Well, this is not the cake we're looking for, let's try again... *handwave* Aha! Apple pie!

Tast toe!

Midge · 11-06-2009, 03:17 PM

Tast toe? I don't eat toes.

*sticks toes in the rule's face*

*and again for 10 more seconds*

**Mari** · 11-06-2009, 04:18 PM

Dank je! *nods a friendly nod to Earn and digs in*
Yum! ^_^

And I don't make spelling errors like that.

It means as much as 'serve yourself' in Dutch.

***Varnafindë*** · 11-06-2009, 05:54 PM

Tusen takk!

*eats pie*

Midge · 11-06-2009, 06:20 PM

I figured it wasn't English.

I was mostly being silly and asking what it meant.

Do you still have that first accidental chocolate cake around here somewhere?

Edit: Interesting video, NEL. I wonder how they picked whether light or dark overcame at the very end.

Didn't - but as Mari said(?), now there are tomorrows: she's looking at me again every now and then...

<3 Guess she realised that I was just too shy to smile earlier. *exhibits a profound number of virtual cartwheels*

Tomorrows will eat you. Walk her to her car.

That was really cool. O.o

THAT requires a discussion I simply do not (unfortunately) have time for at the moment.

BTW, you really should try le clam de chowder sometime. You may enjoy it.

Acalewia · 11-06-2009, 11:45 PM

Thanks, Nauti. Now you got me craving seafood

lol

*throws sticky, pink heart-shaped candies with ants in them* (by my mood)

Ach. Let's call it a draw, shall we?

Right, that really made me blush.

The problem a) with that idea is, she always takes one of her friends to school and from school - and b) I'm propably working when she leaves. And I think it's a bit too open yet... The next time she looks at me, I'll just form a heart with my hands. You know, the insides of thumbs together and all the other fingernails together. <3

Glad to hear.

I was wondering about that as well ...
There's no need to throw away a chocolate cake, even though it was accidental

***Earniel*** · 11-07-2009, 08:53 AM

The day I throw away a perfectly good chocolate cake is the day the universe explodes.

*puts cake on the table*

Help yourself.

(And while you're enjoying the cake, have a thought for LLL, please?)

***Varnafindë*** · 11-07-2009, 01:45 PM

*enjoys chocolate cake*

*thinks about LLL*

The main character in my current, Norwegian, NaNoWriMo project works in a library. She has come across a book with English texts - mostly unrelated to either the plot or each other. But she reads them, so they go into the novel - at least until December 1st - and into the word count. Perhaps the next of these texts involves an Elf named Barufiniel

Aikanáro · 11-07-2009, 06:09 PM

Is there any cake left?

I had some really good cake at school the other day - we were doing a cross-curricular unit on Guy Fawkes, which involved the kids making parkin.

That sounds great, Varna! I wish I could read Norwegian. How's the word-count going?

***Varnafindë*** · 11-07-2009, 08:31 PM

Sure, help yourself to cake!

The word count isn't going very fast

I thought I would write lots and lots on Saturday, but it just didn't happen.
We'll see whether Sunday improves it. A couple of days mid-week I wrote nothing at all, so a few hundred words is still better than that ...

The section before the one about Barufiniel, is about her cousin Nimlothel. You'll find it on that other Tolkien board we know, where I just posted it as the next post of The Theft of Umbar - you can read it there

Acalewia · 11-07-2009, 09:23 PM

Speaking of word counts, the novel that I finally got the nerve to send a inquiry to a publisher on is 12,914 words.

Wish me luck on it, guys. I should know in about a week if they'll consider it.

*noms on chocolate cake*

Ah, so that's where everyone slunk off to!

I could have known, it's that month again.

13,000 words? That doesn't sound like a novel; more like a long short story. How many pages does that add up to?

Fine. Novella *sticks tounge out at Gwai* 36 typed single spaced. XP

Did you know if you put all the flavors of Skittles in your mouth it tastes like fruit punch?
