Dunc> I'm sure other forums have had that game first... you shouldn't be surprised that it's all ponies with me, as that's about the only other forum I've ever connected with.

But I gotta tell you, their fandom is totally worth it.

Shaiya> Hmmm... well Renee IS delivering me cookies... :V

Wingless - Alexander because my sister took Adam 15 years ago with her son. Robert for my hubby's side of the family. ((My Andrew (hubs) would be shocked if I answered b/c of Xanatos' son. /snicker)) I like Alexander though. Sounds very regal. :P

Renee: *hugs* Congratulations from me too. Alexander Robert. Hmm, Any particular reason for the name? Garg reference perhaps? OUR own Chatroom Robert might just take credit for inspiring the middle name. We'll never hear the end of it now. ^_~
You look after yourself now.

Renee> *hugs* Congrats! Glad to hear that you and your new minion are doing fine!

B!> Yesh, why am I not surprised that it's got something to do with ponies. It's contagious I tell you!

Shaiya> Well at least there's tons of fanfiction out there.

Thanks for the explanation, L#2 and Wingless. Now I just have to resist the urge to try and buy that domain. *evil laugh*

Arno> *lol* Well my belief system about elves is partly based on Keebler commercials, so it might not be technically accurate.

Renee> Yee! Congrats! XD Sounds so cute... :3

L#2> I'd like very much if some fans (who are more talented than me at drawing) would take up the cause and produce some gargoyles webcomics to continue on the storyline... yay, my special dream world... ^^;

Spike> It's entirely normal to feel like that when times of high stress, fear, and relief mingle. Usually it's just our brains confusing the various stress & relief signals. (If, of course, the next time you want to, say, call out of work, a crazy tornado happens, well, I'll just make very, very sure to never get on your bad side. ;) Seriously, though, I'm very glad to hear your folks- and you- are both safe. Sounds like they did the smart thing by staying home this time.

...Incidentally, if humans could wish such things into (or out of) existence, New England here would NEVER HAVE ICESTORMS. *scowls and shakes fist* What a great superpower- though it'd wreak havok on the precious ecosystem!

Random sharing, unrelated to anything but icestorms: I used to have an Icestorm Brooklyn. :)

Hello all. Arno is right, I did manage to create a healthy half-elf with my mate. Alexander Robert was born May 14th at 11 PM. Other than being my only pre-midnight minion, he weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. He's doing fine and we were released from the hospital Thursday morning. He's been sleeping between three and four hours durning the night, so I don't feel too sleep deprived at the moment. Our toddler elf thinks Alex is great, so long as mommy's not holding him. /sigh. Half-elf has a full head of brown hair amd those baby non-descript blue-ish eyes.

Sorry if I space in and out for the next couple of months... I figure that's how long I'll need to get out of baby brain stage. :)

Arno> Given the fact that elves tend to be vegetarian while werewolves certainly aren't and dragons eat whatevery they want... well maybe it might be simplest if the vampire part would be dominant ;)

Spike> In the kindest possible way: don't be silly. You didn't wish for a tornado. You wished your parents would stay home. We don't preface our spoken or unspoken desires with 'Unless it brings great harm to my fellow human beings...' because that is so obvious as to be implicit. Now, if you were the kind of person who actually -would- need to make such a distinction, -then- you can start feeling bad about yourself. :)

Our wishes are what they are, not what the world makes of them, right?

Duncan> Or, in the case of Renee, a half-elf, half werewolf-dragon-vampire. I wonder how difficult it is to feed it. ;)

Shaiya> Elves are made out of bread? ... Don't tell Beedoo!. And keep them away from butter. ;)

Zoe> Kessalia was saying that if we all donate money, YOU could eat at Odd Sight's place in our stead or something. Ambassador Zoe. ;)

*sighs*

I feel just terrible.

Monday I was doing my usual pre-parent visit panic of not getting everything done in time, dreading their arrival, and wishing they'd just stay at home and then.... the tornado in Moore, Oklahoma hit.

My family is okay, they were well out of the way. But the tornado went across their travel routes and the highway has been closed down due to the debris. Since more storms are expected today in Texas, my parents have decided to stay home. I'm both relieved and horrified. I feel like I wished this terrible thing into being but that's ridiculous. There's no controlling where and when a tornado can hit.

But I still feel terrible.

Shaiya - The Phoenix Gate was supposed to take you to random gargoyles related websites. Likely some in the Gate`s database have expired.
