discussing the photo album

[Ithrynluin]

Here is one happy Elgee posting a picture of herself and her lovely new fiancee!!!

New fiancé? What happened to the last one? That desert in the back seems suggestive! :D

Seriously though, it's good news that he made it back safely, and I wish you the best of luck.

[Maeglin]

Great pic HLG. One question though...is the marine really tall, or are you really short? :p

[AraCelebEarwen]

Great pic HLG. One question though...is the marine really tall, or are you really short? :p
Well, actually, he is quite tall and she's only about as tall as I am... which is why she learned rather well how to walk in high-heals. :)

Very good picture girl. And what a wonderful setting! ;) =^.^=

hmm... The hansom worrier prince and his enchanting little fay. *giggle and runs off with the idea*

[HLGStrider]

Great pic HLG. One question though...is the marine really tall, or are you really short? :p

I'm five foot four. Matt is six foot five. The math is quite imposing, but we manage.

Tsk, Ithy, that's a beach not a desert!

[Barliman Butterbur]

"One question though...is the marine really tall, or are you really short?"

LOL! :D That's what I was wondering.

Barley

[Gandalf White]

Only your second daquari??? Dear god, that is low tolerance!!! :D

[HLGStrider]

My usual limit is a glass of wine. I get giggly really fast . .. which saves me from getting too drunk because I am laughing too hard to drink, so I never get symptoms past what Matt calls the "buzzed" stage.

Actually, my previous very buzzed night as at the party where I was meeting Matt's extended family and had two glasses of wine (I say two, he says it was more like one and a quarter because both glasses were too small to count as much more than half a glass) . . . That was interesting.

[Ingwë]

Elvenstar, you posted a great picture. I love Star Wars and... you are very beautiful :rolleyes: :D
I'm looking at your photo album right now. You have many nice pictures :)

[Thorondor_]

Err, I don't see the link to the attached images when I am logged; when I am not logged in, I can see the link, but I can't access it. There is the workaround of saving the location of the images and accessing them after logging in, but I am sure the mods can make this less challenging :).

[Elvenstar]

Elvenstar, you posted a great picture. I love Star Wars and... you are very beautiful :rolleyes: :D
I'm looking at your photo album right now. You have many nice pictures :)
Thanks, Ingwë :)
Checkout the Photoalbum on the Forum - I posted some more :))

[baragund]

Maeglin, you must know by now that the ladies like men who know their way around a kitchen!:cool:

But I must say you look kind of scary with the vegetable knife!

[HLGStrider]

If anyone is interested I posted some wedding pictures. Also started keeping a sporadic blog on military wife life at
www.freewebs.com/hlgstrider (http://www.freewebs.com/hlgstrider)

[Rhiannon]

Wedding pictures! Whee!

[HLGStrider]

Oooh, I want a superheroine costume. Nice . . .

[chrysophalax]

Interesting, Miss I. You look like your avatar!

[Ithrynluin]

Okay. Even though I'm really nervous about everyone here seeing me, I've decided to post a picture anyways... (I almost always leave the redeye in my pictures, it makes me look evil, which I think is amusing. :p)

You remind me somewhat of Evangeline Lilly. May I call you Freckles? :p

[Firawyn]

Why be nervous Miss I? You're freaking georgous.

Fir-

[Miss Insanity]

Oh jeez you guys! :rolleyes: I'm so flattered. Thank you, Fira, *blushes*. I feel very sheepish now. And yes, you may call me freckles, Ithry, but only if I can come up with a semi-embarassing nickname for you too. :p

PS: I know, chrys! That's why I like that avatar so much. :D

[Narya]

They are right! You are gorgeous, Miss I! You should make everyone here want to be Mr. Insanity! I think freckles are very cute... :D

[Miss Insanity]

They are right! You are gorgeous, Miss I! You should make everyone here want to be Mr. Insanity! I think freckles are very cute... :D

Haha! Awww, that's so sweet of you. *Blush* Hmmm... Perhaps I should find someone who's worthy of being Mr. Insanity. :p

[Ingwë]

@Ingwe: I NEVER pictured you like that. Good pic though.:D

If you mean the tree and the light... It is Photoshoped :D It should be my 'epic' version :rolleyes: Thank you :p

[baragund]

Yay, you look so, um, normal! Not at all what I pictured.:o

[Narya]

Well, Baragund, if the picture surprised you (about YAY), you should hear his voice. It was not what I expected. :p

To Miss I, I'm pretty sure you'd be getting many offers (if you're not getting them yet, hehehe!) very soon. :D

We have so many nice pictures in the album lately. Majimaune... I didn't expect you to be so young! Nice pic!

Noldor-Returned, I like your friend's hair! Nice pic!

[YayGollum]

*staggers backwards* Ah, do what? Normal? Myself? My next picture shall include my demon horns, my double-jointed legs behind my head, and probably a couple of new kittens.

[Majimaune]

Love that guys hair. I now know why you said the a teacher sent him outside and told him to get it cut.

[baragund]

*staggers backwards* Ah, do what? Normal? Myself?

