Lovely use of the prompts, especially the creative one. You did a wonderful character study on each of them with these words.

Awwwww! I love how they compliment each other so well!

*feels sheepish*

So I,E,C is still my favorite out of the prompts you took and did; that said, I like this one lots, too. It took me a bit to decide how I felt about the dictionary definitions, but, in the end, I think they enrich the pieces.

Plus, they learn me some things I didn't know about my own favorite words. Like the N.E. definitons of "clever"? What is that about? Clever. It means, you know, crafty. Sly (in the non-Firefly sense of the word). You can't be clever if you're dim-witted. Silly dictionary. Silly New Englanders. Silly Southerners.

And now I've got to ask where you got your definitions, 'cause I want to see what else this dictionary has to say.

[These words are, in fact, the three terms (well, three positive terms) most frequently used to describe yours truly. So I'm having this weird brain-bendy thing going, "Woah. R/J are totally me." And if you imagine Keanu Reaves c. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, that's exactly how I sounded when I said that.]

Also, thank you for taking and doing two. I

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you liked it, but i think I agree. I liked the other one (Birthday Desires) better too.

The definitons I found at MSN Encarta dictionary.
The British one is at:

And the Canadian one is at: http://ca.encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/dictionaryhome.aspx .

Enjoy!! And I hope you had a brilliant birthday. *21 hugs for the birthday woman!*

I just loved that idea... River keeping him going at it all night long! And you know he just wouldn't say no! :wink:

I really enjoyed writing this...all the reasons why River and Jayne are so good together. Kinda like a Rayne Manifesto....

And, yes I am working on a Hamilton mmets a woman to be reckoned with fic, with guinny_hamilton... We've been tossing around ideas on LJ talk.. and I think it's going to be a good one.
