History

Trey, I might have had to punch you in the face for RANDOMLY referencing Britney Spears in the tags, but since you have amazed me once more, I opt not to.

For the sake of our devoted readers (I continue to delude myself that there is a plural in all of this), I shall recount our recent conversation:

G: Trey, give me a historical event in 1856.

:interlude while Trey thinks:

T: Piedmont-Savoy went to war with Austria with the aid of France.

I've never even heard of Piedmont-Sav--------------

IMPORTANT NEWS BULLITEN!

Trey was completely incorrect.  The place was Sardinia, and it happened in 1859.  Sorry, Trey, no brownie points for you.  However, you do get minimal points for even having heard of Piedmont-Savoy, which I sure hadn't.

(I was trying really hard to pay homage to you in this post, too.  I mean, last time we played the Gracey-names-a-year-and-Trey-names-a-historical-even Game, you pwned.  Yes, pwned.)

Anyway, I'm reading Pride and Prejudice (just past L's elopement, for anyone who's read the book/knows the story) and even though I've read it before, I really want to read some more.

I'll probably put up a more comprehensive post in the near future.  Of course, I imagine that you might want to yell at me for making your disgrace public.

I really do love you dearly, though.

:smiles widely:

 

Love,

Gracey

Dude, G, I found this all on my own. *grins proudly* And I'm happy to say that I love it. I think wittiness is one of your many talents. Up there with french braiding your own hair.

But that's besides the point. The point is that I think you and Trey have a new reader *waits for greatly anticipated applause and raucous but flattering screams of excitement*.

Love you

Mel!!

I'm not alone anymore!

*sighs with relief*

Well, it was actually kind of fun being the only reader. But whatever.

I don't think my advertising worked, guys. Sigh. I think I'm going to put my Ronald Weasely quote back up...

Sardinia. Wait. That's the/an island off of/belonging to Italy, right? There's an island north of it that belongs to France, right? Let's hope so. It'd be rather sad if I got it wrong.

Silly Kat. The advertising worked. That's how I found this! (shhh. I totally found this ALL ON MY OWN except for that tiny hint that had the link on it.)

Sardinia? Only bell that rings is fish. <.< Geography and I are opposite forces fighting for world domination (I shall prevail. Don't doubt me) and I absolutely hate it.

By strange contagious video frenzy forces, I'm having these weird impulses to make a video. *raises eyebrows in anticipation* ooooh. This'll be good.

Wait for it, guys. When it comes, it WILL blow you off your feet. It will blow you across room. It will blow you out unto lengths of epic proportions. Bwahaha.

Of course I had to add a random tag for Miss Spears! She's a genius! Plus, she needs all the emotional support she can get <3

And yay for a new recruit! Welcome Mel!

Trey, when I said comment, I meant something along the lines of "be friendly to our new reader." You can comment on ME in your posts, goose.

All on your own except for the link, eh?

Mwahaha.

And indeed, Sardinia is an island off the coast of Italy that belongs to Italy, and Corsica is north of Sardinia and that belongs to France.

YAY!

This is what I get for living in Italy for six years. Look what they taught me--that there are two huge islands off Italy, and a third that belongs to France! Woop de doo.

Well, I mean, there are more islands than that. Capri and, erm, Ischia come to mind. And other ones. But those are small.

But anyways. Yep. It would have been sad if I had been incorrect. Shame would radiate from Italian teacher people that teach you how to say spoon every year.

(I can't really blame them, I guess, because people move so often. But still. It got rather boring learning how to say spoon every year, I must admit. That and 'What's your name?' '[Your Name], and you?')
