What's nymphette mean?

Yes, do leave it. It's stragely humorous. Your dream was saddening, too.

Not all boys enjoy ick jobs. Around here, the least favorite jobs for my brother are shoveling horse manure from the pen, cleaning the chicken coop, and hauling wood for the fire. The wood isn't ick, but I thought I'd add it, since he doesn't like it. But the first two are the ickiest job around the house. (I personally hate cleaning the bathroom, but that's because it's hard, not gross.)

Elempi, I want to respond. Right now. You have no idea.

But I just got out of a final, just got out of the shower, and I need to finish a lengthy (and grade make-or-break'ing) paper on a study of sonnets to hand in in order to get in the door to take a second final in less than two hours and then I have to finish packing, run a few hopefully quick errands, and then I'm going to be in a car for quite a long time, after which I'm going to be at somebody else's house (with dial-up) for a week...

I honestly can't promise a single thing as to when I'm going to be able to respond properly.

Regardless, we know that Saeryn is leaving. So Feanor can post here and I'll add in her reponse to Eodwine, and then write something good-bye-ish for Eodwine.

For the present, we can continue; I'll edit the end of my last post to show Eodwine walking back to his rooms, all a-mix in his middle, betraying just that on his countenance. Et cetera. Carry on!

Nymphette means female water spirit, if you go by the Greek; A nymph is female, so the "ette" can't mean that or it would be redundant. So it means the same thing as cigarette as compared to cigar === small nymph. So a rough translation would be tiny nymph. In other words, a big nuisance!

Saddening dream?

It was meant to be chaotic and hilarious; or at least crazy and dreamlike. *Elempi shrugs*

It was chaotic, and it was sometimes humorous (like when Falco was trying to tend to him), but when he was stuck in the mud, that was sad. It was like a very real dream, but it was still somewhat sad.

No time to post at present. I will get around to it before this Day is up and people are ready to move on.

JennyHallu · 12-15-2006, 03:42 PM

Can I close out the day? Pretty please? That would give me plenty of time to perfect my post...

Except that I'm going to be away the 21st-26th. So if that's ok, can I close out the day?

If it's not let me know quickly so I remember to post up before I leave.

Folwren · 12-18-2006, 08:55 PM

Elempi, ye don't mind waiting a bit, do you, before Thornden leaves Eodwine's company, do you? Or before I answer you? If you're in a hurry to do something with your character, I can add something to my last post and ... somehow answer you. Actually, I can do that anyway. Ne'er mind. But - if you want Eodwine to be able to leave, I'll need to know. Otherwise, I'll just have Thornden answer and continue with his breakfast and not necessarily give you a good chance to leave. Of course, Eodwine could always just get up and leave...but you can decide, I guess.

Eodwine is not of a mind to do anything but sit and let the world move.

My post re Saeryn has been altered.

Excellent! I have edited my post, then, and all is well. You have my answer and may move on if it so suits your fancy.

-- Folwren

P.S. Elempi, you are not in a grumpy mood, are you?

ME!?

Nah.

Eodwine is though.

littlemanpoet · 12-24-2006, 03:25 PM

I'm thinking that it's Lhuna's turn to post about Ginna, after which I'll post up for Eodwine (and Randvér). Sound good?

Kath · 12-24-2006, 07:50 PM

Well we're out of the Hall now and on our way into town Form. But we have a slight problem in that I have no idea what is around the place that Kara can show you! Any ideas? What would Nain like to see?

Merry Christmas to everybody! Enjoy your days.

littlemanpoet · 12-15-2006, 08:45 PM

The mud is actually quite symbolic, and very clear, considering who passes him by.

Jenny, I think it would be fine for you to close out the day. I'd be surprised if we're ready to do that as early as the end of this year, but you never know.....

Funny post, Celuien.

I didn't know Garstan had an 'evil' side.

Aye, aye, aye, I understood.

When Eodwine is dressed, do you suppose he'll be returning to the main hall for breakfast?

And, Firefoot, are you around? If so, can Thornden address Leof sometime this morning?

-- Folwren

Firefoot · 12-16-2006, 06:52 AM

Yep. Here and ready to write.

He is rather enjoying the prospect of teaching these misbehaving children a lesson. All for their own good, of course.

Nah, he's going to hide up in his room all day.

Yes, he'll be breaking his fast in the mead hall.
