I am happy. I've had the luxury of a whole day to myself (contracted a real cold and couldn't go to uni, heh ... teach me to tell porkies XD) and spent it cleaning, catching up on all the normal things normal people get to do, and snoozing for short periods before being overwhelmed by phlegm

Never heard 'porkies' before. Oddly enough, just yesterday I was thinking about you folks wacky usage of the word 'biscuit.'

Yay for the endangered species of 'editing moods'!

[ladylight]

*pshht* You guys are the loonies - ask the French XD;;

By the way, hon, I got your card today! :D It's gorgeous! And I agree with you ... if Rannon were a dragon (ah, how easy it'd be to lock him up in a box then), that'd be a dead-on match. I've pinned him above my desk, because it's all horrible and bare at the moment. Typically thoughtful choice, that was - thank you! ^o^

Hope you're starting to feel somewhat better today, my sweet. *hugs*

A "fake Jamaican"?

[Londoner waves hand] I don't tell no pork pies, miss! Hehe, even more amusing than whatever the hell American biscuits are is talking about pasties to Americans: apparently it's some kind of stripshow wear over there. Which is just...ouch. Talk about peas in unfortunate places.

[telyanofcelore]

Still unsure about what a porkie is... and yes, pasties are indeed stripshow wear here, for some unknown reason. I suspect because they are pasted on. Very odd.

You don't get biscuits?

[saltnester]

pork pies -> lies
Not to be confused with your plates of meat. [feet] Or something you're taking a butcher's hook [look] at.

the peas! the peas! Would it bemuse you that I had one for lunch today?

Of course we have biscutis - real biscuits, like hobnobs and digestives, chocolate chip cookies, gingernuts and bourbon creams...it's you guys have those freakish yorkshire-pudding-cum-savoury-scone things...I mean, who would want to dip that in their tea? O_o

[erkkan]

Hehe, I'd forgotten about cockney rhyming slang. All makes sense now... And yeh, I don't know why we call your biscuits "cookies". Given the french, yours is correct. I'll have to look into that some time... Etymology is fun. ^^;;

In a Phrase?

THREE DAY WEEKEND.

Re: In a Phrase?

[ladylight]

OH yeah XD XD;;

[nihiriki]

Hm...That sounds like the kind of song I need to listen to on a regular basis while in school. XD One more week left! That thought alone has made my day, so I'm well. Glad you got some writing-and-alone time. *offers chicken soup for the cold*

I've never heard of 'porkies' before.

And 'Memory of Lightwaves'? Sounds like a song demons would like...

Have a lovely weekend!

[ladylight]

One more week! One more week! *chants* (I keep forgetting how weird Northern Hemispherean semesters are ... :D)

'Telling porkies' means 'telling lies'. Cockney slang adopted into Aussie slang at some obscure point in the past. XD

As for 'Memory of Lightwaves', you know, I think you're dead-on there ... it reminds me of that short where Fylias heard the demon sing. It's absolutely eerie-sad-beautiful. I can point you to it if you'd like to hear it.

Same to you, hon! Soldier on this final week! *salutes* :D

[wispywillow]

I'll have to join my fellow Americans when I say that I have no idea what a 'porky' is ^_^

Heheh, I can see "Float On" being a Nuan song. It seems to fit his personality quite nicely.

[ladylight]

'porky' -> 'pork pie' -> 'lie'. Because we are freaks.

It does :D and it's got water in it! Perfect!

Happy Mondy to you, me sweet <3

[wispywillow]

Ahh, I see, so it's like a Cockney rhyming slang thing ^_^

Happy Monday to you too, me dear!!
