Section 37: 1820 words. And oneironaut is proud of gtstself for getting the subtext. So cute. ;) (I finished 36 yesterday but didn't post about it.)

Wound up distracted by shiny object and discussing names with iced_spice. Yay, shiny object. Shiny, shiny, shiny.

(Hm. I seem to be channeling bits of elynne's public persona. All I need is a clicky thing, and possibly Bast!.)

Hm. Music appropriate to other conversations, yes, yes.

Unrelated to your post, except that you mentioned one of the names, what are the correct pronunciations of lilairen, oneironaut, and teinedreugan, please?

I've been saying (mentally, anyway) lih-LAIR-en, oh-NAY-roh-naut, and tane-DREW-gan, but I strongly suspect I'm wrong.

I assume (though, thanks to English, I can't be certain) that by 'nay' you mean as in the opposite of 'yea' -- I'm actually pronounced 'oh-NYE-roh-naut', as in 'the Science Guy'. Oh, and the 'naut' is pronounced like 'naught', not 'kraut'. It's an, as far as I know, entirely modern coinage from the ancient Greek for 'dream traveller'.

I also answer to Squid, which, for some reason, people seem to have an easier time with....

[brooksmoses]

Drat; I can't seem to find a plausible way to mispronounce Squid....

[oneironaut.livejournal.com]

'Squeed'? Like 'screed' through a harelip filter. Two mispronounciations for the price of one!

"I will hug you and george you and call you Squeeed!"

I think you've got teinedreugan right, but I've never been particularly certain about Gaelic. (It's 'Fire Dragon'.) Might be 'DROI-gan'.

Mine I do lil-EYE-ren; lih-LAIR-en I consider close enough for government work. :}

Squid's already explained gtst handle, so.

I keep wanting to pronounce your handle "ill-ARE-ee-en," but that's entirely a product of my own peculiar version of dyslexia. ;)

This isn't my public persona - this is how I really am. Scary, isn't it? ;D

Well, I was thinking of the differential between the stuff you post public and the stuff you post private. I'm not channeling all of you, just the stuff that shows in the free-access posts. ;)

[elynne.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. Hm... there is a difference between the public-access and various levels of filtration me, isn't there? I hadn't noticed that, somehow. Heh.