I know, I know. I'm so sorry...

Well, Baragund, if the picture surprised you (about YAY), you should hear his voice. It was not what I expected.

What?? Don't tell me Yay doesn't draw out his "s's", make every fifth word "my precious", and sound just like Andy Serkis!:eek:

[HLGStrider]

I had to get online just to double check the pictures, but Rhi, you have a double running around San Diego. A girl came into the store the other day to get a coffee and I could swear she was you. Knowing So Cal doesn't agree with my knowledge of your past locations I didn't do anything to investigate, and wasn't cashiering so I didn't really talk to her, but she could've been your twin sister.

Weird. Weird. Weird.

[Majimaune]

I'm disappointed. Your not in costume. If you go to the midnight screening then your a nerd and have to ware a costume. Its the rules. Trust me I know, I have a friend who did it.

[yhwh1st]

I took a Darth Vader mask but didn't end up wearing it. I figured going in my pj's was good enough. If you check out my feet you'll see I'm in fuzzy slippers. :)

[Majimaune]

Ahh yes... I guess thats the ewok part...

[Majimaune]

That is pretty cool Meg. I have decided after going to Luna Park today and seeing a photo of me with my hair flung back by the wind that I need a hair cut.

[Noldor_returned]

Lol nah it's not that long...and if it is dreads!!! Maybe...

[Majimaune]

Hey we haven't seen each other for about a month so it has grown a bit. Liveable though. Nothing like it was a year ago.

[Noldor_returned]

lol I remember that...had to ponytail it to keep it out of your eyes in cricket...my hairs getting quite long too. A semi-afro.

[Majimaune]

Yeah I reckon with your hair it would grow to a certain length and then just flop down.

[Noldor_returned]

lol yeah as I said the other day give me a vest and then as you said let my hair get longer I'd be the guy from Wolfmother. Be pretty funny mayhaps to get a photo of that...sounds like something for me to do.

[Majimaune]

Simple. Don't cut your hair.

[Miss Insanity]

I'm going to upload some new pictures now! :cool: Everyone have a look so you can tell me how horrible I look.:o

[Elvenstar]

I just LOOOVE the way you look! :D
really!! especially, on the 2nd pic - u and your friends are kind of models there... :cool:
PS are u Irish?

[Miss Insanity]

Ohhh thank you! :p (Embarassment). I'm not Irish, I'm actually Canadian. My red hair - which I'm assuming is why you asked ;) - comes from my European Jewish ancestry. My mother has it too, but neither of my brothers do as they inherited my father's brown hair and slightly darker complexion.


I just saw your pictures and you look stunning! Especially in that first picture. That dress is beautiful, and looks so good on you. I love the way it flows. But I mean you look like a princess or something there the way you're glowing :p

(Jealousy)


Anyways, thanks for the kind comments. <3 Talk to you later. :cool:

[Elvenstar]

Thaaaaaaanks a lot!!!!!! :D:D:D

I love the color of your hair and your freckles - they are soooo sexy :p

[Miss Insanity]

Thaaaaaaanks a lot!!!!!! :D:D:D

I love the color of your hair and your freckles - they are soooo sexy :p

Oh no! Don't make me blush. :o:o

[yhwh1st]

*sung to the tune of Smelly Cat*

Jealousy. Jealousy.
Why am I feeding you?
Jealousy. Jealousy.
It's all your fault!

Both of you are so photogenic! I hate nearly every picture of myself. You know what? I actually haven't had anyone take a picture of me for almost two years.

*wanders off in search of a photo she likes*

[Elvenstar]

Miss Insanity,

:)

yhwh1st,

I think, you are too self-critical - there definitely ARE a lot of pix where you look great! ;)

[yhwh1st]

Miss Insanity,

:)

yhwh1st,

I think, you are too self-critical - there definitely ARE a lot of pix where you look great! ;)


:o Thanks. I just posted a new one. Yes, it's really me. ;)

[Majimaune]

Hey nice pic Meg. Its quite good. How long ago was it?

Hey Miss Insanity. You know the one that you posted that is of you painting shapes on a wall. Yeah well the one marked diamond is actually called a rhombus *Has a realisation that he actually listens at school*

[Miss Insanity]

Hey Miss Insanity. You know the one that you posted that is of you painting shapes on a wall. Yeah well the one marked diamond is actually called a rhombus *Has a realisation that he actually listens at school*

Ha! I didn't notice that. I just painted the circle and the word "Shapes".:p


Also, great picture Meg. Takes me back to being a kid.


PS: I put up yet another picture. This is me and my older brother. He's a great guy, but he kind of stays distant now that he's married. It's a great picture of him though, because he normally doesn't smile for photos. Managed to catch him off his guard I guess. :p

[HLGStrider]

Second one is me with my best friend, who I'll probably end up married to if I don't marry my current girlfriend.


Good to know you're keeping your options open. . . :D

[Firawyn]

Notes on recent updates for the photo album!

@Maeglin - do I sense a thing for blonds?!;)

@ Miss I - You are very beautiful. The camera loves you.

