TWITCH. *flails* When are you coming back? Tell me so I can plan to spend ALL NIGHT LONG with you. You'll never escape me! >:D

I am trying to write more of modern!Arthurians, but they are being annoying and uncooperative. In other news, I am a dreadful bowler, but reminded again of why I so much like Lesley, even if she does call me on my silliness (which to-day resulted in me crying all over the place, but).

I am not coherent. ^^ Pardon me, I pray you.

Hi! I am here, I exist (barely), and if you don't mind a little bit of scatterbrain and sporatisism, I'll be around tonight. I'll have to duck out to dinner and shower at some point.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^^ Are you here now?

[eremon-lass.livejournal.com]

Am here! Really! I haven't done the shower thing, through the dinner thing is done. So I'm kind of here.

Hi, I fail!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, please. Fail? I think not. Come online!

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

*feels forehead* you okay, love? A bit feverish? (who are you talking to with the coming back?)

Bowlers are not supposed to be good at it! It is fun to see who can get the lowest score while actually trying. (I wish for you to be proud of your silliness ;_;)

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

OHO. I misread. I thought twitch was an action. I SAID NOTHING.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

She is a rocking person. XD ♥

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

No offense to miss Twitch for misunderstanding that Twitch was her name...!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Not at all. It's actually Twitchy, and I shorten it whenever I wicked well feel like it, so.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(thankfully, no!

...I love you.)

(She does not become overcome with murderous impulses and proceed to change colors (http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp08032006.shtml)? That's a very good thing.

... For the strangest reasons. I love you too.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(No, even better!

Oh, no; all my reasons are very good. ♥)

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

(That's a verry good thing ^____^

If you say so...! My reasons are better, i think. LoveLoveLove!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(I certainly think so.

Pfff, mine are. Love. <33333 ♥)

*snuggles up against* Nooo, sadly. I have no been sick in for-ever. (Twitchy!)

Yes, but--this last game? Sarah got 102, Chelsey got 107, and Tessa got 108--and Soujin got 41. It was kind of utterly sad. ^^;;;! (Not when it's harmful, that's all.)

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

*holds* That is not sadly...! No-sick is goood.

XD That is a bit sad, but not all that much! My average is about 68? But i don't go every week... Soujin can get better? (oh... *hug*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, I suppose so.

It's awful! On the other hand, it was a v. high-pressure game of FINISH AS FAST YOU CAN OR WE'LL THROW YOU OUT, so I was a little panicked. She will try. (*love*)

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

Is it better to be a Sick Soujin?

XD it is a bit awful, alright... But that's a very good excuse! (*lovetoo*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, I have a sekrit and wicked desire to be properly sick some day again.

Thank you. XD I'm trying. (*adore*)

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

That's a rather sick desire, miss!

*snicker* (*lovealot*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...You are AWFUL.

Thursday will tell? (*the same!*)

[sparklychibi.livejournal.com]

Darling! I must tell you! Okay, this is probably not exciting to anyone but me, but since you were the person who introduced my to Diana Wynne Jones...

So I was re-reading The Ogre Downstairs for, you know, the tenth time, and at the end there's a bunch of guys who spring out of the ground, right? With motorcycle helmets? And they speak Greek! So at first I was like "hey, maybe I can understand some of this now that I've taken Greek" so I started reading it. And I was very confused and didn't recognize any words, which made me feel sort of bad because I'd like to be better at Greek than I am. Then the word "φελλωσ" caught my eye. Transliterated, that's "phellos", and all of a sudden I realized it was supposed to be "fellows" - the "Greek" is just English written in Greek letters! I find this to be VERY COOL. And I guess the joke is that the people in the book can't understand, even though spoken out loud it would sound like English.

I am so excited.

So, like the first one is:

"'Ιτμιον θε λιδαγειν 'ανσε ου τιυγετ!"

Transliterated: Hitmion the lidagein anse uo tiuget!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...THAT. That is the most incredible thing evar. How does the rest of it go? Share?

That is just so awesome. And you are so unbelievably smart. Wow. *fangirls hugely*

[sparklychibi.livejournal.com]

Man, it's not me, it's Diana Wynne. She is so cool.

I don't quite get the second one but the rest are pretty easy.

Θινκ 'ιν κυιτ φελλωσ 'ον θε 'εδ δουιου?

It's something like: "Think in kuit phellos on the hed douiou?"

Θησ κιζ τραιδ του θυμπ μι φελλωσ!

"Thes kids traid tou thump mi phellos!"

Ωκει, λετσ τεικ βωθοφεμ 'απαρτ αβιτ.

"Okei, lets teik bothophem apart abit."

Λετμι 'αττεμ.

Pretty sraightforward: "Letme attem."

Φυλλα σπιριτ, 'αρντθει?

"Phulla spirit, arntthei?"

Λετσγω, φελλωσ.

"Letsgo, phellos."

(If there's a difference between my Grek here and in the book it's because sigma changes form if it's at the end of a word, and I can't type the other form of it.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you're the one who was smart enough to have taken Greek and be able to notice. Wow.

That is just tremendous. You rock. I really cannot type out my squee effectively, nor have I any icons to show how gleeful I am. You win at my life. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[sparklychibi.livejournal.com]

*curtsies*

It makes me very excited too! It's like finding the key to the secret code. :D!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes! When I first read the book, I tried typing the letters into the computer using the Greek-looking letters in the font stuff, but of course that never worked, and I've always wondered what it said. ^^;;;
