what would you do as an elf - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If I was an elf I'd take a photo of myself to prove I had pointy ears and solve the argument on this poll

Call it overly serious of me if you like, but I'd spend all day speaking in Quenya and Sindarin, just for the heck of it. Then I'd sit down and use my linguistic powers to master Latin, German, French, Greek, and maybe Old Mercian...

Just because I've always liked languages, but have been to lazy to bother learning them.

Then I'd go trim my beard.

Yeah, my ELVEN beard. (Think Thranduil and Cirdan.)

I would spend most of my time trying to woo Galadriel.

(oops just realized we aren't on middle-earth).

Ok, I'll pull an Arwen/Aragorn, and telepathically cyber with Galadriel, in attempts to woo her.

I would become a supermodel and earn loads of money, then go to vegas to exploit my mind reading skill to further advantage.... then really annoy everyone even more by going skiing without needing skis, and finding out everything due to acute hearing and eyesight

..... then go and live in a forest with a magic birdbath....

I would control Seattle... Allowing as many protesters to terrorize the city, Turn the whole city into a forest, get rid of pink (though it's not common up here...

) and have the streets play Rasputina, Belle&Sebastian, David Bowie and Dresden Dolls endlessly... Also, I would find a Boromir-look-alike and make him my pet. Then, all the hobo's and I would have a ballroom party and maybe we would invite everyone else. Of course, David Bowie would come and have a concert and the tickets WOULD NOT be sold out! Then, I would give him Queen Anne Hill and make him the Goblin King. Before I forget, All theatres (Movie and live performance) would play Hedwig and the Angry Inch and The Life Aquatic (BOWIE IN PORTUGUESE!!! Ahh!)

Getting back would be another story, I would most likely be like elrond and throw frequent "serious councils"

inviting all to find someone and put them in their representative chair. Then I think we would have coffee and lembas.

Yep. Sounds wonderful. Don't you think?

Start a REAL Society for Nearsighted Elves. (Hee hee.)

I'd probably just march around with the "Better Than Thou" attitude, looking down my perfect elven nose at all the pathetic round-eared puny mortals. Yeah. That'd rock. And then I'd use my perfect elven bow skills to see if elves really CAN shoot a bird's eye in the dark. And then I'd probably feel so bad for the now-blind bird that I'd go into mourning and sail across the ocean trying to find the Gray Havens. I'd probably end up in Hawaii, though. Not that that's a bad thing.

mmmm I may look down my elven nose at pathetic mortals but I would hope that I would be wat I always imagined most elves to be. Wise, kind, gentle (save to enemies),learned, helpful.

Of course, I could be danerous to anyone I disliked, snobby, prissy, AND, I would fight off with sword, spear and bow all the construction workers around here who cunt down tons of trees.
