Hi Ella. It does seem strange doesn’t it. How many pages did we have on the last one?

Hi Rhi I think we reached 1495 or 96

No it was 1436, I’m so bad with numbers

Ella I think that was a good guess. How are you? Are you in the midst of finals?

I’m pretty good. No, I’m mostly finished. I already took the ‘big’ tests so I’m just finishing up what’s left.. But it is mostly all non-required extra stuff, so I am really pretty much graduated. I would have been done in March if I didn’t have so much extra.

How have you been?

I am good. I have been really busy because of the mythical "Swine flu epidemic". It is driving me mad. I have been writing which is good. And I am really excited about going to LeakyCon next week.

Wow it’s so close already, I’m excited for you guys. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun, and you all could use a break!

Sirius I don’t know if anyone answered you, I kept trying to remember to. When you search a name you get the results for the account name and the display name. Like my account name is _Ella so if you searched _Ella/Ella/E.S. the Maruader etc I would come up for all of them. So the people in your search results probably had some of the words you searched in their account name. Make sense? lol

I only know this because I messed up my first account and was experimenting with it haha

Okay need to head up, night leaky

lol I have a tilde before and after the ‘Ella’ I forgot about coding

night Ella and thanks, that is what I thought

Night Ella

Lemon If you check in tonight, I have bled red all over your chapter. LOL Where are we meeting tomorrow? Dead Lobster, Azteca, or somewhere else? Let me know.

Sirius Are you still here? Did you have that Invisability Cloak on?

Good night Leaky friends. See you all tomorrow!

night Rhia I was lurking now I’m going to bed also

see ya’ll tomorrow.

What do you all think?

I’m running Windows XP, but I’ve made it so it looks like Windows Vista (Including start up/shut down screens)

Hey, Guys.
It’s good to be back! I’ve been completely M.I.A., and I don’t even know why; nothing of any significance has sprung up. I see, though, that we’ve gotten a new poll! Yes! Finally. I have over fifteen pages to catch up on, so here I go…

It turned out that the father committed the murders around the corner. He stabbed his two little babies; they were rushed to the hospital, where they passed away soon after. He also stabbed his wife (I think they’re married). The last I heard, she was still alive. He then stabbed himself, but of course the wretched man is perfectly fine and stable.
We also had another murder around here a day later. Crime waved…

Enough drama.

A great big – delayed – Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!
I see that MM finally got her D.A. teen shirt. Enjoy that, MM!
I get so many weird looks from people when I wear my S.P.E.W. tee shirt. Ha.
Sending prayers for your son’s second week on the job, MM.
Oh good, and a Game Night!

I miss **Ironsos**…
Don’t overwork yourself, Jen. And stay sane! You’ll need some to lose at LeakyCon. :D
And I’d love to do a Vlog project with you. I’ve been wanting to do some for my blog, but haven’t gotten around to it (and I’m still working on my Gryffindor within; I hate filming myself!).
They’re making ANOTHER Saw movie, Deanie? Yeesh, they’re milking that cow for all its got…
I hope you’re enjoying Midnight Sun, Sirius. It’s my favorite. You get more Alice and Jasper. :D

Off to the new Poll…
Eight pages…it’s 1:30AM…oh gosh…
Ella, you did it! Cheers!

“**Sirius**, you dug Mad Eye’s eye out from the base of the tree where Harry buried is? That’s just wrong.”

That just made my week.
…but ouch, Laura! I knew you were Terminator, but I hadn’t yet heard HOW you became the Bionic Woman. Eek. I love ATVs, though…

PB, really. For shame. Be a man.
Welcome, JRae! It’s great to meet you. I hope to chat with you in the future!
I see Miss Huff popped in. Always a pleasure, m’dear!
Oh yes, Rhi, I loved the Shell Cottage pictures. I loved Griphook and Bellatrix. I’m not too keen with the building, but gee, you can’t always have it your way.
Shout-out to Josie! We miss you.

Oh look, PB stopped by RIGHT when Won mentioned Lindsay Lohan. He’s like a vulture; constantly on the lookout for that kind of topic.
Hi, Miss Hagr- oh…uh…
Woah, Sirius just went all Valley Girl. :O!
PB carries Neosporin. Interesting.

…yes! I am all caught up! Good Lord. Only a few more things to say…
Jen, Lemon (I’m glad you’re back is feeling better, Lemon!), and Rhi, I cannot believe LeakyCon is so close. I am so excited for you three. Pictures! Must take a billion pictures, okay? Okay. Oh, and we have – intake of breath – 64 days till HBP! Yippee! It’s going to be great. Everything is.

