Chat transcript!

[rowana.livejournal.com]

The Chat Transcript! Very shiny, but just a little...odd, in places. Leslie, Jade, Emerald, Ceecee, Bob, Philia, Checkers and myself all showed up. It goes up until Emerald left. Read the whole thing in colour by logging onto The Conspiracy Room (password linked to from the profile page), and viewing the backlog.

aged_crone: I never remember whether the chat starts at 9 or at 10, my time. Must be 10, since it's now 9:38.
jade_sabre from x.x.x.148 joined the chat 92 minutes ago
jade_sabre is here early!
jade_sabre starts getting the snack food ready. She includes fruit and veggies.
jade_sabre turns on happy music.
aged_crone: Hi, Jade!
jade_sabre: hey!
jade_sabre: (backlogging)
aged_crone: Just checking the Readaloud to see if my other chapters have been posted yet.
jade_sabre: verdict?
jade_sabre: (I'm glad Peggy's mom and Checkers are doing better!)
aged_crone: Still loading - slow connection, and four windows open.
jade_sabre: ah
aged_crone: Nope, just Chapter 6, not the other two yet.
aged_crone: Blue and gold - aren't those your school colors?
jade_sabre: yep! ^_^
jade_sabre: LOL! This backlog is HILARIOUS!
jade_sabre: *admiringly* Checkers, you're a repbroate.
aged_crone: I hadn't been reading Chatzy for several days, so I skimmed through at top speed to catch up, and I know I missed some good stuff.
jade_sabre: the last two pages are pretty good, with Checkers and Peggy and Willow and Avian and Bob.
jade_sabre: I've missed some stuff too. Been busy.
aged_crone: That sounds like a tv show: "Checkers and Peggy and Willow and Avian and Bob."
jade_sabre can usually keep a straight face on stage. Except when Will Roper is ridiculous. Which is bad, because he's ridiculous all the time, and she's supposed to be glaring at him.
jade_sabre: heeheehee!
aged_crone: Wonder if Bob has finished KoA yet.
jade_sabre: my friend was telling me about a friend she had named Ted, and how they used to call him Awkward Ted
aged_crone: Step heavily on one foot with the other. You'll lose your wish to laugh!
jade_sabre: and then they decided he should have a TV show called "Awkward Ted Goes Streaking"
aged_crone: Ooooookay.....
jade_sabre: but it would of course have nothing to do with the title. It would be a talk show or something
jade_sabre: hm, I'll keep the stepping on the feet in mind. :-b
aged_crone: Awkward is a strange word - wkw...
jade_sabre: but people would watch the show because of the title
jade_sabre: it really is.
aged_crone: They should turn The Conspiracy Room into a tv show. We'd be very entertaining.
jade_sabre: I often think things like that.
jade_sabre: :-b
aged_crone: Someone could fly us all to one central location and we could talk instead of typing.
aged_crone: And then we could share books with one another. I feel so guilty, with all these Georgette Heyer books and I can't loan them out to y'all.
jade_sabre: that would be CHAOS
jade_sabre: but wonderful!
aged_crone: KAOS, channel 42...
aged_crone: :)
jade_sabre: LOL
jade_sabre: ("Avian: someone wanted to sing it in the talent show but couldn't because it has drinking, suicide and abortion :(" Okay, I totally did not get the last two out of the song. WTC?)
emerald from x.x.x.103 joined the chat 76 minutes ago
aged_crone: I don't know what song that is, so I'd be no help.
aged_crone: Hello, Emerald.
emerald: yeah, a sitcom
jade_sabre: hey emerald!
jade_sabre: GAH LAG
emerald: Re: TV show. hi!
jade_sabre: "checkers: CHATZY IS A DISNEY-FREE ZONE"
aged_crone: Hmmm - did Chatzy formerly have a little thing in the lower left corner telling you it was checking for messages and updating the window, or did that come with the new colors?
jade_sabre DISAGREES.
