EILEEN'S DEFINITIONS - 14

8/4/2014

0 Comments

 
Toffee nosed
Eileen applies this to anyone who doesn’t seem to appreciate her blunt manner of speaking.  By definition that would mean about 90% would end up being called this by Eileen.

Diplomat
Someone who tells lies for their government.  Not a role Eileen could take.

Schools
A place to keep children out of the way and busy.  Eileen likes this.  A child with not much to do heralds trouble as far as she’s concerned.

Terror
The appropriate response for anything remotely evil when confronted by Eileen.

Housekeeping
Managing the hell that is housework and again not for Eileen.  This kind of task can be left to others as far as she’s concerned.

Nocturnal
Normal shift as far as Eileen’s concerned.  The fact that it’s dark out there means nothing to her.

Obstinacy
What the Fairy Queen is guilty of.  Eileen’s viewpoint is perfectly reasonable from her viewpoint only.  Eileen sees herself as being determined.

Rock Music
Unbearable noise.  Not a view Jenny shares.

Classical Music
Heavenly noise!  Jenny does share this view though her tastes in music are far broader than her mother’s

Computers
Something humans are far too fond of in Eileen’s view.  She believes many treat their PCs better than their fellow humans, not something to be encouraged.  She also has no idea how to use a PC nor does she wish to learn.  Jenny of course is proficient at using one and has no time for her mother’s attitude.  Jenny also thinks that this kind of technology shows humans being “clever”, something that doesn’t fit in with the fairy world’s generally dismal view of human achievement.

Telephones
A noisy intrusion in a couple’s private life which roughly translated means Eileen is fed up to the back teeth with the thing ringing its head off when she and Derek are having a cuddle or more on the sofa.

    I'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems.  I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself!  Eileen is huge fun to write for and about.
