, does that make me a professor? :cool:

[Xazinon]

Ooh, I never joined a house this time either, though all those online tests seem to put me in Ravenclaw. Except for the official HP one that is, which put me in Slytherin: must think that I have an evil side under all this sweetness! ;)

Ouch, Stardust! Frisbee to the head? You should've ducked! My brother shattered a frisbee by throwing into my leg once: that kinda hurt a bit! I feel your pain. ;)

Nah, you're just a loner Elfea ;)

Join us anyhoo! We're alledgedly 'clever' ;)

An evil side Xaz? I feel betrayed...

[Terry]

OH. Hee, hee. I get it, Fleur! I thought maybe it was a euphemism for, I don't know, something Europeon and trendy?

A frisbee to the leg and and head? Ouch! Those things kinda scare me, flying all about you....

[Stardust]

My face is swollen where it hit.:)
Weehee the weekend.

[Elfëa]

Loner me? Nah, I just like solemnity... ;)

[Terry]

Indeed, Stardust. The weekend. :notworthy

[Elfëa]

Yeah, weekend. And loads of work for exams and portfolios... :rolleyes:

I so hope that Amazon will deliver my books tomorrow... Should have ordered them earlier, but I couldn't decide do I really need them...:o

Ah yes, me too FleurD: I thought I was sweet as sweet could be, but the HP site seems to see something in me. I mean, I said I'd hand the lost money in and they STILL put me in Slytherin. What self respecting Slytherin would do that? ;)

A plague on the official HP site, I say! Defy me will they? They'll soon learn not to mess with this cool cat! Mwahahaha! Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Xaz stops cackling evilly and looks around, slightly embarrased.

Despite that slight lapse, I'm not evil at all, I promise! ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

I said I'd save it. I'm really mean with money. I probably wouldn't ever spend it... :p

Just don't join an alliance with the penguins and you'll be alright ;)

Well, I hope you'll be...

[Stardust]

I am confused:(

[Elfëa]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I got my copies of American Gods and Coraline today!!! :D

::goes back to reading::

Actually, I've read Coraline already and am half way through American Gods...:o

[Terry]

Stardust, Fleur has found a really strange (and funny!) site about penguins. Be warned! They're kinda scary! I'd post it but I'm a techno-phobe! Fleur, however, has posted it in the "swoon" thread.....

[Stardust]

interesting !wow you read fast Elfea!:)

[Gil-Estel]

hehe StarDust your face WAS NOT swollen!!!(Sometimes a little sister must put her in her place!) oh pooey gotta go to bed:P

[Elfëa]

I'm fast reader - I finished American Gods only an hour of schedule.. At 1am... :p)

[Fleurdelacour]

So how long do you reckon it'll take you to read OotP? ;)

It took be months to read FotR alone! I did keep on loosing it though...

Spending August reading RotK, I have a reading schedule every summer... :rolleyes: :o

[Terry]

Hey, Fleur, that depends on if you shed all responsibilites, stay home from work/school and do nothing BUT read.

I read the whole trilogy in 4 weeks. Missed class, skipped homework, got in trouble with teachers and parents.....Now, I'm NOT advocating that, mind you!

And that was fift, er, um, twen, er......SOME years ago.

I read the GoF in about 8 hours... or less. Annoyed the boss, used up sick time.....did I say the word responsible?

OoTP? I'll read it in a day! But then I'm a fast reader, and for some reason that makes me an incredibly bad speller! So there's a trade off. Well, we have about 6 weeks to compare reading notes! ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

I read GoF on my way from London to Gurnesea, read about Cedrid's death whilst on a ferry in the English Channel :lol:

I had nothing to do for twelve hours, so read it was! I read in the Little Chef! I risked my book with the grease from that horrible motorway station! ;)

now my prescious copy is in the hands of Ms Warond (more like walrus) ten miles away in a science lab drawer...

I'm so glad Ootp comes out after the GCSEs. Such a bloody relief, I was panicing thinking it'd be during them! :eek:

[Stardust]

Wow!:)

[Terry]

OH Fleur! Your book got confiscated??! I'd die if I couldn't peruse mine every once in awhile. Poor thing! Can we put a hex on Ms. Walru...er Warond, do ya thinK? What shall we do to her, hmmmm?

[Elfëa]

Hmm... after reading American Gods and Coraline in same day (that +800 pages) I think I can do the same with OotP :p


Yup. I'm going to read it, as soon as I'll get it...

I'm going to be Finland, and I've got no idea whether they'll have the English copies as soon as here. And Amazon is just way too expensive!!! (to deliver to Finland. :()

[Stardust]

We already have ours ordered.:)

[Gil-Estel]

hehe of course we do but it doesn't matter everyone will read it at the same time as us maybe before

Hmmm maybe I should read American Gods after all it is just sitting around out in the other room

[Stardust]

Gil go Away:)

[Gil-Estel]

Have I ever listened to you? No! Will I start now? No! So you go away!;)

[Elfëa]

;) Nownow sisters;)

I do recommend American Gods... hmm... think i'd might just well go home and read it again... :p Cause the comps are totally messed up now...

[Gil-Estel]

hehe I think I will agree with you and read it tomorrow but I need mes beauty sleep

[Xazinon]

Well, seeing as how all the other houses seem to have risen to the top of the threads, I thought we should get Ravenclaw up there too! And if that means I have to join Ravenclaw to do it, well, by gum I guess I have to! :D

Marches importantly towards the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room, walking at full pace into the concealed entrance and falling on the floor. He gets up rubbing his rear and grins sheepishly.

Oh, right... the password... but I don't know the password, I'm new!

Xaz adopts a thoughtful expression.

Umm... fizzing whisbee? No...

Open Sesame? Nah...

YMCA? Hmmm...

Xaz sits down outside the entrance, scowling and thinking hard.

*sigh* This may take a while...

[Cedric]

http://www.nature.com/nsu/020603/images/cricket_160.jpg






Oh... By the way, it's a cricket....




Cherp cherp............ Cherp cherp.....



Aaaaaahahahahaha!


No, really, nice effort Xaz :)

-Cedric

[Xazinon]

:LOL: Nice one, Ced! :D

Xaz scowls, sitting on the cold floor outside the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room, listening to the crickets chirping in in the cool night air.

X: "Wow, this is hard... think Xaz, think!"

Xaz assumes a look of concentration and thinks hard. Suddenly, he blinks, grins and jumps up.

X: "Aha! I know! Quoth the Raven.. Nevermore!"

On the word 'Nevermore', the door to the Ravenclaw common room slowly swings open. Xaz looks at it in astonishment and almost falls over.

X: "That was it? Really? I was only kidding! Oh well!"

Xaz hurriedly steps inside the Ravenclaw common room, and gazes around with a contented sigh at the comfy looking armchairs in front of the fire and the friendly atmosphere ofthe room. A Ravenclaw student walking by looks at him curiously and waves at him. Xaz grins and waves back. As he is looking around, a girl comes up to him and holds out her hand.

Girl: "Hi, you must be new! I'm Padma Patil, Ravenclaw prefect. I'll get Anthony Goldstein, the male prefect, to show you to a room so you can settle in."

Padma gestures to Anthony, who shakes Xaz's hand and grins at him.

A: "Hi! Xazinon, right? Welcome to Ravenclaw House!"

X: "Er, thanks. Um, how do you know my name? And, if you knew I was coming, why didn't you let me on the door? I was out there for hours!"

Anthony just grins at him and, opening a door ahead of him, gestures Xaz inside. He points him to an unoccupied bed.

A: "Here you go, you can sleep here. Make yourself at home... your roommates will be along eventually, I'm sure."

Xaz looks around at the room, taking in the decor. Piles of books are strewn around the room, along with various suitcases and the like. He watches Quidditch players zoom past on the Tornados poster adorning the wall above his neighbour's bed with a smile. Xaz drops his suitcase down hext to the bed and throws himself onto the bed.

X: "Ooh, nice.. it has all the comfort and support I need and deserve. Still, this place needs something..."

With a grin, Xaz delves into his suitcase and pulls out a poster of his own. He tacks it onto the wall above his bed and stands back to admire his handiwork.

X: "Quidditch may be good, but gimme AFL any day! Go the Bombers! Nothing wrong with Muggle sports, I say!"

Xaz grins at his stationary Muggle poster and lies back on his bed with a happy sigh.

:D

[Fleurdelacour]

Welcome aboard Xaz! Well, not that we're a ship like those Durmstrangs, but, you know what I mean! :D or, at least I hope you do...

Muggle Sports! Of course there's nothing wrong with them. Football, the sports of the gods! :D

A Butterbeer Xaz? We Ravenclaws are known for our extensive supply of Butterbeer!

[Xazinon]

Why thankyou FleurD, it's nice to be here! :)

I'd be delighted to have a Butterbeer!

Xaz sits up in his bed and looks at FleurD, who is grinning at him.

X: "Hey.. how'd you get into my room anyways? I don't have girl roommates do I?"

Xaz looks around eagerly. FleurD giggles at him.

F: "Oh, girls can get into the boys dormitories, just not the other way around, remember?"

X: "Oh.. right. Stupid rules! Never mind... to the common room!"

:beer: :D

[Elfëa]

Oh, girls can get into the boys dormitories, just not the other way around, remember?"

And that I'm basing my next story on... :p

:wave:

It's been a while... and there's too much to catch up with!!! :eek: Don't feel like it... but, those who want to catch me, know where, right? ;) if not, PM me :p

[Fleurdelacour]

Bonjour Elfea :D You're missing great weather right now, it's almost 30 C, and I'm loving it! What is Finnish weather like?

So, to the Butterbeer!! :D

[Elfëa]

It was about 30C during weekend (I'm utterly sunburned :eek: ) but now it's rainy... :(

Still too lazy to catch up... can you people tell me if there's anything particular to see on this board? :D :cool:

[Fleurdelacour]

Well, if you;ve read OotP, (which I bloodu hope you have!!) then go and hug remus!

there are a few new fan fics in the fan fic forum, and a round robin thing, you might like :D

erm.... you must read mine! lol, im desperate for reviews as always....

dont forget trouting, and rambling about boredem on the bored thread.

If you expect me to remember what else is on here, then you must be joking! :p

[Ollie Loop]

i agree with your R/Hermione shipping. i ship the same with harry and ginny too.
:notworthy enough to join this thread am i?
:hug: Remus! The poor boy.....

[Xazinon]

Ooh, you should look at the Detective Agency, Elfea! Only, no-one wants to play *sigh*.... oh well, it will pick up soon hopefully! ;) Yes I am biased :D

Xaz throws himself into a couch in front of the warm Ravenclaw fire next to FleurD and clinks his glass to hers with a grin.

:beer:

Cheers! :D

Staying for a butterbeer, Elfea and Ollie? :)

[Ollie Loop]

sure why not?
:beer: cheers!

[Elfëa]

:beer: Why of course, where would I go... And beware, I might drop in at the Agency later... I'm great fan of Malfoy P.I. after all... :p

[Fleurdelacour]

:beer: :D

Oh dear... Sorry Xaz, the Agency... Ah, well I haven't been in the right state of mind since the 21st, I've completly lost it... And now I'm off on holiday tomorrow....

But yes, anyhoo!

Welcome Ollie! You have good taste already! :D :hug:

Fleurd pulls out some Honeydukes chocolate and shares it with the others before departing

Well, I'm off to Jersey for a week, then a weekend in Devon (hoping to find me a Ottery St Catchpole!)

Au Revoir! :D

[Ollie Loop]

good luck!
shares :beer:with remaining peoples :D

[Xazinon]

:beer: :D

Xaz grins and clinks glasses with Ollie and Elfea.

