We love our blue buddies *pulls all the blue buddies into a cramped side hug *

*has never had blue punch* What flavor is that?

I thought of a nickname for you, Faith... Beloved! It's another way of saying "the Loved," and it's used in the New Testament, specifically, to refer to brothers and sisters of the faith in general. Maybe I'm going overboard, but I wanted to suggest my idea, because I think of it every time I read your username.

What are some of your favorite books, Faith? Do you have a favorite fantasy author/series?

Faiththeloved,

That's so cool how you typed the usernames in the colors you see them! *thinks that's just so awesome!*

~Calen

I found the chat! Also, the blue buddies sound awesome XD

Aw, I like that nickname Philadelphia.

And thanks Calenmiriel It was kind of interesting to do that.

Oh my favorite fantasy books... Uh Fablehaven is an awesome series, I love it. I also loved The Hobbit, it actually inspired my first Fantasy novel (which I haven't finished but I will because the plot is awesome) and I'm going to read the rest of The Lord of the Rings. I love old Fantasy books, I can't think of any titles right now but old Fantasy books that never were really popular. I love those I can only find them in libraries, though.

~Faith

Faithyluvs! *hugs* It's me, Elly! Love your blog, very good reason to half-leave the YWP. How's Olivia and Pony and Kid over there?

Yay! Beloved it is!

Oh, you should pray about applying to be a blue buddy. We always need more of them!

*wants to know more about this Hobbit-inspired story* Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring greatly inspired me. I take his approach to morals/religion/allegory in my fantasy works. I haven't finished reading the series yet, but I will! Who's your favorite character? I love Frodo and Sam.

I love Sam. For a variety of resons.

He says the most charming things! "That's hard, master Frodo!" Plus he's faithful and... a hobbit. I like hobbits best. They're down to earth.

No pun intended?

Um... no?

*chuckles *

Wow...

Aw, my favorite character. I've only read The Hobbit at this point in time so I can't really say I do love... Oh wow I'm so brain dead right now. All I can say is that I love the wizard that's name starts with a G (Gandolfo? Gandi? Gandolf! Woo did I get that right? I should sleep more XD ) And also the hobbit... Oh what is his name? I can't remember Sorry, I really need to re-read that book and the rest of the books.

Also, hehe to the down to earth hobbits.

~Faith

Gandalf is the wizard, so you were close. And the main hobbit in The Hobbit is Bilbo Baggins.

*Grins* I like Sam too but Bilbo is so amusing! I love all the little songs he makes up hehe. Riddles in the Dark is my favourite chapter in The Hobbit.

What? Don't mock Philli! 'Tis not nice! Hobbits are realistic and homey. Elves drive me crazy sometimes. (Which makes you wonder why I'm borrowing their essence for my writer-identity - I use "elfinpen" where "Aubrey Hansen" doesn't work, since "Aubrey" means something like "ruler of the elves"...)

Beloved, I haven't read the Hobbit yet, but I know the general plot since it was summarized in LotR. I haven't finished the trilogy yet, but I plan to.

What? *gasp * Mock Philli? Who would be brazen enough to mock Philli, I ask you?

Wai- wai- wai- wait: Who's mocking who?

*chuckles * Someone should revoke my fun card.

No one would want to do that, my dear Airi.

Oh well, then I can't be held accountable for impulsive fun.

Eh heh... so for all this, I still don't know what I said that was so amusing.

I think it was this:



Hobbits, being short, are naturally down (low) to (the) earth.

That was a stretch, people.

Thanks, Leandra.

No, it wasn't. Frodo Baggins was only 3 foot 6 inches.

I like Strider or Boromir the best.

You said they were down to earth, and I said no pun intended, right? From there, the joke continued. Until they tried to revoke my fun card after I mocked you about being mocked. *smiles brightly *

Well, if you all want to keep on being ridiculous, be my guest. Your resident mod will just stand by and watch with a *shakes head* expression...

I just thought it was because they lived in holes.

*is mortified at the green people's density *

The blue people got it.

*Giggles at Philli*

I like Strider!

I prefer my interpretation.

Well of course you would.

*is not going to comment, is not going to comment, is not going to comment...*

A purple person got it. You all are so funny!

Philli is going to burst by not commenting.

She might not be the only one.

*seconds that *

eru

*laughs* Well, I must say you've all proved to Faithy that we're half crazy.

I have done nothing of the sort, my dear.

Get over it, kiddos.

No, we've proved we are completely and incurably crazy. We've either scared her off or highly recommend the forum to her, depending on how crazy she is

eru

Oh I would say we highly recommended the forum to her.

Of course.

eru

Nah, I'm over it now. I was a bit ticked, in a good-natured fashion, at the mockery, but I couldn't think of a suitably ticked-but-good-natured comeback, so I let it go, and now I'm fine.

Le gaspeth! You have changed thy name - be this permanent?

eru

Philadelphia! (has maybe used your full name twice, so you better listen good!) What on earth have you done? You change your name right back, or I will be forced to use unorthodox tactics to get my way!

Really though, why the change?

*was wondering when Airianna would notice* Why, Airianna, I changed it because I was deathly curious. I wanted to know what nasty and horrible things you would do to me if I had the nerve.

Actually, while I love Philadelphia (don't get me wrong), I am berating myself for getting yet another nickname! Let's just say I've had a lot of "incidents" lately with mixed up nicknames...



Melody told me to make my username Leah back when I joined, and I regret not listening to her. (She's over here telling me "I told you so!")

Now the real question is - why am I not smart enough to just change it to my pen name, Aubrey Hansen, and be done with it?

*evil eye twitch *

That is an idea, Philly. *wishes she chose a pen name for an identity instead of getting hooked on "BushMaid"*

I think I'll probably use my real name... When I am published.
