Mm, now I want a brownie in a fudge crust. This diet hasn't actually been that hard, mostly because I'm barely leaving the house, but today I kept wanting to eat All the Things. Even though I'm not hungry. I'm blaming hormones.

Is Kat here, or anyone who can answer Hawaii questions? I am reading a fic with a lot of white people talking like native Hawaiians, and calling mainlanders haole. I thought all white people in Hawaii were haole, though. Is this a "brother from another mother" situation?

Ask Java--she is white and grew up in Hawaii, no?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She hasn't posted in Natter recently, but I hope she sees it.

The status is NOT quo.

You don't say "sore-y" either, right?

Ha! This is totally a thing. ND's parents both immigrated from Canada, and he has a lot of Canadianisms, including that one. Every time he says sorry it makes me giggle a little inside.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I had no idea the way I say borrow is considered Canadian until Nutty complained about Nathan Fillion doing it in Firefly. Then I could hear the difference, and couldn't say the word without feeling awkward for about six months.

I mean, like sorry, there's a fuckin' O in it, Americans.

AN O, I SAY.

Also, I didn't realize until I was writing Buffy fic how many turns of phrase I use on a regular basis, picked up from my parents and extended family, are not common down here. My betas would chide me for it on a semi-regular basis.

No flat A in pasta or Mazda though. Those ones make me cringe.