@ Meg - my gosh that reminds me of a picture I have of me where I'm sitting at the table absolutely COVERED in spaghetti sauce. He,he! :D

@ Maj - oh you are ever dashing...:cool:

[Maeglin]

@Maeglin - do I sense a thing for blonds?!;)


Well actually, I have dated 2 brunettes, 1 blond, and 1 redhead in my short life, and the girl I'm currently dating is a brunette. So I'd have to say I'm a fan of all hair colors....except gray (at least at this age) ;):D

[Firawyn]

Haha, you sound like a rather open-minded guy.

Now, how many of those girls had natural hair color, or were they dyed? :D

[Majimaune]

@ Maj - oh you are ever dashing...:cool:Why thanks. :D

[Majimaune]

Well I guess it's about time I put a pic up of me with my girlfriend...soon will be my school formal (that's "prom" for all you Americans)Nice jacket :P I will have some more pics soon, from musical (Pirates Of Penzance, so I will be a pirate) and then from my formal.

[Ithrynluin]

Okay, it's been a while. Here's a recent one:

Barley

That photo reminds me of the way some Hanna-Barbera cartoons used to end. You know, I've know all along you're a cartoon character. :p

[Firawyn]

Elbereth, where were you in that last pic you posted? I see Egypt in the background! :D

(mind you, I've been obsessed with Egypt since I was 12) :eek:

[Elbereth]

Elbereth, where were you in that last pic you posted? I see Egypt in the background! :D

(mind you, I've been obsessed with Egypt since I was 12) :eek:

The picture was taken in a club in NYC called "Tuts". As you can see the club had an Egyptian theme, complete with Belly dancers and hookahs. We puffed on a Vanilla and rum flavored hookah...it was very cool!

[Firawyn]

Ohhh hooka is the bomb. I experienced that for the first time last summer...ironically in NYC.

Is hooka a NYC thing or can you get it elsewhere? Do you know?


@Maj -

Is that your girlfriend, per chance? ;) :p

[Majimaune]

@Maj -

Is that your girlfriend, per chance? ;) :pShe is more of my girl. Not girlfriend yet. Neither of us can handle a relationship right now though we do want to be with each other. When we were together last night I said I was "on lay-buy" for her. I get a few people flirting with me at work so when I tell her everything that comes up and that is how I put myself. Does that make sense?

[Elbereth]

Ohhh hooka is the bomb. I experienced that for the first time last summer...ironically in NYC.

Is hooka a NYC thing or can you get it elsewhere? Do you know?


@Maj -

Hookah is not a NYC thing. The hookah has been around for generations, primarily in the middle east, but not exclusively. (I admit at the moment I cannot give you a better history, as I have no time to go searching the web for such a thing). I remember the hookah best from "Alice and Wonderland"...if you can recall, the catepillar was puffing from a hookah on top of the giant mushroom.

[Durin's Bane]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah

[Runyadur]

Hookah is it? I had never heard that before!
In Greece we call it "nargile". We probably got the name from turkish as the nargile is very common there
Great threads by the way, I just found out about the photo album :rolleyes:
It's funny putting faces to people you've only known through discussions on the net ;) :D

[Ithrynluin]

My son. He is 4 months old.

He looks like an all around wonderful bloke. ;)

I see a daredevilish glint in his eyes. Clearly he takes after his uncle Ivan. :cool:

[HLGStrider]

Looks like he'll cause trouble and then be too charming for punishment. . .careful with that one.

[Nóm]

Before I knew I was having a boy I had been hoping for a daughter for the sole reason that I didn't want a son to take after the male side of my family. They are that bad! :eek: Hopefully he will have inherited his father's temperament. Otherwise I will may be completely gray by the time I'm 35!

From the time he was born everyone said he looks like his father and not me, so maybe that is a good sign.:D I did have one girl say he looks like me, but when she seen his dad she changed her mind real fast. :rolleyes:

But now that he is here I wouldn't have him any other way, he's such a neat little guy. Now I understand why everyone makes such a big deal about babies... I never got that before.

Now I find myself noticing every baby I see in public, and kind of guessing how close they are to my son in age. And when i see a mother with a tiny newborn I think "Man I hope she has someone helping her out at home so she can sleep and take of herself too!"

The file name (made my by brother's girlfriend) has his name spelled wrong by the way. It is one L.

[Nóm]

Wow HLG! Your little girl is growing like a weed too. It seemed like mine didn't stay teeny-tiny as long as I expected him to. They are changing all the time.

[HLGStrider]

I know . . . soon it'll be food with a spoon and having to move everything onto higher shelves. Rolling over is her new trick. So many places I can't leave her now.

[Prince of Cats]

Congratulations to our mothers and fathers here!

Ingawe, cute assistants - but are they your assistants or your girlfriends :D Around here in government if you have your arms around teenage girls ya gonna get sued :p Of course, by the third picture I think that won't be a problem over there

Majimaune, now that you do have a face I think you need to change your title! :rolleyes:

Baragund, rowing on a track looks too fun, I'd like to feel that wind in my face

Ciryaher, stay safe and smile next time http://www.thetolkienforum.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

[HLGStrider]

Military guys don't smile for cameras, at least Marines don't seem to. As Cir is in the Army, maybe he'll correct me on that branch . . . Even in my husband's off duty shots its all about the "tough" look. Bad #$# as he puts it. I should ask Matt if that is official protocol or if it's just attitude.

