I think Dana's parents are just way too polite lol

But yeah, Celtic solidarity!

One thing that surprised me was that Dana's family is not like that. Like, I'd assumed that Scottish folks would be even more obnoxiously ABE in attitude than folks in North Wales lol

Have no fear, I have 20 varieties of heirloom apples taking up most of my fridge!

I think there are lots of things I'd post.

"Cherries are the best fruit. They're way better than apples.
I'm not even a real princess, just another peasant girl.
Brahms is better than Beethoven.
Estonian is an ugly language, I'd never learn it.
Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure wasn't even that great."

I wrote a paper on the Albigensian Crusades when I was an undergrad (in ancient times). History is indeed wild.

I'm waiting for humans to write the myth that explains how I am able to thaw the world.

"Every April, the goddess Mathonwy has a REALLY bad hot flash and all of Gēyōmīna's snow melts away from the heat radiating off of Lady Spring's body."

Gēyōmīna: *sitting in the Divine Cafeteria eating lunch*
Me: *scoots up next to her to cut up my apple*
Gēyōmīna: ...Do you have to sit so close, Spring Wench? We're, like, mortal enemies.
Me: Oh, sorry, Lady Winter. I was having a hot flash. *sighs in relief, my breath evinced in the frosty air*

The lachrimae rerum gets to me sometimes. Sometimes I think, "I've lingered fairly long Under the Sun; maybe it's time to go home where the stars always shine above dim-eyed shades."

In that place Beyond the Sun, my eyes would shine again with divine brilliance and the flowers grow ever at my feet.

This is true. I've written two children's books that I was probably more proud of than even my 400-page novels and tetralogy epics, and I never received an iota of pleasant feedback about my children's literature.

Tough customers.

I bought wired earbuds to replace them. I am indeed Mathonwy the Luddite.

Some technology just isn't an improvement.

Normally I don't complain about products, but I've had Raycon earbuds for a couple of years now and they have NEVER worked right. They work fine for about 30 minutes at a time, and then they need to be resynced. They're my first pair of Bluetooth earbuds, so I didn't think much of it.
