;__; my saropyon wahhh.

edit: yay she posted some pictures yay.



T__T [livejournal.com profile] sarolynne went back to Paris. Woe.

-I still haven't managed to make her say ONE word of French, despite her being supposed to know some. Well, that's what she pretends! I have my doubts now. >.> On the upside, my spoken English isn't as horrible as I feared, though it's still not the best and I still don't understand anything that isn't said slow enough to match a sleepy old nun.

-LIONS LIONS WE SAW LIONS and a tiger and giraffes and a tiny gray fox with HUGE ears and kitties and MONKEYS and. Stuff. Yay for free zoos. u__u-b

-I knew Lyon had a lot of old churches, but I never really internalized how much until we were walking around the older area of town and I'd have a new one to point out every three blocks. "Oh, look, a tiny church! And this one is a cathedral, yay statues. Hey, let's go up to the basilica, isn't it nifty." Alas, Saropyon forgot her camera that day and I don't own one, so we don't have any pictures. Wahh wahh. ... hey at least this way she didn't take pictures of ME either.

-No greco-roman museum. The feet, they hurt. x_x

-€ 45 AND UP FOR A STUPID SCARF. WHAT NO. D: Hnnn.

-My blisters have exploded on me. Ew and ow.

-We are the dorkiest dorks that ever dorked around. Ever. Guess who spent two evenings on my brother's computer in the next room so we could roleplay vampires via AIM. #>.># It would have been all three evenings, but my wireless and her laptop developed a severe and very frustrating allergy to each other for some unexplained reason.

-Saro made me read Jhereg by Steven Brust. If any of you have any e-books in this series (dragarean something?), I shall take them gleefuly. I couldn't find any at my library. ;__;

-Also, now I can't get this song out of my head, and it's all your fault, Saro. >:(

Mmmm, NSFW.





In other words, it was teh awesome. *^___^*

PS: she really IS that tall. Also, bony. D: ♥♥♥

eeew blisters. hope your feet feel better!

I would watch that youtube video but the wireless at this hostel is even worse than the connection at my college was. XD; I didn't know it was possible!

You did take pictures, yes? So we can look at the two of you be all dorky around Lyon? :D

Sorry to hear about your blisters. Breathe through the pain~ fu-fu-fuuu~ fu-fu-fuuu~ just like in lamaze class. :D

And it's really embarrassing to try and speak a language when you don't know it well.

Ryan Reynolds is really hot when he's insane. I'm all incoherent. :D

I'm so happy for you~ glad you had a great time. *smooches*

Your written English is better than most people's though!

I'm glad that the two of you had fun. I'm sorry about your feet. My feet know how yours feel since yesterday I went to Comicon 09 at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York to see T.M REVOLUTION IN CONCERT! We had to stand in lines for hours and for almost every event. But the concert was great! I hope you and Sailor Comet have an awesome time.

P.S.: I hope you show us some pictures of your fun...u.u

Comicon 08 I meant. Don't knowwhere the 09 came from...-_-

Here's a torrent with Jhereg and all of its sequels so far (http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/39906941/steven+brust?tab=summary). There's also another set of books in the same world, the Khaavren Romances, but they might be harder to find online.

*is hoping this leads to Dragaera fanfic from you*

You know I know some French! Presumably. Unless that was some other language I was flailing through when I try to write it? I'm not as incoherent as babelfish, am I? I just die of freaking nerves every time I try to speak. I fail like a failing fail-thing.

And it's my own fault I'm not that understandable--I speak too fast, and tend to be kind of slangy, or omit sounds when I get going. I think it's pretty neutral--like it's pretty common, at least--but that doesn't make it any clearer when you're not a native speaker. Alas!

In any event, it was awesome. u.u

ETA: I found PiM's Poire~ *rolls in happy*

It seems they do carry them at the supermarket next door, they just hide them from me cruelly by putting them on a different shelf.