Okay, I am NOT going to read through my post for errors – it’s nearly 3:00AM! And I have to get up early tomorrow. Aye.

I’ll be posting more regularly. I’ve been gone since Saturday, and already feel discombobulated without my Leaky friends. ♥ you all. Goodnight

Lemon-Sized post! :O

You use :O and :O! a lot.
Me thinks I’ve tainted you.

You’re so full of it, Jr.

(Goodnight.)

OMG 8 pages already and I have been gone for days and there are new people (HI by the way, and welcome!) and and and… I am freaking out! I will never catch up totally at this point, I will just have to start over, but Rhiannon if my mss looks like a dead body I am running in the other direction! You will have to get me liquored up before I can handle that, woman, LOL. Start the margaritas and keep ’em coming. Azteca, yes?

And MM missed being first again. OMG. What are we going to do about that woman? We’ll have to rig a special Poll for her and make a deal not to post until she does or something, this is heartbreaking. {{{{HUGS}}}} MM! ;)

So the only thing that I actually caught in my quick skim through was the movies-that-are-better-than-books discussion and I have one (IMO, anyway): The Firm! I’m not a huge fan of Grisham’s anyway, I guess I should disclose that upfront, I think he overwrites but yet goes for the cliched endings. I thought the ending of the movie version of The Firm was much more creative. (I thought it was funny that you mentioned it right as I was thinking about that movie, LH, there’s that thing again. :) )

Graymayne I agree, Star Trek was fabulous, I was really surprised, especially since I was never into that series. I preferred Star Wars. :) Asti glad your son and DS enjoyed it and very sorry you got stuck with Hannah. {{{{HUGS}}}} How is Princess Pink and everyone else at your house?

Today was Senior Appreciation for LD’s fastpitch team, which was a lot of nothing, but at least the season is almost over, I can’t wait. One thing off the list. The rest of the day was spent online but NOT here having fun (whining and pouting over that) but at least I accomplished a few things. I am tearing my hair out trying to get ready for LeakyCon and will send Rhiannon back to the Castle in need of some psychiatric care after our lunch tomorrow, I am sure, so someone be sure to be around for her, all right? I don’t think even the doc is ready to deal with my level of mania at the moment. :)

And OMG OMG OMG don’t even get me started on the DH photos!!!! I cannot believe how much they are letting out so early! Not that I’m complaining, but still. HBP’s not even out and we practically have the whole of DH in still shots in the Gallery. They must be feeling far guiltier about that date change than they let on, to be giving us so much so soon. Harry & Ron look appropriately scruffy and Dobby… SO sad, I can hardly bear to even look at the pics of that scene. 2010 and 2011 feel like light years away. BUT… 64 days for HBP! We are ALMOST under two months to go. Unbelievable.

I miss you all so much, and I know this is not a proper catch up, and I hope to at least pop in over the next few days but we have exactly one week before LeakyCon and I really am getting frantic! Not that you could tell from this calm and rational post, I know.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX and see you all soon, I HOPE!!

Good Morning Everybody!!!!!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY TO EVERYBODY!!!!!
I AM WISHING EVERYBODY TO HAVE A SPLASHINGLY SPLENDID DAY!!!
I AM SO GLAD THAT THE SUN IS SHINNING THIS MORNING!!!!
Good Morning Headmistress LemonFaerie!!!!!!! and Ava Rose!!!!! and PotterBoy90[ROAR]!!!! LOL

Aloha, y’all! ;)

Off to try and be productive. ;)

Lemon Azteca! I will order the muy humungo margaritias. LOL

More dittany for OldMrToad.

Laura I was wondering the same thing.

Jen and Lemon I can’t believe we will be leaving next week. More margaritias! And 64 days until HBP. And pics form DH. Squeeee!

Ava Good to have you back, dear.

Deanie Have a great day there by yourself.

I put some pork in the crock pot this morning with some onion, garlic, and BBQ sauce, so now my hands smell like BBQ. And anyone’s welcome, there should be plenty!

Afternoon All

Where does the day go? It was morning when I got on the computer and now that I’ve caught up it’s afternoon. It must have taken me longer than I thought to look at all those pictures.

And now I have to post and leave. Just got an email from my daughter so need to go read it. Lol
