So I'm either a musical instrument, a flower, or the essence of fear?

You're that feeling when viola players are pointing at something in the notes and giggling and whispering to each other.



I - wait - uh -

...

What the heck, I have no comebacks. This probably counts as a K.O.

Somehow I've come to associate you with the dowager countess from Downton Abbey. I guess that means the answer is the latter.

Maybe for the best, Iceland can't spare any trees (I chose that picture 'cause it looks like she's actually talking to a tree).

A smol mage maze?

Is it a maze now? Does it... does it have a minotaur?

Doesn't it come from a word meaning wind? Either that or you actually are your username irl.

Muahahaha

I... I am not complaining.

I should point out that her name is Violet, so it's not completely random.

Professer McGonagall Cousin Violet is actually one of my favourite characters in the series :D

and
it actually got published in the book that the writing website made after it got shut down. so that's. that's a thing.

*Joins Piney in tree-town*

Really would like some snow this year, but it won't be happening for quite some time.  It only just got down to 8 C last night, is about 17 right now, and is going to be in the mid 20's this coming week.  It's sad we only get snow once every couple years.  ._.  Also, some of the locals are already wearing jackets.  It's kind of sad.  u__u
Feel free to PM.

Taking notes, snowing is catchy. Plus I notice I just typoed Haiz into a maze instead of a mace, ooops my bad, hope you don't mind that Minotaur too much. :D

Meanwhile important news from the Lauf household: the old showerhead was breaking apart so it was time to get a new one. Now the shower is a touch fancier with five(!) different shower settings. The first one is just a normal shower, nothing special except it's wonderful to have a non-clogged showerhead (Icelandic tap water can have silica in it, white stuff that cannot be removed by any means that I know of once it sets in). Second one was a "waterfall", in other words LOTS of water which was great!

After that came some kind of a massaging shower but only if a massage is supposed to rip the hair off your head. I reacted by immediately switching to next, which was a big mistake - same massage option, only ten times harder. My shoulders feel so exfoliated now. The last one was just bizarre, a very small shower but with a lot of water, a bit like a horse peeing on you which is not a thing you want to think about while bathing. Although only two settings of the five are pleasant I think I'm still going to give this experience an A, the waterfall was worth it.

If usernames were literal I would be chasing Rabbit around unless I were a rug in Huntra's living room.

I'd be...uh, a hive mind of foxes? Strange. Unless, to follow Fimbulvarg's example, I'd be a lot of coats.

I like to try out those fancy showerheads at hotels, but the problem is I'm...short so trying to adjust the showerhead can range from anywhere from "okay" to "augh water everywhere." The "massaging" settings are usually kind of scary.
