      @catwing  They do sound cute!

      Don’t you live on a farm? I forgot. If so what kinds of animals do you have?

      You can pronounce it however you want.

        @seekjustice Are you at the library yet?  I did end up thinking of a song. 😛  For some reason it jumped into my head this evening, and as I realized that I hadn’t told you about it before.  It is old, though, so you might not like it. 🙁

        "Sylvester - Sylvester!"

            @seekjustice “Gesticulate” from Kismet.  In the musical, right before the song, a poet/storyteller is arrested and his hand threatened to be cut off.  The guy in charge gives him a chance to argue, and he sings this song about how much his hand is needed in his profession, and why he can’t be a storyteller without his hand.  You have to see his hand motions as he sings the song, at least the first time, so if you can, watch Howard Keel’s version rather than listening to Alfred Drake’s, though I prefer the musical arrangement of Drake’s better.

            Do you remember Howard Keel?  He did the “Sobbin’ Women” song which you thought was quite strange. 😛

            Kismet is just as hilarious and weird a musical as Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and I absolutely love it. 😀

              All right. I’ll have a look at it in a minute! What are you working on at the moment?

                @seekjustice I’m working on a new short story.

                What do you do in town besides go to the library?

                  Cool….what’s it about?

                  Depends. Today we had to drop my mum’s car off to get serviced and then went to some op shops. We usually have to do grocery shopping and on Fridays I do dancing and youth group.

                    @seekjustice I’ll give the whole thing away if I tell you, so you’ll have to wait and read it when it’s done. 😉

                    Nice. 🙂  How far from town do you live?

                      Okay then 😛

                      About half an hour from town 😀

                        @seekjustice Oh, that’s not too bad.  We used to live that far out, except for I think a farmers market or something that was nearby.  Nobody visiting could EVER find our house! 😛  We got so many calls from guests, saying “sorry, we’re confused.  Where exactly are you?”

                        Now we live in the suburbs (I think that’s what it’s called) so the stores are only a few minutes away, which is really nice.

                          We used to live with another family a bit further out than that, but everyone knew where they lived so we were right 😛 What’s annoying about where we live now though is that we technically live at an address which is different to our postal address, which makes it hard when people try to deliver stuff to us. (What happens is that we live on a corner block and we live at number 779, but the actual address is 31 and that’s the number on the gate. Confuses so many people!)

                            @seekjustice Do people use satellite GPS in Australia?  I know it can still be hard to find something even with that, though.

                                @dekreel Hi!!  I’m starting to get sleepy, though.  I’ll be here for a few more minutes.

                                What are you working on?

                                  @rochellaine Yeah they do, but apparently it doesn’t work all that well 😛

                                  Sorry, I wasn’t ignoring you 😀 How’s things? I’ve been going through your comments!
