The masks of inscrutability, or are you really you? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Saraphim · 06-10-2004, 04:32 AM

One of the most startling sensations I have felt recently is that Saraphim is smarter than Kira. I put this down to the fact that I write better than I speak, but it is a sensation nonetheless.

Today, while together with my 'real-time' friends (as you put it, H-I ), one of them remarked how odd it was; that I had not mentioned the Barrow-Downs for the duration of our time, which was quite a few hours.

I realized that Saraphim had become so rooted within me that even my friends in the non-url world miss her when she is on holiday.

Most of them are not Tolkien fans, though some are. It is rare, however, that I saw something LotR related that they understand. I find a place to vent my love for the nice books with all of you people, whom I have never really met or know much about, and yet I feel as if I do know some of you. I value my time on the Downs as much as I value my time with my friends.

I like this niche very much indeed.
