LotR-sparked relationships - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Morsul the Dark · 08-20-2005, 10:14 AM

Let me see, my girlfriend rather ex-girlfriend....pause.... "ok then lets move along"*

were initially brought to friendship through physics then once we got those conversions out of the way LOTR was a key topic.

but more dominately my friendship with my classmate kaylen or arwen as her nickname is and I amadeous(yes i go by many names, andrew,morsul,amadeous, and by some mantarok) anyway spent our entire acting career(we did the school play together "grease"(i was vince fontaine)) we were friends silly me trying to avoid getting close because my relationship with my ex was good...at that point...and i didn't want to sour it by cheating my parents divorced because my dad cheated and as they say the apple doesnt fall far from the tree...I didn't get her phone number so I havent spoken with kaylen all summer which is disappointing she kept me going through my downs absence of the school year

um yeah My friend Arwen and I got along most on the basis of LOTr so thats what that whole rant boiled down to

I met one of my friends because of LOTR... Actually, he was my older brother's friend who came over for dinner one time. Everybody talked at the dinner table, and afterwards, the friend, my brother and I cleaned the kitchen. Anyways... this guy was talking to my brother about a fantasy roleplaying group he is involved with. My brother was like completely uninterested and told him that I'm the one he should be talking to... I'm the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars freak. The guy was like "You like Lord of the Rings?!" And me... "duh" is an understatement...

So, now I talk to him more than my brother does, and we've talked for hours on end about LOTR. Yeah, he's cool!

Aye, 'tis true. Gil and I talk for a long time, very often. We may well be soul-mates, one never knows. If it hadn't been for the Downs, I would never have met such a wonderful young man. My Secret Canadian Love...

A friend of mine who graduated this May is very into LotR. I don't know if she is a Downer, but she should be. You all would have positively loved her as she is purely a delight. Anyway, she's obsessed with LotR, and I mean obsessed! She's so great. I thought we'd never be like real friends, but I think our mutual love of LotR and her sweetness paved the way. She even shouts at me in public now. One time, we were coming home from a one act play clinic, and she let me wear her Elven brooch on my scarf for hours! I love her; she's so cool! Oh, and for her patch in our drama class quilt, she sewed a perfect leaf brooch out of green cloth and silver thread. Isn't she awesome?!

Relationships in the romantic or general sense? 'Cos if it's the latters... I have wonderful relations with everybody on the Downs cos of LotR.

Arwen Eruantale · 08-21-2005, 09:49 AM

I don't know how many of you will remember me. But, for those of you who do, I'm back... So to speak.

I was teased about a guy I hadn't even met for a couple of years, we all went to the same small church and there was one lady who basically made couples out of the young people for fun.
He was one of those guys who just sort of smoulders all alone in the darkest corner, I'm sure you know the type. People I sort of associated with at the time used to whisper when they talked about him... "..that guy... he's weird...".
So you can imagine my discomfort when my family was invited to his house for dinner.

Somehow we ended up talking after everyone had finished eating, and I found out by degrees how completely foolish it was for me to have believed what everyone else had said about him. In fact, it still embarrasses me that I was ever like that.
Anyway, he'd just recieved the FotR soundtrack for his birthday and asked if I wanted to hear it, so we went up to his room (our siblings were all upstairs taking lego-men apart) and listened to it and talked some more. And I found out that, besides being a really cool guy, he hadn't finished reading LotR yet, but he'd taught himself most of the Tengwar (he even showed me how to write my name with them), and he wrote poetry.
Now he's my best friend, we went to the midnight showing of RotK together with another friend before crashing at my house, and we're in a band together.

I also found out that he's obsessed with swords and knives. So I bought him a replica of Narsil for his birthday last year. And it sits in a place of honour in his bedroom, on the wall between his LotR poster, and the translation of the first few verses of Genesis into Quenya.

stop it...your making me blush...

No relationships or friendships started through LotR or the B-D. They both have, however, brought me and one Wilwa closer as friends. She is the one who showed me this site and I was immeadiatly interested and so I thank her for showing me this wonderful site.

Oh, Gil-Galad, you know it's true. In fact, I've returned to this thread to embarrass Gil and tell you all that I love him madly and am now sure he is my soulmate. We talk on the phone now and are even planning to meet in person in the next few years. And all thanks to the Power of Tolkien!

(I'm officially a member of Gil's Harem, in case you're wondering.)
