i. In YA lit discussion today, I apparently made a really awesome connection...only I didn't really think it was all that awesome.

Have ye a stalker, young Sarah?

Arr ... when I was a wee lad...

Also I tried to think if I had any piratey (piratical?) music on my xPod and I don't think so, and in particular I remember I don't have brand new -- "play crack the sky" which makes me terribly sad because how am I supposed to emo properly over Wes/Inyri?

tears_of_nienna <---Pirate patch on your LJ...er...matey! 8D (I'm more ninja than pirate and not very adept at the lingo ;;)

[tears_of_nienna]

Err...avast?

[tears_of_nienna]

And would ye know how to get rid of this robot? As I seem to be lackin' in the proper plank-walking necessities at the moment, like a plank and water over which to suspend it.

[tears_of_nienna]

Aye, but do'ee think it's worth wastin' the rum on such a one as that? Ah, well, if it's me one option, I'll take it. But I'll be takin' a swig before I spalsh 'im. PD (eyepatch grin!)
