tsaiko: Gif of a lemming falling off an edge (fireflies)
It's very hard to type when you're eyes are watering. Why are my eyes watering? Because I just cut up an entire onion to go in the dehydrator. Ugh. My eyes are swollen feeling. I can tell. It's awful.

Last night I decided to take some time off of writing, specifically the [livejournal.com profile] snail_mail_porn story. Only I somehow managed to do about three hours worth of research for another story instead. One of the things I was researching were version of the St. George and the Dragon story (I'm going to turn this yaoi and write this. I can already tell. My fate is sealed once I start getting ideas).

One of the version is a mid 16th century ballad that I found on Google books ♥. Now in the 16th century, spelling was not at its high point. I wasn't too surprised at the "dye" instead of "die" or "suckt" instead of "sucked." (My mind just went some place it really shouldn't have...) But I was not expecting the absolute best unconventional spelling I have come across in quite some time.

Asswage.

After I stopped laughing hysterically, I was finally able to figure out that the correct spelling was supposed to be "assuage." Even now I'm giggling. Asswage. That would be like the best damn name for a sword.

Finally, [livejournal.com profile] miome will be coming to Indianapolis for good either tomorrow or Monday. I am trying not to think too hard on this because I will start alternately doing to the happy dance and flailing in worry. So... not thinking. Writing instead.

My girlfriend, my kitties, and my bed. Soon I shall be reunited with each. Well, the bed will take longer since the moving company said it will be here between the 1st and the 8th of August. -_-

Small accomplishment!

The SMP story of DOOM is off to my beta. I swear that thing just keeps getting bigger. It topped 10,000 words tonight. That's 1/5 of a NaNoWriMo novel. And I am not done. ;_;

[livejournal.com profile] miome is coming up tomorrow. EEEEEE! I have been cleaning on and off all day long. Grocery shopping tomorrow morning. Then I'm dehydrating something else because I'm tired of the entire apartment smelling like onions. Ugh.

Now I'm going to crochet some. Then I'll put up the dried onions so I can crush them into a powder at some point.

Who am I?
