Rosalinda Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 It goes without saying... for those of us landlocked... we'll be expecting to see some of Quill's fine photojournalism and reporting of the events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Drat it all! I shall have to miss this..and the thing next weekend. It's PITIFUL I tell you... I'm going to make up for this eventually. Sometime. Though how I have no clue...it doesn't seem like it's nearly September already. Where is the year going? "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 If I were that close... I'd be on The Royaliste already. The chance to sail with a REAL pirate on a REAL pirate ship? A bona fide Pirate? Not a pretend pirate... mind you. And those of you who are so close are passing up an opportunity LIKE THAT? ??? Previous arrangements due to work and such. Believe me, If there was any way I could pry my way OUT of my current situation, I would. This ain't passin'. This is the irons of life on m'poor wee anklets. Now...rumor HAS it when I go up to Seattle next week that certain pretty ladies may be in town... *cough*LadyWashington*cough* I have yet to hear full confirmation that I will be able to see them, however..... *shifty eyes* "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

the Royaliste Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 :) Although I love the Lady and her crew, skipping the Royaliste in her own back yard, and proclaiming a visit to the Lady on the Royaliste thread aint exactly proper respect due a sailng vessel...rather an insult ..and she aint even a real pirate ship, state sponsored and all.....Why, come to think of it, she's the Kings Navy!..loading portside batteries.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I only found out she was in my backyard YESTERDAY! Thus, no way to pry off the irons of my work commitments for tomorrow, OR next weekend...seeing the bird to Seattle's already been booked an' all.... Now, if ye wanna help me tie time and space into neat little pretzels an make it to where I can be in two different states at once, I'd be mighty grateful. Otherwise, I'm in a great deal of a predicament, and I shall simply have to find a way to make amends to the good Captain in my backyard and his beloved vessel in a very short amount of time. Like...rum. Or Ojai. Or...something. ....I'm not going to be forgiven for this am I luv? Sweet cookies, I didn't even know my presence was going to be so missed! "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Gads, I wish I could. Just can't leave my students very long or they start dropping out of our program and if my enrollment and income drop... the school will shut my department down. I've managed to do the impossible with it so far and don't dare take too many days off. *wrings hands in frustration* I'm working on sending Saber on his own though.... keep yer fingers crossed!! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
