EEEEEEE

I'm almost never affected enough by sugar to have a sugar high, but I am pretty high right now. Both on sugar and sheer geeky glee.

So I went to my friend Amala's house for Onam dinner and ate SO MUCH. Rice and curry with so many different and delicious side dishes, all sorts of vegetables prepared in different ways with different spices and lentil types and stuff. And then her mum wouldn't let us leave until we had dessert; homemade fruit cake with a layer of cream cheese on top and some very rich payasam. Also, Amala is also a fan of Ancient Egypt and one of her friends, Azimah, is also a lover of Egypt and she is also an awesome artist, and since she lives near me we went home together and were chatting away and I was just happy to have made a new and awesomely quirky friend whom I connected with.

Then I got home and there was a little package from the lovely nevermore_1106!



I'd sent her a book, bookmark and a letter in runes for her birthday, but hadn't been expecting a reply in runes as well so it was a VERY pleasant surprise, I nearly squee'ed. I'm enjoying reading it! And look at that AMAZING drawing of Fëanor from the Silmarillion! There's even Elvish script on his sword! Man, I want his clothes. And I love that she drew him with the Silmarils and then sent me a beautiful pendant. XD

... So I translated the letter; apparently the pendant is a copy of an actual crystal piece found in Gotland, Sweden, dating back to the Viking era. EEEEEEE!

Þokk, dear! ♥
