neorxewange

paradise!

that's right - it's time for us all to learn a new word... actually, a very old word! my charming, and too smart to be tied down to one subject brother is taking old english, and is very likely going to do graduate work in said field! (to what end no one is really sure, but hey - at least he has a plan!) and as a bonus to me, and trickling down to all of you, he is teaching me old english words! the first one i want to pass on to you is OE for 'paradise' or 'garden'... neorxewange! what? you can't figure out how to pronounce that? here, let me help you... NAY-org-sah-wong-a. fairly trips off the tongue, doesn't it? :)

Did you not know that before? I dont mean to sound pompous, but I just always assumed everyone knew that word....

I am a little afraid, frankly. While please that the Vincent has a plan, our lives are going to become very silly ... and probably complicated... but on the other hand, it may turn into neorxewange!
