I can't believe I found another one of these teru teru guys, but I did, so I had to icon him!

(now everyone thinks I am a weird white doll with a giant head)

I came home and was tired from work and was very loud! So I sang more rat songs to my rats (they rhymed! It is easy to rhyme when your song only has one word!) and I scritched Fitz-rat and morked very loudly. I tried to make him mork fiercely and ferociously, because he is a fierce and ferocious rat, but he would not. So I morked for him.

I don't think I was fierce and ferocious but I was VERY LOUD!

Mork!

I like words ending in -ork.

Snork!

Bork bork bork!

Teru teru Momiji?

Your rat-morking is very funny.

Cork, lork, sork, quork.

Ooo is that what they're called? I keep forgetting the actual name -- the little bring back sunny skies guy?

Quork! I like that.

[octopedingenue]

Ooo is that what they're called?

Probably not, as I have no idea what you're talking about! I was quoting a line from Momiji's silly little song in the "Fruits Basket" anime. :D A lyrics-less MP3! What are those little round white things, and why did you adopt them for your icons?

[oyceter]

Oh how funny! I had no idea!

The little guys are actually teru teru bouzu, which are little dolls resembling ghosts made of white tissue or cloth. In Japan kids make them and hang them up in the windows if they want the rain to go away. I bet Momiji was playing off that too!

Anyway, so of course they've got this cute little Sanrio-esque version of them on merchandise called "teru teru tenshi" (shine shine angels or something like that). I just saw one on a cell phone strap in Japan and fell in love with the guy and got the strap. Then I found the doll in a department store in Taiwan and decided to get it and randomly iconned it early on, and it somehow just stuck as my default icon!

But I like them, and they are happy, and I like sun, so it seems to fit.

You aren't a weird white doll with a giant head? ::wail::

[oyceter]

Indeed I am not! Now I have shattered your entire image of me! ;)

what does morking sound like? @_@

[oyceter]

Um. Sort of like, "Mork mork mork mork."

Um, yes. My sound effects, not so creative.

Please explain this mork of which you speak. Is it applicable only in conjunction with rats?

[oyceter]

Mork - interjection. Used when feeling extremely silly or simply very loud. Example sentence: "Mork! Mork mork mork mork mork! I mork!"

Er, yeah, I feel really dumb now.

As an older male I'd better not even attempt a comment with the word "doll" in it! Oops, I just did!
