Well, I don't see what's wrong with "Yomi"... Ahem. :)

Good name but like the hundred or so other names I would have named her had she been not a 'her', it's for a male cat ^_^ I did consider Elle though.

The Chrestomanci books are indeed awesome, but Howl's Moving Castle and Castle in the Air (the latter particularly) are amazing. If you like Chrestomanci, you sould -definitely read these.

I just leave them be. I won't even let a doctor squeeze them. I don't need my two favourite body parts put through such an ordeal.

How about trying the Peanus butter solution?

Mm ^_-

I don't have them in my ears but I get them very regularly in my breasts. Has led to a few panics about breast cancer, and as with the lobe thing, I can squeeze them myself if I want to.

Fuck. That.

Oh, totally. Like, all the cats before my current two were "family" pet and they were never inside cats so eventually they got run over or killed in a fight. Except that one that my parents took to a great farm somewhere when I was really little...

Now that I'm adult and looking after my own, I actually know how to take care of them properly and these are both inside cats. At the expense of much sanity and furniture, but still.

I know, I was just giving you a serious come-back... my bad ^_^

Call it insecurity because none of those cats did have a very long life. *cough*

Lately, meaning... throughout my whole life? Also, you're assuming I didn't have any of those at the same time.

Dunno, but I found her as a stray so she certainly started out in a bad position. Of course, then she found me and now she's fat and spoilt.

Holy crap, you're right. I thought for sure there'd be one on the Popular Threads forum but no...

I can't just pick a favourite. 5 Days I consider to be the most well-made game, Apprentice 2 is amazing, Pleurghburg is probably the game with the most replay value for me... I can't pick one!

Hmm, some great ideas but nothing clicks yet. Still torn between Alice and Malon >_<

What I physically -call- her has nothing to do with the name. I never call my cats their names... just 'baby' or 'pussycat' or something cutesy like that. The actual name is for bragging purposes really, and to make me feel cool.

I've already called one of my past cat's Neko, before I knew any Japanese so in was wrongly pronounced 'Neeko'... still cute though. Before that was Socratess, Misty (oh, so cliched) and Sylvester (I didn't name that one). After Neko came Ark, named after the hero from Terranigma.

You know what. I just sat here thinking and wondering about more video game heroins I liked... Babar, that name is PERFECT! Not because of Indy, but because my second favourite author of all time is Diana Wynne Jones, who wrote, among others, Howl's Moving Castle and Castle in the Air. Anyone who's ever read the latter will know, coupled with the knowledge that adore that book to pieces, why I'm going to name her Sophie (though, I hesitate to say why exactly because you should READ those books and I don't wanna give anything away... though I'm sure I've already done that by mentioning them in this context).

Sophie it is! Case closed!

Hmm, it's a pretty cool name but doesn't have any personal meaning to me so I'm not so mad about it.

Another name I always wanted to give something but my fiance won't let me (he hates it) is Brandywine. Of course, a hat tip to Kyrandia.

Farlander: Actually, I think I specified that I specifically DON'T want to call her something cliched as a name relating to her colour :P But thanks.

Okay, true, Custard is cute. My favourite cute cat name is Cinnamon, which is also the name of Matt Greoning's cat so I don't wanna steal it from him.

Elaine is no good because I already have a cat called Marley. It would be too competitive.

Rui: Actually, I despise that game. I also don't like Alice in Wonderland (the book). I'm a big Oz fan though but I'm not naming my cat Dorothy.

Being at somewhat of a quandry, I thought I'd enlist everyone's help here.

I've come to be the owner of an adorable little black cat here in Japan. I never named her because I was planning on finding another home for her. That, months later, hasn't happened. As I feared, we've become pretty attached and I'm gonna keep her and take her back to Australia with me.

Just lately, last few days or so, I've been thinking it's about time I gave her a name. My other cat in Australia (in my avatar) is called Marley in a tribute to my love for SoMI. I want my new cats name to also reflect something I'm passionate about, game-wise or music-wise, etc. I also wanted something that would be cute, rather than just calling her "Blacky" or "Noir" or some other name that has something to do with the fact that she's black.

So, help me out here. I've come up with two names that I both really like and I wanna know what you think.

ALICE - In a tribute to Alice Cooper, whom I adore. It's also a very girly, cute name.

MALON - In a tribute to my favourite character from the Zelda series (also called Marin) and also by sheer coincidence my absolute favourite flavour of anything in Japan (Malon/maron is "Spanish chestnut")



I could go for a cute name like Scribbles or Custard but for me, a name needs to reflect one of my hobbies/passions.

EDIT: For anyone who recognises the cat doll, no, I'm not calling her Jiji. For one, Jiji is a male cat, but mostly because EVERYONE in Japan wants me to call her Jiji and it;s way too cliched.

Better! Line thickness variation makes a real difference...

This may be just me so I don't necessarilly recommend this method, but I go insane with line thicknesses ^_^ They're like a drug for me, I start and I can't stop. Lines get thicker all over the place!

For all he knew though, it could have gone well and er... been something other than a black eye *nudge nudge*

If porn is anything to go by, women are just looking for an excuse to blow any guy they come across.

I'm going on 23 and I'm getting my "second wind" right now. I expect this'll happen every few years until I hit the age where sex has less appeal than a good game of parchesee and a bowl of prunes.

Mind you, I haven't had any in 3 months... couch humping for me!

I think I just spurted milk out of nose. That was so unexpected coming from you, Puma :P

Its funny, I've had friends talk to me about this "rly" thing that's been going around and I'm surprised because I've never, ever come across it... and heck, I'm a member of a pretty damn rowdy forum. Haddas, thankyou for being the first person to use it in my presence (on the internet).