Glad you could all stay: it's almost like a real party now! ;)

Aww, don't worry about the Detective Agency FleurD, I was only teasing: if people want to participate in it, well and good, but there's no point in guilting people into posting. Supposed to be fun, after all! :)

Have a good holiday, FleurD: don't know what a Ottery St Catchpole is, but hope you find one! :D

Sure, drop by the agency, Elfea! I'm sure your presence would be more than welcome! Sweet of you to put me in your signature by the way! :D

[Amberion]

Amb sneaks in when Xaz's back isturned and puts up his Adelaide Crows Poster over the Essendon one

[Ollie Loop]

yummy, sweet foamy butterbeer
cheers!:beer:

Booooo! Hissssss!

Yeah yeah, you gave us a bit of a hiding, didn't you? :(

I think we were in trouble from the very start: a) not in Melbourne b) raining c) raining and no Jason Johnson d) oh yeah.. Adelaide are pretty good, too ;)

Good thing James Hird was playing or it could have been awful! *sigh*

Xaz peers over the Adelaide poster with a thoughtful, rather than angry look.

Still, this isn't all bad.. gives me a chance to test out my darts set! :devil: :D

Were you one of the ones booing the goalpost, Amb? :LOL:

[Amberion]

I did not have tickets so was watching on tv

I think we can win even without Carey so I was not that upset (did wince when it happened as it must have hurt - lots)

[Fleurdelacour]

Xaz, Iwould have thought you'd have known what Ottery St.Catchpole is! It's where the Weasleys live! :D (obbsessed, moi?)

Here I am, in Jersey, at Jersey Goldsmiths... My back is burnt.It's raw red, blistered a bit, and I cant lie back and read.... Grrrr....

This is the nearest I have got to the Internet since I left, and it's hell...TAKE ME HOME! Family arguments, galore! Fun... Oh Jersey is in a drought right now... No rain for weeks, although it was actually raining this morning, the Islanders looked as if Christmas came early!

I found my Lupins! Y'know the flowers, I've been searching for them, everywhere, and found them outside a Nazi Underground Hospital.... Oh see, the Channel Islands were occupiedby the Nazis... Bloody Nazis.... History exam on the Nazis, now this I cannot escape!!:p

Nice to see all these closed threads....:rolleyes:

Fleur sticks her Chelsea FC Football poster over the other one

[Xazinon]

It was a bit nasty, Amb: you sohlud get round goalposts like the proper footy grounds have. ;)


Xaz slaps his hand against his head and groans.
D'oh! Well, I feel stupid now, heh! I knew it sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Must be the butterbeer talking! So have you managed to find your Ottery St Catchpole, FleurD? :) Sorry your holiday isn't going so well!

Xaz starts to nod off in front of the fire in the Ravenclaw common room, butterbeer in hand, wondering idly as he starts to fall asleep whether he should be concerned at the constant stream of people entering his room and pasting over his poster.

Hmm... nah. :D

[Avada Kedavra]

why isn't hermione in ravenclaw.. i know it had to do with the sorting hat...it said something about ravenclaw...do you think its just to help harry out..or a deeper reason? maybe the sorting hat puts u where u want to be?
:confused:

[Fleurdelacour]

We didnt go to Devon after all, so I haven't found my Ottery St Catchpole, but I looked on a map and found Ottery St Mary! If that's anything...

But I'm back! no more countryside!!! :D

After it rained, it carried on raining.... and we had to endure Nazi musumes all week... But home! look buildings! tall buildings! cars! no rain! dead grass...

the grass and lilies in the garden, are dead...

Fleur finds a sofa and falls asleep on her front not touching her sunburnt back

[*AA*]

Looks around... Wow, I haven't been here for a while. Ahoy Ravenclaw! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Could it be!? AA? as in double A? As in AmericanActress?! Our Quidditch Captain?! :D

[Cedric]

Good double coated, chicken flavored, greasy as heck, gravy! She has returned!

Ced gives double A a big hug to welcome here back

So, what have you been up to? :D

You know, I gotta say FleurD, I didn't know what you were talking about at first either... Maybe it's just the fact that you live somewhere near the place, so it's easier to remember, for the mere chance that you might visit it...

Oh, and when did this discussion get to Xaz's bed??? I remember one minute we were in the common room, then next, BAM! Oh well....

Ced walks over to the growing number of posters on the wall...

Well, since I have no idea what these teams are, I'll just add my own touch...

He plunges his hand into his pocket and pulls out a big, rolled up poster of "courage the cowardly dog" and staples it on.... With that he turns around with a wink on his face and his right thumb raised to the heavens...

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Courage the cowardly dog... rings a belll for some reason...

Well, I don't live anywhere near it, its in the south of England, but that's it, it's in the West Country where people have Hagrid accents... But I live kinda inbetween Wimbledon and Elephant and Castle, where the dodgy toilets in Ootp were which is quite cool, I squeaked as I read :p :o

Fleur walks over to the poster and sticks a DOWN WITH TIMBERLAKE poster over it

sick to death of him... my sister has a worrying obsession with him.... :rolleyes:

Well, discussions sway a lot from time to time... One second we're in a comming room and we're all in a bed! hey i aint complaining!

Essendon bombers is the Australian football team that Xaz supports
Adelaide Crows the team i support (we beat his team a couple of weeks ago hence our poster ontop)
Chelsea is the english football team that FleurD supports

[Cedric]

Yeah, I kinda figured it was football... But I still have no idea who to believe has good taste :D

-Cedric

[Gil-Estel]

Stel dashes in and tacks up her Ohio State Poster

GOOO BUCKEYES!!!!
by good taste you mean the DiamondBacks I assume Ced?

[Cedric]

DiamondBacks? Say what? Are they a American football team? I don't realyl follow sports, I'd rather play anything than watch it. Though if you pressed me, I'd say that I follow basketball the most.

-Cedric

[Gil-Estel]

ARIZONA Diamonbacks are from Arizona and yess the play Football don't know the basketball team though

[Kristin]

Oh, I'm back agaaaaiiinnnn!
In the amazing house of butterbeeeeerrrr!
Going for a ride on the rollercoasterrrrr!
And falling asleep in a squashy chaaaiiiirrrr!
Oh, I love RAVEN-CLAAAAAWWWW!

*clears throat and looks around rather sheepishly* :o


I think the Diamondbacks are a baseball team. I don't like sports, though. (Except Quidditch, of course!)

[Fleurdelacour]

Diamondbacks... sounds like a type of shoe... ok must get over the shoe obsession... not helping as the last series of sex and the city is about to start over here.... :o

Well, Chelsea FC has bought Damian Duff, who plays for Ireland :D But got rid of Graham Le Saux, he's now at Southampton... *sigh* I liked him...

[Cedric]

Phoenix Suns... Went to see one of their games while I was visiting my grandparents down there... It was a total slaughter, the suns won by at least ten points.

It's okay FleurD, most girls are obsessed with shoes, so don't blame yourself ;)

-Cedric

Yeah, well, you also got Wayne Bridge from Southampton, who was one of my favourites, so stop complaining! Whaddya say we swap them back again, hmm? ;)

I'm not blaming it on myself, I'm blaming it on Sex and the City, the best television show in the universe ;)

My friend Sinead met Le Saux too, I forgot that... So yes, a deal it is, whaddya say? Ten quid?

[Cedric]

Yeah, but it's probably pre-wired into your mind anyway :)

And this is Courage:

http://news.awn.com/newspics/courage101502.gif

Good show.

-Cedric

[Xazinon]

Ten quid? Nah, just Wayne Bridge! thought you can give us Wayne Bridge AND ten quid for Graham Le Saux if you want.. I'll go buy some candy or something. ;)

Big Courage fan eh Cedric? It's an okay show, but a bit weird: I can't really get into it, I gotta say. I am a big fan of Cartoon Network though... I watch many of their fine programs. :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Sure buy Candy, there was a nasty little Malfoy type of a girl in my old class called Candy, buy her all you want! She thought I was some sort of weirdo... She was right a bit I guess, but there was no need to say it, rentlessly in all my beloved English lessons... :rolleyes:

Ooh Cartoon Network! That's where I reconise Courage from! We used to have that... Until the digital tv company we got it from went bust... We have Freeview now, and it's crap... My little brother still pines for it, he visits their website in hope that maybe onday, we'll have digital satellite installed...

It's done more then re-wired my mind!

Xaz, expect a visit from my Grandparents in the near future, they're being unleashed on Australia this autumn! And they dont know it! It's a suprise... For their 40th wedding anniversairy... big party this weekend and a day out in the London Eye... should be fun.. relations from as far as Scotland, Birmingam, and Ireland are coming, with their devilish kids which I have to babysit... Help...

[Cedric]

Lol Fleur... I'd help if I could :D

I'm a big cartoon fan period... It's what I watch probably 80% of the time I watch T.V.... It's pretty helpful to my own drawings, because I can see good ways of pulling things off on paper, like a way of drawing and arm at an angle or something.

I'd have to say that one of the best is Fairly odd Parents... Love that show :)

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

We get Fairly Odd Parents on the bbc! :D I like that show, the fifties style animation :)

They're here... Well two of them, the ones from Ireland. the Blonde Demons. The nine year old was standing in the doorway from my brother's room wearing an Irish footie teeshirt. It was dark upstairs because the bulb blew, but he looked evil... They're outside now, climbing the apple tree... It's only small... they'll break it!! They cackle relentlessly... :eek: Jesus....

edit:

Oh god... they're worse then I could ever imagine!!! they've taken the biscuits, and poured water over my copy of GoF... They're running in front of the telly, blocking it... I WANT TO WATCH TELLY! Oh god... imagine if it was next friday... then I'd be missing Sex and the City... They're evil.... EVIL!!!

[Cedric]

I'm sorry Fleur :( My brother spilled a little coke on my OotP... And I'm still mad about it... But that's MUCH worse.

Hang in there ;)

Oh, and take away their most prized possession. Anything to threaten them with...

-Cedric

Er, no, you can have that Candy: doesn't sound like much fun! Hehe, Malfoy type of girl: what an interesting new way to describe people! :)

Your grandparents eh? They going all round Australia or just to the main touristy places like Sydney, maybe Uluru, that kind of thing? I'll make sure I wave to them, okay? ;)

Yeah, I watch Cartoon Network all the time, though I've never heard of that Fairly Odd Parents show! I was watching Space Ghost Coast to Coast last night, that's gotta be one of my favourites, though I do like most of their stuff: you're never too old to be entertained! ;) :D

[Fleurdelacour]

I think they're asleep... Now... I put on Philosopher's stone for them... and I started to cry during the Mirror of Erised bit - I am hopeless... :rolleyes:

There's also, Umbridge kinda teacher! had a few of them whilst in secondary school... *shudder*

Spilt coke on your copy of OotP.... Oh, I'd kill him! That's unforgivable! I think my copy of GoF and PoA are the scruffiest books I own, even my copy of Ootp is looking a bit forlorn.. There's a scratch over the phoenix, and the cover is coming off a bit, that's because I threw it... After the death...

I have no idea what they'll do, probaly everything... They like culture (well... that depends... on some things...:rolleyes:) they should know that they're going to Australia as the suprise party is on now, whilst I'm stuck here... at home with nothing but depressing Harry Potter books and films, as well as a Thesaurus and laptop to keep me company... *sigh*

[Cedric]

It wasn't a huge spot, just a little drop, but I tried to rub it out which made the cover kinda flake off in a tiny section of it.... Didn't have the dust cover on, which made things worse...

I'm lucky in that I've never really had to take care of younger members of my extended family.

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

And you don't know how lucky you are! Looking after them is hell... Did get paid twenty quid though :D

They're all gone!! :D They only calmed down when we were several hundered feet in the air in a glass capsule...

Fleur :hug:s everyone in her strange good mood!

[Ravenclaw]

Yipee! Do I get a hug?

:hug: back anyway!

Hi. I decided to join this conversation. And yet I have nothing of value to add...

My uncle adopted the sweetest little baby boy! His name's Eddie and he's black and the cutest thing! When he was a few months old, he had an afro, but it got hard to maintain so they trimmed it. He's really well behaved, too. He started whining, but we just stuck a pacifier in his mouth and I sang him some songs (random slow songs, some even from musicals like Les Mis) and he fell asleep. He was well behaved at the table when we went to eat lunch (except for the fact that he dropped my aunt's sunglasses and kept drooling over the plastic menu.) He's six monthes old and he knows two words.