[Nóm]

My brother got that way in prison. If you look at his photos from when he first got locked up he smiles and then gradually during his first few months his face gets more stern and his stance more tough-guy looking. But when we visited him he grinned and goofed off like normal, just not for pictures.

[Ciryaher]

Technically, you're not supposed to smile in "official" photos (which that is). I tend to have a perpetual frown as my neutral expression, even though I am a person who laughs at just about everything even remotely funny :D

[Nóm]

I tend to have a perpetual frown as my neutral expression, even though I am a person who laughs at just about everything even remotely funny :D
Me too. And people are always asking me "whats wrong?", thinking I am angry or upset. People constantly tell me to smile more often. I just tell them that I smile as often as anyone, but my normal look isn't happy. Gets annoying.

[Ingwë]

Ingwe, cute assistants - but are they your assistants or your girlfriends :D Around here in government if you have your arms around teenage girls ya gonna get sued :p Of course, by the third picture I think that won't be a problem over thereHaha. They're nothing more than assistants... yet :D /me hides
They're my age (even the very short one), so I am not worried about getting sued ;)

[Firawyn]

I'm trying to think of one of friends (on or offline) who don't have kids, or aren't expecting...

Humm....

One. I can think of one. Baby boomers. :p

[Prince of Cats]

You can call me your friend and then ya do ;)

[Firawyn]

Okay, Prince. You are my friend! (and I yours as well) :)

[Majimaune]

Count me in too Fir and that gives you two.

[Firawyn]

Aww...thanks! I feel loved. *grin* You guys are great.

[chrysophalax]

Nice touch with the Star Wars T-shirt, Fir. Is it just me, or does Yay look a little like a worried James Blunt in that pic? I hate you have to cut your hair again, dude! What a shame!

[Illuin]

Well, I don’t have many pictures (hate photos, usually run), and I don’t have any kids- but my family did have a little get together last summer so I guess I can post some of them, but I can’t seem to figure out how to post photos (duh) :confused: .

[HLGStrider]

Underneath the box where you type the text of your message are "additional options." Among these is a manage attachments button. Click on that. Either browse through your computer files with the browse button or type in the file name and then select upload. Once the upload is complete just click submit reply as usual.

[Illuin]

Thanks Strider, I really appreciate the help. By the way, how do you do the “thumbnail” trick? I would rather not take up space within the thread with big photos (that are goofy anyway). Yuk, I hate photos, but I have to admit it is nice to “see” who you are talking to I guess :o

[Majimaune]

As you put it the "thumbnail trick" happens automaticly on this forum.

[Firawyn]

Yes, we love vB! :D

Chrys, yeah, he does look a bit like James Blunt. lol.

[Majimaune]

Ah but Fir, on another forum that I frequent it at least used to be on vB and has never had the automatic making pictures into thumbnail thing.

[Illuin]

Thanks a lot folks. That was actually far easier than I expected thanks to your help. Sometimes I sweat over nothing with the ominous computer. Indeed, vB kA :) .

[Firawyn]

Ah but Fir, on another forum that I frequent it at least used to be on vB and has never had the automatic making pictures into thumbnail thing.

Ah but Maj, I do believe that in the administrative features on vB, the thumbnail feature is optional, and only became available with a recent update. Your other forum may have a) not had the updated software, or b) simply chosen to not activate that particular feature. ;)


We'd have to ask Dave.

[Ingwë]

We'd have to ask Dave.Naah, it has been on since I joined this forum and perhaps this is the best way. Noone wants large pictures, even though nowadays our connection speed is not what it used to be :cool: The admin can chose to enable or disable it, so I guess the other forum just had this feature turned off.

[Prince of Cats]

YayGollum threw me off because I was expecting Gollum :P - Looks more like a Strider. And Firawyn of course looks gorgeous

Illuin thanks for the fun picture of your Auntie
:D

[YayGollum]

Ick. No nasssty Strider. One of few not swayed by poor Smeagol's evil pity power. Difficult to not admire. Argh. I had to cut my hair, anyways. *looks at pictures again* The Firawyn person is gorgeous? Hm. Ah, but I am asexual, anyways. :rolleyes:

[Firawyn]

Guys! *blushed profusely*

[Illuin]

Hey POC -

Just curious about that far away from everything place in the pic. Reminds me of areas in the Lake Tahoe vicinity. Nice.

[Prince of Cats]

Illuin: It's about as far north in Saskatchewan, Canada as you can get. They call it the land of thin sticks

HGL: Your photo size makes it hard to make you out, but your little girl is so cute you must be Melian ;)

[HLGStrider]

Actually, my little girl gets most of her looks from this guy, eyes, coloring, the fact that she is growing much too big too fast (her dad can be six foot five, but I want her to stay little much longer than she is willing to do so)

Mouth is mine, maybe the nose, but that's about it with her.

