The interesting thing is that Tolkien's Elvish is derivated from a language used in an old Finnish folk song thingy called Kalevala with Latin grammar.

So now wonder you think it sounds the same. :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to de-nerd myself a bit.

One of the major story lines in Tolkien's "background" work the Silmarillion was essentially stolen directly from the Kalevala (Túrin Turambar == Kullervo). There was a heavy influence of the Kalevala in most of his work. It's more than just Finnish poems, it's really a book of Mythology (the Finnish national epic). Tolkien loved it so much, he taught himself Finnish so he could read it without translation.

I'll go de-nerd now too.

Damnit, don't push this on me. :p
I'm sorry, but didn't you say three pages ago, and I'm quoting:
Oh, and dude. In danger of sounding like Lee, you look good. ;)

...you started it. :D The jacket is cool, though. I almost bought one very, very similar from Gap for $30 (on sale). I beat myself whenever I remember for not getting it.

I think I need to cut my hair...
Unless you personally find it very, highly, extremely, overwhelmingly, horribly and indescribably irritating, don't. Long hair is so much better than short.

You are the vision of pulchritude with hair like that. Oh and hey: Green top. Nice!

It looks good long but I think with your features you would look equally stunning with a modern bob style.

I've known girls w that 'do, and they were always b****y. But you never know unless you try it, I guess.

Not many people can pull it off. IMHO, girls look more beautiful with long hair. Not saying that girls can't look good with short hair, hell, look at Natalie Portman when she shaved her hair for "V for Vendetta," she looked stunning.

Sure it all depends on what kind of hair and face you have but I think women can look equally beautiful with short or long......of course it helps if you are beautiful anyway I guess :)

Listen to the bald bloke giving out hair advice anyway! LOL.

Certainly to each his own - but I've never seen a single female anywhere, without exception, who looks equally beautiful with short hair as with long.

There are certainly some women who are quite beautiful with short hair - and universally, they would all look even better with long.

My opinion - YMMV.

Like you say, each to his (or her) own. But I would dispute that you can't be equally gorgeous with short or long hair. I give you Charlize Theron and Eva Longoria. Both sporting long and short hair and both looking equally beautiful I would say.

Dont get me wrong, i like Rihannas and Victorias short hair do's alot, they rock, BUT in the long run i prefer long, short hair also need alot more work to look good.

Interestingly it also works the other way. You can be equally as unattractive with short or long hair as MacRy at 19 and MacRy at 37 clearly shows :)
