I just got the book the other day because so many people said they liked it. (however, I won't be able to read it for a while...)

by mrsfionacharming at 11/24/08 4:24PM
As soon as my brother heard I had gotten the book he just stood there, sighed, and said "you gave in" ...apparently all the girls at FC have read it

by mrsfionacharming at 11/25/08 8:43AM

by the_rainy_dog at 01/28/09 1:20PM
Update, I beg of you!!!

by phantomofthebandroom at 02/04/09 1:06AM

A degree in me

at 10/28/08 4:46PM

Joe here- posting in place of laurie... cuz' I feel like it.

Here's a quick quiz about myself, part of the reason I'm doing it on Laurie's blog is because I don't want you all to go snooping around my blog for the answers.

Some of you would put that much work into it, I know it. ^_~

So here's the quiz, enjoy, and no cheating.
To God be the glory,
Zaph'

Joeology

1) Name my favorite band.

Evanescence

Linkin Park

Three Days Grace

Within Temptation

Joseph, I got 80%. And the only ones I missed were the ones I had to guess at. Knew all the rest. So much for being a man of mystery...

by donnajo at 10/28/08 5:42PM
it skipped the whole thing and said I got 0?? IDK what happened.

by stephen_hall at 10/28/08 8:00PM
uhm. okay. that program is acting up. Sorry guys

by zaphenath at 10/29/08 11:10AM
I got 80%... (I actually guessed on some that I didn't know and got them right)

by mrsfionacharming at 10/29/08 11:16PM
I miss Laurie

by big_bertha_blue at 10/30/08 2:47PM
i thought i knew you..guess not.

by the_turtle at 10/30/08 4:37PM
Ack! I feel like a traitor for not knowing the extreme craziness of the Zaph. :*-P

And how is Lady Laurie doing? I never got around to saying anything about her tag-post. Both you and Joe would be rather crazzzy to be around! ;-) But, hey, you guys make people shiny too! ;D

by the_rainy_dog at 10/30/08 9:38PM
Laurie, you need to get Joe to do a quiz for you! He does a fine job! I would, possibly, do lousy, but you learn from your mistakes! ;-D

by the_rainy_dog at 11/03/08 10:45PM
laurie??I didnt know u had changed your name on here to twilight!Is it cause of the book or movie?

by im_confused at 11/06/08 9:27AM
AHHH! TWILIGHT TONIGHT!!!!!!!

by im_confused at 11/20/08 12:41PM
I started over because I accidentilly (I'm not joking) pressed the wrong one. I got 70%.

by finnbarr_galedeep at 11/22/08 8:51PM
I felt like doing it again, just for fun.

by finnbarr_galedeep at 11/23/08 10:11PM
That was unexpectedly fast.

by finnbarr_galedeep at 11/23/08 10:16PM

It's been far too long, friends... sheepish smile

at 10/18/08 1:37AM

I've been tagged. ^_^

8 weird facts about me...

1. I'm a book collector. Bookstores are to me what candyshops are to kids. ^_^ I almost always walk away with at least five books...maybe ten.

2. I talk to computers. Either to coax it into working the way I want it to("Come on. You can do it!"), or use it as a verbal punching bag ("Stupid hunk of machinery!!").

3. I have rather strong ankles. I rarely sprain them. My knees are another story. I pinch nerves and pull muscles around that area often. :P

4. I love weaponry. Enough said. ^_~

5. I have a constant stream of music playing in my head. It usually changes every ten minutes or so. It's kinda like listening to a ridiculously random radio station. :P

6. I attract the oddest nicknames. *ahem*
7. I incorporate foreign words in my everyday speech so I won't forget the few words I know. :P And I get the added pleasure of bugging my siblings. hehehe ^_^

8. Probably the weirdest thing about me is my sleeping habits. Or rather my 'waking up' habits. I'm a very heavy sleeper and I can carry on full conversations while still two-thirds unconscious . My dearest mother has had to resort to making me solve math problems to see if I'm truly awake. This on top of the extra loud alarmclock (anything less, I sleep through it) which I have set to go off an extra half hour early and strategically placed far out of reach. That way I have to get up to do something about that horrible screeching sound. :P I still hit the snooze button five times though...

