The ^ > V game
^ Very true!> I love those 'honest trailers'
v I have bibliophobia. I may finish the Hobbit before I get a chance to get the LOTR books... which means a day or more without Tolkien... *sobs*
^ going to watch it soon
>Awsome so far
V
>Awsome so far
V
^ Roar> It's so quiet when the Northerners are asleep
v We need more Southerners...
^ i agree with that
> Silence
^ 2h difference between Aus and NZ
> Silence

^ Yes> Which is annoying when Jo goes to sleep...
v But I still have you guys
^ yes you do
> WE southerners stick together
V
> WE southerners stick together
V
^ Yep.
> Minus my tendency to disappear for days on end...
v Helloooooooooooo?
> Minus my tendency to disappear for days on end...
v Helloooooooooooo?
^ Hai!!!> Yes, we do. But we also stick with the northerners
v We just all stick together
Mod
> Hi, Inno!! We missed you! :D
v So what'cha guys been up to?
^ Reading zeh Hobbit> And being intimidated by crowds and noise in the city :(
v Really, they need to tone it down. It's too much for a country girl such as myself
Mod
> *confused*
v I wish I lived in the country . . . *sigh*
^ The country is so quiet and peaceful> Much like the Shire. Except we're not hobbits
v No, I don't live in the city. We just went there today. Sheesh, I would die if I was living in the city
Mod
> I would give anything to live in the Shire . . .
v Okay, not anything :P
Do you have a bucketlist?
^ Erm...> Not sure what a bucketlist is...
v Come over here, Jo! *hands out*
I WILL CATCH YOU!!
Mod
> lol. I want it:) I want a pet squirrel :P
v A bucketlist is a list of things to do before you die. Otherwise known as a list of things to do before you die. :P
^ Yes! I do. There's two things on it...> I haven't gotten round to anything more...
v I will do it! In three hundred years when I finally get up from the couch...
Mod
> I have one . . . I've been working on it lately, and it has 60 things on it ^_^
v May I ask what your two things are? (If not just ignore me :P)
^ Going to Scotland, and seeing an aurora.> Other things I would put on there are: publish a book, perform a song I wrote, star in a play, see the Fortingall Yew, go back in time, etc
v Some of yours?
Mod
> Hold on, I'll choose some of my best ones --
v Learn Tolkien elvish, Visit London, and the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Go to Hobbiton, Meet one of my favourite actors, See a red squirrel, (and a fox, and a wolf. We have such boring animals in NZ) Meet my internet friends in real life, and have a LOTR movie marathon.
Those are some of my best ones.
^ Ooh! I would definitely join you for the movie marathon. 'Twould be killing two birds with one stone> They look so cool! May I steal some of them?
v And I would add learning Gallifreyan. I've already learned Simplified Gallifreyan.
Mod
> That's cool! (Wow, you can actually speak it? o_O) I also want to learn the Dancing Men code, from Sherlock Holmes :)
v I love codes, and languages.
^ They're brilliant. And, ah, no, just writing it. Not even the writers know how Gallifreyan sounds. In fact, it would burn you up.> My favourite (real) language is Romanian
v It's so beautiful
Mod
> I want to learn Hebrew.
v After the languages I'm already learning :) I want to be fluent in over three languages . . . Can you imagine that?! Just being able to switch, in the middle of sentences?! Tolkien spoke gazillions. *sigh* I just wish my parents had brought me up bilingual >.< I could already know two languages and be learning my third and fourth! D:
^ Hehe> I should learn Romanian. Really, I should. It's an old Transylvanian language.
v And yeah, that would be amazing
Mod
> So far, though, I'm stuck with one . . . *sigh*
v *yawn* Might get off in a minute.
^ Ok. I think I will, too> Before you go, though, you should watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoRSrM... - I know I've shown you a lot of videos, but hey, it is a LOTR/Potter parody...
v Ok, I have to get off now... to do that thing called... work
^ Oooooooooh... I'll go watch in a minute. Bye Leyah!!!
> There's nothing good to read. I'm about to go back to school and I'm suddenly crazy sick. Ughhh...
v I think I have to go actually. Bye.
> There's nothing good to read. I'm about to go back to school and I'm suddenly crazy sick. Ughhh...

v Is tired
Mod
> *yawn*
v I couldn't get on GR today . . . stupid thing was down for maintenance when I got on D;
^ Oh... GR has been pretty nice to me as of late. *casts suspicious looks at computer*

v Are there any good movies out right now?
> Is sick. I spent all holiday being sick and knowing my luck, once school starts, it'll be like I was never sick to begin with.
v Are there any good movies out right now?
^ Not that I know of. I'm not much of a movie person> @Jo: If... you... could... only.... stay... on... a... bit... longer...!!! D:
v I was socialising with family. Don't blame me. They made me do it.
Mod
> Briana, I VANT those t-shirts! Seriously, argh, vanting *dies*
v I also want these ones:
O.o Can I have those shirts now??
^ Urgh. Socializing. I don't understand how people do it all the time
> I wonder if anyone is still on...
v Heelloo??? Anybody there??
^ Yes! Six hours later...> Well... hi!
v Favourite flavour of icecream?
^ Yes. I do. I love it with chocolate.> Now I want an after-dinner mint...

^ Ok. I won't be on for long. And I know, it would've been 12 where you are when I was online. > I was washing zeh car
v How are you?
Mod
> Seriously, we should switch timezones, Leyah. That way you could stay up later and I'd probably still be online, instead of me going to bed while you're still awake xD
v What you doing?
^ Eating pancakes and dressing my brother> I know! I'd been thinking the same thing ;)
v Except our countries would stay the same
Mod
> We'd all be on at the same time and there would be so many people posting at the some time
v It would be fun to talk to you guys, but it would get so chaotic
^ I know, I meant Jo and I swapping timezones> Because I'm a night-owl and she's not, yet her timezone is two hours ahead of us.
v Urg. Timezones suck
Mod
> I should really get off. I need to eat my dinner that was ready a long while ago
v I DON'T WANNA GO!
