Belated, I can believe, as I lack a calender and am genetically predisposed to not know what day it is. Ignorance of the metric system, such as relating cm to inches, ("It'll never catch on...tis only a fad."), that too may be true. But *writing* a letter...now that surely is the stuff of dreams, not that I cannot 'write,' but that my handwriting is not so much 'atrocious' but more 'very specific to the writer's needs.'

Today I had a dream about the Tears of Mirrormere RPG, it was so that Groin wrote a post about some Dwarves in Erebor, one of them was Thorin Oakenshield, discussing the fact that Moria has apparently been overrun. Thorin actually said that "it has been a year since the Orcs breached the gates of Moria", and I thought "ah, now I see, so the plan was to actually leave the situation now and move one year further... so I guess now Thorin and the other Dwarves are coming to help, while the rest of the Dwarves in Moria are driven further and further into Khazad-Dum? But I wonder, is this canonical? In the sense that - should not Frár, Lóni and Náli have died already during the first attack of the Orcs - you surely can't tell me the Dwarves are holding the Bridge for the whole year!"

Well, an interesting dream it was...

Last night I had a very strange BD dream, well two dreams really.
The first one was rather uneventful, I had just gone onto this website and it said the only two people that weren't members were Hookbill and Lommy.
In the second dream, I was hired to make cardboard cut-outs of BDers. I made a cut-out of Rune, Volo, and Legate. I had to apologise to Rune, in person, because his wasn't finished. Although when I walked over to get it out of a train car, it was. Apparently it was finished by Laurinque...

Strange dreams....

I had an interesting dream last night. I dreamt that my Latin teacher gave us an assignment and it was to design a unique Werewolf game. It included all the rules to how the game should work and such, since people in my class wouldn't know how it worked. When I saw the assignment I was shocked and approached him, figuring he had to be a Downer. He ended up being Nilp. Obviously not the real Nilp, since he is far younger then my teacher...perhaps one of his "other" personalities ran off to Canada...

The other night I had a dream that Kath and I ran into each other. I have no idea where I was, although the latter part of that dream I was in Brazil so it may have been we were both down there. Anyway I introduced Kath as 'Kath' to my wife and kids. We were just shaking hands and then my dream shifted and Kath was no longer there.

I had a dream about Hook and Oddwen a couple nights ago. They came over to my house, and while I was trying to entertain them, my mum told me to a take a shower, I was not pleased. Of course, when this was happening, I was trying to pawn my little brother's TARDIS t shirt off on Hookbill because he likes Doctor Who. (Well, it think that 'like' is an understatement) Athought, for some reason, I don't think my little brothers clothing would fit Hookbill.
Don't know what happened to Oddwen though...
