Let's Try This Again....

[dawn_felagund]

Okay, I had another blond moment. Apparently, I did the meme that Rhapsy tagged me for wrong. That's what you get for not reading the instructions before posting, I guess! Anyway, the purpose of the meme was to write five complete lies and one true fact. Then folks are supposed to guess which is true.

So let's try this again....
1. I much prefer Lord of the Rings to The Silmarillion, both as a story and as fodder for my own writing.
2. I have won awards for miniatures painting.
3. I am quite a competent ice skater.
4. I am trying to talk Bobby into naming our first child "Maedhros."
5. My only pet is a stuffed unicorn called "Maeglin."
6. My laptop computer has recently decided that he prefers to be addressed as "Rumil, Lord of Tirion."

As for tagging, the tags still stand because I'm too tired to think up five more people to tag who haven't already done this. If you want to do it, consider yourself tagged.

I'll post the answer...sometime.

I'm going to close my eyes and do "eeny meeny miney mo" between the two I'm least positive are false...

#2?

[dawn_felagund]

*applauds* Good work! I do indeed have a sordid, geeky past of painting for many hours each day and pissing off the other nerds by kicking their asses in competitions. ;)

[ford-of-bruinen.livejournal.com]

my guess is that the skating one, number 3 =, is the one that is true :)

[dawn_felagund]

You're very close. I am a competent rollerskater but am useless on ice. Yes, I know, I was tricksey on that one! :)

#2 was the true fact. I have twice won miniatures-painting competitions, nothing major, but it sure ticked off a few nerds, getting beaten by a girl!

[nienna-weeper.livejournal.com]

Oh, # 6 just must be true.

You are so funny, girl!

[dawn_felagund]

#6 is so close too! My laptop is actually named "Pengolodh' and inists lately on being addressed as "Pengolodh, Lord of Gondolin." I am trying to talk Bobby into naming his new laptop "Rumil, Lord of Tirion," but no dice so far!

#2 is the true fact. I used to be a rabid miniatures' painter; I still enjoy it but have trouble finding the time now that I live on my own and have to clean my own bathroom. ;)

ROFLMFAO!!! #3 is true! Lucky you, you got to do these all over again!

[dawn_felagund]

Eek! Actually #2 is true! I am good on wheels but not on ice. And I have been known to annoy a few nerds by winning competitions that meant very little to me but on which their entire self-esteem seemed to hinge. >;^]] Evol? Yes, precious....

Haven't you actually mentioned #2 in this LJ?

[dawn_felagund]

Okay, so you get the prize for not only getting the answer correct but for remembering that, yes, I have mentioned it here before. Actually, I think that they all have been mentioned here before, though some only in comments (like the fact that I call my laptop "Pengolodh.")

[(Anonymous)]

Sweet, indeed. I see my grade school reading comprehension classes have paid off at last!

[tarion-anarore.livejournal.com]

It's #2 isn't it?

Although I suppose it could technically be #6 if your computer is anything like mine. I wouldn't be surprised if my computer recently decided it wanted to be addressed as "Rumil, Lord of Tirion".

And, as much as I love Mae, I really hope it's not #4! (Except you don't want kids. But I could see this conversation happening in silliness!)

[dawn_felagund]

Yes! It is #2! :)

I actually have named by laptop "Pengolodh." And he has recently decided that he prefers "Pengolodh, Lord of Gondolin." Snooty thing.

As for #4, I am always trying to convince Bobby to allow me to give things Elvish names. One day, we hope to have a boat, and I really, really, really want to call it "Vingilote." He remains reluctant, however. :^P

[tarion-anarore.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! *feels accomplished*

I still wouldn't be surprised if your computer changed its mind and wanted to be Rumil. Maybe it's having an identity crisis?

And children and things are quite different! (Well not always...anyways, that's entirely beside the point) Imagine the mispronunciations the kid would have to endure!!

Kindergarden teacher: "M-...May-...Do you go by your middle name?"
Dawn's kid Maedhros: "My middle name is Maedhros. My first name is Nelyafinwe."
Kindergarden teacher: *faint*

And I think Vingilote is a fine name for a boat! :)

[ann-arien.livejournal.com]

I say that #2 is true. And I would smack your computer for good measure, if it wanted to be called "Rumil, Lord of Tirion" (In fact, I'd probably have to get in line, behind a lot of Finwians, to do this).

If you and Bobby have a kid and call him Maedhros, I'll have one too and name him Anarion. We'll even have the naming celebration together. He, he... what say you?

[dawn_felagund]

#2 is correct!

My laptop is actually named "Pengolodh" and he likes to be called "Pengolodh, Lord of Gondolin." Actually, insists on being called "Pengolodh, Lord of Gondolin" is more like it!

We'll even have the naming celebration together. He, he... what say you?

I think that's a great idea! An Essecarme! And I'm willing to go all out for this too, to host it in the coldest ice palaces of Hell and release a couple dozen flying pigs. >;^D

I have to say that 6 sounds very funny :) Sounds like your laptop demands to be adressed properly before it deems to be in the mood to do something for you...

Lap top (veing started up): Yes Dawn?
Dawn: I want to write, I have a great idea and... why aren't you proceeding?
Lap top: well if you adress me correctly
Dawn: aw come on! You are just a lap top!
Lap top is offended and freezes the login screen
Dawn: okay, can I please work with you, Lord Rumil of Tirion?

I am going with nr 3. That is what my d6 says ;)

[dawn_felagund]

If you really used a d6, then you are officially my hero! :^D

(I remember once chatting with Isil online and she was tossing around four plotbunnies, and I helped her pick by rolling a d4. Bobby made fun of me for that.... :^P [Like he isn't in my D&D league!])

My laptop actually insists on being addressed as "Pengolodh, Lord of Gondolin." I am trying to get Bobby to name his new one "Rumil, Lord of Tirion," but no luck, so far....

[aramel-calawen.livejournal.com]

Hmm... #3, considering.

[dawn_felagund]

Oh, so close! Yes, I was tricksey on this one, precious; it's rollerskating at which I'm competent. ;) I leave the ice to my husband; he's an ice hockey player.
