I have so much I want to do online - reply to people; craft a well-honed post; comment on a few posts; compliment Dannl on his excellent writing skillz as always, even if the politics of the gay scene leave me bewildered; put together a poll about the masquerade; start colouring that damn angel; check my email; read the latest offering from epicyclical...

But I have a splitting headache. It hurts to read more than a few words at a time. I am crippled!

Feh. Maybe it'll go down later tonight. (Unlikely, as I have nursing the damn thing all day)

Usage Note: Thanks to the vagaries of English spelling, bear has two past participles: born and borne. Traditionally, born is used only in passive constructions referring to birth: I was born in Chicago. For all other uses, including active constructions referring to birth, borne is the standard form: She has borne both her children at home. I have borne his insolence with the patience of a saint.

So, this would mean it would be "an ease borne of practise" not "an ease born of practise", right? Can some language freak back me up here?


[edit: this (born adj 1: brought into existence; "he was a child born of adultery" [ant: unborn] 2: being so through innate qualities; "a natural leader"; "a born musician"; "an innate talent") would suggest born without an e. I'm so confused.)

First bit of (HP) fanfic done for a while...

It is non-slash, and post-post-OOTP, if that makes any sense. There's only really one spoiler for said book, but it's an important one. But you've all read it by now, right?

On an unrelated note: Fuck. I was supposed to do washing tonight and didn't. I have less than 0 to wear to work tomorrow. Fuckity fuckity fuck fuck.
