She’s my friend, isn’t she?

Or were you refering to me?

In either case, it’s accurate. :)

I am also looking forward to revelling in our revel tonight. ( I don’t think we know any dances from Revel).

FYI this comes from the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French “reveler”, literally, to rebel (so we weren’t so far off in wanting to rebel from going to class and revel in the snow), from Latin “rebellare”

Revel: intransitive verb – 1. to take part in a revel: Carouse 2. to take intense pleasure or satisfaction
Revel: noun – a usually wild party or celebration
Revel: geographical name – see Talinn (is that anything like “see etiqutte”?)

Wow! Who’d a thought that such a little word would have so many definations?
(Do I win a prize for using “revel” the most in one comment? I promise I would revel it. He he he!)
