For some reason that reminded me first of Elempi, and then A Little Green a split second after. Maybe it's how the words were written...

I was closing some papers I'd been working on, and my Office asked me if I wanted to save my work since the document had been modified.

I read it as modfired.

Sadly, anything modfired cannot be saved.

AAAGH! I realised my obsession has reached odd heights today...

Watching some random quiz show on television I heard a few questions as I did other things (namely reading), one of them was; What is the traditional state of an undead human said to bring horror and dread.
I, of course, said "Barrow Wight!" right away. *shakes head*

Moreover, I saw a car with "BWH" in the registration plate and thought "It's The Barrow Wight Himself's car!"

I still think Artemis Fowl is a mixture of Anguirel, tgwbs, and - this time - Gwathagor.

The word "makaaberi" (Finnish for "macabre") makes me immediately think of McCaber. I think associating the English word is quite understandable as it sounds the same, but that Finnish one isn't that close to McCaber...

I just had an English exam and one of the sentences I had to translate was:
"Do you believe that journalists cook up exaggerated stories in order to sell more newspapers?"
For some reason, I was reminded of something.

*flees*

Today, one of my classmates showed me something on his notebook in school, and while he was doing that, he was connected to the internet and has his icq (messenger) on; and during that time several contacts of his appeared online and at these times always a pop-up window appeared, saying "X is online". One of his friends, whose nick was Lenny, even appeared twice (he probably was offline meanwhile). And both times, I was horribly startled when I saw that, and I twitched - because both times I read it as "Lommy"
