I rarely ever have nightmares. It's quite nice.

The stupid clouds from the Weeping are obstructing my view. No, seriously it's been drizzling/misting constantly for five whole days now.

.........if they basically don't exist, then why do we have them?

The Aeronaut's Windlass come out in three days, the local Renaissance Festival is rolling into town on Oct. 3rd, and Shadows of Self is released Oct. 6th. I'M SO PUMPED FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND A HALF

..........I thought you were a human? I know what it is, but no I've never heard it.

...........gesundheit?

Okay. And what function do these letters perform? And how the heck do you pronounce them?

YASSSSSSSSSSS

No seriously. It's lodged in there quite good.

Or write "I FiGht EviL" on your chest with a sharpie after the Butler-inator has captured you. That could work too!

My mother's birthday party is on Sunday! She's turning the big 50 and we're going to surprise her! My Older sister and her family is already here, and my older brother and his new girlfriend will be here too! It will be nice to celebrate and have the whole family home.

Heh. Assassin's Creed taught me how to curse in Italian. Back to Swedish, I don't know any of this stuff! But it's interesting to see you guys talk about it! I may or may not stick my head in and comment/ask a question every now and then. First question, what is the Swedish alphabet? How does it differ from the English one?

Annddddd now I have Bad Blood by Bastille stuck in my head. Thanks.

It's weird to me, because my feet are always cold when no other part of my body is! I go around in shorts and a t-shirt most of the time, but it's always my feet that are freezing.

I have been thinking up some of the wildlife for my steppes. I have also named my territory the Karraig Plains; because carraig is Irish for rock and I imagine them basically like the Plains of Rohan. Babhlas are large, docile herbivores about four feet tall at the shoulder and six-seven feet long. Babhlas are incredibly intelligent. They have large, bowl like shells that they use, in addtition to their size, to protect themselves from predators. They roam around in small herds of ten to fifteen individuals. They have short, wide tails that they store fat in, and two short, fleshy appendages on the ends of their noses. Babhlas use these to interact with their environments. They're basically a mix between turtles and elephants. At the moment I don't really plan on the babhlas using any magic. Fiacla are the apex predators of the Karraig Plains. Fiacla live and hunt alone, only interacting with their own species to mate and raise their young. These creatures are fiercely territorial, attacking almost anything they discover inside their domain. They have long legs, which they use to run down their prey. Fiaclas have broad, flat heads and a mouth chock full of pointy teeth. They also have retractable claws on their forepaws, and claws on their back paws which they cannot retract. Their tails are long to help them keep their balance in high speed chases. Male fiaclas determine dominance by the amount of yellow lumuoles that they have ingested. The male with the higher lumuole count wins, and gains the other males territory. This is significant because the larger a males territory, the more likely he will impress a female and convince her to mate with him. Fiaclas also use green lumuoles to help them detect their prey, by seeking out the life....ness..... of their prey. The point is it helps them hunt. And then I have the groundwork for a third species, which would be small and omnivorous. They live/hunt in packs but other than that I don't have a lot on them yet.

I have on a pair of socks and a pair of slippers. HOW ARE MY FEET STILL THIS COLD!??!?!

I would love to run my own bookstore. Maybe with some editing/authoring on the side.

Border scuffles! I like those! Let's do it. Ummmm. I'm thinking that my people would be more nomadic herdsmen since, you know steppes. Of course they could be semi-nomadic and change locations every few years. Would that work? But then our people would have an interesting interactions dynamic, slaughtering each other one year and then trading peacefully the next.

What did I tell you about posting images of Weeping Angels?! Also, Bruce is a good name for a pug.

I would love to purchase a cheaper computer, but I also don't want one that will crash after two years of use sooooooo. Any suggestions for laptops like that would be greatly appreciated!

My feet are cooollllddddd. Also I really want to pre-order the Aeronaut's Windlass and Shadows of Self, but you know, money. I'm trying to save up for a new macbook, but all these new books keep tempting me.

Hooray! I have neighbors! Mailliw, Gwslow and Edgedancer feel free to PM me if you have questions about my territory. Same goes for any future neighbors or even anyone else, really. I was thinking of having my shores very rocky, although not cliffs like Winter's. As for flora and fauna, I haven't really come up with anything yet but I don't really have any objections to you doing so either. It's gloriously chaotic. I really like this, Seonid! I especially like the lekia. They're like awesome fantasy tattoos! I realize that most of my posts on this thread have just been crazily (sometimes incoherently) praising everything people say......... ah well. I'll actually contribute soon. I promise. Probably.

I realize it would be very unlikely, but why can't someone be the descendant of two demigods who had ingested different kinds of lumuoles? Then they would be able to access the abilities of both types of lumoule, say green and purple to enhance their shapeshifting ability.

My little brother is the only child in our family who is not either in college or graduated from college, and he's a junior. My sister, who is the oldest of the four of us, has a Master's degree in Psychology and recently had her first child. I know I shouldn't because I'm really not, but sometimes I feel really, sparking old.

Heh, I have way too many world building projects going on. Mostly because I can't for the life of me stick to one story/world at a time. It's a problem.
