As I've told a few people already, my typist is kind of unreliable, having time management issues, and I've again been away for several days and then trying to catch up. I wish I could have proper conversations with some people I miss. Everything's so chaotic and dramatic right now. The Order headquarters have suddenly seem to become reserved for

Comments

I know that we haven't really got to know each other properly, so I hope you won't take offence, but I was telling Harry how much he reminds me of you these days. Just from what I've observed of him and you both, how you react. I know that we exchanged owls a few weeks ago, perhaps, with your permission, I might owl you again? Stay in touch that way?

[redgoldlily]

Of course I won't take offence. I wish I had more of an opportunity to talk to Harry. Perhaps I ought to ask him about the possibility of owling, too. Especially since my typist is going to go internet-less for a while about a week and a half from now, so it makes any other communication even harder. Sure, you can owl me. I'd appreciate a little peaceful conversation.

I'd hardly call one night a 'dedication'. Even around that, there was a discussion about the Dark Lord's mysterious desire to kill his own, though somehow not much came of it because there was so little we could do about it. And between that...well, there are peaceful moments. I'm afraid your typist's unreliability is making you miss them. Perhaps we should all take another day off for Diagon Alley.

As for Dearborn, last I heard he was being restrained by McKinnon. I can't say for sure if he got any notes you sent him before that.

I wouldn't miss half as much because of my typist's unreliability if people weren't quite so obsessed with doing everything in chatrooms. While I wish she let me out to talk a bit more, I can understand her frustration that it seems to be impossible to properly participate here if you have a day job and plan to do other things beside it, such as write and have a social life. She simply can't be at the computer that much.

Like I said, I can't even figure out what the whole fight's been about anymore, but it looks to me like shouting's been going on for some time and I don't understand why that all is happening. Perhaps I'm missing out on something because I'm not in chats, but in any case.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you, Lily. Things have been...hectic. As for me, I've been trying to avoid the chat myself because it's simply too hectic for me. I don't seem to be missing out on much, though that's because I've made enough enemies on the journals alone. You know how I am. Actually, I may need to visit the chat anyhow, because, as my typist says, my son's become a chat-only 'pup'. It's depressing, really.

As for the fight, as a headmate of Dearborn's I can say with fair certainty the recent shouting is a rehash of something previously old and dead, that was not visited in the chat, and that hitherto was not interfering with what work the Order was doing. The Order's another place I need to visit. *sigh* For a recreational place, I'm certainly running myself ragged.

I've been thinking of sending you an owl to talk more as I would really like to. You can send me an owl anytime (either through the community or more directly through this thing called email if that's eaiser for you). If I hide away with Draco for half a day I miss a lot sometimes too so don't feel pressured to catch up on everything that goes on here. As long as you stay safe....

Is there something about the air of this place that makes everyone mad?

That's more or less my current theory.

[redgoldlily]

My typist said that you know things are going badly when Mordred is one of the few sane ones.

Given that she adores you, though, I don't think you should take that one badly.

[illgotten]

I'm perfectly sane! Not always pleasant, but sane. *grins*
