Good News

If I was worried about being considered socially awkward at my new BYU ward, those fears are now officially qualmed. (<-- is that a real word? I always thought it was, but spell check is getting mad at me...)

Anyway, I was carousing about on the facebook group comprised of members of my new ward, when I found THIS little gem.

In response to the question, "What have you been up to this summer?" A certain someone (with whom i will most definitely get acquainted) responded, 

"I'm involved in a medieval combat game called Dagorhir with a few of my friends."

I kid you not. 

So yeah, needless to say, I'm a little less worried.

Please tell me you plan on becoming his new best friend or even better his girlfriend. He sounds like he has major boyfriend potential...

So I am beginning to think that I need to go to your ward. I haven't really found out anything about my ward and I am a little...False... A LOT jealous of this boy that you speak of. I hope his friends are going to BYU also so we can have game nights with them :)

FYI: Websters says of "qualm": 1 : a sudden attack of illness, faintness, or nausea 2 : a sudden access of usually disturbing emotion (as doubt or fear) 3 : a feeling of uneasiness about a point especially of conscience or propriety
— qualmy adjective

So, qualm is a noun. There is no mention of using it as a verb. I wonder if you were maybe thinking of "calm" because even if qualm was a verb, it seems to be kind of the opposite of the idea you are trying to convey.

You're welcome. :-)

P.S. Please don't ask to bring Dagorhir boy home for Thanksgiving!

Thank you mother. I don't know why but I have always thought "qualm" was like, a more sophisticated version of qualm. It certainly is not.

Also, I don't know. Maybe you should get the family caught up on its medieval lingo in preparation for Thanksgiving. ;)

Ohhhh i miss BYU.

As for qualmed: can it be a verb? I only know it as a noun but my knowledge is limited. limited in that I DON'T know everything about everything, as it turns out.

nice. note to self: read other people's comments first so as to avoid looking foolish.

Were you looking for "quell"? Both of those are great words, however. I remember the time my friend Tamra and I were playing Scrabble and she got 66 points with the word "qualm." Amazing. Now I'M sounding totally geeky. What was this medieval kid's name? Maybe he and I can hang out...
