mama_porter | hello

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to write for my very first post ever but Shane told me that it doesn't matter. He's the one who told me I could talk to my friends here after I said I wished there was a way to do that not involving email. I don't mind email so much but I know that Will does so many things here with his friends I thought it would be fun to take part. Not that I'm trying to be like my son or anything. He knows that. I hope.

Shane helped me with those pictures (oh, he says the correct term is "icons." Excuse me!) by taking some of my photos and putting them in the computer. There's a process. And he's going to help me "friend" people. I've never heard the word friend used as a verb before, as in "I friended someone." Isn't that funny? I suppose it isn't if you're used to all of this, but I find it amusing. I asked Shane if he uses his blogger(?) a lot and he said he doesn't write in it but reads everything. I think I'd like to write in mine as well as find things to read.

I hope that it's all right for me to "friend" those of you I've met before. I'll be at a loss when Shane's not helping me out so I also hope people won't mind me asking questions.

Okay, I am getting ready to send this. Shane says I should preview then send so I can see my mistakes first. But I don't mind making mistakes as long as it's not some terrible rule I'm breaking.

And what in the world is a community? I know what they are in the outside world but they sound more like clubs to me here. Is that right? I have a lot to learn.

I have a small talent for jewelry making, but nothing such as my father, Thranduil, possesses.

Among my kin the celebration is called Yule or Mid-Winter Feast. Such gifts are commonly given then, something small and made by the giver with thought to how it may be useful to the recipient.

That is such a thoughtful tradition. I wish we could focus on gifts that are made. It seems so much more loving and personal.

It is truly an ancient tradition and may not well suit in this time.

There's so much commercialization surrounding the holidays nowadays. I think I'm going to make all my presents next year and I don't care if it suits the time. I think it's lovely.

I cannot but think, my lady, that any gift you gave would already be of the heart and well thought.

Oh, honey, you are such a sweetheart. You can make me blush just by giving me a compliment. Thank you.

You are most welcome, Lady Inez, although I speak only the truth.

You know, Will used to talk to me about you after he fell in love with you. He said that you could make something as simple as the truth sound like a love song and I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. But I could see why he'd say that.

*blushes* Your son has the soul and tongue of a bard, lady.

It would seem you do, too.

You know, I'm very happy that I'm going to have a chance to get to know you better.

And I you, my lady.

When next your son come to visit me in my wood, perhaps you would come as well?

I would love that! But only if you're sure you wouldn't mind me tagging along.

You are always welcome, my lady.

Thank you very much, dear. You are a delight.

*blushes*
I look much forward to coming to know you as a friend all of your own as well as the mother and mother under law of my dearest friends.

I'm happy about the chance to do that, too. I feel very lucky that I can get to know Will's friends on my own and he doesn't mind it.

If he should come to mind, I believe I can persuade him other.

Now, how would you do that?

*grins charmingly*
I have my methods.

I just bet you do!

There are times your son listens well.

You'll have to teach me the secret to that.

When I discover how I accomplish it, my lady, I will be happy to teach you the art.

Thank you!

You are most welcome, Lady Inez.

ooc- End here?
