pastariffic you HAVE to go to Princeton now. You've already sealed an oath in blood to have the geekiest PP and HP get-togethers ever! If you go I'll be your theatre buddy! Funny, I have the same worry as your dad. I'm not going to be a music or theatre major, but that stuff has been practically my whole life so far, and I want to be able to continue at Princeton.

Welcome LaRemidito! I'm from Washington, so we're practically neighbors. Good to see another northwesterner representing on the scary east coast.

You guys are like my soulmates! PP, Snape-lovers, thespians! Aah!

pastariffic: where else are you considering? Come to Princeton!!!

I'm definitely doing theater at Princeton. Not as a major, as an activity. My favorite is musical theater, so the Princeton University Players are looking really good. Our musical just ended here, and I'm going through withdrawal!

Just a note about the 7th Harry Potter book: they usually come out in July, which means we'll be at home for the release. So that midnight party might have to be a re-read party.

I just found out that I can't go to April Hosting. Not that I was invited (EDer) but I was going to drive up for the day. But I'll be in Chicago for Spring Break...

Come on pastariffic, how can you pass up Potterite Pride and Prejudice Princetonites? Or alliteration, for that matter? You should come to the party anyway even if you're not going to Princeton, just take a day off from wherever you DO go so you can show up.

Yeah, I agree with Snape good, my only qualm is that I still don't think he's a good person, he just isn't on t he bad side. He is WAY too mean to Neville to have any redeeming character, if you ask me.

And yes, Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny all the way. I cannot WAIT for RH to FINALLY get together.

I also cannot WAIT for September 7. If everyone at Princeton is like you guys, I am soooooooo happy I'm going there. Not that I'm not so happy I'm going there anyway, haha, but I just cannot imagine a better college experience than with some Austen/Rowling fans, though I might have to battle it out with elphaba over which one of is currently engaged to marry Colin Firth.

elphaba88

lol! I'm so happy there's normal people here!

glinda, what's the Princeton University Players like? Is it musical theatre, open to non-majors? b/c that's exactly what I want!

Alumother

And not to mention the Triangle Club - musical theater written by students and DEFINITELY open to non-majors.

glinda

That's exactly what it is! It's an extracurricular group dedicated to musicals. Hope to see you there in the fall!

I would do musical theater if I could sing... *sigh*
What do you all know about non-musical theater? I know there's the Sheakespeare Co. and then Theatre Intime... do you think there'll be fun stuff for a non-hardcore like me?

elphaba88

woot! PUP did The Secret Garden. I was just in that show!

bookfreak89

Wow. Harry Potter fans. *swoons* I think that Snape will show his true colors in the seventh book. I personally believe he'll be on the good side and help the Order of the Phoenix. Some people believe that Dumbledore isnt really dead, that he'll come back to life in the 7th book. 0.o

I haven't seen Pride and Prejudice unfortunately.

pastariffic

Heyyyy good news, Potterite Pride and Prejudice Princetonites! I just visited Carleton this weekend, and it looks like I'm coming to Princeton in the fall! I had a fantastic time, but it was a little too laidback for me. I'm used to a sort of intense academic environment and fellow students who make me think, so I think Princeton is the place for me. Besides - I can't miss out on our Austen/Rowling/tea/theatre group! So ... er ... count my blood about 99% in :-D

And might I say ... more Ron/Hermione Harry/Ginny shippers AND Snape supporters? I'm liking Princeton more and more every second!

I actually started a thread on HPANA once about how Jane Austen influenced JK Rowling. Austen is one of Jo's favorite writers, and that shows in her character relationships a good deal. Simply fascinating.

Yayyy!!

bookfreak89

WELCOME pastariffic!!

Yaaaaaaaaay! Oh, pastariffic, I'm so excited! We're gonna get to be friends! Real life, not-on-the-internet friends!

haha, I'm a big dork.

elphaba88

Woohoo!!!!!!!

pastariffic

Ahhhh! Isiaj1, I'm excited too!! *dances around in silly string* Thanks bookfreak89! I'm holding every one of you to this plan. Every single one.

Which means, elphaba88, that you'd better not be thinking about BYU anymore ... if I arrive in the fall and you're not there, I'm going to feel horribly betrayed. So just remember that when you make your decision. Pastariffic is WATCHING YOU.
