My godmother never fails to tell people that she thinks all babies are ugly, especially newborns. She once told me I was the only cute baby she had ever seen and inmediately told her own daugther "unlike you, you looked like a monkey covered in snout".

Actually this story reminds me a lot of the tale of Rustico's devil and Alibec's hell, but probably Mrs. Flanders wouldn´t condone my association because the characters in the story weren´t married and maybe even would say that Rustico´s devil grew tired of Alibec´s hell because their lack of sacred vows. And no,…

Once I told a friend of mine that I wanted to make a list of future reading to help me organize all the books that I wanted to read. She told me that she didn´t think it was a good idea and that told me that she had enough reading lists at the university.
But since I was talking about somenthing I wanted to do, FOR…

I was ten years old and I got my first period, my mother had died only months ago and not even one from my female relatives wanted to explain that to me. Not my aunts, not my grandmother and not my very liberal cousins. So my dad did it, he sweated, got awfully nervous and looked as frightned as hell but I only…

Carpinchos, chinchillas and guinea pigs are from the same family even though the are very different from each other, so the confusion may have come from there.

I have friend from NZ and one time an old lady asked her somenthing and she started by saying "no te quiero molestar" wich would mean "I don´t want to cause…

"his folks live practically right across the border from Chile"

Chile? Carpinchos don´t live there, are you sure they didn´t say "chinchillas"? that´ll make more sense.

I´ve looked for the map to show you:

Carpinchos:

No it isn´t. I´m living in Argentina and MAYBE people would consider changing cows for guinea pigs in case of a zombie invansion, zombie cows. Maybe you mean "carpincho" that´s how we call the capybara here and it´s impossible to mistake those two. If I ask anyone to sell me guinea pig meat people are going to think I…

But I wasn´t speaking about him. Sorry, it´s my fault I should have been a little more exact, I was thinking not about a single character but about another race (besides humans) that can warg. I thought that they only have the greensight ability, but later on someone corrected me and told me that in order to be a…

"Northerners specifically northerners with blood of the first men can warg, that's why only Bran and some wildlings have shown the capability to warg."

I can´t answer this without getting into spoilers, but later you´ll see that´s not the case, there is at least one exception, a VERY important exception.

Once I went into a comic shop and I wasn´t asked any of these questions:

a) Is it for a present?
b) Is it for you?
c) Is it for your boyfriend?

It felt great, plus I bought an ice-cream (yeah they used to sell ice-creams at that comic store).

What I do get a lot is people thinking that my boyfriend introduced me to RPG.…

Thano you so much! For making my day, my month and probably the whole semester.
This brings me back to the time when I was little, and I couldn´t find a Spiderman toy, so I just sewn a little costume for my Batman instead. Talk about a secret identity.

I wasn´t sure about posting this story, it´s not mine and it´s not even very scary, but I feel like sharing it.

I´m glad I could be useful. :)

Just one tiny little thing: http://www.themarysue.com/tolkien-fights-nazis/

I thought this was going to make me go and cuddle with my own dog (and it did it) but then I found out that the people that work at the cemetery discovered one day that Capitán (the accent it´s on the "a") had a broken leg and they were very worried and called a vet to help him, and they´re still taking good care of…

Britain's Falkland Islands yes, of course, not Malvinas. Sure.
