Potter Off Topic Thread

ahahha. Look! This thread so could be named POT! I say we start doing it next time, if you're with me.

I don't think the HP boards are bigger than the Twilight boards these days... or is it (I could easily find out, but I'm lazy ahaha)? There's a huge Twilight hype going on and we're are losing HP threads rapidly :( :lol:.

[Helen Weasley]

Well, we are POTterHeads. heehee...
Anyways, I call it Breaking Yawn now. Some people have been telling me to be nicer (not just on these forums), so I've been trying to be nicer to the Twihards, but really...That's the new title I've given it.

[danyjoncew]

Exactly, we're Potterheads, it works perfectly :D. Say you agree with me, potter people!

I hated Twilight and it's not a secret, but since we do have fans here, insulting the books in front of them would be a little insensitive. But to be honest, the horrible and hilarious Breaking Dawn reviews almost make me want to read it for epic lolz. And more importantly, I REALLY want it to be a movie ahahaha.

I hate stupid professors who just don't bother showing up for the 1st classes of the semester and don't even care enough to put a note on the door ¬¬. At least we got some rain. YES, I came back soaked yesterday :heart:.

[Cilla]

I don't think there are a lot of fans left after Breaking Dawn :lol:

[danyjoncew]

Really, Cilla? Cause I've read a few comments loving the book and I saw it managed to get a few stars on Amazon (with hundreds of people rating 5 :-O).

[rachelfan88]

There are still fans of course, I think the really die hard fans are the only ones left, because I loved the books, not so much love as much as strangely obsessed with it, because they're not even good, but with this one I couldn't care less.

[Cilla]

yeah, I read that some people loved it too... but the majority REALLY hated it.
it's just fangirls in denial probably.

[rachelfan88]

yeah, I read that some people loved it too... but the majority REALLY hated it.
it's just fangirls in denial probably.

I think it's time to bring JKR's D word and say darling if you think that book was good you might be a bit delusional

[Cilla]

haha so true.
i'm at chapter 17 right now.

[Helen Weasley]

I think it's time to bring JKR's D word and say darling if you think that book was good you might be a bit delusional

I couldn't have put it better myself! :D
Certainly, those who are still giving the series ten million stars must be delusional.

[danyjoncew]

:lol:. The d word was an Emerson Spartz work though, not Jo's, as much as she laughed when he said it. Some fans were ready to burn her alive and blaming her for Emerson's choice of words aahahah.

Speaking of Emerson, maybe it's because I got sick of Mugglenet or something, but haven't heard of him ever since he was on TV talking about Dumby being gay (rolls eyes at Fox "News"). I remember he said he made a lot of money with Mugglenet and that is so weird for me.

[Helen Weasley]

He had a little blurb in the live Mugglecast last week...

[Captain oats 13]

Whoever thinks Breaking is good is quite the big D. Me being a fan of the series is more than happy to admit that. However, I think hardcore fans would love the book even if it was the characters reading the phone book.

Where is Emerson?? I never go on Mugglenet, (Leaky is my homeland) but I still like him.

[Helen Weasley]

:lol: :lol: I think characters reading the phone book might have more plot than SMeyer's series does...
I'm not sure exactly where Emerson is. I just remember a blurb about him on the mugglecast....I'll have to listen to it again.

[Captain oats 13]

I. LOVE. YOUR. SIG!!!!!! JAMES MARSDEN!!!!!!!! :drool:

[danyjoncew]

Changed the title for pot :D. Or not, why won't it really changeon the main page :(?

[Helen Weasley]

Thanks. :) I was watching 27 Dresses and this James Marsden love came over me and I just had to have his uber sexiness in my sig. :D :drool:

[rachelfan88]

I love him in 27 Dresses it's lovely and the move is very cute!

[Manon]

ugh people who think bd was good...i'm like...did you actually READ the book?

[rachelfan88]

Still reading it? :lol:

I don't even want to go into BD threads, because I can't keep replaying that book in my head!

[Manon]

yeah i dont want to pick it back up cause its so bad and it makes my brain hurt =(

[BellaBlack]

Overall I didn't like BD either although I know a lot of fans who did. It appears to be quite mixed thats for sure. Anyway it was always HP>Twilight for me anyway so now I might be less of a Twlight fan but it's not that much of a big deal for me.

