Now... we give you cake?

I know this is not particularly relevent, but how do you know? Is it on your calendar or something? You prompted me to look up the 'birth' of my lj - started in secret last March.

*hands cake?*

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

*laughs* nope, you have to look it up! It's in your userinfo, and it's just, I mean, I knew it was coming and thought I'd make a birthday post, and then I just wasn't in the mood but mentioned it anyway.

mmmmmm *loves cake* Thanks! *hugs*

Happy LJversary!

I don't know if you read much HP, but am willing to write you a celebratory ficlet if you want to leave me a prompt. *squishes you*

[seshat1.livejournal.com]

...Wow, thats the littlest sparkly ever! Eep.

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

*laughs* It's PRETTY! Pretty in Pink! (Froglet thinks it's very cool cos it matches her T-shirt. Eh.)

I'D LOVE A FICLET! Thanks, sweetheart *hugs*. Anything with Adult Remus, please. *bats eyelashes*

The lady in the tea shop smiled kindly at him as she re-filled his cup of tea, even though the shop didn't offer free refills. Remus tried to smile back, but wasn't sure he managed it. He was so tired he didn't think he'd notice if she started dancing on his table. His stomach rumbled loudly, a sure sign that it had been far too long since he'd eaten anything of substance, and Remus took a long drink of tea in an effort to calm it.

"Happy Birthday to me," he whispered miserably.

Moments later, a small pate with a piece of cake on it appeared in front of him. On the cake was a lone candle, already burning brightly. Suprised, he looked up into the kindly eyes of the waitress. She smiled.

"Go on then, make a wish." She urged.

Remus considered this. He had stopped wishing for things years ago, had stopped believing they would ever come true. But... just this once couldn't hurt. And the waitress was being so kind. Remus blew the candle out.

Two weeks later an owl bearing the Hogwarts crest flew through his window, and Remus remembered the lovely waitress and her wishes, and thanked her.

Happy LJ birthday :-)

Anything with adult Remus in it, huh? I'll keep that in mind when your birthday rolls around.

Of course, Remus plays a v.v. important role in my fanfic *wink wink*

No guessing! All shall be revealed erm...four months from now (I know that's like one-third of a year).

Thank you for your help on the French BTW. Anther question: What do French people usually drink and eat in the afternoon? More specifically, what do 11-12 year old French kids like to have for snacks?

Thank you!

Re: *Make you frozen strawberry yoghurt pie*

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

mmmmm thank you. Sounds very yummy. :D

OK, let's make this a little ethnic then :D. French kds would probably have a glass of milk and a couple of French biscuits: either choco-BN (http://users.skynet.be/alabdpublicitaire/bd0488.htm shows a schtroumph eating a choco BN), or Petit Beurre. Or else, they'd have a piece of baguette with 2 squares of dark chocolate, maybe even a pain au chocolat (some sort of chocolate croissant) - but that's more morning food, probably.

Now, this is traditional France; I guess that nowadays they may have something more, uh, international (i.e. a candy bar or something), but these products (choco BN et petit beurre) still exist today and have a strong tradition behind them. I mean, I had these for snack as a kid, I still buy them when I go to France for a visit and I would certainly buy them for my girls...

Re: *Make you frozen strawberry yoghurt pie*

[seshat1.livejournal.com]

Mmm Choco-BN. WHY can you only get those in France?? Same goes for Petit Buerre for that matter. The French have better Crisps as well.... *sulks*

I miss France, haven't been in FAR too long. =(

Thank you :-)

*I feel a bit strange answering your comment with a snake icon. She only eats rodents though. I think*

>>>>>they'd have a piece of baguette with 2 squares of dark chocolate, maybe even a pain au chocolat (some sort of chocolate croissant)

I assume the French word "pain" has nothing to do whatsoever with the English word "pain"? *g*

Another question (sorry for all this irrelevancies): What do 11-12 year old French kids call an adult? (Stranger, teacher, relative). I'm deliberating on what LittlePrince!Harry should call Narrator!Snape in my fanfic.

*laughs* You're quite right.

What do 11-12 year old French kids call an adult? (Stranger, teacher, relative).

Stranger/teacher would be Monsieur; you can write m'sieur in dialogues, cos this is how they would pronounce it. A relative -- well, it depends on the type of relative. Only an uncle would be called "Tonton", and that works better with a younger child -- 12-year-olds would certainly use the first name instead.

Re: help with French

[lilian-cho.livejournal.com]

Thanks again :-)

Wow, French kids call their uncles by the first name (without title)? I never call my older brothers without the title "Older Brother." I wonder if my future children will cal their older sibling(s) by the first name only.

[metallumai.livejournal.com]

I say, wine with the cake-- pink if you like!!

I happen to have a grownup Remus bit from my AU series; will email it.

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! It's really lovely.

Pink champagne? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

Danke schön! :D Hey, you're all set to move to Germany I see?

[muffytaj.livejournal.com]

The same thing we do every day.

Try to take over the world!

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

*laughs* That's so much work! How 'bout piece of cake, bubbly and taking over the couch?

[muffytaj.livejournal.com]

Awww, but...but...the world has much cake!

[levi.livejournal.com]

Yay! Happy LJ-day! *grin*

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D It's been a fun year.
