HAPPY BIRTHDAY COR! (And Dee, yesterday. I didn't manage to get in here in time yesterday. :P)

That's the present from me, too, Cor! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL? I just love it forever!

Curious--are you going to go out and smoke a cigar or something today, as you're eighteen now? My friend wants to do that on his eighteenth birthday. Personally, there's nothing appealing to me about sucking smoke, but to each his own. :D

I'm having a very good day. I'm going to a carnival this evening, and I'm very excited. I'd take you with me if you lived by me, Cor! :) Happy Birthday again!

*arrives in town just in time to miss the birthday boy, but offers a little ice cream cake anyway*

There's so much fire on this page, it makes me want to go build one of my own. ;))

I hope you've enjoyed your flagon! But choose your flagons carefully, because:

The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true. ;)

Have a wonderful day! (I always enjoy it when my birthday falls on a Friday; hope you do too).

Hark, I hear a pizza calling!
*scurries off to lunch*

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

*Lady Amalthea enters the Square followed by several fauns and Bulgy Bears*

I thought perhaps the refreshments needed refreshing. I would have been here earlier, but after Vern "helped" with lighting the cake... well, I was a bit detained. However, these trays are of a wider variety so there won't be so many sugar overloads. Let's see, Nigel, perhaps the pizza, hamburger and gyro trays should go to the left of the fountain. What do you think?

*The Lady and the Bear set about arranging goodies for all to come the rest of the day*

@Jo: Yes, Nigel is one of the Bulgy Bears. How did you know? Has he been catering for your esteemed personage?

The fauns and the Bulgy Bears will be in and out all day keeping the goodies fresh. Enjoy!

*Lady Amalthea leaves the Square writing a note to herself*

I must remember to speak to the dear king about rescinding his judgement on Vern regarding the cake. After all, Vern has promised to guard the root beer cellar from Prince Cor and he did fly to Narnia and bring the extra barrels....

Edit:

Oh Stargazer! That reminds me. I must bring the chalice from the palace!

And congratulations to King Lune for becoming regular! Errm, I mean becoming A Regular. On NarniaWeb. On his avatar thingy. Wonder when that happened? Oh well, back to the castle!

*strolls into the square* Hooboy, what a party in here!
First and foremost, I would like to wish Cor a glorious 18th birthday on this mortereve. I hope it's a good one! *throws confetti on Cor*

Look at that cake, and all those delicious refreshments! I might as well add my little distributions to the party: Tres Leches Macaroons dipped in chocolate. ( & some plain ones for those who would prefer no chocolate.)

Splendid party this looks like, King Lune and Lady Amethyst! =] Wish I could stay for some time, but I must skeddadle to lunch and other duties.
Hope y'all have fun!

*Cor and Vern return to the Square for a quick catch-up*

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

@ Sweeet. Ah, so you did help with it. I was going to ask if you helped Djaq or if it was Djaq that helped. *decides to stop before he confuses himself* Anyway, it is very nice. Thank you! :)

Heh, nope. Besides the fact that I have no interest in doing such a thing, I think both KingLune and Lady A would be "very... put out" at me and then my grandmother would probably disown me. :p No, if I inhale any smoke on purpose, it will be from a good ol' hickery BBQ fire. :) :p

A carnival actually sounds fun. Wish we did actually live closer! :) Thanks for the birthday wishes and hope you have a splendid time at the carnival! :D

@ Gazer. Ice cream cake.... only seconded by a good made-from-scratch homemade cake with chocolate icing.... *Vern quickly puts the handy drool bucket in-front of Cor* Oh! Sorry about that.

Ah yes, the "flagon with the dragon". Well, these flagons are rather plain, so I think I'm safe. ;)

*Where is that flagon with the dragon anyway? :- *

I think KingLune had it buried outback after we watched The Court Jester. :-??

Thanks Gazer! (Me too. It seems to make the day even better when it falls on the weekend for some reason. :) )

Edit:

@ Bella. Aww, sorry you can't stick around. :( Thanks for dropping by, though! So far my day is going splendidly, thanks!

