Ahoy, Cap’n! Shiver me timbers, thar’s not a blathering speck o’ booty in sight! What’s a self-respectin’ pirate to do, Cap’n, I’m askin’ ye?!

Don’t even try it, guys. I’m hopeless. I don’t even like coffee mom-style— a little bit of coffee with my cream and sugar. 😛

@overcomer awwwww… all you guys’s overwhelmingly positive reaction has been so encouraging. Thanks so much. 😀

Yep, pretty much my first. I’ve done a comic ditty here and there, but nothing I would call ‘real poetry’. 🙂 Glad you liked it @jadamae!

@bluejay very sound advice. I shall maybe possibly not consider not doing it. *cue evil chuckle* 😉

…don’t tell me that you…don’t like…frappuccinos?

@Gretald I hate to tell you… but I don’t like frappuccinos. I don’t even like coffee. 😛

Wow, you’ve traveled! Mission work, I assume? And yay! Your favorite authors are some of mine as well! Have you read Gaskell’s ‘North & South’?
And which if R. L. Stevenson’s stories do you like— I’ve read some that I’ve loved, and one in particular I absolutely could not stomach. 😛

Welcome to KP, and many— er— happy… returns? Somehow…[Read more]

Don’t get me started on coffee. Starbucks, especially. You just can’t beat their frappuccinos.

Uuuugh. *horrified shudder* 😛

@gretald

Hey hey hey! A newcomer! Welcome to KP, @hannah-olsen! Wow, you make like the fifth Hannah on here, I’m gonna start getting you guys mixed up soon. 😛 How about you head over to the ‘Start Here’ forum and introduce yourself so we can give you a proper welcoming party?

Oh you’re still plenty weird, @ingridrd— it’s just we’re weird with you! 😉

Have some one you can talk to about all your ideas. I have a friend who I will text when I’m trying to figure out something for my WIP(s). Sometimes just talking to someone helps me think better.

@Adry_Grace don’t laugh… but I talk to my characters. 😀

It’s special to me. 😉 Most of my works are, in some way.
And I’m perfectly satisfied with your word for it— after seeing how deeply you scrutinized my ‘Dawn’ poem, I know if nothing stuck out to you that needed fixing in this one it’s probably pretty close to how it needs to be. Thanks so much!

*snorts hysterically* Duck of Alba! That’s great!

Yup, that’s the one! No, the Pope definitely wasn’t a beautiful lady. 😛 I meant about the sharp jewelry dipped in poison. 😉

@Daeus

Absolutely @Daeus. *beams approval*

*sigh* I guess ice cream will have to do. *gobbles down all twelve ice creams, wipes lips with back of hand* Mm, good ice cream. I’m not the least bit sick. *turns pasty green* No really, I’m fine. Call the doctor.

*Looks around. Blinks twice. Flashes real quick smile so fast you wonder if it was actually there. Eat’s cookie*

*makes some generally relevant response*

Your solution to the ‘someone-replied-to-me-and-I-have-to-let-them-know-I-noticed-but-there’s-nothing-really-to-reply-to’ problem, eh @Daeus? 😉 Good plan.

And… *sniffs loudly* You… y…[Read more]

A ring of beautiful lady assassins with sharp jewelry dipped in poison. (copyrighted 😛 ).

(I may or may not have gotten that idea from a minor sub-plot in the Count of Monte Cristo— I don’t remember exactly when I first had the idea. Can you guess which subplot I’m talking about, @Daeus?) 😀

@reaganramm— what about mosquitoes? 😛 😉
