the day after

Nov 20, 2005 20:53

Went to an eating disorders self-help group this a.m. with a friend then foibey and I went up to the heath. Chekced out a hand-fasting location; un-touristy and nice. Hands were held. Snogging. :-) Then Hampstead Tea Rooms for CAKE, followed by flopping at home. TOO MUCH SLEEP for an afternoon nap; I awoke after 7 p.m.

cake, hand-fasting, love, ed

Oh yeah, well I... I went to my s/o's mom's house to do demo work. I.e. I moved all the furniture into the garage, tore up most of the carpeting, and painted the walls. Beat that, huh? :P

I know Thanksgiving isn't exactly international, but HAPPY FUCKING TURKEY WEEK! :D Be thankful for shit and eat some cranberries... oh, I don't know.

P.S. What's "hand-fasting"? And "Snogging"? And "Cake"?

*blinks* *takes at face value*

Hand-fasting is a pagan wedding ritual.

Snogging is british slang for making out.

Cake is probably something that is not cake, so I will have to let the owner post a response to that one.

Actual cake involving wheatflour, sugar, eggs, cocoa, baking etc. LJ took ages to forward the comment I'm replying to.

Nye (formerly helensaysping)

Ah. Glad I was right.

It is sometimes hard to tell when one is using slang and when one is not, especially when one capitalizes.

But it does sound yummy, and I totally understand why the response took so long. Happened to me too.

Have I mentioned that I think Nye is an awesome name?

Thanks Mikhaila :-)

Now and always, welcome.

I actually did a bit of digging into the background of the name. (I'm a bit of a linguistics geek.)

I got:

NYE
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Welsh
Extra Info: Related Names

Pet form of ANEIRIN

I named myself for Nye Bevan the (Welsh) health secretary of the 1945-51 labour government, which brought in the National Health Service. Thanks for the interest in my name!

Quite a name to live up to. I've always been rather fond of Welsh and Anglo names, though names in general have always been a point of interest for me. And since I have a boyfriend named Seamus (legally Shamus), I've done some digging around. Still haven't figured out if Seamus is a bastardization of James, or vice versa. The world may never know.

You're a friend, even if virtual, and I try to find points of interest in my friends. Gives me stuff to ramble on about.