[Prince of Cats]

HLG, You two look great together! I hope me and mine look so happy (and skinny!) after child

I just added a picture of me in the Grand Canyon - What do I look like, more elf or man? I love bombadil but I'm afraid I don't fit his usual depiction :o

[HLGStrider]

I don't often see geology and political science combined . . . I guess unless you are investigating run off effecting agriculture effecting zoning or something like that. . . but I digress.

More Hobbit than Elf or Man, thin Hobbit, though, but you look a little too mischievous to be an elf and a little too impish to be a man.

[Prince of Cats]

Mischievous and Impish, I'm purring :D Haho!

As for the class, the politics was mostly concerning dam building: ecology vs economy

[Narya]

FIR AND YAY MET UP FOR REAL! Okay, now I really wanna go to Florida! :D You guys--that was an AWESOME pic! And Yay, your nose doesn't look that big. It's average american.

And yes, FIR--you are GORGEOUS! My goodness! Wow!

Oh, by the way, Cir, is that like your Graduation pic? Nice one, too!

[YayGollum]

Well, I am now in Rochester, New York, and the Firawyn person is now in some state in the southwest. What was it? Arizona or New Mexico.

Anyways, *scratches nose* not many Americans seem to agree. Hm. But mayhaps I exaggerate? Ah, but my lips are huge! So nasssty and blubbery. Simply my worst feature. :rolleyes:

Also, I expressed concern at the Firawyn person's thinness, actually. I am plenty asexual, though, so maybe I just don't know what's what. :confused:

lol! Stop saying those crazy things about yourself.

[YayGollum]

Argh! My lies are undone via the Narya lady's clarity! You are correct. I am not in Rochester, New York. I am actually in my living room.

As well as, Garn! My semblance of ignorance on the Firawyn person's location was inadequate! She is in the Tucson, Arizona area.

*pants* Plenty of Americans have said the same thing that you did about my nose. My evil father's is bigger, but I have been oftimes referred to as his clone.

And my lips aren't my worst feature. My blinding arrogance is.

*runs away* :rolleyes:

[HLGStrider]

In middle school I was told I had no idea what a handsome guy was by everyone who found out that I had a crush on the tall, skinny guy who I would marry a little under a decade later, so I rarely tell a guy he is good looking, but I can tell you, Yay, that your nose is definitely not big. Your lips it is hard to tell because of that somewhat pouty expression . . .

Is it just my computer or is that first picture of Fir and Yay a little bit blurry?

[Narya]

I think its the pic. it is blurry.

SEE, T, I am right about your NOSE.

[YayGollum]

*looks back at the pictures* Ah. I see. Those pictures weren't good enough. They didn't show off my awesome profile. The nose would have more substance there. Anyways, hey, that Firawyn person is totally wearing a Star Wars shirt! And you can see a blur on her left arm that is supposed to be a J. R. R. T. tattoo. Myself, merely disgruntlement. :rolleyes: I should have had my YayGollum sign up. I should have shown people how double-jointed my legs are. But oh well. The Firawyn person had to go home.

I can't see the tat. Were those pics taken at your place or another place?

[YayGollum]

A blur on the left arm. Entirely visible. Pictures taken at my new place. My living room, with a view of something beyond. A kitchen? The Firawyn, mayhaps fearing vampiric attacks after seeing how pale my skin is, never invited me into her place. It didn't look that great, anyway. :rolleyes:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Vampiric attack?

[YayGollum]

Dang. Now I am forgetting to insert wordses. I would have written, "the Firawyn person," but I can't, because the Narya lady already quoted me. oh well. Yes. Vampiric attack. Vampires are the second most scary of all scary type thingses. Zombies are first, of course. Vampires would be the most evil, though. And so sickeningly as well as senselessly popular! Makes no sense. There's a regular human, he gets infected, then gets a personality transplant. Either the old personality is discarded or blended with a demonic one, or the virus somehow messes with his brain, making him forget how awesome being a human was, making him think that being undead is somehow better. Sure, there are some perks, but it's still a fate worse than death. Um. Yes, I have pale skin. This should have been in the Real Life Rantings thread, but oh well. My face is red from it being a hot day and me moving boxes and things. I hate vampires and am sleepy.

[Firawyn]

Always a pleasure to walk in a room and discover you are being avidly discussed. lol Um, yeah, the pic of Yay and me is blurry, because it was a camera phone since neither of us possess a real camera. Darn.

And Yay I do not fear vampire attacks. My house was just trashed with the process of packing. I, being a neat freak, don't like people seeing my messes! :eek:

Vampires are cute anyway. And werewolves. I am particularly fond of creatures that most people don't believe exist! ;)


Fir-


PS...Yay, I hate to brake it to you, but you nose and your ears never stop growing...so you may get your dad's nose after all. :rolleyes:

What model of phone and what brand is it? If it's a Nokia or an Asus phone I can help you tweak it a bit so that the pictures come out better.

