Well, I always justified it as a flute is as much a part of a flutist's life as a sword is a part of a warrior's life. I would so name a sword if I had one. All the great ones had names: Excalibur, Glamdring, Narsil/Anduril, well, you get the point.

I totally agree with that. Though I wouldn't know what to name half of anything, as it'd all probably come out as "bob". That's how terrible I am.

See I named mine because all through my childhood, my mom would name just about anything. We've had multiple houseplants named Phred, and we have a tree in our backyard named Mortimer. It's just supposed to give a little life into it.
Actually, Phred is sort of our default name for things. XD Just like Bob is for you.

I think my fav name was "Ephraim Excelsior." He's a fake mouse who's the semi-official mascot of my workshop.

....Pipe Organ, have you ever read a webcomic called "Zap in Space"? There's a character in there named Efram, and the spaceship is named the Excelsior. In fact, Efram is the former captian of the Excelsior. O.o

Wow. I'll definitely have to look into that one. I wish I could get my BF to check it out, but our on again/off again relationship is off again. That's just plain weird, though. I'll have to check it out tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

Yeah, that was kinda creepy. You should check it out; it's a pretty good series. The art starts off kind of rough, but turns really good in the more recent pages.
Aw, it's off again? My parents did the on-again, off again thing for ten years before they finally got married. It was really annoying. XD *bricked*

I kind of have doubts it'll ever get that far. He's quite a bit older than me, and we both have problematic histories. Neither of us really seems to want a real relationship, and I wonder if that's part of the problem. I'm not planning on moving on, yet, though. It's hard, but even when we're off again, I still love him sooo much. Well, I'm going to call it a night. See you around the forum tomorrow.

Ugh I want to spend time reading this stuff but then I'd be doing it in all my spare time! That I just cannot afford to do.
Odd... I don't actually know.. anything about my parents history. Hmm they've never told me much and I've never asked, kind of strange now that I think about it.

Yeah, I've actually squandered entire weekends reading webcomic archives. ^^; Hey, I just realized, I don't think I put a link to Zap in the links page. I'll have to fix that.
I was there to witness my parents' mishaps. They got married when I was 11. XD

That last statement confused me. I had to do a double-take on that.
I still need to make a set time to throw out the Internet for a few hours once in a while, I still haven't done it and I'm going to cinder block myself if I don't. *takes out yellow cable and hides it*. See, I just put it right back in. I need help.
I'll take a look at Zap too, but I always feel so lame discovering a new comic to look at, and looking at four hundred thousand pages to get to the front page.

Yeah, it's a little odd...I was the maid of honor at my own parents' wedding, if that clarifies anything.
Sounds like you really DO need to take the internet out, or else have someone else do it for you. *reaches over, unplugs the cable, and feeds it to Pipe Organ's dog*
*lol* Venom, you don't have to do that! That's what the archives and "first" button are for. XD

*dog happily gobbles up cable and looks around for more* Anyone else need to be taken off the internet temporarily?
I think its awesome that things worked out like that for you and your parents. And in a way, how cool is that? Your mother ends up being one of your closest friends, that would be so cool to actually be there for her like that!

Yes, that's exactly what I need to happen.
That would be pretty cool! Or strange! I don't know which, but thinking about it makes me think the latter. So, how'd the wedding go?
And um.... d'oh. Poofiemus, you're fired.
