Nox I've used for yonks on Pagan lists and thought it fitted in with Harry
Potter too. Nox is the Roman goddess of the night. NotteTorrente is Italian
for "night torrent". I am always wide awake at night (think nocturnal) and I
*love* storms, hence "night torrent" - NOT any other reasons which have been
suggested by my loving friends. "Silverdragon" is because I love silver and
dragons... I *bawled* when I was kid and asked mum if I could have one as a
pet when she told me dragons aren't real. Whaddya mean NOT REAL??

Yay! I got the second Highest score for the day (58) and that was only
because of a deranged mouse finger - clicked where I didn't mean to... :-(
