I love your attempts at translating what we were saying, Queen Susan! Do you really not know any Spanish? I have a llama named Sonny? LOL!

LOL, no, not really. I know a few basic things--like the words for English, Spanish, comprehend, etc. I was guessing at pretty much everything, gathering up from one or two words that I knew what you MIGHT be saying. Haha. I was right on the second generation thing, though I didn't know the word for Scottish.
Haha, anyway. It was pretty funny to try. Though some of the stuff I wrote out I knew was dead wrong. Like the llama one.

Mortereve!

Our power is out right now but thankfully we have a generator. We've had a billion gallons of water dumped on us since yesterday so I'm pretty wary about those flood watches...

QS: yes he sings "Wonderin'". It's one of the best songs on the album in my extremely biased opinion . Lol, you're way off on some of them but pretty close on others (concering the Spanish )

Wow, everyone's translating our Spanish conversation all of a sudden! Good thing we weren't saying anything private!

Lol I know!

(Es divertido que todos traduce que decimos, ahora.)

lol sí

Me gusta Rosetta Stone. Yo lo uso para ayudar con mi escritura en español. Sí, usted hace excelentemente. Sí mi mamá habló en su mayor parte español. Mi padre estaba en la Guardia Costera cuando era más joven y por lo tanto estaba fuera mucho. Así que mi mamá me hablaba, y aún lo hace, en español. Es por eso que yo sabía que en primer lugar.

I have to get ready for bed now b/c my dad is going to turn off the generator.

TTFN

*enters the square with a cold and a sore throat*

So, I feel wretched this morning. My mom is beginning to think that I have strep (is that how you spell it?) But! I started this post last night and I'm determined to finish it!!

EDIT: I just realized that it's been exactly one year and six days since I joined the NarniaWeb forums!

@ Ruby. Sounds about normal then. Same here. Just doing the usual stuff mostly.

Ruby: Oooh I love that song . I haven't been up to much, mainly school and shoveling . How bout you?

*waves to Princess Anna* Lol, a lot of times I'm too behind and too lazy to bother with catch up, so I just drop in to say hi. I hope everything's been going well and glad to see you on the square!!

*waves to peterpevensie* Were we properly introduced? I don't remember...but I'll say hi to you anyway. Good to see you on the square! You really must stop by more often.

Dani: True,and at least I didn't have to drive. I actually recognized Mike's shirt at the show,but I didn't say anything because once again, I was being teased because of my TAN obsession. *sighs* But I didn't care as much about that. One of my friends asked me which one I had a crush on. I said,"Well,they're all married. But I don't know about Ruben. So,I don't have a crush on any of them." But then she wouldn't stop teasing me about Ruben(who,I discovered,has a girlfriend). Oh,and when I was talking to Mike,he told me that they were going on tour again in the fall for their new cd!

Aw man! Some of my friends do that to me too...not fun. Teenagers these days just don't understand what the difference between an honest admiration and fangurly crush is!!!

Oooh!!! I hope I get to see them on their next tour! I am soo looking forward to their newest album.

What's your new av and sig about?

It's from the BBC show Doctor Who. My sister made this set from a screen cap taken from a trailer of series five (The eleventh doctor, hence number 11) which isn't airing until March. I can't wait to see it!! And then the next series of Merlin comes out in the fall...right? Well, I'm excited about it, whenever it's coming out.

I hope they do more of Morgana in the next series, because they sort of have been avoiding her and only bringing her in at convenient times within the second series. My favorite character, though, has always been Arthur...and Merlin. They're such hilarious friends!!

Indeed we do. But now we need something new to disagree on.

Lol, nothing immediately comes to mind, but I'll be thinking on it. Any suggestions?
(by the way, how is life these days?)

*waves to Queen Susan* Good morning to you!! How has life been these days??

Well, I think that's that. I'm finished for now. *reaches for kleenex*

Time for a cup of hot tea, some home work, and then hopefully I'll have time for a nap before I have to leave for class.

God bless!

Mortereve all!!

All that beautiful snow we had vanished in one day.

;)) LOL, no, not really. I know a few basic things--like the words for English, Spanish, comprehend, etc. I was guessing at pretty much everything, gathering up from one or two words that I knew what you MIGHT be saying. Haha. I was right on the second generation thing, though I didn't know the word for Scottish.
Haha, anyway. It was pretty funny to try. Though some of the stuff I wrote out I knew was dead wrong. Like the llama one.

I figured you at least knew some basic things. Seriously, some parts of it were very accurate! So far, I've been able to understand everything Ali's said, except I did have to look up the word for Scottish.
Yeah, and the part about her dad taking a Spanish class at 15 and failing miserably.

