My dad commissioned me to slay dragons today at work. Little does he know that it's actually just my job to FIND the dragons; the programmers are the ones who slay them!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Deborah the Dragon Slayer!! ;-P

You have a viking icon -- why not get a dragon one?

[ceallaighgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, then I'd have to eliminate one of my current ones.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

But you only have 6 -- I get 15! Don't you have a free Plus Account, or something?

[ceallaighgirl.livejournal.com]

No, I don't want to pay and I don't want ads.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Deborah, I don't pay a penny. I believe there are two types of free accounts, and I think I chose the "higher" one with more icons. I think you can upgrade yours for free...?

[ceallaighgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, like I said, I don't want ads on mine. The "free" one comes with ads. I hate ads.

You are so good at keeping all of these different days straight.:)
How have you been?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Since I'm an Anglophile and I like dragons, I simply had to celebrate today. ;-P

Pretty good thanks -- how about yourself?

Your icon is exactly what my brother says all the time. :-D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I don't think I get any ads. Where are the ads? I have an advertisement bar at the top of my journal, but it's blank since I didn't check off any interests.

...lol, the lady looks as though she doesn't really know what's going on (how very English). Are you going to post for Saint Andrew, Saint David, and Saint Tamanend? What I mean to ask is, are you celebrating a person or a nation?

I guess I should have said "Huzzah for England!"

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Yes, she's completely clueless!! ;-) Do you mean that English girls are that way, or that English women are depicted that way in art?

I would have posted for Saint David's Day had I known about it in enough time. Who the heck is St. Tamanend??

[seventh-stage.livejournal.com]

I made some icons, thank you for the idea!
I like this story :)

Lovely job! And I'm pleased to be of use to you!

I like the story, too. Anything with damsels in distress!! ;-P

*snort*

[iane-grey.livejournal.com]

Huzzah for England? You may say so, and therefore balance of praise will be maintained; your praise will fall in place of mine. I love my country, but do believe that patriotism - or rather chauvinism - is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Do you like the stories behind the saints? There, I can easily relate :)

St. Tamanend was the patron saint of America..??

Re: *snort*

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Well, I may not be English, and I've never even so much as set foot there, but I like England.

I love my country too, and I consider patriotism to be a virtue. Chauvenism, however, is a vice.

Yes, I do! I've always been interested in the people in history, rather than the deadly-dull dates and facts.

I've never heard of him -- and apparantly neither has Wikipedia. Perhaps he's the patron saint of tamarinds? ;-P

*frown*

[iane-grey.livejournal.com]

Saint Tamanend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamanend). Seems he's been revoked by the Catholic church, along with Saint Christopher. Bother.

puh-leeeze!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Oh how ridiculous. I wonder what iniquitous crime he committed to deserve such a fate. *rolls eyes*
