How do you imagine other BDers

[Elennar Starfire]

Ooohh, how do I creep you out Elennar Starfire, did I pin you down? Or was my description of you too fantastical?

Ye got way too close. Are ye sure ye aren't a stalker?

[Vuelve]

I don't know what anyone looks like.You are your avatar in my eyes.(all 3 of them ) <this is going to sound like a desperate cry for attention.O well> Please, o please, pretend you know enough about me to post about my ravashing good looks on here.Don't leave out any of my good points. Make sure you leave out all the bad ones, though. I'm sure you know allllllll about me. *wink wink*


Resident Good looking 8-Ball hustler,
Vuelve

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ah Vuelve... I've wanted to post about you before, but I'm terrified that I'll make a dreadful and offensive mistake... you see, I haven't learned yet what gender you are! And I really have no idea what age, therefore when I get home from work (speaking of that, I should really be getting ready to LEAVE right now...) I plan on doing some Vuelve-stalking to learn some much needed information.

Fea

[The Only Real Estel]

Nimrothiel: Glad you liked the link, but it's really more of a signature than anything else (just was a few characters short of having it in my sig). So in the future, it's probably a better idea to pm your thoughts to me :).

You are your avatar in my eyes.(all 3 of them )

Please, o please, pretend you know enough about me to post about my ravashing good looks on here.

Well lets see. Following your rule I'd say I imagine you as a cat; only with three eyes. :p

p.s. you imagine me as my avatar?
i've never been told before that I
look like Wario...:eek:

Lucky for you I'm no stalker Elennar Starfire, or am I? Mwahahaa

As for Vuelve, hhmmm. You have blonde hair and green eyes with pouty lips, your about average height and you like cats.

[Vuelve]

Ah Vuelve... I've wanted to post about you before, but I'm terrified that I'll make a dreadful and offensive mistake... you see, I haven't learned yet what gender you are!

I plan on doing some Vuelve-stalking to learn some much needed information
I'm touched Fea. I mean you really wanted to post about me*sniffle* ;) And by all means stalk me. That would be super! lol O and don't worry about offending me, not knowing the gender is part of the fun on this thread.



Well lets see. Following your rule I'd say I imagine you as a cat; only with three eyes
Hmmm.. well not exactly.The third eye is removable.lol

p.s. you imagine me as my avatar? LOL I've been meaning to tell you that I love your Avatar. I was on here one day and was like, " look it's Dr. Wario!!"

As for Vuelve, hhmmm. You have blonde hair and green eyes with pouty lips, your about average height and you like cats.
Well I used to have blonde hair but I dyed it to color which I'm not going to reveal for guessing purposes.My eyes tend to be green they change with what I wear though.Green/Grey/Blue/Hazel, its all very interesting.That last bit is really funny though.I really don't much care for cats.Puss in Boots is only there for the Antonio Bandaras/Zorro cat/ Shrek factor.

This is so much fun!!

Resident 3RD eye removable 8-Ball Hustler,
Vuelve

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

All right, Vuelve, ignoring the hints you gave in your post, I'll tell you how I picture you. Forgive me if I mistake age, gender, and appearance all in one fell swoop. Like with Mad Baggins, I used to think you were a 30ish year old man. I've now refined my image to a 17 year old girl. You are taller than me (not hard to do), coming up around 5'7". You've got flowing, and perfectly straight blonde hair, down nearly to your waist. When you don't have it bound up tightly in a messy bun, its blowing around randomly in the wind. Your grey-blue eyes sometimes flash with a burst of passion, but are more found exhibiting kindness and calm. When you want something, people are incapable of resisting your charm (think Puss in Boots). Your hands are notable, having long and delicate fingers, with the nails rarely painted. To show them off, you wear few rings, prefering bracelets or henna tattoos.

Fea

[Vuelve]

LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOL Fea. Thats so funny!!! How did I come off as a 30 year old man, I always thought that my posts were stupid and dorky.(I must have been one dorky old dude.)Your pretty close on my height ( I really don't know exactly how tall I am.But its somewhere around there.)The rest of that is just Crap LOL(no offense.)Perfect hair LOL thats a riot.Maybe you can get some hints from my new sig (it's from one of my favorite songs.

Resident 8-Ball Hustler,
Vuelve

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Not entirely sure about the 30 year old man thing... It never fails to amaze me that people thought I was a guy, or at least a lot older than I am.

As for the perfect hair, my imagination, not yours. Nah nah nah nah boo boo. :p

Your image has just been updated: you now wear a black cowboy hat everywhere you go... over top of your long, blonde, perfect hair. Mwahahahaha. The funniest part of all this is that I was listening to the song in your siggy a few minutes ago, and caught the music video earlier when my brother was watching CMT.

How 'bout me? Ignore my avvy; it doesn't even show all of my face. What do I look like to you?

Fea

[Thorongil]

It never fails to amaze me that people thought I was a guy
I think that is because of your name. It's not easy when girls has male names.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mwahahahaha. Actually, I picked the name Feanor before I read the Silmarillion. I had no clue who it was, and just liked the term "fiery spirit" because it so well describes my fiestiness. ;) So I didn't intentionally pick a guy's name, it just kinda happened. Mind you, even if I'd known, I wouldn't pick an obviously female name, because I'm not particularly girly (most of the time).

Fea

[Nirvana II]

i am the hardest one to describe!!!!i am the enigma!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

No, Nirvana, you aren't the hardest to describe. Describe accurately maybe, but not describe. And even that, I think goes to Eomer of the Rohirrim. His appearance alludes me. You however... In my mind, you are a bigger, darker, Kurt Cobain.

[Nirvana II]

argh thats right!!!!!!!!!!!!kind of....minus the scoliosis and the addictions, and add lots of piercings and tattoos

[elronds_daughter]

Finally!! somebody outsmarted Nirvana!!!! :p:D;)

[The Only Real Estel]

i am the hardest one to describe!!!!i am the enigma!

Ha! I think that Eomer holds that title. And since Eomer says that I'm much like him because he can't pin me down, I must be at least top 5 ;).

[Mithalwen]

Well they gave up on me.... :p No Avatar clues....lol

[Elennar Starfire]

Mithalwen: For some strange reason I imagine you as a guy, despite the
-wen in your name, which indicates that you are in fact female.

[Mithalwen]

LOL - Sweetie I am all woman :rolleyes: but at the moment I am RPG-ing 3 male chars so maybe that is showing through :eek: .... Actually the wen in my name is not meant to indicate my gender but is meant to be Mith + alwen which according to the translator I used a litererary or archaic sindarin word for tree..... so Mithalwen was intended to mean Grey-tree - which could be unisex not grey-"something" -maiden....which couldn't :D

[Vuelve]

Actually Fea. I thought you were a guy for a bit because of your name.sorry!!!Please forgive me.And I don't wear my Black hat too much it hurts my head.I have a white straw one I wear when I compete.See I thought my name would throw everyone off because it is the Spanish word for 'return' I think.I figured everyone would think of me as Spanish or Mexican. (which I'm not.) I just chose it because it sounded cool.

In my mind, you are a bigger, darker, Kurt Cobain.
I just pictured you as Kurt Cobain.

Resident 8-Ball hustler,
Vuelve

[ninlaith]

here I'll make it easier for everyone......hmmmmm.......channeling thoughts.......everyone looks different from everyone else unless twins....oooo that was hard......gosh I'm psychic.....or maybe psycho...Mwaa ha ha ha haaaa...j/k :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Should I feel proud? :smokin:

Estel, you are at least top 3.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

"Pride cometh before a fall."

You just remember that, Eomer! One of these days I'll pin your image, and then you'll be kicked straight out of the top ten! Mwahahahahahaha... hahahahahaha....hahahaha. *maniacal laughter trails off as Fea realizes how incredibly hungry she is and wanders off in search of food.*

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Which fairy-tales have you been reading Fea? The mighty never fall.... :smokin:

[ninlaith]

Eomer: Now don't hold me to this but, I think you're about 20, 6'0, black hair, dark eyes, and insanely imaginative in your writing judging by all of your posts. It's just a guess. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Not too shabby ninlaith! :) Some things are spot on.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Which fairy-tales have you been reading Fea? The mighty never fall *clears throat and pulls out a long piece of parchment*

Morgoth got locked in a void, Sauron was weakened beyond repair, the Witch King was killed by a hobbit and a girl, Saruman was corrupted, Denathor went nuts, Boromir tried to steal the Ring, Theoden died, Gandalf died, Glorfindel died, Halbarad was killed... Oh how the mighty have fallen. If you'd like, I can fully start pulling references from other fairy-tales. :D ;)

Fea

[ninlaith]

thank you Eomer.....a few things is better than way off. :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

But Fea, this time will be different.

ninlaith, I can only credit you with getting the height right, because my age is there for all to see in my profile. :p

[ninlaith]

darn, you found me out! :rolleyes:

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Enigma I am. I even supply you with clues yet you cannot see me! :D

Estel has short dark brown hair and wears t-shirts and shorts. He is often seen with a bottle of water in hand. He whistles almost constantly.

[ninlaith]

Well judging from the wrong point of view.....you probably have lite hair and lite eyes. :p . Or lite hair dark eyes

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

All right, Eomer, my quest for the day is to pin down a somewhat accurate image of you. And since you've pretty much given yourself away over the past few pages, all I have to do is make a list of what you are NOT, and from it, logically conclude what you must be. Wow... this is going to be... longer than I expected. But I'll do it or die trying. Or die because I'm hungry... one or the other. But in order not to die, I'm gonna go eat breakfast and THEN pin your image. But I still say lunatic. :D

Fea

[symestreem]

This is what I gleaned, Feanor:

He's admitted to having brown hair, blue eyes, being 6', wearing worn jeans and band t-shirts, and sometimes being found in pubs. And 20 is a given.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Good grief, symestreem, I should have ignored the work and left it all to you. Finally, though, we can have an altogether accurate (unless he's been lying all along) description of our good buddy Eomer.

