On Horstmania & Related Topics
I have found it difficult to write posts without using the word Horstmania so I'm going to go ahead and explain it. Horstmania is the nation of the Horstman family meaning my sisters, parents, brother-in-law, and me. Each of us theoretically has our own region of Horstmania but only mine, Ronyomar, is at all well fleshed out. Ronyomar is supposedly Elven for fox den and I use the word Ronyo to describe things that relate to me. For example the colors blue and cerise, leopards, and rainy days are all particularly Ronyo. Additionally, I should bring up Ronyomar's prestigious entertainment awards, the Shizue awards, which are awarded every December to movies books and the like. The Shizue's have inspired knock-offs in Llira (my mother's region) and Me'ashae (Lauren's) the latter of which are named the Lala's. We Ronyo snicker at this name when no Me'ashaer's are in sight. I realize that all of this is a bit silly and pathetic but when you have as many excess brainwaves as I do you have to think about something that entertains both the creative and fact oriented parts of one's brain and hence Ronyomar was born.

That is a flat-out lie. You snicker when we're in sight! And Me'ashae means something...and I named the LaLa's that for a reason....I just wish I could remember what!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention that we're the Independent Spirit Awards to your Oscars.
More like the Kansas city film critics awards to our Oscars. The Summit League to our ACC. The Major League Soccer to our La Liga. I've got a million of 'em.
ReplyDeleteIn my defense, I must say that while my region is poorly developed (although beautifully named), I claim that I have been a major contributor to Horstmanian culture as a whole...having provided the flag, and being the event planner of most of the festivals. I won't even get into the awards competition.
