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.

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.)

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.

*curtsies*

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

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. ^^;;;
