*Giggles helplessly.* Ela did read that!

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!! *glomps Ela* On the bright side, Dinos are apparently really nice.

I have a small but growing library of quotes (of my own lexicological definitions) that I started recently...

Would you care to share it with us?

Oh, right, I was going to reply to Emeth's comment, but I got caught up trying to find the definition of "lexicological" I'm guessing it has something to do with the study of words?

*cough* Anyways, ditto to Milly! Care to share?

"This is HW. We expect wildness. " -Jonathan Garner

Okay, here is what I have so far. These are often talking about only one shade of meaning for a word, though, so keep that in mind.

"Lexicology is the study of communication and proper meanings and uses in language."

"Legalism is the extrapolation of rules/laws (the letter of the law) beyond their intended scope (the spirit of the law) in a prideful attempt to put yourself above others.”

"Joy is happiness with an eternal perspective."

"Discipline is a measure of the kind of maturity in which we make choices about our immediate actions based upon long range motivations."

"Faith is the power of hope in the now."

"Carefulness means to be anxious to avoid mistakes, and to be solicitous and eager to succeed in something, circumspectly taking in counsel and discerning the best course to take with due diligence."

"Freedom is the ability and permission to do something without hindrance."

"Liberty is the freedom to do what is right."

I like this one.

I like how you worded that one!

I like this one!

Love. this. thread. I'm in too much of a daze to say much else...

That doesn't surprise me at all.

The second I hit "submit" I thought, "I bet Jonathan will comment on this." You didn't fail me.

"Dying is a crime punishable by death. " - Evening L. Aspen

Bahahaha!

I don't remember this conversation exactly, but I was telling Bethany about the 4 characters who die in one of my books, and another 2 who might die. Her reaction was along the lines of, "Wow. Shawn, I really want to read your book now."

*giggles* *searches memory* Direct quotage:

" Wow, Shawn! I don't want to read your book anymore... I need to read it."

*giggles* What? Books are more interesting when unexpected characters die. It creates character conflict between the already alive characters and it's sad.

I would only laugh when it involves other people's characters. Killing mine is like pulling teeth.

Me: "You were supposed to be here not there! Have you been holding your map upside down again?"
Character: You can't fool me. I know what's waiting for me there! Why else would you be researching arrow heads and the effectiveness of my armor? And don't you try to deny it. Firefox told Microsoft Word who told me. They don't lie.

*laughs*

Oh...Firefox is a tattle tale.

"Dude, where art thou?" -Inesdar

*laughing out loud!* I saw that one on Buzz, it totally cracked me up!

"Me? Weird? Perish the thought." -Inesdar

"Ew, don't eat smurfs they're too... squishy." -White Raven

You should finish reading my book then.

Hah! That one is hilarious!

I was there when that quote was said. I need to think of quotes...

Nice one, Elly.

Haha, I like that one too, Elly!

Completely true, Elly.

A very ironic Shark Bait quote:

In context: she was saying that Dieki is less active when he is working on making the forums more awesome.

Airianna has mysterious wagging eyebrows apparently.

*wonders where the waggling of eyebrows came from anyways*

*waggles eyebrows * Compliments of Jonathan, in reference to my rewrites.

*nods* It's not an exact quote, but it's close.

So if I give you a quarter you'll say something profound? Sweet!

That's so deep.