aged_crone: Indeed. I feel a brief Disney spell coming on...
jade_sabre: no, that's new
jade_sabre: I don't, but you never know...
emerald: we'll hold a vote about Disney a little later
aged_crone: I know you, I walked with you once upon a dreaaaaaam...
jade_sabre LOVE.
jade_sabre: HEHEEHEE
aged_crone: I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam...
jade_sabre: "Peggy notes we may have to wait until Jade has left for Spring Break though" hey, I'll still be here over spring break. I'm just going home.
aged_crone: Whoa - my clothes are changing from blue to pink and back again!
aged_crone must remember to stay away from the spinning wheel downstairs.
emerald: its like Sleeping Beauty. blue pink blue pink
aged_crone isn't kidding, I really do have a spinning wheel downstairs.
emerald: haha, Disney. what am i thinkin?!
aged_crone: Where else am I going to have handsome princes falling at my feet in homage?
emerald: how is everyone?
aged_crone: Pretty well. I'm finishing watching the second set of Beverly Hillbillies DVD's.
aged_crone: And chugging along on my beaded purse.
Rowana from x.x.x.15 joined the chat 72 minutes ago
aged_crone: Hi, Rowana.
emerald: wow, thats good multitasking
jade_sabre: hello!
jade_sabre: doing well
jade_sabre: finishing up the backlog
Rowana: Hey
aged_crone: Well, the purse is just sitting there now, I worked on it earlier. Can't sew and type at the same time.
jade_sabre: (Reading levels are the most ridiculous system of classification known to mankind. And I'm including the inanity that is the Library of Congress system, too.)
aged_crone: I have been fighting the Reading Counts/labeling by reading level battle for several years.
aged_crone: And yesterday I had the regional language arts coordinator in trying to convince me how wonderful Lexiles are. I was glad I had such a sterling example of why they *aren't* wonderful handy.
jade_sabre: Ask the teacher if she thinks an eleven-year-old would be able to read and comprehend Anna Karenina.
jade_sabre: 'cause that's what my reading level tried to tell me. My mother disagreed. It was the only book in the library on my "reading level."
emerald: they aren't used over here!
aged_crone: The only argument she really had was that RC made it easier for teachers to keep track of how many books the children had read, without having them do dioramas or whatever. I pointed out that the students could just write down the names of the books they had read.
jade_sabre: yahsrsly
jade_sabre: (sorry for the chatspeak! *39 lashes with a wet noodle*)
aged_crone: Oh, the LA coordinator said, "Of course you must also look at other things about the books." No kidding!
jade_sabre: but the kids don't know that!
aged_crone: So why bother labeling them in the first place, when Lexiles are so clearly inaccurate.
emerald: Re: (ages ago) ENOG. Peggy, that sounds like a E numbers or Eggnog. Neither are particularly good for you
emerald: yeah, labelling wastes time and money that could be spent on more books!
emerald: thus benefiting the kids more
jade_sabre: (heehee, my roommate's got this CD by this guy who takes rap/hip hop songs and puts them to a kind of jazzy-Sinatra-y piano accompaniment and sings them. Like "Baby Got Back." heeheehee)
aged_crone: I do have to admit that I have TT, QoA, and KoA all in the library, though really the last two are too old for even my fifth graders.
jade_sabre: yeah
jade_sabre: (Avian--the mask is beautiful!!)
aged_crone: But on the other hand I've seen some of the books the fifth graders are reading - paperbacks their parents must have bought them - and KoA and QoA are less inappropriate.
emerald: like....?
aged_crone: I clicked on the mask link, and when I went to that window it had just loaded to the eyes, and they scared the daylights out of me.
aged_crone: Like Stephen King.
emerald: ah, i see
aged_crone: Like trashy YA books.
Bob from x.x.x.14 joined the chat 65 minutes ago
jade_sabre: hey!
aged_crone: Hi, Bob.
