*chuckles* Sadly, I can't claim that as obsession. I use Sally as a nickname on all my boards for games and stuff. Mostly because no one seems to be able to spell my real name. Seriously, how hard can it be to spell Kayla? It's exactly like it sounds. Kay. La. That's all.

Anyway....to stay on topic and all that snazz....

I'm in a playwriting class and I just realized that the author of our book....his last name is Downs. It just made me laugh, because of course we all know where my mind went.

This paragraph in a piece of homework I did for my Fantasy Fiction Module at University...

Quote:

"When Ahâziah brought his people out of Lizarn, the Bears were troubled greatly. There was a leader among them named Rune the son of Bjarne, the son of Mære, and he sought to bring the Dinosaurs back to their homeland. But Ahâziah would not listen to him and wandered away East. Rune was saddened by their going, for the Bears were great friends to the Dinosaurs. So he took council with his friends and they journeyed through the wild lands of Lizarn, seeking the Stone of Tsuwriy'el, for it was greatly desired by the King of the Dinosaurs. But they found it not. They heard a rumour that the Dragons of the Drago Lands had taken it. So Rune set sail and went thither. After twelve Years, he returned, alone and did not speak of what had passed in the Drago Lands, except that he had seen the stone and he could not take it."

I do like these Downs references.

OH, MY!!!

A sign of addiction: When you have a folder in your computer, called "Barrow-downs", and it has 195 MB!!! And don't ask me what's inside it so that it's so big - I don't know even myself! The biggest files I can think of and I know they are there are Paper Telephone concepts. But still.

When you see a costume rental called Lavem and you find it amusing because it makes you think about Lalwendë and davem...