And there you have it. Feel free to post anything I've missed that you feel should be mentioned. :P *giggle*

Soli Deo Gloria
Laurie ^_^

9. You got the nickname "Literal Laurie" for a reason.
10. You are a champion bug slayer and the first person we call to take care of our pest problems.
11. Highly competitive and hard to beat at most games. Ask me how I know...
12. The least nosy person I know.

by donnajo at 10/18/08 1:48AM
giggle and we love every strange thing about you. OXOX

by teelduo at 10/18/08 9:39AM
Awesome post! I take pride though, in the fact that I knew all of those. ^_^

13- You will buy almost anything if the salesperson is nice enough. ^_~
14- You are too caring for your own good- not willing to correct your order of food incase you might inconvenience the workers. _
15- When exceedingly sleepy, you start talking extremely fast.

by zaphenath at 10/18/08 10:24AM
Books! If I had the money I would own a copy of every book in the world. But, alas, I am broke. Plus I have very limited shelf space.

by notcaptainweird at 10/18/08 7:36PM
same here with #1

by whipsmile at 10/18/08 7:47PM
I think you have a Book Dependency, I should know because I have one too! :P

by excalibur at 10/19/08 9:41AM
I need to find time to go to a bookstore... I haven't gone to one in a long time. (I hate correcting food orders especially when my dad does it for me)

by mrsfionacharming at 10/20/08 12:19PM

No, I'm not dead... And neither am I!

at 08/09/08 10:16PM

I know, I know. I've been off for a while. Two weeks ago, I had the privilege (Nay, unrivaled pleasure!) of staying with his relatives and attend his cousin's wedding. Just though I'd share some pics. ^_^

A before pic of the lovely couple. ^_^
Dont they look alike?

Audrey and Luke. ^_^ Truely sweet people.
Odd-rey and Mucas. Yeah, sweet, somethin' like that.

Isn't she cute? I love that girl. ^_^
Just don't stare at her, she doesn't like it when you stare... ahem, inside joke.

Ah...what to say about this one...um...I was laughing alot during this trip.
"Hey there handsome, gimme some suga'?"
O_o....

Jonathan's mafia look. ^_^
"I don't DO smiles."

Dearest Hannah, from the side. ^_^ And Audrey. I miss you two!
Horrible Hannah and Atrocious Audrey... Two of my favorite verbal punching bags... I miss you two!

This rehearal dinner is brought to you by Aunt Laurie. ^_^ Isn't it pretty?
Get this- three forks. One for the food, one for use as a hair comb, and, well, one just incase you dropped fork #1 or #2. That's just plain classy.

Aunt Laurie at the rehearsal. ^_^
Aunt Laurie at the rehearsal- looking rather horrified. Maybe she discovered what I was using that second fork for.

The lovely couple at the rehearsal. ^_^
Nicknamed the beauty and the beast, they rejected my term- Pretty and Ugly. Together they can be Pretty Ugly. =D

Said couple cutting the cake. ^_^
Who cares about the couple, gimme some cake!

The groomsmen...and Uncle Doy...
The groomsmen... and a Mongolian Howler monkey.

I also got to meet the Hamiltons(adore them ^_^)and Teels. I also got to visit with Mama and Papa Teel( a real treat ^_^). I enjoyed visiting with you all!!

Soli Dio Gloria,
Laurie ^_^

To God be the glory,
Zaph'

you two work well together...

by donnajo at 08/09/08 10:24PM

by girl_husted at 08/09/08 10:54PM

by notcaptainweird at 08/12/08 8:26PM
...Mongolian howler monkey... was Darwin right???

by sugarkoen at 08/12/08 10:18PM
Hey Laurie! This is Kate, that very odd girl from the wedding who was on ya'lls plain back. I love the pictures! I hope your doing well!!!

by kattath at 08/13/08 2:11AM
Howler Monkey? Don't you know this means war...

by fezzik at 08/14/08 5:57PM
If I didn't know any better I'd say you're havin' a rockin' time with peeps and that one particular funny sir...A whole month with Joe! Sounds pretty fun, but I'm much in doubt that this is dangerous to your character...he kind of rubs off on people! Even on pleo!
God bless you both in the next few days you have together!

by the_rainy_dog at 08/28/08 11:47AM
*Whoops! I mean, I'm NOT much in doubt that it's dangerous to your character. In case you couldn't figure that one out. =P =D

by the_rainy_dog at 08/28/08 11:48AM
I LOVE YOU TOO!!! I miss you. The wedding was so fun. I can't wait to see you again!

by mrsfionacharming at 09/15/08 2:17PM