Hmm I don't really like calling others delusional because I know what it feels like and it's not nice to say the least. Although what did Emerson say about Dumby being gay? I missed that one? Fox News? This doesn't sound good to me :lol: I don't blame JKR for what he said about my ship anyway I just dislike him in general. I never go on mugglenet or leaky cauldron because by the time I go on FB here I always get the news from you guys :lol: :D I only go to other sites to view the trailers and such.

[Helen Weasley]

Yeah, I get most of my news from these forums. Fanbolt kicks ass. :)
I just bought myself a new iPod. 80 gig. Damn, it's big. Way bigger than my little itty bitty nano was....

[Manon]

i get it from my hpana, leaky & veritaserum newsfeed on igoogle =D

[Cilla]

WHOOOAAH I just got back from work
KI was supposed to work from 1-9 it's now 11:10. EEK.
shower now!

[Helen Weasley]

Worked some overtime, Cilla? That must've sucked.
I just downloaded the HBP trailer onto my iPod. Spiffy.

[Cilla]

yup. I did, and it did.
but everyone always gets a little spazzy when it takes so long, so it was kinda okay :)

[Helen Weasley]

what kind of job do you have, anyways?
Lol, if I get spazzy at work, that makes things interesting,cause I'll start asking people for their credit card expiration date after they give me their phone number. :lol: That always makes me feel a little insane...

[Manon]

okay i just had to share

found this on a ljcommunity

this was up on the twilight lexicon until VERY recently

Can vampires have babies? What happens when a woman is pregnant and gets changed?

No. In the Twilight universe, a vampire's only bodily fluid is its venom; this replaces the saliva and other fluids. Thus, vampires have no sperm, so they cannot make vampire babies. When a human is changed into a vampire, they are essentially "frozen" and thus will stay same way forever. If a pregnant woman is changed, she will remain pregnant forever, no matter what stage her pregnancy was in, two days or eight months, and the baby will never be born.


Smeyer is SUCH a failure and now it is official: the worst writer ever

[Cilla]

I THOUGHT I READ SOMETHING ABOUT THAT!

OMG EPIC FAIL!

so my message will be in caps.

[Manon]

also, when bella is changed she's all cut open and in the middle of giving birth. though when she's a vampire she's all pretty and perfect and NOT cut open and NOT having any of the babyfat

[Cilla]

HAHA I was thinking that too!
I was like.. when she becomes a vampire.. she MUST have the stomach!
and there she was, flat stomach and everything.
AND HER SPINE WAS HEALED
WTH.WTH.

[Manon]

Hahaha i laughed so hard when her spine broke

[Captain oats 13]

Wow...that quote is...wow. :lol:

[BellaBlack]

I knew it! I mean anyone who knows some biology knew that anyway. I don't get it :confused: that sucks man..I know SM took a different writers style and approach but now I am more than disappointed. Although I'm glad Bella's spine was fixed although however magically that is gross and horrible *shudders*

you go on iTunes to d/l the HBP trailer right Helen?

[Cilla]

i'm home! it's a miracle hahaha.
yesterday i had to work til 9 and I got home around 11:05. now I had to work til 9 and I got home at 9:16. LOL.

[Manon]

work was LAAAAAME

[Captain oats 13]

At least you didn't spend the whole time ripping tickets. FWI: If you want to go see a movie, DON'T DROP YOU'RE F***ING TICKET! I also can't so anything aout the prices so shut up.

[Helen Weasley]

Yeah, I looked up trailers, and then there it was, for downloading on iTunes. I love iTunes. :)
I kept saying that to people, that there's no sperm in Vampires, but no one believed me!!! I knew I was right!

[Manon]

well i spent a big part of my night polishing glasses =| The fun wears off after a while

[Helen Weasley]

There's fun at the beginning? Wow.
I spent my night last night hanging out with friends and going to see the Labyrinth in the theaters....So much fun. :)

[Danizinha]

Hey girlies :wave:

Gahh I've missed so much talk. Stupid classes. I'm going crazy already :(
Sorry for not being here as much :crying:

[Cilla]

OOOOHMYYYYGOOOOOOOOD.
SMEYER SHOULD ****ING DIE RIGHT NOW!!!! LIKE, NOW!
WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/757/afbeelding1do9.png

[Manon]

i hate her
she's stealing all jkr's ideas

[Helen Weasley]

What a stupid betch. She's definitely stealing J.K's ideas. I mean, seriously. And who the hell is even going to buy a freaking Twilight encyclopedia thing...?

