A particularly amusing set of statistics:

Social
Number of hugs: 29
Total facepalms: 8
Total times playing world's smallest violin: –
Total times LOL'd: 25
Total cheers: 331
Total waves: 18

What we can take away from this, and how it relates to Teu's personality:

  • Though Teu likes people, she doesn't hug nearly as often as some of my characters would, if given half the chance. It's not that she's not touchy-feely — she just only hugs her really close friends.
  • Teu has very little shame and doesn't stay embarrassed for long.
  • Teu is not the least bit sarcastic. I mean, not even a little. That's just not her!
  • I take minor exception to "LOL'd" — Teu is more likely to /giggle or /chuckle than to /laugh. She definitely has a sense of humor, though!
  • Teu is really, really happy and positive, no matter what. Not much gets her down. She cheers at everything!
  • I have no observations on waving. >_>

Despite the fact that she's been primarily speaking Common for several years now, she still doesn't have the knack of it, and some misspeakings have caught on more than others. (There was the time she said a pair of gnome friends of hers — a pair where the male gnome was madly in love with the female gnome, who barely tolerated him — were off "boinking together". She meant bonking together — as in bonking other people in an arena! The female gnome in question was not amused.)

Her greeting is often "Salutings!", but then there was the time she tried to correct "salutings" to "salutations" — and totally missed. Instead, she said "Greetings and sandwich rations!"

Friend: …I think ye've got that a bit mixed up, Teu.
Teuthida: Oh, oh, I meant…
Friend: I like sandwich rations.
Teuthida: *cheerfully* Well! In that case, it is exactly what I meant! Greetings and sandwich rations!

After LK came out, I ended up fishing. And fishing. And fishing some more. Go figure — I seem to really like fishing now. It may have something to do with the fact that fishing produces such awesome food — including food that replenishes mana! Anyway, for raids, she generally has a fish buffet… but with mages around, those can easily be turned into "sandwich rations".

And thus, "sandwich rations" has become one of the keywords that goes along with Teuthida in my head.

(I pondered a lot of other blog titles — things like Braids and Blastings, Beer and Squid, HealHealHealHealHeal, and so on, but "Sandwich Rations" is weird and unique and makes no sense whatsoever, which I find really appealing for some reason. :) )
