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 was reading a post on an LJ community and someone mentioned a character's significance to Vita Sackville-West. I automatically inputted "Baggins".


Also, I saw my family a couple weeks ago. Fun was had by all; it was my cousin's wedding. My little cousin was there and proceeded to follow me around. A lot. After a while I kept trying to get her interested in other stuff. Her name's Nia. I kept nearly calling her Nienna, and then wanting to beg the latter's forgiveness for comparing her to the former.