Eomer of the Rohirrim: You are 20 years old, as found in your profile. You are tall (6'0") and well-built. All your time training badgers has assuredly payed off, in the fact that your muscles fill out your perfectly broken in jeans and t-shirts particularly well. You are a fierce debator, and delight in being somewhat of a mystery. You try to keep your thoughts secret, but if someone's memory and observatoin skills are good enough, they can find out nearly anything. Your blue eyes show a great sense of humor, gleaming when you've got a joke or a sarcastic comment in store. You are a frequent guest at the local asylum, as well as the local tavern. Drinking age is different than in the U.S., eh?

Fea

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Ok, ok, you've all done very well and I think its time to give up the game. symestreem's work was very clever and Fea's hefty description is damn close! :D

One point of contention. Muscles? Bah! I look like a typical skinny indie bloke who smokes way too much cigarettes (although I've never even touched one). :rolleyes: Alas! I am always going to be more slender Elf than King of Rohan.

Drinking age is 18 here in the UK. Though too many young idiots take advantage of that and cause drunken mayhem. There's always pros and cons isn't there?!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Well, since I've got the rest accurate, I can be forgiven for the muscle mistake. But training badgers IS hard work. ;) The description of you actually matches a friend of mine very well, only your hair is no doubt lighter, and I'm quite sure you don't have the piercings he's got. Other than that, eyes, build, sense of humor, match up quite nicely.
Though too many young idiots take advantage of that and cause drunken mayhem. There's always pros and cons isn't there?!
We've got plenty of young idiots who cause their own mischief, and they don't bother taking advantage of drinking laws. They just ignore them. I see nothing wrong with the occasional drink (although I won't do it), but when it leads to binges and partying... :mad: .

As for me... I shouldn't have created my avatar... it was much more fun before people got a good idea of what I look like.

Fea

[The Only Real Estel]

Estel has short dark brown hair and wears t-shirts and shorts. He is often seen with a bottle of water in hand. He whistles almost constantly.

Actually, my hair is not overly short or brown, I avoid wearing t-shirts as much as possible during the summer or while playing basketball, I almost never carry a bottle of water & I've never even stopped to learn how to whistle. In short, Eomer, you are wrong. :p

[elronds_daughter]

As for me... I shouldn't have created my avatar... it was much more fun before people got a good idea of what I look like.
I like your avatar, Fea. and (from one girl to another; and i'm not gay... don't worry) you're actually quite good-looking. :) but it is fun to try to figure out what everyone looks like. but i'll let other people do the guessing.

cheers!

Elrond's (other) daughter

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Fea, my hair is only light when the Sun is shining on it. In those situations it looks rather fetching! :D Its quite longish, I despise short hair.

Estel, you have a bushy brown moustache (despite your tender age), wellington boots, have one ear missing due to a fight with an iguana, shiny white teeth and piercing eyes. You also have the ability to hypnotise people. Sometimes you do this solely to steal their wallets.

Getting closer?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

you're actually quite good-looking :D Thank you, Elrond's (other) Daughter... I'm touched, and no fears, I don't think you're weird or anything. I actually spend half of my spare time trying to convince my friends how gorgeous they are. "No, you are NOT fat." "Your nose is NOT too big." "Shut up you, I'm dead jealous of your curves." One of the many reasons I spend most of my time in the company of guys. They worry about important things... like who's gonna get the last slice of pizza! ;) Or if they DO worry about how they look, they keep quiet about it.

Durelin: You are somewhat short, maybe 5'3"? With black hair that falls just below your shoulders. It is straight, but occasionally sticks out in weird places. Your eyes are bright green, and... what the? I just got a female Harry Potter image in my head. Wow... I guess I need to lay off the long bike rides and get some real sleep. Anyhow, you love art and music, and detest doing homework, unless you actually think it will help you with your learning. You are into snowboarding, perhaps. At least, that's how my over-extended imagination makes you out to be.

Fea

[elronds_daughter]

hear, hear! i'm with you on that.

[Nirvana II]

Finally!! somebody outsmarted Nirvana!!!! :p:D;)

not totally,...taller, darker, kurt cobain doesnt me anything

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

i do shop at Hot Topic, but your wrong about the black, partially, and the goth, wrong 5'10".....try 6'8"...i drink sobe...and i wear ecko jeans...and i wear pumas..and play bass guitar...not long black hair
So, Nirvana, you are exceptionally tall 22-year-old, somewhat of a grunge rocker, you've got at least partially black hair, although it is not long. Maybe short and spiky? Or of medium length. You have a large amount of piercings and tattoos, and don't like to fit into the typical mold.

Better?

[Elennar Starfire]

Its quite longish, I despise short hair.

Longish hair, eh? *gets a mental picture of a rather attractive Eomer*
(yes, I like longish hair)

I actually spend half of my spare time trying to convince my friends how gorgeous they are. "No, you are NOT fat." "Your nose is NOT too big." "Shut up you, I'm dead jealous of your curves." One of the many reasons I spend most of my time in the company of guys. They worry about important things... like who's gonna get the last slice of pizza!

My friend is always complaining that her nose is too small...I finally got so annoyed I offered to pull on it every day until it was big enough for her. (yes, I stole the idea from Circle of Magic...So what?)
*grabs the last slice of pizza*

[The Only Real Estel]

Estel, you have a bushy brown moustache (despite your tender age), wellington boots, have one ear missing due to a fight with an iguana, shiny white teeth and piercing eyes. You also have the ability to hypnotise people. Sometimes you do this solely to steal their wallets.

Well, I don't think I need to say much about this one :p. I will say I have no moustache, though. Other than that, I'm just going to have to hypnotize a bunch of people into forgetting my secret that you just blabbed, bub. ;)

p.s. so, eomer, your hair is long? if it's straight, it must be nearly to your shoulders, if it's more curlyish-than it must just be...long :confused:.

[ninlaith]

Hey Estel I don't think your hypnotisim works too well I still remember your secret. ;) :p . But anyway it seems like you like videogames so you're either a little pudgy for the fact that some gamers like to munch with no inhabitions while playing or you could be sort of skinny from your being so enthraled by gaming that you don't give yourself time to eat or instead of gaming it could be all that movie watching. :D If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

[Morsul the Dark]

Well personally there is only two people I can really imagine Saucepanman is one

I believe him look a bit hobbish always smokin a pipe and yet he has a strong stature a most admirable hobbit-like person

and Bombadil- A teenager tall black hair glasses but again do not be fooled he is mighty in confidence

perhaps i only imagine these two because their knowledge is more extensive then mine will ever be and i admire them for that

looks into crystal ball evceryone else is blurry

[Lhunardawen]

I like your avatar, Fea. and (from one girl to another; and i'm not gay... don't worry) you're actually quite good-looking.

Ditto, Fea. Your avatar reminds me of Eowyn...a bit. :)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Oh Elennar you rock! :D

[ninlaith]

Lhunardawen: I'm not doing so well in this thread but here goes. Your avatar is Eowyn so I think you might be blonde, 5'6, with green eyes. I don't know it's just a guess. Like I said I'm not doing so well in this one.

[pug of crydee]

what r u guys talking about?

[pug of crydee]

somebody TALK!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

pug, please read the answers I have given you on several threads!! This is a forum, not a chatroom - posts are to be made only when you contribute to the discussion. If you wish to chat, please go to the chatroom - the link is on the "Newcomers - Introduce yourself here" thread. Please read before you post; if you continue to post needlessly, your posting privileges will be taken away.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

(yes, I stole the idea from Circle of Magic...So what?)
YES!!! Another Tam Pierce fan! I just finished (like... 20 minutes ago) Squire... again! Lady Knight comes next and then Trickster's Choice. And then I get to rereading Sandry's Book. My unfortunate (to others) habit of reading Pierce's work first to last, starting with Alanna, continuing through Daine and Kel, checking in on Aly, and then switching universes to the four. I actually go on Pierce binges. You really can't read just one! Sorry... back to the subject at hand before I get harassed for being off-topic:

Thank you, Lhunardawen and Elrond's (other) Daughter. I'm having a little trouble seeing myself as pretty (my "look" right now is the unintentional grunge look, as I've been cleaning all day, and I've got a pencil being used as a giant hair pin to keep at least some of my hair out of my face as I type!), but I'll take your words for it. See, I rarely think about my appearance, so it's always a shock when it gets noted.

Lush: now I know at least parts of this are inaccurate, since I've seen your picture on Alk's page, but this thread is supposed to be imagined images of each other... sooo... Lush is about 5'8", with long and flowing locks of auburn hair. You've got brilliantly green eyes, that are much practiced in the art of flirting. You have the ability to make the most worn out jeans and a t-shirt look like hot. ;) Either that, or occasionally you leave human form and get stuck looking like a long-stemmed rose. Odd, ain't it?

Fea

[Lhunardawen]

Lhunardawen: I'm not doing so well in this thread but here goes. Your avatar is Eowyn so I think you might be blonde, 5'6, with green eyes. I don't know it's just a guess. Like I said I'm not doing so well in this one.
*giggles* Amazing how one's avatar can affect how others envision him/her. No, I don't look the least like Eowyn. Or so I think. I could just wish I look like her. :rolleyes:

I'm having a little trouble seeing myself as pretty
I know exactly how you feel. :)

[Elennar Starfire]

Oh Elennar you rock! :D
Why's that?

YES!!! Another Tam Pierce fan!
D'ye want to have a PM discussion of Tam Pierce books?

