New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

12-05-2004, 05:39 PM

I'm a newly registered, um, well, I don't know if that makes me a member, so I'm a newly registered person. I found this site through a google search reference to the "Translations from the Elvish" project, which really intrigued me, as I've been doing a small scale project of the same nature for the last two years (intermittantly). I hope I'm doing the right thing by posting here. I got kinda toasty at the only other discussion forum I've been a member of, and I hope I learned more about how to be a part of such a community. (That's not an indication that I am a troublemaker, I hope). The posts I've read here are all quite stimulating, articulate, and fun.

Well I'm not exactly a "new member" but I haven't been on since about April! I just wanted to re-introduce myself! I'm 22 and live near Seattle, WA but currently I'm in my senior year at Washington State University! I love Lord of the Rings and enjoy learning about the elvish language as well as the geography of middle earth. Feel free to chat with me, I'm friendly!

Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!

Greetings, my merry friends!

My mother introduced me to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books in 1973 when I was 11 years old, and I've been a great fan ever since.

Although I received a copy of the first printing of The Silmarillion for Christmas in 1977, I confess that it was many years later before I read it in its entirety. However, I've now read it through about seven times and enjoy it more with each successive reading.

I've very much enjoyed Peter Jackson's film adaptations. He's accomplished what was previously thought impossible, and nearly proved so by Ralph Bakshi in the late '70s, that is, successfully bringing Professor Tolkien's works to the big screen. While I can't say I'm enthralled with every departure from the books, I do feel that, by-and-large, the films are fantastic. I'm very much hoping that he's also able to bring The Hobbit to the big screen.

I don't like Cougars, so you'd better watch your step, Rochelle.

don't worry Rochelle, just a squirt of a water sprizter and some haunting will calm him down...

Hi, I'm new....

Just needed a place to start posting, and thought this might be a good place. I'm a big fan (logically) and have been looking for good LoTRforums since the last I was a member of closed. This seems to be a great place, so I might pop in here from time to time.

Hugs
