interspecies erotica; you got a goat, we got a show
this actually has nothing to do with that at all.

i'm bored. so... yay, journal entry? it's damn cold in my room... i'm working on my rpg stuff, actually, so i think i just sort of needed a break from making family trees and doing character sketches. i'm actually kind of disappointed...

one of my characters is an american indian, and i blame that on my attempting to rekindle tribal affiliation. the character is of the same tribe i am (or would be, if the indians knew how to check their email...). and back then, i had sort of hoped that someone would've been able to teach me stuff, and i could learn about my heritage, and all that crap. but anyway, i looked up some names for my character's family members -- mostly surnames, actually, so at least that is an accurate usage. but i stumbled across some first names, which i checked in an online blackfoot-english dictionary. so the problem is usage. one in particular is listed on some sites as being male, some as female, some as gender-neutral... my guess is the third. i tried a while back to get the basic idea of pronunciation and simple grammar of the blackfoot language, and i don't remember any words being gender-biased other than the obvious; his/her, stuff like that. so hopefully...

still it is kind of bugging me. the character may actually be the basis for an ogrot project proposal. i wouldn't want something published with such a glaring error. well at least i wouldn't be the first to make a stupid mistake like that. i've seen worse than that many times before.

and i still wish someone from the tribe would get back to me. it's been months, so i don't think they ever will at this point. and i'd heard that might happen, but still it's kind of a burn that they couldn't even bother to say something like "sorry, but no"...
