On Elves

This'll be quick, I promise. The person who this is directed to knows who they are, no names mentioned ^^ Elves, like fairies, are what you make on them. I think the only two really universally agreed on points are the ears and the immortality. As such, your version of an elf is a as valid as mine is as valid as Peter Jackson's. It's like fairies, as I said before. You have a million and one different concepts of a fairy, from Tinkerbell, to Shakespeare's Oberon and Titania, to Irish fairies, who have unpronouncable names and steal babies and curse cows. Elves are the same. So you really can't say anyone's concept of an elf is wrong, and neither can I. I can merely say it doesn't agree with my concept of an elf. Okay, Okay, I'm done ranting now...On to happier subjects!

First and foremost, happy birthday Ryoma Echizen (or Human!Hiei, if you wish) ! This is the first of about three of my favorite charecters' birthdays this week ^^ I have also become addicted to Final Fantasy 7, care of Link. You people are going to have to put up with a lot of my ramblings, as it's a three disk game, and three and a half hours in, I don't think I'm even half-way through the first disk. Sephiroth is very very pretty, but most definatly crazy. And an amphibian molester...go on, I dare you ask what that's about. Oh, and it seems I've missed another birthday! Happy birthday, Akira Ijyuin! *glomps everyone's favorite mini-chef* Oh, all LotR fans should see this. Second post down. I'll dig up a link for part one later ^^ It's very funny. And anyone who likes Haldir should go here...poor elf...he kinda got impaled... BTW, very nice, Marion! Now I just need to whip out my copy of Return of the King and figure out exactly how you pronounce that. Am I the only one who doesn't change the name of their blog every two months or so? Ah well...happy Christmas Eve, all!
