Oh. Ah, um ... lifestyle, yes.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Oh, look, er... I'm doing a series of informal seminar things on lifestyle, and how to generally get through things without having too bad a time of it. This term I think I can cope with a dozen or so students, so I think it's time to open the list and see who wants to sign up.

I'll get something organised in a week or so, I think. Yes, next week. Monday. Maybe.

Tell me who you are, and the sort of topic you'll want to discuss in the group.

Seminar now full.

Students (13, maximum 12): caroline_todd, _steele_, lauraholt, neptune_wallace, pure_blooddraco, rory__gilmore, _fleurdelacour, rosefern_todd, ___lily_evans_, comewillingly, magitekboy, deirdreofamber, ihatedenmark.

Topics requested: "Cheese", "early sixties sitcoms", "entertainment and liesure", "the basketball star kinda lifestyle", "muggles and their habits", "mid-eighties filmography", "escaping from unwanted mollycoddling", "loosening up", "behaving like a human being", "travel", "how to deal with pain and grief" and "how to kill my ill-bred usurping uncle". Some of those might have to be ... ahhh ... adjusted. But we'll do our best.

Comments

[caroline-todd.livejournal.com]

I'd be in Sir... as for topics? Well I wouldn't mind furthering my understanding of cheese or early sixties sitcoms?

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, I know very little of these things of which you speak, but I'll put them on the list.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_steele_/]

I can always help with early sixties sitcoms Sir, but the point is I'd like to join. How to generally get through things without having too bad a time of it sounds like something I would like to see about.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Well it's good to have help ... but I hope everyone in the group will have something to contribute.

[lauraholt.livejournal.com]

This looks interesting...count me in!

Entertainment and Leisure in lifestyle sounds intriguing...

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Entertainment sounds very lively. We'll have to see.

Leisure I'm all for.

[neptune-wallace.livejournal.com]

Learnin' about the basketball star kinda lifestyle? That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I'm very tall, but I have absolutely no talent for basketball.

Cricket's more my game. Frightfully bad taste, of course, but I happen to enjoy it.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

This is the class I need. My primary reason for being here is to learn about muggles and their habits. And dislikes. And weaknesses.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I can't find "muggles" in my copy of the guide. I think I know one of your former teachers -- we shared a stylist at one stage. I'll see if he knows anything.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Um...this former teacher you know...his name wouldn't be Dumbledore would it? Now there's a funny story...if you find falling out of astronomy towers funny that is.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that was him. I must look him out.

He's quite old ... I wonder if he's still alive?

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

He's quite old ... I wonder if he's still alive?

Erm...I have no idea. I know he took a bit of a tumble out of a tower but I um, didn't stay to find out if he was ok. I had to dash you know, school being attacked and all. Great man, that Albus Dumbledore. I'm practically his number one fan.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll be fine, he's quite robust for his age.

Well, if you and Albus got on well, you must be a fine young man.

Do you play cricket?

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

No, but I do play Quidditch. I'm pretty good at it too if I do say so myself.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Quidditch ... no, that's not in the Guide either. I should let it upgrade.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Don't bother - some people seem to think Quidditch is the end all be all of sports, but I find rather tiresome. I mean, what is the point? The team that catches the Snitch always wins, because it's 150 bloody points. I don't understand why Potter and some others worship it so

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Malfoy? There's a Lucius a few years above me in school... I was a prefect at Hogwarts, in line for Head Girl - why haven't I seen you around?

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Lucius Malfoy is my father. I believe this school has some special power that makes it able to bridge the generation gap. I think you are a generation above me, but I can't really wrap my mind around that too well because you are smoking hot. I myself was a prefect at Hogwarts and the best bet for Head Boy, if I wasn't forced to come here.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

I would dearly love to sign up for this, and to suggest mid-eighties filmography as a topic, if that's all right.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

We're glad to have you on board. I was quite busy in the mid-eighties, but not in films.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fleurdelacour/]

I would like to sign up for zis class, Professor, if zere is still a space?

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

We still have a few spaces. That nice young Draco tells me you have a charming accent, but I miss all these subtleties because of the fish in my ear.

[rosefern-todd.livejournal.com]

I'd like to sign up sir.

I like to suggest the topic 'Escaping from unwanted mollycoddling', if possible.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

We're more likely to be doing "adjusting to unwanted mollycoddling", but we'll see where the mood of the group lies.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

I've been told I need to.. ahem... "loosen up," and this course sounds like it may be useful in doing so.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Very glad to have you here. You may be able to help that fine-looking blond lad out with the whole "muggles" thing, which I still can't find any Guide references for.

[comewillingly.livejournal.com]

Um, I'd like to sign up please if it's not too late.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

It's not too late, I'm stopping at twelve students. Good to have you here.

[magitekboy.livejournal.com]

When I left for this place, my supervisor at the lab was yelling something on the lines of "And don't come back before you've learned to behave like a human being". I suppose he meant something like this.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I hope I'm not going to have any disruption as a result of you and Terra being in the same class. I'm already watching Draco and Rory.

Welcome to the group.

[magitekboy.livejournal.com]

Terra...? *eyes the room suspiciously*

*mumbles something that sounds like 'surely that bint is locked up for good'*


[OOC: We've been pretending that we haven't noticed each other yet. Not sure why. For maximum drama, perhaps. Which is why we're signing up for the same classes. Sorry it had to be yours. ;)]

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

Is there still room in your seminar? I would like to participate if there is still a place available. As for topic, well, I am intersted in ... oh, it is hard to explain. Travel. I am interested in travel and how to arrive where you are wanting to be without making your companions crazy or losing internal integrity. Oh! *sigh* I am just interested in Travel. Let's leave it at that. It's safest.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

You have the last available slot -- but see what I said to Hamlet, below. Travel's fine ... I've done a lot of that since I joined CamTim.

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

Thank you for letting me in.

I wouldn't mind being number thirteen at all though.

(ooc:it is my real life lucky number, *snerk*)

I look forward to explorations.

I understand family tribulations as well, do tell Hamlet he has my sympathies.

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Hey. I got your invitation, and seeing how miserable my life has been over the last year or so, I guess I could use something like this. I suppose if you could help me figure out how to deal with my pain and grief, and how to kill my ill-bred usurping uncle to avenge my father's murder, I'd be most appreciative.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, what it is, is that we're full.

Oh, look, I can squeeze in an extra one, so long as you don't mind being thirteenth. Since I invited you and everything.

Pain and grief is no fun at all. They wouldn't let me do the new Africa with fjords. *sigh*

You want to kill your uncle? Well, if he's supposed to be dead, if he's only alive because someone's been mucking about again...
