Bit of Ivory

After resolving some issues between Harry and Ginny (my computers, not the characters ), the day went pretty well. I went to lunch with Joesther and Katmorning. I’ve met Jo before, but it was the first time I’d met Kat. They are both very nice. It was quite funny– Jo had taken out her copy of OotP, and the waitress looked at it and said “Have you finished it yet?” We all looked at each other for a minute before answering “You have no idea.” Every time she came back we talked HP. The highlight of the meal was when we asked her who she thought would get together romance-wise. “Ron and Hermione,” she said immediately. We all let out a whoop, and then I couldn’t help but ask “And what about Harry?”

“Harry and Ginny.”

We got a lot of strange looks after our reaction to that. And I must say, we all left a really nice tip. Tipping for shipping, we decided.

After lunch, I drove over to BYU campus and got our t-shirts ordered. I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to pick them up, but they are going to look awesome. I had to explain their purpose to the guy behind the counter, of course. He got a good laugh once he realized what they were, exactly.

I have 8-9 minutes to speak in my other panel, so I really need to write that. Hopefully I’ll be able to get both that and my debate opening statement written. Then I’ll have time to make more icons. Seviet, can I request a nice H/G pic?

Take a look at how obsessed I am with Sexy Pirate Boy:

Session Start (Yahoo! – wahlee_98:anguaorc): Fri Jul 11 23:23:25 2003

anguaorc: YESSSSSS.
anguaorc: Too many clothes, though.
wahlee_98:

wahlee_98: although those are pretty good too.
wahlee_98: yes.
wahlee_98: need to see it again.
wahlee_98: to hear the *voice*
anguaorc: Yeah, me too!
anguaorc: Can’t wait to go on the ride next week!
wahlee_98: we should skip out on the FAP birthday party and see Pirates again.
anguaorc: Yeah!
(snip slight digression in form of discussion of the ride)

anguaorc: I voted the movie a 10 at imdb.
wahlee_98:
wahlee_98: good for you.
anguaorc: (probably only deserves a 9, but it gets that extra point for Orlando Bloom
anguaorc: And his voice.
wahlee_98: and his loox of longing.
anguaorc: Really!
wahlee_98: which are SOO BEAUTIFUL.
wahlee_98: we haven’t seen those before.
anguaorc: They ARE!
wahlee_98: Legolas doesn’t do the smitten thing ever.
anguaorc: No, although I did see a Sad!Legolas look.
wahlee_98: yeah.
anguaorc: Which is nice!
wahlee_98: the icon is almost that.
anguaorc: Yeah, but different.
wahlee_98: and Selfless!Orlando is nummy too.
anguaorc: Ooh yes!
wahlee_98: I’llkillmyself!Orlando. . .MMMMMMmmmmm
anguaorc: I really liked HopelessLonging!Orlando at the very beginning.
wahlee_98: yes.
wahlee_98: mmmmmmmmmmmm
anguaorc: mmmmmm.
wahlee_98: and KIXbutt!Orlando in the blacksmith shop
anguaorc: YES!
wahlee_98: and Nervous!Orlando in the Pirate’s city. . .(can’t remember name)
anguaorc: Tortuga?
wahlee_98: yeah.
wahlee_98: and Painridden!Orlando when found out about his dad. . .
wahlee_98: (both times)
anguaorc: Yep.
wahlee_98: wet!Orlando is still good.
anguaorc: Yes… And Exasperated-at-Jack!Orlando.
wahlee_98:
wahlee_98: yes.
wahlee_98: and imitating-Jack!Orlando.
anguaorc: :)))

wahlee_98:
anguaorc: Yes! Noble!Orlando!!!
wahlee_98: *swoons*
wahlee_98: loyal!Orlando
wahlee_98: did you stay till the very end?
anguaorc: Exchanging-knowing-looks-with-Jack!Orlando…
wahlee_98:

wahlee_98: yes!
wahlee_98: sorry!
anguaorc: Waaaaaah!
wahlee_98: forgot to tell you!
anguaorc: Must see again!!!
wahlee_98: no Orlando.
anguaorc: All Your Fault!
wahlee_98: but opening for sequel.
anguaorc: What?
wahlee_98: nice, big opening for sequel.
anguaorc: Ooooh.
wahlee_98: which *must* have original cast or I’m not going to see it.
anguaorc: Of course!
wahlee_98: absence of either Johnny Depp or Sexy Pirate Boy would make movie pointless.
anguaorc: Completely!
(snip slight diversion talking about Johnny Depp)

wahlee_98: Argh. . .
wahlee_98: I really need to go to bed.
wahlee_98: (argh)
anguaorc: Yes, it’s late!
wahlee_98: then off to bed with you too, you scalawag!
anguaorc: Must LOOX at web pictures a little more.
wahlee_98: my sisters apparently found a site that’s the motherlode for SPB pix.
wahlee_98: just a sec. . .let me find out what it is.

