I'm pleased by weird things sometimes.

Well, it WOULD explain why Cailin held the Grey Wardens in such high regards. I just can't picture Duncan being attracted to an arrogant slob like Cailin.
Duncan and Alistair, now that seems more plausible.

It was more Cailan as gay that I was happy about rather than the pairing, I do kinda agree with you that I can't see Duncan falling for Cailan. But if Cailan were to come on to him, I wonder if Duncan would just go along with it to stay in his good graces.

Which makes me think that being a king means people might just sleep with you because they're afraid to say no and you'll never know if you really have enthusiastic consent.

I think with Alistair Duncan is a stand in father/parental unit.

Cailin DOES seem rather much like he could be gay - it is not an unreasonable assumption.

The "saying yes because it is the king" was kind of implied with Alistair's mother and King Maric, was it not? It must indeed be a dilemma...

Well, yes, the Alistair/Duncan thing is obvious enough as a father/son thing, but I believe that perhaps there could have been more - given time.

Getting a laugh out of my job, which doesn't happen often. We seem to still be doing "Easter" stuff. Learned two new "words" tonight:

"Bunny" Boots

"Carrot" braces.

Awesome shirt Timeless, sometimes new clothes are what the doctor ordered

After nine weeks I've decided to get a little greedy with my fat loss.
As of this week I've lost 9"/22.9 cm from my belly, 5.5"/13.6 cm from my waist and a net weight loss of 10.2 lbs/4.63 kg. My new goal is belly to be 33"/83.82 cm, waist 30"/76.2 cm and weight within the 165-170 lb/74.84-77.1 kg area.

Already I can fit into some old clothes, but I want to be able to fit into some of my old outfits again.

MoC: I would like to take credit for all the epicness in the photo, but I can only take credit for the epicness that is me - it was taken in a friend's room at the dormitory. But yes, that is a doll, and quite possibly pink socks :P

My soap worked out well. Now I'm off making another batch. Shit, that stuff is addictive.

Also got a job interview coming up for full time paid employment. I like to make that definition, because currently I have 2 full-time unpaid jobs - I know right? Crazy hey? But if you work on that a full time job is 30hrs a week, then I do a few, but none of them are really recognised by society. I'm a mother, carer, housekeeper (inc gardening and scullery maid) and writer.

Went to see a GF yesterday who reminded me of my awesomeness. Sometimes, I'm just too busy to even think about it.

Saya, since you've never had strawberry shortcake, here's a recipe.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/c...ipe/index.html

And one for Boston cream pie, since that's my favorite kind of cake.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/g...ipe/index.html

See, just for your awesomeness, you get a twofer.

And TR, you look truly scrumptious in that shirt. (Btw, I'm jelly of your complexion).

And Batty, keep on truckin'.

WMMD: I don't know about anywhere else, but in Denmark in older times, caning students was a viable, legal and socially accepted way to discipline students at school.
So today, I was jokingly being a smartmouth to my teacher - he does it all the time as well, so we have good laughs on that account. So then, he jokes and says if I want to go get the cane myself or if he should go get it. To this, I instantly reply "There are a lot of things you don't know about me - I might like it!"
He didn't move a muscle in his face even as the entire classroom was laughing - ten seconds later:
"... Okay then!" and he just kept on teaching :P

On Friday I was talking with Ulf, and this exchange happened:

Quote:
"I bragged about you yesterday."

"You did? What did you say?"

"I told Laura about you. I told her about you taking on The Royal Mail, about you untangling birds from trees and falling out of them nearly breaking every bone in your body. I told her about yelling at bullies and chasing them from outside the brunch place. She said that she thinks that the reason I like you so much is that I wish that there were more people like you. I think that she's right. I didn't realise it until she said that, but I like you so much because I think that you are the way that people should be. I wish that the world was full of Abys."
And then yesterday he called me to tell me that his parcel arrived with the scarf that I knitted him:

Quote:
"Did you wear the scarf before you sent it?"

"No.. how come?"

"I wondered if it smelled like you.. I really like the way that it smells."

THIS IS NOT HELPING ME NOT BE IN LOVE WITH HIM!! :|

It's also not helping me stop walking around grinning like a fool.
