Well, they don't go to Hogwarts until they're eleven, so I assume they go to nonmagic school until then, or are homeschooled, or some such like. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.

Hmm. I read an article in the Onion about J.K. Rowling and how she sold her soul to Satan for the ability to write the books and get them to sell (the Onion, for those of you who don't know, is a parody newspaper with fake satirical articles) and some fanatical Christian found it online and tried to pass it off as real. And no, I'm not high. If you read the part I'm talking about, it makes no mention of him actually dying. It just describes his fall through the mysterious archway, but not once is the word "death" or any of its derivatives used. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.

On that note, Emily Dickinson style-- Because I could not stop for Avernum It kindly Stopped for Me-- The Portal held but just Myself And my other Adventurers Three.

Get a room, you two. :P I like bagpipes. I once went to a commencement ceremony where they played "Pomp and Circumstance" on bagpipes for the processional.

Or Victor Hugo and his pointless rambling. In the city of Fort E-----, six adventurers were held, as it was in Homer's epic tale of Ulysses and his men; one might say that the foremost of these adventurers, a Ulysses in himself, had such a countenance, and had he fought at Waterloo, where great Napoleon fell, calling to his steward, "Fetch me a horse," but the steward had gone, and great Napoleon's life ebbed there on the battlefield...now, in the days of Napoleon, where men spoke argot, that hideous tongue of the sewers, which has been solely responsible for the decline of Parisian society, through its despicable base crudeness, as we see in the case of Patron-Minette, who can be seen as parallels to four of the unwelcome suitors in Homer's epic... EDIT: Oh, and a haiku: Big powerful sliths Whoop the puny Nephilim-- Ha! Who's laughing now?

I once wrote a song entitled "The Night Erika Went Crazy," blatantly ripped off from Weird Al. I'll see if I can find it; I think it's on my other computer.

1. Flying, naturally. That would rock. 2. Hmm...mind-reading would be cool. I'd go around delving into the twisted minds of all my teachers. 3. I dunno...superhero names are hardly ever creative, so I'd probably just be, like, Mind-Reading Lady or something. Or Telepathic Woman.

[i] -----SPOILERS----- [/i] *sobs melodramatically* Sirius! My poor Padfoot! I bought the book in an Italian airport and read it all on the plane ride back to Philly. My friends, who hadn't bought the book, all told me not to tell them what I was crying about. Incidentally, the British edition, as all the English-language bookstores in Italy are run by Brits, is only 760-something pages. I had sworn bloody revenge on J.K. Rowling for killing off Snuffles, but then I figured...he didn't really die...he just kind of fell into the Twilight Zone...so maybe he'll come back or something in book 6 or 7 for a visit to the land of the living, and I wouldn't want to kill J.K. before she wrote the next 2 books. When she's finished Book 7, I'll find her house and burn it down. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

1. Sir David and his ilk--"Oh, I'm Christian, but I'm not like all those hypocritical Christians who believe they're exclusively right about everything, even though I get all up-in-arms and offended every time someone disagrees with me and clearly think I'm in the right even though I deny it to sound good! Boo hoo, everyone hates me and disagrees with me because I'm Christian! I'm such a persecuted martyr!" 2. Christians who really do believe that they're right about everything because of the Bible, which is everything Alec said-- an inexact translation of an inexact translation that's 4000 years out of date anyway. It should be thought of along the same lines as the Epic of Gilgamesh, in my opinion--useful for understanding what life was like back then, but taken no more seriously than Greek mythology. 3. Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Concerned Women For America, PETA, Mission America and all those other people/groups who are sending this country to hell in a handbasket. 4. Bush and company. 5. Blind patriots who would support Bush if he decreed that all Americans must run to the nearest bridge and jump off it, because AMERICA IS GREAT and BUSH IS ALWAYS RIGHT. 6. People who use "gay" as an insult. 7. Little boys from the ages of 1 to 14. 8. The Revere Brigade. 9. Reality TV. 10. Seven-year-old girls who wear tube tops and hoochie shorts. 11. Boy bands, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne and any and all rap. (Don't hurt me, Drakey.) 12. People who whine incessantly when deprived of their X-boxes for a week because they were sightseeing in Rome. (I just spent a week in Rome with my Latin class and assorted annoying 8th-graders, and one kid actually uttered the sentence, "I can't believe I'm stuck in Rome when I could be at Dungeons and Dragons camp." He wouldn't shut up about how much he missed his video games. We tried to push him off the top story of the Colosseum, but our chaperone caught us.)

Oooh. Satanism. :rolleyes: WebWarrior, do you work for this company, or are you trying to promote their wares just for the hell of it? At the risk of sounding straight, I do use my clothes to reflect some of who I am, at least when going to public gatherings. I want people who look at me to have a general sense of the kind of things I like. Most of the time, I'll throw on whatever is comfortable and won't get caught on nails and scenery when doing tech work, but if I'm going to a party, I might wear something vaguely Goth-looking. I would not, however, be caught dead in that ugly-ass beret, shirt or dress. I am the kind of person who uses clothing to express herself, but I don't let it determine how I think of myself; rather, I let the way I think of myself determine my clothing. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.
