I've just finished reading a book about Britain in 1348. It talked about those who kept journals. The early entries spoke in great detail about who was dead, the circumstances surrounding their deaths, the prayers, the implications etc. By the finish, the journals petered off to just names.

Oh! I want to read Boccaccio next! I've been scutting on the internet for a translation of 'The Decameron', but haven't seen a free one. I'm currently on the dole, so I shouldn't really be adding to my already overspilling library with more books. Soon as I get a job, I'll get Boccaccio. His testimony informed historians what must have been happening all over Europe.

Joking is good. :D

You get aroused when I read between your lines? Yay! I'll do it more often. *smirk*

I REALLY can't wait. Ever since Maru-Light said she was getting the cosplay together, I've been waiting with all the over-excitement of an obsessed fangirl.

She didn't tell me she had finished it (with the exception of the vest), so when she comes out decked out in it Sat night, my jaw fell through the floor and kept going. XD I can't wait to start posting them. ::fidget::

I agree with the Black Death theory. My regular site, SingleOrganicMachine, was also banned now. DX

Well, I figured I should leave a comment before watching or anything, it's only polite.

I am amazed at your writing ability. I've read all of your fics so far, and It never ceases to amaze me how flowing and detailed your stories are.
Thank you for writing such wonderful stories, and I must say, you seem like an very intelligent person, which makes me happy, because it seems the general human population's iq is diminishing day by day.

Happy day. :]
