My sister is a neo-luddite.

But I always knew that. From day one my sister has shown a total lack of empathy for computers, and downright fear. When my niece Margaret was around three, my sister and brother-in-law Don bought a used computer for her to use in college, (they were planning on storing it in a closet I believe). My Dad and I were horrified, (Dad had 32 computers by this time). "They're afraid," He exclaim in disbelief, "of a computer!" Yep.
Eventually Don got over this, and has gone on to take classes at Locheed, enabling him to put a computer together from scratch. But my sister, while she has learned to write letters on the computer and search for items to buy, never really has.
So why am I surprise to talk to my sister and find out that A. she hasn't visited this log yet (and probably never will) and has no interest in blogging with me or B. with our English relatives. On the plus side, I can write whatever I want to about her and she will never know! BaHaHa!! (Evil Snidley Whiplash laughter!!!} I twirl my invisible moustache! Oh wait! It's not that invisible. Must find good tweezers soon.

Went to Harry Potter Fan Club meeting last night at Barnes & Nobel. A problem looms on the horizon. . . I'm a poseur. I really do like Harry Potter, but don't own the books. My best friend and roommate M. does. I've found it rather hard to get the books from her (I refuse to have two sets in one house, she can't read all of them at the same time now can she?). So I'm only read them once, and not all of them (I think) at that. Also, her friend B.and her, have their own private fan club thing going on about Harry Potter. So, for me and M., it's Lord Of The Rings, M. and B., Harry Potter.
However, the leader of the fan club says she's going to start asking us to participate, now that we have gone to two meetings and I'm stuck. I spent last night smiling, while thinking "Who the heck is Creature and why does he have it bad against mudbloods?" I asked M. when we left, about who Creature is and yes, now I know he's the Black's house elf. Apparently, he's suppose to become important to the story line.
ON the plus side, I now know I'm not alone in thinking that Snake is noble and sexy. All of us women over 35 chimed in with our admiration of him. Yes he will prove himself on the side of good, (probably by dieing for the good side,)while at the same time realizing that Harry is not a bad egg. So I have a month to bone up on Creature, Ron Weezley, and I forget who the third is.