Me gusta Rosetta Stone. Yo lo uso para ayudar con mi escritura en español. Sí, usted hace excelentemente. Sí mi mamá habló en su mayor parte español. Mi padre estaba en la Guardia Costera cuando era más joven y por lo tanto estaba fuera mucho. Así que mi mamá me hablaba, y aún lo hace, en español. Es por eso que yo sabía que en primer lugar.

Cada vez, es más difícil comprender que dices.
Gracias, sé bastante.
¿Usas Rosetta Stone? Bueno, pienso que es mejor para la gente que ya sabe un poco español (o mucho).
Ah, entiendo ahora; esa tiene sentido.

Lol, nothing immediately comes to mind, but I'll be thinking on it. Any suggestions?
(by the way, how is life these days?)

Yes, think long and hard about it.
(Fine, but rather dull without an argument... er... debate.)

I'm off. Mortereve all!

*Comes in wondering why he did not get an email notifing that someone had written on Town Square* Odd indeed ahh well all's well that ends well........

Good Morning all you Onions! How's it going for you all? (That's a question and usually people answer questions )

Well I bit of Catch Up...

So instead of snow coming down in torrents, we have rain. All the new fluffy snow is now slush. Hey at least it will melt fast...hopefully

Well it looks like you will be getting the mud soon, that you wanted

Ben: I'm glad you liked AG! It's an amazing movie, isn't it ? So inspiring and the actors are great and the story (pun intended ) is amazing!

TTFN

Great Movie indeed! And very inspiring! And I did love the actors and the story!
what do you mean by pun intended?;))

That's cool! I'm glad the trip went well. I've never been to Florida before. I hope the move goes alright and everything gets finished. Moves can be very stressful and usually are...

Thanks Ruby! I hope it does not get too stressful

*Waves to Micah*

Gooood mortereve all!!

I have returned to do a ketchup post. *finds her last post* Ah, good! Y'all didn't post too much while I was gone.

Yeah it is a really good episode! Yes! I love the show! I just finished "We are Robin Hood" Its kind of sad but sweet at the same time if you know what I mean... Btw is that the last one on Season 2? And is season 3 any good? I have not seen any of those yet, I thought that "We are Robin Hood" was the 3rd season but then now I know its season 2...

Mmm hmm, I know what you mean. Yes, "We Are Robin Hood" is the last episode in season two. I've seen season 3 and I didn't like it very much. It isn't NEAR as good as the first two seasons, and I wouldn't recommend watching it.

Yeah I went to Florida for a couple weeks and that was so much fun! We might actually be moving back there sometime this year, I would really like that! ...............Anyway yes Life has been treating me pretty well.

How neat that you might be moving to Florida sometime this year! It's good to hear that things are going well.

Oh! *smacks forehead* I forgot to welcome Glenstorm the Great to the Square. So sorry! Anyway, welcome to the Square!

Djaq, great to see you back. (Hey, that rhymes!)

Thanks! Ah, you are quite the poet. The same is to be said for you. It's lovely to have you posting more regularly in here!

So cool about you taking mandolin lessons with flambeau and your brother. I gather you're enjoying them?

Yes, I am enjoying them immensely! Our teacher is a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor, so that makes it doubly fun.

Now, that is quite the ketchup post!

Thank you! It took a while to type up.

It's a shame Apolo Ohno didn't win gold. But, to his credit, after he slipped and fell into last place, he still came back and beat both Canadians for the bronze. I'd be embarrassed to be those Canadians skaters.

Yes, I was hoping that he would win the gold, but he did do a fantastic job coming back for the bronze!

Just very perceptive! Or it was a lucky guess... Indeed you do!

Yes, yes. Let's just go with a lucky guess. *is privileged* (kidding!)

Why, thank you!
"Keep going."

Most welcome!
*mutters* "This is stupid. Baron."

"Then let's have it out right here!" NT2. Exactly.

"Does the term "cruel and unusual punishment" mean anything to you??" Remember the Titans. Does that fit well enough?

It's not your fault. Although... when you post it's like catching up on about 5 posts.

Feast or famine.

It can't be I!

It could be no other.

*Sigh* It is tragic, isn't it?

It is indeed.

Really, that's weird? I can't imagine where you might have seen it. Unless, another mod mentioned it? Or Ruby said it accidently? Or you used to process of elimination based on a comment I made in the names thread? (I highly doubt the last one, I merely mentioned it was in someone's list, but misspelled.)

