Hey
rane_ab, here's that drabble you were looking for.
Also,
sileas, I've decided we should have a big SW-fest and show
rane_ab The Phantom Menace. *nods* I'm even prepared to watch Attack of the Clones, too. And I'll provide snacks! Name your date, ladies. :)

Somewhere in the week-end (cheaper trains)? Next sunday (january 18)?
I've seen every Star Wars movie. *big wide smothering grin*
I own both the video's and dvd's of the prequels and the three video's of the original upgraded trilogy. And I still have three tapes from when I was about 6 when Star Wars was broadcasted on Dutch television in which Chewbacca gets called 'Pruimtabak'. The translations are terrible.
Should I bring chocolate, extra movies, books, porn, candy or anything else?

(Also: "Pruimtabak"! Bwahahah! I remember that! They still had that translation a year or six, seven ago, when I last saw the movies on TV.)
Sunday sounds good. What time? If you're planning on staying lateish, I can make us all dinner, even. :)

They still used that old translation? Damn, but that was a bad translation... I didn't notice it when I was a kid (I saw them for the first time before I could read), but I did notice it when I watched those old videotapes.
Around the same time like last time? Or maybe an hour earlier?
We'll have to ask rane_ab because her parents might get suspicious if we hold up her up for very long.

I'm currently watching Kanaaltwee and trying to figure out if they're not still using that translation. (They're phonetically writing down R2D2 and C3PO's names!)
Hm, sure thing. ^_^ Suspicious? How so? (If it makes any difference, if any parents would feel better if they'd talked to me themselves, they can call me and hear for themselves I'm not a creepy middle aged man. :)

*hehehe* I think I convinced my parents you two were real women. ;-)
But rane_ab didn't tell her parents she was going out with two unknowns from the Internet (she was supposedly out with a real life friend, if I'm not mistaken).

Exactly. Will definitely have to come up with a better excuse. I'm not supposed to do any leisurely internet-surfing, see, so... *ahem* There's no way I could have actually met you. I might get away with saying it's someone from Brussels, though... The problem with Sunday, however, is that I have to get up at 4:15 on Monday, so I definitely have to be back by ten (take the train around seven, I think... I'll have to check). And I have to babysit coming Saturday night, so let's not make it too early, either, please. *g* Twelve or one o'clock is probably OK. :-)

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And here you are. ;-) I definitely like your style.

*wince* Nobody should be forced to get up that early.

25 january (next sunday)
1 february (next after next sunday)

I'd prefer 'next sunday' or 'next after next sunday' myself, since I've got to hand in my webproject next week.

I'll grab the occasion to mention that I also read Curtains (from the inside out). I liked that one also. You do obviously like to analyse character's motivations! That's what I liked so much: Ron was perfectly IC. Just like him to not ask Hermione to marry him until he could give her the very best, and not to see the threat in Malfoy. He hates Malfoy, so he just expects everybody to. My favourite moment is perhaps when he claims that Harry always tries to see the best in people, which IMHO, isn't entirely true -- but that's exactly why I like it so much, because Ron would think that of Harry; he'd think the best of Harry, and because Harry is more tolerant than Ron, Ron thinks he is exceedingly so. And the fact that he did stick with Harry when they were finally paired off -- that he chose to stay with his best friend, is so very like Ron, too. I like it when a story teaches me some more about a character, in a way that feels true to canon. And you certainly have here! Nice analysis.

No, because I couldn't find the original. I may be blind, though; I'll have to check again, later. *scratches head*

And thank you for the praise re: Curtains, although I'm going to quibble with you over one minor point, namely: Harry. I think Harry does want to see the good in people a lot of the time--unless they do something the first time he meets them that puts him off, in which case he'll likely hate them forever (see: Snape, Sirius before Harry got some sense knocked into him, etc.)
But you were dead on with this:
[Ron] hates Malfoy, so he just expects everybody to.
Exactly. ^_^