And I am just in love with him!

But I babysit too, but the kids are a little older. The boys are really terrors, though there are the occasional angelic demon girl child. These two kids I sit for regularly, one's in fifth grade, the other's in third. Kelsey, the eldest, keeps her little brother in line better than I do! Connor can be a real pain, but Kelsey can massage the kink outa my neck that he's left.

OK, now that I've added that little tidbit, I'm off and away to save the day!

[Xazinon]

Hiya Ravenclaw! Have a butterbeer! I must say, the place seems more like itself with its namesake hanging about! :beer: :)

Xaz glances at Ravenclaw's avatar and grins.

Aha, we have another Cartoon Network fan amongst us! Good ol' Grim, hehehe! Reminds me, I've be meaning to change MY avatar...

Eh, maybe later. :D

[Ravenclaw]

Change your avatar from Link? Oh, but I do like Link and the Legend of Zelda.

What do you think you'll change it to?

[Fleurdelacour]

Ravenclaw :D:hug: That baby sounds adorable! Babies are just the cutest! I can deal with them, although my baby brother is now two... :eek: Babies! *squeaks!* Aww! he just burst his balloon on the cactus!

There's me thinking her avatar was a cartoony Voldie! :o

[Ravenclaw]

I guess you could think that... lol. Haha, Grim as Voldie, I'd like to see that happen.

[Cedric]

Grim?!?! *Eeeeep!* I love that show... So glad they got their own show, evil was kinda stupid.

Children are only fun when they're not yours, it may be fun to play with them for a while (even though I don't like babies no matter what), but you wouldn't want to take care of one by yourself.

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Does anyone get Arthur? He's an aardvark... but doesnt look like one. Its meant to be for six year olds, but I watch it anyway... I do wonder why I keep getting sorted into Ravenclaw, but hey. I can watch little people's cartoons ;)

Sounds like you're talking about dolls Cedric! My sister used to have dolls, but she hated looking after her friend's dolls :p

Ok, this good mood is worrying me... Every single one of my friends is on holiday... and I'm in a good mood...

[Cedric]

And what's wrong with a good mood???

Yeah, we get Arthur, but it's on PBS, which isn't a channel I watch... Mostly educational shows.

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Many things Cedric, like the fact, I can now read PoA with out crying... That's weird enough! Or maybe I'm the weird one... That's possible... or maybe it's hormones... Not been this happy since I left school!!

Education shows are fun :) In a way... Documentaries rock! :D :p

[Ravenclaw]

PPS is an OK station, like if I'm channel surfing, I'll stop and catch the Magic School Bus. lol.

You cry in PoA? I scream! I get so frustrated at the end with Snape and... argh! But yes, I suppose I can see the sadness in it.

Hm... books 3, 4, and 5 are all kinda depressing at the end, and the depression increases in each book. Gosh, by book 7, Harry'll need a darn good psychiatrist!

By the way, anyone here watch the Disney Channel? Hehe, I like shows there too. Like Even Stevens or Kim Possible or Boy Meets World...

OK, I'm done being strange now.

[ChianaWeasley]

We used to receive the disney channel but we dont anymore, the only thing I really watched on an everyday basis was 'Even Stevens'. Who doesn't love Louis, or good ole' Beans?

"I smell bacon!!!"

Haven't seen that show in ages...well not unless I'm at someone else's house. :D

I used to watch Arthur every now and then but not anymore, that was right after the teletubbies and before the Price is Right. Good old animatronic Bob Barker;)

What do you think you'll change it to?

Well, I don't have to change it, I just figured a change is as good as a holiday! Plus, our other Tv is busted, and what with uni and all I don't have time to play Zelda at the moment which can be frustrating when I look at my avatar. ;)

I've got a coupla ideas, I was gonna go with the Cartoon Network theme everyone else seems to be going with, hehe! :)

Grim got his own show? Haven't seen that, we just havr the one with Grim AND Evil, the 15 minute shows. Sounds interesting! :)

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, theres a show with Grim and two little kids, but I forget what it's called. You probably already said it :D

Speaking of cartoons does it bother anyone else they're coming out with remakes of the old shows?

Has anyone seen what they've done to Master's of the Universe?! Thats not Heman thats prissy boy!!!!!

And look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...so sad

[Ravenclaw]

Mm, yes, I used to love the original Ninja Turtles.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. That's what the show is called. Here are some pics:

Grim.

Hehe, I love this show. Hey, anyone remember Johnny Quest? That kid was so cool.

[Cedric]

Yeah, that's in Rc.... And I think Evil has his own show too, but I've never seen it and I don't know what it's called.

I remember Jonny quest pretty well, I think reruns are still on. But I don't know when or what channel.

We should all do cartoon avatar. That'd be cool :) I'll look for something...

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

Hmm...which johnny Quest are you talking about? You mean the old 1960's show? Or the new 90's version? I was big into the old Johnny Quest when I was younger :D Thats a good idea Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Oh! The Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles! :D I looooved them! They rocked me socks :D!! And they've made a new version?! :jawdrop: I refuse to believe it until I see it!!

Johnny Quest... Doesn't ring a bell... Maybe we didn't get it in Britian, or maybe I didn't watch it.... I remember Johnny Bravo, that arrogant git with the blonde hair... But he's pretty recent.

Does anyone remember the Smurfs? They were fantastic! There was like, one girl smurf to go round! :LOL:

Remebered another one! Raggydolls, this was British so maybe you didn't get it... but it had the best theme tune! Raggy dolls, raggy dolls! Doll like you and me!

Mmm... I might change my avatar... I'm rather attached to it, lol...If I found a good Smurf one!

[Cedric]

Then use it, let cartoons rule!

I think we were talking about the new one Cw. I only remember one episode of that show very well... And it's true Fleur, I've heard of that new show, thought it was kinda stupid though, even though I've never seen it.

The Smurfs is still on here, not new ones or anything. I turned on the T.V. one day to some cartoons and it was on.... Maybe it was the movie...

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles?
Isn't it ninja turtles?
Well i heard in Europe they changed it, because it offended people or something along those lines.

I remember the smurfs!!!
I used to watch them all the time!
I dont think it is on air anymore here, but if it is I've missed it.

I LOVED Masters of The Universe, Ghostbusters, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock, the Muppet Show, Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Two Stupid Dogs, Dexter, My Little Ponies, and Care Bears!!!

There are loads more I just cant remember them at the moment. :p

I was into the old Johnny Quest as well!

[Gil-Estel]

I used to love the Muppet Show but it rarely airs anymore...an amazingly I remember Johnny Quest sis thought he was hot...

I am so glad she no longer reads this or I would be so dead!

New Faves woul have to be all the Toonami shows old and new...specially Kenshin

Oh well I think the smurfs still are on but I'm to lazy to get up that early

[ChianaWeasley]

Toonami!
Gundam!!!
What a great series of shows
:p

[Fleurdelacour]

*squeaks reinisantly!*

Oh! all these shoes! I feel like I'm going back about ten years! I loved Ghostbusters, that was the Harry Potter of my pre-school years! I had the tricycle, the action bloke toy things, the books, rah! I was obsessed! I can't believe I forgot about it!

The Muppet Show! Oh that was genius! It was always on at dinner time! My mum loves the Muppet Show, she loves Animal, but, I don't care, Fossie Bear was my baby!

My Little Pony! That was a short phase we me... I think... I don't really remember being obsessed with it, but my mum said I was... I remember getting the magazine once in Sainsburies, but thats it!

Care Bares!! I remember them... slightly... They're coming back too... When I was on the ferry coming back from Jersey they were selling cuddly toys... And in Topshop (my home ;) ) they were selling really kitch Care Bear tee-shirts in the same rack as the John Lennon ones, but they didn't have them in my size...*sigh*

Oh! Does anyone remember the Animals Of Farthing Wood? That changed my life! I never thought I'd cry my eyes out over hedgehogs getting killed!!

ok, still really happy, so hugs to everyone!! :D :hug:

[Cedric]

Rings a bell... Think you could find a picture of it? Maybe I'm just thinking of Fraggle Rock...

Can't decide on an avatar!

-Cedric

[Ravenclaw]

I could probably name all my favorite characters from those shows!

Eigon was the ghostbuster w/ glasses, yeah? I don't remember. Well I liked him. I'll look it up hold on...

I liked Jessie from Johnny Quest... and Johnny of course. Uh, actually, I've seen both the 60's and the recent nineties one of JQ cuz it used to be my fav show in Cartoon Network and they showed both. Like, one's the Original Adventures and the other's the New Adventures or something... The New Adventures has a cooler intro.

Ooh ooh! I liked baby Beaker from Muppet babies! I have a couple episodes of that on VHS. My brother taped cartoons in the US before we moved to another country so he'd have his fav shows to watch-- he's 20 now with no need for them. I try to make good use of them, laughing and reminiscing.

You know what else I liked? Transformers! They were cool!

I loved the Muppet Show. They were so funny, I saw a couple rerun episodes on BBC about two years ago, but it was on at 11:00AM so I only watched it in summer and that's the last time I've seen it.

Speaking of "Rerun" who here likes Charlie Brown? (I can explain if you don't see my conection).

Care Bears! Hahaha, I saw their movie! The first one they made. Oh, I loved that show. Loved My Little Ponies too. LOL, MLP was on Belgian TV, and it was all in Flemmish. It was funny to watch.

I think I'll get out my old tapes and see what other cartoons I miss...

*Cedric-- good idea about the avatar. I think we should have a cartoon themed month every year where everyone has a cartoon avatar, title, maybe even siggy and the like. Ooh, I'll do that now... Hey, let's make it August since it just started. Yes, yes, spread the word!

Hehehehehehehe!

Oh, and PS: I love Family Guy and Adult Swim. Haha, Home Movies... Birdman, Attorny at law... I find these shows hilarious. Oh, and Futurama of course!

[Fleurdelacour]

The siggy is going to far ;) *strokes siggy* I had to make an avatar instead!

Oh! Does anyone remember Super Ted? :D oh, he was amazing!

[Cedric]

Super Ted?? Ced nods and slowly backs away....

I loved Beast wars, that's really the only Transformers I've ever gotten into. The new one is kinda stupid, with the minicons and everything.

That's a great idea Rc, I'll should start a thread about that.

I just love all those Adult Swim shows... Home movies, birdman, aqua teen, SeaLab. Comedy central has a good late night line-up on Sunday too. Dilbert, The Critic, and Undergrads. Good stuff.

[/B]

Yeah, I remember it.. I loved that show, even though I was far too old for it, LOL. Moley was my favourite, remember the little mole who used to sit on Badger's head all the time? He was adorable! :)

Hehehe, SuperTed! I suppose he was kinda awesome. ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Thank god! Someone else remembers! I remember once an owl... Who reminds me of Professor McGonagall... Got covered in cement or something. That show was depressing... They kept killing the hedgehogs!! Didn't badger die too? And the Weasles! They hated each other at first then they loved each other...

Speaking of death in cartoons... Does anyone remember a show about ducks... There was a whole family of ducks, and they all got run over. And the father wanted to seek revenge on who killed his family... I only saw one episode because I was sick and it was on during school... but it was depressing... I covered my lunchbox in pictures of the ducks! :o But I can't remember what the show was called... so if anyone knows! tell me...

