I just went through it for old time's sake I'm taking the "walk to Rivendell" challenge Isengard here I come

I did not know the actual website existed for the first months I was active on the forum.

At school, we had a project in which we had to design a video game.
For mine, my first thought was of a LOTR parody that went something like this:

The LOTR Dance-Off

Scenario: You have been trapped by the evil side and they have decided to allow one of you to escape. This is decided by a dance-off for their amusement.

Contestants:
G-Wizz (the dance-floor wizard)
Leggy-lass (the beautiful female)
Argon (the noble air)
And last but not least, Boromir the Disco King (It was by this time that I realised that I would be posting on this thread)

Judges:
Sour-One
Sourer-Man
Mr G'lum

And then I realised that no-one in my school would get all of the references (A depressing thought really), so I changes my idea to something more serious.

When you see this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fea%27s_Muntjac while on a quest for a Barrow Downer and think that it is quite natural for that person to get species named for her...

After realising how much one has to do for work RL... and how many hours it would be advisable to sleep RL... one gets checking if anyone has posted to the RPG you're trying to boost forwards - or the WW-game you're into - and bye-bye the hours from sleep... (about five of them left right now for tomorrow...

)

The naturalist mentioned in that wikipedia article, Leonardo Fea, was born in Turin, Italy. Just thought I would point that out.

When you're typing a report at work regarding jewelry, and catch yourself automatically capitalising the word 'ring'.

I find myself capitalizing Day in today frequently.

Oh my goodness, do something for a change, man! That's crazy.

Although, on second thought, it's only 40 minutes until the deadline... But I remember being like that in my third or fourth game, it was crazy.

for the record it's my day off I'm watching movies and eating junkfood... the only difference would have been Wii instead of WW

I was signing Christmas cards today. I signed Sally instead of my real name. (The card was to a Downer, but it's a Downer I know rather well so it makes me giggle.) I'm going to go check the rest of them to make sure I didn't do the same thing on any of the cards for my "real" friends.

Also, someone IM'd me or something and said they had PMS. I totally thought she meant PMs at first, and was going to congratulate her.

That's awesome! One of my friends (not a Downer, but she knows about it) gave me a pillow for Christmas (She has wrapping paper issues, so I know what it is.) and she embroidered "Loslote" on it.

The other day I saw an advertisement on a bus that read "Need some more ME time?"... and I couldn't believe there was an ad about Middle-Earth.

Took me a few seconds to realise...
