...I'm going to name it Shadowfax. I'm sure my intended will be fine with that, since I tend to fall in love with bespectacled engineers (ChemE a +) who are sure to appreciate and allow such silliness.
Then again, I've always agreed with Salma Hayek, who once famously declared:
"I'll get married when I find a man who has more cojones than I do."
My father constantly told me similar as I was growing up; he insisted that if I didn't get married, it would be fine with him, since I should only do so if I found someone worthy of life-long devotion.
"Never settle. Ever. I don't need to pay for a wedding or see a grandchild THAT badly. You are precious. If someone doesn't see that, you shouldn't marry him. To hell with them and anyone else who tells you to get married because 'you have to'. Who the hell are they. Fuck them. "
Sigh. So, it's entirely possible that I will never whisper, "Run, 964...show us the meaning of haste". But somehow, I don't know that I could live any other way.
"Put aside the blogger; become who you were born to be."

He was amazing. I remember when he said that it was laced with even more curse words in both English and Malayalam. He was a characte.r

For whatever reason when my folks curse in tamil, it does not sound that bad.
Then again, they tend to use english when they are having a serious discussion.
