And I'm... a part of that...

*Sighs* So a teacher couldn't make it to this... writers gala thing and my old English teacher asked me at the last minute. Turns out the EiC of Imag was going ANYWAY and this other girl who doesn't even write as far as I know. And I'm the fucking last minute stand in. AND WRITING ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING TO ME WHEN IT TOTALLY DOESN'T TO THOSE TWO. ARGH.

I hate that man. Honestly I do.

Anyway, fun thing even if I wore a skirt.  And I got a hug from a history teacher from the middle school, even though he never had me. He likes me. And told me to give mom a hug for him. He's the sweetest guy. His wife's cool too. (She's an author, was one of the speakers.)

I have a splitting headache.

I missed a hello from Tessa, though, and a call from Sarah. I feel bad and lonely.

But... I'm writing. I may have found a place for Natan in Apocalypse!verse, I think--I love him so much, I couldn't help it. It's not set in stone, really, as I really want him somewhere where I can play with class marriage stuff, so he might move around depending. But for the moment he's in Apocalypse!verse and a standin. And he makes a good peon--I mean, rich enough that he got a lieutenancy but  still had to go to the war and not high enough to be all safely out of harm's way.

And Jen? I've started that SiC scene. Be happy.  *Sighs* I love Neran. And he does so much. Neran's the catalyst for a rediscovered appreciation of life, basically. Oh, male bonding stories. Without gay undertones. At least, no intentional ones. They're so not gay together, really they're not at all. I love it.

Mental note to self: play with some gay guys in this regiment and have them flirt with the cute captain. Muchly needed.

Anyway.  Uhm.  *sighs* Oh, right. That's why I wanted Natan. Nevermind. He can play elsewhere, I guess. Probably Elemental!verse, where he belongs.  Or belongs better.  (Side note: odd, that in Bard!verse there's no singing magic. ...Or that I have none whatsoever yet. That's incredibly out of character for me. Must remedy that.)

Anyway, a quick note about names, for the sake of my own reference: Kalenes--once Kialort (Keye-al-ort) and Perenes, probably duchies or something, combined to be Kalenes.  Kialort names tend to be a lot more... hard consonants, ts and zs and ks, more is and o sounds (eg, the entire main family).  Perenes names tend to be more... soft-consonants, as and es and flowing (eg, Neran and Leransen and Desanen).  Obviously lots of "en" names. Valira are much more... vowel based names, and more... something. I haven't dealt with Valira enough yet to know.
