The *new* Barrow Downs photo page!

[the guy who be short]

Look! Look! Eomer makes a Dutch person look short! Surely that should be a headline?

Eomer's head is the same shape as mine.

Yes, yes, they are cute. I was getting there...

[Rikae]

Heren, do you know kung fu?
Mac, why the annoyed expression? And stop it with that "look even worse than real life...blah blah blah", you know you look good.
I wonder when Nogrod will reveal himself?

I passionately hate my old picture, so here's another, for which my hatred is slightly less intense (though I still hate it). I'm blonde, not redheaded - it's the lighting (the same mischevious lighting that had it's way with Lommy's hair, no doubt!)

[littlemanpoet]

Okay, how do you do that - - - putting a picture actually in the post body?

I know how to make an attachment, but that other stuff..... ????

[Rikae]

Click on the little yellow and gray postcard above the window, and put the url in there.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

That photo is all wrong LMP. . .you look way to skinny for how I picture you.

[littlemanpoet]

So I'm fat in your imagination? Great!

Oh well, the pic is not a url but a home file. Sigh. Thanks anyway.

[Brinniel]

I wonder when Nogrod will reveal himself?

I believe he already has...

Yeah, here it is.

Though I declare that a photo of him and Lommy together still needs to be posted on this thread.

Since everyone's posting photos, here's a more recent one of me, I guess.

(I wanted to post a photoshopped one, but decided I should give you guys a more accurate depiction of me )

It will be taken when my little sister finally gives up and joins the 'downs so we can have a nice family portrait of the three of us...

Thanks for the compliment!

I will still insist on not being really good-looking, I'm sorry.

When I decided to finally put a picture on here, I took a lot of photos of myself and in the end the annoyed one was simply the only one which I judged to be remotely passable (you honestly don't want to see the others). I always look stupid when I'm smiling on photos.

Did I say "really"?

Eomer and Cailin-- *gushes*

They're just painfully cute. In fact, I think I'm developing a bruise.

Here's a newer picture of me. Maybe I'll send it to Tigerlily for the website. I haven't decided yet, though.

[Lhunardawen]

It isn't like me to share photos, but I'm in an odd mood tonight, so there.

These were taken a month ago, during our summer "holidays." It depicts our subject in two different states of haggardness, which you will notice if you observe the hair closely. Our subject and her companions were studying an hour or so before a Biochemistry quiz, you see.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Pink hair!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nice. . . I wonder if pink or red hair would suit me.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I think it suits you, Mr Rune.

Looks good Fea. If you want to be really outrageous, try green hair and add yellow spots.

*Sounds like a Peter Gabriel song, no?

[the guy who be short]

Why didn't you dye the eyebrows, Fea?

Fear of accidental blindness ensuing.

Very nice. Ah...to be young again when colouring one's hair doesn't cause an office panic/expulsion nor calls for an exorcism.

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?

Lhunardawen, nice. Note that, being me, I see a person whose head can spin round like an owl...which is a little creepy.

I'm not sure youth applies... I've spent the past two days with my father's voice in my head asking "And just who do you expect to hire you looking like some dumb punk kid? I certainly wouldn't have you working for me."

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?

But of course.

You're sweet. But that's because the photo's too small to show it, I now realise.

There's a certain trick to it. I could teach you, if you like.

Fea, you amazingly manage to look good in anything.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks for the inlightentment Hookbill, now I just need to cut my hair, let my beard grow, gain a few pounds and then use that die. . . .

Of course I would have to stay away from fea as well, otherwise I would steal her thunder.

If you mean teaching me how to look like picture #2, (1) I can look haggard without any assistance (it's genetic), or (2) if you hadn't noticed, there's no way with my current hair style that I'd ever be able to accomplish said feat, regardless of training (and long hair takes up time that I'd rather use drinking coffee) or (3) learning to spin my head completely around might sound like a good thing, but, as a parent, sometimes it's better not to turn around and to just keep walking.


Fea, I'm reminded of the commercial for those little teeny breath mints where the woman juggles a bunch on her tongue. Your picture could be inserted in the last 5 seconds of the ad with the tag line, "Now in pink lemonade!"

If I were you, I'd be sending your photo now. And when you make it big, just now and then remember us little people.
