I dreamt last night that I was in some moot (surprise! ), with Legate, the Finns, and some others who I can't recall. Legate was "modding" this Tolkien trivia game that had pictures as clues. One of the pictures was a mountain in blue and white colours, drawn in a very Tolkien style (I thought the Prof made it himself), and it said "tallest mountain". I shouted out "Everest!", but, of course, the answer was Taniquetil. Except that when Legate pronounced the word, it sounded like TanikvEtil, and I started discussing different pronunciations with him.

Um... yeah... how else should I pronounce it?




And, I wonder what does it tell about my level of Tolkien-obsession when, upon imagining a situation when somebody is supposed to name the highest mountain and says "Everest" instead of "Taniquetil", I'm thinking "huh, what an embarassing situation... how could somebody even say that?"

Wait... you're saying I actually dreamed it the way you say it?

I say a lot of things wrong, with the stress in the wrong place, so maybe that's actually right. But I say it TanIkwetil.

Ah, you mean the stress. Well, in that case I think in fact I pronounce it TAnikwetil.

I've had a few BD dreams of late, so I will share them here. On this thread. Right now. You're welcome. Thank you. No problem. It was nothing. Don't mention it.

During NewFinland Moot I had a dream that I was very sick and so I wanted to go to the hospital, but Aganzir (whose house I was in) wouldn't let me know where the hospital was because she said I was mean to her. I asked Lommy (who also lived there) but she didn't know where it was. So I was stuck being sick.

When I returned from Finland I had a dream where I was still there and Lommy and A Little Green were preparing a birthday party for someone and were expecting me to get a present, but because I didn't know who it was for I didn't know what to get so I bought a tree - which turned out to be an ent, of course. A Little Green thought it was nice but Lommy said it was terrible and tried to burn it. It was very confusing.

And earlier today I wasn't feeling too well and had a short sleep wherein I dreamed I was in Nogrod's house and discovered that he and Greenie were planning to send Aganzir to New Zealand so she could replace Fili in the movies. But this would involve kidnapping her and putting her in a box, so ALG and I had to find a box that was big enough. I don't think we succeeded.

Your subconscious is is clearly lying to you. Agan wouldn't need to be forced in a box to be a dwarf. She would go do it willingly!

No doubt! Though we might have to get Dean O'Gorman to replace Agan in Finland, though. Nobody will notice!!

You know me too well, love.

I had a dream I received a vast number of rep points overnight and got an email saying 'Congratulations! You are now a Guest of Galadriel in Lórien!'
