I'll R&R your story later, but I have to tell you something else first. I am of course back from Oregon, MUCH later than I was expecting due to a never ending trip into the wilderness with my elder sister's family. Anyway, the first thing I did when I regained access to the internet is write Misty a message, which contained a invitation to go see the Lady in the Water. I must now remain glued to my seat waiting her reply.

^^ I hope she accepts! You must let me know right away if she does.

She has not gotten back to me yet! At this moment a rejection is looking almost preferable to all of this intolerable waiting. :-/

I know she doesn't like to get onto the computer considering that she is on it all day at work, but yeesh. I am only going to have a couple more weeks before I go to visit my father in Kansas.

If you know she doesn't check her mail very often than I don't think you should be to worried. If a month goes by without a response then I would say you might not get one. But don't give up hope yet ^^

Do you not have internet access at your Dad's? How long are you going to be staying there?

Internet access?? *Struggles to contain laughter* He doubt he even owns a DVD player! Heck, he only bought an air conditioner a couple of years ago.

I had this dream not too long ago in which I ran into Misty on the UNR campus. For some reason she had blonde hair...and was taking a class about Samurai. We briefly sat down and talked by a stream which was located in front of the library for some reason.

I have just read your fanfic. I will make comments later as I now have to return to bed (originally I only got up this late to brush my teeth and check my messages).

Oh, I read a little (emphasis on little) research on the East India Company. It was formed under Elizabeth I in the begining of the 1600s so there is little chance of determining the movie's date from the presence of the Company. However, if you catch the company's flag in the film it can give you some info. Before 1707 and the official union between England and Scotland and the creation of Great Britain, their flag looked remarkably similiar the United States flag on instead of the blue and stars there was a canton of the flag of England (St. George's Cross) which was a white field with a red cross. After the union they flew the flag of the Great Britian which looks almost just like the Union Jack of today.

Wait... enro_nevada August 5 2006, 12:00:58 UTC

George I didn't become king until 1714....rendering eveything I just wrote completely meaningless.

Re: The Waiting is the hardest part ameyao_roinyi August 5 2006, 12:09:08 UTC

Here is something I wrote in a community when the topic of when is PotC set came up...

I always figure it takes place in the early 1720's ( ... )

Re: The Waiting is the hardest part enro_nevada August 5 2006, 20:29:16 UTC

Well it certainly can't be any earlier than 1714 because George was not King until then. So the years proposed seem right. i wanted to examine the clothing to get a notion of the period, but alas I do not own a copy of the film. So instead I just had a general session of reading about costume. I want a tricorne hat so badly...

I read somewhere that Queen Anne may have had a lesbian relationship with an ancestor of Winston Churchill.

The EIC depicted in the film has almost no bearing in real history. I don't believe that the EIC ever actually did any trading in the Caribbean, at least I can't seem to find any records saying so. I'm pretty sure they just stayed in the East Indies as that area was rich enough that they didn't need to go anywhere else. But by the time the movie takes place they were having many legal problems in Britain and there were several laws passed in Parliament to diminish their power. They were also fighting with the Dutch East India Trading Company for control of Indian trade. So I think it's a little silly for the EIC to be the villain in the movie since they really didn't have anything to do with that area of the world (and they certainly didn't control England)

Re: The Waiting is the hardest part enro_nevada August 5 2006, 20:34:02 UTC

I just came to the conclusion that Mr. whateverhisnamewas was despatched to the Caribbean to obtain the Dead Man's Chest for the company. After all, having control over it would give the company considerable power on the seas. That doesn't explain why the company has an office there though, especially one which seems to be uite permanant due to the map being painted on the wall (was it the wall??)