Ayayay! He's rubbed off on you! (messes-- lol!) :D

Have you checked out Twilight?



Yay, I hate to brake it to you, but you nose and your ears never stop growing...so you may get your dad's nose after all. :rolleyes:


I'm sorry, but is his Dad's nose that bad? :(

[Firawyn]

Narya,

It's Verizon.

People don't rub off on me, I rub off on them. ;)

Heard of Twilight, never seen. Don't have cable.

Yay's dad's nose? I don't know. He just commented about how people say he got his dad's nose, but his was smaller. *shrug*

[Narya]

Narya,

It's Verizon.

Is it an Ericsson phone? Or Samsung? Or Siemens?




Yay's dad's nose? I don't know. He just commented about how people say he got his dad's nose, but his was smaller. *shrug*

Yeah, he says that often. Anyway, great pic! You looked awesome! I would love to see a clearer pic of your tat though. :)

[YayGollum]

Eh. I don't mind that my nose will get larger. Do I not usually write of it in an awesome light? Small noses are so unimpressive! *thrusts nose skyward, bumps the lamp* Anyways, vampires and werewolves cute? Craziness. I could understand the things being seen as interesting or some such, but not cute. Especially vampires. Concealing their beastly natures, using evil brain powers on people, piercing flesh, sucking blood, unable to eat garlicky foods. Hm. But then, a coffin for a bed does sound comfy. Nice and solid, so nothing can wake you up. Nice and dark. Nah. Not spacious enough.

[Narya]

*thrusts nose skyward, bumps the lamp*


Who are you, Pinocchio? lol!

Eek with the sleeping inside coffin thing.

For vampires, I don't like them either. Werewolves? Don't know... what about Werecats?

But... they now have the "California King-size" model available. I've already got my order in :p.

:eek:

no.


just...


no.


*cringe*

[YayGollum]

I have heard of coffins that are spacious. Mayhaps. They are too expensive, anyways. Beds are, too. I'll stick to the floor and blankets. Anyways, I forget if, back when stories were still written when vampires slept in coffins, they for some crazy and magical reason had to sleep there, or if they were just doing it because they thought it was funny that they sort of conquered death.

Towards werethings, werebears are the best. Yay Beornings! I am not a large fan of werewolves, since I am not a large fan of any canine, but at least they are honest, unlike vampires. Werecat legends are less populous. I find it presumptuous. Cats are cats and awesome. Why combine them with boring old humans?

Also, to tie in with discussing photographs, ah, Yay for that porcupine kitten shown by the Illuin person! I'd take cats. I think that I'm allowed to, at this place. Or was that shown in another thread? oh well.

[Prince of Cats]

Were-cats still exist tho :)

[HLGStrider]

Werecats exist not because cats wish to be human but because humans wish to be cats.

I've longed for retractable claws for so long.

[Narya]

Werecats exist not because cats wish to be human but because humans wish to be cats.

I've longed for retractable claws for so long.

lol! Me too. :D By the way LG, that baby is beautiful! I love the hair!

And Prince of Cats, I love the pic of you by the water! It looks so serene! And you look good yourself. :D Were you fishing?

[Prince of Cats]

Yes, Elgee, I don't see a cat wishing to be a human :D

Yep, Narya, I was up there fishing :) And thanks for the kind complement!

[Narya]

Yep, Narya, I was up there fishing :) And thanks for the kind complement!

You're welcome. What kind of fish are found in that ... is that a river or lake?

[Prince of Cats]

It's a very big lake with lake trout & walleye for eating :) Also caught pike & grayling. Do you fish?

As you said, the whole trip was serene. The forests were so much different than the ones I walk here, but just as fascinating. The sun came up and landed much earlier and later, creating a 18 hour overcast. One of the few times the sun was visible I took a photo of (off the water) and its just barely peeking out of the fog & smoke wall (there were 5 forest fires along the banks of the lake but we were on an island)

No I unfortunately don't fish :(, but I love fish.

[Prince of Cats]

Hey Firawyn,

What's your tatoo mean?

[Gilthoniel]

Don't hurt me for being wrong... But I believe it is Tolkien's symbol. The J,R,R and the T all combined...

[Illuin]

I thought that's what it might be. My eyes aren't what they used to be, and it's so small I can barely make it out (just looks like a squiggle). A newer/larger computer monitor wouldn't hurt either. Guess it's time to break down :rolleyes:.

[Firawyn]

*looks around for Elgee* Hey Elgee, can we bash PoC over the head now?


Well Prince, as Gil and Illuin concurred, it is indeed the Tolkien Symbol. I also have the Virgo symbol, right below Tolkien's, as I am indeed a Virgo. I have a thing for symbols.

Fir-

[Illuin]

Hey fellow Virgo person; I'm September 14th. Birthday approaching :o.
Astrologers (bleh :mad:) say we are strange, curious, inquisitive folk. Astronomers (my kin :)) say that the gravity from a planet 480 million miles away has less influence on people than a grain of sand on the beach. What say you? ;)

[HLGStrider]

This is what I say. ..

