Oh, I forgot. I also want to re-learn Quenya, since I've forgotten all of the bits that I learned back in high school. It's the high elven language created by Tolkien. Sindarin is the common, spoken elvish. The only languages that I'm interested in learning are either dead(I also study Latin) or fictional. Quenya is both. I already get enough grief for knowing bits of the Black Speech, though.
If I ever get transported to Middle Earth or ancient Rome, I will be prepared.
My old roommate is fluent in Sumerian. I am jealous.
EDIT: Also? No insult is quite as satisfying as swearing at someone in the Black Speech of Mordor. Compare "Fuck you, Jack!" to "Jack, u bagronk sha! Pushdug! Jack-glob búbhosh skai!" It is late and I probably didn't nail the usage of that as well as I would if I was more awake, but you get my point. The punctuation is also different when spoken aloud by Orcs. Sadly, I can't channel my inner Sauron rage at people since it is frowned upon in polite society. I can only do so in my head.

I wanna go to a Reniassance Fair while wearing normal clothes, but then come home wearing a robe, wizard hat, and carry a staff and sword.
I've always wanted to play some old-school RPG's (Tabletop/Pen and Paper) and I did for a while, but it was only once a week for about three months before I left, but I still want to give it another shot.

But what about the Pokemon Healthcare?the muffin man said:
If you live somewhere without free healthcare well, youre gonna get screwed over. You can possibly earn enough cash for the treatments as a trainer. You will be thrown on the streets with a half-dead animalthing. . . Its horrible to think about.
Oh well yes, that too. I've started dabbling with Champions Online, mind, but it's... what's the word... boring as hell.Sope said:
Hardcore raiding in a nutshell:Andy of Comix Inc said:
I fucking love Wow (playing it as I type this), but really, hardcore raiding is so much awfulness for, relatively, so little reward. Stopped doing it when I realised how much boring shit I was forced to do. After that I started playing casually, and good gods, it was like an entirely different game. An actual fun game too.
Okay, here's my thing; Nerf gun modding. I have a bunch of nerf guns I collected while I still had dicking-around income, and I often go by Goodwill to see what's available. So far, got three little "tag" guns and a Vulcan(!) without belt or ammo box but with batteries.
I've seen on the interwebs how some people make radical alterations to their nerfs. Hell, I already souped up the insides of my Maverick (my first gun!) and painted a black X over the logo with nail polish so you could tell it apart from regular ones. However, what I did to it was fairly simple, didn't involve dissolving glue or punching holes in the casing or anything like that.
I am tempted to take some kind of hands-on arts or mechanical course in college just so I could learn how to better work with plastic things. Or at least get a decent-paying job so I could afford lots of backups.

Get a tattoo of my ULTIMATE TEAMZ of Pokemon on my wrist, in pixel-form.
Unfortunately, my girlfriend stole this idea and I fear having such a tattoo will be a bad idea in case we break up. I really do want a piece of gaming that's important or associated with a memory on my body, but so far all I can remember is Kingdom Hearts...which is also a memory involving my current girlfriend.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

touche, I'd either move to Canada where they are awesome and give out free pokemon healthcare Or, start a underground group devoted to gaining free pokemon healthcare by any means necessary, project mayhem meets Team rocket and plasma. Just, far less pokemon stealing.Nikolaz72 said:
Those types of sports (yes they are sports) are fun.BoredDragon said:I have done this so I'm not sure if it counts:
Get those Nerf melee weapons and fight my friends. Who knew LARPing was so exhausting?
You know whats more fun than larping? http://www.sca.org/
They are fun. play them. Dungeons and Dragons is a good place to start (in my experiance.)BoredDragon said:
