There are several things that delight me at the moment:

1) Johnny Depp winning the SAG award for Best Actor in PotC.

2) I am so close to being done w/ my part of IYOK5.

3) These "X-Files Kids" comics, which rawk. Comic 1, 2, 3, and 4. They're by the same person who did that HP Personality thing that's been going around. I do not know how people draw. But I am in awe of such talent.

4) The cabbage_capers community, which has shared many yummy recipes for an amateur cook like me. I really recommend the Athenian dip, shrimp scampi and almond rice, and pot roast recipes. I haven't had enough time to try everything else. <g>

5) kirixchi has finished "The Pleasure of Your Company," her ongoing (well, not anymore) LJ WIP. I wish I had a link to share w/ you, but until she posts it in its entirety somewhere, the only place to find it is her LJ, I think.

6) The icon my brother made. I am not a Mac fan. Recently a friend converted to the power of the PC, and it made me so. happy.

7) This Snapeybot chat. I conversed with him as if I were Ginny.

You: Um, Professor Snape?
snapeybot: Er, Do you have any idea what I am talking about?
You: No, you haven't said anything.
snapeybot: Is that all you have to say? I think I have said anything , but the Dark Lord may have Obliviated my memory.
You: Um... anyway. I think I'm starting to develop a crush on someone I really shouldn't like.
snapeybot: Wipe that ridiculous grin off your face immediately!
You: Sorry sir. I was hoping I could get your advice on my problem. You see, I don't want to like him. My brother
would be really upset about it.
snapeybot: Why don't you show me what you have, Pest? Then I shall decide if it's worth my effort.
You: All right. It's, um, Draco Malfoy.
snapeybot: Why, what did you hear?
You: Nothing. I'm just telling you who I have inappropriate feelings for.
snapeybot: Not a thing? Only just? it is an interesting topic, isn't it.
You: Well, I like to think so.
snapeybot: Interesting. I am not sure if I would find it satisfying to do it. what is it like?
You: I haven't done anything yet. That's why I've come to you.
snapeybot: Just so long as I enjoy it, nothing else matters.
You: Okay. So would you enjoy seeing me and Draco together?
snapeybot: *Appears vaguely intrigued*
You: That's very helpful. Thanks!
snapeybot: *Eyes glint faintly.* Very well, then.
You: Bye, Professor.
snapeybot: Goodbye indeed.

Where is the pot roast recipe from cabbage_capers? Went back too look for it as I'm interested in making a yummy pot roast and missed it. Wah!

And isn't the community lovely? Every time I see the recipes up, I want to cook it right away and eat it. *sigh* Cooking takes such a long time.

And Johnny Depp winning was great! I wish I could have seen it though. :( *kicks school for not giving us cable*

Ooops, you're right, I don't think Pud has posted that to CC yet. But she did post the recipe publically, so here's all her secrets (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sarea_okelani/60960.html?thread=483104#t483104)! Or at least her pot roast recipe. <g> Every time a recipe comes through, I curse the fact that I'm (usually) at work and can do nothing about it.

I didn't actually see the awards, though I think Jade did. She was the one who told me the exciting news.

Every time a repe comes trhough, I curse the fact taht I'm (usually) at work and can do nothing about it.

Exactly! I'm just passing through as I try to read for class and bam! There's another scrumptious recipe! I should post this one Swedish Meatball recipe I just tried out...but I still need to tweak it a bit. :( Will try to find something to contribute to the yumminess.

Don't kick the school too hard -- JD wasn't actually there. :( Renee Zellweger accepted the award on his behalf.

I went in as Hermione.