Aquarius
There's travel in your future when your tongue freezes to the back of a
speeding bus
Fill that void in your pathetic life by playing Whack-A-Mole seventeen hours a
day

Gemini
Your birthday party will be ruined once again by your explosive flatulence
Your love life will run into trouble when your fiancé hurls a javelin through
your chest

Cancer
The position of Jupiter says you should spend the rest of the week face down in
the mud
Try not to shove a roll of duct tape up your nose while taking your driver's
test

Leo
Now is not a good time to photocopy your butt and staple it to your boss's
face, oh no
Eat a bucket of tuna-flavored pudding, then wash it down with a gallon of
strawberry Quik

Virgo
All Virgos are extremely friendly and intelligent - except for you
Expect a big surprise today when you wind up with your head impaled upon a stake

That's your horoscope for today-yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the
relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep
significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give
you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid,
scientific, documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not
to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true.

Where was I?

Libra
A big promotion is just around the corner for someone much more talented than
you
Laughter is the very best medicine, remember that when your appendix bursts

your den

Capricorn
The stars say that you're an exciting and wonderful person, but you know
they're lying
If I were you, I’d lock my doors and windows and never never never never never
leave my house again

Actually, that is what Weird Al said, but I follow his teachings. . .

[Noldor_returned]

This is what I say...I respect that people need things to believe in, but in all honesty did you consider whether Neptune was in the path of Saturn's moons when walking out the door this morning? Sure bad luck might happen, but I'm pretty sure a shadow on a moon won't give you sudden windfalls...perhaps good performance at work?

But that's my opinion, and no offence meant if you believe in it...I just don't see how it works.

[Narya]

FIR! Thanks!

Nice Tat! That must have hurt! I hate needles. *cringe*

[Firawyn]

@ Elgee, I love Wierd Al. Have you heard "Amish Paradise"?

@ Narya, your welcome. It didn't hurt that much. It's only a little bigger than a quarter.:cool:

[HLGStrider]

Yep, I used to watch the youtube video to that song almost daily . . . along with 'White and Nerdy.'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw

Spend my weekend at the renaissance faire, got my name on my underwear. . . woot!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixyTNd-Ln38&feature=related

Smells Like Nirvana is a great one to dance with a baby to, too.

[Prince of Cats]

It's Goldberry! :)

[Illuin]

So Strider, I see you’re a Weird Al fanatic. I remember (I think I was in 6th grade) first hearing “My Bologna” in 1979 on the Dr. Demento Show. But I still like “Eat It”:

How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned


Prince, nice pic of the Canyon. Been there twice, once on my way out to Lake Tahoe; and when Mom’s pleading to move closer became too much to bear 6 years later; I drove back and paid another little visit to the Canyon. It was just myself and my cat, named “Q”. After the trip, he would only sleep in my car (had to leave the rear passenger window open); and when I started the car to go to work; he was not happy when I made him get out.

[Firawyn]

Nice ink, e.Blackstar - what's the translation? I believe it's Latin, but I'm getting old and need a refresher course on Latin translation...;)

[e.Blackstar]

Nice ink, e.Blackstar - what's the translation? I believe it's Latin, but I'm getting old and need a refresher course on Latin translation...;)

It's Spanish, actually (so, you know, close enough). It means "to live, to fight/struggle, to love". It's supposed to be a kind of circular phrasing.

[Firawyn]

Yeah I'm a Spanish moron...and I'm living less than 60 miles from the border of Mexico...I should learn.

I do know how to say thank you though! :o

[Gilthoniel]

Don't worry about it, I'm moving to Paris in a couple of months, and I still can't speak French...

:eek:

[Firawyn]

Why are you moving to Paris? (You lucky dog!)

[Gilthoniel]

Well it's somewhat of a family tradition to go there at my age.. My dad did it, and his dad.. etc.

Also I'm tending bar, to raise money for my tour of Europe with my fledgling music, and I though, why not Paris?!

[Firawyn]

Nice tradition! Can I join your family?! :cool: j/k

[chrysophalax]

Be thankful you don't have to learn danish, Gil. Talk about hard! French is a breeze in comparison.

And who doesn't love Weird Al? He's a legend! The Saga of Luke Skywalker and Amish Paradise are sheer genius.

[Ithrynluin]

The other is my daughter just to prove that she is nearly as unhinged as I am.

Is it just me, or does she have Gollum eyes? :P

http://www.danperezstudios.com/images/workshop/gollum%20maquette.jpg

[HLGStrider]

I'd like to think she is slightly less menacing than that, but I could be wrong.

[Firawyn]

Elgee, you're menacing. Red *cough* leather bound *cough* Lord of the Rings *cough*

I would not put it past your daughter.

[HLGStrider]

I emailed that picture of my daughter to Dr. Ransom with the caption "You are being watched."

Menacing does not even begin to cover it.

[Narya]

Okay, first of all, you people are weird--comparing a very cute baby like that to Gollum!

