The ^ > V game
^ I don't think I do. (Deal, Leyah! I do not, Johanna! Okay, maybe:)> I joined in August 2012.
V Just woke up?
^ I've been awake for an hour or so. :) And my name is pronounced in the German fashion, but most people pronounce it the Americanized way. Whatevs, my name is better the way I spell and pronounce it. :P> I joined GR in April of 2012, so I just passed my one-year anniversary! YAY! I've been on LibraryThing much longer, though. I joined that site in 2010, but got a different account and heralded in my use of the name Eris in 2011.
V Is on LibraryThing.
^ Nope.> Interesting about the name. Mine is pronounced pretty much the same everywhere, I think. Although the British pronounced it differently back in Austen's time.
V Morning!
^ Good morning, Your Majesty! And should I ever meet you, I shall pronounce your real name the Austenian way, and address you as "milady" and "Queen" all the time. :D> Sure this is cheesy, but ergh, it gets mah feels going! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNBKr8... I didn't even mind the song choice. I like this cover of it. And sigh... zeh feels! :')
V Ships Whouffle.
^ Why yes I do.> But...but it sounds completely different and then it sounds like a different name with a different spelling that we have now. Oh, whatever. I'll get to call you your name. Bwhahhahah.
V http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y0Qde...
Mod
> Don't really know about Whouffle
v ...
^ Ta. :) What a lovely video, Elevetha. I think I saw that one before (has spent way too much time combing through looking for Whouffle videos)> I follow a blog called BakingWhouffle, and they're working on a Whouffle video using King and Lionheart! :D :D :D They're investing a lot of time and effort into it, so it'll probably be a while, but I am so looking forward to it. King and Lionheart is my chief Whouffle song.
V Derp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vtzdk...
Mod
> I feel kind of awkward
v ...
^ Sorry, Briana!> @ Eris. Thank you. *bows* That's the first one I watched without you prompting me. I trust I'll be able to watch it(King and Lionheart, Wooohooo!) on your Tumblr immediately, yeah?!:D
V Is their a password on your family computer and do you know it?
Mod
> I don't really understand the question
v Explain
^ Um, is there a password you have to type in before it lets you access all the stuff on the computer?> It's fairly straightforward.
V So I'm gonna go with no.
Mod
> I'm not sure I've heard of anything like that before
v Has typed in passwords for different accounts when logging in to something (I do that kind of a lot. I have so many passwords, and lots of them are variations of passwords)
^ Only on the library.> I got a new library card so I had to memorize the new one and try to forget the old one and then I always check my sister's card too at both libraries. It's exhausting.
V Has their library card memorized?
Mod
> So... I sometimes have really long passwords
v Very long (one time I had one that was... at least over 30 characters long. I finally changed it because it was so annoying having to type it in)
^ That's absurd.> Mine is 7 characters, I think. And I use it for pretty much everything, which isn't safe if someone figured it out but it's not one of those "If you know me, you can guess it" ones.
V I'm very sneaky.
Mod
> Mine (for GR) is... 10 characters long. Others are longer. Like my pottermore, gmail, other that I can't think of right now... (I think gmail is the longest right now)
v So... Where you ever going to lend me the polyjuice potion on pottermore??
^ I thought you said you didn't need it.> Plus, I can't lend it to you. I have to give it to you and then I have to make another one for myself, which requires days of my time.
V So until I have another one already made, you'll have to wait.
Mod
> ??
v ??
^ Wow. You really want my potion.> Are you having trouble making it yourself?
V I'll send it over. DragonVinesomething something, right? (Do you need both parts?) Oh! And I'm nicknaming you all your real names so I can keep track:)
Mod
> Catching up an chapters that I didn't know they added
v Send me the other part??
Mod
> I'll return them soon
v I just have to get through chapter 15
^ Okay.> You're welcome.
V Hope it works!
Mod
> Where did you get the Andros the Invincible card??
v You probably don't remember so I'll have to look it up on google
^ I don't remember.> Look on Pottermore wikia.
V It's got everything.
^ It does. :) I feel happy to be a Slytherin so I didn't have to brew the potion in order to get in.> I lost track of Pottermore for a while because my browser is out of date and I couldn't see any of the chapters.
V I was so shocked when I saw that Slytherin had won the House Cup! Hufflepuff was in the lead for the longest time, and we Snakes were happy with just beating Gryffindor. Crazy stuff.
^ I was upset.> Poor baby Ravenclaw.
V *pat pat*
^ Well, you guys are second now, so hopefully you can take the lead. Personally, I don't care who wins. It's no biggie.> After the second book even Harry and his friends stopped caring who won! They had more important things to do.
V But it is nice when my beloved Slytherin does well. :)
^ Oh, I'm not freaking out over it.> It's just a bit sad that Ravenclaw can't win.
V Frankly, it's mighty boring when there isn't new stuff to be found.
^ I know. 'Tis a problem. I do like the extra material from J.K. Rowling, though! The woman is a genius.> I also have fun randomly talking to people in the Common Room. They improved the chat system, so now comments get posted immediately.
V I've had many interesting chats. The Giant Squid got adopted by Slytherin once, and we dubbed it Zoth. Even though it was trying to drown us.
^ Niiiice> ....
v I didn't have a dream last night *breaks down*
^ Me neither. (I don't quite "get" the RPs in the Common Room.)> WAH.
V Had Mexican for dinner?
^ Nope> A good old-fashioned family roast.
v The Common Room?
^ Nope.> Roast is yummy.
V Ever had Swiss Steak???
^ Nope> I was asking "What is the Commmon Room?'
v Looking at sad DW moments on Youtube? I am
^ Nope.> Watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ4k7w...
V Um, the CR (keep in mind I don't understand it's purpose as such), say, the Ravenclaw CR is for all the Ravenclaws to talk to one another on Pottermore.
^ Ahh> Watching that video
v My mind is scrambled
^ B/c of the video?> Sorry.
V I like the guinea pig one better.
^ Ok> You can do that
v Back to watching sad Doctor Who videos
^ Have fun.> Tired
V Has a treadmill?
^ indeed I do. > It is used for....
V holding clothes and gathering dust.
^ I see> Very useful
v Rah
^ Nope.> I'd like one though.
V Watch TV and walk. Yep.
^ If I did that, I would fall on my face. > I'm not coordinated.
V Unless I'm balling!
^ I... see> I'm a bit coordinated
v Years of practice reading & walking
^ I do that.> Take my walk? Take a book.
V Stinks at golf.
^ Yes. Yes I do> And at about any other sport
v Unless there's an awful lot of running to do.
^ NEITHER CAN I> NOTICE THE 'AWFUL'
v ONLY RUNNING IF I'M WITH THE DOCTOR

How do they pronounce their name? Everyone usually always pronounces my name wrong (even if I just introduced myself with the correct pronunciation, they just say it back with the incorrect pronunciation. It's so annoying).
^ I joined in July of 2011
> Wow. I didn't think it was that long. I don't know what I would've done if my sisters hadn't introduced my to GR. *shudder* Where I be without you (break-into-song time!)
v Do you know that song???? That's the line right before the chorus. You probably don't though
