kitty == ***1087;***1103;***1090;***1100;

ok, psu. with your help, trig talked me into it.
as you know, we're getting a cat.

i wanted to name it reaver at first, but i've had time to talk to trig and others about it as well as reflect and write about it myself. i've come up with a name that i think is perfect.

i'm polling for approval of ***1087;***1103;***1090;***1100;; it's pronounced (roughly) "pyat."

so, PSU, you helped trig convince me to get the cat... now help me convince trig to name it.

detail

here's my T-report on the situation

you can figure out what the name means on your own, but i'll tell you about the language:
trig and i, correct or not, consider ourselves mildly world-cultured; we both love foreign languages and countries as much as our own.
we hope spend some time in italy, germany, norway, and england in the future.
we both thought it would be pretty cool to name the cat something in german, which elicited my suggestion of "L�ftL�we," but that was put aside. MVTek reminded me of a cat name i came up with a while back which i absolutely love, but i wanted to put an "us" twist on it, to make it uniquely triggar and myself.
so logically i started sifting through foreign languages, and i came up with this. i'm ~~pretty~~ really happy with it, and actually can't wait til she wakes up to tell her. it's like christmas... i hope. it won't be if she doesn't like it.

[Fragmatic] says:

martyr says:

martyr says:

martyr says:
how awesome would that be... have pyat's toys all made out of twisted-pair
martyr says:
hahaha, that idea just made my night

It's so cool the reading on the Fragtech coolness meter has just flown off the end.

It's a bitmap, but the file extension has been renamed to .jpg, there is no way in hell a jpeg that size would be 222kb, even the image I posted below is only ~40kb.
