note to Kendal
i must apologise Kendal, that i horned into what is turning out to be a fantastic story but Illadria kept hounding me to write a response to you.. i don't know why she didn't herself 'cepting she is ascared of you methinks?
i regret it only because it temporarily messed up the flow of where you were going but i did have fun with it...
soooo i promise to zip it and sit back (with one of my bottles of cheap libations as it seems?) to enjoy more of your mayhem and merriment for the gang, ok?
thanks for sharing this with us.... i am sooooo enjoying it

Tom? doesn't he already have a date for the dance?do you really think he likes me?i mean really, really, REALLY likes me? will you give him this note i wrote in class to him? but don't tell him where you got it, ok? promise? PROMISE!!!!!!
Hmmm... well Majah, if this is your idea of "horning-in" it is remarkably unobtrusive, highly entertaining, advances the general plot line very nicely, and allows other writers innumerable points with which to articulate their own offerings -- no perceptible interruption of any flow is found. Your style of writing is likewise very engaging, and the events you retail are obviously drawn from real life situations (has Illadria really given up the toe-shoes?!) scrupulously reproduced here to the didactic benefit of the entire community.
This particular line is an "open" format and not meant to be carried by one person although my general eruptive, three-part offerings do have an unfortunate tendency to smother the landscape... Having more "free-time" at my disposal than is proper, my pieces tend to be designed toward the prolix just to fill the hour long voids between the remunerative and remedial efforts (job stuff; and then cleaning the house and raking up the yard) of a normal life...
So, please, zip nothing save your jacket against the mounting colds of this year's Fall, and I'll try to leave you a fair share of the typing paper!
Kendal
ok then....we are in this adventure together!!!(and Illadria this means you too!)
Kendal....you mean you don't just pop in here and toss those jewels off the top of your head?
Wow! food for thought here!
do you mean to say that if i actually planned what i was going to say, it would come out in such an excellent form? that i too could write with the elegance and intelligence that you do? hmmmmmmm let me think on that for a minute....NAW!!!!!!
thanks for the encouragement and thanks too for your wonderful way with words that we enjoy in all your posts!
Maj
Oh no, Majah! Actually "planning" what you wish to say will NEVER endow your writings with either elegance or intelligence, believe me, I've tried that path many times, with singularly poor results -- "oranger - porringer" styled rhymes seem to be the limits attainable by acts of deliberate, concentrated thought.
To achieve even the outward "appearance" of verbal intelligence and elegance, I find it necessary to place my head in direct contact with a harder substance (finding such a substance is the "inteligence building" part of this exercize). Then, repeated bangings of the noggin against said adamatine suface will, sooner or later, stimulate a steady flowing release of the most astonishingly innovative, fecund, scintillating and elegant language forms... Honest, try it!
And Thank YOU for your kind encouragements!
Hmmm, running out of words -- guess it's time for another go at the anvil.
You have a great day!
Kendal
ah...you'll excuse me now as I'm off to the hospital...cerebral hemorage...Ouch!!!
Illadria
ahhhhh i understand now....no anvil needed for me to understand this concept!!!
actually i have a similar method...i press my head into a pillow a couple of times and next thing i know...INSPIRATION! (it is morning)
try it...you won't have to work as hard as your method...but of course then you would write like me and that would be a darn crime!
have a nice day

Majah,
Your segment in The Perils of Poetry was highly entertaining. Thank you for enlightening Illadria that you don't dance ballet at a sock hop!
I also prefer your pillow method to Kendal's adamatine - I have already cracked my skull once and I cannot afford to lose any more grey matter.
Best regards,
Sparrow
