haha oh roller rinks! hey happy belated bday deary....hope it was a good one!!!! when are we all having cuddletime? i think that's what should be incorporated...no more potluck....it's cuddletime!
So just when I thought we had exhausted our 6 degrees of separation options, lo and behold I find out we both are friends with Logan Allin. (Thanks facebook). So he says he knows you from school, but that doesn't make sense because he lived in Burr Ridge and you lived in Naperville so how could have y'all been classmates? Please clarify :)
well hey there:) and yes i know she did rock them pretty hard..sorry its taken so long for me to respond. i guess i've needed time figure out what i was going to say in response to that insane comment you left me at 4 in the morning?!
hope all is well though and much loveee, oh and isnt your birthday coming up?? aka trace and lauren coming down for dinner..cake in the face?..i think so:)
So... how would you feel about getting re-involved with Snowball again this fall? I've been thinking about doing it again (; and being an adult staff member, even if I don't feel much like an adult :), but in order to do that I have to participate in another one. Any-who, I contacted Spike (who coincidentally shares Emerson as a middle name) and the fall snowball this year marks the 50th anniversary of the weekend. Wouldn't it be fun to go on it again?? He promised to pass information along to me... and I thought what is Snowball without Trace? I mean SERIOUSLY... I could use my warm fuzzy buddy. I believe he said it was Nov 2-4. Can you make it? PLEASE?!?
Although I think you and Peter both make excellent HP points, I seem to focus on only one thing: When is Sirius coming back???? I miss him! Is there any proof that he might come back so Gary Oldman can continue playing him? Sigh. I have issues- although you boys may have more. Been thinking about you- hope all is well, Peter and I will be around the 3rd-8th, maybe we can get together??
i notice a striking similarity between you and tits magee... thanks for the bday wishes. gaffigan's beyond pale. he and conan team up to create the pale force; they blind villains with their paleness! good stuff.
Wow- i think you're definitely on to something! You're right about the items/artificats needed to "cast a circle" in anciet druidic or wiccan rituals- there is a Sword (usually fire- bravery/strength, Gryffindor), a Cup (water, peacefulness a passion), a Stone of sometype-easily a locket (Earth, power and riches), and a Wand or Staff (air, intelligence)! These would easily have been the same item used by 4 ancient wizards, plus even what they saw as valuable represent the four different elemental corners/directions. Even some of the animals used in their house banners fall into this symbology (air-raven, earth-snake, the other two not as much, but they represent the general idea). So many pieces are falling into place!