Ahh, Super Ted, I loved him when I was about... Five I think, he was more of a book thing though. He was a flying teddy!! A Super Teddy! ;)


Just found some Animals of Farthing Wood ones...

http://www.ltpage.com/wood/pictures/series2/24.jpg

This was entited... The Unexplained Death of Dreamer!!!

http://www.ltpage.com/wood/pictures/series2/27.jpg

Scarface kills Hare... Oh the show the aftermath too!!

http://www.ltpage.com/wood/pictures/series2/28.jpg

This was a kids show! and all I can remember is all these animals being killed!!

edit:

found one of Moley for you Xaz ;)

http://www.moleplace.com/images/Farthing.jpg

[ChianaWeasley]

Does anyone here still watch Captian Planet?
breaks into the theme song

Ah, the fraggles, I just got a fraggle rock shirt the other week,so sweet....:p

Super ted....no i dont remember that one

[Xazinon]

Awwwwwwwwwwww, Moley! Thanks FleurD! :hug: :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Ah, you're welcome Xaz :) :hug:

Captain Planet... Rings a bell! I rememember Banana Man, sme kid called Eric ate a banana and turned into a muscle man...

It is sooooo hot right now... In Paris and Rome it's meant to be like 40c! And it's no cooler here!! On Wednesday it's going to be so hot, the weather peeps thinks it'll break records! 37c!! :jawdrop:

Help... We're not used to the sun... No fan or air conditioning....

[Cedric]

I use to watch Capitan Planet all the time. I think it always annoyed me to some point though...

I know how you feel Fleur, it's been around those temps here the last week or so. But today and yesterday it's been cooling down a lot. There are still cities around me that have been having 40c-ish temperatures for about a week straight.

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

That sounds absolutely terrible Fleur!!!

I had band camp today, can't really complain after your miserable description ;)

I don't remember banana man though....it does bring a faint picture to the back of my head....And your right Cedric, it always bruned me so that captain planet was soooo perfect! I watched it hoping the bad guys would win for once! LOL, you cant blame me, you ALL root for the villian once in awhile :devil:

Speaking of villians, tomorrow at band camp is super hero day...but I want to be an evil villian :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Fleur crawls in to Ravenclaw House...

Its too hot... Hottest day of the year today... so hot... Not getting any sleep at night because my crackpot of a bedroom is in the attic so all the bloody heat rises etc.... AAARRRGGHHH!!!! And when I got to sleep at about 7am, I had a dream about thenight James and Lily died! I am retarded!

band camp? what is band camp exactly...? And you should be an evil villian, just despite them ;)

[Cedric]

How hot was in today Fleur? Here, it's really cloudy and chilly. Hasn't been like this is months. We actually got rain. Crappy thing about it is that there's been T storms all day, which started about 4 hours before I got up. The things were so loud I was feeling things around me shake.

But it has been nice getting a good nights sleep, and not having to pull off my covers because it's so hot.

It's not exactly that I was rooting for the bad side, it's just that a lot of things didn't make sense. I donno, maybe I'm just not remembering it right :)

Band camp? It's like camp, but your in a band, right Chiana?

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

It was 34c today.... And tomorrow is set to be the hottest day in the UK since records began in the eighteenth centrury! :eek: I envy you Ced! I'd die for rain! ok, maybe not that much.. I think the Canadians, Portugeese and the Spanish need the rain more then us...

Mars is bright tonight! Really it is! Because the sky is so clear at night I can actually see stars and there was this one really bright star, I thought was Sirius's star, the brightst star in the sky, but it wasn't... It was mars! :rolleyes:

[PhineasNigellus]

band camp? what is band camp exactly...?
Haven't you ever watched American Pie??....does that kind of stuff happen at your band camp Chiana?

[ChianaWeasley]

No sadly it does not ;) in band camp we play and march and theres no time for that, too hot anyway.

I wasn't anything :( I have sun burn on my back so costumes were limited. And it rained all day anyhow:D And i couldn't think of anyone to be. But AVAS fictional character day is on the way!

[Fleurdelacour]

Never got round to watching American Pie.... And I'm dying to see that classic scene... Everyone is always talking about it!!

you march?! wee sounds interesting!

tip for sunburn - aloe vera!! :notworthy it works wonders!

You would not believe it... but the hottest place in britian yesterday (its 3.35am... I cant sleep so sue me :p) was... where I was on holiday the other week...*grumbles* how typical is that?!

[Ravenclaw]

It's hot here.

It's Egypt.

But I have air conditioning.

So I'm alright.

:nose:

And the Australians! Don't forget about us! :wave: ;)

[Amberion]

you softies in the northern parts are so soft;)

2 summers ago we had 35 days over 35 degrees

and the day my dad was buried it was 47 degrees in the shade:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Fleurdelacour]

47 degrees?! Oh my goodness! :eek:

Maybe you lot needed it in January, but you're in winter ;)

Today... Was the hottest day ever in London... Not the national record, but it is bloody hot... No air at all.... and all the fans have sold out... I'm Irish... We're used to rain and wind! Never stop complaining do I :p

[Cedric]

47?!?! Good lord... (for us Americans, that's 116) That is soooooo hot, I'd probably melt from the inside out.

Yeah, we use to have an aloe plant. Was great to just grab a spine of it and brake it in half, then smear it all over your burn... Really works too :)

-Cedric

[Gil-Estel]

I looked up Findlay's record(sue me I was bored and am really worried about my Grandma!)I believe our record last summer was 115 and all time is if I remember right(I can't take out reference books) is somewhere in the 120's not sure
and of course they don't put this stuff on their website grrr

[ChianaWeasley]

Oh thats just horrible! And I thought band camp could be bad. The hottest day I recall was about...110 degrees. But this year we've had alot of luck. It's been cloudy and rain alot, but with the temperature there, I wish I could send all the rain your way.

LOL, ah the joys of sunburn, I got it very badly on my back, but just the part I couldn't reach so its the blob of burn. Aloe vera is my only friend ;)

[PhineasNigellus]

and all the fans have sold out

*Phineas turns up the heat on the fan on his desk and looks smug:D *

Its not fair London was not designed to be so hot!

[Fleurdelacour]

I konw Phineas... It's not fair... It cooled down a bit today... A bit... :rolleyes: I live just outside the congestion zone so the traffic worse, making the air thicker and smoggier... blahh....

110? that's, a lot for then 37! (all i know is 37c is 100f!) bloody hell! That makes London look cold!

I hope it cools down a bit next week... but not to much... My friends all come back at the weekend! And and! Pirates of the Caribeen comes out tomorrow!! :D

[Gil-Estel]

hehe seen it funny Jack bends over

ooooh butt shot

[ChianaWeasley]

You'll absolutely LOVE PoTC I promise you!
Wonderful sword play,
great story line,
interesting characters,
Orlando and Johnny :swoon:

Elizabeth, the female character, isn't the usual damsel in distress which I'de like to see more often. Honestly, you females out there, doesn't that get alittle old. I know I wouldn't be screeching "Oh,somebody please save me!!!"

Nope I'd give my captor a run for their money

:cool:

[Fleurdelacour]

ooh you're getting me excited! :D Orlando... Johnny... Everytime I see the trailer on the telly, I think of Sirius when I see Johnny... He looks like how I imagine him... kinda, with out the kohl around the eyes ;)

Oh Keria Knightly plays her doesn't she? She was great in Bend it like Beckham :D Worryingly skinny though...

[Cedric]

And all those gold teeth, Fleur :D

It's kinda funny that Pirates is just coming out over there, and it's been out here for a while, and there's someone in the movie who's in a movie that's been out over there for a while, but is just now coming out over here. Did any of that make sense?

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Yeah that made sense! I think it's bloody annoying that some films take months to come out over here... Like Down With Love for instance! It doesnt come out here for months.... :rolleyes:

Oh god... read this!! a review to a fic i cant post up here... a musical with the marauders... Lmao! I've never read a funnier HP parody than this before!! I cracked up
everytime they came to thier senses and realized what's going on.rnrnToo bad
Remmie's gay in this fic! *pouts* ^^ rnBut it would be so funny, if Lily next catches this 'disease'. Like she could be really angry at James, AGAIN, and then all of a sudden she starts signing to him. Or maybe Snape! That would be halarious!! But its only the marauders that sing, right?Anywayz, can u write
songs that are popular...? All this Queen and uh...what do u call it? I think Abba, well I had no idea how the tunes went except for 'If ur not the one'. Can
u write parody's of Britteny Spears or Avril Lavigne?

I am NOT going to start my Marauders singing Britney and Avril!! ugh! Sorry, just needed to rant! Yeah, good review, but no! Queen is popular! and it wasn't Abba! It was Cyndi Lauper! Everyone knows Queen songs surely?!

[Cedric]

Yeah, it would be quicker for me to sneak into a theater, steal a reel, mail it to a British cinema, and let them show it. There is no point in making either of us wait. I could have downloaded "28 days later" off the internet before it came out in theaters here.... Craaazy.

Don't worry about it, that was either some stupid kid or some lonely old person who does nothing but read fan fics.

I know some Queen songs, the popular ones.

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Exactly Ced! My aunt downloaded PotC the other day actually.... now that you mention it... I mean, the companies complain about loosing money in films due to piracy! Then why not bring ALL the films out at the same time! They managed with LotR and Harry Potter!

I do nothing but read fan fics ;) Meh, I've an excuse, I have no friends in the country right now.... :rolleyes:

Ah, do you know Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy!? That's the best... :notworthy

[Xazinon]

Originally posted by Fleurdelacour

For some reason, I don't really know that one: I need to brush up on my Queen! My fave song of theirs is probably Crazy Little Thing Called Love: very cool. :)

[Fleurdelacour]

Ah Crazy Little Thing Called Love :D I have a dvd of that preformance, Freddy Murchury, clad in leather, kinda gyrating on a motorbike! :D

[Xazinon]

Hehe, yup, that's the one.. they sung it in 'We Will Rock You', the Queen musical.. I went to see it last weekend! :D

I didn't think their version of Crazy Little Thing Called Love was fantastic, but the musical itself was pretty excellent. They changed some things for the Australian audience which no doubt probably helped a little too. :)

[Fleurdelacour]

You saw 'We Will Rock You' *jealous face* I'm desperate to see that, properly!

Last year at a concert, the cast of 'We Will Rock You' did the finale, and Brian May was doing the guitar bits, and he walked past me twice! My mother refused to believe it, even though I had the picture! She's a massive Queen fan, never got to see them live though... One of her biggest regrets...

I don't know whether you heard, but some bloke called John Farnham is meant to be replacing Freddie Mercury in a re-release of a Queen single - I think... It's nearly 4am... cant really remember... I heard he's pretty, well crap... No one can replace Freddie...

[Xazinon]

Well, Ben Elton walked past us on the way out, thanking people for going: that was pretty neat .:)

LOL, John Farnham? I hadn't heard THAT about him! He's a very famous guy over here.. he's just been touring, his last official tour. I wouldn't go calling him 'crap' too loudly over here.. maybe his version of a Queen song aint too flash, but he's had some pretty big hits over here.

Like 'Sadie, the cleaning lady...' sing it with me Amb! :LOL: :D

[Amberion]

Amb refuses to sing Sadie - just as an aside John refuses to sing it as well

Fleur - Brian May himself approached John Farnham to sing with Queen. He has one of the best voices to sing rock and roll anywhere in the world

So dont believe anything some jealous british music critic says

[PhineasNigellus]

We Will Rock You was great - in fact it kinda rocked!! I really enjoyed infact it was probably the best thing i have seen for ages. (not least because there was a crazy old woman in front of me who was getting a bit too into it!). I don't know if this is true but i read somewhere that Ben Elton will be writting a sequel!!! (also featuring Queen songs)

[Fleurdelacour]

I don't think anyone can replace Freddie. Whether they were approaced by Brian May or not... It would be a bit weird... It'd be like the Beatles suddenly reforming even with George Harrision and John Lennon dead...

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, when we won first place last year at a band competition we took out our boombox from the bus, and blasted 'We Are The Champions' and sang along to it. And of course on the way back home we'd sing acapello to Bohemian :)

[PhineasNigellus]

congrats on becoming a prefect by the way


:trout: Chiana (just reminding you, even prefects are falible!)

