I have a favor to ask.

And yeah, I'm asking you lot cause you're the good guys and you won't let me down. Feel proud. I'm also posting it here because I really don't want the oldies to know.

Look. Can someone make sure you get one extra copy of Order of the Phoenix for me? I, uh, suggested that I go out and buy one to Magneto yesterday, or order it from Amazon, and well.

I don't think he'll be that keen for me to go see RotK when it comes out either. (I still haven't seen Matrix Reloaded either.)

Man, this blows.

So. Uh. Anyone?

If you don't mind me reading it first, sure. Mom keeps telling me I shouldn't deny her a slam-dunk birthday present opportunity, but hell, that's a month away, and it doesn't count if I'm buying it for somebody else.

There someone here I can give it to so it'll get to you, or a PO box or something? Not altogether keen on the sneaking out myself.

Uh, yeah. There are people I'm still in contact with.

And I have no fucking idea who you are, but. Thanks. Really.

I'm the fucking clueless one who reads children's books. :)

'Course, I also hang around with a genius quite a bit, and she says I shouldn't write you off, so there you go. Let me know sometime next week who I should give the book to.

Well. Yeah. I mean, I read Harry Potter and C.S. Lewis and Diane Wynne Jones and Piers Anthony and...I should probably shut up right now before I sound like a real geek.

Oh? Kitty? Yeah. She's cool.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Kitty is very cool.

And nothing wrong with sounding like a geek. You ever tried Joel Rosenberg? I bet you'd get a kick out of some of his characters. Or Diane Duane?

Re:

Diane Duane! DUDE. Are we talking about the Wizard books, or the Tale of the Five sequence?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

This is an either-or question? Tale of the Five has the coolest dragons ever, and I don't even want to get into how often I used to hang around the career shelves in the library looking for my copy of the Manual. I still need to get the new Wizard book, though.

Re:

I like the wizard books a lot, but the Tale of the Five, man...that really opened my eyes as a thirteen year old, yeah?

Re:

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

It was a lot different from most of the books I'd read until then, yeah. But once I got used to it that just made it better.

Makes me wonder what would happen if somebody wrote a book where the main characters were mutants.
