The Things I have that you don't have (or do you?) meme

1. Name 3 cd's or other recordings you own that you think no one else on your friends list does.

a. Nightbird by Erasure
b. Sophisticated Lady by Frank Mantooth (whom I just learned passed away two years ago... :( I actually got to meet this guy a few times and study with him... he was an awesome jazz musician)
c. Super Hits of the 70s : Have a Nice Day Volume 8 (sadly, I bought it for just one obscure song)

2. Name 3 books you own that you think no one on your friends list does.

5. Name at least 1 piece of technology or any sort of tool you think no one on your friends list has.
A bone folder (it's a librarian thing, used for binding books); writing quills (that I really use - this I'm just more curious than anything if anyone else ever uses these... I have one made with a black feather of some sort and one with golden peacock feathers, and yes, I really do use them)

Can anyone cross something off the list?

I have the coolest new toy

I picked up a family tree program as last year the computer with the family trees for the elves i deal with crashed and i lost everything but the pages that list the descedants of Finwe, but anyhow...

Spent the morning sniffling and sneezing and retyping everything in. This one has a nifty feature where it will then tell me how one person is related to another, without beeping alot like the old one did (the other one always got pissy over the fact that Gladders and Celeborn were second cousins among other things). It still beeps, but it lets me do it. Sadly, not as liberal as the old one - I had to make Glorfindel female for it to accept the Erestor/Glorfindel pairing. (sorry Fin... I owe him a cheesecake)

This will make it so much easier for me to figure everyone out... (and probably for readers, too, lol).

Now I don't have to do all the work. Computer does it for me. Therefor...

"Glorfindel Angrodion and Lord Elrond Earendilion are 2nd cousins 2 times removed. Their common ancestors are Finwe and Indis ."

"Glorfindel Angrodion and Queen Arwen Undomiel Elrondien are 1st cousins 1 time removed. Their common ancestors are Finarfin Finweion and Earwen ."

This thing is so awesome...

"Lieutenent Rumil Celebornion and Nenniach Maeglinion are 2nd cousins 1 time removed. Their common ancestors are Finwe and Indis ."

"Lieutenent Orophin Celebornion and Valarda Glorilien are 2nd cousins 1 time removed. Their common ancestor is Finwe ."

"Lady Celebrian Celebornien and Lord Elrond Earendilion are 1st cousins 2 times removed. Their common ancestors are Galadhon Elmoion and Lhunerin ."

Wow... y'know, I always knew they were all a pretty close family, but now that I see it all spelled out for me... eh, at least the last one is Tolkien's.
