Ultima Online Language
I started teaching myself how to write in Runic back in 7th grade (i'm outta school now) and i still remember it. My best friend and old room mate, diana, and i were the only ones that knew our 'secret' language.
I still write in Runic if i have something i want to express privately because i dont trust the english language in a journal. Or if i wanna start up conversation ^.-
i already know i play too much UO. But i do have a job, and i've got a husband now which i got back when i finished 9th grade and we're perfectly happy and both military! *an no, he's not a geek either*
there's a story for ya. ^.-
and just for the record-- i still think of black horses as nightmares; i've said "Laugh out loud" & "Laughing my ass off"; i've said "In Vas Mani" and "Corp Por" kindof as an inside joke to friends; i pitched a fit when my mom took the internet down so i couldn't play anymore(back in 2002-2003); I've thought/dreamed about actually "taming" a wild random creature (mostly horses); I refer to my crafting skills and such in real life as 'Newbie', 'Novice', 'Grand Master', 'Legendary', etc. and sometimes wonder where i'd be at if i were in UO; I think of the old hunts i used to go on w/ my guild whenever i hear Enya's 'A Day Without Rain' cd -- I used to listen to it all the time when i played UO; I also like hearing the Old UO songs and remembering stuff that happened in UO years ago, like Trinsic's Song - that used to be my guild's meeting town-- on top of the tall bank; And i still want a black horse of my own (preferably with orange/red hair around the hooves/nose/tail) so i can call it "Nightmare"
i've played UO since right before i turned 13 and i'll be 20 next month
there's my $.02 ^.-
Edit: I've never tried to do the ingot/make armor/weapons thing-- but now i think that'd be alot of fun!! Tin Cans you say ?? hmm... very interesting!!!

when you think of using incognito and go change clothing before you beat up some one who likes you as a friend.
when you go to a dinner with your boss and wonder where you put your poison.
When your at a conference and wish you could set a macro and just walk away.
You know youve been staff to long when -
you fregot your report and try to [add one.
your following some one and think of the [who menu.
some one asks for something and you want to kick them for rule breaking.

I've tried Recalling home from work to avoid 5 o'clock traffic. Several people at work still think im weird and want to know what the hell "Kal Ort Por" Means....i had been pretty much playing nonstop for 4 days with maybe 9 hours sleep when this happened tho...i started hearning trinsic music during math class...then the incident at work, not cool. This has also happened with grand theft auto also...i kept hearing 80s music all day shortly after vice city came out. its a good thing there wasnt a gun or bat nearby, cause i was really out of it. Loss of sleep with too much gaming can cause some notso good Delusions
I also frequently refer to freshmen as n00bs but thats just for fun.

I was driving down the road one day, kind of in a stupor. I thought to myself, it's ok if I crash and die, I will just go find a healer.
That's when I knew I needed help.

Well, back in the day(6yrs ago) my wife and I used to play UO every day. After about 2 yrs of playing, we had our 7 yr old daughter come up to us @ our desks, with her doll, and our 5 yr old sons T-rex. We decided we were gonna stop playing so much when this little girl looked @ us and said "Mom, Dad, look....Barbie is riding her Osty to the bank!". And this girl had never played the game. That is a true story. We played less and less after that and shortly there-after, we just stopped playing all together.