[Danizinha]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nothing to do but to laugh at this.

She can't even be compared to Rowling :lol:

[Captain oats 13]

Yeah....not buying that.

[Helen Weasley]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nothing to do but to laugh at this.

She can't even be compared to Rowling :lol:

There usually isn't much else to do but laugh when it comes to Twilight....It's just so very mockable.

[Manon]

like the books are that complicated....*lol*

[Cilla]

and it's coming out december 30th. that's less than 5 months away. LOOOOL.

[Manon]

they're so complicated she needs like 3 months to write it! (how long does it take to get a book published?)

[rachelfan88]

I'm sorry doesn't she have someone to say to her NO.

This is insane! She needs to step away from the writing world.

[Helen Weasley]

I've been working on the novel I'm trying to get published right now for over two years...and it takes a good year to get published, after you get a literary agent and a deal with a publisher...
So it makes no sense to me how she could've written Twilight in three months...Oh. Right. it has no plot.
What the hell is gonna be in this encyclopedia? Twelve hundred more pages of "Oh, Edward, I love you!" "Bella, my love!" "Edward!" "Bella!" "Edward!"?

[zealousheart]

That made me laugh a lot.

Oh well. JKR>Smeyer. We know that at least.

And haha Helen, probably. I have missed much of the Twilight bashing because I don't HATE it, I just think HP is better but does anyone else think Edward/Bella is a kind of...blah relationship? Like Harry/Hermione? :lol: Just kidding but like it didn't interest me. Jacob was so much better.

[Cilla]

but seriously, WHY would they need an encyclopedia? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
there's NOTHING complicated about it, nothing needs to be explained or whatever.

[BellaBlack]

I can see a lot of fans buying it. I don't think I will, I've already spent enough money on her books. And no way can SM ever by compared to JKR I HATE it when people do that. SM said herself there'll never be another JKR. It's just...a comparsion that should've never been made :lol:

[danyjoncew]

"You may think you already know everything"... see? When you read things like HP or Lord of the Rings you KNOW there's so much more and you get so curious that an encyclopedia/additional books makes sense, but if fans think they already know everything there's to know... how about STOPPING and writing NEW things?

[BellaBlack]

Idk what could be in there. More werewolf/vamp myth? Or more backstories on characters? I have no idea that's all that I can think of.

[Cilla]

but if she hasn't written things she thought of, WHY write 200+ pages of Bella trying to tell how much she loves Edward and swooning over him, while she could've written something else? IT GETS OLD, SMEYER!

[rachelfan88]

What backstory? It's not that interesting! I might love Edward but I don't need 100 years of his story, I just don't.

And if it's about vampires, I have enough with Buffy and Angel, I think we all do, I just don't see an encyclopedia being needed, not every book needs explanation, but that could just be me.

[BellaBlack]

:lol: I was just making suggestions how should I know? That idea doesn't really appeal to me.

[Captain oats 13]

It's hard not to compare JKR to Meyer cause it's too much of a coincidence that this book thingie is now in the works after JKR already said she is gonna publish hers. I don't hate the Twilight books, (well, excluding the last), but this is just ridiculous.

Anyhoo, I can't WAIT for JKR's!!!*! :D

[zealousheart]

Did anyone listen to her interview on Mugglecast? Cuz I wonder what she said. It said she compared her books and HP books.

But yeah...JKR's should be great. Did you hear she wrote a prequel? 800 words. So need to read that.

EDIT: It's totally here:
http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/1684
Yay for JKR's writing!

[Helen Weasley]

I was so pissed when Mugglecast had SMeyer talking about Twilight...Cause I listen to Mugglecast for HP, not to listen to stuff I'm already hearing about everywhere else...
That prequel is highly entertaining. And I was gonna pre-order Beedle the Bard, but I have to wait till my new debit card comes in the mail...hopefully it'll be here tomorrow so I can order it. :) I'm so psyched for the BtB and J.K's encyclopedia.

[Captain oats 13]

The prequel was amazing! But it makes me want a HP prequel book! :lol: How amazing would that be??

I can't wait or B+B. I am getting the more expensive one.

[Helen Weasley]

I'm going for the cheaper one, simply because my bank account can handle that one while I pay the bills. :)
I do want an HP prequel. But I also want to see J.K write something other than HP...