Avvie by the great Djaq!

chocolate cake! I really hope nobody is allergic to chocolate here ;;). Anyways...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COR!!!

How is y'all on this wonderful occasion? Mmmm... Well I could give y'all an update on my life starting a few months ago :D

Well I joined a Sherlock Holmes play called "Speckled Band" and no I'm not going to explain it. Then soccer started, our record this year is five wins, 2 losses and one tie. Unfortunately we only have eleven players and one of them got pneumonia so we are down another player.

Then I was asked to join another play. Being the passionite actor that I am I said yes gleefuly... I turned thirteen and hit my two years NWeb aniversary. However I was gone that day so I missed it, lol. Not good. Um... Thats about it hehe.

If you ain't first, you're last.

PC004: Happy birthday!!! Hope it's a great one! :D :D

Aslans Country: Thank you!! :) A welcomer is one who--welcomes people when they first join the forum. :D So I send some of the new members PM's on my specific day. :)

Dj: Ah, sorry you're sore. :p I get that if I do such activity for a long time as well. :p

I hope you enjoy the performance tonight! My brother and his friend are going to it.

Are you serious?? Wow. Never been so close to any of your family members before. ;) And I didn't even know it. :p I really enjoyed it--my brothers were a bit critical. ;)) But that's to be expected. :p I liked it. The pianist on Keyboard 1 is a super good friend of mine, and the Little Cosette is also one of my friends. I knew one or two of the other main actresses (Well, the eldest Cosette I suppose) from a choir I was in. Etc. So--yeah. :) Neat that your brother went!!! What'd he think? Did he go to the final performance too?

*announcer enters stage*

Welcome fellow citizens of Ditto Town to yet another episode of the Ruby-Winter hour of utter insanity! Tonight is a special edition in honor of Prince Cor's birthday!

*curtain goes up and announcer exits stage*

*A giant shape floats into view suspended by a myriad of vibrantly colored balloons*

Ruby: WEEEE!!! This is fun! I'm going to have to send those giants a thank you note for this wonderful cake--and the balloons!

We're not going to crash land! We're going to dive straight into the Square Fountain! Hahaha!

*SPLASH!!!*

Ruby: *emerges from the water smeared with icing* Ack! *splutter* This is gross! *gag* Erm...I don't think the cake is any longer edible. Unless you like three water cake.

Well, a food fight wasn't really on my agenda for birthday party activities, but I guess since we can't do anything else with this cake. *launches large blob of icing towards Winty, misses profusely, hitting Prince Cor smack dab in the middle of the face* Whoops!! *turns bright red in the face* Erm, I guess my aim was a little off! Sorry about that Cor.

*takes one look at the royal family, the cake, and the platypus and faints dead away*

Ruby: AIEEE!! *dives out of the fountain, dragging Winty behind her.

*the NarniaWebbers disperse quickly*

Winty: *comes back around* You know, Ruby, I think you and I have the tendency to crash parties, literally, and I don't mean that in a good way!

Ruby: Perhaps you're right, but all the same, I think Prince Cor understand that we wish him a happy birthday! Despite the soggy birthday cake.

Right. How could I forget?

Winty: Because you're you, Ruby dear.

Winty: Come, on!

*Ruby and Winter exit the stage, wet, and smeared with cake*

And that's it, folks! Tune in next time for another hilariously ridiculous episode of the Ruby-Winter hour of utter insanity!

Hey Hey! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCE COR!! :D All this celebrating recently has me pooped...BUT, I hope you're lively enough today to rock that town with the news of your 18th (or 19th, whichever is more "technically correct") year!

*nibbles cake but not too much*...

