life, the universe, and everything part infinity and beyond

1.  I have a full-time paying job starting Monday. That will probably affect my writing.

2. Have you ever actually looked at a stitch?  The mean black thread, how it goes through your skin and back out again?  It's disgusting.  And really weird to watch the doctor do.  At least I couldn't feel anything.  A few years ago, when my finger had to be stitched up, I could hear it, though.  Creepy as all get-out.

3.  I'm working on a prequel to that Cinderella ficlet I posted a couple weeks ago.  I have so many ideas for that whole 'verse.  Worldbuilding is fun.

4. Tom Hiddleston is adorable with golden curls.

5. I'm only on disc two of Supernatural season 6, and all the episodes so far are ones I watched live.  Nothing new.

6. Hypothetically, if someone wrote a poem based on The Little Matchgirl, would you read it?  It'd be very depressing.  Hypothetically.

7. I don't know if it's an American thing or what, but I find nobility titles very confusing.  Should I just make up my own for the Cinderella 'verse?


PS.  Please explain to me why it was almost freezing (literally, a few degrees above) in October.  That is so not awesome.

7: YES MAKE THEM UP :D :D :D

1. *a selfish NOOOOOO sound* XD

2. I haven't watched, but the 'tugging' feeling is kind of odd (I've had some moles and such out). A sort of cousin to the wisdom teeth pulling experience. :P :)

4. Yes *just bought 'Thor'*

5. I make notes on what I've watched (or not watched = have missed)

6. Yes.

PS: totally possible that that could happen up here, though we've had a pretty warmish month so far (not going below +5C even at night). *offers tea*

7. They are confusing, especially since there are any number of ways of how they work depending on the culture you're dealing with, and sometimes even the time period.

I might be able to dig you up some resources if you'd like, or provide a rough idea of relative ranks for 15th century English titles (that being where I've actually been doing research on stuff for my own stories).

English titles are easy with the mnemonic Do Men Ever Visit Boston?
Under King/Queen and Prince/Princess are
Duke/Duchess
Marquis/Marchioness
Earl/Countess
Viscount/Viscountess
Baron/Baroness

Emperor/Empress are above everyone and Knight/Dame are under everyone.

*hee* I might just take the ones I like and come up with my own rules for them.

1. Yup. But if they don't ask me to stay on, I might be done by December.

2. It's exceedingly odd, really.

4. Did you like it?

[tigriswolf]

Yes, please!

[tigriswolf]

Is a lady the same as a dame, and knight the same as lord?

4. Haven't watched it yet - I'm house-sitting and I'm more comfortable watching my DVDs at home. But looking forward to it :)

[tigriswolf]

It's actually a pretty enjoyable movie. And Loki's awesome.

Dames and knight are not inheritable titles. You address them and Dame Judith and Sir Ian. Lords and Ladies are how you address the titles below Duke/Duchess, those you would call Your Grace.

Thank you!
