One of my ex-boyfriends learned the Elvish alphabet and used to write me letters in it. Why yes, I can still read and (if I really thought about it) write them. It's a little freaky.
Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Still waiting for the Ultimate Geek Wedding. A mixed service half in Klingon / Half in Elvish.
Imagine the Wedding Photos
Imagine the Wedding Swordfights.
He also renamed me with an Elvish name which he persisted in calling me all the time, and he accidently broke my nose during a SCA-style sword fight. Is it worth mentioning that this was not the healthiest relationship I've ever been in?
Depends on the name, I guess.
I think it was the whole "being named by someone else" thing rather than choosing a name yourself. I was only 19 and thought he was mysterious. As a teenager, it's easy to confuse "mysterious" with "weird and controlling".
I wrote a computer program to print out words in Elvish.
This was back in the way of Tektronix vector graphics.
Ah, geekery.
I've been slowly memorizing "The Lay of Larethian" from "The Lays of Beleriand" - all 4224 lines. I'm up around 300 now, I keep getting distracted by other things, like sleep, and Alfredo, and the rest of the world. But eventually...
My head is full of useless trivia, which is why I appreciate the rest of my friends - when they need a strange etymology, that's what I'm there for. When I need help living, that's what they're there for. :)