Bob from x.x.x.14 joined the chat 65 minutes ago
Bob: hello.
aged_crone: ...we're the Monkees...
jade_sabre: Stephen King = no thank you.
aged_crone: I haven't read any - no interest in doing so.
emerald: me too, Jade
Rowana: hello Bob
emerald: Hello Bob!
Rowana: Did Stephen King write the Shawshank Redemption?
jade_sabre: hey Ro. Have I already said hi to you?
jade_sabre: ...no...?
aged_crone: Ro - dunno. I don't pay much attention.
Rowana: Yes. I wandered off. :)
emerald: Ro, try google
Rowana: I looks like he did. *mutters 'Ireallylikedthatmovie'*
jade_sabre: well, I just don't like horror.
jade_sabre: and I hear that movie's very good.
Rowana: No, I don't think I've read anything by him either.
aged_crone: Has anybody seen "Amazing Grace" yet?
jade_sabre: but generally his stuff looks too creepy for me. I have enough stress in RL--don't need to find it in books.
aged_crone: I'm going to close my window and then sign in again - the backlog is starting to choke my computer.
jade_sabre: no, it looks good
jade_sabre: *though it looks
Rowana: I haven't heard of it Leslie - what's it about?
jade_sabre: I think the story of What's-His-Face who wrote the song.
jade_sabre: WHY DOES MY ROOMMATE HAVE "FERGILICIOUS" ON HER COMPUTER? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??
jade_sabre cries.
aged_crone from x.x.x.158 joined the chat 57 minutes ago
jade_sabre: I really want to see this Robin Hood show you Brits have got going on.
aged_crone: It's about William Wilberforce and the fight to outlaw slavery in the UK.
aged_crone: What is "Fergilicious"?
jade_sabre: ooh
Rowana offers Jade sympathy
emerald: its not that good really
aged_crone: And also about the writing of "Amazing Grace." Apparently they were connected, but I don't know how.
Rowana: Huh, sounds interesting
jade_sabre: a horrible song by the incredibly, impossibly conceited, slutty Fergie of "Black Eyed Peas" fame.
jade_sabre: the trailer for the movie was very impressive.
aged_crone: Or non-fame. Nevvererdover.
Rowana: I was just watching the trailer - that's Benedict Cumberbath. I always thought he'd make a good Sophos. :)
aged_crone: Or of "Black Eyed Peas," either, except in the sense of the legume.
Rowana: Um, not the main character.
aged_crone: No, the main character is the guy who played Hornblower.
aged_crone: And is quite pretty, though I don't remember his name.
Rowana: :)
aged_crone: Something Welsh, I think.
jade_sabre: to imdb!
aged_crone: Ioan Gr-something.
emerald: hah, he's too old to be Sophos but i know what you mean, Ro
aged_crone: "Benedict Cumberbath" sounds like a character out of Shakespeare.
jade_sabre: oh, I like that Benedict guy. (And he's playing William Carey in The Other Boleyn Girl! Squee!)
jade_sabre: LOL, Leslie.
aged_crone: Can't you see him hanging around with Falstaff?
Rowana: :) He was in 'To the Ends of the Earth' that was on TV a while ago, and some other adaptation before that
jade_sabre: Ioan -- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0344435/
jade_sabre: very much so
Rowana: (And wow, I didn't even know there was a movie of The Other Boleyn Girl out.)
jade_sabre: (it's not out yet. but it's coming. And I'm SUPEREXCITED)
aged_crone: When I read about what the author of The Other Boleyn Girl was writing about Katherine of Aragon, I lost any interest in any of her books.
jade_sabre: what'd she write?
Rowana: :) Who's playing Mary and Anne?
jade_sabre: Other Boleyn Girl is the only one of her books that I really liked. The other two were okay.
jade_sabre: Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, respectively.
jade_sabre adores both of these actresses.
aged_crone: I gathered that her theory was that Katherine was lying about her first marriage not being consummated.
jade_sabre: ah
Rowana: ...wow. But Scarlett Johansson as Mary?
jade_sabre: yeah
aged_crone: Natalie Portman had to have been a superb actress to have Padme' pretending to be in love with that whiny self-centered immature Anakin...
