I am a dashingly handsome young man, with deep green eyes, tall (but not by Nurunar's standards), with a brilliant intelligence, charming wit, and money like a Rockefeller.

Oh! Wait!

This is the "How do you imagine other BDers?" thread, not the "How do you imagine yourself thread?"

Unfortunately, most people's images are tied to their avatars and/or names. Thus, Estelyn Telcontar is some strange amalgamation of ogre, elf, and princess. A nasty combination, let me assure you. Let's hope she doesn't change to a Dwarf avatar....

The Barrow-wight is a fun-loving, rule-breaking, chatter. He lives in a rather dimly-lit basement, and has a small circle of furry, but devoted friends. (Sorry, that avatar looks too cheerful...)

Fordim Hedgethistle is known to be Canadian, and is known to use good Queen's English. Unfortunately, he is displayed as an Indiana Jones dog, so we come up with a cur of American ancestry (therefore, probably a prairie boy), grew up in the country, inherited a fortune from a British uncle that sent him to Oxford, and is now living in the Toronto area, where he fits in about as well as an ork in Rivendell...

Wow, Feanor, that was a good description!

Feanor, you are like me only shorter hair, lighter skin, and better at drawing.

I picture The Barrow-Wight as my dad.

The Saucepan Man, for some reason, is Rumplestiltskin.

Encaitare is a hobbit dressed up gothic style.

Eomer is an unkempt cave man (as opposed to those well groomed cave men).

Gil-Galad is the little twerp that sits next to me in English.

He, he! Thats really funny! I think it fits too (sorry Saucepan Man), except maybe an abnormaly tall Rumplestiltskin. I can see him prancing around and getting mad right now!!!!

Tolkien SHELOB@#*$&!

You may have just written the funniest post I think I've EVER read!Congratulations! I tried to refrain from being too weird, but after that post I think I shall have to be.

You live in a cardboard box in a dumpster. And I don't mean that in a bad way, you choose to live in a dumpster. You think it smells better than most humans... You have a dog named Jack and he is your best friend, sometimes you blindfold yourselves and have fun trying to walk around without walking into small objects. (You have nothing against large objects.) You enjoy counting to 24, because it is a smashing number, with some lovely digits...

Most of the time you like to go to the zoo and study the monkeys, for that is what you want to be, when you grow up. (Yes, I do mean a monkey, despite the fact that you obsess over penguins.) Sometimes you practice while walking down the street and people think that you are crazy, which is the norm. Sometimes you even sing while doing it... * Rene Descartes was a drunken old fart, I drink therefore I am...*

You understand that 1+1= 10 (NERD!) and you really have a rock fetish. Sometimes you walk around (blindfolded) and find rocks, you keep them in a house, which you bought to live in, but later found that you couldn't squeeze yourself in, because of all the rocks. It's pretty much all you talk about. One time you went to Alaska, (combination of penguins and rocks) and were attacked by a polar bear, (because you were blindfolded.) You also absolutely refuse to be governed by a strange woman lying in a pond.

You like making movies, and are an accomplished director, with such movies as Apricots and Fish and The Tale of the PVA Canoe. (Yes, you do know what PVA is.) Sometimes you ask questions out of context, like, 'what the curtains?' and then laugh histerically about it. Your main inspiration for your movies comes from Star Trek. You actually have a HUGE crush on Leonard Nimoy, mostly because of his "dreamy eyebrows." (Can eyebrows be dreamy?)

Someday you plan on moving into a cave, and wearing a batman suit, so that at night you can drive out of your cave in the batmobile and save the town. (Whatever that town happens to be.) Your favorite book is also Paradise Lost by John Milton, though sometimes it seems that God is a little too piratical...

I don't think it's as funny as your post , but perhaps, we shall see...

Pipe Warning, watch for flying shreds of unrelated information!