Fea doesn't look so much like Eowyn to me, more like a Hobbit lass.

Let's see now...time for some more mental images...

Elrond's Daughter is of medium height and build, with brown eyes and dark curly hair. She likes to wear Spongebob Squarepants t-shirts, or perhaps Tweety bird with faded jeans and flipflop sandals in bright colours.

[Lhunardawen]

Fea doesn't look so much like Eowyn to me, more like a Hobbit lass.
True. But I just saw some resemblance to Eowyn in her eyes, I can't explain it.

Anyway, I think you (Elennar) look like Starfire in Teen Titans. Something about the name, I guess... :D

[ninlaith]

Lhunardawen: I told you I wasn't very good at this thread. I just like watching everyone try to guess what each other looks like. For all I know you could be a guy. That being said you may not be as well. See what I mean! I'm no good! :(

[Lhunardawen]

Don't be too hard on yourself, ninlaith. I'm no good in imagining too. But I'm most definitely not a guy. :)

[ninlaith]

Well thank you for the comforting words. I think I'll just remain a spectator for the time being. Or at least until my foresight kicks in....hehe.... :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

She is almost as tall as I am - call it 5'5" -, has shoulder-length black hair, with some trace of oriental blood in her - the eyes, mostly. And...

Ooops. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

D'ye want to have a PM discussion of Tam Pierce books?
Aye, that would be wonderful indeed, especially since I noticed a Tolkien parallel (not necessarily reference, but it was funny to see) last night: Stenman Kinslayer, anyone?

A hobbit lass? Me?? And here I was hoping for Elven beauty or somesuch romantical nonsense. :D I'm a little lacking in the Elven height department though... I could be a really young Elf... Ooh, wait: Peredhil! Mwahaha. Er... sorry 'bout that.

I really like the Eowyn image, although I'm not positive where it came from. I'm niether blonde, nor fair and cold, although I will beat the tar out of anyone who messes with me or the ones I love. ;) Or at least threaten the tar out of them... amazing what people will believe if you throw enough rash [and fake] confidence into your speech. "You will stop this on your own, or I will make you stop. Pick one, but it will end." always works. As does "If you attempt to carry out your threats, I will break your jaw." Shamelessly stolen from Squire by Tamora Pierce.

Finwe: You are about 5'6", with long black hair with deep red lowlights. Your eyes are so dark brown that they are nearly black, and seem to hold an eternity's worth of wisdom beneath the surface. Actually, for anybody with the same musical taste as me, I picture Finwe as looking like Christina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil.

Fea

[Lathriel]

I'm a Tam Pierce fan too

My avatar says very little about me other than that I have a crush Faramir (Blushes)

I spent a long time reading this WHOLE thread. I really had to laugh about Eomer in a Tartan Kilt but I don't remeber who mentioned that.

I actually imagined most people a bit geekish or bookish. I never really thought about what you guys would look like.

[ninlaith]

Well Lathriel, I know you're female for the fact of the little crush on Faramir (or at least I hope you're female). I'm not good at this thread but I think i'll give it a shot again. I see....brown hair....maybe hazel eyes and about 5'6''. I know i'm way off but humor me.

[Lathriel]

I am indeed female and my hair is brown so you were spot on about that.
and 6'5" is close but not completly accurate so I guess my appearnce is easy to guess.

I'm not like Estel or Eomer, there were so many people guessing what they looked like it was funny reading all those posts. :D

[Meneltarmacil]

One of the many reasons I spend most of my time in the company of guys. They worry about important things... like who's gonna get the last slice of pizza! Or if they DO worry about how they look, they keep quiet about it.Actually, the reason we don't worry about how we look is because we don't usually have any appearance problems that require more than a few minutes to fix. At least, I usually don't.
A hobbit lass? Me?? And here I was hoping for Elven beauty or somesuch romantical nonsense. Actually, from your avatar you do look somewhat like Arwen.

Anyway, sorry for being absent for such a long time. Two camp weeks back to back, can you say "tired"? And this guy in my cabin always having way too much caffeine and keeping everyone awake didn't help either...*yawn* But anyway, I managed to pull off a creepily accurate Gollum impression for some "spirit points" for my cabin during a volleyball contest.

OK, back on topic. I'm not quite sure why people have always imagined me with black hair, but my hair has always been blond. And if I liked to play with dangerous chemicals as somebody mentioned earlier, my house would probably be reduced to a huge smoking crater by now.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing as Feanor and putting my picture up as an avatar. If anybody thinks that would be spoiling something, now's the time to speak up.

[Saraphim]

You guys finally managed to pin down Eomer! I missed all that, and his consession, but now I'm back, in full force, and ready to say:

Nilpaurion Felagund: You are around 6 feet, with long light hair. You've got grey eyes, and when you're not on the computer or reading, you're staring longingly out at the ocean horizon.

[The Saucepan Man]

I believe him look a bit hobbish always smokin a pipe and yet he has a strong stature a most admirable hobbit-like personHmm, I like that image so feel free to stick with it. :)


Two camp weeks back to back*Imagines Meneltarmacil nancing around like one of the Elves at Helm's Deep for two weeks*

:p :D

[ninlaith]

Meneltarmacil: You said you like to play with chemicals so how do we know if your hair hasn't been "bleached" or "peroxided" blond. You may just be dying your hair blond to fool all the BD's. :D Just kidding. So anyway I am assuming you're female for the fact that I know if I did my Gollum impression in front of my guy friends they'd all laugh at me and think I was weird. Maybe about 5'5''. And maybe you're blond????? ;) Oh well I'm probably wrong. I always am in this thread.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Elennar, you rock because you casually planted psychological seeds into the minds of the other Downers that I am one of the beautiful people. Whether you are right or wrong, I am not obliged to answer. ;)

Lathriel, it was the hilarious (and English) Saucepan Man who brought forward the idea of me in a kilt. I have worn a kilt on several occasions in the past, actually. It's an experience, let me tell you. :)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

casually planted psychological seeds into the minds of the other Downers
Those seeds were a waste of planting time. Eomer, we all already knew you're the Lush of your gender! ;)

don't usually have any appearance problems that require more than a few minutes to fix
Niether do we. Girls just exaggerate. :p Actually, I don't know that for certain. I DO know that I fully stand by if-it's-not-doable-in-ten-minutes-its-not-getting-done... unless for some fancy occasion or some such nonsense. Even then... the prom for example: my makeup took me some five minutes to do. It took me about five to get dressed, and that's because I tripped over my own feet. My hair took freaking forever (some 45 minutes), but if I'D been doing it? Not so long. See? It's called the I've-got-better-things-to-do-with-my-time beauty regimen.

you do look somewhat like Arwen
Hehe. The first time I badgered my parents into watching The Fellowship, my mama said to me "Did you know you're a dead ringer for that Elf lady there?" I fully argued: my eyes are hazel, my hair isn't nearly as long (even before I hacked it, it fell in loose curls just past my shoulders), I'm not tall enough, I haven't a whit of grace, and then I ran out of excuses. I do actually look somewhat like Arwen. Just a shorter, [much] younger, and of course prettier counterpart. ;) At least I've got the fair (see "pasty white" [except when sunburned]) skin.

*dies laughing* :D

Moving swiftly on....

rimbaud looks like your typical 19th century character. Long straggly hair, high hat, long dark grey cloak, and deep eyes. This works for both genders as I don't know which is appropriate. :rolleyes:

[Nirvana II]

i still remained partially undescribed!...and i give little clues about, so..harder for you!

[Elennar Starfire]

I have worn a kilt on several occasions in the past, actually.
Really? Even better! ;)

you really should stop it, Leny...
But it's so fun!
*sigh*

Ignore that...the voice in my head is such a party pooper! :rolleyes:

Ah, nicely done. I think I'll only tweak your rimbaud impression just a bit to make mine.

rimbaud: In short (very short), you look almost exactly like Van Helsing (the movie, not the comic book). In fact, were you to get a Van Helsing avatar, it would fit my impressions quite well ;).

[Lathriel]

Okay Nirvana, I have not tried this yet and I have actually forgotten your hints after having to read 8 pages but here I go.

You have red hair are of normal height and you have blue or green eyes.
Of course since you are a BDer most of your days you are found on the computer on Barrow Downs !!!!

[The Only Real Estel]

I'm going to posting on Quickslash here, even though he/she hasn't been around a whole lot.

Quickslash: For some reason I'm going to see female, even though Qs struck me at first as being male. Black/brown hair, 5'8 if female, 6'2 if male. Likes a few sports, but mostly likes going to movies, uses the internet a good bit, but doesn't post here a whole lot. Maybe does a little art, probably has brown eyes, I'm terrified that I'm way off ;) :D.

[Mithalwen]

looks into crystal ball evceryone else is blurry


Well I certainly look better in soft focus these days....

Eomer.....sinceIhave always wondered but am too much of a lady to peek ...... erm is "going commando" still de rigeur when wearing a kilt.... :p :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Mithalwen, you just couldn't help yourself could you? You'll find that everyone's different, and that there's only one way for a lady to discover the truth. Dare you? :eek: :D

Estel, you're right! You were able to put a face on my image of rimbaud and you got it spot on.

[Meneltarmacil]

Meneltarmacil: You said you like to play with chemicals so how do we know if your hair hasn't been "bleached" or "peroxided" blond. You may just be dying your hair blond to fool all the BD's. Just kidding. So anyway I am assuming you're female for the fact that I know if I did my Gollum impression in front of my guy friends they'd all laugh at me and think I was weird. Maybe about 5'5''. And maybe you're blond????? Oh well I'm probably wrong. I always am in this thread. I don't know why both you and Estel thought I was female, but I tell you now that I am male. My hair has always been a natural blond, and I have never dyed it in my life. And I am not one to fool around with chemicals, that honor is reserved for my lab partner in chemistry class (it's a miracle he hasn't burned his house to the ground). One thing's for certain, your last comment was correct. ;)

The reason I did my Gollum impression in front of the entire camp was mostly because my cabin mates all know that I've always been good at doing weird impressions, as well as being "designated victim" for every weird game that people can come up with at these things.