I think I saw it on Ruby's blog quite a while ago and guessed that it was you, and have since confirmed it. . .

I've been pretty good! A bit tired lately (need to get to bed earlier). How about you?
Thank you so much for your prayers! My sister was supposed to leave Sunday, but due to bad weather, she's leaving tomorrow instead.

Mmm, I know what you mean about needing to get to bed earlier. I stay up too late as well.
I'm doing really good, thanks! Not much going on in my area.
Aha, I see. Has she moved out now? How have things been without her?

Yeah, I'm hoping things will settle down a little soon. Though I fear my hopes are in vain, because in Rhetoric class we have a final oral presentation coming up and I have a historical speech I have to memorize (I don't even know what speech I want to do yet! Any suggestions? It has to be four minutes long, at least). How about you? How's school going?

Oh, dear! Have you thought of a speech yet? I'm afraid that I can't come up with any.
My school has been going good. Math has been giving me some trouble lately, but I'm working through it (literally).

The song "Dental Care" makes me laugh!!

Me too! It's so random but cute.

*gasps* Djaq has returned! Ahh...you helped out with your sister's kids and...hula-hooped? Interesting.

Hey, Lucy! Yep! More of the helping and less of the hula-hooping though. My nieces just got three hula-hoops and all of the kids were playing with them so I tried as well. . . I finally did get the hang of it. (but, I'm sure I looked rather strange)

Haha, yeah, my sister and I chat together sometimes in the chatroom too.

It's fun, isn't it? I'm sure our inside jokes confuse some of the other people though.

DJAQ!!!!! It's soooo good to see you around here again!!

*Hello miss Djaq! Long time, no speak! I trust you and Flam are well? By the way, Congrats on being MotW! *

Heya, Cor!! Thanks for the welcome back!

Hello there, Vern! Yes, it has been quite some time since we have spoken. Flam and I are both doing very well, thank you! Oh, thank you muchly for the congrats as well! I had a lot of fun with it.

Umm, I have no idea.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I'll be sure to let you know. I might have to get on youtube to watch an episode or two. Is it anything like "Legend of the Seeker"?

There are some episodes (I think maybe the whole first season) on YouTube. . .I think the person's channel is called "MerlinJunkie".
I have no idea if it's like that; I've never seen "Legend of the Seeker".

Eeh, sorry to hear you were sick, but glad to hear you are all well now!

Thank you!

Quite welcome, Djaq! Most of the food was for Wren's birthday. *kidding!*

Right, of course. Someone reaching a four-digit post count really is nothing to a birthday, so I don't mind.

On mentioning my post count being higher than yours: What else and I'm suppose to do?

I don't know; you tell me.

Very muchly welcomed! Ah yes, I think I still have that avvie, BTW. Speaking of avvies, I'll be getting in-touch with you soon about a new avvie request.

Aha, really? I still have it too. I rather liked the way it turned out. You have asked me about a new avvie by now, and I'll be sending you the other one sometime today, hopefully.

*amazed at the length of Djaq's post and at the number of times she quoted him *

Was it that shocking?

*pops out from behind a tree*
"This, my friends, is an ambush!"

*draws her sword and stands behind Allan--er, flam*

*has already met Oscar so skims over that part*

No, you don't. You're a opossum, remember?

Oh, dear! Not that again.

I don't recall there being a Rizzo line after that. However, I haven't seen the movie in ages, so don't go by me.

Ah, well.

I absolutely love that note!!
Yay! I think we finished the song! What one do we want to do next?

Ditto!
Um, you pick.

I can claim a faulty memory, right?

No.

You called?

Sorry! Wrong number. *hangs up and is slightly embarrassed*

I'm so sorry that I missed Rosa's birthday!! I saw it on the front page but was never able to send a message or post in here.
I hope that you had a wonderful day!!

And it's great to see you around again too, Djag!

How have you been lately?

Lazarus just recovered this post for me!

And I missed pogginfan's birthday too!! I hope your day was extra special and wonderfully blessed!

*is currently listening to Djaq playing along to Kat's version of 'By Your Side' on the mandolin* Quite good!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

*waves to Anna*!

Good to see you stop by the Square, PP!

Hello,Djaq! It's lovely to see you as well. How are you?

I'm doing very good, thanks! How have you been?

So DJ, have you been enjoying "Mod of the Week"? Glad to be finished soon?

Yes, I did enjoy it a lot! But, I am glad to be finished. 600 questions was a good number to stop with, I think.

*is having fun reading through the Spanish conversations (and attempts at translation )*

I believe that is all for me.

