Indeed, I know! Ever since I confessed to reading Lord of the Rings in Drama class, people have been asking me to 'play Arwen and Aragorn', 're-enact a fiery eyeball' and all of the sorts. It's annoying. And when I mention Tolkien to my teachers, they point and laugh or yell something about 'all Hobbits must die'. I shall be careful whom I tell in the future (tis like a dark, horrible secret we all share).

I've tried to refer some friends to the site, but I only seem to manage to scare them off. I mostly talk about the werewolf game though (and one of the reasons they are so intimidated might possibly be that I cannot resist muhaha-ing every once in a while when discussing the game). I do have suspicions that there are at least a few who lurk to read my fab contributions. However, most of the people I know who might be remotely interested in this forum are extremely irritating and bad-mannered and I'd rather not have them around. The others would probably start swooning over Orlando Bloom and misspell every other word. Better keep them out. Incidentally, many fans of the movies or books here are familiar with the Barrowdowns website because of the funny name generator!