Also, nice pics of Eledhwen, e.Blackstar (no offense, but, are you a boy or a girl?), and Kem is very pretty (as always ;)), Ithrynluin (again, sorry, but are you the guy or the girl? :confused:), and Majimaune (nice pic! You are the girl, right?), and Ingwë, though, you look too young to be holding that bottle that close to your mouth.

[Ithrynluin]

What do you say, Blackstar, shall we remain sexually ambiguous? :D

[Illuin]

I always thought Ithy’s old avatar (the dude with his hair standing up) was a picture of himself. By the way Narya; I never mentioned how pretty your little one is. But as for newborn babies; they all look the same to me until they are about a year old or so.

[Ithrynluin]

Note to Illuin: avatars may not necessarily reflect the appearance of their owners. Or did any of you think Illuin is actually a spiraling galaxy? :p

P.S. That was ambassador Molari of Babylon 5 fame.

[Firawyn]

Or that Ermundo was a blinking, spinning, hypnotic, square? :eek::D

[HLGStrider]

I'm really a cute kitten. ;)

[Firawyn]

I'm really a cute kitten. ;)

Yeah that one would be WAY off! ;)

[Majimaune]

and Majimaune (nice pic! You are the girl, right?)Nope I be the guy. Don't worry, its not the first time I have been mistaken for the opposite sex on the net. There must be something about the way I talk...

[Illuin]

That was good. I'm having an asthma attack as we speak!

[Firawyn]

Naw Maj, it's the cute factor! ;) You are just so dern cute. LOL!

I get mistaken for a guy unless people see my picture...though a couple of years ago (prior to my discovery of femininity) I got mistaken as for a guy anyway. Getting my nose pierced helped that alot. Hard to miss, rarely a guy thing. Huh. Should have thought of that sooner. :rolleyes:

[HLGStrider]

Pouts. Am too a cute kitten.
AM TOO AM TOO AM TOO

[Majimaune]

Thinking of growing it again and dreding it :)

[Firawyn]

Yeah Maj, I can totally imagine dreads on you!

Pouts. Am too a cute kitten.
AM TOO AM TOO AM TOO

Any SOMEBODY'S been taking lessons from an infant. :rolleyes:

[HLGStrider]

Cute kittens are cute enough that they have a free pass not to be mature.

[Firawyn]

Hummmmmm.....*bites sarcastic tongue*

[Gilthoniel]

Firawyn, I think this says more about me than you, but we have the same haircut. My hairs brown, and curls a bit sometimes (:mad:), but otherwise...

Fashionable, low-maintaining minds think alike!
:)

[Firawyn]

Ha! Awesome! We should start a club! :D

[Gilthoniel]

Hehe!
'The Sweep Generation'!

(Yes, I have been reading 50's jazz books...)

[Prince of Cats]

My hairs brown, and curls a bit sometimes (:mad:)



You gotta *love* the curls, not hate em :D

PS, love the earrings, Firawyn - I got some just like 'em! :P

[Firawyn]

You know, I got my hair permed once, and I was told I looked like a Hobbit. Never again. Not into curls. Not for me. :eek:

[Gilthoniel]

I wouldn't mind them, if they didn't seem to curl in completely different places, in completely random spots...
My fringe will often be perfectly straight, only for my crown to curl up...
I look like a cheap Russell Brand.

[Narya]

Thanks! But don't be fooled, she no girly girl. She's the one who plays DotA online using the handle BLOODSIN. She loves gore and all kinds of icky stuff that other girls find disgusting.

She also digs girls more than boys. She's been singing the song I KISSED A GIRL, by Katy Perry a lot.

Hey Narya, looks like your kid and I would get along real well. Ha! I love that song...

*sings* "I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick, I kissed a girl just to try it, hope my boyfriend don't mind it, it felt so wrong, it felt so right..."

*sigh*

Yup...my theme song of the week.

lol!

I bet you would.

Say, that hairstyle you've got is RADICAL! It fits you to a T! you look awesome! Ain't this the pic in your myspace?

[Firawyn]

Yea that's the one on myspace...not all TTFers have myspace so I put it here as well.

And thank you kindly, I like this haircut very mcuh. I shall keep it. Not to femmy, not to butch. Perfect for me.

[Illuin]

Very nice picture Fir. You are a very pretty girl. You remind me of my sister (17 years younger than me), and she has guys banging on the door constantly. She’s a bookworm as well, and you two would be very good friends if you were acquainted. She actually walks around the house reading books (as she walks and talks), while at the same time communicating with us. There are a few pictures of her in the forum photo album. She is actually now a local DA :eek:.

[Ciryaher]

Kem and her TTF shirt

5 or 6 years ago, me, Cir, Tal and a few other members who don't frequent any more made some t-shirts with tengwar on them. I think they were navy blue. I cant seem to find mine anywhere. Does anyone still have theirs?

I found mine when I was out in Arizona visiting my mum, actually. I wear it every once in a while.

[HLGStrider]

Maj, you kind of remind me of Ioan Gruff. .. Gruffald? Iaon Gruffudd! That dude from the Fantastic Four.

[Majimaune]

Haha thats a new one Elgee. I have been told I look like Jonathan Rhys Myers before though only when my hair is shorter.
