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

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-12-2009, 06:38 AM

Another year, another missed death-day; but slightly more than 7 years on the Downs for me now.

I toast you all.

Ooh congrats, Eomer.

7 years?

And you're now what?

Congrats to you Eomer! You're one of those without whom the 'Downs would not be the 'Downs!

7 years. That's impressive, Eomer. Congratulations! *insert clever Scottish Gaelic proverb*

Thanks.

And that ship just stays in the harbour now, Eönwë. Too old for anything else.

Okay, I was so sure that my deathday was yesterday, but when I checked I saw it was on the 7th instead. Then I look back at my post from last year and see I mixed it up the other way. How weird is that? My deathday seems to change by the year...could it be because of timezone differences? Because if I joined say 11pm MST on the 6th then technically I joined on the 7th EST (at 1am), which is what my time zone is currently set to..

So I'm no longer actually sure when my deathday is. But either way, it doesn't change that I've now been a Barrow Downer for seven years. Geez, that's a long time. I think back to when I was this 13 year old kid who was introduced to this site by a friend, and boy have things changed since then. Both me and the website. Funny to think that I've been here long enough to watch fellow Downers grow up and change with me. It's rather awesome, really. And just wait until another seven years pass...

It seems appropriate that out of all days, today will be the day I put up the admin thread for my game (yes, it'll be up sometime tonight).

Congrats, Brin.

I just noticed I also passed my two-year anniversary a few days ago. Alas, that I can continue on this board for another ten years and still be considered a junior member with the likes of Brin having posted for most of this century!
