Aye, we were rather disappointed to have forgotten, but the fun that we had anyhow certainly made up for it! We may try to do another sculpture tomorrow, as we'll probably be going out to the beach, along with the young man who is courting my sister ^^ Aww, and if you, can you take a photo of it?  Ooh, nice. I have mainly written for AoS only.  Lol! NO, you're definitely not. ;D Hum, actually we haven't thought about this till now. But we had an awesome christmas last year and did a Secret Santa. Aw, I can imagine.  So say, might I ask just how many guests you have during the main season? @sinbad: ;D |

*whimpers* Do I sense a fellow Tolkien geek? lol, well, I guess that would depend on the meaning of "Tolkien geek" xD I'm no expert on Tolkien's works, but I have read all three LotR, as well as The Hobbit. I like using Elvish in conversation. ;D I haven't had a chance to read the Silmarillion or any of the Histories, but I'd like to someday! *hugs your leg* |

A teensy bit ^^ I have a English/Sindarin dictionary on my computer that I like to use a lot. ;D Although, I'm not sure you could technically speak Elvish as a language, though I suppose that would depend on how developed the grammar and syntax is. And since Tolkien is no longer around, whether it would count if others continued to develop the language he created. -shrugs- |

*throws up hands like the geek she is*
I have one in printed form. Here on my desk! Directly next to uh... a book on English grammar, another one about the French Revolution and a thing called "tipps for young teachers"

French Revolution sounds interesting ^^ "Tips for young teachers"? Do you teach? |

It´s both, a collection of Elvish words with small grammar annotations, not the best possible I guess but oh well, has been of good service so far for my writing. Yep, I´m a teacher. But the book sucks. *throws away* |

I have, admittedly, steered away from writing fanfiction for the most part (other than occasional forays with my friend) because I always worry that I won't portray characters faithfully. ;D Oh that sounds like fun! As we have 9 rooms we rent out during the main season, we have had up to 25 guests or more at a time. Lots and lots of work xD |

I´m not quite sure about the term "grade school", my dictionary insists it´s AE for primary school in which it would be nope. I´m teaching at something that more resembles (junior) high school, we have three school forms for grades 5-10 or 5-12/13, I am teaching at the highest, students are in grades 5 lowest and 13 highest so they are aged between 11 and 19 roughly.

Sounds interesting ^^ And yeah, by grade school I mean between ages 6-18 (grade 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 12, respectively xD). Though my definition of grade school may be incorrect. xD I was homeschooled anyhow, so grades weren't really something I had to worry about! ;D |

Thanks for the welcome! And forgive my complete lack of intelligence at the moment (too much work O.O lol), but what do you mean by how long I've rented out? |

Aww, and if you, can you take a photo of it? Yup! Cool. Looking forward to seeing it (if there will be one  ). Myeah, that's one of my every-time worries, too. Guess it's also the reason for having written more and more one-shots that focus on only one or two characters (mostly those I understand the best xD). Ooh, it was. Especially as we had the weirdest but also most fitting pairings like: Sinbad had to make a present for Turok, Mala for Scratch, Turok for Bryn, Maeve for Dermott... and it was all just coincidence as we had made a lottery for that one. *really thinks we should do this again this year* ;D Huch, yeah, that sounds a lot. But I bet you also meet a lot of interesting poeple during that time, right? |

The anticipation, also, of tourism season is often made worse when people start talking about their plans for summer vacation xD
