Sororial shenanigans
Jul. 13th, 2003 01:22 amSororial unit went to see Pirates of the Caribbean today, in the company of her fenchurch and chaperoned by my mum. (Incidentally, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyjaida, you got yourself another vote for Bootstrap/Jack...) She returned, and we fell to talking. Ended up she gave me this YA novel, Le Trésor de Brion by Jean Lemieux, that she read for French class last year; which purportedly contains mention of - wait for it - a forbidden romance between an abbé and a pirate. Avoue que ça fait nouveauté. Her teacher told the class quite cheerfully that he assigned it because he was hardcore into pirates as a kid, but it had never occurred to him they could be gay. Apparently he thought this was nifty.
She says the book is eyeball-stabbingly bad. This I have to see for myself.
Speaking of which: before the OotP-mania dies down entirely (ha ha), if you haven't checked my site recently, my sister did another one of her hidden-word puzzles with vocabulary from HP5. Go print it out if you have Acrobat Reader. Use it to amuse kids even, if kids are a component of your life.
(For all that I talk about my sister as if she were a little kid, she's not. She's only a couple of years younger than the youngest person on my lj-friends, all of whom I think of as peers. A teenage fangirl, though, certainly, which is only one of the reasons I take the generic insulting of teenage fangirls a bit ad hominem these days.)
