nice use of pithy and morass! “pithy” maketh me want to talk with a lithp.

a friend of mine used the word “accoutrements” a while ago and i’ve kind of stolen it from him. feel free to use it whenever appropriate!

I consider it an honor to be in your morass.

It’s sort of odd timing, this post about morasses and what you’re willing to put up with, because tonight I had dinner with one of my oldest friends. who essentially told me to quit bitching or he couldn’t love me anymore. He kind of threw me out on my morass! I’m so hurt — but then I thought, well, maybe now we’ll love each other not like friends but like family (present company excluded, of course!). You know, deep down you can’t stand each other but you pretend it isn’t true because you’re stuck with each other, and you want things to be okay on Christmas.

Honey, I’m sorry about the hurty crush. Should they not come up with a more dignified word for them once we pass 30? Or something that tips you off to how painful they really are now, like MAIM? I Have a Maim on You!

Okay. I have a book for you (and a copy of the same book for our redheaded friend) about Quan Yin I’ve been wanting to hand over for some time now, too.

You got a time you prefer? Just shoot me an email.

A big one. A big, awesome French one. And here’s how big a nerd *I* am. Last night while playing World of Warcraft? I had a 20 minute argument with a guy on Ventrilo over the badassery of Yoda. I say Yoda is the shit. He claims that Yoda *was* the shit, until episode 2 when he couldn’t even defeat Dooku. Cretin.

you know what i do when i feel my language skills fleeing from my growing southern accent? i watch starwars with the subtitles tuned to french… so every once in a while, when an alien speaks it’s own language, i get slapped with french subtitles instead of english and have to translate to figure out what the hell is going on.

also, greedo is really much better as a frenchman.

crap, how big of a nerd am i?

YES! Clearly french accents make the list. Oh how I love them so.

And OMG a real live frenchie read my post! That both intimidates and delights me! Every time I sit and think about how I am not using my french degree, I launch into a dangerous shame spiral, so I can’t dwell on it too much. But oh how I love and miss my language skills and my time spent in the motherland.

Good Lord and butter, almost TWO MONTHS of no posts.

Don’t let it happen again, missy!

You should add the French accent.
And cheeses.
