For my purposes, Ivri is a young mage of noble birth in a fantasy setting. I found the name in a list of knights and rather liked the look of it. Ooooooh. <3 Will people vote on Rynelle or Renvielle as a surname? (Or vote neither if you think both Ivri Rynelle and Ivri Renvielle look stupid) Rynell...

Well, today I learned not to use RealPlayer anymore.

@Ghost Story: My brother-in-law owns all the books (except for one which he borrowed from my boss who is just as big a fan). I've bought some of them for him as gifts, and I got him Ghost Story as a birthday present. I've been reading his copies, and he's going to let me read Ghost Story once I get ...

Happy Birthday guyz!

I certainly have a long way to go, but it's good to see that I've also come a long way.