Mr. Grade-A, First-Class NUT: Did this work with the font? *testing, testing* Yep, it worked. Cool, thanks! :)

I guess maybe your director believes in a bit of intimidation? That's not entirely bad. Oooh, nightmares about opening night = THE worst! I know all about those and pre-performance jitters. I think the nerves are part of what makes you perform the best 'cause you're scared to mess up. Lol! How many plays do you perform in a year?

I repeal my statement of closing this argument in order to rebuff your two closing thoughts. Nay, Columbus and Galileo were not wrong. May I remind you, however, that the underdog is certainly not always right? I personally believe that "majority rules" is still a force to be reckoned with in this debate. I, as the decisive winner of this argument, would also like to point this one thing out: when Hershey's Chocolate was invented, people in photographs were still stony-faced, but shortly after the invention of the Hershey's Chocolate Bar, smiles appeared in photos, and people have generally been happier since then!! What do you say to that? ^_^ (I have no idea who Perry Mason is... :p 8-} )

You would say chocolate was better than sushi...just because, and while some points of your argument are well-orated, you have to admit that saying something is bad just because you simply don't like it, or have a great enough appreciation for the lusciousness which surrounds it, is a bit of a juvenile ploy in argumentation. :P

Narnia Girl, your avatar rocks!! :D

Queen Susan, yeah I know! I told him that my NW/FB friends would be there and he kinda got excited 'cause in The City, he doesn't see too many people he knows. (or sort of knows...) =] I'm afraid my brother was a little critical too. 8-} That's neat that you knew some of the people in it; it makes a performance even more fun if you recognize people! Um...Yes, he did go to the final performance. He didn't really enjoy it...I'm afraid he's not much of a theater-lover anyway. Speaking of which, though, I get to go to the play "You Can't Take it With You". I'm going with a friend, and it should be fun fun fun!! :D

Hmm, better go check on the baby we have sleeping upstairs. (cutie-patootie......!)

Heh heh. :p I suppose it wouldn't help if you weren't much "into" it to begin with... Even if I did notice a few faults, I also recognized that I don't think I could do much better, if at all. ;)) And I can usually ignore problems and like something anyway. :p (Which some of my brothers can't. *cough*) ;)) Ah well.
Oh, how fun! Haven't heard of the play before, but I'm sure you'll have an enjoyable time! At least, if you go with a friend! ;)) I could go with a friend to the most boring play on earth and still have a blast. :p (Well, might depend on the friend too.) ;)) Hehe.
And, I'm afraid I don't remember seeing your brother there. :p There were probably 500 people though, so not too surprising. Plus, I've never seen him before, just pictures. :p

*dashes in quickly* I'm sorry to say my invite seems to have got here just a bit late. /:) But...Happy birthday, PC004!! :D I hope it's been a great one. And hullo to Vern! :)

Thank you very kindly for the invitation, KingLune004, and for the refreshments, Lady A! :D

*takes a nice draught of root beer from her flagon (antique, German beer mug that we inherited from relatives)* Yummy...the perfect thing to send me back to studying for Finals. :P ;))

*Sends huge hugs to all the Square Onions: Mel, Jo, QueenSusan, Djaq, flam, Ruby, Winter, PELS, Jojo, Bella, NN95, Miss Rose, Narnia Girl, gazer, Fanny, GtG, PA, JillPole, all the Royal family (though it is a bit hard to hug a dragon), Lark, ~LL~, and all the others who my very tired and studyfied brain has missed*

*dances into the Square under her umbrella*

Firstly, Happy Birthday (a day late) to Djaq and Happy Birthday to Cor! :D/ Whoo-hoo! Hope you had/are having fantastic days! :D

Good mortereve, all! Hope everything's going well! :) I'm doing splendidly, especially because it's raining here! :D We almost never get rain, but we've had days and days of it...that soft, gentle rain that kisses your face and patters on the roof and is altogether beautiful and cozy. :x
Not much else is going on, except that I had an interview for a job at Chick-fil-a yesterday! :) I think it went well, although I won't know if I'm hired for awhile. Prayer would be very much appreciated. :)

*starts ketchup*

Have anyone here seen the movie Merlin? Me and my brother would really like to watch it, but I wanted to check up on the nature of the film first.

