Interceding on behalf of New Zealand

[yakalskovich]

This is my answer to that post of schiarire's. Sorry, no crayons. I do everything with my fountain pen.

So, in the name of my notional Maori ancestors*, the Lady Iris who lived and worked at a Backpackers' station where there were penguins, and the beautiful locations of the LOTR movies, I voice the following doubt to the idea of simply exchanging the location of Texas and Australia:





Lager version here.

*notional Maori ancestors: my great-grandmother's maiden name was Kawerau. That is a famously beautiful gorge in New Zealand where people go rafting and bungee-jumping - at least they do nowadays. No actual connection between my great-grandmother and that gorge has ever been established, however...

Texas looks like a Turnip ^^

I am yet to do my Australian crayon picture. Busy busy busy.

[yakalskovich]

It's a rather large turnip populated by a cow, an oil rig, a gun and a bible - I hope that's marginally acceptable as Texas.

*evil grin*

I had some waiting around to do this morning while a data base was busy reorganising itself on my computer; instead of staring nervously at the screen, I rather drew Texas and New Zealand. And while my Ponder-ish colleague wanted to ask me some sundry questions (recently, he seems to believe I'm his general Oracle of Delphi, judging from the things he keeps asking me), I put the picture on the scanner right away.

Poor Texas. So discriminated against. I like the canoes.

It's cool how this kind of thing means you get to see people's handwriting. (Your Z! I bet you cross your sevens, too. :D)

[yakalskovich]

Course I cross my sevens. Everybody does here.

Very sensible. Makes them not look like ones.

[yakalskovich]

Exactly. That's the point. You understand - what a relief!

You should have seen my lower case "z"s, they're long. Third uncial letter I have been using ever since that palaeography course at the university...

Oh, I get it, but it gives me the giggles. Few things don't, though.

[yakalskovich]

Oh, good. More giggles for Ji are very much needed, what with APs and whatnot. Are yet more pains lying in wait for you in the immediate future that you need giggles against?

Er, I haven't done any of the work all unit in trig, and the first test (of two) is tomorrow, so I have a few months' worth of work to complete tonight. It's pretty happiness preventing.

[yakalskovich]

Trig? Trigonometry?? Maths???

Ugh!!!!!

I wouldn't call that happiness preventing. I'd call that massively unhappiness inducing. Makes me want to whimper with sympathy.

And I have no idea about it. And the Nazgul is rather tugelbendish in her ways. We won't be able to appeal to her for any help or explanation (as she did for Ashie) until long after your midnight, which would be a bad idea per se...

Oh, nonono, I can get it, I just have to wade through assignments, which bores me.

[yakalskovich]

Uargh. Massive pain. Such an isult to the brain - cram it in, then throw it out again.

Sorry. Silly.
