We found evidence of them being there but none were to be seen, so we looked in this larger hole that was all covered in spider webs. The door mouse had severe misgivings about this but I made us go in. So when we got it the place turned into this boardwalk in a swamp and the whole thing was covered in sticky webs, and then we knew (for some reason) that it was Shelob's lair and we were trying to get out, but we found the exit had turned into the Barrow Downs (like in FOTR) and Bill the pony was there too. Anyway, this really, really creepy wight would not let us pass saying"you shall not pass" and I would say he looked for some reason like The Might. No offense to the Might.

It was soo weird....there was more but it did not have anything to do with BD.
You could tell me at school tomorrow, there is not subject we can't talk about there! And Lauri, the Might is not that creepy looking is he... of course he's no Beautiful!

Then Mith jumped through the window (I say jumped, she mostly just appeared out of nowhere but it looked like she'd jumped from the street into the room) and tried to explain that Lommy was actually the person who had been playing the games longest and that's what she meant by oldest and that Laurinque was the oldest age wise and that's what she meant. But they weren't having any of it and promptly lynched her.

Definitely inspired by Volo's game I think, though I don't know where I got that image of Laurinque from!
I don't know where you got that image from either, cause she's not fifty and her hair is far from black! I should know, I go to school with her!


Well, I had this dream last night that I was going to this cabin place and there was a map and on the inset I there was this diagram and it said The Barrow-Downs, and there was squares marking where this big building was (probably the Great Barrow) and a bunch of other buildings too, and I was marking up and writing where I thought the Great Barrow and other Barrows as well I think maybe mine and Laurinque's... there was more to that dream, but it wasn't Barrow-Downs related... except for Laurinque was there...

Warrior, you have way weird dreams, I not want to know half the dreams you have. And, really I don't mean to be rude but please don't talk about where I go to school on the Downs. You never know, one day we might end up with Thinlómien on our doorstep. No offense Thinlomien...but Warrior should not tell people where I am, not that I think anyone here would chase me down but still.

Was I really in your dream Kath? Amazing, I hope I was not rude.

You were! Um, I don't think you were rude exactly, though you and Lommy were having a good yell.

Kath, that was a very silly dream.

I had some weird ones as well during the weekend.

In one, A Little Green and Aganzir somehow hacked my BD account. They changed my username to Hanni (which is my RL name) and my avatar to a previous avatar of Isabellkya's (the photo of a woman with red frames). They also changed my birth date to November 15th 1996 and my location to "New York". They changed other things as well, but I don't remember what did they exactly do. I just remember I was angry at them. But I think I might have been a little amused as well...

I think it was in a part of that dream that The Might and Legate of Amon Lanc played the guitar in a bus. Nogrod was with them and he was very sad because he couldn't play his piano, because he obviously had been unable to take it to the bus with him.

I also had a dream in which there was some kind of work camp for BDers in Oulu (which is a city in Northern Finland). I think they were constructing some big building or something. There were lots of BDers working in there, but the only ones who I can recall being there for certain were Meneltarmacil, Rune Son of Bjarne and Volo. I tried to call Volo in order to ask more about the work camp but he had switched off his mobile phone.

Hey, that does not sound too bad. Not an unimaginable situation (if TM plays the guitar) - which does not necessarily mean a pleasant situation for the people in the bus. Anyway, Nogrod really plays the piano?

In RL I think I'd rather be one of those playing the guitar... I know the basic chords with piano and can play some easy tunes but guitar and bass are the one's I actually know a bit how to play them.

But I'm not sure if that was somekind of foresight-dream as I have thought lately that it would be great if I had enough money to buy a decent keyboard or a cheap clavier just to learn more of it. I thought about it yesterday the last time. So my daughter is a psychic as well?

I had this dream months ago - just thought I'd post it now because, well, I think it's kind of cool:
There was an evil scientist who lived and worked in a huge building (which looked very much like the University of Bielefeld); and my two older daughters and I were charged with the mission of destroying some diabolical project he was working on. Although we never saw him, I pictured him as Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. So we broke into the ...University...at night, and found it was patrolled by giant talking Rottweilers (the size of elephants.)
The girls...who had turned into Lommy and Brinniel...escaped out the window, but I fell down the stairs into the basement. I then ran up another stairway and found myself in a series of what looked like high school gymnasiums, where people were playing soccer..er, football...in the dark. I ran through the midst of them, and after going through three such rooms, I came to the fourth which was much more crowded and appeared to have a rock concert going on, complete with mosh pit and crowd surfing.
I ran back out through the same door, but suddenly the lights were on and my Art History prof from last semester was standing there. She was very angry with me for some reason, and forbade me to class the next day (probably because my mission failed...)

New York, eh? It's a sign - all downers are being drawn to New York. You can't resist the call forever!

Last night I had a dream about the latest WW game. I was in this huge arena covered with sand, and I was fighting someone who looked like Brinniel's avator. As I was fighting her, the Saucepan Man and Hookbill the Goomba jumped down from the stadium and started to through Newspapers at us.

Then, after the fight, someone was getting married to Nogrod. When they both said I do Thinlomien started screaming and jumped up and down. Then Volo yelled at her to be quiet and that she was disturbing the peace, then he shot her!

I woke up smiling!
