So... have you ever had one of those moments where you're standing by a group of kids and they're talking about, you know, just one of those super fantastic geek movies and then one of the kids says, "Yeah that one character guy person was really cool." And of course you HAVE to interject and say, "Um yeah that's Thorin son of Thrane son of Thror." Then they all look at you like you crazy so you don't bother mentioning that you can write your name in Elvish. (I'm only using Lord of the Rings for an example because I just watched the extended version of The Two Towers...)
Anyway there is no shame in having some of those geeky moments! I am not a hard-core geek, myself, but I do share many of those moments with an always unsuspecting crowd. And so I would also like to make very clear that I am not, in fact, a geek. I am simply geektastic.

geek-n: 1. a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked. 2. a person who is so passionate about a given subject or subjects as to occasionally cause annoyance among others.

geektastic-adj: marked by fantastic geek qualities; a compliment of the highest regard.

Go here for more serious geekness!

Learn to write in Elvish!!

Elvish as in Lord of the Rings Elvish. It's really pretty fun, I'm working on memorizing the alphabet...

No I'm not going to learn to speak it, that's going too far, but I found this great webpage that will teach you everything you need to know about writing your name. If you have any confusion I can help you out!! Oh and the difference between the two "r"s and the two "s"s I don't think really matters, just which ever one looks better.

End