I'm not familiar with a specific Merlin movie; is this the BBC series, perhaps? If so, you should most definitely watch it! It is awesome. :D And very clean and family-friendly; very little language (if any) and the violence is PG at most. The show is about the practice of magic, but if that's all right with you, the rest should be fine! :)

I'm planning on reading they Attolia series. Some of my Narniaweb friends were talking about the series in the chat box only a few days ago...They told me I really should read it and I plan to with my next trip to the Library. Though they only gave my a brief description it still sounds awesome and I'm looking forward to it.

Yay!! :D See what peer pressure can do? :p (Kidding, of course.) I can't wait to hear what you think of them!

Oh, not at all! It takes perhaps a tree falling to wake me up, so I just slightly felt your presence with your trip. Aheehee.

Oh, good! *is relieved* Still, perhaps popping is not advisable for people with long legs...

For some reason, this whole conversation is making me think of the part in Anne of Green Gables when they jump on the bed and find Aunt Josephine in it. ;))

Maybe we could grow a telescope tree and water it with telescope-polishing substance so it's the very best kind?

Ooh, I like that idea! :D What sort of soil do telescope trees grow in, I wonder?

it does bear resemblence to Attolia! Somehow it reminds me of Sounis' castle but I've always imagined his a bit less ethereal but more fortress-kind. I imagine probably Eddis' palace this way, with the trees and all; I need a reread to imagine Attolia's castle, because I sped past descriptions to find out what would happen.

Hmm, it reminds me of Eddis' palace as well. I can imagine Eddis and Gen standing on the tower and having funny conversations. ;) I think I pictured Sounis looking rather like the illustration of Tashbaan in HHB...a magnificent, imposing, but slightly oppressive city. As for Attolia's castle, I really have no idea. ;)) Which is a perfect excuse for a reread. :D

Have you read Conspiracy of Kings yet?

*waves hello to Princess Anna*

I'm well besides that I have a cold . I have a sore throat and a runny nose but besides that I'm fine, as in I'm in a good mood.

I'm sorry you were/are feeling sick! :( Those spring colds are nasssty. I hope you're feeling better now? :)

I'm a HUGE fan. Just saw Bryce in concert last week . Best concert I've been to. Do you like his music?

The concert sounds like fun! :D Was he touring with anyone else? And I've just started listening to some of his music, but I like what I've heard! :) What are your favorites of his songs?

I'm terribly nervous already. And, uh.... *runs to double-check*... It's Concerto No. 9 in A Minor, Op. 104, written by Charles de Bériot. Kind of a long name... But it's a really, really beautiful piece. Difficult, but beautiful. There's probably a recording of it online somewhere. I've looked, but the only ones I could find were played either very badly or incorrectly.. ://

I'm sure you'll do wonderfully! :D Are you playing it from memory? Ah, I see. I've heard of Bériot, but not that particular piece, I think. Is it a slower tempo? I'll have to try and find a recording! :)

Princess, I'm glad you enjoyed the prom! It sounded like so much fun. :D And both the picture you posted and the ones on FB are lovely of you! :D

I've been well, thanks! How're you?

Ah, good to hear! :) I've been doing great, thanks! :) Just trying to maintain the willpower to finish school. And I'm very excited about graduation! :D When is school over for you?
By the way, did you happen to watch any of the NFL draft?

So you're a Robin Hood fan, too?

I most definitely am! :) It's the show that started me watching British TV and thus was the link to a couple other favorite shows. :) So who are your favorite characters?

*sends hellos to Malkah* How are you, mm?

I'm doing really well, thanks! :) I'm very ready for summer and long, hot days, though! :D How've you been? Do you have any plans for summer yet?

