well, i think i've just been crowned queen, so i will dub thee so. and as queen, my first act is to declare that i am on vacation as well, the majority of the time, and most particularly whenever i feel like it, including at a moment's notice.

oh, and there WILL be sun. We are not amused by the rain in june.

Oyez, oyez, oyez! Where's PlanetHead, badgoodfairtomiddlinDeb, Geoffthecatinthebowl, NatChtheguyinneedofmanyspleens? It's Friday, for gosh sakes alive!

Can We be Fairy Princess?
Where We grew up we had a Grassic Gibbon centre, but We don't think anyone was ever ordained there. Or indeed, by Grassic Gibbon at all.
BTW, he wrote some good books if you fancy reading some Scottish literature.

well, PlanetHead is (sadly) once again lost in the interdimensional chaos known as The Airport. please join me in crossing all available appendages for his speedy return to the bosom of this forum, where he belongs.

and at last news, NatCh had been underhandedly ambushed by people claiming to be his "employers" and forcing him against his will to engage in "work". I'm trying to think of a Cunning Plan to rescue him and bring him back to our midst as well (suggestions welcome).

i'm not sure about the rest of them.

aren't you already ? you have the costume, after all, and don't they always say, "the clothes make the Fairy Princess" ? (or something like that...)

Grassic Gibbon Centre... shhh, Marc has big plans for that place, don't let the gibbon out of the bag.

Possibly something involving long-sleeved pyjamas, 3 cardboard boxes, 2 rolls of sticky-back plastic and a large black van with darkened windows and a red stripe?

nekokami · 06-20-2008, 12:07 PM

And chocolate.

See Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time for a good example of the strategic use of chocolate in metaphysical conflicts.

those are clearly the elements of the Best Plan Ever. see, this is how you get to be queen : you just surround yourself with the best advisors / ministers / fairy princesses / gibbons / etc.

O Geraniums

(I hate geraniums, and I've got all the appropriate "sacrificial knives" in my garage to perform the ceremony).

Cheers,

Thank you for that beautiful photo from the ordination ceremony, Marc. It was all so touching. Wait, let me get a tissue.
