nimoloth, what we were thinking about when we were talking about Durmstrang was the German 'Sturm und Drang', which means 'Storm and Stress' apparently. Here's the Wikipedia link: Sturm und Drang.Mar. 23rd, 2007

Help to change the world
Mar. 23rd, 2007 11:59 amDear friend,
This Thursday, the environment ministers from the G8, the world's biggest contributors to climate change, will be meeting in Germany. The outcome of this meeting is crucial to world's response to global warming.
Avaaz.org has been invited to attend this meeting to present our climate change petition. A strong voice for action could help set the agenda for the G8. To help seize this opportunity, click below:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/climate_action_germany
The G8 is a summit of world leaders from the "Group of 8" largest economies. Together, these countries account for 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions--the gasses that cause climate change. The full G8 summit is coming in June, but the agenda and outcome of this type of high-profile event is usually set far in advance--at meetings like the one this Thursday.
This year, the president of the G8 is German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Her environment minister, Sigmar Gabriel, is in charge of the ministers meeting Thursday. And at 4 pm on March 15th, we have a personal meeting with Mr. Gabriel to present our petition for binding emissions targets to stop catastrophic climate change.
Merkel has indicated an interest in making climate change a top priority. With a significant global petition, we can make the case that the world is ready for aggressive leadership on climate change--and pave the way for truly historic commitments at the G8 summit this June.
It's a rare opportunity to have a global impact. Add your voice to the petition now:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/climate_action_germany
50,000 people from 131 countries have already demanded action. Our goal is to reach 100,000. Please sign the petition, forward this email to friends and family, and post the link on your blog--we only have a few days to make this statement count.
If we add our voices together, now, 2007 can become the year we took the first step to save the world.
With hope,
Ricken, David, Iain, Lee-Sean, Galit, Graziela, and the rest of the Avaaz.org team

Mar. 23rd, 2007 02:46 pmWell, I'm bored and it's moon time (ie: that time of the month), so I'm messing around on Memegen.
Here's the first of probably many:
( Harry Potter love guy )
( Another Harry Potter meme )
( Which movie will I be in and with who? )
( Which Johnny Depp character will you date? )
( Become a God/Goddess )
( If LJ were High School )
There you go. See how bored I was?!
Last, but not least: ( Your hunt with the Winchesters )

Gasp! Horror!
Mar. 23rd, 2007 03:57 pmI've just found out that Borders on Buchanan Street in Glasgow might be closing, because book sales are down thanks to online bookstores, and the fact that US sales are up, so they might be pulling out of the UK!!! They can't close down the one in Buchanan Street! We must do something. Go and buy out the bookstore, or petition, or something!!!