EDIT: Ah, finally finished that painful resizing job to get my picture up as an avatar.

[The Only Real Estel]

Ah, Meneltarmacil, I see you got tired of being mistaken for being female & having a hair color other than blonde & just went ahead & posted your pic as an avatar. :D Not a bad idea, but I can't bring myself to take the fun out of being guessed by doing that :p

Estel, you're right! You were able to put a face on my image of rimbaud and you got it spot on

Ah, I guess I didn't end up tweaking it that much after all. Great minds think alike...& so do ours! :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Indeed. I was thinking he looked like an extra from the Muppets Christmas Carol (a human extra, of course). Retro cloaks, the way to go!


edit to add: rimbaud is (for the benefit of Estel) male. I guess every other Downer knew that except us! :rolleyes:

[ninlaith]

Sorry Meneltarmacil my mistake. I'm really bad at guessing what people look like. I'm just not good at this thread at all. :(

[The Only Real Estel]

[QUOTE=Eomer of the Rohirrim]Mithalwen, you just couldn't help yourself could you? You'll find that everyone's different, and that there's only one way for a lady to discover the truth. Dare you?

Ah but then maybe she ceases to be a lady..... :p
Indeed I have a glib tongue that is liable to drop me in hot water.... so self awareness being a wonderful thing I will resist the temptation to say "I'm game if you are.." :D

[Rimbaud]

Not only that. but I'll have you know my hair is actually exceptionally stylish. Gah and indeed meh. And if you knock me down to just under half-a-foot, and have me green and somewhat amphibious you'd be closer to the mark.

[Elennar Starfire]

Will you turn into a prince if I kiss you?

[Rimbaud]

...but sadly an uncommonly ambiguous reply! Funny how life turns out.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It takes style to get someone that wrong. :p

Mithalwen, no comment. ;)

[Elennar Starfire]

I guess I won't know until I try it, eh? So...http://216.40.206.219/boardimages/kiss.gif

[Lhunardawen]

Rimbaud? Are you still there?

Guess he did not turn into a frog. I didn't hear *croak**croak* for an answer. :D

Seems to me that more and more Downers are using their pic as their avatars... what a waste for this thread...I guess.

She is almost as tall as I am - call it 5'5" -, has shoulder-length black hair, with some trace of oriental blood in her - the eyes, mostly. And...
Thanks a lot, Nil.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Someone described me during my absence in this thread. Wow.

Nilpaurion Felagund: You are around 6 feet, with long light hair. You've got grey eyes, and when you're not on the computer or reading, you're staring longingly out at the ocean horizon.(Saraphim)
A few thousand years ago, yes, that was me. The valiant Prince of Tirion, a spitting image of Finrod the Faithful. But a few body swaps later, the only thing on the mark is the long hair.
At least, it's long for me. I haven't had it cut since...ummm...four-ish months ago.

Now,
Rimbaud is not really a frog but a salamander undergoing an identity crisis. He's hairless, green in colour, and perpetually covered in slime.
A kiss from a fairy princess turns him into a frog. Unfortunately, that turns the fairy princess into a newt.

The Only Real Estel is anything but the only real estel. He's one of those Aragorn look-alikes seen wandering your neighbourhood wild areas.


I'm really bad at guessing what people look like. I'm just not good at this thread at all. :( (ninlalaith)
Don't say that! The one fun in this thread is actually getting wrong.
Like mistaking you, ninlalaith, for an 15 year-old redhead who gets into trouble at school for shouting the Ring Verse - in Black Speech - at inopportune times.
Of course, I might be right. That would scare me to three-fourths death.

[Lhunardawen]

The Only Real Estel is anything but the only real estel. He's one of those Aragorn look-alikes seen wandering your neighbourhood wild areas.
Something like Sauron's discount rings, eh? :D

[Elven Hunter]

I think I saw Lhunardawen before.. Let's see, I think she has brown skin, she's very thin, wearing glasses, a bit longer than shoulder hair, and she was wearing a pony tail.

Nah just kidding, that was her friend. But the truth is, she looks like her avatar. She's nearly 5'5" tall with shoulder hair, always carrying LotR stuff and books. She wears glasses and talks in quenya and about LotR with her friends, who understands only a bit of what she's saying. :)

[Elennar Starfire]

I was indeed turned into a newt. But I got better.

p.s. and it's an unspoken rule that you can't use any pics you've seen on
the barrowdowns pic page to your advantage when guessing looks :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I was indeed turned into a newt. But I got better.
Did you now... I had you pegged for the witch type, with a fake nose, but it could be because the masses wanted you to look that way. You don't perchance weigh the same as a duck, do you?

Fea

[ninlaith]

Well , Nilpaurion, we have something in common...our guesses are few and far between. You have one thing right though I do tend to shout lines and songs from LOTR at inopportune times. Only when everyone was quiet. But I'll give you a few hints I'm not a red-head and I'm older than 15 (not by a whole lot but older). ;)

[Mithalwen]

Mithalwen, no comment. ;)


Well sinceI am unlikely to be in the vicinity the next time you are wearing a kilt you are probably safe... :rolleyes:

[Sirithheruwen]

*sighs* My, I have been gone a long time, haven't I? And no one has done me in the process. Pity.

Actually, Rimbaud has mostly struck me as somewhat rat-ish. Sort of like Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, except with Professor Lockheart (HP and the Chamber of Secrets) blonde wavy hair. Interesting combo, no? :eek:

[Elennar Starfire]

I had you pegged for the witch type, with a fake nose, but it could be because the masses wanted you to look that way. You don't perchance weigh the same as a duck, do you?

Nope, the nose is all real! You can pull on it if you like, to prove it. But don't pull too hard!

I'm unsure if I weigh the same as a duck. It would depend on the size of the duck in question. A very large duck, perhaps.

[Lathriel]

Sirithheruwen I think you avatar might be close to what you look like.
Green eyes, auburn hair and a little poity nose. :D

I'm alos guessing that you are petite, and that you really wish you were a little taller.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'm unsure if I weigh the same as a duck
If you like, we can use my largest scales to find out.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Sirith is a complete bundle of energy with extremely long hair and wild eyes. She is rather petite, I would agree.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I always thought Sirith was a slender little redhead, with an above-average number of freckles, lightly smattered across her nose and cheeks. Bright green eyes. Hair is stick-straight, and falls just to the base of her shoulder blades. It's cut layered, a la Lindsey Lohan in Freaky Friday, only no extra colors.

Fea

[Sirithheruwen]

Sirithheruwen I think you avatar might be close to what you look like.I'm alos guessing that you are petite, and that you really wish you were a little taller.

Actually, my avvie isn't even remotely what I look like. I'm also not petite at all. I'm very very tall.

Sirith is a complete bundle of energy with extremely long hair and wild eyes. She is rather petite, I would agree.

Energy? Hoo yeah!
Extremely long hair? Actually, extremely short.
Wild eyes? Only when I'm emotional.
Petite? No.

I always thought Sirith was a slender little redhead, with an above-average number of freckles, lightly smattered across her nose and cheeks. Bright green eyes. Hair is stick-straight, and falls just to the base of her shoulder blades. It's cut layered, a la Lindsey Lohan in Freaky Friday, only no extra colors.

I suppose I am slender, but only in the warmer months when I go out rollerblading three miles everyday. And, yes, I do have many freckles, all on my nose and cheeks. My eyes actually change color with what I'm wearing or, again, if I'm emotional. When my hair was long, it was straight, but now I style it so it has a little more volume. Easy. Can't believe I didn't do it before. And my hair used to be cut in long layers too. So, Fea, you got the last year me. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

So, Fea, you got the last year me
Boo-yah!!! :D Last year is better than completely inaccurate. I suppose after using a random picture of me, I can't really expect anyone to try for my appearance again... :( At least nobody's gotten my style down yet. Hahaha.

Fea

[Sirithheruwen]

Boo-yah!!! Last year is better than completely inaccurate.

Too true.
Fea, you strike me as some one who constantly wears baggy black pants and a yellow tank top. But that's just me.

[Meela]

This is a bit dull, but I see a lot of you as looking like your name. This mostly applies to the ones with Lotr names, like Eomer of the Rohirrim, who therefore looks like Eomer dressed in a white t-shirt and ripped jeans, and The Only Real Estel, who dresses like a Ranger and likes hiking across moors in the mist.

Let's see.... Child of the 7th Age has short, blond curls and a cheerful smile and big blue/green eyes. Rather serious looking in a good-natured, responsible way.

Mister Underhill wears a hat (I don't know the name, but they wore them with suits in the 1930's). He doesn't wear the suit though.

Mad Baggins looks like his name: a Baggins. Short grey curls, glasses perched on the end of his nose, a slightly crazed look. And a waistcoat. Has the look of a cheerful and eccentric inventor.

Evisse the Blue: shoulder-length, dark brown curls. Wears blue gowns.

Witch-king: very tall.

Feanor of the Peredhil: the only word that comes to mind is pointy... pointy ears, I think. Sharp-witted, tall, slim, short dark and spiky hair. Very clever, wide grin and good sense of humour.

Sapphire_Flame: of medium height with flame-red, longish hair. Bright eyes, clear skin, rather a mystical look, like a spirit or an ancient goddess of war.

