Harry Potter question

[dr4b]

I don't follow the fan sites at all, so I just realized something weird while thinking about it on the bus this morning, and I'm sure this has come up elsewhere: if in every year at Hogwarts there are 40 kids, 5 per gender per house (and is this true? maybe not), you have to wonder who the fifth guy was sharing a dorm with Sirius, James, Peter, and Remus. and wouldn't it have totally driven them nuts?

Unless, of course, there were more than 5 per year then, maybe if there were 8 or 9, then the four of them would have had a room to themselves or something.

I also have to wonder what the heck it must be like being the other kids in the same room as Fred and George Weasley. Oh man. Well, I guess they're friends with Lee Jordan, but... well, we never hear of any others, so hm.

Yes. I did Pioneers buggy from 01-03. I was "dragged" into it by my 15-211 partner, cgeisser; who also ended up being my 412 and 451 partner.

I know your username is familiar, but I can't seem to put a face to it (your userpic non withstanding).

ah yes, Carla. I'm Katherine (aka kfc). I'm trying to find a picture of me that doesn't suck, but cia's website has this stupid thing where it's nearly impossible to find a direct link to a picture.

Go to ciabuggy.org and search for photo ID #662.

Oh ok. Yes, this is certainly a case of "shouldn't we have met before."

Hi. I'm Brian.
Nice to meet you. :~)

You beat me to the befriending thing. I went to your journal to see what interesting posts there were and discovered that I could see protected entries. Certainly had to do a double take. Anyway, it goes along with further lj weirdness today. I haven't received emails notifying me about your replies to my comments. Apparently, lj likes D too much to tell *me* about what is happening in her journal. :)

That was happening to you, too? I received an email for your first comment (after I had replied) and this one. I could check the lj maintenance community to see if there is a reason for this, but I'm lazy.

Well, this one came with an email so I am guessing that things are fixed now.
