Is there a pun in there somewhere?

Forget studying; posting at the BDs is much more important.

Good luck with those exams!

Yep. All that learning will just get them into trouble. And now that PJ has made the 'books' into 'movies,' there's no longer any reason for my children to learn readin' anyways.

Some guy once said, "ignorance is bliss," and I just want my chidren to be happy. And if it's not on TV, just how important can it be?

In some perverse ways I find myself in complete agreement with that.

See? Just put your brain on hold and it all just starts making sense.

Mmmm, let's see.

Lalwende is definitely one of my favourite redheads, as well as my favourite photographer (as I already mentioned, davem's picture is gorgeous).

I'm obsessed with Aina's haircut. Favourite accessory is currently a tie between Heren's bandana and Elennar's flowers.

And Mad Baggins is most effortlessly chic.

So there.

Woho I'm glad that at least someone still knows me. And phantom, I have to confess that I've forgotten about our deal, but it came to my mind again when I read about it in your post... I guess I'd have been rather surprised if you were standing in front of my door and saying "it's me, phantom... finally"


And I made a mistake, I wrote that "Helka" should remember me, though I meant
HerenIstarion, don't ask me why I confused the names, but well, it's been a while...

And I always said and keep telling her that Lush is quite a hottie, too *harrrr*

And phantom since I live in Austria, I'm nearer to Dancing spawn of ungolianth.

Hey ho,
I guess most of you won't know me since I'm not very active at the moment (my last post was about a year ago). Well, at least Helka should know me since he is one of the old regs too .
anyways, I sent Tigerlily a new, more recent picture. Hope you like it.

edit: I wonder why no one has mentioned yet that dancing spawn of ungoliant is quite cute, too

I remember you.

If I recall, we had a deal that if I could find you, you would give me free room and board for the year.

It's been a long time. Welcome back.

Her pic went up when she and I were conspiring werewolves (see ME Mirth if you're confused) so I just tacked on my comment about her pic to a pm.

So, I mentioned it, just not right here on the thread.

She rejected my marriage proposal, though. I was quite disappointed. She said something about "but you're in Nebraska and I'm in Finland, plus I've never met you".

I just don't understand her reasoning.

But honey, you must understand that if you want to make a pack of cubs, the distance might be an issue...


I thank you all for your kind comments and for boosting my egocentrism !

Red or Dead?

Is it my imagination, or do the Barrowdowns harbour more than their fair share of redheads?

Going way back to Alatar's post on the previous page...The pun was unintended. I didn't realize I had made one untill you mentioned it

Yes, that's reasonable. Now I'll just have to imagine you with blue long hair and really pale skin
