Re: Askani music, take 2

Morning, Moira's most cuddly one,

Head still hurts, though not as bad as yesterday. Not sure I want to know what was in that stuff we got shot up with. Ick much.

Seems to me like something to keep people busy is a good idea and what better cure for the soul than music?

Up to schedule stuff for the Great Askani Music Download?

PS - How did a seven year old get to be so watchful? He's still eyeing me now as I type this ready to order me back to sleep if I look tired. O_o

Morning, O bestower of appalling nicknames.

Still have a headache myself, but I'm not sure what to blame it on. But yeah, the whole poison glove thing was no fun...

I was thinking of starting that Askani language group I was talking about this week, too, as a distraction. We should coordinate. And I am officially back on my feet - or on one foot and a crutch, technically - today, so let's do it. Very sick of this lying-around crap.

PS: I'm almost glad Moira crashed so hard, or she would have been fussing at me, too.

Oh, you know you like them! ;)

Really no fun. Much with the not fun. ...there was other non-fun too. Anyway. I'm going to post that Samson will be in a bit longer during the next few days for the kids. Called him up earlier 'n all. More appointments for him to schedule... :p

Oh goodie! I'm in. ... would it be cheating for me to ask if you can telepathically help me to learn it faster? I know Charles can do that, sometimes, for special stuff. *shifty look*

We can meet say, on the front porch and talk there. Being outside is good. Get some fresh air, enjoy the sunlight, that sort of thing.

PS - I've been ordered to be where ha can be keep an eye on me. It's fun, in a mind boggling sort of way. He's gotten very bossy all of a sudden.

No, I really don't. :)

I'm doing a bit of a wander myself, today, randomly hitting up kids who look like they need to talk. I do have some personal experience when it comes to having blood on your hands at too young an age.

I don't have any problems with helping you do that, I'm just not sure I can. I'll ask them, see if they have any suggestions.

And the front porch is good. See you later.

Duly noted. :)

Good. Some won't want to talk to Samson and some don't know well enough to realize that not needing to talk isn't- I won't rant, stopping now. If they don't object to it (important that) mind letting me know who you do talk to? For my personal peace of mind, really, just names if it's okay.

(*sighs* Can I talk to you, while we're on that? I'm trying to ignore stuff that's been going on and maybe I shouldn't either. I don't know. Eh.)

Fair's fair. I'll take whatever answer both you and they come up with - I suspect work to earn it might be part of the Askani philosophy, though. *g*

Got cookie bribage to get on with, and I'll be down soon!

You're too kind. :) Yeah, I know about the not-talking thing. Moira is on my case to go have a little chat with Charles about my May-from-Hell. She apparently doesn't think I've processed it all. Stubborn woman. As for the kids, I'll see how it goes and who I talk to. Telling you I've had conversations with so-and-so isn't really giving anything away, and I'm more likely to point them at Samson anyway.

(And sure. Anytime, Alison - I mean that.)

I spoke to Askani - singular, feminine, fond of firebirds and occasionally appearing to people and scaring the crap out of them - and she claims that she can borrow my telepathy to speed-teach you. Apparently she thinks it would be better for there to be two teachers in this Askani language group. Of course, this means that you have to meet her, and I'd understand if you didn't... oww. Now she's hissing at me.

Sometimes. I'm also evil, I'm told. ;) I would not argue with Moira. She can out-stubborn near anyone that I can think of, really. And thanks for letting me know 'bout the kids ~ it'll still make me feel better.

(Good. If I don't take you up on it soon, feel free to nag me. Please.)

I'm going to have a migraine again, aren't I? I'm up for it, anyway. Learning it faster means processing culture faster which all relates to the music being understoof on that basic gut level too. And I'd like to meet her once at the very least. I admit I'm curious, from what I've read about them and her in your posts. (Whups. I should warn Betsy though. Don't want her surprised and going all "grr" and stuff. Two 'paths fighting it out in my head is not something I want to contemplate!)
