HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? I cried a little... :'(

A truckload of stuff happened these past two days, but I'll try to be brief about it. :)

Guys, it's done. I sent off the Draco/Asteria one-shot, so I guess that makes it official. callarose, open_atclose and starduchess made it possible! ♥♥♥ I am so excited to read what everyone else has written for the big bang! Also, now I can fully

Isn't it just worrying when something everyone has been hyping up as hard doesn't seem to be? I'm always like "what did I miss?" thinking that some how I must have missed something very very important in doing well.

Anyway, congratulations, I hope you did as well as you feel about it. I'm always impressed when people can learn a second language that well (or a third, you speak French too, right?). I took 2 years of German in HS and still have trouble just reading a menu there.

Regarding phones, I always liked my 2 Nokia candybar style phones I had. Unfortunatly Nokias aren't very popular here, so most providers don't have them. Then again, I do really like the Motorola Droid I got this time around.

Yes! The moment I had finished answering all the questions and seen that there were still twenty minutes left, it seemed obvious that I had missed something because it was too good to be true. I guess we'll see; either I mucked it all up, or the guy scribbling away until the last second did.

Honestly, I don't know how it happened with English, but I know I wish I was half as fluent in French. Why German, if I may ask? I thought nowadays people studied Spanish.

candybar style just made me smile. Funny that they're not popular, if I'm not mistaken Nokia is a best-seller around here... I've never owned anything else. Oh, Motorola! I really liked the start up tone on my sister's phone, Motorolas always look so techy and sleek! :)

But that would make too much sense :) My school offered three languages, Spanish, French, and German. I ruled out French because I'm bad enough at spelling in English and everything I've seen French is worse with all the silent letters and such. And Spanish, well that just seemed too practical; there was a very large Mexican migrant population where I grew up. Also, chances are I would have been in a class with a bunch of native speakers who were looking for an easy "A" and they would have ruined the grading curve. So I chose German. Which actually worked out of the best as I've actually been to Germany for work, but haven't made it to Spain or Mexico, or France for that matter. Umm well I guess I've been to Belgium too and they speak some French there. But I've only spent a week in Belgium vs. a couple months in Germany

Great progress, says the drop-outer. Can't wait to see those fics.

I wanna see the play! I wanna see the play! All of your teasers are torturing my curiosity.

I said that you'd ace it, didn't I? Though I thought the 3rd part of the speaking test was discussion. I remember actually having a conversation with my examiner, but he had to talk less than me of course. Seemed to be a nice guy, btw. Maybe that's why it wasn't so boring.:P

And because I'm to lazy to write an email: I didn't succeed with D's hand at 1st try, so I left it there and shaded H's hair for a change. Then I forgot all about it and continued with the dress. That's how I won't be able to draw it without it ending up looking like Blaise's hand :( I decided to move his hand to... hehe. I love our theory. Wonder what the writer would do to explain this, though. Anyway, is that bunny of yours still alive?

Disclaimer: I meant 'your theory'. If only someone decided to give my a paid-account.

Ooh you wrote for RC Phase I too! Did you sign up for Phase II? (:

[silvia_elisa]

Seriously, how did we miss each other until now? ;) You know, I've been thinking about it, but I really should be focusing on my uni stuff this summer.

Maybe I'll sign up as a pinch-hitter? Idk. What about you? Are you signing up??

[elektra30]

If only fandom > RL on the priority chart! XD I've been writing Dramione for years, but only came to know of the community end last year, so in a way, I'm still relatively new compared to everyone else! DBB Phase I was my first challenge, really (:

Yep I signed up! Pinch-hitting is not obligatory, so why not give it a go! :D

[silvia_elisa]

Temptress! I sooooo want to sign up for the whole deal now! I love working with art - I thought it'd be harder, but it's so much fun!

If only fandom > RL on the priority chart!

THIS! And me too. My first challenge was for Valentine's Day, but DBB was the first big thing.
