I lost power Friday night and just got it back this morning.
Good to know everyone's alright and weathered the storm more or less.

Topic: The Hobbit
Subject: Good movie
I went to see the midnight showing the night it came out here.
Just going to warn, it doesn't follow the book, so don't go in expecting that or you'll be sorely disappointed.
Also if you're arachnophobic you should probably step out for popcorn or the restroom while they're in Mirkwood.
Really good movie though.

Topic: Character Obsessions
Subject: Character Obsessions
We all have our characters we love more than our own thumbs, be it the first Dwarven Warrior you made or the halfling thief/mage you've been playing since the dawn of time, or even that NPC you made and decided you liked so much you were going to make them a PC in your next game.
My question is what's the story behind these characters? What lengths have you gone to obsessing over every little detail about them? Go ahead and brag about them. <3
I tend to do this frequently but what sparked this thought was my most recent character obsession, which happened to be a drow character. (I can hear you booing, cut it out.)
His name is Tebdaer Suldaim'Roos and he's NOT a renegade Drow. He's played canon as they are described in the books, so that ultimately makes him an evil character. He's not without morals, but they're incredibly loose and he's a very freeing character to play because he's so unapologetic. He's a Dread Fang of Lolth (very cool Drow class, check it out if you're a fan of the race.)
I didn't realize I was obsessing over him until I spent THREE HOURS the other night thinking about a little detail about him. As a Drow male he lives in a matriarchal society, and like most young men he has had his moments of less than perfect behavior. I got to thinking that it would be very plausible that at some point a priestess took exception and carved the vows he took when he was inducted as a Dread Fang into his back. This made the wonder what sort of Vows those would be.
So I wrote some up.
And Translated them into Drowic language. The vocabulary was taken from This Page and a friend and I translated it using their scant grammar rules and Sindarin sentence structure rules. This took about two hours to do because there's so little information about the Drow language that is actually canon.
Basically we took this:
Leaving House and Goddess will lead to Death.
May my blade be guided (by Lolth is implied.)
I serve the will of Lolth.
Obedience is my duty.
Duty is my purpose.
Spider Queen, Test Me.
and turned it into this:
Elghinn zhah ael quellar lueth Quarval-sharess.
Xal usta velve mrigg
Rothrl zhah usstan quarthas
Quarthas zhah usstan dros'he
Orbb Valsharess, Zud'dar Ussa
Then we looked up to see if the drow had a written script. Turns out apparently they do. Info Here
So we turned that mass of gibberish into this:
So now I know what the scarification on his back would look like. That's the only reason I did it.
What's your character obsession story?
Edit: OMG Huge picture. Have to scale down.

It very strongly depends on what I'm writing, but I tend to listen to a lot of Depeche Mode when I'm writing. It's focus music for me and I can't even explain why.

This is to the tune of Where have all the Cowboys gone by Paula Cole
http://www.artistdirect.com/video/paula-cole-where-have-all-the-cowboys-gone/30864
Oh you're getting ready, with your armor big and heavy
Why don't we go and kill a Nightshade*
Take shelter from the dark scorge
The mage blast leaving us scorched
We should run and fight another day
I will steal some potions, if you'll distract the guard
Where is my Paladin (said: Pah-la-dain)
Where is my bardic song
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the innmates gone?
We should camp for the evening
Kick back and take it easy
Someone roll to find a us something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from attacking that huge Belker**
I wish I had the Brew Potion Feat
I will find a cleric, if you sell all the loot
I give up there's a few more verses but I'm not as great at this as Alacrity. I thought it was appropriate. XD
*Spellstitched undead creature, mentioned briefly in 3.5's Monster Manual II
** A huge type of air elemental found in 3.5's Monster Manual

Oh man I seem to live in that place lately. I have taken to getting up in the middle of the night and locking myself in the bathroom with my laptop for about thirty minutes just to have a few moments to work on a story I'm doing.
I don't know a real cure for that. D:

XD Maybe all of you guys should just come to my wedding instead of my family. Your costume ideas are way cooler.
I am going to come down the aisle to The Imperial March instead of the bridal chorus. I am REALLY hoping at least one person shows up dressed as something Star Wars related.

Topic: Costume Wedding!
Subject: Costume Wedding!
Alrighty, so I am getting married in August and on a whim (because you should make wedding decisions on whims) my fiance and I decided to have a costume wedding. I instantly decided that I wanted wings and decided on a phoenix. He's going as William Wallace, which could be the strangest fan fiction pairing I have ever heard of... anyway I have a long list of unimaginative guests that are begging me for simple costume ideas that fit out insanely broad theme of "Legendary Figures."
Now my lovely innmates, I call upon you who delves so deep into the legendary to assist me in coming up with costumes easy enough for some of my belovedly boring family. Any thoughts?

Oh look, there she is AGAIN...
Okay so just about the time my life gets in order it promptly upends itself. I dream someday of having a steady household and less chaotic life...
Anyway, my fiance's father has terminal lung cancer and lives in Alaska. I will NOT allow my fiance to lose him without ever getting a chance to say goodbye. So I got a second job to try to raise the money for the two of us to go see him. The good news is we now are in possession of two plane tickets to Alaska, the bad news is I haven't had a moment to myself in the last two months. I miss you guys so bad!
