"i won't be here for long"
Freakin' A. Someone bought our house.

::peering suspiciously at possible house-buying lurkers::

Regarding the "inhibit" v. "prohibit" query, I have managed---with my impeccable research skills and beloved dictionary---to get to the etymological root of things. (Am *such* a geek!)

inhibit ---> Middle English inhibiten, to forbid > Latin inhibere, to restrain, forbid : in-, in [see IN-(2)] + habere, to hold [see GHABH-]

prohibit ---> Middle English prohibiten > Latin prohibere : pro-, in front [see PRO-(1)] + habere, to hold [see GHABH-]

***

IN-(2) -- in; into; within

PRO-(1) -- 1. acting in the place of; substituting for 2. supporting; favoring

GHABH- -- 4a. ABLE, BINNACLE, HABILE, HABIT, HABITABLE, (HABITANT), (HABITAT); (COHABIT), EXHIBIT, INHABIT, INHIBIT, MALADY, PREBEND, PROHIBIT, (PROVENDER), from Latin habere, to hold, possess, have, handle ( > habitare, to dwell)

Aw, man. Does this mean I can't be the Token Republican? (And how funny is it that, according to this quiz, I equate Democrat, Communism, and Fascism equally?)

Someone bought the house! How great!
Oh, but I'm going to miss you so much!

Don't worry, Quila, no matter what, you're still my one republican friend. You can also be my one anarchist friend. Wait, I have a feeling I may have a few of those. You can be my one anarchist republican friend. :)

The surplus of anarchist friends was what I was worried about, as a matter of fact. But you're quite right: I *am* the one anarchist *republican* friend! :D I guess you shouldn't be surprised if I disappear into the Appalachian mountains---or Texas Hill Country---with several tons of heavy artillery.

Or maybe I'll just buy myself some land, fence it 'round with barbed wire, and create a retreat for those of us in need of the Wisdom of the Ages. We'll seek enlightenment on the front porch drinking mint juleps or something. ;)

Can you believe it about the house?! I declare, as soon as I mock Murphy's Law, the Murphy's Law of Murphy's Law kicks in. So damn predictable. Someone should do something about that.... Anyway, looks like we're gonna have to be moved within the month. Which leaves little time for, well, anything.

Ironic, isn't it, that the moment we established our ljs (perfect for long-distance communication and connection), we have need of them.

Can't decide whether I'm happy or sad or terrified or excited.

Definitely know I'm gonna miss you, though, P. (Am having *the* toughest time locating a nickname, BTW...they're either too close to "sister" or utterly unpronounceable. Will keep looking, though.)

Congrads on the house. Boo hoo to the moving. Any idea when closing will be? Thank you for the research. Now all I need to do is figure it out. Oh, and for your humor, I am posting my quiz results. I didn't know it was possible to be so non-republican

Ha! Methinks that quiz is not altogether...erm, scientifically accurate. 'Tis funny, though. As for the house closing, I'm not solid on all the details as yet, but I believe the buyer (single white male, early 30s, from Minnesota) is planning on moving in round 'bout March 25th. ::weirded out::

So, dude, if ye're gonna streak my hair blue, we gotta get crackin'! And I need to see your play....

Ack!

I hit town again Mon. Night. I have Nicole schedualed for Tues, and a rehearsal after that. I'm free pretty much whenever during the week, or next weekend. I'll look you up when I get back.