That's enough from me for now, I don't feel I know any of you well enough to describe you in detail. Otherwise my brain is so mooshy I just can't think of anyone clearly.

Sooo... there's my bit done. Who's gonna undertake the duty of describing my fair self? I want a minimum of five detailed descriptions, and all including the phrase "breathtakingly beautiful"...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

constantly wears baggy black pants and a yellow tank top
Well, I'd wear baggy black pants all the time if I had any... sadly I don't. Just a pair of fitted ones that are more dressy than not (and are a dog-hair magnet). :( As for yellow? *Full body shudder*. I abhorr the color yellow. Well, not really, since I'm an artist and I love using yellow in work. More accurately, I abhorr yellow clothing. But I do wear tank tops as much as I can.

the only word that comes to mind is pointy... pointy ears, I think. Sharp-witted, tall, slim, short dark and spiky hair. Very clever, wide grin and good sense of humour
Ooh, I'm pointy. I like being pointy; I always wanted pointy ears... As for sharp-witted, I don't really think so, but everybody else does, so now I just kind of accept the fact that I'm smart instead of saying "Am not." I don't believe it, but I accept it. I do too many stupid things to be brilliant like people insist on telling me. I rather wish they'd stop... For tall? That's where you hit off the mark. I'm only about 5'3"... Not particularly tall. But I like my height. Slim... yep. I'm pretty slender. For the hair, I was going to cut it really short and spiky... but I chickened out. I still hacked it myself, but not too short. Just short enough that it won't stay in a pony tail without half a dozen bobby pins. For the clever... I guess I am. Big smiles and a notorious sense of humor. Slightly warped when it comes to pranks and stuff, but I can always take jokes about myself. If I can't laugh at myself, who can I laugh at?

As for Meela's description... I can't really imagine her... all I know is that she's breathtakingly beautiful. And has one heck of a sense of humor.

Fea

[Elennar Starfire]

Fea wears plain coloured t-shirts with jean shorts when it's warm, and patterned turtleneck shirts or funky sweaters with jeans when it's cold. Her hair is usually just combed, except when she wants it out of her eyes, she then wears a ponytail.

Fea wears plain coloured t-shirts with jean shorts when it's warm, and patterned turtleneck shirts or funky sweaters with jeans when it's cold. Her hair is usually just combed, except when she wants it out of her eyes, she then wears a ponytail.
Sadly, I own very few plain coloured t-shirts. I'd like a few though. Jeans shorts? I don't wear them much... I can never find shorts that fit right AND fit my school's dress code, and I have no intent of paying for separate wardrobes for school versus everything else.

I detest turtlenecks, for the most part, altough I had a tight black ribbed one that I loved. And then my brothers came home from college and shrunk it doing laundry. :( I'm not much for sweaters, although I've got a tan one that I like.

Jeans? When it's cold? I wear jeans when its hot, when its cold, when its raining or sunny. I have the most perfect pair of jeans. Actually, two perfect pairs. But I've now got a new favorite pair of pants, thanks to my cousin's girlfriend. And they aren't jeans, surprisingly enough.

I do tend to wear my hair just combed with no other attention paid to it, but humidity is killing me by way of making my hair curl and defy the laws of physics, so lately it's been subjected to ponytails (with pins to keep it there) and inverted french braids (my hair is too short to stay in regular ones). So, all in all, a decent attempt, but not that accurate about my style. I really do have a simple style philosophy... but I'm not going to share it unless someone hits it spot-on. :D

Fea

[Sirithheruwen]

For the hair, I was going to cut it really short and spiky... but I chickened out. I still hacked it myself, but not too short. Just short enough that it won't stay in a pony tail without half a dozen bobby pins.

I'm the exact opposite! I wanted to get my hair cut short and spiky. My mom wanted to take me to a hairdresser because it was a really big cut (six or seven inches). I had a picture from a magazine and everything, but when I got there, my hairdresser used every excuse in the book to get me not to (and my Mom didn't help one bit.) "Your hair is too thick." (Actually, my hair is thick but not too thick). "Your face isn't the right shape." (It's oval. The perfect shape. ;) ) I ended up just getting a cut in under my earlobes. (For the record, my Dad agreed with me. Guys can get short and spiky cuts no matter what their face shape or hair type. I've vowed that next time I'm going to ignore them.)

Wow, that turned out to be a longer story than I anticipated! :rolleyes:

I imagine Meela as very pale, which isn't helped by the fact that she refuses to wear any color except black. She is very taken to black gowns, but when they happen to be in the wash, she wears a pair of tightish capris and a tunic-like top. (Black, of course.) She sometimes has clear grey eyes and sometimes electric blue eyes (I can't really decide) which turn blood red whenever she sees fire, from a little candle to a burning building. She is a good head taller than everyone on the street and enjoys looking down her "breathtakingly beautiful" snub nose menacingly at complete strangers and innocent civilians. (And I am dead serious on this, Meela. Dead serious. *puts on serious no-nonsense face*)

(And I am dead serious on this, Meela. Dead serious. *puts on serious no-nonsense face*)

Wow, that's very accurate! I'm very pale, and I do love black (wearing it right now, in fact), and yes mostly in gown form. I have grey/blue eyes - if it's cloudy they're grey, if it's sunny they're blue. Um... red eyes? Nice touch, pity it doesn't actually happen. Although when I'm not wearing all black I do like to splash out on red instead.
I'm not that tall, only around 5'7/5'8. But I do stare. At everyone! I love freaking little kids out by glaring at them, and I challenge would-be mockers of my black gowns with the Gaze of Mordor (a very powerful weapon if you know how to use it). Yes, I'm beautiful... *sigh*

[Sirithheruwen]

Wow, that's very accurate!

Woohoo! :D *does happiest dance*

Okay, I'm going to have another go at Fea's style:
We already know she wears jeans all the time. She also wears long black ranger-like jackets that cover any color shirt she might be wearing (even if it is a yellow tank top. :p )

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

What is it with girls and clothes....

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Gaze of Mordor (a very powerful weapon if you know how to use it)
That is indeed one very powerful weapon. Unless, like me, you've been exposed to it for a long time and have developed an immunity. I've got my own decent version of the Gaze of Mordor. I tend to simply call it the Death Glare. When you're REALLY mad and give off the Gaze... no words are required. People just shut up. Unless they're siblings, but that's life. :rolleyes:

We already know she wears jeans all the time. She also wears long black ranger-like jackets that cover any color shirt she might be wearing (even if it is a yellow tank top.)
I'm not wearing jeans right now. :p As a matter of fact, I am currently wearing the exact same pants and shirt I had on yesterday. I do rather like cool jackets though. I've got this great black leather duster, but I can't wear it to school and it's generally too heavy for daily use. But my favorite jacket... black leather. Fitted, but not tight. Makes me look good. :D

I must say though, you still haven't hit my style.


Fea

Edit: What is it with girls and clothes.... See the part where I wrote that I've been wearing the same outfit for several days? Not all of us care that much about style, but as I've given away my general appearance with my avatar, I'm left making them guess what I wear.

[ninlaith]

To answer your question, Eomer, it may sound weird but sometimes the clothes make the woman. Sometimes you can tell alot about a girls personality by what she is wearing and when she is wearing it. For girls it's almost always about how the outfit makes her feel about herself. I know it sounds like a bunch of hogwash but it can be sometimes true.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Meh. If I owned any nice clothes at all then maybe I could afford to care about how I looked. As it stands, indie-chic is perfectly acceptable and comfortable! :D

[ninlaith]

You sound pretty stylish to me Eomer! It's more like a personal flaw that most girls have when we care about the way we look. I wish we didn't have to feel that way. :rolleyes: . Me I'm particularly fond of guys who dress kinda indie-chic ( now don't start thinking!). They remind me of Dominic Monaghan. But hey who knew!? And that's the way it was. And that's the way the cookie crumbles.
I'm particular about what I wear only because I hate being uncomfortable. Sorry if I've turned this into a fashion thread BDer's. It'll get back on track soon enough. :D

[Sirithheruwen]

What is it with girls and clothes....

I wouldn't be the best one to tell you, for I do not know myself. I'm not one to care whether I look "hot" or not. (The pants I'm currently wearing I found in a pile on my closet floor. I had been wondering where they were for at least a month and a half. :rolleyes: ) Like Fea said, it's the only thing to guess about her since she put up her picture.

Elennar Starfire looks like Belle from the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. Don't ask me why.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Like Fea said, it's the only thing to guess about her since she put up her picture.
Although I suppose you could try to figure out what kind of shoes I like... ;)

[Firefoot]

I'm with Fea and Sirith on the topic of clothes: whatever fits and is comfortable!

Although I suppose you could try to figure out what kind of shoes I like... Let's see... if you're like me, you like good comfortable shoes, preferably running shoes, so that's my guess!

[Sirithheruwen]

Although I suppose you could try to figure out what kind of shoes I like...

I too will go for the only shoes I wear: a pair of comfy black flip-flops or bunny slippers. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I do like good, comfortable shoes, but running shoes? Not really. Somehow they throw off my balance entirely, and my stride changes. I don't own any bunny slippers, but I do certainly have some black flipflops.

Fea

[Saraphim]

What is it with girls and clothes....
I have a completly opposite piont of view, Eomer. I dress like a guy, and indeed have been mistaken for one many times. My pants are all ripped, frayed, and two sizes larger than what would fit me, my t-shirts all faded and in the same predicaments as my pants.

It frankly amazes me how so many girls spend so much time on hair, make-up and clothes. Meaning no disrespect to those who do, of course. :D

[Elennar Starfire]

What is it with girls and clothes....

Clothes are like chocolate. We don't expect men to understand. ;)

Since my looks are so easy to pin down (everyone who's guessed at me has gotten at least one thing right, Only Real Estel was farthest off), does anyone want to have a go at my style? It might be a bit harder...

