I think you're just jealous. We can't all have shiny golden hair.

I knew about Figwit, but not that he had a real name - and my name, at that.

Excellent! I'm delighted, that's a really good idea - and since Ryanair don't seem to allocate seats on their flights, probably won't require much coordination on our part.

Of course, I'll be seeing you before October.

*also excited*

Curufin · 04-12-2008, 04:46 PM

Yes, just a little more than a month!

We'll have to plan what we're going to do.

Thanks for finding it!

BeardofPants (love the name, by the way) I think Firefly is just shiny.

You're a fellow Browncoat?

Yes! Nice to see another fan of Whedon.

There's a thread around here somewhere.

Some of us just don't feel the need to be obvious about it.

BeardofPants · 04-12-2008, 06:32 PM

Nonsense. All must bow down before the might of Buffy and DESPAIR.

Meriadoc Brandybuck · 04-12-2008, 08:40 PM

Just got back from selling stuff at a street fair. I burned, of course, but we did pretty good selling-wise. *goes and dies in a soft, squishy chair*

sisterandcousinandaunt · 04-12-2008, 11:11 PM

I'm just going to lie here and cry for a bit.

It has been a really long and difficult day.

I'll probably be pretty restored in the morning, but I just wanted to be in a safe place. The Teacup is the closest I'll get, today. I love you guys.

Aw, poor Sis. What happened?

BeardofPants · 04-13-2008, 12:30 AM

((((((((((sis))))))))))

*hugs

Curufin · 04-13-2008, 01:29 AM

*hugs Sis*

Huorn! I was afraid you had died or something terrible had happened!!! It's great to see you back on the moot!

The last sane person · 04-13-2008, 02:11 AM

Welcome back Huorn!

*and hug cuddles for Sis* waaas up?

***Earniel*** · 04-13-2008, 04:39 AM

*gives sis a comfy chair and a cup of tea*

**Mari** · 04-13-2008, 07:22 AM

Me is back... but I'm reading up first, so I'm not available for the first few hours...
You people seriously talk too much

***Earniel*** · 04-13-2008, 09:13 AM

Hi Mari! How was Turkey?

Aside from the sucky trip back then.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 04-13-2008, 10:00 AM

Welcome back, Mari! We missed you.

**Mari** · 04-13-2008, 10:12 AM

Wow, just spend the last 3 or 4 hours(!!!) catching up. Still have another book and Facebook left to go... This is scary.

Sis, feeling better now? *is a little late, but decides hugs are always a good thing and gives Sis a very big hug*
Well, let me make us all a nice cup of tea and then I'll sit down and tell you a bit about Turkey. Thanks for the flowers Sis! I'll put them right here, so everyone can enjoy them! *puts them on a table in the middle of the Teacup*

sisterandcousinandaunt · 04-13-2008, 10:33 AM

No, still feeling awful, actually.

But very pleased to have our traveler back.

Thank you for the hug.

**Mari** · 04-13-2008, 11:00 AM

Aww, that's too bad! *gives Sis another hug for good measure*
Perhaps this will cheer you up if only a little bit. *pours a fresh cup of Turkish appletea and puts a box with Turkish Delight on the table* If the sugar in all that doesn't make you bounce around the Teacup, I don't know what will

*pours another cup of normal tea which is probably more drinkable and places it on the table*
Now I can sit down and relax...

Turkey was great! I made so many great pictures! I have pictures of the sea for Nauti, rocks and stones for Sis and even one of a little frog I saw for Eärniel! Of course I also took many pictures of flowers (

) and other things like ruins, mountains, skies, mosques (only the outside, but my sis took pics of the inside) and waterfalls. I hope there are some pics for everyone, I tried to make them varied enough.

I really was able to forget about some things that I wanted to not think about for a week and I'm actually feeling somewhat recharged. I even slept through the nights, which is practically a miracle these days.
Anyways, the smells were strong and great! Everything looked so much more natural. We were even wondering if they had dyed the veggies, because they were so much more colourful then the ones we are used to

I learned a few Turkish words as well, but the funny thing is: all the "new" words are just phonetic adaptions taken from other languages. Like "reklam" for commercial ("reclame" in Dutch), "oto" for car ("auto" from French, but now also Dutch") and better examples that I can't think of at the moment.
I also went to a "hamam" or Turkish bath with massage and all. That was goooood! I'll marry anyone who can give me a Turkish bath! *thinks back to the hamam and dreams away for a moment*
We went to a weavery and I got to make yarn out of wool the "old way" with some help from an old lady. She was so cute! I didn't bother trying to weave anything though; those knots are way too tiny for me to make. I would ruin the whole tapestry

We saw the calcium-terraces in Pamukkale (which are white because of the calcium in the water) and swam in a thermal bath (with a lot of crazy tourists rubbing mud on themselves because they had heard it would be good for their skin

)

Ahem, right. Many stories to tell, which are probably interesting to no one but myself, so I'll shut up

Oh, and for Hector: We went to Kemer, Antalya, Alanya, Denizli, Pamukkale, Manavgat and some smaller villages. Did your sister go to any of those places?

And thanks all for thinking of me

*sips the tea and blows her nose* I got a cold from the airco, but I'll leave it up to you to decide whether this reaction was from the cold or from appreciation of you thinking of me
