@seekjustice Actually, I never have.  but I am looking her up and it looks really cool!

@rochellaine I guess they would, yeah.

I read your poem.  Love it!

@rochellaine

I’ll make sure to mention that to mum. grapes will be in season soon, I think. And yes, it’s almost summer (urgh).

Okay, I’ll take a look in a second.

@notawriter

Thank you 🙂 I am currently well stocked with green tea, so hopefully I’ll be fine 🙂

@ariel-ashira

I imagine you’ve heard of Blandina too, then. She’s awesome as well 😀

@ariel-ashira I’ve told you about Daughter of Judas before. 😉

Well, I think, being a teenage girl, she wouldn’t be overly important to the religious leaders.  But the religious leaders didn’t really seem to care what her father did after he betrayed Jesus.  Remember when he tried to give back the money, they basically said “what do we care a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I know exactly what you mean. 😉

You should definitely try freezing grapes sometime.  You’re getting close to summer now, aren’t you?

Okay, great!  It’s a bit too long to post on KP, but I’ll put an open access document here.  (So @ariel-ashira and @notawriter feel free to take a look to…[Read more]

@seekjustice Neat!  There are a lot of people who give me blank looks when I say her name.

@ariel-ashira

That’s really cool! I was reading about Perpetua quite recently actually, in one of my dad’s college textbooks 😀

@rochellaine Your book sounds SO neat!

Do you think some of the religious leader would’ve shunned her as well since her father returned the money and hung himself?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @notawriter

I am researching various parts of roman life and stuff about Perpetua’s diary, trying to fill in the gaps on my story.  Yes, its a his-fic story.

Yeah, an SE his-fic topic would be cool!

@ariel-ashira Are you still working on your Biblical times story too?

@notawriter I want to say my stress levels, 😛 but we’ll go with “I’m working on a short story to submit to an anthology and it’s fun so far!”

@ariel-ashira Oh, what are you working on now? Still his-fic? I’ve been thinking of making an SE thread for historicals, cause I think that would be fun.  What do you think?

@notawriter I consider that a very quick reply. 😉  But I’ll be prepared in case there are slower ones.

My current novel is about the fictional daughter of Judas Iscariot.  I consider this a very interesting premise to work with because in all the New Testament novels I’ve read the Christians are the nice people and the unbelievers are the a…[Read more]

@notawriter I am doing well.  Looking forward to writing this thing when I finish all this research…!

@rochellaine

And to clarify, when I say “I know a lot” I mean that I know a lot for an average run of the mill Australian girl.

And no, I haven’t. I’d never even thought of freezing grapes.

I’ll definitely read it, if you want to post it 😀

@notawriter @ariel-ashira Hello there!

@rochellaine I love frozen grapes!

Can I read your poem??

@notawriter Hi!

I am just researching, and stalking this topic. 😉

@notawriter Hiieeee!!!  You’re here! 😀

@seekjustice I see. 🙂

Have you ever had frozen grapes?  We freeze them ourselves, just washing them and putting them in a plastic bag in the freezer.  They’re an amazing summer snack.  Would you believe it…we’ve actually frozen raisins too. 😛  We used to put frozen raisins in our oatmeal for breakfast.  I remember liking it quite a lot, thou…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have a friend who’s mother knows a lot about the culture and has done some travelling, so I hear about it quite a lot.

Our family doesn’t eat frozen fruit, except for putting in smoothies or milkshake sort of things. I think my siblings like eating frozen blueberries a bit.

Actually, I can tell you that I do like canned fruit a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, it’s because of the Middle Eastern background.  Wow, that was a quick connection you made!

I like fresh fruit too, and agree that dried fruit is not the best.  I like dried apricots and mango a lot.  Dried cranberries are probably my favorite, but those have to be sweetened, because they’re extremely sour. 😉  What do you thin…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, I think so. It’s a pizza stable here, and I think the cheapest pizza you can buy 😀 Do you not eat ham because of your Middle Eastern background?

Yes, we do 😀 Though at restaurants it usually only comes on expensive burgers.

I have had them before but I don’t like them. I really like fruit, but I’m strictly a fresh fruit…[Read more]
