If there's anything that you'd like me to cast my eyes over for infelicities, I'd be happy to help.

From:

Do you speak impeccable French, dahlink? How familiar are you with technical terms of political economy and free trade agreements in French?

It's deadly dull, but once I get a little bit more stuff done, and you want to, I probably wouldn't mind an outside opinion.

This person's first language is Spanish, but they've written the text in English, and I have to put it in French. :P

From:

Oh poo, my French is abysmal. In English I could do it, but... *sigh* see, I thought you were translating into English, not from.

The spirit is willing, but the Francophony is weak :(

From:

Nope, sorry. :)

I think I'd be less panicky about it if I were translating into English anyway. French is so bloody tricky on some levels. :P

The thought is appreciated, anyway. :)

Mailing address, please, and a name to make the cheque out to.

From:

*smooch*

Not necessary. :)

I will prevail, somehow. If I don't get any new work by mid-November I'll look for a "real" job to help make ends meet.

But thank you.

I feel ya babe.

*hugs*

That stuff sucks so massively! Trust me, I know!

From:

*hugs*

I know. If I lived nearer where you are I would suggest commiserating over the chicken I'm having for dinner. Sadly, you live across the continent. Suck.

I just wish I knew how to kick life back when it kicks me first, y'know?

Ah well. One day I'll be rich and famous. :P

From:

Poor and notorious is easier - if I can do it, anyone can :D

From:

Can I be rich and notorious instead?

From:

If you can get the money together, sure.

Fancy painting the town pink sometime?

From:

How about purple instead? I don't fancy having my life ended prematurely by

How about purple instead? I don't fancy having my life ended prematurely by <ljuser="firewillow">, who'd come after us with a flamethrower if we did anything involving the colour pink. ^_-

I'd fancy painting the town purple. Or even fuschia, if I was in the right mood. Or possibly magenta...

From:

Fuchsia would be a good colour.

So what, exactly, is so bad about The Colour Pink?

From:

Dunno.

firewillow just doesn't seem to like it. I disliked it for a long time because of its association with the unnatural horror otherwise known as Barbie, but have since become reconciled to almost all forms of pink except pastel pink and hot pink.

I think her parents tried to dress her exclusively in pink for a while. :)

From:

Heh. Barbies can be turned into sex toys, y'know :)

But you're right. Thinking about it, the idea of Fire all in girlie sugar-pinks is so really really wrong and disturbing.

The only pink clothing I have is from when I've washed a non-colourfast red at too high a temperature and ended up with pastel-pink boxers... I'm a blues, greys, browns and greens guy really.

From:

I hear ya. My winter wardrobe can be summed up thus: navy, brown, grey, black. In summer I add white when I'm feeling brave and the occasional yellow.

Pink is fine as long as it's not on me. Strawberry ice cream is thus perfectly acceptable. ^_-

Pink is wrong wrong wrong. And yes, they did. With frills and lace and pretty bows and all that.

There's a reason I took up rolling in the mud with the damn dresses. Jeans it was after that. ;)

From:

You're a rebel, you are. :)

Be thankful they didn't think of pink jeans. ;)

... oh god. That's evil.

Muahahahahaaaaaa!

Kewl. I finally found something that Fire ph34rs! Go me! ;)

Sheesh... sounds like your parents did what my grandparents did to me.

Well, it was my grandmother, anyway...

Pink. Everything had to be PINK...

So... now... if it's pink, I typically don't wear it. Unless it's, like, one of those hair turbans, or a towel, but then one doesn't wear a towel for long, or a hair turban out in public. ;)

I always prefer *fuckety-fuck-fuck*, because then you can make it into a song because it fits into the chorus of Frosty the Snowman.

See?

*Fuckety-fuck-fuck, fuckety-fuck-fuck,
Look at mousme go.
Fuckety-fuck-fuck, fuckety-fuck-fuck,
translation she does know!*

Now doesn't that make you feel better?
Nah. Me neither.

Dammit! I'll get it right one of these times...

From:

Hee! Looks like you got it this time around! :)

From:

Yeah. I finally figured out that I hit the '-' instead of the '='...

From:

Sorry. I also have a question about your previous post. What if your affairs are already in arder and that's part of the problem?

From:

Sweetie, I don't even have an answer to my own questions.

I wish I could help more.

*hugs*

Take care, 'kay?

You have "affairs" to put in order?! Really? how do you rank them? By how well they kiss? Or what? ;)

And do all your affairs know about your other people? ;)

C.

From:

You have no idea. :P

They're out of control! They're even running around having affairs with each other and making little baby affairs in an incestuous merry-go-round of affairs.

That's why I have to put them in order. ;)