Rowana: I haven't read the book, so I can't say.
jade_sabre: (I mean, you think Henry would know, one way or another. Blah. Accusations. Bah.)
Rowana: What was the title again Leslie?
jade_sabre: heeheehee
Rowana: :D
aged_crone: I don't remember - I read the blurb in the bookstore, and somebody in here confirmed my suspicion of what the author wrote.
jade_sabre had rehearsal this afternoon for Act II, which is VERY DEPRESSING, and is a bit disgruntled with ol' King Harry right now.
emerald: I think Natalie Portman would make a great Attolia, if there had to be a film
aged_crone: King Harry was also a self-centered, selfish pig.
jade_sabre: http://www.amazon.com/Constant-Princess-Philippa-Gregory/dp/0743272498/ref=pd_bbs_3/102-9038324-7392926?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1172957695&sr=8-3 is the Katherine book.
jade_sabre: yes, he was
Rowana: that was it
jade_sabre: she'd be a good one...if she was just taller!
aged_crone: And I wouldn't trust him to tell the truth without at least five independent reliable witnesses.
aged_crone does admit that in Star Wars III Anakin was very pretty.
jade_sabre agrees.
aged_crone: ...before he was sliced, diced, and charred.
jade_sabre: Bah. I don't like the approach mentioned in this book.
jade_sabre: (I do love the covers on her books, though.)
emerald: Jade - Cate Blanchett wore boots to give her several inches of height in LOTRs
aged_crone: Or you could have all the other actors be really short, so she looked tall.
jade_sabre: heehee, that's what I would expect they would do.
jade_sabre: er, the boots. not the shortness.
Rowana: lol
aged_crone: Snort!
jade_sabre is shocked at Booklist's ignorance.
emerald: yeah. plus, the actors who played the hobbits had their heights tweaked with
emerald: obviously
jade_sabre: "Jane [Boleyn] continues her ruthless scheming as she serves as lady-in-waiting to Anne of Cleves, Henry VIII's reviled Bavarian-born fourth wife, and naive, doomed sixth wife, Catherine Howard."
jade_sabre: sayeth Booklist
jade_sabre: they did all sorts of cool things for the LOTR movies. <3
aged_crone: Jane Rochfort, you mean?
jade_sabre: yes
jade_sabre: http://www.amazon.com/Boleyn-Inheritance-Philippa-Gregory/dp/0743272501/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-9038324-7392926?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1172957695&sr=8-1
jade_sabre: the important part is that EVERYONE KNOWS CATHERINE HOWARD WAS HIS FIFTH WIFE.
aged_crone: Anne's sister in law? She did, I'm pretty sure. Ended up in real trouble over Catherine Howard, I think.
emerald: oops
aged_crone: Oh, that. I didn't even notice it!
aged_crone: Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived.
Rowana: I had to learn that off by heart when I was in Year 5
jade_sabre: heeheehee!
Rowana: History was always fun. :)
emerald: haha, me too Ro
aged_crone: From Wikipedia: "Kleve , traditionally known in English as Cleves (Dutch: Kleef) is a city in the north-west of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany"
aged_crone: Not Bavarian.
jade_sabre: ...who is Booklist? More alarmingly, why do they have such an idiot working for them? Unless she got this information from Gregory's book, which would be even more disturbing.
aged_crone: Booklist is a trade journal that reviews lots of the books that come out.
jade_sabre is not impressed.
aged_crone: I can see accidentally typing sixth when you mean fifth, but you'd think someone would have caught it at some point in the editing process.
jade_sabre: yeah
aged_crone: I got hooked on British history after reading Norah Lofts' The King's Pleasure (about Katharine of Aragon) in 7th grade.
jade_sabre: I don't even remember when I got hooked. I do remember loving Caroline Meyer's Tudor women books.
jade_sabre: I think it was that series of Princess Diaries (in the style of the Dear America books) that got me hooked.
aged_crone: And then I read Margaret Campbell Barnes' The Tudor Rose, about Elizabeth of York. It portrayed Richard III as guilty of murdering his nephews, but made him so charming that I figured, oh, what the heck, everybody has an off day every now and again.
checkers: Hi, guys. I'm back.
