Blueberry syrup, barbecued chicken hearts, haggis, nicknames
Okay, so no one is really keeping tabs on these.. but here they are anyhow! ;) No, I'm not using the ones from the wedding and banquet yesterday.. they were good, but not blog material.
HILARIOUS QUOTES OF THE WEEK (2)
"I want Spoz on the UB.. he needs some blueberry syrup!" -- lel, discussing her shtick for the UnaBoard "newbie welcome thread".. and mentioning how great it would be to have Spoz there. (Wednesday, May 14) [for the record, he said no.. coz he posts on some other forums already, and adding another message board would seriously cut into his actual life]
"I find it interesting that you'll have barbecued chicken hearts, but you won't have haggis.." -- Jon to Steph, while we were eating a late meal at Richmond Sushi. (Wednesday, May 14) [they tasted all right, I suppose.. ]
NICKNAMES AND SUCH
It's been a good day so far.. not having to go to any meetings is definitely a plus. ;) Definitely nice outside now, but where was it this morning? Oh well.. not much you can do about the weather.. at least it's warming up!
On the way home, we were discussing nicknames.. Danielle found it hilarious that the family calls Grandma "Big G." Grandma may not understand much English, but she DOES understand "grandma". Whenever we use it, she thinks we're talking about her.. even when we're not. Most times we are, though. ;) (she'll say: "Grandma what?" in English) So Mum made up "Big G" one day to save us from the endless circumlocutions of "your mother," "the woman who gave birth to you," "your mother-in-law," "the woman seated beside you," etc.
Then Steph called me "Sarne".. Danielle wanted to know what it meant. Let's just say it evolved from a series of other names (and leave it at that).. somehow, this one stuck. Jessica and Rachel call me that exclusively, as do my sibs. (they say it sounds strange calling me by my actual name) When we mentioned Jon's nickname of "Flime" (dunno what that one means, really), and that the interchangeable family nicknames include "fart" and "chub".. Danielle thought we were all crazy. That part is actually true.. though we're not psychologically crazy. (at least, not most of the time) It's just a general sort of insanity.. my friends will definitely know what I'm talking about, here! ;)
We also call Jon "ug" or "ugfart," haha. Good times. Mom is "Molly" or "Molixed," and Dad is "Blaard" or "Blaardine."
