Hola Kristina,
Thanks for sweeping by.
Duende- is that not the "mysterious power that everyone feels but no philosopher can explain"? That's what Frederico Garcia Lorca reckons anyway. I think it also has something in common with the Portuguese "Suadade", but I do not know what. In any case, I would think that it is a difficult think to be the PS of. Good luck with it, it is a valuable commoditee (sic) and well worth protecting.
Now, I am off to finish the work of carefully disguising my true identity.
Hola E.L.P no.3!..
Kristina the Flamenco Dancer - PS of Duende, Muse Posted Jul 31, 2001
Disguise?
And YES, being the Patron Saint of Duende is difficult, mostly because it's so difficult to describe to someone who hasn't experienced it - but here's a quote I like:
'Duende is often described as the spirit of flamenco. You will find it everywhere, though, as it appears in all forms of live performances expressing genuine feelings, separating mere talent from genius.'
Hmm - and what's that at the bottom of your page?
'And never, under any circumstances, encourage it.'
Does this conversation count?
Hola E.L.P no.3!..

Yes it does. I have been encouraged now- despite my attempts to remain un-encouraged. I am still new to this, and somewhat overly-cautious. Anyway, having been encouraged, I have removed the "do not encourage" from my intro. Now it just has two sentences. I like them, at least. Still thinking about the rest.

Oh, it does count? Ooops!
Well, have fun - the Guide is HUGE - and feel free to ask if you have questions!

Hello Archangel Galaxy Babe,
Thanks for the compliment. I reckon we are all encapsulated Life Pods of one sort or another, don't you think? And I chose number 3, well, because I originally made up this big story about a secret corporation producing Life Pods, and I was experiment number 3. But that's all in the past now.
You have a great name too, by the way- sort of swooping and positive all at once.
Well, thanks for stopping by- It can be a bit overwhelming being a life pod on the threshold of a whole new world- and I am still trying to get smileys into my postings- so my apologies if this message is bereft of them.
<SMILEY> Did it work? Probably not...

Smileys
The love of our lives on h2g2
OK.....click here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/smiley
to view them all in their glory.
Then start practising:
< hug > {without the spaces} for
< tea > ditto for
< cheerup > ditto for
< bubbly > ditto for
Other smileys just make with characters thus:
: - ) {without the spaces} for
: - ( ditto for
; - )
8 - )
You will soon get the hang on them, I promise!
If you ever see one in a forum and want to know how to type it without going to the smiley page, just hold your cursor over the said smiley. Then remember to type the "<" and ">"
You can also get to the smiley page by clicking on any smiley
Another tip, if you want to check you have typed a smiley correctly before you post, then click the "preview" button, if the smiley is ok then click "post"
Let us know if we can help you further, that's what we are here for!
Do you preferor
?
Oh, and thanks for the returned compliment about my name!
I used to be just Galaxy Babe but I got promoted in the Guardian Angels