Did anyone here watch Masterpiece's "The Diary of Anne Frank"? I watched it online just today, and my oh my it is good. I love movies from that era; I love their accents; and even though the end is sad, the movie was great. =]

I've been wanting to watch that ever since I heard Masterpiece was doing a version! I wasn't quite sure what they might include in the story, however...aaand I also never got around to it. ;) But I'm glad to hear it's good! :D
I'm curious, how did they end it?

Spoiler
Was it with their discovery, or did they take it into the concentration camp?

No one, in these books, can hide or avoid communication from anyone because of satellite, GPS, message-tracking, and even "secure" phone calls aren't secure...I kind of want to go back to the time when communication was limited, slow, and safe. It's kinda freaked me out that anyone can find you anywhere...

Ditto! Even though "back then", your letters could still be opened and read, it was so much easier to be a nobody and have your privacy intact. Now...I've freaked myself out with how much I could discover about people on Facebook, even people with private profiles. And I'm not even trying to stalk anyone. It's scary. :|

*squints at Mal* Hmm, you look like someone I used to know who stopped by the Square... Kidding! Welcome back, Mal! I hope you can stop by more often.

*waits to be recognized* Otherwise, would I have to go through a Square initiation all over again? :-s ;)) And thanks! I hope so too! :)

then cooking marshmellows and spam over an open fire when it got dark.

I first read that as cooking marshmallows and spam together...like sort of a spam s'more, perhaps? ;)) And then I realized they were cooked separately. At least, I hope so... /:) ;)

think I'm a little more partial to the Merlin TV show. Still, I really enjoyed Robin Hood.

You're a Merlin fan? I didn't know this! :D Have you seen both seasons?

*laughs heartily at the Royal Family's...interesting afternoon*

Hello, Elsendor! Welcome back to the Square! :) I hope you can stick around!

I gave our baby chicks a waterer full of coffee! Hehe, my facebook friends encouraged it, so I did it, but I diluted it, so I don't know if there were any affects yet or not.

Decaf, I hope? :p *has a vision of forty-some chicks all hyped on caffeine* Although you did say you diluted it...anyways, did anything happen?

I've been doing pretty good, thanks. I've been babysitting more lately, which has been nice. Things are getting busier around here, but it's fun. What about you? What have you been doing?

I'm glad to hear that! :) Are you babysitting your nephews and nieces, or other families? Are you done with school soon?
Hmm, everything's going pretty well! As I said at the top of my post, I'm hoping to start working at Chick-fil-a! :D Other than that...there's quite a few things that are ending or need to be, so I've been busy with that. :)

*skimming...*

We...headed to a Christian school some time away to take my SAT test (not to be confused with the PSAT or the SAT taken for college)

I'm a bit confused...is this state standardized testing then? The kind you're required to take every other year?

*waves a greeting to Aravanna and JillPole*

*waves to Fanny*!! How've you been? :) And I must say, your avatar is lovely! Do you like that Mansfield Park version too?

*waves to Rubaniriel*

malkah! *hugs* Good to see you on the square! How's everything going?

*returns the hug* It's lovely to see you too! :) Everything's going fairly well, thank ye! I've been busy finishing school and piano and getting ready for graduation. How about you? What have you been up to? :)

Welcome back again, and all the best with your scholarship applications: these are for college or university, I presume?

Thank you! :) Yes, indeed, these are for college next year. I'm hoping to be able to go to a private Christian university, but it depends on what scholarships come in. So we'll see what happens! :)

Stargazing! What a good idea!

D.e.f.i.n.i.t.e.l.y. Our youngest son has a telescope, which we enjoy very much, but I still love the naked eye approach as one scans, sans instrument, the vast, black and starry vista from horizon to zenith to horizon.

Same here! :) Do you have dark skies where you live? Because of my dad's military duty, my family's been able to go to San Diego for the past few years. The base is right on the beach, and the stars are incredible. :D Those long nights lying in the sand and watching the stars always what I look forward to most. :)

My hand has been hurting quite a bit lately. My right thumb received a direct hit in hockey a couple weeks ago. At first it just swelled and I couldn't move it, and then it seemed to be healing. But this past week, it's really gone downhill. We went to the doctor for some ex-rays, but they couldn't see any noticeable problem. So, I get to wear a splint for several days, and then go to a hand specialist. Woo-hoo.
But in the meantime, prayers would be appreciated! I can't write, play violin... and it hurts a lot, all the time.