Rowana: Hello Checkers. :)
jade_sabre: hey!
aged_crone: Hi, Checkers!
jade_sabre: LOL, Leslie.
aged_crone: (And now I don't think there's enough evidence against Richard to hang a dog).
emerald: Hi Checkers! SAY AYE IF YOU WANT DISNEY BANNED FROM CHATZY FOR A MONTH!
jade_sabre: NAY
checkers: AYE
checkers: Wait, just for a month?
emerald: AYE
jade_sabre: (not fair! my sister just called! I'll brb!)
aged_crone: Ohhh, yeah (Tale Spin) Ohhh, ohhh (Tale Spin), Friends for life through thick and thin with another tale to spin...
emerald: umm, you can make it longer Checkers
aged_crone: Nay!
emerald: but i was being nice
checkers: I'm not sure what that is, Leslie, but it sounds Sisney-related.
checkers: *or, Disney
emerald: i like sisney better
aged_crone: It is. I have the 3 CD Disney's Greatest Hits, and that's on it.
checkers: Oh, that's too bad. :)
Rowana: I'm voting Nay too
Rowana: Um, a little late
aged_crone: It also has, from Darby O'Gill and the Little People, guess who singing "My Pretty Irish Girl"?
aged_crone: Any guesses?
Rowana: ...
aged_crone: Sean Connery.
Rowana: with your disney songs? :)
emerald: how was the crunchy nut, Ro?
Rowana: (And, I don't think I've ever heard that song)
aged_crone: Yep. He was in Darby O'Gill, pre-Bond.
checkers likes Sean Connery
Rowana: It was good. I ended up mixing it with the muesli. Interesting result.
emerald: hehe, mine had the dregs of frosties in it!
aged_crone: The Dregs of Frosties sounds like a great title for a book.
emerald: LMAO
Rowana: :D
emerald: ROFL
checkers: What could the book flap say?
Rowana: For some reason it sounded like a biological term to me. Along with the 'crypts of Leiberkuhn' and the 'nodes of Ronvier'.
aged_crone: I've never heard of either of those things. But then, I never took biology, in the certain knowledge that if somebody asked me to dissect anything I'd barf.
emerald refrains from saying "WTH" again
checkers: "The Dregs, a warlike people living in the mountainous country of The Frosties..."
emerald: yeah, my friend dissected an eyeball and it squirted liquid at her
Rowana: :) Very sensible. the crypts are intestinal ditches, and I can't remember the other one.
aged_crone: Heee heeee!@
aged_crone: Oh, ICKKKKKKK!
Rowana: Lol, Checkers
Rowana stops talking biology
aged_crone: Yes, Checkers, definitely a science fiction/fantasy type book title.
Rowana: the dregs of frosties - oh, the biological imagery
Rowana really stops this time
aged_crone: I see a progression here: The Thief. The Queen of Attolia. The King of Attolia. The Dregs of Frosties.
Rowana: Perhaps we should suggest it to Megan?
checkers: "The Frosties have always been the most magical race, until they lose their Dregs, the appendages that give them their special powers."
Rowana: Maybe that's where Sophos has been hiding
aged_crone: That's it! They'
emerald wanders back and chokes
aged_crone: ve been sheltering Sophos!
emerald: what have i started?!
aged_crone: (sorry, hit enter accidentally mid-sentence).
aged_crone: One of you guys who have contact with her suggest it. She might recently have decided that we're sane, and we wouldn't want to leave her with that false impression.
checkers: Oh, I don't think we have to worry about that.
checkers: :)
Rowana snorts
aged_crone: :)
Rowana: Maybe Sophos will return as a Dreg
Rowana: Dregidised?
aged_crone: Or Nahuseresh will be turned over to the Dregs of Frosties.
aged_crone: For suitable punishment.
