The Face behind the Pseudonym

[Lush]

Thanks everyone, at least now I'll have a rebuttal for all those times that my "dear" friends tell me "Ach, you are too thin! Ach, you're forehead is too high! Ach, your cheekbones make you look like a corpse!" I'll just say I am a noble-blooded Halfelven and leave it at that.
Maril-I would love to see a pic of you. All I know about your appreance is that you are apparently short. And btw, I currently reside in North Carolina.
Glenethor-I would not compare Stalinist Russia to Mordor, simply because that the spirit there remained despite everything. I am actually at the beginning of a massive undertaking-a book that weaves Russian history with Russian legend & fairy-tale, for my baby brother, who was born in the States. Mayhap he will read it one day, and love Russian history as much as I do, selfish expatriate that I am. I am glad that you are interested in that crazy stuff though; if I do overcome my laziness and look to work on it seriously, can I count on you to offer your opinions?
Maltagaerion-I bow before hikers! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Raefindel-I love red-heads! Why so shy?
Anyone else wish to take that leap of faith and post their picture? I am STILL WAITING for one from Turambar, the apparently not-so-fearless creator of this thread! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
