Before I forget, Dallas has been postponed. Not cancelled, but postponed. We figure maybe March, but I'll post once I know more.

In more important news, last night's Truth or Dare turned out fantastic. Ten people wrote drabbles and short fics! The lovely

organic_chemist has compiled a list of who prompted whom together with links to the various fics here.

I was prompted by Hermione Weasley (again!), but at least there was no mention of essence. Aren't I lucky? She wanted to know how the founders came up with a name for the school, so I wrote The Founders' Dilemma because, really, a simple naming with a name everyone agreed on just isn't likely, is it? ;) However, the story doesn't stop here.

writermerrin showed a very glorious, evil side and fed a teensy, tiny plot bunny that was nabbing at my feet. It now has grown to thus far unknown dimensions. ~~I will have to refrain from looking at the queue or beta jobs until I'm done writing it.~~ Really, it's grown huge. Her reasoning was that there aren't enough Founders' fics around. *snrt* So, now Lucius has walked off in a huff, visiting friends (beware, writers! He does have a tendency to turn up rather unexpectedly!) while I'm claiming a need for girls' time with Rowena.

In most important news, Squeefest Memphis is approaching fast. OMG! *squeeeeeeee* I made lemon curd; it came out beautiful and very tasty. The manchego is slowly aging at ten degrees lower than it's supposed to, but that doesn't affect the taste so far. The feta is aging in the brine, and another batch of paneer is hanging over the sink.

Does anyone know if using street chalk on a public road is an offense? Or will we get away with it?

I was about to send you a message about tomorrow. The day was looking pretty hectic for me, so I'm kind of glad it got postponed. I'm looking forward to March!

Hope you had a lovely weekend! :)

Weekend was fantastic, thank you! :)

I'll put up another post when I know for definite what the date is going to be. Am still looking forward to meeting up again.

I'd say we try it anyway - most of us are out of towners, can get away with pleading dumb :D

Yup, the more I think about it, the more I'm in favour of it. Muahaha.

OK thanks, I was wondering about the 9th.

Street chalk, if washable, I dont see why not...but check anyway.

I think it'll be safe, as it's only going to be on the sidewalk and in the apartment complex. *shrugs* If not, I'm sure we'll be told, lol.

I'll put up a post when I know the new date for Dallas.

As long as it isn't permanent and does not direct drivers to do unsafe things, street chalk is fine. Otherwise the jails would be filled with small children...

Sorry I'll miss squee-fest this time around. :( Eat lots of cheese for me! I will bug you via IMs when you have guests. Cuz that's how I roll. ;)

Oh, I'll eat plenty of cheese for you. *grins*

Are you still planning to come down on a different w/end? *looks hopeful*

Kids write on the sidewalks and streets all the time here with chalk and at the Uni I work at, the 'greek' students use the public sidewalks like billboards during their recruiting time (I don't know what it's called. as you can tell, I'm not 'greek' lol).

I would steer clear of using all yellow just for public safety reasons - you know their will be some fools that just have to read the message and if they get distracted it could turn ugly. At least with pink or green or blue, if that does happen, you can point out that it obviously wasn't a public notice since it wasn't yellow.

Pink or green is definitely a better colour than yellow. Now to find the stuff. The Dollar store didn't have any. *pouts* I guess I'll have to check the craft store...

I have to hit a few stores tomorrow, I'll see what I can find

So sorry I missed the opportunity to meet you! We moved rather quickly and now I'm 6 hours north of Texas.

We're in a rental, but sans extra family. Yay!

Yeah, that really was a fast move! But if you're happy there, then it was definitely a good move! :) Shame, though, about meeting.

I think once we get into our own home (vs a rental, but even a rental is better than where we were) then I can completely unpack and make it my own. That will be very nice.

squeeeeffeeeeessssstttttt! squeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

and - so is that why lucius was lurking around my computer yesterday? because you've been neglecting him?

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! Three days! OMG!

Oh, that's where he went? Sheesh. He was a bit touchy about me wanting to speak with Rowena. *shakes head*
