@reepnorp: ARRRGH!! I hope it's not to late!! Here it goes:

WISHLIST (Pearl Jam)

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...I wish...I wish...I wish...
I guess it never stops

 

Ah, today is a great day. Not only I did great on my exams, but I also won a local Magic the Gathering tournament, with a cash price of 100 euros! yeeeeha!

 

I have a pile of marking about 5 feet high, but I just can't get to it -- no energy!

 

WTH does otaku mean?

(Tobias, quit downloading hentai! You know what Mom said about that! )

My Dad just got back from his visit to Japan -- he loved it, but he wouldn't eat any of the food! LOL!

 

I just love this song!!!! Especially when drunk and in a pub!

The Pogues - The Body of an American

The cadillac stood by the house
And the yanks they were within
And the tinker boys they hissed advice
'Hot-wire her with a pin'
Then we turned and shook as we had a look
In the room where the dead man lay
So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip
To the shores where his father's lay

Fifteen minutes later
We had our first taste of whiskey
There was uncles giving lectures
On ancient Irish history
The men all started telling jokes
And the women they got frisky
BY five o'clock in the evening Every bastard there was pisky

Fare thee well going away
There's nothing left to say
Farewell to New York City boys
To Boston and PA
He took them out
With a well-aimed clout
He was often heard to say
I'm a free born man of the USA

He fought the champ in Pittsburgh
And he slashed him to the ground
He took on Tiny Tartanella
And it only went one round
He never had no time for reds
For drink or dice or whores
But he never threw a fight
When the fight was right
So they sent him to the war

Fare the well gone away
There's nothing left to say
With a slante Joe and Erin go
My love's in Amerikay
They're calling out the rosary
Spanish wine from far away
I'm a free born man of the USA

This morning on the harbour
When I said goodbye to you
I remember how I swore
That I'd come back to you one day
And as the sunset came to meet
The evening on the hill
I told you I'd always love you
I always did and I always will

Fare thee well gone away
There's nothing left to say
'cept to say adieu
To your eyes as blue
As the water in the bay
And to big Jim Dwyer
The man of wire
Who was often heard to say
I'm a free born man of the USA

 

*babbles randomly*
I'm pissed and bored, can anyone give me an URL for a NwN character editor?

 

I wouldn't either

 

Which one of these following sentences is correct?

"The Elf walked into the building."

"The elf walked into the building."

---

Which one of these following sentences is correct?

"Bob had an Elven (or whatever adjective of "Elf/elf") sword."

"Bob had an elven sword."

Thanks in advance.

 

For the elf/Elf question I would have to say that elf would be appropriate as an elf is a fantasy species and you would not capitalize human, ape, dog etc.

In terms of Elven/elven, I have always seen it as capitalized but I must confess ignorance as to whether or not this is technically correct.

 

I always put races in capitals.

Bad day - Friday the Thirteenth.

At our school it goes from years 8 to 13. The new year eights had an intro day today. And they kept staring at me and I feel really bad now. They kept just stopping and staring and in biology we did mutations. So I felt good then.

They way people stare you'd think they'd never seen someone on crutches. It's unfair. All I want is to be normal - but even that small thing is denied to me. I get stuck with disabilities, society and phobias I have to face almost every day.

Life sucks major.

 

When it means a species, like human or cat or cow or other bottlenose dolphin it's elf, lowercase.

When it means a nation, it's capitalised. Whether this applies to elves is a different thing, but Ancient Greeks are written Ancient Greeks although there's no particular reason to capitalise 'ancient'. Neither did they technically form a single nation... It's a bit like that with elves, I think.

You could also capitalise humans, dwarves, elves etc to show that they're different tribes, not only species. Hope this helps.

 

I am baaack!

Through seashore and shopping trips to sweden and wildlife parks UI have returned to torment you! No longer computer bans! Weee!

Also, tomorrow I shall meet a group of people that actuallyy might include me into their D&D group.... go me!

And from my e-mail:

At Heathrow Airport today, an individual, later
discovered to be a public
school teacher, was arrested trying to board a
flight while in possession
of a compass, a protractor, and a graphical
calculator.

Authorities believe he is a member of the notorious
Al-Gebra movement.

He is being charged with carrying weapons of math
instruction.



From the visit to the sea shore I think I learned why Elves long for the sea... Next thing to learn by heart, Legolas' song for the Sea.

 

1 exam left yay! And i now have a £5 an hour part time job typing wooooooop yay summmer sooooooon

 

Ladies, gentlemen, and Shralp...

I bring to you the eigth wonder of the world...

The Elephant Song


(not to be confused with the song from The Elephant Show)

 

I was browing through a drow dictionary today, and I realized something funny:

There is a drow word for "darkness". Drow see in the dark. That is funny.

There is only one drow word for "spider". Drow worship spiders. Eskimos have dozens of words for "snow". That is funny.

"Yorn" means Lloth's servants. "Elamshin" means Lloth's will. There is no word for "Lloth" (at least in the dictionary). That is funny.

There is a drow word for "dragon". There is no drow word for "dwarf" or "drow." That is funny.

 

@ The Soul Forever Seeking, that is crazily insanse (hmm do they cancel each other out?).

 

Oaz:

Lolth - is either Lolth or Quarval-sharess
Dwarf - Hargluk, remember what Viconia refers to Korgan as?
Drow - Ilythiiri

And as to spiders they have special names to different types.