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Elennar wears blue and pink. Very fluffy, frilly and cute clothes.

ninlaith, thanks very much! Its not the clothes that are stylish of course, but my essential spirit (that's what you meant, right?) :D My outgoing 'fire' does more than mere clothes ever could. Thus, I give the impression of being sharp and stylish, even though I look like a peasant from 18th century France.

[ninlaith]

That's exactly what I meant honestly! I've always found a person more interesting when they find their own sense of being. Be it clothes or the bookish-type or whatever else a person likes. Knowing about your indie-chic look and knowing a little something about Dominic Monaghan I would say you seem like just a fun loving guy. :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

*grins*

Though I look nothing like Dom. Actually, the Merry hairstyle isn't too far away. :D

[Elennar Starfire]

Elennar wears blue and pink. Very fluffy, frilly and cute clothes.

Heh...guess my style is harder to pin down...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Eomer, NOOOOO!!!! My world just flipped upside down when I saw the face of... dare I say it? Sideshow Bob (who, on last night's rerun was briefly Mayor Terwilliger). In the words of Lisa, he is certainly an ugmo. What about Eomer?

For a description: Ninlaith strikes me as being a drop-dead gorgeous blonde, with a sweet disposition and she has NO idea whatsoever of how beautiful she really is.

It's nice to know I have that effect Fea. ;)

[ninlaith]

Awww Fea you really got me! :( . That's sweet. I really don't know what to say anymore. You've rendered me speechless. I am blonde but I don't really think I'm drop-dead-gorgeous. More like decomposing-six-feet-under.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

It's nice to know I have that effect Fea
You have that effect, Eomer? I think not. It was simply the unexpected sight of Bart Simpson's arch-enemy. :D

I really don't know what to say anymore.
In which case it is probably best to accept the compliment and say nothing whatsoever. Your internet persona reminds me vividly of a good friend of mine, and that's a great compliment, and nice to see.

[Elennar Starfire]

Eomer usually wears jeans and a t-shirt, but with argyle socks.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I wear flares. And capes. No-one guessed that yet did they?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I wear flares. And capes. No-one guessed that yet did they?
I had a nagging suspicion, but I didn't want to mention it. Is the cape full length, a la Batman? Or half length, a la Legos...?

I'm starting to develop an interesting image of lindil wearing a full set of monk's robes... and carrying a gavel. How odd.

Fea

[ninlaith]

I really hope Eomer doesn't wear argyle socks! I just think they're funny. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope made a joke about them in one of their movies together. It was funny......anyway!.....Elennar I possibly see some three-quarter sleeved shirts in your wardrobe and maybe some 20's and 30's sweaters like Marilyn Monroe used to wear. It's just a guess I'm most likely wrong.

[Witch-King]

Witch-king: very tall.

Well, you got that right. So far 1 for 1.

[Elennar Starfire]

I can't stand three-quarter sleeved shirts...they bunch uncomfortably in my elbows. The sweater thing...I do like sweaters, but you've not got what kind of sweaters I like.

[Lhunardawen]

Wow...in a week this thread has gone on to imagining the styles of BDers. I've missed a lot.

By the way, thanks a lot, Elven Hunter. :mad:

Elennar doesn't like dressing too girly, judging from her reaction to Eomer's guess.

Eomer, do you wear a helmet that has horse hair stuck to it, too? :D

And for some reason, I think ninlaith likes wearing skirts. Don't ask why. :)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I have never worn horse hair. Nor Argyle socks.

My capes are full length and very heavy. The best effect is to trudge slowly along the road in heavy rain while wearing one. That looks fantastic.

And lindil definitely wears robes, and possibly a crown of leaves.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

My parents have just had some friends round for dinner. One of them, who had not seen me in probably 2 years, said something which may prove useful in this thread.

Namely, that I look like the Marc Bolan of 1970. Because it is so hard to describe a face, that is what I'm giving to you! :D

[ninlaith]

Sorry Elennar I like three-quarter sleeves so i was just guessing. And sorry but no skirts for this girl. I'm more or less the girl who wears the rolled up fabric pants all the time. What can I say...I like "The Hobbit" look. And sorry I've never seen a picture of Marc Bolan and if it's the one I'm thinking of I think he did a little more composing than he did acting which is probably why I've never seen him.. Sorry I got a little carried away.

[Elennar Starfire]

Ninlaith, its your mental image, so you can imagine me in three-quarter length sleeves if ye like. I like how they look, they just aren't comfortable.

[Sirithheruwen]

Ninlaith, its your mental image...

Yes, that brought up another point. Is it just me, but even when a person corrects you, does your image change? I sure as heck know that mine doesn't! I just wanted to know if I was the only one...

[Elennar Starfire]

It depends on if the correction clashes with my mental image...like the difference between blue eyes and green eyes doesn't much change anything, but the difference between blonde and dark brown hair might change it to light brown...it really depends. I don't know. Sometimes!

[elronds_daughter]

no skirts for this girl. I'm more or less the girl who wears the rolled up fabric pants all the time. What can I say...I like "The Hobbit" look. same here. my friends think i'm crazy. i'm wearing rolled-up pants in 85 degree weather; they say "You're nuts. Why don't you just wear shorts?!" i say, "I hate shorts. that's why." but i will wear guy's shorts. they work for me, but that's probably because the ones i like come down just below my knee....:D

Cheers!

Elrond's (other) daughter

[Gil-Galad]

Though i gave up searching pretty easy...i've only found one description of me

And Gil-Galad
6 feet
67 kg
long black hair
Uh, purple eyes?


6 feet is close, not sure what 67 kg's in pounds are but i guess thats close too...the last 2 are way off...purple eyes...*shakes head*

so if any others would try to guess at the mysterious identity of the Gil-Galadster...thing...king guy.... have fun....i better hit the dusty trail early i guess................woop found the fire exit

[Elven Hunter]

I could imagine Eowyn Skywalker wearing a cape and holding a light saber while typing posts for BD. Sweet..

HerenIstarion would be a tall guy with curly hair and brown eyes who has a great sense of humor, cheery outside but mysterious inside..

When I imagine Estelyn Telcontar I always come to think that she looks like her avatar. I guess she's a lot more serious than Fiona but she also has long straight hair. I just don't know its color, maybe dark brown?

:D

[Mithalwen]

Isn't it HIin his avatar?

And 67kgs would be about 147 pounds (ten and a half stone in British money.. ;) )

[Amanaduial the archer]

Elven Hunter - hmm, I can imagine typing while holding a light sabre could be rather inconvenient - not to mention if you got over-enthusiatic about a thread and dropped it. Mmm, smell that burnin' carpet, yeaaah... :smokin:

Isn't it HIin his avatar? Ah, but that, dear girl, is the beauty of this thread. With the creation of the Barrowdowns Photo Gallery (http://www.hallsofmandos.net/downs.htm), many of the Downers RL images can be seen. But that's not necessarily how you imagine them to look - my mental image of many of the Downers is very different from what they actually look like!

But yes, that is HI - and may I just say, Heren, you make it very difficult to create a whole new mental image when your real face is staring at me from further up a page, sir! ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The best effect is to trudge slowly along the road in heavy rain while wearing one. That looks fantastic
Indeed, that effect is mimicked very nicely with a long, black leather jacket. And your hair blowing out behind you in the wind.

And no, my perceptions rarely change much, regardless of how inaccurate we are told they are.

Fea

[Mithalwen]

Yes but ifyou know what someone looks like it is a bit pointless and peverse to imagine them differently ..... but then I know what I look like and I still like to think of myself as looking more like Cate Blanchett..... and the reality is well ....nevermind ...since noone is guessing I'm not saying... :D

Interesting link ...but who is who..... ?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Composing? Acting? ninlaith, I think you have been getting carried away... :p

Anyway, my dad told me I look more like Jim Morrison than Marc Bolan, so take your pick. I'm happy either way! :)

As regards Sirith's point, I tend to agree. I have a vivid image of Sirith which (though completely innacurate) is too hard to let go of!

[ninlaith]

I know what Jim Morrison looks like. If you look like him you're a lucky guy on that account. Jim Morrison is alot better than Side-show Bob. :p

[Gil-Galad]

And 67kgs would be about 147 pounds (ten and a half stone in British money.. ;) )


so i am pictured as a tall sort of skinny guy...indeed...

[Lhunardawen]

And sorry but no skirts for this girl.

Just shows how wide my imagination is...I told you so... :(

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

no skirts for this girl. I'm more or less the girl who wears the rolled up fabric pants all the time
Way back when (pre-Summer-Vacation), I'd have said the same exact thing. I still prefer rolled up pants to say... shorts... but as of this summer, my fashion sense has changed drastically. Come September and the start of school, I'm gonna have some shocked friends. :D

If it helps you picture me NOW, my taste in clothes used to be straight up pants. I much preferred pants to say... shorts, skirts, or *shudder* capris. Shirts were anything but pink and purple (with one obvious exception, but I didn't wear that shirt much). Generally, my style reflected the fact that I wanted my guy friends to count me as one of the guys, and if they were visually reminded that I'm a girl, they would get all flirty and annoying... terrifying really.

I'd say the major "fashion rule" that applies to my before and after taste in clothes is this: It had better be comfortable, and cover everything important.

Fea

PS- I really want a kilt... :(

[Mithalwen]

Speaking as someone who's "Sunday Best" ( despite not possessing a drop of Scots blood) was a kilt for longer than I care to think about (my great aunt bought them and we had to wear them ....and then when we grew I got my elder sister's as a hand-me-down :( ) I wouldn't reccommend them ...especially if you want comfort... they are seriously hot, and scratchy beyond the aid of petticoats and they are usually in the foulest colour combinations imaginable ..... mine's only redeeming feature was that they were plain and not plaid....