I'm praying! I know how painful and frustrating hand injuries are...especially when you're trying to get ready for a music recital. :( Is it feeling any better? Have you been to the specialist yet?

Since I've posted last,I've disected a frog and a fish(carp,I believe). Neither were as thrilling as the pig,but still quite fascinating. I got to skin the frog!! The fish was a little annoying ,though, because his scales kept falling off.

How fun!! :D I loved dissecting frogs; the detail inside what seems to be a rather simple animal is amazing! Have you dissected anything else?

And we have a foreign exchange student arriving in May.

That sounds like it's definitely going to be an interesting experience! :) Where is he from?

Hehe, yes. We went with a small group of people from our church last night to see the documentary "Oceans" in theater...It was rather annoying when the narrator would start up on the evolution. I was next to a friend, and she and I both let out little 'snorts' when we felt the need to. Or the occasional "Tttt!" The theater was rather empty, and the other viewers were farther away, so I don't believe we disturbed them.

;)) We've definitely done that. It's hard not to when the "cow put on weight and became the hippo, which then went to the beach, jumped in the water, and turned into a whale" statements start. Just...no. ;))

*waves to Lady L*

Aslans Country, hello! Welcome to the Square! My name's malkah or Mal; I hope you drop by often! :)

He's one of my favourite RH characters, not because I'm a fan gurl, but because his inward struggles between good and evil are fascinating.

Same here! :) I love Guy's character, although I don't really like him. ;) It's that sort of negative liking where you are very glad you don't know this person in real life, but their character draws you in and you can't look away...

Have you seen Season 3?

*waves to Winty* :-h How are you? You're doing Script Frenzy, right? How's that going? :)

This is not a complete catchup, I know, but I'm running out of time, so I shall end here. ;) I'll be back in to finish later!

*waves to all Onions* Have a fantastic Friday eve!

*splashes in several puddles on her way out of the Square*

Mortereve all!

@ NN. Thanks NN! You're actually not too far off from the truth. I'm hoping to "borrow" KingLunes sound system later today and listen to some soundtracks. :)

Haha, I should've known. Anything special you are going to have listened to?

( & some plain ones for those who would prefer no chocolate.)

Can't imagine who that would be! *cough* ;))

Well I joined a Sherlock Holmes play called "Speckled Band"

Ah, I love the "Speckled Band" Sherlock Holmes story. That's one of the first I ever read. That's so cool you're in a play version!

*chuckles, unsurprisingly, at the splendiferously funny Ruby-Winter post, as always!*

Mr. Grade-A, First-Class NUT: Did this work with the font? *testing, testing* Yep, it worked. Cool, thanks! :)

Awesome, I wonder how many fonts work. This is cool!

I guess maybe your director believes in a bit of intimidation? That's not entirely bad. Oooh, nightmares about opening night = THE worst! I know all about those and pre-performance jitters. I think the nerves are part of what makes you perform the best 'cause you're scared to mess up. Lol! How many plays do you perform in a year?

Intimidation? Eh, maybe. I think it's generally just being firm, which is good. But, it seems like things can bug her really easily, so you gotta be always careful. Anyway, like I said, it's not mine to judge...
It seems like, in all of my performance nightmares, something has been drastically changed (like a whole chunk of the script, or a section of the stage) and it really freaky. :-s But, yeah, I agree that nerves actually help a lot.
Only one a year. Considering we spend half of the year working on it, we couldn't do much more than that! ;)) The play months are always the busiest months of the year.

