I am currently sitting in front of my computer, which is in my kitchen, waiting for something to finish cooking in my microwave.
As I will be eating shortly, one might well wonder why I chose to sign in, or why I feel compelled to share this uninteresting news with you.
Well, I did not know that within 5 minutes of me signing in, my son was going to ask if I fancied something to eat, which I do... because I'm hungry. So, now I'm sitting here thinking, "Don't get too involved with the forum discussions, or at least not until after I've eaten."
"That's all well and good", you might think, "but why are you telling us all this?"
Um, I have no idea. None whatsoever.

Whilst Sparkly knows she is without a doubt completely bonkers, or at least she was when she originally created this post (and hopes she still is now and always will be), Sparkly is inclined to think she might not be alone in being bonkers, considering some of the contributions made to this discussion.
This reference makes less sense than I intended. Curses and spells aren’t really the same thing are they
We're doomed!

Good side! You’re not a hood.
I wonder who the frog in question was? I’ll just stay on your hood side then!
*gulps*
That’s very sweet.
Shardovan, there is a comment I am so tempted to make, referencing something that had been said to me in the past (not by you). However, I will resist the temptation as I fear it could bring the mood down. Let's just say this 'something' in relation to me putting a curse on folk amuses me greatly.
I think that would be somewhere it is certainly wise to eat dessert first!
Yup. I'm blaming Sparkly, despite a flamboyant lifetime of being abnormal.
Oi, who are you calling normal?!!! I've never been normal and never will be.
I'm relieved!
I am of the same generation hampered massively by this ridiculous idea. I only overcame it a year or so ago with my Biblical Greek classes. I ended up having personal tuition and was able to really discuss what i got or didn't get about grammar. My teacher was very patient and we ended up having really interesting discussions about aspect theory and other such things which I never would have expected to get. It was brilliant. I also use my Greek for religious study, reading and exegesis, though in my classes I did also translate into Greek, which does help.
Tenses used to make me tense but now i find them fun!
Luftmentsch, I wasn't offended. Just curious.
Shardovan, Both! It depends on what kind of mood we are in, and the food supplies we have at the time.
However, if you meant 'biscuits' as in cheese and biscuits, it tends to be more of a snack thing I indulge in around Christmas.
Oh, I see. Thank you. In truth, though, I am dying of Sparkly's Thread. My eyeballs are going to roll down to my socks at any second.
Her curse has struck again. We were all normal once. Then she put a spell on us
Your one about Sparkly’s thread turning you autistic
I think I heard one time that’s how they have to eat meals in North Korea. Dessert first. But could be nonsense. Probably is.