[ChianaWeasley]

Of course they are falible
just look at Ron, he's a prefect and look how
he acts. As normal as usual :)

And what would being infalible be anyhow?
Rather boring I think
:devil:

[PhineasNigellus]

If i was a prefect i think i would be a mini tyrant and make most of the school live in fear of me. MUHAHAHA :devil

[Fleurdelacour]

You sound like Malfoy Phineas ;)

I always managed to never become a prefect in either Primary or Secondary school...

Ron was a prefect!! :D

[PhineasNigellus]

Like Malfoy! *shudders* no i would make them live in fear in a nice way!

Ron should never have been a prefect! - he is too much of a sidekick!
:notworthy :cool:

[Fleurdelacour]

Chiana!! :jawdrop: Ron - Is - Not - A - Sidekick!

lol in a nice way?

Just read... It's currently 37.4c in London... beating the record for the hottest temprature in Britian... ever.... :eek: No wonder I cant walk outside in my bare feet... It's ROASTING! *dies*

[PhineasNigellus]

London is kinda like a furnace now - i REALLY HATE SUMMER, brig on winter!!!

.3 degrees and it will be 100 farenheit!!

lol in a nice way?
If harry is Batman then Ron is the efeminate one in red.

[Fleurdelacour]

I thought it was already 100f...


A temperature of 37.9C was recorded at Heathrow around 1.30pm, the London Weather Centre said.

It is also the first time the 100F mark was surpassed in Britain.



From Ananova. 37.9?! Aghghgh!!

Harry is not Batman... Ron is not a sidekick! I need Chiana to back me up! I could give you a run down of points, but its to hot and my books are upstairs...

[Xazinon]

Hehe, awww, not a Sadie fan Amb? :LOL: He doesn't always refuse to sing it.. he did it at the Last Time concert that was on TV, and he actually made a point of saying that he doesn't hate the song, clearing up a popular misconception. :)

Hmm, no Sadie.. how about You're The Voice then? Eh? ;) :D

Amb starts singing a rousing rendition of Evie doing his best Stevie Wright impersonation

[ChianaWeasley]

No!!!! Do not compare Ron Weasley to Robin, Batman's annoying sidekick!!! And I never said he was a side kick :p Ron is not sidekick material. But I do think he'll be a rather sharp prefect, he's very loose, and he'll be fair :D And besides Ron never runs up and exclaims "Great Grindlow Harry!", I never could stand Robin. Liked the tight nylon outfit though :devil: :angel:

[PhineasNigellus]

no you are right - Ron is not like Robin, i am very sorry i said that :notworthy
If anything he is more of a louis lane - always needing rescuing!

[Fleurdelacour]

:jawdrop: No! When does he need rescuing? Only time I can remember was when he was tied to Remus and then Remus turned into a werewolf! Or when he was under water for the second task, and that doesn't count! and the OotP bit doesn't count either has he couldn't help that... But I don't want to talk about that place... :p :(

Ron never runs up and exclaims "Great Grindlow Harry!",

lol! that's something that-person-who-is-to-unworthy-to-type-their-name, would say. Hero worshipped Black and Potter ;)

Phineas, are you getting your GCSE results next Thursday? I can't remember whether you said you did them or not....

[PhineasNigellus]

Phineas, are you getting your GCSE results next Thursday? I can't remember whether you said you did them or not....
Yeah ...am getting kinda nevous now...*fingers crossed*:eek:

[Fleurdelacour]

Good luck! My friend is bringing a bottle of champagne into school to either drown her sorrows in, or to celebrate! :LOL:

If I don't get a B in English, (and five A-Cs) I will die...

[PhineasNigellus]

well, Good luck!!

I like part 2 the best myself.. just so nice to listen to!

Xaz hums along to Amb's rousing rendition contentedly.

"Whoa-oa-oaao Evie..."

:)

[Fleurdelacour]

I have no idea what you two Aussies are talking about... :p *shakes head*

This time next week.... this time next week... GCSE results... Qualifications.... I will fail... I will fail...My friend Ciara says she'll escort me home to stop me throwning myself in the Thames... Don't want next week... Been dreading it since I was four and started school....

Fleur did an A-Level! She did an A-Level in Philosophy and got a A! :D


I have a feeling I'll never see PotC... It takes me two hours to get to the cinema due to unrealiable buses and traffic... And half way there I get a text message from one of my friends saying they cant come... Then seconds later I get another text message from my other friend saying she cant come either... So they stood me up... Nikki has been avoiding me ever since the beginning of July... Earlier in the week she said it was to hot to go to the park! SHE HAD JUST SPENT TWO WEEKS IN CYPRUS! BRITIAN IS FREEZING COMPARED TO CYPRUS! ugh! Sorry! I have never been so effing pissed off in my entire life! They both know it takes me ages, and then only tell me they cant go when I'm practically there!! Jesus!!! I KNOW EXACTLY HOW HARRY FEELS NOW! COOPED UP IN THIS HOUSE ALL BLOODY SUMMER!!!!!

I'll pig out now....

[PhineasNigellus]

I just want to be told my result now so that it is over and done with!!:eek:

[Cedric]

Ya know, I was worrying all year about my Bio grade... It was almost always just below an A.

Then, on the last day of school, after our final, our teacher let us look at our grades, and I just had an A, by like .1%.... It was crazy.

Don't worry so much guys ;)

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

you want them now?! mad! never want them... not now... not ever... When we walk into our old schools on Thursday, our lives will be changed forever. Whether it's for better or for worse, it's all going to change...

Unless we win the lottery on either Saturday or Wednesday ;)

Must get B or above in English... Must get B or above in English.... Oh god.... Must get B or above in art.... Ugh... stomach feels all odd...

What courses are you going to do in college Phineas?

Ooh, that's a close shave Ced! :D See, that's another thing... Say I missed out on a pass by one percent... ok... must eat more chocolate and listen to The Thrills, The Coral, and All American Rejects - they make Carrie happy....

[ChianaWeasley]

I hate feeling nervous about big test scores, especially finals, ugh they can be rigging to the nerves:o But hopefully all will be well for everyone :)

School starts in about two weeks here, I'm really looking forward to being back, oddly enough:p But you'll never guess what one of the things I look forwqard to the most.... :D

[Fleurdelacour]

They're bigger then tests... they're well, OWLs really... Reading that chapter was hell! Harry's History of Magic exam went exactly the same as my History exam :o but with out the whole fainting thing...

No idea what you're looking forward to! Convincing everyone at school that Ron and Hermione are secretly snogging in the Quidditch Shed? :p

[ChianaWeasley]

Well that of course, but besides that, the 50 cent sticky buns avialable for breakfast on Mon, Wen, & Fri
:p
yummy!

[Fleurdelacour]

Sticky buns.... Mmmm.... Why don't you get them on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Don't they like being baked ob days that begin with Ts? :p I wonder what college food will be like... Better be better then the flies on pizza we used to get... Blarfgh! :barf: *shudder*

[PhineasNigellus]

if anything the food will be worse!! i have never had good school food!
What courses are you going to do in college Phineas? I think i must be mad - i want to physics, maths, History and Enlish! (i can't believe i want to do physics! only borring people do physics...

[Fleurdelacour]

Physics is interesting... Siriusly! I love Science, wasn't very good at it, but it was interesting! Maths? That's mad... That's even wrong....

I'm doing... Media Studies, English, Fine Art, and Textiles... Soft subjects :p

[PhineasNigellus]

i am almost did media studies but chose physics instead *i am sooo going to regret that! *

[Fleurdelacour]

Well, at least you can console yourself with the fact the Govenment are going to love you! :p

[Cedric]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of going to college at 16. That's craaaaaazy.

Oh, and what's the difference between media studies and fine art? And what do you do in textiles? Different kinds of faberic perhaps?

-Cedric

[PhineasNigellus]

Well, at least you can console yourself with the fact the Govenment are going to love you! Just what i always wanted! - i reckon all the marks are fixed anyway though!

[Fleurdelacour]

Well Fine Art is well, art, just with a better name :p And full of artsy boys (NO MORE GIRLS CONVENT!!). And Media Studies just looks liek pure fun, a boy in my class looks like the lead singer of the all american rejects... :swoon: anyway... in media studies, you study aspects of the media, design websites, make music videos, anyalyse films and fun things like that :D and essays, and an exam in January, but I can deal with that.

Textiles....No idea what we do there, we didn't do a introductory course for that subject when we had the welcome day in July. But it's got something to do with fabric and stuff :p I'm taking because I want to be a designer in something...

Yup, it's fixed. Agree with you there! If I don't pass English and Art, it's a fix!....

[ChianaWeasley]

I never did understand how someone could fail an art class...either someone does no work, or the teacher is out to get them. I had a spanish teacher my freshman year of highschool who was out to get me, but Avas!!!:D I passed anyway, muhaha

Textiles always seemed like an iteresting class to take. I've taken fine art already, it was an alright class. But I'm sure college fine Art courses are much more interesting then highschool Fine Art courses.

I just recieved my course listing for my junior year, very blah because I doubled up on subjects, but that leaves more interesting classes to choose from senior year:cool:

Honors British Literature
Honors Global History II
Honors Chemistry
Honors Geo-Trig
CP Geometry
CP Physics Wave
Band
Life Mgt Skills (blarg!)

and my best subject: Lunch :p

[Fleurdelacour]

Life Mgt Skills? Life Midget Skills? :p

Maybe in British Lit, you might study Harry Potter. I'm hoping for that in college (if I get my B...) I'd pass with flying colours! :D Well, it was on our reading list...

[Cedric]

Crist... I couldn't ever handle that many honors classes, I prefer just getting over 100% in some of my normal classes. Gives you a much better feeling :D

I'm not so sure about that art thing Chiana, I mean some teachers (like the one I had this last semester) will let you pass as long as you do everything. It really amazed me how many people failed that class. But their are some that grade you on how good you are, which, in moderation in a good thing.

Harry potter? I think they'd probably teach more along the lines of Daniel Defoe, Jane Austen. But you can always hope :D

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

My sister did Harry Potter, but she's thirteen ;)

Ah! Jane Austen! She's on my reading list! I didn't read her... I didn't read anyone apart from Harry Potter and some other ones... You just reminded me! Oh never went to the art galleries either... ok, thats what I'll do next week to keep my mind off Doomsday... thank you for reminding me!

What are honors etc?

[PhineasNigellus]

if u did Hp in class you would end up really hating it - english teachers have this habit of twisting books you like so badly that you really hate them! (if that makes sense..):confused:

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, i like to challenge myself, and at my school if you take lower level classes the people in it just dont care. But not everyone. I find honors classes are better because most of the class is willing to learn. And I had to read Jane Erye for brit lit, and that was a sinche. Because I've read it since seventh grade,score!

And I had to read a book by a british author, Harry Potter OoTP, done and done :D. And if they say no to that book then...hopefully Jenifer Roberson is british :D

Keeping your mind of doomsday? You mean going back to school..lol...thats one way of putting it ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Doomsday - Thursday 21st August Midday.... GCSE Results.... THIS WEEK!!!! :jawdrop:

But, there is something good, on the 2nd September I'm finally seeing Phamtom of the Opera!! :D

I don't think a teacher would twist it... I don't know if they could twist it... I'm not religeious... Not unless the teacher kept on mentioning Sirius's death, or if the teacher was a Harry/Hermione shipper :p

[PhineasNigellus]

I can just imagine my old english teacher over analysing the scene where Harry first meets Snape to such an extent that really it was obvious (due to the use of syntax, of course) that Snape really does love Harry.

[ChianaWeasley]

My english teacher this year was very interesting, and odd and cool at the same time. Now I catch myself over anaylzing. Darn you Mr. Reinking:p And now me and Avada go back into the books and read over them to reanaylze them all, discuss what we may have missed or overlooked.

[Fleurdelacour]

My old English teacher was Italian, she was a LotR fantatic, posters of Aragorn all over the classroom :swoon: She wasn't the best of teachers, so we never did over analyze... The higher classes got that with Mrs Muller... :rolleyes:

My old maths teacher was Professor Umbridge - I swear. She was also headmistress.. She looked like a toad, came into the school and changed everything! She was a little horror... But I think I've ranted about her before.