However as formal dress for highland scots MEN.... thy have a certain appeal... irrisistable fascination almost ..... maybe it is that men look so good in formal wear..... or maybe it is the sporrans.... :p

[Elennar Starfire]

However as formal dress for highland scots MEN.... thy have a certain appeal... irrisistable fascination almost ..... maybe it is that men look so good in formal wear..... or maybe it is the sporrans....

I must agree...Don't know why...Maybe it's the plaid? But plaid pants are majorly ugly...meh, I don't know!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I wouldn't reccommend them ...especially if you want comfort...
In which case, I suppose I won't get one. And, of course, that I also have no Scottish blood whatsoever...

I think I've discovered the mysterious allure to men in kilts. Scotsmen seem to be some of the small and proud group of men who have no qualms about wearing something that looks generally skirt-like. That, to me, shows confidence. All hail the Scotsmen and their kilt-wearing abilities!

Fea

[Mithalwen]

Well if I was to hazard a more serious guess I might say it suggested a certain confidence in themselves and their masculinity that they were prepared to go out like that..... macho but not too mucho ..... mind you I think it requires nice knees to carry it off ....

[Mithalwen]

ooh cross posting......

We spent ages trying to find a tartan but no family surname for about 300 years was listed .... lol....

[Elennar Starfire]

I know mine...it's MacLeod...I call it the bumblebee tartan because it's yellow and black with bitty red stripes...

[the phantom]

I just got sick of guys checking me out all the time
if they were visually reminded that I'm a girl, they would get all flirty and annoying
Well, it sounds like we should all start imagining this fellow downer as really hot if guys are always checking her out and getting flirty.

(it's funny you're so annoyed, FotP, when I know plenty of girls that would kill to be able to say that stuff) :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

(it's funny you're so annoyed, FotP, when I know plenty of girls that would kill to be able to say that stuff)
I know girls of the same mentality. They scare me. ;)

I have nothing against being girly, I just prefer to be thought of and treated as "one of the guys". I wear a skirt, they treat me like a girl, and in their minds, you can't tell off-colour jokes to girls... you can't snowboard/sled or go shoot stuff with a girl... you can't watch a hockey game while downing a large pizza with a girl... So I'll wear what they do (sometimes literally; if the need arises, I'll borrow their clothes until mine are wearable again) and avoid the makeup scene (foundation scares me. I don't know it's use, and have no desire to learn it.) unless I actually WANT to remind them all that I'm female.

As for me being "really hot"... think what you will. I'll niether accept nor deny the allegations. :p

Fea

[Elennar Starfire]

I just use cover-up when I've got a really nasty red sort of pimple, and occasionally mascara (but only on very special occasions). I do have lipstick, eyeshadow, etc...but that's my stage makeup. So my face doesn't get washed-out by all those bright lights shining on me.

It's true...nobody tells dirty jokes if ye're dressed girly...or they'll refuse to explain if ye don't get it, which is even more annoying.

I'm just oblivious to guys checking me out...I've never noticed, but other people have...I was at the mall once with my mom to buy my friend a birthday present and when we were in the car on the way home my mom said she'd seen a guy checking me out...I didn't even notice if there were any guys there! I'm oblivious a lot of the time, actually...

[ninlaith]

I'm not completly against getting all dolled up. Only when I'd like to hear "Hey you clean up nice." But wearing makeup and dress clothes to school can feel so binding sometimes. But it's nice once in awhile. But I'm all about the comfort. I'll admit I can get a litle flirty in my dolled up times but that will never be helped. Sometimes when ya feel pretty ya act pretty I guess.

[The Only Real Estel]

Since my looks are so easy to pin down (everyone who's guessed at me has gotten at least one thing right, Only Real Estel was farthest off

Pah, a joking description doesn't count against my record ;)!

[elronds_daughter]

wearing makeup and dress clothes to school can feel so binding sometimes. Very true. Not that I'd know, really, me being homeschooled. But I rarely even dress up for church, and the whole rest of my family does. I just wear a decent pair of pants and a decent-looking T-shirt.


I know girls of the same mentality. They scare me. Same here. It's alarming.

I have nothing against being girly, I just prefer to be thought of and treated as "one of the guys". I wear a skirt, they treat me like a girl, and in their minds, you can't tell off-colour jokes to girls... you can't snowboard/sled or go shoot stuff with a girl... you can't watch a hockey game while downing a large pizza with a girl... So I'll wear what they do Very, very true. I'm with ya, girl!


So.....

Anybody have any mental images of me yet? (And even if you don't, I just gave you major grounds to go on. Give it a shot!)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

elronds_daughter, I find it near-impossible to imagine you as humanoid because of your bizarre avatar. :D

Regarding kilts, isn't it logical to just wrap yourself in cloth rather than waste time bothering to stitch legs into it? Back in the day, Scots folk were too busy fighting the Vikings/English and catching wild animals for supper to busy themselves with fine clothing. Plus, it's an established fact that Scotsmen have wonderful legs. ;) Well, at least before the junk-food tidal wave swept over the country. :(

[Mithalwen]

Having seen your pic ... I doubt you will need foundation for about another 20 years FYI it is like plastering a wall but at least on me vaguely orange.....lol ..... just drink loads of water, and use sunscreen -( it really does make sense), tinted moisturiser is a good alternative for evening out skin tone if you (like me) dislike a lot of make up....

All true...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

FYI it is like plastering a wall
Indeed? I have plastered walls before, and always found it to be somewhat like putting icing on a cake. ;) It always entertains me when I walk through the makeup aisles of stores and haven't the foggiest what most of the products do. "What's this?" "Toner." "Huh? Do I need it?" "No, not really." "Oh good."

Mith, ever since you mentioned that I look like a friend of yours, I've been trying to pin your appearance (and age). It's not working particularly well. Elusive as Eomer, you are. I tend to see you wearing fitted (but not tight) cords, and button up shirts, with an air of confidence. Actually, you remind me of a more down-to-earth version of my favorite aunt (not my god-mother; I have a lot of aunts...). Young, but not a youngin' like most of us around here these days. Longish dark hair that is neither exactly red nor brown. If you wear glasses, they are a pair of wire-rims that are both subtle and sophisticated. Small children love you. But that's just my imaginings, and are probably far from the truth. Alas, that's life.

Fea

[Mithalwen]

Aww.... well those are nice thoughts but apart from age fairly wide of the mark .... I am not young like most of the people here are young but I couldn't say I was old.... not old enough to be mother to all but the youngest here .... legally anyway... I gave away my height on another thread ...... the hair .... well red is involved ....and it is longish .... generally cos I am not organised enough to get it cut rather than as a style statement these days..... clothes are way off... I own neither cords or a button down shirt .... but my clothes fall into two main categories which fall to either side of that look ....

A recent eyetest has delayed the return to glasses a little longer (as well as kilts my child hood was blighted by a pair of blue plastic NHS glasses with sellotape over one lens, which of course I only wore when my parents or teacher were watching ....) but I do have fondness for sunglasses .... I have a spendid pair of authentic Agent Smith style ones but those currently keeping the hair from my eyes are green..... very green.... lol

Oh yes small children do like me..... the feeling isn't always mutual .... some are lovely others really annoying ....... but that often depends on the parents... :D

[Mithalwen]

Anyway, my dad told me I look more like Jim Morrison than Marc Bolan, so take your pick. I'm happy either way! :)

Jim Morrison in a kilt :p :smokin: now there's a thought "before I slip into unconsciousness......"

[elronds_daughter]

elronds_daughter, I find it near-impossible to imagine you as humanoid because of your bizarre avatar. really? you think it's bizarre? how can Larry the cucumber (as one of the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything) possibly be bizarre? a bit odd, perhaps, but hardly bizarre. ;):D

For any of you still inclined to try to describe me, I'll give you a hint: I'm far from anyone's description of "old" (except maybe a five-year-old's...;))

[Firefoot]

Larry the cucumber (as one of the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything) That's my favorite VeggieTales song... Larry is my favorite character too. I don't think it's bizarre. I haven't seen one of those movies in a while though.

Anyhow, Elrond's daughter, you are around 5'6", pony-tailed brown hair, jeans and t-shirt, athletic shoes or flip-flops, brown hair.

Mithalwen, even with your (vague) description of yourself I have a hard time getting a picture of you. I think that avvies do help even when you don't think the person looks like it. Maybe that's just me.

Fea, new avvie? Roses, I think, right?

On the topic of make-up: WHO NEEDS IT??? My mom is trying to get me interested right now, and got me some the other day. :rolleyes: I am just fine without it, won't wear it.

[ninlaith]

We are the pirates who don't do anything...

Oh where is my hairbrush
Oh where is my hairbrush


Everybody's got a water buffalo
Yours is fast but mine is slow

So tell me ,elronds_daughter, how were you introduced to the hilarity that is VeggieTales? It might give me a hint on your appearance.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea, new avvie? Roses, I think, right?
Indeed. It took ages to resize and reformat the picture (my computer wasn't working right, so I had to use a program I'm unfamiliar with), but it's one of my favorites.

Oh yes small children do like me..... the feeling isn't always mutual .... some are lovely others really annoying ....... but that often depends on the parents...
I know how you feel, Mith. Small children tend to love me, but... as you said, I don't always like them that much. I like to be able to play with them and hand them back off to their parents when they start to cry. :rolleyes:

[Morsul the Dark]

stands in corner looks at all the names....

Perky is a middle aged man married with children about 5'10 5'11 balding has black hair and mustache which is curly like the stuff on his head...way off most likely

but then again you all look...and sound yes i imagine your voices like people i work with go to school with or just know sadly...

