I wanna go to a convention! But I can't decide if I can afford it.

Maybe I should just say "the hell with it" and go anyway because I'm compulsive like that and deal with the repercussions later.

It's not wether or not you can afford to go it's wether or not you can afford not to go. Oh yeah just blew your mind didn't I?!
It's late, too late considering the amount I've slept in the last few day.

I LOVE not sleeping!!!! I can't wait until next Tuesday night when I'm all done with my midterms, I can go to the bar and get annihilated, pass out on the bus to chicago, and then pass out on my flight to Orlando, and then wake up mildly refreshed in beautiful, warm, and sunny weather.

Why can't conventions ever happen in Chicago? At least big ones . . .

We'll see, we'll see

You thought you had problems with breadcrumbs! It will take you till next weekend to read this sucker.

N0S! Copilot! I'm glad you're having fun with the IM potential of the random :) :)

OK, but Citizen, man you have the, wait a minute, that's two whole sets of the crappiest Tolkein names ever!
Tosil Fegnes's son? Puh-lease, Tolkein's dog would have had more imagination than that.
Bruillyra the Heavy-handed?!?!? How did an elf manage to get a dwarf name. I'll bet he scowls and has a wart.

The first set was bad, but some of the second set was so awful, I had to go get it in case anyone missed how terribly you were abused by the random name generator...

Dwarf: Loilir Fegnus's son
What shall we name our son?
Does it matter? We're probably just going to end up eating him like the last one.
Human: Gaedry Bowman
My first name, how Dyslexics spell greedy.
Wizard: Olórin , Huntsman of the Valar
I have a defective name.

Interesting thing, if I put in female instead of male, I get much better names.

What, pray tell, are the floral versions of this nightmare?
I have to go out of town for a week, probably won't be able to scream with laughter in a timely fashion, but I will find it in the archive. I'm expecting something along the lines of Nettle Smellytoes, Bogblossom Big Bootay, Countess of the Vale of Vile Fortune.

Actually he has a humpback, a limp and has two lazy eyes. Though his constant cross-eyed stare brings big laughs his mother still loves him, well likes him, maybe.

Funny thing everyone who meets me, even machines, have this sudden and ingrained desire to abuse me. It think it might be all the beer milkshakes. Or Karma, I kinda deserve it.
Quote:

What, pray tell, are the floral versions of this nightmare?

You asked for it:
For Sean Young:
Hobbit: Dassa Ness , Princess of the Halflings
Not bad, she would've got teased at school with a name like that, but her father was a king, so anyone who dared would have had their heads chopped off.
Elven: Mioniel Friend-of-Men
Sounds like a euphamism for and elf who gets around a bit.
Dwarves: Sorka , Queen of Khazad-dûm
Well she was killed by Orks, but she did get to be a Queen first.
Human: Dwavia Butterbur
Sounds like a lass who tends to eat one two many Butter Bars...
Wizards: Uinen Kementári
Either this name has profound meaning, or this wizardess's parents got sensitive organs trapped in something while pronouncing her name for the first time.

For Sean:
Hobbit: Myngwen Oldbuck of Bywater
No comment.
Elven: Nélindë Friend-of-Men
Again with the 'loose' elf women.
Dwarf: Lellyra, Queen of Khazad-dûm
How many Queens does the bloody place need? Unless they mean the other kind of Queen...
Human: Dardon Butterbur
What happens when you say Pardon bettween mouthfuls of Butter Bar.
Wizards: Incánus Kindler
That just sounds deeply, deeply wrong.

I have a defective name. Suppose it fits me quite well really...
Quote:

Good luck and I hope everything is alright.
