For Those Who Died Today... Happy Deathday! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oddwen · 10-11-2004, 06:58 PM

My deathday isn't until February 19th, but I wanted to announce another rather important (to me) milestone.

After a year, seven months, and twenty-one days, I have finally reached my 500th post.

I wish some of them could have been better spent, like in the books forum, but I am happy with what I have accomplished with my Death here.

I just wish I could speak my mind better...but anyway. Thank you to all of you who make the Barrowdowns what they are.

WONDERFUL.

I would say congratulations, Oddwen, but now you're already on #501!

Also, a happy death-day shout out to Thanwen; who, conincidently, joined on his/her's 20th birth-day.

I just thought of this, but I died about two weeks ago. Actually, it's exactly two weeks ago. A year on the 'Downs! Yay for me!

I celebrated my deathday without knowing this topic was here, but I guess I can still mention myself.
I joined the Barrowdowns three years ago this early August gone, although I didn't become a fully fledged forum-spirit until two years ago last month. Still, Happy Deathday to me, somewhat belatedly.
And Happy past Deathdays to all of you folks, may you haunt the Downs a considerable while longer.

I died sometime around now, and thought I should post today because I will never remember on the actual day. So I died about three years ago, in November 2001. I had just read LOTR for the first time and I was in love with Middle-Earth. I happened across this site and thought it looked interesting. It didn't take me long to find the forum and I joined immediately. My post count is still very sad, especially when I see people who have been here for a shorter time and have many times my feeble count. My defence of myself is that it's quality, not quantity...
Anyway! Happy deathday to me!!!

Also right around now is my anniversary for reading LOTR for the first time, hooray!

Actually, your deathday ocurred on November 30, or so your user profile states

Nevertheless, Happy Deathday to you, many happy returns of the day of course, and really nice to see you sharing the joy with us

Whoops. I just assumed that my death coincided with my reading of LOTR for the first time which would place it at right about now...Though Nov. 30 is right in the middle of the week, so I wouldn't be able to get online anyhow, because of school work (today I have no school!). Ah well, can you blame me for wanting to celebrate early?
