Phan Slang
Because you guys need to know what I'm on about at times. But only at times, or else this blog would be very different. A dictionary of Phantomy lingo. Hopefully you'll enjoy.
ALW - Abbreviation of Andrew Lloyd Webber, often used to mean the PotO version he composed.

Before I close, allow me to tell you I will unfortunately be in Hawai'i for the next week, and probably won't post. Woe is me, for various reasons involving blogs and castles. Terribly sorry, Ben. I love that no one but me and Ben understood a word of what I just said.
Also, could the anonymous commentor from last post please own up? I'm not angry with you, but I am a bit put out. What did I do? Is that you, Liana? At least, dear, tell me what crime I'm guilty (or not, as may be) of. My eternal gratitude.
I remain, gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant,
J.G.

Well actually sane personage probably got that one too. I'm if not prouf then at least mildly amused that I already knew most of that lingo.
Hawaii? Hmmm. As a matter of fact, David just got back from Hawaii, interestingly enough. He wants to write a screen play. Oh dear.
Anyways, have fun in Hawaii. I can only imagine what these comments will be like when you get back. Perhaps a new record, then?
I knew most of it too.
Can I sqee at you?
Oh Kat, you just had to provoke him didn't you?
i've an owwie. 1st degree burns on my face and 2nd degree burns on my wrist and shoulder. 3 hours in the ER. going to Burn Center tomorow. Will be fine. Double Broiling hurts
Um... how'd ya do that? First degree burns? Ouch. You're not kidding. WHAT HAPPENED?
I swear... one day without Kat and we already have people in the burn ward. Man.
You guys really do need me. I'm touched. Max, what on earth happened? Are you all right? How do you always get into these things? And worry us like anything? Evil boy. Wow, I really hate the computer at this hotel to an extent almost impossible.
In other news, Kat has found a new good book. Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett collaboration - thank the Gods. I adore both of those writers. Coraline is the most wonderfuly disturbing book ever. But the book that's a collab is called Good Omens. It's about the end of the world. I have no doubt they stole from our dear Mr. Adams, but I forgive them because, well, they're just them, if you see what I mean.
Max, please let us know you're OK. And Kat, what about A Wild Sheep Chase?
:::retreats into shadows:::
Well, at least you have an internet connection, eh? Speaking of which, I've still got some reading to do. There's my school summer reading books, and the Hollywood Animal, which I've been reading of and on, and then of course I have to read PotO.
Kat is in Hawaii, Max is in the burn ward, and yet here I am at hope typing away at my computer. Its times like these that make me feel almost sane.
uh, ben, second degree burns are worse than first degree burns, and third degree burns are worse than 2nd degree burns. muahaha, i hit you all with useless knowledge
ill be fine. no scars. but i cant go in the sun for 2 months
That is truly cruel. It's summer, for Persian's sakes. Life's just not fair, is it? Next blog posting - The Dangers of Gift Baskets.
what happened, and i know it isnt fair. I could go out in the sun and be scared for life...
i think im going with no sun - normal looking max
Right. Look what happened to everyone's favorite scarred man. Died of a broken heart underground without a friend, after falling in love with a particularly grating spineless brat of about sixteen, and he was fifty. Well, without a friend except an annoying cat and an even more annoying Persian who gave him advice on absolutely everything. (I can love Nadir and still think he's annoying. It's one of those things about being a Phantom.) And as for the Wild Sheep Chase, ne'er did I realize the magnetic power of ears. I must look into this.
Also, I thought my dear mother had called to tell you about the castle business, which is why I was so casual about it. I would have loved to go, I'm so sorry I can't.
No problem, I assure you. There is another of such events next month, so nothing to worry about if your still interested.
And really nobody has any idea what we're talking about, do they?
uh, ben, second degree burns are worse than first degree burns, and third degree burns are worse than 2nd degree burns. muahaha, i hit you all with useless knowledge
Yes, I was just informed of that today in fact.
