Lunar Inklings

@kaya-young Short, sweet fantasy names for a girl…coming right up! 😀

I don’t know if you’ll like any of these, but here’s what I’ve got:

Crin
Kalla
Jeng/Jaing (This sounds almost like Jane, for some reason. Try saying it aloud and you’ll see. 😛 )
Thira
Fraye
Layna
Korlie
Nonen
Myla

@alia We’re cleaning out the garage, but I’ve got about a fifteen minute break so I’m trying to get a little writing in now.  Are you still here?

@seekjustice No, no!  How would I survive?!  …oh, yeah…maybe the way my fathers and their fathers before them survived?

Oh by the way, will you please read the Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn books before you listen/watch the musicals?  As always, there might be some differences and the books are the ones that are the actual classics.

@alia Have yo…[Read more]

@seekjustice I am avoiding writing a blog post and watching YouTube videos. 😀  Hooray!

According to Jen’s orders I will ask you, what are you listening to? 😉

@jenwriter17 It’s not Christmas season! 😛  But I love the Boyer Sisters.  Haha, thanks for reminding me of them, though.  Since they kinda stopped their blog I haven’t thought of the…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yeah, well, I’ve got plenty of free time.  I just don’t spend all of it writing.  And when I do write I go slowly, delete scenes, or get distracted. 😉  I hope it all goes well for you, though!

@seekjustice Apparently, yes, I’m still here. 😛  Are you working on anything right now?

@jenwriter17 I cannot understand how you people are able to write so fast!  But congratulations anyway, even though I’m jealous. 😛

@alia Oh, I haven’t heard many of the songs from that one, but I really don’t like it. 😛

Have you read the original book?

@jenwriter17 Hello!  Yes, I’m here.  How’s your writing coming?  What are you working on?

@alia I’m sorry, I didn’t see your post until now.  Definitely praying!

@alia Which Tom Sawyer musical are you talking about?  There are a couple of different ones.  The one I recommended to @seekjustice was the Disney 1973 one, but I doubt that’s the one you were listening to. 😉  So, which was it?

@seekjustice Apparently not. 😛  But I’m here now.  I was at a baseball game.  We lost. 🙁

Have you ever seen a baseball game?  I know you do cricket instead in Australia.  I read a fictional book about an American guy who went to Australia and was friends with some cricket players, but he kept making them embarrassed by yelling “home run!” when…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira @alia @skredder Is anyone around?  I’ve got probably about an hour or so to work right now.

@daughteroftheking What happens next?  Chaos!  That’s why Star Trek has the Prime Directive, right? 😛  But that’s an interesting concept.

It reminds me a little of TNG’s The Inner Light, though it’s actually very different.  Just they both have a dying alien race that wants to be remembered.  Have you seen that episode?

@seekjustice Haha, you probably did, but that poor guy from Canada had such a hard time I wasn’t sure if it was possible for people who hadn’t seen it to understand.

I found two YouTube videos which include variations on the American man…[Read more]

Hey people!  I’m finally here! 😀

@alia Haha, yeah, I guess that’s reasonable.  If Americans are the only ones who do it, someone who’s grown up in Asia wouldn’t be used to it even if you are technically American. 😉

@seekjustice Hahaha!!  I wonder if you even did it right? 😛  You had to just guess from my description, but I don’t know how goo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yup.  Apparently it’s only an American thing.  No, I don’t think it’s weird, it was @seekjustice who originally said she thought it sounded weird.  But I guess it would be hard to picture if you’ve never seen it.  I know that it’s actually hard for people from other countries to get because we had a family from Canada stay with us a l…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh yeah, I was thinking about young people a bit older, I guess.  Kids up until they’re about sixteen or seventeen don’t shake hands with each other, though always with older people.  (The older initiates, though, unless there’s a precocious youngster. 😉 )  When they get to their late teens they start shaking hands with each ot…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Thank you! 😀  I was so sure, but then, trying as one American to state a fact about our huge country was kind of intimidating and I wanted to make certain. 😛  @seekjustice needs to come to America to see just how normal and not-awkward the handshake hug really is. 😉

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  The awkward head nodding thing with male friends! 😛  Sometimes the guy is confident and just goes out to shake your hand, but if he’s not sure if you want to and you’re too shy to initiate the handshake, it’s kind of awkward.  Especially if you just hugged his sister or something… 😉

Um…hmm…of course! 😀  Wha…[Read more]

@seekjustice It’s about the least awkward greeting I can imagine, for men.  They won’t go in for a hug usually, but a handshake is never awkward.  Then they can show they’re a bit more friendly by adding a half hug on to the end of it.

Women do it sometimes, but it’s mostly a guy thing.  And a guy greeting a woman will usually either shake her ha…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 No, I do not. 🙂  How does that work?

(I do know what Goodreads is, of course!  I use it all the time to look up books.  I’m just not sure what an author account would do or how you would set it up.)
