The whole world will be SINGING!

It's very hard to type when you're eyes are watering. Why are my eyes watering? Because I just cut up an entire onion to go in the dehydrator. Ugh. My eyes are swollen feeling. I can tell. It's awful.

Last night I decided to take some time off of writing, specifically the snail_mail_porn story. Only I somehow managed to do about three hours worth of research for another story instead. One of the things I was researching were version of the St. George and the Dragon story (I'm going to turn this yaoi and write this. I can already tell. My fate is sealed once I start getting ideas).

One of the version is a mid 16th century ballad that I found on Google books ♥. Now in the 16th century, spelling was not at its high point. I wasn't too surprised at the "dye" instead of "die" or "suckt" instead of "sucked." (My mind just went some place it really shouldn't have...) But I was not expecting the absolute best unconventional spelling I have come across in quite some time.

Asswage.

After I stopped laughing hysterically, I was finally able to figure out that the correct spelling was supposed to be "assuage." Even now I'm giggling. Asswage. That would be like the best damn name for a sword.

Finally, miome will be coming to Indianapolis for good either tomorrow or Monday. I am trying not to think too hard on this because I will start alternately doing to the happy dance and flailing in worry. So... not thinking. Writing instead.

My girlfriend, my kitties, and my bed. Soon I shall be reunited with each. Well, the bed will take longer since the moving company said it will be here between the 1st and the 8th of August. -_-

real life, weird sense of humor, story research, lol, cooking, grammar nazi
