Thanks, Sane, for ur help with the sentence. May I consult you on further matters of phraseology during the course of this, my most recent attempt at translating a Swedish children's book to English? Would be most grateful.

Best

Um, sure GW. Ask away when the need arises.

Grey_Wolf · 04-25-2008, 03:11 AM

Thanks again, Sane!

*extinguishes pipe and puts books away* All papers done and I dare say I am over prepared for the quiz tommorow....er... I mean, today.

Most welcome GW!

**Mari** · 04-25-2008, 03:38 AM

Good morning! *yawns* Right... papers...
I think I won't start on mine till another week or so. Perhaps I should think of a subject to have approved though.

Good luck to everyone still writing and congrats to Rinkë for finishing and to Sane for getting an A!!

I could grind down the rough edges from my patchwork, but I keep them as a matter of pride to show that I fixed it. It's a lovely pipe. Heh, perhaps I'll make you one.

Good night Naughty!

Dont joke about that, I may take you up on it.

And it is lovely, that's for sure.

What kind of dancing is that?

Ballet, I'm a new male ballet dancer with catching up to do... as well as catching flying ballerinas.

And yeah, there was a teacher I liked a lot who taught one of the lower level math courses and calculus, so he was SUCH a good teacher that I, (never been particularly fond of math, more into well, anything else) wanted to go take another class with him. And I was immensely sorry the next semester with a *cough* er, slightly less talented teacher.

Nautipus · 04-25-2008, 09:30 AM

Silly inventions, teachers.

Prince Myshkin · 04-25-2008, 09:34 AM

Oh I don't know.

Some teachers I find to be particularly interesting. And some teachers are really interesting when they aren't teaching a class.

I do really well when I have an inspiring teacher... and it takes me more effort when I don't.

But I don't have anything against teachers. That comes to mind.

**Mari** · 04-25-2008, 09:35 AM

Nauti~! And Prince too! *tackles them both*
How are you?

Anyone want a drink?

Prince Myshkin · 04-25-2008, 09:41 AM

ACK!
*carefuly disentangles self*

I'm glad I wasn't holding a drink!

But I do feel a might parched, what are you having?

**Mari** · 04-25-2008, 09:44 AM

You don't.... like me to... tackle you???

*almost starts crying* Fine!
I'm having tea. Here's a cup and there's the tea. Serve yourself. Hmpf!

Eilonwy · 04-25-2008, 09:48 AM

Hi guys I have such a busy day today.

**Mari** · 04-25-2008, 09:51 AM

But is it a nice busy day?

Cup of tea? *pours one for Prince after all and waits for Eilonwy's answer*

Prince Myshkin · 04-25-2008, 09:59 AM

No! wait! that's not what I meant!

I mean, um, AGH!

Could I please have a cup of tea?

*Tackles Mari*

Feel free to tackle me anytime!

**Mari** · 04-25-2008, 10:04 AM

*drops her cup of tea while being tackled*

Sure, I put it right there for you. *points to the table*
