| Apparently, I have missed angst. I've gone largely without (apart from lesser angst) for over a year. A brief spate of angst - for reasons that are not for general public consumption - has been almost enjoyable, at least in retrospect. It also provides lots of fodder for creativity. Characters in stories I write will be hating me for instilling their lives with stylised angst, and reasons for same. I would be able to use the word 'fey' to describe a character, if it didn't also have that bloody elfy definition. Damn waste of a good word.

| Not to mention: Fey \Fey\, v. t. [Cf. {Feague}.] To cleanse; to clean out. [Obs.] --Tusser. From whence: Fey, adj. Suggestive of the elfin ability to clean the house thoroughly before being struck dead by lightning on a dark and boding night. In the rain. |

| ...hm... the latter definition reminds of the washing-up pixie... [how to clean the f***ing kitchen for dummies, via Kevan] |

| Well, that explains why elves *don't* generally clean house - they may be struck dead by lightning on a dark and boding night. In the rain. (always wondered why - thanks). |
