Jib is a great Brother.

He even gave me a new nickname.

Lady Brat-child.

You can now return to your regularly scheduled evening. Day. Whatever.

You'd think by now I'd learn to avoid the traps when talking to Jibra'il. I've been friends with him for almost six years. Apparently, I can't.

Example.

This morning he called me a Pictsie. And threatened to dunk me in woad.

Went through my day.

Showed him a set of fairy wings I want. Like, I have major grabby hands for. MAJOR grabby hands. (if you want to get together and get a pair for me, clear with copper veins. :P I would seriously love you, my flist, forever.)

This is what I got from him.

me: So.
me: I have a major case of grabby hands.
me: http://fancyfairy.com/titaniawings.html
him: *slaps hands* No.
me: But!
me: Christmas.
me: And I wants 'em.
him: *slaps hands* No.
me: :(
me: I'll pout.
him: *slaps hands*
him: No.
me: YES!
him: -.- that is
me: I promise I won't wear them with garb.
him:: OK.
him: Only for the RenFaire.
him: And around the house.
me: Not even then.
me: House, maybe.
him: *LOL*
me: Shoots with Ruaidhri, yes.
him: *LOL*
me: But not with garb.
him: Wait...this goes with the whole Pictsie comment from this morning.
him: *dips in woad*
me: Dammit.
me: -.-
him: <=== was right!
him: HA!
me: You're mean.
him: *evils*
me: I am -so- blogging this.
him: And I love how you soooo set yourself up for this too.
me: Hush.
him: *pokes*
me: -.-
me: Grr.
him: You'd think after how many years of talking to me you'd have figured out how to avoid the traps... ;)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Silly brother.

I need to learn much better. Or not forget so easily.

And now, I'm being assigned detention for mouthing off to my Brother. You know, maybe I should just go with a Chinese persona and change my name to Hung Fat, or Loud Woman.

Let this be a lesson to me.

zephyrofgod: Question: How many kingdoms do we have represented in the Household now?
purplellamaboi: I'm gonna have to bring along all my Persian research materials with me and corrupt you more.
purplellamaboi: Three.
zephyrofgod: *face-palm*
purplellamaboi: Middle, Atlantia, and Calotir.
zephyrofgod: I just have to get there first.
purplellamaboi: Though we've got a former Caidian and a former Outlander.
zephyrofgod: Goodness.
purplellamaboi: And one who is considering a move TO the Outlands due to work.
zephyrofgod: Who?!
purplellamaboi: The former Caidian. *LOL*
zephyrofgod: Who is...?
purplellamaboi: For you to find out.
zephyrofgod: Bah.
zephyrofgod: Meaniehead.
purplellamaboi: Homework assignment: meet your family and talk to them .;)
zephyrofgod: BAH.
zephyrofgod: :P
purplellamaboi: *gives detention*
zephyrofgod: *whimpers*
purplellamaboi: For that...you get to...hrm...
purplellamaboi: *contemplates detention ideas*
zephyrofgod: I DON'T LIKE STINKY BUM-BUMS!
purplellamaboi: o.O
zephyrofgod: *runs away while you're distracted*
purplellamaboi: And I was thinking of just making you do someone's laundry or clean-up camp or cook a meal in camp...
purplellamaboi: ...but for that...*writes a letter to Their Majesties*
zephyrofgod: No OAFing, please?
purplellamaboi: No...that would mean people jumping on you.
zephyrofgod: And I'm small and squishy.
purplellamaboi: That's dangerous for those of you that need to wear a safety helmet just to walk!

I'm definitely geeking now.

Jib assigned me more homework. Look up the Game of Goose. So I did. Not initially familiar with it, I've realised I've played it before. Goose is essentially Mario Party. The original.

So, I think I may have another project up my sleeves. Making a folding, portable Goose game board. Paint it ups, and then, maybe submit it for an A&S competition.

Thoughts? Ideas? Am I totally insane for coming up with this?

So, Jib blamed me for the last bit of homework for the Household. Here's what he wrote:

"You all can blame your Sister, Constantia, for this assignment. Many people know that gift giving for Kings & Queens, Princes & Princesses, and sometimes Barons & Baronesses is often made easy by sharing Their likes and dislikes, Their wishes and whims.

"Well, your assignment is to pretend you're in a role where people may be serving you food, or presenting you with a personal gift, or making largesse for you to distribute, or where you get to set the tone of an event.

"What are your likes and dislikes? What is your persona and what are your heraldic colors? What garb styles do you like or dislike? What kinds of things do you like as tokens? What things do you want to see more or less of at events?

"This is your chance to pretend you've got the power and can share your wishes and whims with the world. [[And hey...this is great fodder for the Family to help them out if they should ever start plotting evil things and decide to make personalized Twelfth Night or birthday gifts. *hint hint*]]

"Have fun with this one!
Jibra'il"

All because of my Wishes and Whims post! What sort of monster have I created?
