Über-Jealous

Just thought I would ask you guys: Do you have the same fetish for using characters and diacritics not found in English orthography? Oh, man. I do. I don't know what it is, but I LOVE the umlaut. It looks especially good on a capital letter, like in 'Ärtze' or 'Österreicher'. There is just something about it... when I write them on paper I take extra time to make them perfect, symmetrical dots. I also really enjoy ß. Therefore, I really enjoy such words as 'Großmütter'. You know what else is good? THORN. Hell yes. This is why Icelandic rocks so hard. They have æ, þ, ð, accents, and umlauts. I am so incredibly jealous. What I wouldn't give for my name to actually be Þor. Let's not forget about good 'ol ø. I had a Norwegian Sunday School teacher years ago named Pøtt. I didn't realize how cool that was at the time, and now I regret not knowing. å is pretty cool, too, though I don't know what it sounds like. Let's not forget about the characters of South America, ñ and ç. Both are good, but have nothing on the european ones. I don't know how many times I have written out Old English passages during class, purely because it was aesthetically pleasing. Words like 'eorþscrǣf' and 'siððan' ... oooh baby.

English is so lame. We don't have anything cool. Just letters. We get apostrophes, which isn't even special. We've got 'naïve', that's about it. And most people don't even spell it that way. Thanks a lot, Normans. King Arthur had a good thing goin'... dicks...

Am I alone in this?
