No, I haven't been off campus since I came back from thanksgiving break. And malls are on my list of places to avoid during the holidays anyway. What sort of problems? Is Santa leering at people when they shop there or something?

It seems they set up the "visit Santa Claus" pavillion, opposite the Victoria Secrets store and mothers complained of the scantily clad manequins and such in the window being visible to their delicate childrens minds. (Keep in mind these are the same people who take their kids to the mall every single week all year long and the V.S. store hasn't moved nor changed it's type of display) . VVM wound up putting a high curtain between the store and the S.C. experience. I can't see why they just didn't move the S.C. display, that mall sure has the room. Now, I gotta plan a trip there to see what it's all about
meanwhile, did Lotesse leave any special coffee for me; we keep missing each other.

Yes, I've brewed a pot of Jamaican Blue mountain, and the New York cheesecake is over there *points to table* with fresh strawberry puree to drizzle over it.
I'm so confused about what's happening to my RPG the last few days; it's trippy. All of a sudden, there was contention among the ranks, and now the fogal are totally dominating - two posters in particular, like the whole story is primarily - or JUST - about their own characters. It's weird, I don't like it. *sips coffee* And it's confusing, to say the least, 'cause our "leader" of evil whom I respect so much has gone a bit odd, too, and I don't know why... I miss the old days of the game, when we all got along fine and the writing was balanced. There's this one writer in there (and to be polite, I won't say whom ) who just writes SO FREAKIN' MUCH, the whole story's all about them & their characters, and to read the RPG you have to read ALL of these long posts just to get through it, and it's just so incredibly unbalanced, and everyone's FEELINGS are always being hurt, and there's NO poetic freedom or whatever, no wriggle room to write in. It's bummin', I want my old RPG back. Where my homies at? Crazy Squirrel, Gordis, TD, Shah, Butterbeer, Grey Wolf - you all, let's do Fellowship again for a while, or something. Meh.

*snerk* That's funny about the mall.
Lotesse, I'm sure it'll balance out eventually, that particular rpg seems to work like a teeter-totter, right now it just happens to be down. Just be polite in the discussion, keep writing normally and in a few days it'll be up again. I could use some tea right now. I'm almost finished putting together one of my portfolios (the biggest one) and I've been on and off the phone with my parents all day, trying to get my flight changed. We did and now I'll be home by Tuesday night, instead of having to wait till friday. Exceedingly happy, even if it does mean I have to finish portfolios and exams earlier.

What's in a name?
Oh what a lovely place. Some tea with scones please. I love to drink ceylon and chrysantemum tea and with some nice warm scones. Who has seen snow yet? Where I live it's cold, freezing and very foggy. Sometimes it muzzles or dribbles.

Welcome, Ainulindale! did I spell that right? I never can get that word without having to "sound it out" real slowly, after all this time, too. You need a cute nickname! So, chrysanthemum & ceylon tea - wow, exotic. Of corse we have it in stock; every drink & food known to man or elf, hobbit or Nazgul, dwarf or star wars odd character is stocked somewhere in the colossal Teacup Cafe. I once ate a chrysanthemum and it stung my mouth something awful, it's strange that all of a sudden they're the exotic edible du jour. They're showing up in teas, on cakes, in salads...
Thanx 4 the advice, Lady M! It IS a teeter-totter over there. Guess I'll just be patient. It just feels so restricted lately, like the past few weeks it seems like fewer and fewer things are able to be done writing wise, and if it keeps up at this rate there's just gonna be NO room at all left for artistic license or whatever. Ah, well, we shall see... Shah - you around this evening? Little Claire's been asking - no, barking after you. And I'm missing my unruly Dragazzo; when does he & Obnavat get back from that mission?

Greetings Ainulindalë! Good to see you find your way trough the mazes of the moot and here. Maybe jus Yest Ainu is enough of a nickname? Have anyone else being called that?
What mission are those two weirdocreatures on at the moment, Lotesse? Yes, I'm talking about obnavat and that dragon of yours.

I don't really know; you'd have to ask their auntie Shah. All I know is that it was an opportunity to keep Dragazzo off the chronic and out of my hair for a few days, and get some quality growing-up, manhood-making battle experience in with his responsible brother.

You know, I think Aunulindalë would be a good name for a little girl. No worse than many names that are hard for kids to learn, whether they're made up or just from a faraway country. She could go by Linda -- it's right in there.

Indeed, it WOULD be a real pretty little girls name, but it's tricky to learn how to spell & npronounce right at first. Even you got it wrong, Elanor! Lindy would be a sweet nickname. I like Lindy! I like it when people call me Lotsy for short. I love nicknames.
You guys want a cookie? Brought some Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies 4 everyone...

Oops, you're right. Typo. I really am a good speller! And proud of it...
But most teachers allow kids with difficult names to use a nickname in all but official documents. At least at my elementary school they did. My dad wanted to name one of my brothers Zaphnath-paaneah, but my mom talked him out of it. He always jokes that he could have gone by Zaph. |

Those cookies look good. Are those bits of candy cane in them? We always make Christmas brownies with chocolate frosting and sprinkle crushed candy cane on top. Yum!

Zaphnath- Paaneah????? Wow. Thank God 4 mothers!
Here's some Dilbert "Dear Dogbert" letters that I thought were pretty funny, yes I'm that bored right now Dear Dogbert, Do you just randomly create questions and names so you can make jokes that you wouldn't normally have the opportunity to use? Zach Dear Placque, Do I come to your workplace and accuse you of sweeping up French fries that aren't really there? Sincerely, Dogbert == Dear Dogbert, I think Scott Adams bares a striking resemblance to actor Ed Harris. How would I go about either killing one of them or fusing them together so that only one person in this world would look like that? Sammy Dear Spammy, I wish I had a nickel for every time I've been asked that question.

Anyway, the Kessel run is a hyperspace route that goes to the planet Kessel, which is shaped vaguely like a potato, while it's former (yes, former) moon is perfectly round, and is the location of the largest glitterstim spice mining operation. Quite nearby, however, is a large cluster of black holes known as the Maw, that is impossible to navigate at realspace speeds, and virtually impassible at modest hyperspace speeds. Because of this cluster, most hyperspace routes to Kessel have a detour. In A New Hope, Han Solo brags that his ship is fast, and that his making the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs proves it. Remember that a parsec isn't a unit of time but a unit of distance, approximately 3.3 light years. The only way to cut this distance would be to go through the Maw. In Star Wars, "lightspeed" is actually several million times the speed of light, so Han's .5 hyperdrive could (barely is to be inferred) get through the Maw, and to Kessel.
