To clear things up: Yes, I am aware Sesshoumaru is not an elf. I am also aware he is not a princess.
I'm sorry if I've offended anyone with my treatment of Sesshoumaru as an "elven warrior princess." It's a longstanding joke, which I will now explain, and no one will find amusing.
My friends and I, for lack of better entertainment, were trying to find an accurate way to describe Sesshoumaru. I came up with that, and it stuck. It's just that, we really like him, but he looks kind of silly for practicality. He is a warrior. Yet, his rather elfin ears would seem to be rather a hindrance in battle. They'd give away position and hinder his ability to move. Also, his garb. Dressing so richly and spending so much effort on hair, and then go into battle? Silly Sesshy.
And now, I'vbe probably gone and made it worse, but my end statement is this: Sorry I came off as an idiot who is stupid; I'm actually an idiot who says stupid things.
So ... I spent the few days you were spared of me not sleeping. Rather, I did homework and attended very long rehearsals, at which I was yelled at. And with a sore throat.
It was quite painful.
I was just at a thing by a linguistic scholar guy on LotR, and it was wicked cool. Did you know that:
1) The language of the Rohirrim is actually just old English?
2) All the names for the kings of Rohan mean "king" in old English, except before Eorl, when they are Goth, because Tolkien secretly liked to believe the Goths were the ancestors of the English?
3) Since any language can be traced to it's ancestral form by taking the language and figuring out how it evolved and making rules about it, Elvish was made by taking Finnish and applying made up rules?
4) There is no good explanation as to why Beowulf is written in Anglo-Saxon?
I hate foozball. With a passion.
And not just because it is sitting in front of my TV.