Gil-galad: Gil-galad seems to be rather a midget, he owns at least one of the oversized 'Darth Vader helmets' you'll seen in Space Balls, & has often become attached to characters in movies that have less than five seconds of screen time and are never named (see the real Gil-galad himself). Strikes me as the type of guy that would pick most of the toppings off of a slice of supreme pizza, he has probably seen the Prince's Bride more than three times, and burns a lot of music CDs. Unfortunately, Gil gave up his interests in both the tuba and the bagpipes; he now denies that he has ever played a note of music on either. Of course he got rid of the kilt that came with the bagpipes when he sold it to Eomer close to eight years ago. Used to chew his nails pretty badly, but he has licked that habit by now. He doesn't like to have his picture taken very much, but that's not revealing much since hardly anyone does. If I'm not mistaken I have hit very close to the mark.

Yes.

I shall next direct my attentions to... Elennar!

Leny is shortish with blonde hair. She wears cute little glasses, although she wouldn't want anyone to think of her as "cute." She often wears blue in the same shade as her avatar -- incidentally her eyes are that color as well. She likes sandals and flowy skirts.

I laughed a lot to what you thought about me. Not very close. (Sorry, I know you probably were serious about that but still it makes me laugh.) Maybe I should change my avatar, because I don't look like it? (Well it's amazing how much avatars affect.) And yes, I'm planning a raccoon invasion!

You are absolutely right... *dreams of sweet eyebrows*

Last time I forgot to thank all of the other people who tried to render an image of me. I will not tell you which ones are true. Personally I think I look like my avatar, which in case you can't see it, is an iguana wearing a Super-man cape. His name is Super Quincy and he's from the cartoon Foxtrot .

For one thing, TPotSS, I'm amazed that I was right at all about you. Lucky guess, I suppose. But judging that you said I was correct (mostly), and judging by what I did say... You're right about me! *grin*

I've actually recently gotten my hair cut, so it's short enough to cause "Omigod, Fea, why did you cut your hair???" from people who claim to know me, and "Wow, that looks great!" from people who actually do. Judging by the conversation we had in Physics today, my skin tone apparently makes me royalty. As for drawing... most of you saw my dancing jesters avatar (props to Encai), so judge for yourselves.

As for Abercrombie... it seems to be the latest trend to describe you, m'dear. Since I always hated trends, I won't do it.

On to describe Fordim. I can't for the life of me get a feel for what this guy *really* looks like! And so, I'm playing this completely by [pointy] ear. Winging it, you might say. I suppose the closest image I've been able to reach is that of Marcus Brody, the absent-minded (yet lovable) pal of Dr. Henry Jones Sr. and his son Indie. But at heart, Fordie will always be Indiana.

Fea

Tolkien Hope you don't take me too seriuosly...

Oh but Fea it's so fun! Think of all the endless possibilities...

*talking as Fea*

Abercrombie you have 6 toes on one foot and four on the other. Once you tried to chop your extra toe off with a bulldozer to replace the missing one on the other foot. But all you ended up with was no toes and your legs under a bulldozer, which is no help at all.

or

Abercrombie you have a problem with your skin that makes scorpions constantly attracted to you. Sometimes when you're in the shower, you get a flood of scorpions creeping out of every hole possible to crawl all over your skin. I think that the only way to get rid of them it to peel two potatoes and stick one under each armpit, then hop around madly while trying to put on tap dancing shoes...

*not talking as Fea *

See? It's quite extraordinary, and since I'm having so much fun I think I'll describe you too.

Feanor of the Peredhil is an amazing basketball player. She is 7 feet tall and lives in four foot tall house. She tries desperately hard to be a hobbit, but fails miserably. Oh well, sometimes you can't have everything.

You really like to wear hats of all shapes and sizes. Your favorite hat is the one you got when you went to York, England. It is a gigantic viking hat 37 feet wide and 26 feet tall. You spend most of your time in it, because it smells like hamburgers. (Your favorite smell.)

You usually wear sequined clothing, becuase it makes you look shiny and that is very, very important. Sometimes, you carry around a battery pack and a lightbulb and you hang the lightbulb over your head with a specialized crane, so that you have an Aura.

