Emilias ramblings

Hey all,
These are my ramblings(SP anyone???), because I really don't know what 2 say. Well here I am, and the weather is no Caribbean day here in Risskov, but nice none the less. You can definitely tell its getting to be fall here and I'm really getting good use of my beautiful fleece.

Harry Potter, another good subject for rambling :-P as you may know, HBP was not my favorite book. No my favorite book so far has been GOF, then OOP, then POA, then SS(English PS),THEN HBP, and finally COS. I have been spending alot of time on the computer, now a days, and mostly it has been a share of emails(evarr1@yahoo.com) or mugglenet. A Harry Potter site usually advertised as the ULTIMATE Harry Potter site. Anyway, I mostly go on there and read the Fan Fiction. Some people on there, write really really really good stories. I mostly read about romance(strictly G-PG rated:-D) my ships are:Harry-Ginny, Ron-Hermione, Lupin- Tonks, and finally James and Lily. im not exactly a Die hard shipper, but i really want these characters to be happy together.

well, currently thats all i really want to say, and oh! i had a really nice birthday.


so, love

Emilia, Emilie, Mille, or Emmy:-)

Report from Poland

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have a very 19th century experience, that is, a long train journey. How civilized to sit in a dining car with the lovely German and Polish countryside flying by as one slices into a fine steak or sips the excellent Polish Wyziec brew. A lot better than going through security at DIA, I'll tell you that!

My first stop was Frankfurt am Main to see Erik Liesenberg (CRS '84) and his lovely wife Esther and 1-year old boy Fritzie. Then on to Warsaw where I met up with dozens of Camp Rising Sun alumni of all ages. The majority of the reunioners were female this time, a first I think for a major CRS reunion, and an artifact of the Stendis camp being girls-only. Martin Rybczynski was there from Colorado, and also the Engbers from New York, McKinney Russell from DC and many more.

After the weekend was over, I stayed in Warsaw for 2 additional days to take in the sights and history together with Mike and Margie Engber - Old Town, Saxon Gardens (a trivial pursuit question, one I got wrong if I recall), the Ghetto and Umschlagsplatz, the Jewish Cemetery, and various castles. Overall I was very impressed with Warsaw as a leading European capital to be compared with Prague, Amsterdam or Copenhagen: great food, culture, architecture (that's right, it's not all Communist!) and bustling city life. I would happily go back again!

To catch you up on the Novel, I spent much of my 30 hours on the train editing, and I now have 21 chapters edited (of 50 or so). Ideally, I will have a completely edited draft of the whole thing by October.
