Renata: okay, i just told myself that i have to type a page before i can look at your ims ^_^ so if there’s a long pause, that’s why
Pris: hee! Wow, my presence is being used as a motivational tool! I feel so special!
Renata: hee, priscilla is a tool *giggles*
Pris: hey, if I have to be a tool, at least I’m a tool for good, and not evil.
Pris: You, meanwhile are a tool for evil. How did I get distracted from WIAN? Bad Priscellie!
(Shoulder Devil: But Priscilla…. K/O fluff!
Shoulder Angel: *looks up from K/O goodness* Erm, be good! Work on WIAN! *goes back to K/O* Yeah, I’ll be cheering for you and all that…)
Renata: teehee
Renata: yay, wian
Pris: *goes back to WIAN like a good girl*
Pris: *okay, the only reason she’s going back to WIAN is she finished reading the new posts in F&A*
Renata: maybe you’d be more motivated if you sprinkled pictures of shirtless alan throughout the etymology
Pris: Dude, that would be fabulous!
Renata: *giggles and goes back to page.. 4*
Pris: And the word “thestral” comes from… erm… *stares* turn to page 15, er 17, class.
Renata: teehee
Renata: yay, shirtless alan.
Pris: glee!
Renata: i mean… harry potter etymology.
Pris: wah
Renata: that could be your new slogan
Pris: good plan!
Pris: “See ALAN CUMMING SHIRTLESS! I mean a bunch of speculation as to what the names of stuff means and yeah I think I’ll go away now ignore me wah.
Sam! You are EVIL and unfit to bear my children! Once you get into the mindset, these Quidditch-as-a-metaphor-for-sex references just don’t stop, do they? Looking up stuff for WIAN, I see that “bludger” is Australian slang for a pimp. And reading to my parents, I was amused to note that on James’ exam paper, he chooses to draw Lily’s initials and a golden snitch. And Alicey and I concur that the phrase “Apparently it is for an incredibly wet Quidditch game” from a TLC article is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Gah, am I ever going to stop thinking in these terms? Probably not. CURSE YOU, SAM! CURSE YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL! May you be forced to read every single one of the “Fics with ‘Veil’ in the Title” you’ve been collecting.
::grooves:: Weird Al concert tomorrow!
GLEE!
Wow. It occurs to me that I’ve written remarkably little about what’s going on in my life, versus what’s going on online. So let’s rememdy that!
The other night, I went to the party for Burkhead’s CD Release. She’s joined the League of Hockaday Songwriters including Harriet Schock (a rather well-known songwriter from my parents’ generation and my dad’s high school girlfriend XD), and Lisa Loeb, with honorary member Robin Macy, a Math teacher at Hockaday and a founding member of the Dixie Chicks. She and her “band” seranaded us as we munched on barbeque and caught up with friends. She played all the songs on her CD (7, I believe), then did “Wizard of My Heart” solo as an encore, to the delight of her fans. “Harry Potter, oh how I love you, I think I’m going to kill Hermione” and “If I can’t have you, I’ll settle for Ron.”
I love that song. Burkhead is my musical hero.
We were disappointed that she didn’t sing “Government Conspiracy” or “I Wanna Be a Teenybopper,” but oh well. She is but one woman. And she will totally rock Davidson.

Does anyone remember which Discworld book the phrase “wizard wheeze” appeared? Pure curiosity, here.
Edit: Ah, here we go. Jingo! 71-hour-Ahmed. God bless e-texts!
Does anyone know where this phrase originated? I’ve seen it in Molesworth as well. 50 points to the house of your choice.
All worship Kell’s new layout!
