Got a phone call from cette_vie today!

[conuly]

She called at Jenn's and freaked out my family. "We have somebody named Connie for... Connie?"

*grins*

Well, I *did* ask her too.

And I promised to say something nice and not at all political, so I shall wish you all a happy thanksgiving. Tomorrow I'll explain why some people do NOT have happy thanksgivings, what there is to NOT be thankful for, and why you should buy nothing.

But today I'm being friendly and social.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody, assuming you celebrate it.

Ooh, and 'dul made biscuits, but they didn't rise properly, so they're really flat, and Mommy called them discus biscuits, and you know what? They really are! They're like dwarf bread! You can throw them like frisbees! Scary.

Biscuits as in our scones, right?

I'm really good at making those. Mine rise to at least twice their size.

[conuly]

NOt as in cookies, yes, but I'm not sure they're like our scones. OUR scones are sweet, and not biscuit-shaped.

[ser-kai.livejournal.com]

Ours can be sweet or savoury but are generally sweet.

Discuits?

[conuly]

*grins* Yes.

This is a marketing ploy waiting to happen. ;)

You're quite welcome about that phone call. Anytime. *wink*

Absolutely LOVE your icon! S'got me singing sonts from rent now. Which is a good thing.

[cette-vie.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I get a lot of that, and you're quite welcome. =D

Not that this is related to your post in the slightest, but I thought you might be interested in this article on prescriptivism: http://www.livejournal.com/community/grammarpolice/2085108.html

[conuly]

Looks like something you're more likely to be interested in, but thanks :)

[conuly]

Ooh, it *was* interesting.

[marveen.livejournal.com]

Well, I was trying to promote a dialogue.

(See, I told you it was interesting.)

[conuly]

We *always* argue about this. You don't need to promote a dialogue, exactly.

Anyway, today I'm gorging on whipped cream, the real type. So no talk, no fight.

[marveen.livejournal.com]

Heh. As though I could argue with real whipping cream.

(I won't touch the fake stuff. But you probably knew that.)