Capitalization is your favorite part of grammar and you capitalize whenever you have a chance. Sometimes, you'll capitilize every single word in a sentence and your teacher will get mad at you. Your brother on the other hand, doesn't capitilize, he uses commas. All the time. Each member of your family has their own special grammatical power. You are the Capitalization Fairy.

hmmm... am I close?

Abercrombie is potentially the strangest looking geek you have ever seen. She has had plastic surgery on both her ears, one to look like an elf ear and the other to look like a Vulcan ear, and she seems to think there is a difference. She once dated an orc, which angered people and so she got into sword fights because of it. They cut off almost all her clothes, which is why she's Abercombie . She tends to mutter 'my precious' when thinking about anything she likes, especially noodles. She also wears those weird contact lenses, the printed kind that make your eyes look like stuff. Hers look like flowers. She smokes a pipe and speaks with a phony British accent. I imagine that she actually resides somewhere in northern Canada, but runs away every few weeks to a more tropical lifestyle in Bermuda. She is rather short, thought she wishes she were taller so that people would stop mistaking her for a dwarf and she has yet to realize that for that to happen, all she has to do is shave off the beard. She also tends to walk up to random people and point into their faces while muttering some random phrase in Elvish. Her hobbies include knitting and nancing around in fields being proud of how pretty she is. She also enjoys getting drunk and singing songs from Monty Python. Her skin is very pale because she never goes outside, and trust me, you never want to see her dance.

Yep, that's Abercrombie all right. Hope I didn't offend you.

*speaking as Fea's real-life alter-ego*

Wow... that is so incredibly wrong that it's hilarious!

*speaking as Fea*

Yep... that's me alright. Well... except that I play soccer, am not particularly tall, have a large house, prefer Elves... Oh, but what I wouldn't give for an aura...

*alter-ego*

Wouldn't this sort of back and forth conversation qualify for discussion in The masks of inscrutability, or are you really you?

*Fea*

Hush, L*... don't go off topic.

Abercrombie of Rohan, you are a size 5, blonde-haired, blue-eyed teenage girl with a crush (which even you can't comprehend) on Jake Gyllenhaal. You've seen Donnie Darko, but didn't really understand it. You like horses, but rarely get a chance to ride. Your favorite school subject is Algebra, but once math reaches the "When will we ever use this?" level, you revert to History. You prefer local history to global, however. You like to paint, but can't stand trying to accurately capture the image, preferring to paint what looks cool instead. Your favourite television show is American Idol, but you also like That 70's Show and The Beverly Hillbillies.

Fea

Tolkien hehe...

U forgot that i luv ORLANDO BLOOM!!!!!XOXOXO!! *swishes her long blonde hair over her back and does her best valley girl impression*

And this is what my name has reduced me to... oh! the horror! the horror!

Malkatoj, spot on! How did you know?

Since I don't want the mods to close this thread down on account of chatting, I will have to post a reply as well. Which victim to choose... Oh! I know! Encaitare, you are the lucky contestant...

Encaitare, you are a child of the clouds. Most of the time you live in a room full of artificially generated mist, caused by the fog machines that you have strategically placed around your room. You always need to be wet, so you had a child kiddie pool installed in your room. It is constantly being refilled by your robot named Marvin.

You are a poetry lover and for most of the time that you spend in your tub, you are reading poetry, Vogon or otherwise.

When you are at school, you live in a bubble filled with specialized air. The air has pureed crystals in it and reminds you of your natural habitat. You usually wear a sign that says, " Don't touch me, I'm molting."

Sometimes you go to the aquarium, actually not sometimes, always. Your favorite exhibit is the starfish, becuase they are stuck to the rocks and you can't for the life of you, figure out how it has happened. sometimes, the security guard (George) escorts you out to the parking lot where you can't find your car, so you just end up taking the blackest looking car.

right?

Gil-Galad spends most of his day sitting in front of his computer playing Tetris whilst wearing a suit of armor.

The Only Real Estel goes about waving his sword at people and muttering something about his notion that the word "captain" should precede his name.
