In an attempt to stay connected with friends from home I do spend some time in g-mail chat here and there. Last night I was having a couple nice little g-chats when my conversation with one Lauryn Serratore revealed that my blog may be giving people the wrong impression.
For those who aren't aware, I also go by the name Animal but just last night I was informed by Lauryn that after reading my blog, she believed that Angry Elf was better suited to me.
According to Lauryn, who I doubt has any real expertise in elf mythology, all my entries on this blog are sad and more reflective of an elf than an animal.
Let's break this down a bit and see exactly why it makes no sense.
a. Physique. Clearly, standing at approximately 5'10" I drastically exceed the average height of a typical elf. Exception being only to that of the Elves of Middle Earth from Lord Of the Rings yet even than the only elf race I am comparable to is the Noldor race and despite sharing their good looks and dark hair, I am too tan and my ears are not pointy enough to really be considered one of their own.
b. Emotional Status. I assure you that my opinions and emotions have changed very little since my arrival in Georgia. Although I didn't write a blog back home I am sure if I did it would be filled with just as many satirical entries about the futility of my life.
So, just to clarify, it may sound as if I have a pathetic existence since moving down to Georgia but I assure you my life was just as pathetic back home when people called me Animal so I see no need for a name change.
