This is Dani Smith

 

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne. I am a writer in Texas. I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies. I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate. I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough. Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas. If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing. Don’t be a stealer. Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Overheard

    Posted on DateTuesday, February 26, 2008 at 1:36PM

    Sonar X7 talking to Sonar X4 about yesterday’s recess activities.

    Well, we were playing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, At The Ministry of Magic, when Harry is fighting the Death Eaters. Mixed with Indiana Jones (I was Harry and D—- was Indiana Jones). Then N—- came over and started growling and stomping and told us he was a T-Rex and that none of our spells would work on him. (exasperated sigh with eye roll) *THEN* E—- wanted to play Harry Potter, Book 5 too, but he just didn’t get it. (shrug) But D—- is really obsessed with Star Wars, so he wanted to play that instead. (disappointed head shake) Sometimes it seems like no one really wants to play the games I want to play.

    (Looking up hopefully) So, do you think we could play hide-and-seek?

    *rofl*

    I can SO see Sonar X7 saying all that. And then Sonar X4 shrugging noncommittally and saying, "I guess. As long as I can be Wolverine from X-men."

    I like CM's idea of HP at the day spa...and winery...and...four star restaurant only you can wear whatever the heck you want...and...

    ;-)

    Oh no, rather, Sonar X4 prefers always to be the Bird King (his own creation).

    Would we wear wizard robes and use magic on our spa/winery/restaurant retreat? Or could I wear Mrs. Weasley's housecoat all day?
