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?

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".

If I only had a brain...
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. :)

I kept a diary in dwarf-runes when I was 16. But the language was english.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god. Thanks for reminding me. I took notes in school in runish script.
I'd completely forgotten.

You are all way geekier than me. I barely achieved nerd-dom.
