Merry Christmas one and all. Hope you all have had a fantastic holiday season and enjoyed the lights whatever your religious inclination. I've had a great time at home with family, and got some great gifts off them. It's funny, since I'm living away from the and doing my own thing now, they consider me too old for expensive lavishing of gifts [well the still spent a fair whack, but not compared to when I was younger] yet for the first time they gave me really personal, thoughtful gifts, which made me significantly happier to receive than pricey generic ones.
Anyway. I have a challenge for y'all. I need something translated but my sources thus far are failing me. If any of you can help at all I will reward you in any way you deem appropriate. It is Welsh, but perhaps archaic. Several utterances but I want them all so I will write them all as they appear in the text they are from.
Y LLAMIN ARACH ARWYR! ARWYR Y ROI! ARACH AVALLACH, YSTIN!
ARACH AVALLACH, FIR SHEEDA.
ARACH EX LLORIANA SHEEDA? Y DA LLAMFADA DU ARACH! LLAMFADA!
PEN VINCIT Y DU FIR SHEEDA NEBULAU
Key words of note:
Sheeda = horrid fairy people
Ystin = Justin
Lloriana = prob Gloriana, Sheeda Queen
And the content probably pertains to Avalon and knight stuff.
There you have it. Answers on a postcard, email or comment. I will love you forever etc etc. I know what it looks like it says but I want real valid translations.
In other news, I have become a non-smoker and am also going to be celibate for a year to see if I can exorcise some demons. Hurrah! What's YOUR New Year's Resolution?

That was a cool digression...and in and of itself, may actually provide a good seed for a story...hm!
My personal take on people who end up having cybersex or fall in love online is that they're so...well, closeted in a way. They really have a disdain for people who interact one-on-one in person, and that creates it's own interesting ideas...hmm..
Will scan 2nite. U art like a bat out of hell and I will offer my usual eloquent critique as soon as is humanly possible
