The TransGalactic Bus Station--Free Snack Cakes and AOL Start-Up CD-ROMS.

I killed the thread again.

 

You didn't kill the board, it's just sleeping.

 

Shh, you'll wake the board. And as we all know "Never tickle a sleeping dragon"! this board is as dragon-ish as they come!

I'm still here if someone wants to shout random things at me.

 

Hogwarts Hogwarts Hoggy Warty Hogwarts!

 

I used to know that entire song by heart, and sing it randomly whenever I thought maths was getting too boring. I'm very lucky that my friends like me.

I know the beginning of the song because I'm writing a HHr fanfic at fanfic.net
I should probably start writing it again. It's being a long hiatus.

 

Harmonizer?

Actually, I don't mind. Some of the best works of fanfiction I've read (in any fandom) use ships that I don't like, yet they are attractive anyway.

launch missiles at the Good Ship!
Fuego!

 

I love AUs where the main characters lose everything and then time travel/go to parallel universe to end up with a different girl.

 

I love AUs, period. It is fascinating to see how one little change (or sometimes, a big one) can have huge effects. Btw, the Good Ship is way more armed than we'll ever need - with ANVILS.

*taps sleeping dragon*

Are you awake?

 

You're not going to feed them to pelicans, are you? [It was something I saw on TV the other night.]

Why would you be filling a cannon? You're not going to use it on any of us, are you?

"No, now go away!"



And this thread isn't dead yet, though it probably will be sometime today or tomorrow. [And double-posting will only hasten that.]

EDIT: Typing of the end of the thread, what's everyone's favorite memory of the time here? I remember when we all went out for ice cream and Billy said he was lactose intolerant, so to be mean we dumped the bucket of rocky road on his head, and he exploded! 'Kay, bye.*


EDIT 2: One of my favorite movie quotes -- "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!" (Carry on Cleo) -- topped a UK poll of comedy lines. [There were two Groucho lines in the top ten, but they weren't from among of my favorite Marx Brothers' quotes.]

EDIT 3: Has that line ever been used in a quote challenge here? I've used it in Buffy and Doctor Who drabbles, but not Star Wars.

EDIT 4: 9888 looks like a neat number, doesn't it? And it breaks down into five 2s, a 3, and a 103.

EDIT 5: Remember, kiddies, when you're responding to a post in this thread (or any other), only quote the relevant portion and cut out the rest.

EDIT: My favorite HP pairing is Mr. and Mrs. Sorting Hat. The story of how they met at the Royal Ascot is so touching.







*I'm not sure why I started sounding like Randy Beaman's friend Colin there. Well, yes I am.

 

Morning all!

Bleeding walls, huh?

Seriously though, I eagerly await the arrival of these 'awards' I got my lists half done already.

 

GK66: I've gotten most of mine done... no best author yet! Isn't that the one that should come easiest... and best all around.

Maybe I need some more coffee but I'm glad I didn't put this off to the last second.

I'm just excited- this is the first year I'm going to vote... and I've itched to for ages!

 

Oh, them Awards.
I was wondering about them. Voted on them twice already, but I can't say I missed them much. *shrugs* There seemed to be so much drama always. Probaly the reason the walls bled, too, the blood of uncarefull useres....
I won't start on my list until the thread for stuff is opened. I only fill in half of he categories anyway...

General comment: A short story I thought would be a only few pages has now reached 16 and I'm only about half through. Does it happen to you, too?

 

Have you tried calamine lotion?

Not really. If anything, the problem I've had, drabbles aside, when going for a particular length is that I'll get everything typed out, and it'll still be short. Like if I were writing a round-robin chapter, aiming for somewhere between 2000 and 5000 words, I'd finish it and have around 1500. I didn't leave out anything I'd wanted to put in, but it'd still be short. But I don't think any moderator ever had a problem with it.

 

I'm glad that I didn't put if off as well. I have so much trouble deciding, since I've read quite a bit of stuff. And 'Best Author' has been the toughest for me by far--How can I choose? I definitely need some coffee


I'm really excited about the whole thing--I probably need some Calamine Lotion too

Same here; I used to read constantly, but that urge depleted a bit when I joined I've gotten back into it recently though

 

Actually, I did break out in hives yesterday

Actually, I was referring to the fact hat I lurked for years and wanted to vote on my favorite stories. The irony was that, when I joined, I stopped reading so much!

Edit: What's got me stumped is best newbie... besides digging through everyone's bio's, what am I to do?!

 

I had to break out of a hive once or else the bee people were going to feed me to their queen.

EDIT: You never did respond to my question about the cannon. You are going to use it on me, aren't you?

 

Drabba: I would, but I hate loud noises.

Speaking of cannons... I had a friend in highschool who, for a presentation for her class, carried around a cannon shell from the Civil War in her purse. That was the heaviest purse I've ever carried.

 

Man, I couldn't have carried that around all day She got a good workout, I'm sure

 

No, we were all playing "Look at What I Have in My Purse" and she pulls out a cannon shell. It was a great moment

 

Speaking of cannons.

When I was in highschool we played the 1812 overture. Our conductor had the technical engineering class build us cannons for the piece, one was a big one we added on the last note. When we preformed it, the ball that was used to cover the cannon to make it work flew to the back of the auditorium and punched a hole in the wall right below the tech crew box.

I understand they all ducked when they saw it coming their way.

 

Good morning all. how goes it. I think after 10 days, I finally learning to live with sleep depravation. I can't say it terrible, because the little Jedi only wakes up once per night. some I'm getting two halves, 3 and 3.
