I'd want to memorize more Elvish and learn to write in Elvish.
I wanted to for a long time, then I fell in love with hobbits. I do know someone who gave me a piece of paper with my name in elvish text. (Not it's phonetic translation, like here on the Downs) I think I still have it somewhere...

I've remembered another...singing Hobbit drinking songs whilst walking through the grocery store...(wearing Hobbit cloak). And I once burned my feet walking barefoot across hot asphalt. Blisters on the bottom of your feet is not fun! I could barely walk at all the next day.

Narya Crazy things.

I write in Tengwar. Beleriandic, Sindarin, Quenya modes...you name it. Except Rúmilian.

It's become so much of a habit that I'm scared - and secretly thrilled - of what would happen if I ever wrote in Tengwar on tests.

But no, I can't speak Eldarin - Quenya or Sindarin - despite language lessons. And I haven't finished my First Age Noldorin garment. Nor have I even begun.

Oh, yeah - and I've deluded myself into thinking that I'm some silly son of Finrod.

Well if you did learn old Entish which would be a fine thing indeed you couldn't really say anything unless it took a long time to say, then again that would make what you said far more important I wager.

I would love to learn how to write in Tengwar, especially my name for starters, I did plan on doing it but it sort of went to the backburner. *Sigh*

Thanks very much InklingElf. What did you mean by a sharpie I looked it up because I didn't know, this is what I found.


1. Sharp"ie\, n. (Naut.) A long, sharp, flat-bottomed boat, with one or two masts carrying a triangular sail. They are often called Fair Haven sharpies, after the place on the coast of Connecticut where they originated. [Local, U.S.]

2. 1: an alert and energetic person [syn: eager beaver, busy bee, live wire, sharpy] 2: a person who swindles you by means of deception or fraud [syn: swindler, chiseller, chiseler, gouger, scammer, grifter, sharper, sharpy] 3: a long narrow shallow-draft boat with a flat bottom and a triangular sail; formerly used along the northern Atlantic coast of the United States.

Did you use a boat to write on me? How in earth did you lift it?

Or am I just being being silly and its some name of a marker that I havn't heard of or don't recall.