[Captain oats 13]

Thats true. Can't JKR write the encyclopedia, a prequel and a new book? :lol: or is that asking too much? ;)

[Manon]

you could buy the prequel in a book with those other short stories i think, but it was only in the UK and not a whole lot of books were available =(

[Helen Weasley]

What other short stories...?
Did she write more, or was it other authors?

[Captain oats 13]

There were other authors.

[BellaBlack]

I can't wait for all of JKR's new stuff. Her encyclopedia will be like a bible for me for awhile :lol: although I'm not sure I'm ready for her to write a new book. I'd love her to keep writing amazing books don't get me wrong but I'm still used to her only being like a sort of HP goddess :lol: not ready for that to change even though the series has ended.

[Helen Weasley]

:lol:
She totally is a goddess to me still.
I think when the encyclopedia comes out, I'm going to go to random churches and read from that, rather than their bible, and see if anyone notices the difference. ;)
heehee...
That actually sounds like fun.

[Captain oats 13]

:lol: I can picture you doing that, Helen. :)

I know...I am kinda iffy on her writing other books as well. I am sure they will be amazing, but no matter how good they are they will always be compared to HP and that just sucks for them.

[BellaBlack]

That's true but hey I'd love to read more of her fiction for the rest of my life just not right now :lol:

Helen, I can see you doing that too cheers :bgrin:

[Captain oats 13]

I want more HPPPPPPPPPPP! :lol:

[Danizinha]

I want more too!!!! More HP, and new JKR books too. Although I agree it will be a little weird at first since she really is our HP goddess :lol:

Whoever compared SM to JKR was probably on crack or something. GO JK :cheer:

[Cilla]

Whoever compared SM to JKR was probably on crack or something. GO JK :cheer:

even more crack than SMEYER was on while writing Breaking Dawn.

[Manon]

She wrote it together with rpatzz while on crack

[Captain oats 13]

:lol:

Who made you guys the anti-Meyer club? :lol:

[Helen Weasley]

Um, we did. :lol:
I was watching Whose Line is it Anyways with my sister last night, and they were doing this mock, really bad vampire skit, and my sister was like, "I just figured out where Stephanie Meyer got her plot idea from!!"
hahaa....okay, it was one of those "you had to be there" things, I think. But it was still funny.
:lol: since everyone can see me doing it, I so am. :lol: I can just see myself getting struck by lightening...

[BellaBlack]

I'm okay with SM I guess I just didn't like Breaking Dawn :lol: I had a crack addict av for it too cuz I was so excited for the book and after I finished reading it..not the same effect :lol:

damn I'd like more HP prequels. Think of all that could be written just post Harry Hogwarts era..

[Danizinha]

Nothing against her personally or anything, since I didn't even read all of her books, but I just can't fathom how she got so famous with her books. There are a lot of much better books out there.

I'd love some HP prequels as well. I'm sure JK would be brilliant as always :D

[Helen Weasley]

What I can't fathom is how she's had 5 books published filled with gramatical errors, little plot, and bad sentence structure, and my query's been rejected by six agents so far...
Though I just had my nicest rejection letter yet, where the agent told me that while I was good, the first few pages just didn't intrigue her enough when she's as busy as she is...
Suck. I just want one to say yes...I know rejection is part of the whole publishing process, but it still sucks.

[danyjoncew]

here's a llama, there's a llama and another little llama.

[Helen Weasley]

:lol: random.
I love the llama song. :)

That too, Helen :lol:

I'm sure you'll get accepted soon *crosses fingers*

[Helen Weasley]

Thanks. :) I hope so too.
I know there's going to be more no's, but I just can't wait for that one wonderful yes...

[Manon]

Okay so the WB is on crack too now.

WHATS IT WITH ALL THIS CRACK PEOPLE?

[Helen Weasley]

i don't know...maybe someone came along and handed out the crack to a whole lot of people....
They gave WB the largest amount.

[Captain oats 13]

WB and Smeyer are prob having crack hits together. (Yeah, **** the Meyer niceness, the movie I have been looking forward to most this year was pushed back 8 months and Smeyer made my favorite character into a spawn loving pedophile.) I am ****ing pissed.

F*** U, STARS!! I CAN SWEAR IF I WANT!!!! :mad: ::pissed::cussing::bang:

[Helen Weasley]

Don't forget that your favorite character is borderline rapist, as well.
Stupid crackheads.

