Balin999 · 06-16-2005, 11:47 AM

Wow I'm almosut famous around here

To be honest, I forgot that some people thought that I looked like Elijah wood.
But the pic I send Tigerlily is very different... I'm wearing a suit and in the meantime I've grown a goatie ... or sth like that.
It's possible that you know me from the old quiz room threads... but they most be very old since I haven't posted there since.... a 100 years or so

Your right Heren, I had that Sauron999 account... well well well.... the times they are a-changing.
I'm in an online clan at the moment (we play a Half-life-mod, not counterstrike, though)
and there I'm known by the name Targon. Any know where that guy comes up in Lotr?

Arwen Imladris · 06-16-2005, 03:46 PM

Isn't he one of the men of Gondor? Oh wait for it, "Soldier, Third Company, Citadel Guard (Minas Tirith)". Ha. *Does little Dance*

Ok, right, on topic.

Very nice job Tigerlily! I don't really understand your picture, Gil-galad! And is that a picture you drew yourself, Abercrombieofrohan? Looks nice.

I don't have any pictures of me on my computer, but if I ever get around to scanning one, I'll send it over.

VanimaEdhel · 06-17-2005, 04:15 PM

If anyone was ever curious, HERE I am. Probably the only time you'll see me without makeup.

Encaitare · 06-17-2005, 10:23 PM

That's a really pretty necklace.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 06-17-2005, 11:07 PM

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while... my life has been rather, er, busy, interesting, disappointing, frustrating... well, I've covered the map of emotions, and I haven't been motivated to do much else. I'll try to update before I take my mini vacation, though... but I can't promise that it will get done. Depression has been winning lately, so I don't know what chance motivation stands against it.

Gil-Galad · 06-18-2005, 08:00 AM

don't worry Tig, i know how its feeling, last week has been...well horrible for me, but heres some words of encouragement

"I know what you need, some encouraging words...you can do it, now make a hundred more! *cracks whip*"

with love,

Gil

Many thanks.

Elennar Starfire · 06-19-2005, 05:02 PM

Yes, very nice. I want to know where I can get one.

elronds_daughter · 06-19-2005, 07:10 PM

Oooh, agreed. Very nice accessory you've got there.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-19-2005, 07:11 PM

Don't worry, Tig. I know alllllllll about emotional-roller-coaster weeks. I would post why I know about them, but I'm sure people don't really want to know about me finishing high school, my dog almost dying, my guy issues, my college issues, my parent issues, or my classmates-til-Friday-when-I-never-have-to-acknowledge-them-as-classmates-again issues.

So here are encouraging words: Things get better. I promise. And since I know everything, how can you possibly doubt me? No, I'm serious. Things always get better. Especially if you make yourself look for things to make you smile. Read a good book. I can name one or two (coughLotRcough). Or watch a funny movie. Or get your favorite kind of ice cream and eat it outside on the grass in the sun. That kind of thing.

And think of it this way... at least your tone-deaf next-door neighbor isn't butchering really good music with his electric guitar by trying to play along.

And if it helps, we all think you're doing a fantastic job.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-21-2005, 01:38 PM

Tig, I'm e-mailing you the new version of my pic even as I'm writing this.

*Fea giggles in anticipation of people's reactions to her favorite self-portrait ever*

Bêthberry · 06-19-2005, 07:26 PM

Is this a dance photograph, Vanima, with your hair tied back starkly? I like it, particularly the colouring. Skip the makeup.

I must say my accessories are somewhat different from Lush's, as is my taste in older men. Nothing against davem, but Narfforc's piccie suggests something impish to me.

And as for accessories, I'm tied between SpM's adorable kids (tsk, using them to increase your charm quota!) and Meela's cat. That garden wall behind Meela is straight out of Middle-earth it seems to me.

Tig, this is just so cool. Really. You've made a wonderful contribution to the Downs here. Better than cool even!

Tigerlily Gamgee · 06-19-2005, 08:39 PM

And just where is your picture, Bethberry???

Ok, I got off my sorry butt and updated. I'm truly sorry to those who've had their pictures rotting in my inbox... but hey, we're dead, so we're used to rotting, no?
I added Balin999 and SonOfBombadil (yay for uping the male count), and removed Encaitare as per her request. I also changed my piccie, because I got bored... haha.

Balin999 · 06-20-2005, 07:24 AM

Wow, that new pic of yours is better than the last one, Tigerlily.
You're quite a hottie too

What, no words of commendation for my own fetching chapeau?

Vive Les Expos!!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-20-2005, 07:56 AM

But Fordim, it doesn't matter what picture we see of you. You are cemented as Indie. Until you post a picture of Harrison Ford, there shall remain no comment.

Oh, I noticed it my dear compatriot and had quite the chuckle, or several, over it. But what can I say? Did Les Expos ever win a World Series? Still and all, mythic potential there. The once and future team.

I am in fact contemplating submitting a picture of my own somewhat after the manner of your own, Fordim, so rest assured that your influence is not waning with your haphazard appearances here on the Downs.

Tig, there's a picture of me on the Chat Wights page of the forum. The one that BW has not desecrated with the pirate patch, although I find that one extremely funny. You had to be in chat to understand it though.

They would have in '94 had not the strike interfered. That's why the strike happened, by the way...it was a plot to prevent any possibility of an All-Canadian World Series.

Which is also why, by the way, Les Expos were forcibly removed to Washington...