Rowana: Because Gen can't strangle him. :D
checkers: Cool!
emerald: and sacrificed on a goat wool alter
emerald: to the god of Frosties or Dregs
emerald: whatever
Rowana: Maybe the dregs are the ones producing all this goat wool.
aged_crone: "I cannot strangle him - but I can deliver him to [B]THE DREGS OF FROSTIES!
Rowana: I'm not sure how. Or where that came from.
Rowana: lol, Leslie
emerald: which one?
Rowana: both?
aged_crone: Drat, capital b ruined it. THE DREGS OF FROSTIES!![/B]
jade_sabre is still on the phone with her sister, whose thumb is apparently purple.
aged_crone: DARN!!!!!
emerald: LOL have a cookie
Rowana: the God of Frosties - I'm getting a terrible image of Tony the tiger manifesting in Attolia
aged_crone: Has she been voting in Afghanistan?
emerald: Leslie, it's DARN
checkers: :D
ceecee44 from x.x.x.193 joined the chat 24 minutes ago
checkers: Hi, ceecee
ceecee44: hello everyone
aged_crone: Not the way I'm typing things tonight, it isn't.
emerald: hi, backlog or it won't make sense
Rowana: Hello Ceecee
aged_crone: Hi, ceecee.
ceecee44: k
aged_crone: Emerald, even if she backlogs it won't make sense.
emerald: from Checkers saying she likes Sean Connery
Rowana: No. I wonder if you can work this into the doomfic somehow Jade. :D
emerald: true, Leslie,
checkers: Anything ontopic to cover?
emerald: You wave that voucher Ro!
emerald: But Checkers darling, we are on topic
aged_crone: Ummmm - "on topic"? What's that?
Rowana: But you already have it beautifully planned out - but it's much more fun to be surprised Emerald
checkers: Doomfic!
Rowana: Didn't we come up with a definition of on topic?
Rowana: As anything related in any way to the books?
emerald: you did. anything to do with the books
jade_sabre is back!
Rowana: Hello. :)
aged_crone: Well, we just proposed a title for the next book, so we're on topic.
jade_sabre: what am I working into the Doomfic that I should be working on writing but am writing a different fanfic instead?
emerald: welcome to Kaos! Please take a seat. We'll bring refreshments shortly
emerald offers cookies
Rowana: Nothing Jade. :) Keep working on your other fanfic.
aged_crone: Gasp!!!!!!! Maybe the Unknown Goddess was one of the DREGS OF FROSTIES!
jade_sabre: ...
Rowana: Perhaps we should send another email to Megan. Make it an annual event.
Rowana: ...
Rowana: The Goddess of Frosties?
jade_sabre: it's snowing very hard today. I thought the snow was going to be melted by the weekend, but last night it proved itself otherwise.
Rowana: She was Tony the Tiger?
aged_crone: That's because the Dregs of Frosties are keeping the snow cold.
Rowana imagines Gen's response to 'Theyyy'rreeee Great!'
jade_sabre d ies.
emerald: I knew I should have kept my mouth shut
jade_sabre *dies too.
jade_sabre: omg.
emerald dies
jade_sabre: I think this is like blasphemy or something.
checkers: No dying in Chatzy.
jade_sabre takes an axe to whatever's going on and hacks it to bits.
jade_sabre but doesn't kill it! :-D
checkers: Good girl.
ceecee44: I backlog and i'm still confused
jade_sabre: (oh, I <3 muesli! Favorite kind of cereal ever!)
jade_sabre: hello!
checkers: Well, we all are.
emerald: sorry Ceecee
Rowana: Particularly good when mixed with Crunchy nut
Rowana is going to have to get frosties tomorrow
Rowana: Ahem. Anyway.
jade_sabre coughs too.
jade_sabre: So, is Gen brave?
emerald: yes.
checkers: yes
ceecee44: yep
emerald: Ro, and mix coco pops in too!
jade_sabre: (so...many...Royal Diary books I haven't read...)