Mort'reve all!

~Djaq

Mmm hmm, I know what you mean. Yes, "We Are Robin Hood" is the last episode in season two. I've seen season 3 and I didn't like it very much. It isn't NEAR as good as the first two seasons, and I wouldn't recommend watching it.

I started watching season one again If I get the chance I might watch a episode or two but otherwise I think I'll stick to Season 1 and 2

How neat that you might be moving to Florida sometime this year! It's good to hear that things are going well.

Very neat indeed! Thanks!

-Benjamin

*enters the square bearing her precious box of kleenexes*

I'm sure this is the second cold that I've got this winter. I hate colds. I hate being tired/sick, but not sick enough to just quit school and sleep...*sigh*

Anyway, a bit of catch up to cheer me up...

Yes, think long and hard about it.
(Fine, but rather dull without an argument... er... debate.)

Oh! I have a good one! What do you think about the environment? Do you think we're abusing it? Do you think we aren't taking extreme enough measures to help it? I hope this is an interesting one...if it's not, just holler.

(Lol, is your life that dull without me? I don't blame you. Arguments are always exciting--I mean debates.)

Thanks Ruby! I hope it does not get too stressful

You're welcome. Let me know how it turns out.

Mmm, I know what you mean about needing to get to bed earlier. I stay up too late as well.
I'm doing really good, thanks! Not much going on in my area.
Aha, I see. Has she moved out now? How have things been without her?

Sometimes staying up late just can't be helped, like when heaps of home work call.
My sister has yet to move out. She's been backed up by bad weather and traveling details. But if all turns out she should be gone in a couple days. I'm actually glad that she's gotten to stay a little longer with us. She usually makes graphics for The Lions Call forum, but she made a few graphic sets for me in the right size for the NW forums.

Oh, dear! Have you thought of a speech yet? I'm afraid that I can't come up with any.
My school has been going good. Math has been giving me some trouble lately, but I'm working through it (literally).

I have a few ideas, but I can't settle on one. See, I don't read historical speeches that much other than for school and so it's not like I have a favorite or something...but I would like to find an interesting one.
Math gives me trouble too. It's probably the subject I struggle the most with. Lol, I have to literally work through mine too...

Me too! It's so random but cute.

A lot of Owl City's songs are like that. Random, very clever, very cheerful, and so cute!! (not to mention brilliant )

Oh, and I'll say this one more time (though I've probably already said it several times already)...congrats to both you and flam for being mods of the week(s)!!

Aaaand! That's all!

See y'all later! God bless!

Mortereve, all!

I'm feeling rather intimidated by the 12 pages of catchup waiting for me, but I guess with skimming benefits I'm better off and rather more cowardly than the people who brave 30 pages and do it all without much skimming. *sigh*
On the bright side, I have a mouse attached to the laptop (even though the dear thing is being very laggy), and I do admit that it's an Apple mouse, but not ashamedly, as it is rather round and cute... BUT, I still am ever faithful to Windows!

What have I been up to? School, crocheting, reading, blogging...nothing out of the ordinary.

And without much further ado... catchup! *settles down with a generous slice of Boston Creme Pie and begins*

Ruby: Glad you've been doing well! Oh, haha, how are the three instruments going? (What instruments are they, may I ask? )
Yes, definitely. I'm thoroughly sick and tired of all this snow, and everything and as March comes, I hope that we'll have an early spring! Sadly, there's quite a lot of frost around, so I can't get to gardening until late after... But planning in the wait is always fun!
I've been doing good, thanks! Nothing quite so interesting happening, except for the large amount of snow we've been having but thank goodness it's melting finally. ^^ And, also, the spring session of my acting class is after next week, and it's going to be a fun session out of them all.

Thanks! It's good to see you too! It's a shame we don't talk more these days on facebook. Whatever happened to us doing that? Hmm?
About my book: Thanks!! (and I KNOW you've seen my status messages about it. haha!) I hope to tell you some more about it, sometime soon!

Yes, it is! I'm sorry, yes, we haven't been able to talk on facebook-- right after Christmas and all, school and testings get really time-consuming, but indeed, we must make a point to chat on there!
Hee, yes I have, and it sounds like you're doing wonderfully and having a great time writing. (How neat that you have an idea of how to start a second book! ) I had recently stopped by Storytellers and I really liked what I read.

