STILL waiting for the tailcoat pattern. Hoping to start it this weekend, but... Gae Bolg work it'll be, then. I hardly did any of it this week, most of my evenings were spent moping over things and trying to write an ending for the current fic. I want a really quiet ending, but there are loose ends that need tying up and those seem to definitely require a lot of dialogue. Hn. Maybe there should be an epilogue (that escape route for authors who can't end their stories properly.)

STILL debating whether or not I should get that camera lens. Though I don't remember if I ever mentioned that here so the STILL part probably is a bit ???.

STILL battling with arrogance at work.

It took me three attempts to spell "rhythmic" just now. Is "rhythm" the only English word that has no vowel, I wonder?

Words with no vowels.

Though some of them I think they're bullshitting. Wtf is a 'MYRRH'? :|

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

XD I guess rhythm is just the longest no-vowel word, then! Unless if hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm counts. XD

[kedi-kedi.livejournal.com]

I just came across this randomly whilst searching for your thingy XDDDDD

Clearly the Welsh are big fans of the keysmash ;D

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Myrrh! As any child who was forced to take part in a nativity play in school would know. (My pain.) ;;;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

......MRGH. DX

[kedi-kedi.livejournal.com]

Yagyuu is not amused.

In the case of rhythm, y is the vowel :o (IDK about there, but we were taught that y is the vowel if there is no other present...or the just want y to be a vowel.)

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

They probably meant you treat the Y as a vowel in terms of pronunciation?

[xiu]

IDK. I just remember learning this stuff and them going SO THE VOWELS ARE A-E-I-O-U AND SOMETIMES Y.

I don't want to go to anthropology class this early in the morning, Pez ;o;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

;0; Do you get to look at boring diagrams of bodies?

[xiu]

No, we got to discuss malaria and why people with sickle cell anemia don't get it ;o;

And someone likened natural selection/reproduction to gangstas in the 'hood. Somehow my professor rolled with it.

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Y is totally a pseudovowel. It acts as one on occasion but it is not really a member of the club... damn poser.

[xiu]

Exactly!

Liz's brain is functioning on a slightly higher level than mine at the moment ;o;

/has been awake for all of 15 minutes and has not yet had tea or coffee D:

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Liz has a lot of experience with y-wrangling, given her surname.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I still insist on pronouncing your J.

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

It doesn't like to be pronounced. It's shy. ;;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

But if I don't pronounce it I might forget it's there. ;;

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Oh come now. How could you forget. The horror tends to etch itself onto people's minds.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I still remember buying plane tickets to Japan over the phone and spelling our names to the operator...

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

I just wrote yours down for the guy at the bank last week (and had to point out which bit was surname). he seemed inordinately confused by the whole thing. Possibly he was just thrown because he'd had to type my name moments before.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I reckon the beef fat bit of my name confuses the heck out of people.

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

THAT TOO. "You want to send money to... WHAT? How will it spend it? HOW DID IT GET AN ACCOUNT? D:"

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

BEEF FAT IS A PERFECTLY RESPECTABLE TYPE OF FAT.

UNLIKE, I DON'T KNOW, HEDGEHOG FAT.

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Now you have gone and hurt Cousin George's feelings. That was cruel. You KNOW he is sensitive. :|

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Dude, George's layer of fat is so thick that he doesn't feel anyone poking him, so how can he be sensitive?

[xiu]

I STILL CAN'T PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE J IS SILENT. D:

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

DON'T LET IT SEE YOU'RE AFRAID.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yagyuu is a pseudoniou, acts like Niou on occasion but is definitely not Niou? and is definitely a poser.

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Quite so.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

*replies just to use Niou icons*

ILU guys ;o; You made my sickly-feeling self feel much better. ;o;

[solaas.livejournal.com]

They do indeed rock. :D

Also, where I come from, y is a proper vowel. Just like æ, ø and å. :)

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Val gave me this lecture last night. ;; Apparently the poor y needs protecting from us heathens. I still say you people have a complete excess of vowels. Which I totally cannot deal with because I can't even make half the sounds in my own language quite right. D:

[solaas.livejournal.com]

Start with the proper y. Make Val teach you how to pronounce the name "Ylva". It's one of my favourite Swedish names, and it's got a very nice Y to start it off. :)
