First things first - scarlatti's back! Yay!

However, perhaps to balance things out, gamesiplay is disappearing for a week.

And thirdly - language_idling - I've been trying to tell you this for a while, but LJ has been being squiffy. I got your postcard! My family neglected to inform me of its arrival until yesterday, when they casually inquired if I knew anyone in Montreal. The mind boggles as to how a postcard addressed to "Iona" couldn't be for me. How many people named Iona do they know?

Fourthly - A-level results. Good luck, everyone, not that you need it. GCSEs are a week from today, apparently. I have a feeling that I'll be somewhat freaked out by then.

And fifthly - I actually have plans for today. In a strange break from tradition, purplerainbow and I are meeting and spending the day together. Anyone else we could have invited is in Cornwall/Butlins/Spain/the Maldives/Switzerland/some such place. We plan to buy beads and talk a lot, which is not such a break from tradition. I ought to finish getting dressed and do my hair, as I'm going to be late.

And there you go, that's all. Oh, yes, one more thing - I've got a fic going on at the moment, light, fluffy, mostly gen and no angst - features Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs in their heyday. I need ideas for practical jokes, in other words. Anyone?

Hmm...practical jokes...TLD and I used to play awful ones on each other, but they're all stupid...I'm sure once I get to Interlochen I'll have some better ones...let's see...

TLD removed the screen in his bedroom window so that he could go sit on the roof, so one day my friend and I passed all of his books, all of his clothes, anything that could fit through the window through it and onto the roof, and then left it there.

He retaliated by putting soap on my toothbrush.

There was a girl in my fourth grade class back in Catholic schoolwho always fell asleep, so one time, after she'd been snoozing for a good hour, our entire class and the teacher snuck out of the room (closed the blinds, turned off the lights, generally made it look like everyone had left for the day) and stayed in the hallway until she woke up. We heard loud noises of panic coming from the room.

And then, of course, all of the lovely pranks we pulled on each other during Mass...the sixth graders switched the communion bread with gummi bears one time...the upperclassmen alter boys put brandy in the goblets instead of the wine...in fourth grade, me and two of my friends put stink bombs in the incense holders. Oh, that one was good. And then stupid ones, like switching the communion goblets with dribble glasses.

That's all I can think of right now...can't wait to read the fic!

The roof one is perfect. I'm thinking of using that one in the fic. I have to ask about the kids and teacher all sneaking out, though - the teacher went along with it? Sounds fun! And so does brandy instead of communion wine!

Everyone else has a much more interesting life than me...

Yeah--the teacher decided that since yelling at the girl to stop falling asleep hadn't worked, maybe scaring the pants off her would.

My teachers *always* went along with stuff like that...