It's Monday....

[PhineasNigellus]

only tuesday...then wednesday...then Thursday! !!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :eek: :eek:

[Cedric]

Fleur, honors classes are just like regular classes, only harder and more advanced.

The thing that bothers me is that just because I'm smart, and I do well in school, my teachers suddenly think that I want to be given harder material. What's wrong with just blazing through something that I find easy?!? Doesn't make sense to me... See, I don't consider myself as "the smart type", but I guess other people do, which is weird.

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

:jawdrop: Me and my friends are going to Nandos, and are going to get drunk! It's legal to order wine with meals, so i know what I'm going to do! :p

I'm the opposite... Considered stupid by teachers (told countless times... :rolleyes:) I want harder work in Art and English, don't get harder work... Surely you should get what you want?

[Fleurdelacour]

Failed. I failed... I can't believe I failed...

two bs in English, B in art, the rest ds. Not nearly enough to get into college.

my life will now consist of drifing from painful supermarket job to cleaner for the rest of my years. oh such joy.

I'm leaving ravenclaw. who was I kidding myself? clever and witty my arse...

[Cedric]

Don't be so down Fleur! I'm sure there's some college you can get into, and if not, just come to the states, there's plenty of colleges here that don't require the best of grades throughout your whole life.

Gives Fleur a long hug

Gotta look on the bright side of things ;)

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Cheers... Feeling a bit better... Just been to dinner with friends, avec wine :p

My parents said to go to Ireland... To Trinity College in Dublin :eek: Like hell...

Fleur rang me, very hyper! She got As A*s and a B!

Everyone is saying to re-take them...

But on another site, everyone somehow got straight A*s - lying !!!!s? I think so.

:hugs:

[ChianaWeasley]

Oh Fleur!!!!

Chiana runs up to fleur and knocks her over with a big :hug:

Dont worry, D's aren't that bad. I fail most of my finals, but it always turns out ok in the end. Cedric is right, look on the bright side of things. AND you got b's in english, I didn't even pull that off this year. So my hats off to you! :)

And dont leave Ravenclaw, what would we ever do without you?!?!

:hug:

[Fleurdelacour]

:hug: I needed six a - c grades to go to college... not unless I repete two years, which I'm not doing... I worked my bloody arse off these past two years, no in fact why whole damned life, for what?! nothing...

Here follows my qualifications.

Art - B
English Lit - B
English Language - B
French - D (I was predicted C, I find french bloody easy...)
Maths - D (somehow... I got a D... I expected a U!)
Double Science - DD (third best subject... got As in my modules. something fishy... How the hell can I get a D in Maths and get a D in science...)
History - D (i expected that though :p It's just horrid... oh god...)
Religious Education - D (I'm suprised at that, as I never listened in class or did my coursework...)

Everyone I know, from Fleur to my best mates got practially straight As... OH GREAT! NOW MY LAPTOP IS PLAYING UP!! CHARGE YOU STUPID THING!!!

ok... breath... get chocolate and more wine...

You'd be me-less ;) Think I joined Hufflepuff... not brave... not cunning unless it involves tormenting my sister... not brainy... hufflepuff only one left...

I wonder what Phineas got... I hope he did better then me...

[Xazinon]

Aww! :hug:

Try not to worry about it, FleurD, though I know that's probably a very hard thing to do! I always try to hold on to the fact that grades aren't the end of the world, and that there is more to life than school and marks and essays and assignments and so on.

You just need to pick yourself up, get back on that little bicycle and pedal pedal pedal! School is like the training wheels: it helps, but you're still the one in charge of the bike and where you want it to go!
Gosh, I sound so deep and insightful: amazing! :D




P.S If I ever get a real detective agency, complete with wind-up turtle, I assure you you will be welcome to work there if you wanted to! ;)

[Amberion]

Amb gives FleurD a great big :hug:

[ChianaWeasley]

Good ole' Xaz always there to tease and comfort us
:hug: Fleur
You know what we all need?
A large bar of honeyduke's BEST chocolate

Religious Education.....well....that would be the bible (pronounced bib-ill) Yes well I'd fail that one too, all I know is there was a garden and a pig in it that gives you bacon whenever you want it! ;)

Cheer up mate

[Fleurdelacour]

Aww thank you, you lot :) :hug: Well... I don't live near a Honeydukes, but I did buy a lot of chocolate! Then I woke up, went wandering off to covent garden, saw two scottish men in kilts, and bought The Thrills - So Much For The City (highy recomened!! :notworthy)

Yeah... you're right Xaz, exams aren't the end of the world, Richard Branson doens't have any GCSES, and he's bloody rich! :p Maybe this is fate... I'm meant to win the Turner Prize for art or something... or become a billionaire writer! haha!

Thanks again :) :hug:

[ChianaWeasley]

Just remember, look where J.K.Rowling started out and look where she is now :)

[Fleurdelacour]

Yeah... you're right... :) I think JKR got some inspiration from the 176 bus route... went shopping and came home on that route.... Where St Mungos shoulb be (oxford street) Charing Cross Road (Leaky Cauldron) and Elephant and Castle (regurgitating toilet...) all very weird :p But i had fun!

To JKR :notworthy

Glad I could help you out a little FleurD: you're too much fun to be going around being miserable! ;)

Another thing is, university isn't always the best thing for people right after high school: I've already changed universities myself and I still don't have any real idea what I want to do or anything. :)
I don't know how it works over in the UK, but here you can still get into some of the university courses providing you go to a TAFE (no, I can't remember what it stands for) first. I was doing accounting, and if you went and did two years at TAFE and got a diploma you were exempt from the first year of the university course. It might be more work, but it would also be cheaper initially, and you could possibly get a better idea as to whether that was really the course for you. I don't know if that's true, it's just a suggestion I thought I might offer. :)

I think I've been helpful enough to earn a chocolate bar.. whaddya say people? :D

Xaz looks around the Ravenclaw common room hopefully.

;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Oh alright Fleur passes Xaz a large bar of chocolate ;)

Ah thanks for the advice :) :hug: I had an induction day at the college, and like you, they said not to go staight to Uni, but to take a Foundation course in Art beforehand ...

I got into college :D The teachers in English and Art said my Bs were good enough, and they were willing to teach me, but I had to drop Media Studies and I'm re-taking GCSE Science... It took most people half an hour to enroll, it took me three hours! bah so compliacated :p

Butterbeer and chocolate all round! :D

[Cedric]

That's great Fleur :)

The registration for the upcoming semester took me all of about five minutes, they are SOOOOOOO unorganized! I'm not even gonna know where my classes are (or even if they gave me the right classes) until the first day. To add to that, they're giving us an entire new time schedule, and it even looked to me like they took off the signs that tell you which rooms are where.

I just wanna know what these people are smoking and get it away from them as soon as possible.

-Cedric

Hey wow, you got in! Congratulations! :hug: :D

So what's your major or whatever then? Art? Good luck with it, whatever it is!


Xaz munches on his chocolate bar happily and grins.

And thanks for the chocolate! ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Five minutes? Blimey!

I just discovered something worrying... My new headteacher lives eight doors down, and I went to school with her rather !!!!!y daughter six years ago... Also been to her house... :eek:

Yeah, Art, and English :) Really looking forward to it!

[ChianaWeasley]

You got in!!!!

prances around in circles with Fleur

Thats absolutely fabulous my deary!!!

And that's is what the wonders of honeydukes does for a girl ;)

:beer:

[Ravenclaw_girl]

a girl comes into the common room

Hi, everybody! an orange tabby cat walks up to Ravenclaw_girl. Oh, and this is my cat, Simba. He's very well-behaved.

[Fleurdelacour]

Everyone stops celebrating and turns to greet the new girl

Hi :) Welcome to our house. (I'm rejoining btw, my sister started school today, and was told the English grades were better then grammar schools so :p to grammar schools ;) )

Like a biscuit? :)

[Ravenclaw]

Hullo everyone... haven't posted here in a while.

Hello Ravenclaw_girl. Enjoy yourself here, there's plenty of fun to be had.

Raven sneaks in through the portraithole and retreats to a corner where she magicks up a piano. She enchants the piano to play a tune while holding sheet music and nervously biting her lip.

"On my own, there's no one here besiiiiiide me! No, no, that's not it..."

Ravenclaw, who has previously had the whole score to the musical Les Miserables memorized backwards, forewards and upside down, and could sing the whole upside down is now so anxious, she seems to have forgotten the friggen words.

"Oh woe is me! Auditions are on Sunday and I've forgotten the song!"

Oh, and by the by, CONGRATS FLEUR! :clap: They're lucky to have you.

NOTE: I haven't really forgotten the solo of my favorite character in Les Mis, but my hands are sweaty, and shaking so much it's so hard not to make any typos. Gosh, it's only, what, Wednessday? LOL!

[Fleurdelacour]

Ooh Les Mis :) Be proud of me! I saw my first West End Musical last night! Phantom of The Opera! :D Wow, it was amazing! We got there early, so me and my mum wandered around Lescister Square and there was a premiere! :D For Calender Girls which Julie Walters starred in! I've had a very glitzy night last night! :D

:notworthy Andrew Lloyd Webber!

Imagine if they made Moulin Rouge a West End Musical... Wow...

Aw, thank you :)

Is anyone having difficulty signing into MSN and acsessing their Hotmail? :confused: I cant seem to sign on or read my email...

[Ravenclaw_girl]

Fleur, I already had almost too much food in the Great Hall. And, everybody, what kind of pets do you have, if you have any?

[ChianaWeasley]

chiana picks up a tart from a tray on the table, and inspects it

hotmail? Nah, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't..it's just overly tempermental...

[Xazinon]

Ooh, a piano! And Les Miserables! I'd like to help you practice, Ravenclaw, but I haven't seen it performed: the only bit I know is the bit from the time we had to sing it at a high school presentation night, heh! Though, apparently, it was the best presentation night song ever! I know that one which goes...

Xaz clears his throat importantly.

"Do you hear the people SING, singing the song of angry men,
It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again!"

...

And so forth.. I can help you with that bit if you like! :D

Best of luck with the auditions, Ravenclaw! :) Maybe to relax you need to calm down and play something else, to take your mind off it! Ooh, like the Entertainer, gotta love that tune! I used tp play piano, and that's about the only thing I can really half remember how to play. And the Sting, what a cool movie! :D

Er, sorry, how long ago did I digress? ;)

[Ravenclaw]

No problems, Xaz, I digress all the time.

Ah, Do You Hear the People Sing! Great song! Beautiful beat. DA da DA da DA da DA! Quite powerful...

Aw, I'm alright. I gave singing lessons to some anxious Freshmen today who were worse than I was. There's a particular part I want, and there are 50 people trying out so... Yeah, it's a big deal for our school, you know? Cuz it's a huge play...

um, yah.

[Fleurdelacour]

It's alright now... hotmail and msn are working again... damn thing... :trout:

I never had you down as a pianist Xaz!

Good luck Ravenclaw, I'm sure they'll accept you the very second they see you!

No, can't say I have any pets, Ravenclaw_girl, but there is a caterpiller trapped in a glass in the bathroom... :p

[ChianaWeasley]

You play the piano?!
ooo....:D

My friends going to teach my the guitar, I'm very excited
but what I really want to learn is the mandolin :cool:

[Xazinon]

Naw, ex-pianist.... I used to have lessons in high school, but I dropped off. More a guitar playing guy now, heh, though I have the right finger for piano, longish ones. :)

Mandolin: ooh, that's neat Chiana!

Good luck Ravenclaw, yay! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Er... What's a mandolin? :o

Ooh a guitar guy! :D Better then those MC type of peoples... I have one in my form class in college, he just suddenly started to MC when introducing himself... :rolleyes:

My friend is learning to play the guitar, and my other friend's brother plays it professionally :cool:

[ChianaWeasley]

a mandolin is a round guitar...alot like the lute. Plays beautifully for folkish music, and its also used for bluegrass. Depends on the type really, but they're really exspensive!

