This is so exciting! 

Susan Wiggs did it…

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Okay, I filled out the questionnaire.  I think I did it wrong the first time, so I had to go back.  It’s so totally wrong when I, of all people, get a rich party house.  I should have clicked “overclocked” and not “hobnobbed” and on the second pass, I had an epiphany.

When it says “rolled a 20″ it might not mean a “critical”. But I’m not sure.  I didn’t click it this time.  I got a better house.  I would * LOVE * a griffon tower and a unicorn named Shadowhooves, so I think I finally found the right house. 

Except, it keeps trying to give me a chocolatessan!  I like some chocolate, occassionally, but a chocolatessan?  eww.  I’d rather have a delicatessan.  I am a sandwich frieak.  LOL

Here is the info.  :)

Your home is a 

Magic Coder’s Castle

      

      

Your kitchen is manned by a team of Keebler Drow Elves. There’s a Chocolatessen, which is rapidly becoming your favorite room of the house. Having one is also becoming a trend among your wealthy neighbors. Your master bedroom is decorated to look like the treetop village of the Galadhrim. Your study has every fantasy novel ever written, including multiple editions of the Silmarillion and advance copies of Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition. One of your garages houses your Hummer, and others contain your H2, and H3… with room for an H4, if they ever invent one. 

Your home also includes a roost for griffons. You’ve never actually seen a griffon, but you keep the roost ready anyway. Your guests enjoy your home theater with hi-def plasma screen TV, and the thrones you watch it from. Outside is the moat that protects your home from goblin invaders and extended family.

And, you have a pet — a unicorn named “Shadowhooves”.

Below is a snippet of the blueprints:

Seriously?  Why am I just now hearing about this?  Holy cow.  It should be all over the news, not just on the internet.  I find this disgusting.  Here are two articles and the Flight 93 Memorial Website.  What do you think?
