I can totally relate - my mom has a bunch too and she used to have them lined up all over our house on top of the the doorways and her shaker pegs.

He refused to tell us no matter how much we begged him.(from mugglenet's review of info learned at HP premier.) He would definetly be able to learn information like this if he was locked in her basement.<br /><br />And on mugglecast they were saying that Alan Rickman doesn't come to premiers. This is true, because he spends all of his time in JK Rowling's basement.shaylalunanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-39543841795127469522009-07-13T21:12:04.698+04:302009-07-13T21:12:04.698+04:30Usually "hot English sun" would be an ox...Usually "hot English sun" would be an oxymoron, but you're kinda right this time around.Odihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663003753318133201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-34103280235771968132009-07-13T20:01:04.364+04:302009-07-13T20:01:04.364+04:30Hi :)

I, too, watched Torchwood and also punched the TV. Even if they do another season of it (which I doubt) everyone is dead or gone & Gwen is in another show so it won't be MY Torchwood. :)<br />Thank you for sharing.<br />Love from Canada<br />xoxoRK Charronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363516910545064180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-70405794403469695722009-07-13T12:45:33.367+04:302009-07-13T12:45:33.367+04:30Grr... my hastiness in commenting angers me someti...Grr... my hastiness in commenting angers me sometimes.<br /><br />I had gone over the debate about a month ago, and put in the request then.<br /><br />My library is the <a href="http://pioneer.lib.ok.us" rel="nofollow">Pioneer Library System</a>, serving McClain, Cleveland, and Pottawatomie Counties.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735882970530507084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-4916868821737575182009-07-13T12:42:37.011+04:302009-07-13T12:42:37.011+04:30Maureen, this has nothing to do with your blog, bu...Maureen, this has nothing to do with your blog, but I feel compelled to let you know anyway. I was going over the Great Bartlesville Book Banning of 2007 and decided to check and see if MY (public) Oklahoma library had a copy of The Bermudez Triangle. As it turns out, they did not, so I did what any respectable young adult with a library account would do -- I suggested that they purchase one. Lo and behold, I checked the catalog a few minutes ago, and a copy of Maureen Johnson's "The Bermudez Triangle" shows up as "on order"! "Bermudez" will, if my catalog search is correct, become the 16th YA book in the Pioneer Library System to deal with lesbianism. I love exercising my rights as a member of my local library! Thanks for inspiring me to do so, Maureen!Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735882970530507084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-78667533068957136692009-07-13T11:03:10.597+04:302009-07-13T11:03:10.597+04:30Damnit...

Which! Is an upgrade from last summer in which i did absolutely POSITIVELY NOTHING. AND THEN...at the end of the summer... I discovered MAUREEN JOHNSON and I was SAVED. So I was wondering, how can i entertain myself without having to pay or drive anywhere? I'm desperate, I have already resorted to amusing myself with forks. Which, is sad. Though I'm proud to say I made a WHOLE tower using ONLY forks and one spoon, but that was because I ran out of forks... and I've had quite fun playing with shoelaces but that must be my inner LOLcat showing it's dark side. (LOLcats, can be dangerous things) And I've covered my door in sticky notes until my mom made me take them down a "waste of perfectly good sticky notes" she says. I've stood on the side of the rode with signs that say "honk if you love Fergie" I've sold lemonade, but the neighborhood kids told me to stop because i was "stealing all their business" and now I've ran out of options of what to do, so I hold many one-sided converstations with my cats and pretend that they are really respond when they nod off to sleep ("See look! They just nodded!")