We debated earlier which was more attractive, a pianist or a guitarist. I say a pianist :D

[Xazinon]

Hey, if I can play both piano AND guitar, does that then make me doubly attractive? ;) :D

Xaz makes a note to start practicing piano again.

I suppose I'm a guitar guy, though I'm not particularly any good: I used to have lessons for a couple of years, but now I just tend to potter round on it for my own amusement more than anything. I can play a couple of thing reasonably well: the good thing about guitar is it seems to be much easier to get music for it off the 'Net than it is to get piano sheet music. :)

I really enjoy the guitar, but I would find it really cool to be good enough at piano to play in one of those saloons in Western movies: hehehe, that'd be sooooo neat! :) :D

[ChianaWeasley]

My friend is very gifted with the piano, he was the saloonist paino player for the school play. He had the arm garter and ht and everything!

[Fleurdelacour]

lol! I guess it would make you doubly attrative in a stage way... You can do the whole sterotypical classical, gentlemanish pianst thing whilst rocking out a bit with the guitar! :p

Ah... So THATS a mandolin!

[ChianaWeasley]

man on a piano......:o

[Gil-Estel]

Well before this becomes Abyssal...who has seen the new HP trailer?

[Terry]

I have! I saw it online awhile back but then saw it in the theatre with Master and Commander. It looks pretty exciting. I loved the Snape/boggart scene, but what's with the giant, singing frogs?

[SiriuslyInLove]

SQUEE!
i didnt know there was one of these already!

ME LOVE RAVENCLAW! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

I felt like ressurecting something from the void.

Here's ye olde ravenclaw house!

[Terry]

Wow, Fleur! Yes this was in a void. Seen the movie yet (silly question, probably...)? I've been twice, once with a group and once with myself. It's an excellent ride!!!

My only complaints.... not enough Filch, not enough Crookshanks, and, naturally, not enough Snape!!

The kids were great, though, and all the new people were fantastic. Curon did a wonderful job. There's so much to watch in every frame!

Happy viewing!;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Yeah, well I'm bored... I'm on study leave until the 21st and my exams ended on Monday :p

Yeah, I've seen it twice too, but I think you should put any movieness into spoiler tags for those who haven't seen the film yet, just in case :)

[MyD8rk3stF3ar5]

Hey everyone! Mariel here. What's the topic of heated discussion?

[Xazinon]

Originally posted by MyD8rk3stF3ar5

Um ,whether its economically feasible for Hogwarts to install a thorough ducted heating system? I personally don't think it's necessary, but with all that snow about, I suppose you never know! ;)

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, Xaz, think about this; a heating system, when warmth could just be magicked into the castle walls. It would be quite simple. And it would save loads of Galleons and maintenance...and isn't indoor heating a muggle luxury? :p

[Fleurdelacour]

Well with magic, I guess maintenance would be free :p

Well they use fires at Hogwarty-worts... Viktor Krum complained he didnt have anyway...

Fleur snuggles into an armchair and falls asleep by the fire

[~BH]

Prods Fleur with the fire poker

Hee.

[Xazinon]

Yes, I suppose it is a muggle luxury, but some of those muggles have it pretty good I reckon, not every idea they have can be a bad one, can it? :) You girls are right though, I suppose magic always DOES hold the answers!

Raises an interesting question, this does: at what point in the history of invention do you think muggles and wizards diverged? I mean, yknow, who's taking credit for the wheel, and fire, and furniture and stuff? I'm guessing the wizards probably would, but surely the muggles must have come up with SOMETHING good!

Mmmm, a fire.. it's all wintery over here, not summery like it is for you northern hemisphere folk!

Xaz drops into a comfy armchair near the fire, keeping a sharp eye out for BH and the fire poker she's wielding.

Ahhh, that's better... someone wake me up if my shoes are on fire, would you? ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Our weather has returned to wintry... Was fabulously hot, I even manged sunburn on my back... It's miserable drizzle and quite windy now...

Yes I suppose it would be interesting...

Muggle Cave Guy #1: Look! I big brain! *points to fire*

Muggle Cave Woman #1: Blah! Mammoth Dung! Bloke there did fire with STICK! *points to the other bloke.

Wizard Cave Guy (Other bloke): I am genius! *Points his magical stick at Cave Guy #1, making him explode.

Muggle Cave Woman #1: Lets make small cave-people! *runs off with wizard cave guy*

Fleur throws pieces of coal at BH. "Wake me up and dieeee!"

[ChianaWeasley]

Kind of like the chicken and the egg question. Who actually created fire first; the wizard or the drooling Neaderthal? Of course we all know the answer to that question....;)

Its alot like China, who has invented everything before everyone else. Except the hot air balloon, which the U.S. invented first. I should be proud of that...:p

[~BH]

Thwacks the coal away with the fire poker so that it hits Chiana and Xaz

Even more interesting, how did wands come about? Did a cave wizard just see a twig one day a think 'well, you know what I think would be a really nice idea, really fun, if I just picked up that stick over there and waved it around while saying strange sounding words, yes, what a lark that will be. Woo hoo'.

[Xazinon]

Xaz yelps and wakes up with a start, rubbing his head, before picking pieces of coal out of his hair.

"Ow, who threw that? Why I oughtta...oughtta...well, I oughtta do something, but it's just so nice and warm and cozy here that I don't think I can be bothered. Just.. don't do it again, y'hear?"

Xaz snuggles back down into the chair, casting wary gazes from side to side.

****

Ooh, good question, I wonder who DID come up with the idea for wands? My money's on Gilderoy Lockhart, he'd surely at least take credit for it! ;)

The US invented the hot air balloon? Wow, good for you guys, I didn't know that! made me wonder exactly what Australia had invented, I knew a couple of them, but a couple I certainly didn't! If you want to see, go to http://www.palindrome.com.au/firsts.html and scroll down to the inventions category... one of us bright Aussies invented the notepad, that's pretty impressive! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

I always thought the French invented the air balloon... I think one of my Paris posters clouded my knowledge...

http://images.art.com/images/products/regular/10061000/10061175.jpg

Eiffle Tower + air balloon = Fleur thinking air balloons come from France...

We used to have an air balloon on the South Bank... It was tied down so it wouldnt float away... Only thing is... It DID float away one day and ened up miles away in Peckham! The air balloon has since been replaced by the London Eye... A lot safer :p

Ah where would be without the notebook? Our hand would be blue and black from the amount of inky notes...

Laytex gloves! Oh they're awful! They remind me of the dentists... *shudder* I don't want a man's laytex fingers in my mouth thank you very much...

Oh lets see... What did the Irish invent!

Irish Inventions! (http://www.oxygen.ie/features/feat_inventions.php3)

We're responsibe for the ATOMIC BOMB?! :eek: Well... We invented colour photography! :p

Fleur throws Non-Bouncable Coal Pieces at BH and places a Do Not Disturb sign by her chair

[~BH]

BH gives up and slumps into another fireside armchair

Didn't Leonardo da Vinchi invent hot air balloons? Or am I completely making that up?

[ChianaWeasley]

Leonardo Divinci?

shakes head vehemently

no, no, no! I learned in S.S. class that the US invented the hot air balloon, that cannot be wrong!!!No!!!

Chiana repeats this to herself over and over again

I am now confused & disillusioned...:confused:
:LOL:

But we did invent McDonalds!!!!

[Fleurdelacour]

That's worse then the atomic bomb! :p

Ah Leonardo DaVinci... The Mona Lisa is being ruined in Musee de Louvre... :mad: People keep on taking photos of it! There's a queue to see the famous painting (that's oh so small, but yet so capitvating) and there was this American couple, who actually looked and acted like the typical tourist, and they were talking about how they couldn't wait to TAKE A PHOTO of it! Ugh! The nerve of them! I felt like turning around and swering to them in French... But I didn't... They had some big arse camera too! And there were signs everywhere in all languages from Afrikaans to Zulu! PICTURES! And if you don't understand pictures then why are you in the world's biggest and most famous art gallery?!

So yes... The Mona Lisa is slowly fading away...

Leonardo DaVinci did blueprints for allsorts of inventions.... The submarine, helicopter, crane, clock, parachutes, a robot activated by water or weights, water pumps... He obviously had a lot of time on his hands :p

[ChianaWeasley]

But...but did you see any blueprints for hot air balloons?
:p

[Xazinon]

Well now, this is interesting... according to this (http://www.thewayitworks.co.uk/invention32-Inventor.html) link, the hot air balloon wasn't invented by the Americans OR by Leonardo Da Vinci but instead was invented by a couple of French people! Of course internet sources are always of somewhat dubious credibility, but I think that it's an interesting consideration nonetheless! There go the French again trying to take credit for everything, eh? ;)

Xaz throws a marshmallow at BH and gives her a wink.

Ah, you gave up too easy, dear! I think you just need to try throwing something more edible and you might have a bit more success! :D

[ChianaWeasley]

Chiana takes the parchment from Xaz, reading it thoroughly
:o
:p

Oh well, can win em' all can I?
;)

Chiana ducks as random goodies begin to fly through the air

[Fleurdelacour]

Wow so I was right about the French then... That never happens... I'm always wrong! :p

It's raining...

Fleur grabs a blanket and wraps herself in it falling asleep in her armchair. Don't dare throw marshmellows at me!

[~BH]

Prefer the flying coal to marshmallows eh Fleur?

Da Vinci did invent a flying machine, it just wasn't a balloon (http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/awakening101/leonardo.html). I knew it was something.

Throws coal at Fleur and fudge at Xaz.

[ChianaWeasley]

Da Vinci drew up blueprints for the first helicopter actually, not the balloon.
http://www.hahn-airport.de/english/seiten/lexikon/seiten/vinci/images/helikopter.jpg
Good ole DiVinci, not only was he ahead of his time, but he was also a drag queen! ;) You go girl!

Chiana pulls out her hardbound copy of 'The DiVinci Code' and snuggles down into her chair, while nibbling on a chocolate frog

[Amberion]

For those of an enquiring mind - The Montgolfier brothers (french) invented the first ballon to get off the ground

So the french can correctly take credit for this

Actually Chiana there have been many inventions by americans - none more important than the electric light globe

Headmaster Amby then finishes his lecture on history and exits stage left

[Fleurdelacour]

Ha I was right! :p Thank you Headmaster Amby! :D

He was a drag queen?! Wow :D

[warning sentimental cheese fest regarding ravenclaw house gaackk]

My goodness... I just read through the entire thead... Which has resulted in a bad tension headache... I relieved quite depressing memories back in this thread! I'm feeling really sentimental now :o Today was just a weird day at college... We started our A-LEVELS! So it reminded me of when I failed my exams... The worst day of my life... But, (still in cheesey sentimental mood) I really don't think I'd be doing my A-Levels now if it wasn't for you lot... :) :hug:

[ending sentimental cheese fest I vow never to go all cheesy again...!]

Fleur grabs pieces of soggy clay and throws it at BH whilst ducking under her red ladybird patterned umbrella

[Xazinon]

Hehe, thanks Amb, I guess that internet source I used can be accredited as correct after all! :)

Hey, the light bulb, that's pretty good! However would cartoon characters have come up with ANY ideas if it wasn't for the invention of the light bulb and its ability to hover over their heads at moments of inspiration? Would have been very difficult, I'd wager! ;)

Wow, that Da Vinci bloke did pretty well for himself in between fighting evil, eating pizza and living in a sewer, didn't he? Don't know WHERE he found the time for cross-dressing, but good on him for giving it a go! :D

Awww, a bit sentimental FleurD? Nothing wrong with that, not at all! It's nice to see this place came in handy for you, I knew it must be good for something, heh. Hey, nice umbrella by the way, very stylish! ;)

Xaz munches on a piece of well placed fudge after giving the thumbs up to BH, carefully trying to avoid the clay at least until he remembers where he put that pottery wheel.