[Captain oats 13]

Bastards.

**** YOU 15 CHARACTERS

[Helen Weasley]

I kinda want to bombard the WB with a wand and shout curses at them...
but I have no magical abilites.
Damn it.

[Manon]

everybody sign this petition plz

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/harrypotter6

it might not help, but better safe then sorry!

[Helen Weasley]

I signed it.
My sister just went "huh. whatever" when I told her. How is it that she, a huge HP fan, isn't as upset about this as I am?
Maybe I'm just the bigger nerd....

[rachelfan88]

I'm so sad! This is just so horrible!

I hate the wb! It's evil and wrong, I'm not very eloquent to insult today.

[Danizinha]

Hahaha Helen. She's probably a big fan of the books, not the movies. Which is pretty much my case. I'm not that bothered about this delay either. :shrugs:

[BellaBlack]

NOOOOOOO

July 2009?

I was hoping it was false :lol:

[Helen Weasley]

I'm a big fan of mocking the movies. That's why I'm so depressed. :(
I really enjoy laughing and annoying people in the theater...

[Captain oats 13]

Your depressed because you want to annoy and insult sooner?? :ponder: You can always see Twilight, if anything that will give you more insults right?

I can't believe how anti-Twilight I have become since Breaking Dawn. :lol:

[Helen Weasley]

Well, I enjoy the movies because they're entertaining, and the cheesy parts are fun to mock.
I'm not gonna spend that much money to see Twilight, though. If I see that movie, it'll be RedBoxed. one whole dollar. Or maybe the dollar theaters on 50 cent wednesday. That's all i'll spend on that tripe...
But I dunno if I can go see Twilight...it might hurt to roll my eyes that much. And I may actually die of laughter, like I almost do every time i see the preview.

[Danizinha]

:lol: Helen.

I don't think I'll be going to see Twilight either. I might after a lot of time. But I have a lot or movies I want to watch first.

[Helen Weasley]

I'm a fan of mocking cheesy movies such as Twilight, but I don't want to actually spend money on it...
ooh, I know! I'll make a guy I can't stand who's been asking me when we're going to hang out next go see it...that way he'll pay, and by making him see it, he'll stop speaking to me...hmm....that might just work.

[zealousheart]

:lol:, very Slytherin of you Helen. Whatever, despite BD it's still the chick flick of fall, and looks hot, I shall see it. If I get the time.

So I just came from the eye doctor. And I have pink eye. And it hurts. And I am not amused.

[Cilla]

I'm SOOOO not going to see Twilight on November 21st. that's betraying HP.

My dad's coming tomorrow :D

[rachelfan88]

I'm SOOOO not going to see Twilight on November 21st. that's betraying HP.

My dad's coming tomorrow :D

It does feel like I'd be betraying HP!

[Helen Weasley]

:lol: I love your guy's Buffy sigs. :D
It is betraying HP....
Guess what, I got my first "maybe" from a literary agent!!! Yea!! I'm in a good mood cause of it and I thought I'd let yall into my good mood...It's a good mood to be in, good moods...heehee...
Okay, I'm hyper.

[zealousheart]

Fine I'm betraying HP then. *storms off* :lol:, just kidding, it's all good. To each his own.

OMG Helen congraaats! Saw your post the other day about how you were frustrated what with Twilight and that's amazing. :) May I ask what your book's about?

[BellaBlack]

congrats Helen :bgrin:

Hmm I didn't think about it as betrayal but it is really :lol: maybe I'll wait until my Thanksgiving break to see w/ my FL friends and cousin..not too excited to see it that day anymore. I already was making plans...GRR.

[Helen Weasley]

Be smart, don't see Twilight! :lol:
I don't want to post it on a public forum, cause I'm rather protective of my ideas. But it's a young adult, and it's about freedom, beauty, truth and love. ;) heehe...okay, so it's not Moulin Rouge. But it is about those things, really.

[Captain oats 13]

Yay Helen, congrats! :D

[zealousheart]

:lol:, sounds like something I would like. I am acquiring a list of fandom/online people who are writing books I MUST get.

And yeah Bella you SHOULD see Twilight! We are betraying in the grand tradition of Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape, lmao. Actually I never planned to see it on the day. I'll probably end up seeing in on Thanksgiving as well cause my cousin and aunt both are reading the series, and that's the next time I'll see them.