(here Emily switched from Trillian to actual Yahoo! to get file, so format is different for archive)

wahlee_98 (12:05:15 AM): YUUUUUUUUM
anguaorc (12:05:21 AM): You like it?
wahlee_98 (12:05:30 AM): *is puddle of goo*

wahlee_98 (12:06:48 AM): Argh. That pic is just too yummy.

And again:

Session Start (Yahoo! – wahlee_98:anguaorc): Sun Jul 13 22:27:00 2003
(snip talking about Debate Thread developments)

wahlee_98: lovely.
wahlee_98: *pops popcorn and leans back to watch the show*
anguaorc:
wahlee_98: almost as good as Suffering!Sexy-Pirate-Boy.
anguaorc: No way!
wahlee_98: (have decided that he’s my favorite)
wahlee_98: the look on his face as he’s finding out about his father’s fate. . .
wahlee_98: *whimpers*
anguaorc: no fair – you’ve seen it twice!
wahlee_98: want to see it again!
wahlee_98: in the near future.
anguaorc: I doubt I can before Wednesday.
wahlee_98: yeah, me neither.

(snip grumbling about DT)

wahlee_98: reminds me of Pirates.
wahlee_98: “at least once more, Miss Swann. As always”
wahlee_98: *swoons*
anguaorc: SWOON!
anguaorc: That might have been MY favorite Orlando bit of all.
wahlee_98: I love the whole thing.

(snip grumbling about FAP)

wahlee_98: you’re going to think I’m REALLY weird. . .
anguaorc: Oh, I do already!
wahlee_98: but my fav. Orli moment is when he’s struggling against the pirates. . .
anguaorc: Which time?
wahlee_98: trying to keep Eliz. from walking the plank.
anguaorc: Awwwwwww.
anguaorc: It’s nice to see him vulnerable, for a change.
wahlee_98: yes.
wahlee_98: poor Orli,
anguaorc: Not all perfect elf-locks and archery.
wahlee_98: bound and gagged.
anguaorc: Gagged is bad.
anguaorc: (covers up part of face)
wahlee_98:
wahlee_98: at least is v. thin gag.
anguaorc:
anguaorc: The movie people aren’t dummies.
wahlee_98: although that’s not what *I’d* like to do w/ his mouth.
anguaorc:
wahlee_98: yes, must say I like vulnerable!Orlando.
wahlee_98: which is a corollary to suffering!Orlando

(snip more bellachying about FAP, which was acting up)

wahlee_98: I’m really quite good at SNARX.
wahlee_98: (is my one great talent)
anguaorc: And a fine one it is!
wahlee_98: well, that and making nummy icons.
wahlee_98: want to make one of this pic too:
wahlee_98: http://www.theorlandobloomfiles.com/pictures/movie/pirates/pirates18.jpg
wahlee_98: but haven’t thought of good caption for it.
anguaorc: Hmmm.
anguaorc: *thinxing*
wahlee_98: look at the beautiful EYES.
wahlee_98: *swoons again*
anguaorc: I saw a great one with Johnny Depp and a quote from the movie.
wahlee_98: Savvy?
wahlee_98: how about “Pretty. . .savvy?”
anguaorc: Hmmm.
wahlee_98: nah.
wahlee_98: is better for Jack icon.
wahlee_98: well. . .not “pretty” in his case.
wahlee_98: although my sisters think he’s pretty hot.
anguaorc: He’s well enough.
anguaorc: My mind is blank.
wahlee_98: how about “Swoon-worthy” ?
anguaorc: How about “There’s absolutely nothing sexually threatening about an elf”?
wahlee_98:
anguaorc: Hungry eyes? :p
anguaorc: “All mine”?
wahlee_98: I wish. . . .
wahlee_98: how ’bout “Errol Flynn’s got nothing on this pirate”
anguaorc: Oooh!
wahlee_98: (though am quite taken w/ Errol Flynn as well)
anguaorc: Yeah, he’s lovely.
wahlee_98: “Errol Flynn wishes he were this sexy”
wahlee_98: “Errol . . .my goatee’s cuter than yours”
anguaorc: :))
wahlee_98: *curses Angua for getting “Hungry Eyes” in her head*
anguaorc:
anguaorc: Is Orli’s fault.
anguaorc: Or… Peter Jackson’s.
wahlee_98:
wahlee_98: yes, is all PJ’s fault.
wahlee_98: remind me to give him my first million as a thank you.
