you're welcome! :D

so what have you been up to lately, friend?

i've been up to no good, as usual! XD

actually, i've gotten started on my HollyDays crochet, so that i can do NaNo in november! =D

I don't know what a hollydays crochet is! D:

I know what NaNoWriMo is though! Good luck with that!

well, i call the holidays (Chanukah, Xmas, and Yule) the 'HollyDays' - we celebrate all of 'em (ChanaYuleMas, as i call it). i also make crocheted stuffed toys for my cousins' kids for chanukah; and for friends and family for the holidays. you can see a lot of them on my Ravelry project pages.

so this year i've started early... so that i can do NaNo again. i didn't last year because i wasn't sure if i'd have most of my crochet done... and i didn't have a plot. this year, i do!

oh, nice! Sounds awesome. :D

thanks! both the crochet and the NaNo are lot of fun.

I tried NaNo once but...it's just too hard!

"Straya" is a somewhat silly way to reference Australia. :P

ohhh, okay. Never heard that one.

would you like some tea, Tohopek? Also, can I ask a favor of my favorite administrator?

i tend to over-describe stuff and get very long-winded with narratives, and my characters tend to babble lots... and sometimes the story writes itself when i have a good plot. i tend to write off the top of my head, or by the seat of my pants.... i'm a 'pantser' - i pretty much don't plan things out very far ahead. it's like i'm building a bridge as i'm walking across it. it's fun, actually. XD

I would love some tea! What sort of favor do you need?

sounds interesting. o.o

what kind of tea would you like, friend?

I've changed the spelling of my name and I'm wondering if you could remove one of the two "n"s in my username. Either one will do, although I'm partial to the second one.

Hmm... Chai today, I think.

Technically, you're supposed to post in the name change thread....but alright. I've packaged up your spare N for you. :)

I knooow, but why bother with that when I'm such good friends with the admin? :D

thanks buddy, here's your chai!

Indeed. :P I do like the occasional chai tea.

how have you been lately, Tohopek?