Rowana: That was interesting post -
aged_crone from x.x.x.158 joined the chat 16 minutes ago
Rowana: Gen reminds me of Howl in this area actually.
checkers: How so?
aged_crone: Backlog froze the browser again.
jade_sabre: sorry
Rowana: Just - in QoA, when he was talking to Eddis about how he was terrified
jade_sabre: do tell, RO
jade_sabre: *Ro
jade_sabre: oh, yeah...
jade_sabre: and so he went running into it.
Philia from x.x.x.249 joined the chat 15 minutes ago
Rowana: And he had to do something. It reminded me of Howl talking about manipulating himself into doing something brave
checkers: Oh, that's something I wasn't sure about...
emerald: Ro, Megan did say they both have that slithering out problem
Rowana: Hell Philia
aged_crone: Hi, Philia.
Philia: Absolutely. The only way was to keep from thinking about doing it
aged_crone: Rowana!
emerald: *Hello
aged_crone: Your language!
checkers: Ro! (Hi Philia)
emerald: is what she meant
Rowana: ...?
Philia: Hi, I can't really stay, just tossing my two cents into the Howl discussion
emerald: Hi Philia
ceecee44: hey Philla
Philia: I like "hell Philia" actually...
Rowana: Oh, oops
Philia: Hell, Philia, get a life!
jade_sabre: howdy Philia!
jade_sabre: LOL
emerald: Your 2 cents go a long away!
Philia: Has a nice ring
checkers: :D
Rowana: I, erm, didn't see that...
emerald: *way
jade_sabre is delighted her roommate has turned on the U2. But How.
jade_sabre *Howl.
emerald: Good thing I was there to save your reputation, eh? Everyone else thought the worst of you. Only kidding *HUGS*
Rowana: There really should be prizes for good typots
emerald: there are
emerald offers cookies
Rowana: lol
Philia: Eugenides and Howl are like identical twins separated from birth
Philia: Gotta go
aged_crone: Never read whatever Howl's from.
Philia from x.x.x.249 left the chat 13 minutes ago
emerald: Ciao!
checkers: Wow, she was speedy.
checkers: Drive-By comment.
Rowana: I hope my 'Hell' didn't chase you away Philia
jade_sabre: LOL Philia.
jade_sabre: identical twins...except I thought Howl was blonde? Or is that only movie!Howl?
checkers: ...Lesie, you haven't read Howl?
aged_crone: Nope.
emerald: *Leslie
Rowana: No, he's blonde
emerald: my, aren't we typotty today
checkers: *Leslie, sorry.
Rowana: Not naturally. :)
Rowana: :)
checkers: That sounds somehow...bad, Emerald
ceecee44: i haven't read howl either
emerald: it was a typot too
Rowana wishes that she could send copies of Howl's Moving Castle to everyone
emerald: ditto, chocolate
checkers: Read it!
aged_crone already has such a stack of books to be read that it's making her feel quite faint.
jade_sabre wishes she had it with her. Still needs to read "Fire and Hemlock."
emerald: READ IT!
jade_sabre: (woot school colors!)
Rowana: You must read Fire and Hemlock first
jade_sabre also has that list of books she wants to read over spring break.
checkers: No, Howl first!
aged_crone: Not happening - Lionheart's got priority right now, not to mention Dundee and Montrose, and also Marjorie Dean.
emerald: ALL IN FAVOUR OF HOWL FIRST, SAY AYE!
emerald: AYE
Rowana: Tom Lynn doesn't get enough attention.
checkers: AYE
Rowana huffs
aged_crone: Richard, Dundee, Montrose, and Marjorie all say "Nay."
Rowana: It doesn't really matter, as long as you read them both. :)