[~BH]

Ah... all those great Old Masters of the sewers, Donatello, Michelangelo... it ain't easy being green.

Have you read the Da Vinci Code Chiana? I finished it a few days ago and got really involved with the storyline. Makes you wonder how much truth is in the basic idea.

My great, great, great, great (insert a whole bunch of greats here) grand uncle invented immunisation (specifially immunisation against smallpox, it was the first type ever). So you can thank him for all those injections you had to go through at school.

[Fleurdelacour]

Ha! Someone to blame at long last :p Y'know... I never got the BCG because I've these three injection marks on my upper left arm... I rolled up my school shirt and the nurse said I didn't need it! But no one has three... :confused:

Ah the Old Masters :notworthy much better then that Tracey Emin... :rolleyes: Yes, a messy bed is such art... Anyone could claim their messy bed was art then! All of us could be artists! Just wake up, move your bed into a gallery and call it art! Of course you'd have to make it really disgusting by having used and soiled underwear and used sanitary towels just for that contraversal element...

Blah... I'm not the sentimental type... I think romance, cheesyness and sentimentalness should be reserved to films... I'm quite cruel when it comes to romance... :o

Ah I love my umbrolly :D It's fun to poke people with :devil:

Fleur pokes everyone with her umbrolly

[~BH]

Pokes Fleur with the fire poker in retaliation

Three? Maybe aliens were abducting you at night to use in their twisted experiments, and that's where those marks appeared from.

Hums the Twilight Zone theme tune

Better a dirty bed than that guy who cuts up dead people, covers them in plastic and declares it to be a beautiful expression of humanity.

[ChianaWeasley]

Alien abductions?!
What is this nonsense you'r filling her head with BH?!
It wasn't aliens at all.

It was the underwear gnomes, looking to snitch some knickers for Profit.
:D

Aliens, now really!
:p

[Fleurdelacour]

Fleur stumbles into the Ravenclaw common room, her hair shoes and clothes wet from the evil wind and rain... Fleur sprinkles the rain water off the umbrolly onto BH and runs behind the armchair

Stupid umbrolly hit me today... But it's so cute... Ickle ladybirds...

Underwear gnomes?! Alien abduction?! I am not a walking experiment! :p Yes... The alledged injection marks may be in a slight geometric mattern (one on top, and two below in a triangle shape) but... but -

Yes anway... back to being an art critic! :D

Yes... Yes... That German "artist"... That was vile oh it was awful... I don't really want to see plasticised foetuses or horses... (Actually, I don't think I ever want to see a horse again after watching Animal Passions on Channel 4 the other day... :barf: ) People volunteer to be plasticised!

All that man was trying to do was get his 15 mins of fame using revolting exhibits of plasticised preserved bodies! He's just glamourising death...

What's happened to REAL art?! There only seems to be one REAL modern artist these days and that's the great Lucien Freud :notworthy

[Xazinon]

Ooh, the Da Vinci Code, I hear that's a good read! I was going to but it but my mum wanted it for her birthday, so I bought it for her and politeness dictates I have to let her read it before i can. ;) A friend of mine told me thta there was an internet trail you could follow that was based around the book that's supposed to be pretty fun, have you given that a go BH? :)

Wow, this thread is really getting deep, we're on to art now! If only I could remember where that great art quiz was that I've done, it would go great with this line of questioning.. I'll try and dig it up and post it on here for you guys to have a go at! I'm not too fond of the more modernist/postmodernist stuff, I like the landscape paintings and so on: I'm starting to like art a bit more than I used to I think. I saw the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring and I thought that was pretty good, I really should get around to reading the book that it's based on!

*sigh* Too much to read, far too much.. it's a tough life. ;)

Xaz puts on his miner's hat and goes off to try and dig up the art quiz for the enjoyment of all.

[~BH]

An internet trail? Sounds good. I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start though.

I love landscapes. I think they're probably my favourite type of painting. I quite like expressionist paintings with lots of colour as well.

Damn. We sound really mature.

[ChianaWeasley]

ooo....we're delving into art now?

excellent...Chiana rubs her hands together like Mr. Burns

We'll real art, all depends on a person's definition of what art is.

For example art, in my opinion, is NOT art when;
a). people use bodily fluids as paint
b). they beat up a car with a baseball bat
c). Salvador Dali avoids trouting
d). a canvas painted ONE color
e). child pornopraghy
f). unfinished sketches that resemble nothing

Art is;

a). Neo-classicism period art
b). DaVinci
c). people who draw awesome scenes on the sidewalk, in chalk for spare change

[Fleurdelacour]

Well, we're meant to get deep - we're Ravenclaws arent we? :p

I love Surrealism - so :trout: for Chiana :D Painting your dreams... Why not?! Some of Dali's paintings are so clever.

But I do agree with you on everything else...

HOW is a canvas painted blue art?! My baby (no... he's three now) brother could do that! I was in the Tate Modern recently wandering around and there was a canvas painted sky blue...! It just made no sense to me! When I was in the Pompadou Centre in Paris hoping to see some decent modern art... Nope - nothing... And we walked to that gallery from the Louvre! It was all pile of rubbish, literally!

It's not just child pornography that really gets me... Its this one piece in the Tate Modern - a video... It involved a boxing glove and er... male self-pleasure... A girl in my art class started to complain to one of the attendants! She was mouthing off about how it wasn't art and just weird kinky porn for sad deprived weirdos with no social lives! It was very funny :p But it wasn't art...

Bodily fluids as paint?! I dont think I've ever seen that... :barf: Or at least I hope I haven't!

Personally... I'm not at all fond of Cubism and Constructivism... It's all so technical and mathmatic! I had to do a box on Constuctivism for part of my AS-Level fine art course last year... I threw in a bit of Surrealism to make it less technical... It was a dolls house based on the play A Dolls House. And I made a balsa wood mini sculpture breaking through the floors of the doll house, as if he was breaking free, standing tall and proud. And then in a seperate room to the house I had a clay figure like Rodin's Thinking Man (but mine was a woman) that was trapped in a dark confined space, like the charachter Nora in A Dolls House... My teacher said it was "Interesting..." Not what I had hoped... :o

I love the Pre-Raphelites! I just adore them :D It's creepy, its not what you'd expect of Victorians, its a decent picture! I love Willam Holman-Hunt and Augustus (great surname!) Egg. There were all these tiny little details in a series of Egg's paintings... It was just amazing :)

I am so lucky I live where I do when it comes to art and culture. London is the capital of art. There are so many galleries and musuems... Wish we had the Louvre, but we can't have it all!
;)

Woah... That was a long post! :o

[ChianaWeasley]

I have to agree with Pre-Raphealite art, it's all so...well perfect really. And to think, they broke off from the art that was ebing taught at the time, and created their own style. Which was pretty much perfection. Must have sucked for art professors they broke from, huh? :p

And yes, sadly, in America, not only do we have "artists" that reguritate all over canvas. But we have people who actually buy it!

:confused:
twisted I know...

MoMA in new York City had some great peices when we went there, including a large collection of Lichtenstein. Who at the time was sitting in the basement during construction of the fifth floor. Which was very depressing for me, because I was pumped up and ready to see some 'Pow!' & 'Drowning Woman'. But I did see two of his less known peices, so I can't fully complain. And the 'Water Lilies' by Monet that spanned two walls was simply....amazing there really aren't even words for something like that...

But if you're ever in New York, go to the Modern Art Museums if you have the chance. Just, don't eat at their resturant. Very snotty crowd. :rolleyes:

[~BH]

Do I detect an art student around here?

[Fleurdelacour]

Art student! Where?! :p It's not me... *looks around the room shiftily* I don't like art at all... I don't want to study the history of it at all... I think it's stupid! Not me... Not me at all...

Fleur edges out of the room slowly...

[ChianaWeasley]

Not quite yet...give me a year and I will be one! :D

My schedule for my senior year is absolutely delicious...AP Art, Photo I & II, Painting I, and I did have Drawing II but they took it away. Bloody fools! But I'm very excited, I'll be spending most of my time in the art wing! Wonderful isn't it?

I want to study Medieval History and Art History, perhaps combine the two and become an archeologist. :D

Wait!
I mean.....
ugh who would want to be an art student?
:p

Aha, well, the internet trail starts here if you want to have a go: http://www.randomhouse.com/doubleday/davinci/

Then you just go into the website and click on the link, trail away to your heart's content, dear! ;)

I'm with you on the art thus far BH, all that surreal stuff can be a bit too much for me at this stage. I have a friend who is an art student, so maybe she can teach me to interpret and appreciate it a bit more, who knows? :)

By the way, I found that art quiz, but the page's bandwidth is exceeded at the moment so I'm not going to bother to post it.. maybe another day, heh!

[Fleurdelacour]

:cheers: I want to do Art History (or History of Art, wording depends on what University) :) Prince William does History of Art at St. Andrew's Univeristy in Scotland... I guess it must be pretty good - royal approval! It'd be kinda cool having the same qualifications as a future King!

I spent most of my time in the art section too... I only emerge to laze around in the cafeteria or the English classrooms!

Yes Xaz, make your friend make you appreciate surrealism more! Or I'll just shove it down everyone's throats!


http://www.usc.edu/schools/annenberg/asc/projects/comm544/library/images/742bg.jpg

Metamorphosis of Narcissus! :notworthy Its really weird... But soo clever!

We were doing Monet in Fine Art today... Have decided I cannot draw leaves in contrasting light...

[ChianaWeasley]

:eek: :o :(
MY dream school is St. Andrews!!!!
I've been dying to go there for nearly two years now, I even have an application and a requested prospectus. Their curriculum is amazing!

AND they have a superb Medieval Study course, when part of the semester you get to go onto the field!

To me, surrealism is alright, but I just can't stomach Dali anymore.

[Fleurdelacour]

Wow that's great Chiana! :D I cant figure out how to even get a prospectus on their site... It's such a confusing website! I need a minimum of three Bs in my A-Levels to get into St. Andrews... It's about the same for Warwick (three months in Venice!), York and Bristol Universities. You can study for a year abroad in Bristol, but that course you need BBA...

You need three As to get into Cambridge... Who gets that sort of grades? And you'll have needed As at GCSEs...
I think they'd laugh if they saw my grades!

My art teacher was quite sad to hear I wasn't going to go to art school... She said I had the potential to get into Chelsea, St Martins and Royal College of Art... :eek: I am not changing my career... Noo... There's no career in going to art school! You do a foundation course... Get a degree in fine art, then have no career to go into! At least with a History of Art degree I could try and work in a gallery, musuem, or auction house... Or become the female David Dickenson! :p

What do you hope to be Chiana?

[ChianaWeasley]

This may sound odd, but I'm not sure yet...

art is a tricky business to make any money on, but the Art history arena is more successful...

I'd like to pursue:
- Children's Illustration
- Medieval Archeologist (medieval art)

or who knows, maybe I'll just end up a starving artist who does Characatures on a boardwalk for 5$ each!
:D

European entry level requirments are so confusing to me!!!

:confused:

[~BH]

Hey Chiana, it would be great if you came over here to do your university studies. If you get into one of the older universities you'd definitely get to appreciate a lot of English Middle Era architecture, they're amazing to look at.

I'm doing Medieval England as part of my history A-Level. Black Death, stroppy kings, lots of little wars, mysterious murders, the Feudal system, bickering Lords...

What a charming history we have.

[ChianaWeasley]

Haha!

Our history is quite...intricate I guess you could say.

All starting with two boats coming over the "big blue wet thing";)
then they get off the boats when they hit shore,
call themselves pilgrims and wear funny hats and shoes,

and from then on it got alittle crazy,

Needless to say, one person said, "Oy! A dead fish! I shall grow corn with it!I am ingenius!" after watching an Native American do it of course. And from then on there were lots and lots....and lots of. corn.:rolleyes:

But my favorite bit of history is Stonewall Jackson, so famous for missing half his left ear, and leaving his legacy in a beer so strong it only takes one swig to knock you over!!!Yay Stonewall!!!
:D
