Oh dear! We can take a hint.

(Because Rikae thought I hated Margaret Atwood, who was her favourite author, because I had said I think her books are "quite good".)

Manor? Servants? *ocl* Well, if by that you mean "tiny two bedroom house with the roof in desperate need of repair" and "three girls under the age of 8 smearing mud on the doorknobs", then yeah...
Margaret Atwood? I haven't read her in quite a while (actually, I covertly read my mother's copy of 'The Handmaid's Tale' when I was 8 or 9, until mom found out and took it away.) My favorite author at the moment is probably Virgina Woolf.... I just hope that doesn't influence people's subconscious impressions of me in Volo's game!
So, what DOES a Finn mean when she says something's good? And what does an American mean, for that matter?

According to what I said in my dream, if a Finn says something's good s/he thinks it's good, but if an American says something's good, s/he actually doesn't like it so much, for if s/he really liked it, s/he'd say it's awesome or that s/he loves it... I'm not at all if this is so in RL but that's what I seemed to think in my dream.

So I'm dreaming of being forced to dance on the backs of Galapagos sized snapping turtles in standing water. Normal enough, right?

But then I go into my grandparents' cabin and who should be sitting on the couch but Macalaure! Crazy!

On the far side of the cabin, in the kitchen, I see Rikae baking something with my grandma.

From the guest bedroomish direction, out walks Rikae's daughter, Lommy!

I hide my amazement and think to myself, they must either be secretly related to me, know my grandparents, or were driving along and got lost and my family invited them to stay forever.

So Rikae and Lommy went outside or something (but otherwise totally disappeared) and I tried to make polite conversation with Mac, but I'm conversationally inept around my family, so it was a little stilted.

"So I see we're playing werewolf together..."

"Yes."

And there was an awkward silence.

And then more sentences of the sort.

And then he started to talk in German, but I don't know German, and my grandmother yelled at me for being rude to the guests.

And I'm not entirely sure if my mother approved of me meeting all of you, even though you were visiting my grandparents.

Ahh, my mind.

Now, Fea, that was funny.

I had a dream that it was Rune's birthday and everybody wanted to send him video clips featuring Gimli from the LotR movies. Someone (Nerwen?) sent him a clip in which Galadriel, Legolas (I think I was him but I'm not sure) and Gimli were walking in a forest. Galadriel told Gimli to do various things and he always obeyed nicely. Then a white canine creature came and Galadriel said "now, Gimli, take that piece of meat from the warg" but I remember the creature looked suspiciously like a dog to me...

"So I see we're playing werewolf together..."

"Yes."

And there was an awkward silence.

Sadly, that does sound quite like the kind of conversation one could have with me.

Why are you people dreaming of Rikae and me all the time? Give us some privacy!

Today, I had a Downish dream. I had several even in the days before, but I don't remember them. From the one I had today I remember only two episodes: First, I was talking in French with Lhuna and it was really very bad as I did not seem to be able to put together a simple sentence. Second, Lommy complained in a PM that I received from her (as response to my PM), that I did not use enough smileys in that PM I sent her.

The night before last night I had a long and vague un-BD dream which featured a short episode with Mithalwen as a fairy godmother living in a creepy ghost manor full of spider webs and Nogrod playing a strategy computer game called "Commodus" against Legate in the internet.
