(no subject)

So – Chapter 26 made it up on time, after all – aren’t I amazing? I’m stunned, myself. I don’t think it’s as much of a cliffhanger as last time, and hope it cleared some stuff up and raised more questions. I estimate two more chapters to this fic.

Because I’m having such a hard time with ff.net lately, aspenlight (aka authoress of A Year Like None Other) has graciously extended an invitation to post at Skyehawk.com – which as an invitation only fan fiction site. I’ll keep you posted as I figure everything out and start positng stuff there. Thanks, Aspen!

In the meantime – don’t read the responses to the reviews if you don’t want to have the chapter spoiled for you.

Pigwidgeon - Mwah! Sorry – I often stay up WAY later than I should trying to catch up on my reading. I’ll never be caught up, I don’t think. I felt really bad for Lupin – this was the absolute last thing he wanted to happen to Connor, and the Rupert had to go and be a jerk. Sweeper doesn’t know about Connor’s ability, but I wouldn’t put him above trying to get Connor in trouble by having him running all over the castle when he’d been told to go see the Head Mistress. As for what is going to happen at the next full moon – do you really think I’m going to give that away yet? Lol! Nice try – Depending on how the next chapter goes, you might find out in the next one, but most likely in the last chapter. Stay tuned!

dizzy lizzy - Thank you! I’m assuming you’re talking about Foreshadowing the Unexpected- there is a prequel to it, if you’re interested in checking it out some time!

You Know You're From Arizona When...

You've signed so many petitions to recall governors you can't remember the name of the incumbent. You notice your car overheating before you drive it. You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water. You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink. You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching. YSou can be in the snow, then drive for an hour...and it will be over 100 degrees. You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot. You can make sun tea instantly. You run your a/c in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace. The best parking is determined by shade.....not distance. You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance. Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one. It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people. You actually burn your hand opening the car door. Sunscreen is sold year round, kept right at the checkout counter. You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box. Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse.....some fools actually try to jog. You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon. No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car. You see two trees fighting over a dog. You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves You can pronounce"Saguaro", "Tempe", "San Xavier", "Canyon de Chelly", "Mogollon Rim", and "Cholla" You can understand the reason for a town named "Why" You can fry an egg on the hood of a car IN THE MORNING! You hear people say "but it's a DRY heat!" You buy salsa by the gallon. Your Christmas decorations include sand and l00 paper bags. You think a red light is merely a suggestion. All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April. You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever. Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los." You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard. Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof. Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer. Most homes have more firearms than people. Kids will ask, "What's a mosquito?" People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts. You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts. If you haven't worked for Motorola at some time, you must be a newcomer. You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Arizona.
