Goodbye Polly....
Connoiseurs of this forum (are there such people?) will notice that I've dropped the 'Polly Garland' from the top. This is because, after a lot of agonising, I've decided to write both the m/m and the m/f under the same name. I'm already really confused by all my aliases, and overwhelmed by the promo requirements, and it just seemed simpler to go with Ansley Vaughan for both. Tavaran is, as we speak, digging a hole under the patio and Polly will be interred at dead of night. No flowers, by request. She may rise again when I need an alias for a different genre. Goodbye, Polly!

You'll have to rename her Polly Phoenix if she's going to rise from the ashes....

LOL! *waves bye-bye*

Alas poor Polly, I knew her Horatio....

She can join vampy....

We're gathered here today to bid farewell to Mrs. Polly *checks notes* Garland. She departed this world leaving behind numerous crackers and tensil. She will be remembered by her family, friends and words. Not many know this about Polly, but she was the unsung hero and star of the Monty Python dead par-- Wait. Wrong Polly. At the risk of offending everyone who was ever named Polly, I'm glad you changed it. I always think of parrots when I hear that name.

I like Ansley Vauhgan much better. Rest your soul, Polly.

kmfrontain: I like Ansley Vauhgan much better. Rest your soul, Polly. Agreed. Ansley Vauhgan is a great name.

Thank you all for attending the obsequies for poor Polly. She is now firmly interred. And yes, I agree Polly is a funny name. It was the nickname given to my great-grandmother (for reasons I've never understood, it's the nickname for people called Mary-Anne) I'm glad you like Ansley Vaughan better; they're also both family names. But Polly will be back!

But Polly will be back! *hangs head* I made a joke about your great-grandmother's name. Could someone pass me some salt to put on my foot? It'll taste better that way. I can barely pronounce my great-grandmother's name. Kejidi. Kuh-HE-duh. She changed it to Kathryne/Katryne (the spelling varied) after immigrating to the states. My aunt Kathy tried to get the family to call her Kejidi, but that didn't go over very well. Old habits die hard I suppose.

Kejidi is lovely. I can't begin to guess where it comes from, although it sounds a bit Persian. Did you like my parrot?
