Just looking to carve out a little space to call my own and get my shit together. I like cats and video games and books and crafts. She/her if it matters.
Since I never did one...
Hard to know where to start; I'm in a bit of limbo space in real life. So have some random facts!
- In northern CA, have lived in CA most of my life
- Getting close to 40
- About to be divorced for a second time
- Have 4 cats
- Work full time
- In school part time (web development/publication)
- Enjoy reading fantasy/sci fi
- Playing FFXIV when I can
- Maybe getting back into archery
I don't post a lot, but I'm trying to change that!

@Altruest Good Boy Pats. Only dogs can exchange them for pets and skritches for good behavior.
Yes! That must be it. That prose reads more naturally. I was working with something like "hu 'ouyns 'ahgahyn".
There's a ton of play in the rest of it too, so further improvements would not be surprising. It's terrible writing; it's not clear how specifically the Tengwar are being used (the "mode") and there are tons of errors.
@Arioch1530 for what it's worth, here's how I would have written this message. Probably a mistake or two here too, but not nearly as many as the original I hope!
@Arioch1530 @Aaron This seems pretty close! I get “the child within *you once* again” (“y[u] ons[e]”).
@Arioch1530 There seem to be errors and inconsistencies, but here's a guess:
Dear Joyce,
May the vitality of Middle Earth remain always in your heart and each journey there awaken the child within who joins again to the joy and wonder of life.
Happy birthday.
Love,
Kathy
@Arioch1530 I tried to transcribe a bit, but the result is disappointing:

'y' is a palatalization marker and not a vowel. 'qu' is 'kw' and does not have a vowel unless explicitly added.
There were numerous mistakes (equivalent of putting the dot under the i, or writing p from the baseline up). I did the best I could.
Where's the Tolkien fans at?
Noticed my 1973 copy of The Hobbit has a message on the inside cover.
Can anyone translate?
"In theory, this is the ultimate product."
He showed a small animal with soft scales and wings. It purred.
"A dragon cat hybrid, which is also a book."
"A book? How do you read it?"
"You tell it. 'Boknir, open'."
The dragoncatbook hissed at him. "Shan't."
"In theory," he sighed.

I just switched my Gmail to the new look.

Rocking a look today. Not sure what look, but it’s being rocked.
However, I have reaffirmed that I hate straight leg pants. These will be moving to the back of the closet.

TIL There are mini truck garden contests in Japan
The “kei” trucks are barely larger than city cars. The goal is to build the most aesthetically pleasing garden in the truck bed