I repeal my statement of closing this argument in order to rebuff your two closing thoughts. Nay, Columbus and Galileo were not wrong. May I remind you, however, that the underdog is certainly not always right? I personally believe that "majority rules" is still a force to be reckoned with in this debate.

What do you say to that? ^_^ (I have no idea who Perry Mason is... :p 8-} )

Ah, I'm always up for a little rebuffing! ;)) You are most certainly correct, the underdog is not always right. But, may I remind you that being the underdog in no way automatically makes me wrong. In fact, the underdog is more often right than wrong. But, again, not always right. So, I don't think majority vs. minority can really come into any debate. Oh, and I wouldn't be too hasty is considering yourself the decisive winner. ;)
As far as Hershey's chocolate having anything to do with people smiling in photographs, it's pure coincidence and a stretch for a viable argument.
Perry Mason was a TV show from waaay back. He was this awesome lawyer that could win any case presented to him. The name has come to represent the ultimate lawyer. :)

You would say chocolate was better than sushi...just because, and while some points of your argument are well-orated, you have to admit that saying something is bad just because you simply don't like it, or have a great enough appreciation for the lusciousness which surrounds it, is a bit of a juvenile ploy in argumentation. :P

Oh, you want to talk about juvenile ploy in argumentation, do you? Then explain the reasoning of your argument, "just because". (Hehe, I love useless debates. ;)) )

Ah, good to hear! :) I've been doing great, thanks! :) Just trying to maintain the willpower to finish school. And I'm very excited about graduation! :D When is school over for you?
By the way, did you happen to watch any of the NFL draft?

Good! Ah, you're graduating this year? That's awesome! School will be out for me in about 3 weeks, but I'm finishing some classes sooner. :)
Haha, I was just wondering how long it would be before football came up again! ;)) Unfortunately, no, I didn't get to watch any (I would've liked to, though), and despite having kept up with football news for the most part, throughout the offseason, the only draft news I know is that Tim Tebow went to the Broncos, which I'm sure you're very excited about!

I most definitely am! :) It's the show that started me watching British TV and thus was the link to a couple other favorite shows. :) So who are your favorite characters?

Ah, cool! Have you seen all three seasons? I've only seen Season 1, but plan to watch 2 when I get the chance. And, definitely not Season 3, as I'm sure you will attest is a good idea.
Well, Allen's my favorite character. And, I really liked Roy, for the three episodes he lasted. ;)) And, Guy's a pretty interesting character to watch, and see his inner struggles, and such.

Yikes, it's past midnight. Have a great night, all!

*Cor and Vern wearily stagger into the Square after a very fun and full day of celebrating*

Whew! I'm tired! #:-s The party was AMAZING but after playing 15 encores of "Dust in the Wind", "25 or 6 to 4" and "Layla", one can get quite.... tired.

*Cor and Vern make their way over to the table of food and grab a slice of pizza to snack on and a flagon of cold root beer to wash it down*

Well, we had a nice little party with my grandmother before joining the commoners outside. :) We had Runzas for dinner and will be making a chocolate cake tomorrow. :D

As for presents, I got: two DVD's, some chocolates, money and a CD (the CD is on the way. Dad had to order it a little late so it did not arrive in time). :D

*And I got you both of those DVD's. ;) *

Right.

*Cor snags one more cookie provided by the Modly sisters*

I'll be responding to everyones PM's tomorrow, BTW. But right now, I would like to thank everyone who attended the Square party: KingLune, Lady A, Jo, Djaq, NN, Sweeet, Gazer, Bella, nn, QueenSusan, Ruby and Winter (you two are hilarious!), Jojo, Valia, and Mal. to all of you great friends! My birthday was made even better by all of your well wishes. :D

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

Alright, tomorrow I'll make a catch-up post (which should be rather long... ;)) ). For now, I think I'll retire to the castle and head for bed... (-|

Goodnight all and thanks again for helping to make my birthday great! :D

*Cor and Vern exit the Square, not bothering to stop by the chocolate tree tonight*

Avvie by the great Djaq!
