Err, I was until you posted. >.> Making a Bloid can't be that long *has been refreshing for a few minutes* >.> You never noticed the 'bloids I made just a minute after yours? ... Silly me, I've already deleted that when I saw this. |

Kvothe? As in the main character from The Name of the Wind? Like yes. Like as in the main character of my second-favorite book, ever (and also my second-favorite main character ever, go figure). I posted a review thread about the book awhile back, but not many people have read the book. :/ xD I read that book around the time you made that thread. Probably a bit before, even. And yes, it was quite good. |

Making a Bloid can't be that long *has been refreshing for a few minutes* Well, my computer is slow, so it would take me around 3 minutes. XD Would theoretically take me 10 seconds if I were at home *is at work* And is 'Kvothe' pronounced 'Quote'? |

That depends on how you feel it could be best made up... within reason and subject to my approval, as well... <.<; xD .. I don't have anything to ask for. Can I hold the favour for future use? Or perhaps Shade might have something she'd want. How about leaving Shade out of this? This won't be exact, but okay. So, Diamond (the guy telling the story) was out at the Riekes Field Station for some sort of nature talk. As part of it, everyone there was supposed to go out and find something to tell a story about. So they did, and when it was Diamond's turn to tell a story, he decided to exaggerate it a little, because otherwise it would be too boring. The story goes something like this, and won't be nearly as good as he told it. 'We were wading through redwood duff that was up to our waists, when we got over a hill and saw a giant banana slug. It was ten feet long, and it had six foot long fangs. It was devouring all the redwood trees in its path. It turned to look at us, and I threw my backpack at it. It swallowed it in one gulp. We turned and ran.' .. I can't do it justice. xD Mostly because Diamond told it with excessive gesturing and tone of voice. That is awesome. xD .. it really is. Though, the thought of a slug with fangs more than half its body length is odd. It is. And I probably missed quite a few details and messed up on some of the ones that were there. But it's still awesome. |

And yes, it was quite good. I've already read it like three times and recommend it to everyone I can. <.<; I also sent a fanmail message to the author (Pat Rothfuss) via Facebook...he responded within 20 minutes... I was a giddy little fanboy. ...I was sad when he announced last week that it'd be until 2009 until The Wise Man's Fear makes it out... |

And I probably missed quite a few details and messed up on some of the ones that were there. But it's still awesome. It is. It has a slug. Of course it's awesome. Because slugs are just as awesome as fungi, after all. |

Sounds like me when I saw that my fangirl feedback for The Pirates of Coney Island got published in the sixth issue of the comic. XD |

Okay. I just thought you might like something. That is all. Nah. I get to talk to you. That's enough for me. Well, I find that it's still nice to give random gifts now and again. ^^ ..especially if they don't cost me much. Which is one thing I like about knowing some form of creative art. It is. It has a slug. Of course it's awesome. Because slugs are just as awesome as fungi, after all. I wonder if there are cases of slugs and fungi living symbiotically. |