Ohhhh! Have FUN! Don't fall through the ice, dearie! And I wanna hear about the adventure, once you get back!
(and by the by, I know I procrastinate. and not just with the Square... with LOTS of stuff )

Thanks, I did! (have fun, not fall through the ice, of course. ) It was a fun shkating adventure for the most part, and nice and warm with my m**f and scarf, although the m**f proved inconvenient when I flew over and couldn't hold up my hands to stop. ...
Me too, dear, me too! I think it should be a late New Years resolution for me to fix that problem...

Cor: [spoiler=]Ah, thank-you for the explanation! I haven't seen other plays or movies with Rex Harrison in them, but he is a splendid actor.

Bella!!! So good to see you on here.

What instruments am I playing right now? Well, I'm mainly working on piano and I'm trying to clean of the rust on my *cough* violin skills and then I hope to start viola soon (very soon ). Viola looks like so much fun.

Oh, I am so sick of all this cold weather too. Worst part is, the sunshine is being deceptive right now. It'll shine clear and beautiful in the mornings and then by the afternoon it'll be all gray and dull again. I'm so ready for spring.

Snow is always exciting, but as you surely know, it becomes very tiring after a while.

Acting classes? That sounds like a lot of fun!! I've always wanted to take acting classes (I seriously need them, lol). Well, it's good to hear from you and it's great to know that you're doing well despite the snow and cold.

God bless!

Mortereve all!!

How is everyone on this fine......and cold mortereve?

I've been good. I went and laid down for a minute this afternoon and woke up just a few minutes ago. Didn't know I was that tired.

I agree with y'all it is way to cold. It did snow here the other day, but nothing amounting to much. Ruby, I can't say that I've ever been sick of snow, but that said I've never seen over an inch of it either.

Wow that was some post Bella.

This thread has been very slow this year.....well, ever since we've started it actually.

Well, enough of my useless rambling. Wasn't even that interesting if you ask me. I'm kinda out of it tonight. Not really looking forward to getting up early tomorrow.

*Cor and Vern enter the Square discussing tonight's dinner*

Mortereve all! Well, tonight I made homemade pizza! As always, it was delicious (hey, I can brag on my own cooking if I want too).

*And this time it's actually the truth. I still can't believe you made half a dozen pizzas tonight, Cor. *

Well, I had some help from the Royal kitchen. Just don't tell anyone, k?

*Umm, Cor, you just told everyone in the Square.... *

Drat.

Well, I suppose I should start catching-up....

*Cor and Vern take their usual spots at the fountain*

---------------------------

@ Ali. Quite welcome, miss Ali!

Exactly! She (Emma) got on my nerves a little too much especially at the beginning, for her to one of my favorites heroines. Still, I'm glad she finally came to her senses by the end of the book. I thought her relationship to Mr. Knightly was very cute. (yes, I said "cute")

Lol! It just appeared to me as well! It's stalking my avatar!!

@ PP. Glad to know you're not dead or "mostly dead". Hope you can stop by again soon!

@ Lark. Ah yes, papers and such can get in the way of pleasure reading. Well, when you have time, I highly recommend Sense & Sensibility. It's my favorite Austen book so far.

Thanks! Djaq did a marvelous job, as always. Heh, I've been listening to the Beatles since I was young enough to remember. KingLune is a big fan and would play the records/cassette tapes for me as I was growing-up. Maybe that's why I have a slightly British accent....

@ NN. They have, but usually they will just release a "Special Edition" with a few more minutes of music. Thankfully, labels like Intrada and Varese Sarabande will release complete editions of scores, usually older works that never really got a good presentation before. The big studio labels (Disney, Reprise, Sony Classical) have released some complete or near complete albums for their more popular titles: Star Wars (Original Trilogy), LotR: Complete Recordings, Beauty and the Beast, etc. Pretty much your best bet on complete scores would be to checkout one of the specialty labels that focus on just film scores.

I'm not sure exactly. I haven't been keeping up with VotD news very much..... I wouldn't be surprised if it is, though.

I haven't seen very many 3D movies, so I can't really form an opinion on them. I do remember going to an IMAX movie at the TN aquarium and having to leave because the glasses made me sick.

@ Winter. Yes, just a tad.

I watched the first few dancers on the first night, but soon got bored with it and didn't watch it anymore. On the other hand: Did you see the women's free skate last night? The South Korean girl was AMAZING!

@ QueenSusan. Glad you're doing well! (Heh, I hope it was not in a bad part of town. )

I've been/was watching the figure skating. I really enjoyed it this year. Most of the people that I wanted to win won, so I'm happy.

@ Djaq. Your welcome!

*Very glad to hear you are both doing so well. From what I heard from Cor, MotW sounds like a lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed it! And if I'm not mistaken, isn't Flam MotW now?*
