How do you imagine other BDers

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I have gained a few new impressions of some Barrowdowners since I last posted on here. All three have been guessed at in past pages; but I think that my images offer a credible challenge to them.

Boromir88: A tall, happy chap with slightly buck teeth. He has long brown hair which is parted in the middle and always looks fairly neat. He wears a red cape with golden stars sewn into it. He is also a conjurer, thus he carries a magic wand. He skips around in a 16th century English jester kind of way. He has the uncanny ability to disappear from dangerous situations.

Lalwende: She barely has a physical presence; I imagine her as a wisp of purple smoke. She has a calming influence over all people, not unlike that of horse tranquilisers, thus she is always brilliant to be around.

Mithalwen: is Amelie.


And for those of you still following debates from about 10 pages ago, I have decided that The Only Real Estel does not actually exist. It's the only logical explanation for the difficulties.

Was that spontaneous or did you read my post saying it was my favourite film?
If so it is a spiritual rather than physical description - being part celt, part valkyrie in appearance, naturally I have always wished that I were a petite brunette.....

OK now I shall delve into the deep recesses of my imagination and see what comes out - probably in direct contradiction of facts that have slipped out during the previous pages.

I think Fordim ought to be content with my image of a younger Indiana Jones in his tweeds and specs..... my own experience of lecturers were that they were spectacularly badly dressed and or unkempt (apart from ones in France who were liable to wear cravats and look like bit part players in a Noel Coward play) . The english ones had a distressing tendancy to polyester or were aiming for a shabby chic look but just looked like tramps.....

So Fordim is basically Indy but ... hmmm 5"11 and prematurely greying at the temples. Since he denies tweed - the jacket must be corduroy or a heavy canvas... cleanshaven, short hair but not quite a buzz cut. Drives an estate car.


Lalwende is short, curvy and completely unable to keep a low profile. I think you definitely notice when she is around. Pocket battleship. Has to wear a suit for work but off duty - velvet, upmarket hippy stuff. Has a slightly quirky car - maybe a KA or a Smart. Ideally she would have a Morris Minor Convertible but needs something newer and more reliable.

Boromir - I see as a bit like a grown up Harry Potter - lanky with specs and hair that doesn't want to stay tidy. Another person who has to be "suited and booted" for work and so the off duty gear is casual but not scruffy - jeans, timberlands, fleece ..... I suspect he is good at keeping a straight face even when something is making him laugh like mad inside. On no account play poker with him. His car.... either a company car or a sportscar

Eomer - is a younger, taller version of Neil Oliver (one of the "Two Men in a Trench").

*swoons with joy*

but ... hmmm 5"11

Not quite.

and prematurely greying at the temples.

Not yet.

Since he denies tweed - the jacket must be corduroy or a heavy canvas...

I don't even own a jacket.

cleanshaven

Usually.

short hair but not quite a buzz cut.

No.

Drives an estate car.

I don't even own a car. What is an estate car?

[Mithalwen]

This could be my worst result since my History A-Level.......

Oh dear - long hair and no jacket/car now means that I no longer think of you as Doctor Jones but as my aging hippy art lecturer cousin.... not a good swap lol.

I believe an estate car is called a Stationwagon in N America.......

I think Mithalwen drives one of those purple cars, and it's a French car. And it has pot-pourri in the ash tray, and it has a reasonable sized boot to cram her shopping bags in, and is always clean (unlike mine).

I didn't mean to be insulting by the way *slinks off guiltily* But where are you going to get a new Panda? I thought they were really difficult to breed?

Sorry, I had to stop this turning all Clarkson.

Oh, I have to describe Hookbill the Goomba since I discovered he's a youthful 'Tull fan! OK -> he's got shoulder length light brown hair, he wears jeans and jumpers, and sturdy boots. He has one of those canvas army bags that are really difficult to get hold of these days, and he draws on it. It is stuffed with books and empty sandwich bags, and he always wears a personal stereo.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Mr. The Barrow-Wight... I wish I hadn't spoke... or typed… or whatever.

[mark12_30]

Hookbill The Goomba may have long brown hair, I don't know. But this I do know: He wears Frodo's orc-helmet.

All the time.

Oh Lal it clearly wasn't my car you borrowed ..... actually I drive 2 cars until they finally decide if they will let the aged parent have his licence back. My own beloved Bertie is a black Fiat Uno G reg and is reasonably tidy at the moment ... the slightly younger Punto is dark red and is a bit of a mobile Skip at the moment. Unless I have loads of stuff I normally shove shopping in the passenger footwell but that is because it means you don't shred bags on the hedge. . That is a myth ... pandas aren't averse to breeding ... just understandably they are not always keen on so doing when observed by Men in White coats ... ....

Give up your guessing, friends, for Gil-galad and Encai have pinned me.

[THE Ka]

And funnily enough, when I think of THE Ka, I always think of a Ford Ka! Bizarre image, yes...and you are now welcome to think of me as a vehicle too.

(Quote by Lalwendë, the car salesperson in disguse...)

Ehk! Ford...Bad... If you want a good prespective, try a dark green BMW or a black Volvo...I love volvos...Except, they are a little trouble with the foot room for me. *Hint: For those still curious and you too Lalwendë, Ka means 'spirit', or 'double self' in ancient Egyptian... Those car corporations always want to look smart...

I might as well be alittle more outgoing...

Someone you sound like: Anjelica Huston, Amanda Palmer...
Someone who was born near your birthplace: Ann Reinking, Graham Swift... If I give away any more i'll be too easy...
Someone who could be said to be 'symbolic' of your county/state?: Chief Seattle...um... Louis and Clark...some more... Karl Marx...
(That last one has to do for our very socialist ideals...)

Ok... I'm done.

~Ka...~

I would like to put a different slant on this one please, and tell you how I imagine myself. I am tall, dark and handsome (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I have shiny long black hair (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I am athletic and powerful (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I ooze sexiness(yeh, a bit like Aragorn), well I do now they have taken all my mirrors away in my asylum.

NOMOREIHERE.

[elronds_daughter]

narfforc, I will believe that when I see it.


Anywhee, I nearly always see THE Ka as her avatar. No matter how much she changes it. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of a gal with light brown hair and grey eyes, about 5'7".

[Oddwen]

It's creepy, but I always see people as their avatars. Nimrodel_9 is especially creepy, because apparently she's the identical twin to Dominic Monaghan.

That is creepy. I guess that would make me someone who was Elijah Wood's (surprisingly younger) identical twin. Oops...did I just mention that out loud? Anyway, pretend I didn't say my relative age. Nowadays I don't have a an avatar, it makes me a ringwraith looking creature in a black out. Or maybe someone who happens to be invisible.

Oh dear. Allow me to incorporate my prior imaginings of THE Ka:

THE Ka was remarkably tall and slender, with hair blacker than coal, shiny and straight, but rather short. THE Ka's eyes were also black, causing the instant second glance of any passers-by. THE Ka's skin was a well tanned gold, and THE Ka wore a rather large amount of gold jewelry.

I'm sure the image this portrays is not that bad, but wait until I get to the next part:

THE Ka tended to be surrounded by his many admirers, slaves, and typists.

Yep, Ka, I only learned about 30 seconds ago that you're female. Sorry 'bout that mate.

Nice try. Pay 25 cents to begin again...
