Bonjourno Monsieurs, Mademoiselles and Madames,

Cava? (I will be very impressed if any of you can decode this- it’s French! Comment & answer in French if you figure it out!)

So my fantastical chikadee’s, I would like to thankyou all so much for your beautiful comments and I am sooooo so grateful to everyone who reads these posts.

Ambivalence, Defenestrate – awesome word choice!!! I love it and it has done a fantastic job of driving people nuts while I try to use it in as many sentences as possible, thankyou!! Also on the note of things of massive annoyingness, you are right that the movies of books are fun to watch, but I find it also extremely annoying at the lack of detail from the books. I guess though, if it had all the details, it would be a massively long movie! (though I would also argue – what would be wrong with that!?)  I would also like to wish you the very best of luck for your exams coming up, and I am sure that you will do fantastically :)

Good books, bad books, books in between… I agree with you Jordi, The Lord of the Rings is pretty fantastic, though here is where I confess I only know this as a result of the movies… BUT! Going on my list of to reads though!

Oh boy! I almost forgot to mention!!!! I am reading the most fantastic book ever!! (Well not the most fantastic, but pretty close!!) it is called Triple Ripple, and if you are a reader whom enjoys slightly funny fairytales, then this is for you! It is a story with three different points of view, The Author, The Reader and then the Narrator. That probably makes NO sense to you, but you will see what I mean when you pick it up. I don’t want to tell you TOO much about it, but I will tell you that there is a bossy queen, a peculiar author and a pretty average teenage girl involved. It involves crushed velvet, kissing at the skate park and many teapots. That is all I will reveal!!!

All the best to all the readers of the world, and have a lovely day at school, work or whatever your day consists of!

Remember, YOU ARE A FANTASTIC PERSON!!!

GAHHH. Jordi bet me to it! I would have liked to exercise my French skills. I study it at school, though I must add that I'm better at writing it than speaking it. My favourite line so far is: Je suis une orange. I know. The skill. Don't get too excited, you don't want to fall off your seat! ;) That being said, thank you for that shout out, I'm glad you are making use of that word. It's a very powerful word that should be used wisely in the art of annoying - meaning, multiple times. It's wonderful that you're taking advantage of it - I feel like I have finally contributed to the world :D Thank you for your well wishes on my exams too. & teapots! Wow. Sounds fascinating. Actually, this strange concept of The Reader, The Author and The Narrator is more fascinating, but don't tell the teapot I said that.... o.O My favourite funny fairytale so far is Ella Enchanted though ♥ (As for superdy long movies, I believe people cannot sit still for that long? Apparently, though I find this hard to believe, for all the hours people can spend in front of a TV.... I myself have sat through some very lengthy Bollywood movies, so I'm okay :) )

Cava tre bien, merci! That's about the only French I know though. Definitely worth giving The Lord of the Rings a try sometime, but it isn't to everyone's flavour. If you prefer your fantasy a bit shorter and with more focus on adventure (than on traipsing through the wilderness), then try The Hobbit first (and before the movie comes out in December!)
