@ellron: I found it on Behind the Name's random name generator. When I'm looking for a name for a character, I'll check off the languages I want names from (in this case, I'm guessing that it came either from "Norse myth" or "Ancient Germanic") and ask it to give me a first name, three middle names, and a random surname. Then I just mix and match from those options. I get a lot of repeat names, but I also get a good variety and (I think) a feel for what names might be common and which ones aren't. Also, that's about how I think it would be pronounced as well, so thanks. NightBlade: Thanks. I love how you two have such a completely different reaction from the people on the other site I asked that question on. (The one person who answered said it would be cruel to the reader because how do you pronounce that?) I have a fondness for names beginning in "Ae", particuarly "Aethel", though.

What's the Norse? AE is a French letter. Is it Norse as well?
Leilani: It did take me a little bit to come up with a pronunciation :P It can be disorienting to see what looks like a jumble of random letters. I had to take a minute to slow down my brain and just look at it and break it down. But I like names like that, too, so I might be biased, but I like it :D

@ellron: I think if it's squished together it's Norse and if it's not it's French? I really don't know; maybe French comes from ancient Germanic languages? (That's pretty likely, actually . . .) Well, thank you.

I love the Ae sound. Aelic is one of my characters and a real Gaelic name, I looove it.
By the way, the French originated from the Celts, from whence ae was also a letter/sound

That would make sense, since I also had "Ancient Gaelic" checked- I almost always have that one checked. xD

Well, I have a few Math questions.
If Rooster is Chicken plus Egg, how much is Egg?
If Hen Coop is Chicken times Chicken and a Chick of Chicken, how much is Hen Coop? (You'll need more information here... It's somewhere on the forum.)
If Hen Coop is Chicken times Chicken and a Chick of Chicken, and Hen House is Chicken times Hen Coop, how much is Hen House?
How much is Chicken times Chicken minus (Egg times Chicken) plus Chicken? (You'll need more information for this one as well. )
You need to answer in the correct Chickenese numbering system.
Good luck!
Once you're done, PM the answers. Don't spoil it for anyone else. And you can use Google as much as you like.

a couple months ago my sister's iphone 6 plus got stolen in mexico by a staff member of the hotel that they were staying in, and the other day she got a text (using her old phone for now) from a random number acting as an automated machine. claimed it had "located her silver 16GB iphone 6 plus at 3:08 GMT" and crap, then gave her a link to a website that turned out to be a phishing scam created to get our apple id info. today we finally got the guy to admit that his messages weren't automated and that he'd bought her iphone for some 10,000 pesos and wanted us to unlock it for him (we locked it through sprint after it was stolen). we said heck no why would we do that, and now he's saying he'll ship it to us if we give him 600usd. again we said heck no, ship us the phone and we'll give you 200usd.
hasn't agreed yet, but if he does we won't end up shipping him the money; after all, it's our phone and he bought it knowing that it was stolen - also he's a liar, 'cause after we gave him the offer his reply was, "i don't have money for shipping". what the crap lol you have 10,000 pesos to by an iphone 6 plus but you don't have money for shipping haha.
but if he doesn't take the offer it doesn't really affect us, my sister was already going to get a new phone anyway and the guy can't use her phone because it's locked. so -1 for stole-iphone-guy haha

Tell her to get a new Samsung! This things are sweet. So much better than apple (and also the only thing "newer" than an iPhone 6) My exbestfriend Josh got his phone and wallet stolen in Africa cuz he's an idiot and I was like "trollololll"

WookieeElf: Hehe, yep. NightBlade: I've got both the Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 4S. The Galaxy is pretty sweet and has superior battery life (the 4S dies pretty quickly). From what I've gathered, the iPhone is based on a simple user experience (in other words, a phone that you can just pick up and immediately be like, "Oh, this is easy!"), which right away means that it's not going to have a lot of customization etc. options available (unless you jailbreak it, which I decided to do with mine). On the other hand, Android is targeted at a more advanced audience, and gives you the freedom to mess around and such. I like them and use them both, but the Galaxy definitely wins the customization round. by the way, nice doodling XD

Ooh. That's awesome! I burned like five or six pages like 30 minutes ago. Strangely enough, it helped me feel like I could move on with life after burning it.

That reminds me...I caught a sword on fire the other day xD You have to look closely to see most of the fire, as it's blue

Mine was a couple of packets of letters to one person, probably 7 or 8, and a couple others to other people. I told you it helps Cool Nightblade. I lit my school skirt on fire...it burned spectacularly, sadly the photos are too big to upload here. I'll try resizing them.

Post by NightBlade on May 16, 2015 5:18:13 GMT
Letters to people you dislike?
Yeah, you have to look code to see the blue flames though
Niiice xD

Post by Idk323 on May 16, 2015 5:19:04 GMT
Heh. Depending on how it all works out in the next few days/weeks/months, I'll probably have a lot to burn.
XD It does. Thanks for the suggestion! I think I'll be doing this a lot more often from now on.

Post by Starsinger on May 16, 2015 5:23:18 GMT
Fair enough. But it is definitely therapeutic. You're welcome Nightblade, letters to my best friends mainly, I write letters that are intended to be burned when I am having trouble dealing with something and it really helps. Yeah, I saw the blue flames NightBlade I managed to resize them...which sadly has damaged the quality...the originals are very focused.

Yeah. Though when I grabbed the lighter, two of my sisters got suspicious. XD Clearly they don't trust me around fire.
I'm thinking next time I'll wait until I have a big stack of letters, and then burn them. It'll probably be more fun that way.

Ah, gotcha. Cool. I wish I had more letter pals
Well, I be off to dream now. Ttyl!

My family is all pyros, so it's fairly normal for us to be burning things...and I'm a matches girl Bye bye Nightblade! Sweet dreams.

Post by Idk323 on May 16, 2015 5:36:00 GMT
XD Only like, two of us have pyro like tendencies, so I try not to light anything on fire in front of too many people. And I love matches! I just don't have any since it's not something my mom buys.
