@Sarah-h huh. I guess I’ve never looked for it. 🙂

@kate-flournoy – Yes lunch. (Which I have had now. It is actually 12:54pm) And if it was 8pm over here I’d be heading to bed. Which sounds nice cause I had a late night (got to bed at 1am) cause my sister had her engagement party. But no, I still have the whole afternoon ahead of me.

Lunch @bluejay! It’s 8:00 pm here! 😛

Oops sorry @daeus. (My fingers are way toooo fast for my brain and I’m hungry for lunch so my head isn’t focused.) 😛

You were right @writefury. It is the fear of long words. (Thank you Google. 🙂 ) I like your idea too @deaus

If that’s what it is, I definitely have it!

YES. All of the above. 😀

Oh good grief, you guys make me shudder! Where do you find these terrible tongue twisters?!?! 😛 😛 😛

Yes! Yes! Yes! Normally I hate maths (I have a soon to be brother-in-law who can’t understand how I can dislike it) but Nat makes me wish that I had a better brain and I sometimes feel like learning Latin and Greek too. 🙂

I have no idea what they do as I’m Australian not New Zealand. I found it in a book and loved it ever since. 😛

It’s a great book. It is written so well that it is interesting and yet it still has a great lot of history in it.

By the way, this is the name of a hill in New Zealand. Have fun trying to say it –
taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu 😀 And for another interesting name, a town in France has the shortest name – Y. 😛

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia – what a word! What does it mean? 🙂

Yay!!!. I read it to my eldest sister and had to stop so many times cause I was laughing too hard. (And there was the occasional teary scene) 😛

@Daeus, Yes! Doesn’t Tolkien use the word discombobulated? Or maybe I’m thinking of confusticated. 🙂

Some of my personal favorites are pseudonym (I just love that way it sounds) and hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (I think I spelled that right…).

Hi everyone! Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. 🙂

Thank you all for your advise! @writefury, I haven’t done much of anything yet…I guess I didn’t know where to start (but I did come up with the MC’s name, which is a start 🙂 ).

@hannah-krynicki, that’s a great idea! I’ll have to try that.

@kate-flournoy and @daeus, I will have to refer back…[Read more]

Oh yes! Carry on Mr. Bowditch— that’s one of my favorites as well. 🙂
