thursday

I’ve decided today was a practice run Thursday. Tomorrow will be the real Thursday.

(No, this won’t throw off the rest of the week. It’ll sort itself out by sometime next week. It always does. :))

    That’s the nice thing about self-employment and someone who is good at schedules! :)

  2. This better be a localized effect, ’cause if you make my paycheck late I shall be most thoroughly miffed with you!

  5. Catie,

    Have been reading your journal, first the archives, then finally caught up with current. Two things come to mind. 1. God, I wish I’d been able to get to know you better before we both moved. 2. You’re damned entertaining, even if it isn’t fiction. :-) By the way, how do I get to be a livejournal user? So I can have my own little person icon.

    Anyway on to Book titles. A little reasearch on the subject of Gypsy leads me to ask….from what background do the characters descend? Midieval England? Irish? (That would be good, considering where you are, but I don’t know enough about the backstory.) Egypt? Romani? 16th Century Lowland Scotland?

    Here are some things I bounced around, playing with ideas. And websites that might be of some help, course it might just muddy the waters, too, who knows.

    Gypsy-> another word for-> none found
    Descendant->Royality-> Successor?
    Successor-> to take over from-> to receive from->-> to inherit from
    Male-> Son-> Prince

    Barmakids—Descendant(s) of an Iranian Princely house of Central Asia
    “King Barmakids’ Successor?”…-> “King->insert character’s name here-> Successor”.
    Gypsy– Some scholars state that gypsies left India as a single, nomadic tribe (McDowell, 1970), while others refer to gypsies as Romani travelers. (Acton, 1974). Acton also states that the word “gypsy” is a contraction of the word Egyptian, which gypsies were thought at first to be since the first recorded gypsies told people they came from Egypt.

    Principality—> of being of royality-> royal descendant

    Anyway, hope this is at least of something to chew on. :-)
