aggienaut TODAYS PUBLIC ENTRY - I mean not to imply there was any other. Euh... get a livejournal if you don't have one people.
Anyway, today I pretty much slept all day. Then I woke up and did nothing really useful. The End.
today's special feature:
NAMES IN THE LEGEND OF BOOT
THE STORY ITSELF
Firstly let me say that while my nicknames for some of my friends may have been adapted to names in the story (and I have not necessarily informed the original possessors of these names of this, so YOU should read the freakin story)
Otherwise... a number of them of course are words I have completely made up and have used numerous times for other things: Blehtahepdakorum formost, but also Zyedendredex, Ibtrixenetox, Dedoederot, etcitera. Considering the very short length of what remains of the ORIGINAL "Legend of Boot" as it appeared in The Chosen Echidna, a number of names were taken from that, such as that of Boot himself, Claderyptic (by the sea), and Bladersplac. Spiridonovic and Aliosha are both taken from Russian myths. Eivan is from a previous story I wrote this quarter (that hasn't been made available online yet.. in my opinion it pretty-much sucked), Jerjerrod is from Star Wars (Grand Moff Jerjerrod, commander of the second Death Star), and Trogdor.. we all love and cherish Trogdor.
Kleb is the russian word for "bread" of course, and then there is Boot. Similar to the name Kleb, it is boldly and definitively unheroic and mundane. Moreover, whereas this story is my allegorical attempt to firmly kick the expectations of my class and classmates, Boot is the focal point of that kicking...
Theoretically I shall address a number of particular aspects of the Story in these upcoming days in similar Feature tangents. In the mean time. Read the story. Now. And give me feedback. The End.

Re: can i be in your boot
Yea the Story of Boot. I wrote it for my English class and now I'm on a campaign to one way or another trick all my friends into reading it. There's a link in this lj entry to it, and numerous previous ones as well.

::Readread::....
...the diction is great... 'dispersed tears' heh
Kinda lacking on the background info for Klebb and Jerr, though that's common with myths ;p
mmm dingles. Wow. That sounds incredibly wrong for some reason o_o;
Ibtrixenetox <-I'm going to die trying to pronounce this type of stuff :P
A conical white hat she wore, her skin was fair, long and blonde her hair and of eyes: blue. <-myth-style sentence contruction::dies again::
Conversely, Jerjerrod made himself as abundant as Deveroxy scarce <-hehe
YAH MORE DINGLES!!
bay auroches <- o.o
Cdttnvc <-That word cheats!!
One night while hunting, Eivan did not return. <-- eep, well then.
gilden golden <-whee!
albatross flew out forthwith and disappeared in a flutter of wings. An awkward silence there then ensued. <- LOL ;)
Funness! I feel like I should write an essay on the epic conventions used in it o.o