[BellaBlack]

Thats exactly why I'm waiting to see it until Thanksgiving. you see, I was thinking my HP club at my college would see HBP together if it would've gone that way BUT NOW WE CANT BECAUSE THE WB SUCKS ASS DAMNIT :mad: sorry I still get angry bursts.

[rachelfan88]

It ruined christmas!

I like your siggy Bella! =)

[BellaBlack]

thanks Mariana :)

Yeah :cussing: you WB :lol:

Okay I'm done. for now.

[Captain oats 13]

I am just trying to remind myself of the less wait time for DH... not working.

[zealousheart]

Yeah at least we'll have a brilliant next summer, I mean HBP then a few months then DH. Though watch them push back DH. I will scream.

[BellaBlack]

wasn't DH supposed to come out in 2010 and 2011?

[Manon]

Yeah there will still be a year between HBP & DH. and now they're acting like they're gods cause we dont have to wait 2 years for DH after HBP, but now we have to wait 2 years between Ootp & HBP, so really, it doesnt make any sense. And DH Is still coming out in 2010, so that didnt change, we still have to wait til 2010 to see it. They're so stupid

[Helen Weasley]

They really should start filming Deathly Hallows sooner, but as I've said before, WB just doesn't care about the fans. they just care about their business perspective.

[BellaBlack]

yeah it's all still lame as ever to me :drunk:

[Captain oats 13]

I will forgive them once I am sitting in the theater watching HBP.

[Helen Weasley]

I'll forgive them if I like what they've done with the movie...
After all, HBP is my favorite book, and I really don't want to be disapointed with the movie. If I am disapointed, they will never be forgiven.

[BellaBlack]

I'm a forgiving person in general but it'll be on hold until I say so :lol:

[Captain oats 13]

So...back to OT... I saw Wicked in Ottawa and it was AMAZING!!!

[Helen Weasley]

I've never been a fan of Wicked, but that's just me. I was unfairly forced to sign a song from it in front of school in my senior year...and I had to hear it about....fifty times a day, and I had to sign it over and over and over again...
So I have a bit of a hatred against the play.

[Manon]

I HATE YOU KRISTY! i wanna see it SO BAD, but when i was in London, no one wanted to go with me ><
have you read the book?

[Captain oats 13]

I have, but in my opinion the play is even better! The effects, the acting, the sets, the music...everything about the play was just INCREDIBLE!! I recommend it if it ever comes back.

You should give it another chance, Helen, the play really is worth it. Out of curiosity, what song did you sing?

[BellaBlack]

I've heard Wicked music and such but Idk much about the play besides art I've seen :lol: I definately would see it though, I love musicals.

[danyjoncew]

Dude, what the... ok, so, I've been noticing that everytime I think about traveling or showing someone a certain place and look for pictures, some of the results have pics of a dog in said place. I thought it was funny that dog pics would randomly show up in the results of whatever destiny I searched, but I just found out that it's actually the same dog. He's been in literally every Brazilian state, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Uruguay. WTF? This dog has traveled more than anyone I know lmao.

[Captain oats 13]

It has traveled more than me, that's for sure, but dog hasn't come here! So it hasn't visited all south america!

You should give it another chance, Helen, the play really is worth it. Out of curiosity, what song did you sing?

Defying Gravity. and it was signing, actually. Sign language...yeah. It got really annoying after the second time of hearing it. My friend and I started to sign really extravagantly, to mock it, cause we got so annoyed, and my teacher was like, "I never thought I'd say this, but you all need to be signing like Helen and Ammanda! They're showing the emotion and getting into it..." It was kinda funny, cause we were just trying to get through it the only way we know how, to make fun of it....
When it comes to musicals, I prefer things like Buffy, Hairspray, or Chicago. :) I love those musicals.

Oh okayyy!!! I adore that song but I can see how it could get annoying after awhile. God, if you sang that song I would say you must have a powerful voice cause there are some huge notes in there! :lol:

[BellaBlack]

AHHH I love Hairspray :lol:

haha on the dog Dany!

[Captain oats 13]

I've only seem the Hairspray movie and it was awesome! :)

[zealousheart]

:lol:, I have seen Hairspray every way possible- Broadway, play, movie, and I love it too. I actually got to see a movie "premiere" type thing which was amazing. A few stars were there. Chicago, I only saw the movie but I liked as well. Idk about Wicked, never saw it, but tried the book and couldn't get through it. I heard the musicals real good though.

