Hi Rachel! It is I, Emily J! I love your story! I finally got my email to work! see you at school tomorrow. bye!! ^_^

Rachel ´Saya´ Lamine replies: "lol Hey, Emily! Glad you got your email working so you could read my story. I still don't see how you got so hooked on it after reading only a page in my notebook. Well, I guess that's a good thing! Means my story is addicting! ~Saya~"

Yo lol. Sorry it took me so long, we've been moving and I've just been feeling like- blegh. I only just started writing again, so I dropped by my site and was like, RACHEL IS HERE!!! WOOHOO!!!

Rachel ´Saya´ Lamine replies: "Heh. I haven't talked to you or seen you in three years. Wow. it's beena while. Well, anyway, I'm glad you dropped by. Hope you enjoy my writing. I think I've improved slightly from 6th grade... >_<</font>"

[pokes the map and rubs slightly abused finger when it doesn't oblige] I think that thing's broken.

Your main page had me caught from the very fist (and laughing) ... I love when people come up with interesting bios, it's so refreshing from the usual norm of this is me, and comment on my stuff ^_^.

[wanders in circles a bit] yes, that is quite fun ... I shall have to try doing that in Russia next time and see if it is better. Hey, I wonder, if you tried wandering in circles in Australia, would you go the opposite way? [snickers at her strange self before taking a peek to see what all the fuss is about]

Cheerio! Hope to see you around ^_^ my shelf has a motley crew camping there, but I swear they're friendly, and don't bite very hard. And then of course, there's Inkwell Artisans, a writing group I founded. Come take a peek, we're always accepting new members.

Rachel ´Saya´ Lamine replies: "Hey, yeah, I tried to get a slightly ammusing bio going. It worked then, I take it?And, and yes, I have wandered around in Australia. I used to live there, if that counts for anything. Oh, and I'll be sure to take a look. Thanks!~Saya~"

I haven't been on your page for aaaaaaaaaages! o.O Ooh, and I see you have updates! ^_^ I shall be reading once history homework isn't bugging me anymore!

Thanks for dropping by and reading Cheese Runners first two chapters... there’s more on audiobook format if you’re interested. Drop by. The first chapter is a free download to listen to.

So, what’s your favorite piece? I want to read and comment...

Rachel ´Saya´ Lamine replies: "Heh, thanks for commenting. Much appreciated. I suppose my favorite pieces would have to be Covenant Waters and Consequence of Unbelief if you’re interested. =3"

hi rayray, i’m soo sad that i don’t get to see you at school anymore. I was planning on reading a bunch of the stories form this site, but my mean mom has now limited my computer time to 30 min. which is crazy because that is how long it takes for me to get caught up on my email. When I’m on the internet i will write to you but I have a limited time period.

SnowDay!!!! This is why I love living in a place where it is very cold. If we lived someplace warm we wouldn’t get these awsome days off. and my day is even better because today I was supposed to have three tests, and i wasn’t prepared for any of them. Now I have the rest of the weekend to prepare.

Rachel ´Saya´ Lamine replies: "I know, I so love it too! =3 I have one piece in the queue that I think you’ll like, so I’ll email you when it gets up which mght be 10 or more days. Oh, I’ve still got your mythology book, so I’ll bring it to school. We should meet somewhere before school, like at my locker so I can give it to you."

[random archaeologist wanders past] The horns on helmets was a general Bronze Age phenomenon which hung on longer in Scandinavia: the people depicted on rock art and in metal are indeed probably gods, or rather hero-figures closer to [picks cultures at random] Anansi or Herakles (no, I don’t like the Roman spelling, or most things to do with the Romans) than what we’d call gods. "Holy horns" turn up on grave stelae all over Europe too, but the only examples of horned helmets found have been ceremonial.

[grin] And there’s nothing wrong with fantasy in a Viking setting: lots of people write fantasy in a modern-Earth setting. Guy Gavriel Kay wrote about alternate-earth Saxons and lots of people write pseudoceltic fantasies...why not have a go at mixing your historical and fantastical fictions and see how it goes?

Rachel ´Saya´ Lamine replies: "=D Ooo, someone who knows more than I do about the Vikings! (not that that is rare or anything...) Thanks for the info. I’m very starved for knowledge. I think I know a lot but I don’t.
Yeah, I did write a little fantasy piece in Viking times, just haven’t posted it. Might later. I have been contemplating other stuff for a while too. Might get around to it.
Thanks for the info. =3
~Rachel~"

Aargh! Your last comment was swallowed up by an undefined! o.O Well anyway, I’ll be catching up on your updates now...

And you got a mod’s choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS! Going to read it now...
