Oimoi! ('Alas' in ancient Greek)...

[stylophile]

Eek! Am horribly behind on answering pretty much anything that has come my way in a computerly manner! I have a HUGE backlog of emails and comments to answer because I have been at summer school for two weeks having an intense crash course in ancient greek. More on that when next we meet. I’ve only just got back but I am going to London on Thursday

oooooooooooh! you're alive!!!

And a tattoo?! You should post a pic of it whenever you get a chance!

Have loads of fun while in London!!! *prays for no more terrorist attacks*

*huggles*

I survived London! Whoop! I will post a pic as soon as I am able but I am rather technologically illiterate and it might take me a while! Will update more frequently from now on, I promise.

Wow, you are still here! I was getting really worried! Your Greek course sounds amazing, and like heaps of fun. I don't have time now to read the fics you posted, I'm about to go off to a 3 hour examination, I should really be studying! But I'll read them when I get back. I'm so glad you are around! Oh, and a tatoo? *squee* sounds lovely! I'll comment again when I've read the rest. I just wanted to say hi! *hugs&give flowers* *hugs again*

Greek was so fab. It's the best language evah! I hope your exam went well, my dear, and I'm sorry for distracting you with slash! 'Tis cruel of me, 'tis!

*hugs back*

Yay, you're alive! And you totally need to post a photo of your tattoo. Hope all is going well. ^^

[stylophile]

Yes! I am alive! I would post a photo but I have no idea how to! Any technical advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice! Alas, my summer days have been so very hectic. I'm glad you liked the fics and I promise I will start posting far more frequently.

Well, let's see. I did get a few...

One of those I could possibly get away with but losing both would look like carelessness.”

"To lose one parent may be regarded as misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."

But the one about sobriety in moderation... Is that a Ciardi quote?

Anyway, then there was another from Dorian Gray:
"People like you--the wilful sunbeams of life--don't commit crimes, Dorian."

Damn, you are good! I saw a few others, but that first one has always been a favorite. Your description was flawless as always; the impression of decadence that it leaves... BEAUTIFUL!! You are sooooo good!

[stylophile]

I sense a Wilde enthusiast! Wow, you found some of the more obscure ones but I must confess my own ignorance of Ciardi. Who's that?

So glad you liked the ficlet, thanks so much for commenting, love.

Heh. Yeah. I loff Mr. Wilde. John Ciardi was an American poet... died in the early 1980's, I think... Anyway, apparently he was a very quotable guy. I think his exact quote was "There is nothing wrong with sobriety in moderation." Hehe. I like that one. Oh! And by the way, I got my first tattoo on my foot too. That was over a year ago. I got stars across the top of my foot. Not many people put them there. I love mine. We should start a club; maybe the "Decorated Foot Society," or something. *winks* Tootles!

[stylophile]

OMG you got a tattoo on your foot too?! We are so ahead of the times (you more than me, I bow to your foresight).

Ciardi sounds damn cool and I shall be checking him out.

We should definitely start a decorated foot society, I'll make badges and we can have marches and stuff. Yay!
