Ah, you're gonna have to read Shakespeare, if for nothing more than to give us amusement when you rant about the insanity of it. *g*

Haven't figured out whistling yet? I didn't try to learn till the summer before I went to college--took me the whole summer, but I finally got it . . . had to sit around blowing between my teeth foolish-looking for a while.

No roller-skating? The things I will have to teach you someday . . . *g*

...This is also why Cath insists in linking me to YouTube clips from the fourth HP movie every time we meet on MSN. So that she can hear me rant about how poorly done it is :p Who knew my ranting could be so amusing - to more than one people, even!!

Yeah, I've yet to figure out whistling... kinda given up on it, to be honest. Although it would be fun.

And yay, roller-skating! I would very much like to learn roller-skating.

See ya,
Anna.
