Even though I've read it about fifty million times, I always re-read it and find new things. Hmm... what about the Arrows trilogy? That would be good. Maybe some of the Diane Trigarde books, especially "The Children of The Night".

Just for posterity's sake, testerone actually does increase the size and, i think, change the shape of brain cells. Also, girls who have received abnormally high levels of testosterone before or during birth, w/o receiving enough sorts of chemicals to turn 'em male, show behavior differences which are more similar to a stereotypical "boy" pattern. Now, with this behavior, it might be that their parents *expected* them to act more masculine and so let them.... or something. I dunno. (Yes, I know as a trend, males tend > to be better at spacial thinking whereas females tend to be better at > linguistics and lateral thinking but I would argue that these are the results > of societal inputs rather than something inherent). These trends are terribly small. Not worth noticing unless you are doing a big study on the subject. No actual effect on daily life. Too great an overlap. Decided sentence fragments cool. Complete sentences too much trouble.

Message-ID: <960212163745_142302907-+AT+-emout04.mail.aol.com> Well, now that I have your attention I would like to ask, who is the leader of all the different groups (Ladies in Green, Ones in Black, etc.) and how do I get a hold of them? I am a Tayledras Adept looking for a "Clan" to take me in. If there are any groups, or "clans", willing to take me in I would be eternally grateful. Now, some (all?) of you would most likely wish to hear the reason I am in need of a Clan and I will tell you right off that I was not kicked out nor was my clan slaughtered. I do have a tale to tell but only if you wish to hear it. I thank you for your time and would like to ask two more question if I may. What is all this talk of mage wars and stuff? What goes on in a mage war? I am willing to fight in one but I would like to know what they are about first.

'Lendel had died at seventeen. Van had met Stef when the Bard was seventeen. There was time enough, between 'Lendel's death and now- STef was exactly the righgt age to have been born about that time. More things sprang to mind. The Dreamtime encounter with 'Lendel- the things he had said- the way the Tayledras treated Stef and the way Savil had taken the Bard under her wing after that- it was all beginning to make a pattern. The way he called me ashke without ever hearing the word. No. Yes. What other answer is there?

She renounced her claim to the throne and to make her more ineligible, she is involved with a Tayledras. Now if Darkwind was chosen, this would make him a more acceptable future consort. Maybe this is "fate" that he is not chosen, even though he would appear otherwise to be an acceptable herald, more or less. I think it was in SR that he stayed in Valdemar and there was some comment about him now living there, so he does consider it his home, I think.

I mean, it's not like Darkwind was hanging around twiddling his thumbs...he's already got a career of sorts, unless my memory plays me completely false. Also, how would a Companion get along with a bondbird? (not necessarily disqualifying, just an interesting question) Morticia > > Hey everyone.

Message-ID: Well, I am the leader of the Cat People, and I know we would welcome anyone who wishes to join! We represent the non-humans , but we are glad to have anyone. Aren't you guys proud of me? I finally figured out where and when and by whom the mage-wars were started! _Shadow-Lover was looking for a new read and threatened whoever said Piers Anthony with a levin-bolt (after a recent incursion of the MIW) _I yelled Piers Anthony, and he threw a levin-bolt at my head (a greasy one at that!), and Gyrfalcon threw a coconut. _That started a general free-for-all involving coconuts, oranges, leving-bolts, snowballs, psychic daggers, real daggers, and a whole bunch of other things. _Somewhere in the midst of this the groups got formed. _Shadow-Lover recovered from the psychic dagger I slammed through his skull and Challanged me. _Truce (he called up something that blew up in our faces) _All the groups gang together against Gyrfalcon and HIS Men in White. Face it, Gyr. No one believes you. I doubt Misty would believe you, much less anyone here. ;) We do the mage-wars pretty much according to Misty's rules. And with a few...additions, such as fire-lizards, kendar, wolves, etc. :) That's pretty much where we are. We're all gathering allies. And the Cat People would be honored to have you, Moonsong! |----------------------------<>------------------------| | See these eyes so green I can stare for a thousand years | | Colder than the moon Well, it's been so long | | And I've been putting out fire with gasoline | | David Bowie__"Cat People" | |--------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 1996 21:52:52 -0400 (EDT) From: Mat Timmerman To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Subject: Re: Cats and dogs Message-ID: <01I1533HC60IQT6G58-+AT+-vaxc.hofstra.edu> From: Flynn > >>I'm your only friend >>I'm not your only friend >>But I'm a little glowing friend >>But really I'm not actually your friend >>But I am >> --They Might Be Giants >> >> >Even old New York, >was once New Amsterdam, >Why'd they change it, >I can't say. >People just like it better that way! > > --They Might Be Giants Yeah, but TMBG didn't write "Istanbul (not Constantinople)". IIRC, Paul Simon and someone else (not Art Garfunkel) wrote it. If you look closely, you can find the attribution on the album's jacket.
