I don't care what July says. I found you, I brought you ~~home~~ a'Board, and I'm keeping you. {; p

My Tolkien Companion, which my wonderful fiance found for me, defines lembas as follows:

The Sindarin name for a kind of travellers' food or "way-bread," baked by the Elves of Lothlorien. It resembled cram (the waybread of the Men of Dale) in purpose but not in effect, being quite delicious and greatly sustaining, the more so if it was not mingled with other foods. It consisted of light-golden meal-cakes which kept fresh for many days if left in their mallorn-leaf wrappings. (J.E.A. Tyler, 260)

I realize that this probably raises more questions, but I'm okay with this. ^_^

Newbie baby confusion... by Gryphongirl on 2009-06-05 05:56:00 UTC Reply

So, I think this works... typing and all.
"Hi, I'm Gryphongirl, Neshomeh dragged me into this, so it's all her fault."
I believe this is what I'm supposed to say, yesno?
Much love to all PPCers

Or. Whichever spelling works. Anyway! Hi! Here is a towel for you! *hands over said towel, which is most fluffy* Hope you have fun here!

It's very important for space-time travel. *snuggles*

*drops a large stack of books and rushes over* HIIII! I'm PitViperOfDoom, one of the many faces of insanity here at the good ol' PPC. I hope you've disposed of your own sanity already. It won't do you much good here.

I gift you with a weighted companion cube and a sock full of rocks. I'm sure they'll prove useful.

Books! Hi! Chicken! What? by Gryphongirl on 2009-06-08 03:44:00 UTC Reply

I have checked all of my pockets and discovered that I don't, in fact, have any insanity on me. It's never done me much good.
Hooray! They will never give me bad advice, and cannot, in fact, speak. Except maybe the sock...

Please don't put me under a glass,

Don't worry, I won't. by Tirya_Moonflame on 2009-06-08 18:34:00 UTC Reply

The warning is because when I first showed up, I got stuck in a giant glass jar with two other newbies to study our breeding habits... at least, I did until jabbuk d'eldrin blew up said jar with C4.

Welcome to the insanity. For your pleasure and entertainment, I hereby present you with a bag of pebbles (good for throwing at Sues) and a Random Shiny Object.

Lovely to have you here.

Nightmare Fuel

This. Forgot that not everyone has seen TV Tropes. If you're into that kind of thing, it can turn into Eldritch Abominations, which means cute cuddly stuffed Cthulhu, among other things.

Well... by Buta no Kaabii on 2009-06-08 03:58:00 UTC Reply

I have seen a stuffed Dracula, some unspecified unusually huggable tentacled horror, and an Eye of Sauron plush...

There's also been a chibi Lu Bu, complete with his halberd Sky Piercer and his prized horse, Red Hare. That's actually quite scary to certain people, namely every ordinary soldier in the Three Kingdoms era up until his death by strangulation and post-mortem beheading.

Second poke! by Huinesoron on 2009-06-05 10:55:00 UTC Reply

And welcome a'Board. How was the rest of your trip? And what on earth possessed you to listen to her and come over here? You realise there's no escape for you now, right?

hS

Esca-pe? by Gryphongirl on 2009-06-08 03:23:00 UTC Reply

...it's funny, 'cause its spelled just like escape...
The trip was fantastic, minus the bed bugs and the skateboard floor, and oh, yeah, the leaking ceiling that no one in Maintenance cared about! Heh, but it's definitely on my "Return to this place someday" list. Just not that apartment. It was condemned right after we left. Nice...

I think I suggested something to the effect of that, not to quote me directly. If I had wanted that, I wouldn't have left that comma splice in there. {; p

Oh well. Welcome to the madhouse!

Comma splice? by Gryphongirl on 2009-06-05 06:04:00 UTC Reply

What's a comma splice? And I copied and pasted that directly, so there! :P Huzzoo for madness!

*facepalm* by Neshomeh on 2009-06-05 06:14:00 UTC Reply

A comma splice is the act of using a comma to string together clauses which really ought to be separated by a period. In this case, what I should have written was "Hi, I'm Gryphongirl. Neshomeh dragged me into this, so it's all her fault."

Note the period in the middle of the line, creating two sentences where there once was one comma splice.

Feah not, young grasshoppah. You will learn. {= )
