Chat Thread: Chopsticks and teacups

[patch99329]

I'm scared to venture to any bookshop or library, because I'll get loads of books.

I still have to finsh the book I'm currently reading ('The famished road-Ben Okri. It's a brilliant book about a spirit child, I forget what they call it but I know such children as obanjes) and I'm getting the Iliad as a christmas gift from my mother.

I'm not going to bu anything else until the sales wink

I made it over the pass Friday evening, and I'm back home in eastern Washington!

Congrats! The passes are shaping up to be really nasty!

You probably wont end up as bad as me. I've had my eyes on The Complete Sagas of Icelanders for a few years now, and now that I have money, its growing even more tempting to buy. Of course, retail price is suggested at $498 USD. sad

They're great translations too, the library Nuri works at owns all of them.  

[patch99329]

Haha you're right!
I AM no where near as bad as that.

When people ask me what I want for my birthday, christmas or any other holiday I'm either going to request books, or some sort of amazon gift voucher biggrin

I've decided that I'm going to put the names of some deities and other divinities in a hat and pull one out each week.
I'll dedicate time in that week to do some decent research on the entity in question.
It's a practical approach to something I've been doing so impractcally for a long time. xd

My current book wish list is in the thousands of dollars. crying

Eh, I'd still take someone spouting Bible verses in every thread over some racist a*****e twisting the Bible and the Catechism to fit his agenda.  

[Fiddlers Green]

Still alive, still well, just wanted to drop in and say hallo, I'll likely be on more tomorrow. surprised  

[patch99329]

I think limlynn and barry are about equal.
I've started to have fanstasies about hitting limlynn with a cricket bat.  

[Fiddlers Green]

And people wonder why I limit myself to lurking in M&R anymore... xd  

[patch99329]

I love my friends xD They've bought me the cutest stuff for christmas.
I got a personalised mug saying 'Emma's perfect tea. Hands off!'

Hehe, I think my obsession with a good cup of tea has been noticed. xD

--
Two of them even signed my cards 'seasons greetings' and 'happy holidays'.
I'm not someone who demands this or gets pissed when people wish me a happy christmas. Quite the opposite actually.
But the fact thet actually thought about it and made the effort meant that I've never felt so chuffed to recieve a secular greetings card xd

....my new orphans name is Miasma. I swear, its like they know to give me the Greek orphan.

edit: and now one named Faustus.

WHY DOES THE ORPHANAGE KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME?

All of mine seem to have names that are more suitable for pets. Like "Patches." sweatdrop  

[TeaDidikai]

[saint dreya]