You: Um, Professor, do you have a moment?
snapeybot: Er, We have never talked about it before.
You: It's just that I'm terribly worried about Harry and
Ron.
snapeybot: Who said it is?
You: I did. Just now. Harry and Ron. You see -- well,
they've gone off again, sir.
snapeybot: What are you bloody well grinning about?
You: I'm sorry, I *am* worried, really, it's just rather
funny. They've gone to visit Hagrid's brother, you see, and
the three of them have gotten lost.
snapeybot: There is no need to apologize. How long has it
been bothering you? What is your real name?
You: It's been bothering me for several minutes now.
Hermione Granger, sir, why on earth would you think I'd lied
about my name?
snapeybot: *Eyes glint faintly.* Very well, then.
You: *Eyebrows raise in return* Sometimes I just don't
understand you at all, Professor.
snapeybot: Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
You: I like Harry, Ron, and schoolwork, and dislike Malfoy.
snapeybot: that is really none of your business, now, isn't
it.
You: You're right, sir. Malfoy is none of my business.
snapeybot: I am far, far more right sir Malfoy is none of my
business than you, I assure you.
You: But don't you spend odd weekends spanking Malfoy?
snapeybot: Why, what did you hear?
You: Well, it's just that there's this story going around...
snapeybot: Wipe that ridiculous grin off your face
immediately!
You: I'm sorry! It's just a very funny story! Oh, I
shouldn't have come...
snapeybot: >: -(
You: Honestly, Professor, I'm really sorry -- don't frown
like that.... oh, wait, that's just your regular
expression... er... I guess I should be going now.
snapeybot: What are you bloody well grinning about?
You: Nothing! Nothing -- I'm just going to go. I'm sure one
of the other Gryffindors can help me find Harry and Ron.
snapeybot: What House are you in?
You: Gryffindor. Are you feeling all right, Professor?
snapeybot: *Scowls* In that case, get out of my classroom.
You: Of course. Sorry to have disturbed you. *mutters
quietly* Bloody lunatic.
snapeybot: Two hours' detention... cleaning privies with
Filch.
You: Damn it.
snapeybot: Colloquial expression.
You: Thank you.
snapeybot: Hmmm a submissive one, aren't you? I rather like
that.
You: Er -- you're rather creeping me out now, Professor.
snapeybot: *scowl*
You: Yes, bye then.
snapeybot: Goodbye indeed.

Ohmygod YOU LIE.

This cannot be a true transcript. It's too fucking good. I can't breathe.

Yes, Johnny Depp winning ROCKS. If he won the Oscars, it would help me forgive the Academy for a great many things (I mean, apart from the fact that IMHO, Mystic River is one of the most vastly overrated films of all time, Sean Penn is a schmuck. Johnny Depp actually ENTERTAINED people...and I think this shows he has a chance, since Actors are the majority of the Academy membership, etc.).

Second, YOU READ MY STORY *bouncey bounces*. I thought you had stopped a long time ago *is filled with glee* That makes me so happy I won't even bug you about TSA which, sadly, I think I have committed to the deeps.

Third, Your MAC icon is amazing. I'd love to steal it and leave it on poncelet's journal as a joke. He is forever going on about his MAC.

:D

We're in full agreement re: JD. Sean Penn winning it would highly piss me off -- overrated in the extreme. Why do idiots keep calling him the best actor of our generation?? WTF???

The only thing is that there are many, many Academy voters who do not vote for SAG (which, for an actor, would probably be considered an even more prestigious award). I am not well versed in these things, Jade could probably say more on the topic, but we know several people who have votes through ropo and they're not actors all at. And alas, one of them is convinced Master and Commander was the only movie worth voting for Best Picture this year. Honestly.

I thought you had stopped a long time ago

:O!! Of course I read it. You're so silly. I think I left feedback for you not two installments ago. However, I have been remiss at leaving feedback for the whole thing, so let me say that it was a highly enjoyable ride, start to finish. I imagine it's really hard to post regularly and keep things interesting enough each installment to make it worth the effort, as well as having to keep the plot going and the romance compelling. You did it somehow, and what a lovely story it turned out to be. : ) I don't think I could write something every day. That would be a great goal, but ... yeah, don't see it happening. <g> Perhaps I should test these limits of mine. But as you've pointed out, I have long-neglected projects to attend to, so that probably shouldn't be something to think about. As for TSA, it's been six freaking months, so I feel like I've committed it to the depths, too. It's so depressing.

Ha, you're welcome to use the Mac icon. Brother's LJ name is sumdumgai, which pretty much accurately sums him up. :D Haha, actually he's one of those techhead-type Angry Young Men. Either way, I give you leave to steal his icon.

Mmmm, I like snogging Draco silly...but I digress.

THANKS for posting a link to Cabbage Capers!! I'm a wannabe cook, and this is perfect for me. And to chrismiss, where were you with your Swedish meatball recipe last week when I really, really needed it??!!

*hugs*

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeeee, another would-be cook! The community's been great so far. There are so many recipes there's no way I'll be able to get to them all, but I think it'll also come in handy when/if I ever need a recipe for something specific. Surely someone will be able to come through!

[acciopotter.livejournal.com]

How fun! I definitely want to try some of these. Wheee!!