Yay for the traveling dog!

[Captain oats 13]

Yeah, the musical is better than the book.

[Helen Weasley]

I would love to see Hairspray live. :)
Yeah, I didn't sing it...I could, seeing as I used to sing, but I don't do that stuff anymore...I'm a bit out of practice.

[Manon]

I.wanna.see.it.naaaoowwww

[Helen Weasley]

I never would've guessed with your uber letters there. :lol:

[BellaBlack]

I'd love to see any broadway play in general :lol:

[Helen Weasley]

I don't know...I think I can live without ever seeing Cats. :lol:

[BellaBlack]

Haha maybe that one I can live without seeing but the rest..well there's so many to choose from.

[Helen Weasley]

If there was a Harry Potter musical, or if the Buffy musical ever went onto Broadway, I'd totally go see those. heehee...

[Manon]

oh man, i LOVE cats. Seen it twice. So good :heart:

[zealousheart]

You gotta come to NYC Bella! :)

Since I close by I've seen a few and they've been awesome. Never Cats though :lol:. Saw RENT. Rent was good.

OT...but exciting. I drove today for the first time ever. I know all of you probably have been driving for ages and I'm old enough that I should have been as well but I kept putting it off. It was exciting. I almost ran into some geese in the middle of the road but that's another story, :lol:.

[Helen Weasley]

Fun! I love driving...I'd own my own car by now, but I tend to spend my money on books and such...I actually bought a third copy of HBP today.
Now I have it paperback, hardback, and I'm getting the deluxe edition via UPS soon. :)

[Manon]

i dont drive. i failed my exam 3 times. now im sick of it & quit

[Captain oats 13]

:lol: Poor Manon! :lol:

I am scared to drive. I have a horrible attention span, and one day I am scared that I will get distracted by something pretty and run a guy over! :lol:

:bow: Public transportation

[zealousheart]

Aw I was terrified as well but it seemed a lot less daunting when I was actually doing it. And I didn't even hit the geese that wouldn't move. I think I will fail the test as well though, I was reading all the ways you can fail and it's crazy.

And Helen, yay for HBP!

[danyjoncew]

Hee. Yeah, Mari, the dog is missing the Venezuelan love. But seriously, what the hell, I really wanna be that dog :-S. I even promise I wouldn't pee on anyone's leg.

I'm gonna be really evil right now and say I'm probably more excited about "Harry, a History" than about "The tales of Beedle the Bard"... oops. Let's sing the bards' sooong... tomooooorrow will taaaake us away, faaar from home, no one will eeeever know our naaaames... but the bards' songs will remaaaain.

[Helen Weasley]

If you don't think about it too much, it's pretty simple stuff. I passed with my first test. I kind of like walking everywhere better than driving, though. I mean, my doctor would be so disappointed in me if I stopped walking six miles a day...I'm pretty sure if I actually had a car, I wouldn't ever exercise.
What's "Harry - a history"? Is that the encyclopedia?

[danyjoncew]

Driving exams can be a total pain in the ass, not because it's difficult, but because in some places it's a like a mafia. Not only they want to take as much money out of you as they can, they also want to control and hold the number of cars in big urban centers, so every little detail counts. But even if that's the case, all you can do is take as many lessons as you need before you feel confident and calm enough to take the exam and have patience to persevere if you fail (then again, money doesn't fall from the sky, which is why I understand Manon).

HaH is Melissa's book. A look into the HP phenomenon and its history, as seen from inside the fandom and obviously with all the great contacts Melissa has, which means it has a new JKr interview and Jo even wrote some sort of prologue for it, sounds so sweet.

[Helen Weasley]

Oh, thanks! I was trying to figure out what that book was called, cause I wanted to buy it. I'm just starting to listen to Pottercast, and I've become addicted..I love Mel. She's so entertaining. Do you know when it comes out? I know it's soon, but I really wanted to get it...
See, I didn't have to worry about anyone trying to squeeze money out of me for my driving exams...I got it all free at school.

[danyjoncew]

Comes out in November :D. Amazon has it for pre-orders already, with an excerpt from Jo. Pottercast is awesome \o/, I grew tired of Mugglecast soon enough, but they are always having fun and different looks into things on Pottercast, not to mention the interviews. Still, Leaky Mug is probably the best. Until we start our podcast, obviously.

Obs: we need a new thread.