Gil-Galad your like my cousin and if your a guy then Im sorry because I magine you as the perfect straight A swimteam captain.

I will now ask for a favor...someone do me please

[elronds_daughter]

Anyhow, Elrond's daughter, you are around 5'6", pony-tailed brown hair, jeans and t-shirt, athletic shoes or flip-flops, brown hair. Wow.... That's pretty close. But the hair is waaaaay off. try again. The hight is disturbingly close, but not right on. And I more often wear cordouroys than jeans. However, I almost always wear my running shoes (they're quite well broken in... I need new ones.For running, that is. My current ones are just fine for wearing all the time.) And if I have to have shoes on a hot day, flip-flops are a blessing. They're as close to barefoot as you can get in a "no-shirt-no-shoes-no-service" place. :D
I'll give you another hint...... I sometimes get mistaken for a guy. And it doesn't bother me. It bugs my mom, but not me.


So tell me, elronds_daughter, how were you introduced to the hilarity that is VeggieTales? It might give me a hint on your appearance. Well..... That would've been way back when I was a small-ish tyke of about 8. Or something like that. My mother got out a Veggie Tales video from the library, and I immediately loved it. I think the video was the "Are You My Neighbor?" one. Either that, or it was "Where's God When I'm S-s-scared!?"

Anyway.... now here's for my images of a select few---

The Perky Ent is male, around 17, has sandy hair and his green eyes are flecked with gold. He has glasses, but wears his contacts more often, because his opinion is that glasses just get in the way. He wears T-shirts, jeans, and broken-in athletic shoes. He's 5'10", but would like to be taller.

Feanor of the Peredhil, I've seen you picture, but it didn't give many hints as to hight. You are 5'7", have grey-blue eyes, long-ish straight brown hair, and like to be comfortable. ;)

Morsul the Dark, you are male, 5'10" or above, have 1 inch long dark brown hair, dark grey eyes. You wear baggy jeans and T-shirts, and spend a lot of time at your computer, but not because you don't like people. You can frequently be found hanging out with your friends. There. I described you. Happy? ;)

Cheers!

My picture must have been more vague than I had thought. And now I've turned into a pile of roses... alas for the cruelty of the world. ;)

Morsul the Dark: When I saw that your name is Andrew on another thread, I seem to remember dropping the bagel I was holding. My dog thanks you. I, however, was astounded, as I thought for sure you were a 15-year-old blonde girl with a penchant for heavy metal music and other such "dark" things. I am still having a series of issues imagining you as an Andrew (I know a few of them, and I don't really WANT to imagine you as one of that group) so you are currently stuck in the "Andrea Void". I am working relentlessly to get you out, and will soon get back to you when my imaginings encompass the correct gender.

Why can't i be a male straight A Swimteam Captain?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Why can't i be a male straight A Swimteam Captain?
Where's the fun of that? I personally see you as this: about 16, with brownish gold hair and you like hockey. You aren't all that tall (about 5'8") but you aren't short either. Good sense of humor, but your jokes tend to float over people's heads most of the time.

heh i actually am pretty buff...(using weights ya know) don't worry i'm not psychotic...or am i...

[Morsul the Dark]

i can answer that you are psycotic :p acually Im average muscle build I work out a little but not a lot just to keep at a reasonable weight

[Lhundulinwen]

I just imagine that all the moderators have a slight contoling-neat freak streak in them. (And thank goodness they do! The world would fall apart without them!) Everybody else.... hum, I just think as everybody else as regular people. The pics I have seen though kinda prove that wrong.... lol.

[The Perky Ent]

Perky is a middle aged man married with children about 5'10 5'11 balding has black hair and mustache which is curly like the stuff on his head...way off most likely

Woah Woah Woah Morsul! Don't go spreadin stuff like that! Wayyyyyy off! Wayyy wayyy wayyy off! Like, from Utah to Alpha Centuri off!

The Perky Ent is male, around 17, has sandy hair and his green eyes are flecked with gold. He has glasses, but wears his contacts more often, because his opinion is that glasses just get in the way. He wears T-shirts, jeans, and broken-in athletic shoes. He's 5'10", but would like to be taller.



Elrond's Daughter got pretty close. I am male (no duh), not 17 though. That's off. No sandy hair, not green eyes. No glasses, though I'm gonna need them in a year or two, and when that time comes, I probably will use contacts! I wear tons of broken-in rotting athletic shoes, t-shires, and jeanes. I wish I was 5'10", but i've got time :D

[Morsul the Dark]

Sorry Perky just how I see ya switching image oops image changer jammed ur stuck in my head like that
ill get out eventually

I don't know...

Dark in skin
Dark as a Morsul
Dark as in evil (i think i put more faith in this :D)

You know better.

[Morsul the Dark]

yes according to my friends i am the most evil good person around

[The Perky Ent]

But then, of course, that was close to my discription if I wasn't an ent :D

[Morai]

although you come to me as a girl with black hair pale blue eyes and an odd liking of pink sweaters....

Man, I wish I had black hair and pale blue eyes. Though I used to obessed with pink, I usually wear more red and black now. In reality, I'm sort of dirty blonde with greenish brown eyes. And yes I am a girl. Good guess though! (In fact keep imagining me like that if you wish.)

heh i actually am pretty buff...(using weights ya know) don't worry i'm not psychotic...or am i...
Yay! I was right, I think. I would consider psychotic as a compliment, but that's probably just me.

[ninlaith]

You know Perky Ent your name is pretty comical. It's sort of an oxy-moron. I know you're probably thinking "You are a moron if you just figured that out!" But you said that you wish you were 5'10" so I'm assuming you're under 17 and still have time to go through growth spirts or you're way over 17 and will no longer be growing. I think the first of the two is a little closer to the correct answer.

[elronds_daughter]

Perky, my opinion of your age has been lowered, considering your question about the ring shrinking... very immature. you disrupted my image of you!!! bad, bad boy. now you're either 13 or 14, but probably the latter. Younger than I am, instead of older. (oops! did i just give out a clue???:eek:;) start changing your wrong images of me, quick!! :p)

[Firefoot]

Perky - I must admit, I purposefully try to imagine you at least a year or two older than you actually are (this is visible in his profile, for all of you out there) because you are in actuality only two months older than my brother... you get the picture. :D So, to my imagining you are 14 or 15, 5'8", light brown hair (despite that you said you don't... whatever), and brown eyes.

Hm, Sirith said in the Know Yer Mates (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=344125#post344125) thread that almost everybody imagines me with red hair here... :eek: I'll just let you think that. :D

[elronds_daughter]

:eek:YIKE!!!:eek: I just read Perky's profile, and he's definitely more mature than I have given him credit for. And don't worry, Perky, you've got plenty of time to get taller. ;)

[Morsul the Dark]

wow Perky is alot younger than i thought I thought he was at least older than i was oh well sorry I will now trully convert your image to.....That kid across the street curly brown hair about 5'5 ainclined to be well-built if you get my meaning...i know you have curly hair dont deny it!

[Lhunardawen]

Oh my. The whole time I was thinking The Perky Ent is a girl. Sorry for my ignorance... :(

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

A reluctant sigh escapes Fea's lips...

I wasn't going to say anything, feeling incredibly ignorant, but as I'm not the only one, now I don't feel as bad. Perky, I also thought you were a girl. A very pretty 15-year-old one, if it helps. Blonde hair, blue eyes... Average build....

Lhuna, you are Eowyn. I know this is completely inaccurate, but my imagination likes to toy with the saner side of my brain.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Oooo! Oooo! Guess me! Guess me!

[Sirithheruwen]

Perky's even younger than me! Now that surprises me. I imagined him (yes, him) as about 16 or 17.

This has started as a discussion of how you imagined other BDers but has turned to a full-blown discussion of Perky and his age and maturity. :rolleyes: :p

[Morsul the Dark]

Sleepy Ranger

Dark Male about 5'9 muscular build dresses skateboardish(you know what I mean?)

Fea did you drop another bagel when you found out Perky was a guy? :p

[The Only Real Estel]

Sleepy Ranger: Has an eye for a cool Van Helsing avatars & probably has seen the movie at least once. He is not a girl-not even a pretty 15 year-old ;). I'm guessing you are about 14-16, brownish hair, you'd rather be called 'Sleepy' instead of 'Sleepy Ranger', & you like quote games. You like Linkin Park, & your favorite movies are action movies rated PG-13 (Van Helsing, Spiderman, X-Men, Lord of the Rings, Signs, King Arthur, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Village, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, etc., etc., etc. :p).

Van Helsing rocks...... I loved the movie (Despite bad reviews) and I loved the PS2 game, it was brilliant.. I finished it. Rather short though. Took me 2 and half hours. (2 hours 29 minutes and 10 seconds) Before I start discussing Van Helsing here I'll move on. Browinsh hair, Kind of. And yes I'd rather be called Sleepy. And unlike what most people think its not becuase I'm always asleep, its because I'm pretty much never asleep.

You know all my favorite movies, how nice. Have we met before? Hey you wouldn't happen to be the person whi I watch movies with, would you?

[The Only Real Estel]

And unlike what most people think its not becuase I'm always asleep, its because I'm pretty much never asleep

And because Ranger is the occupation, not part of the name ;).

[elronds_daughter]

Hmm.... it seems that we have a lot of people thinking that The Perky Ent is a girl, and it's interesting to note that they're all girls...

This has started as a discussion of how you imagined other BDers but has turned to a full-blown discussion of Perky and his age and maturity.
Too true, Sirith, too true... ya know, somebody ought to start a thread on that topic. then we could all pick on Perky!!:D just kidding.;)

Cheers!

Elrond's (other) daughter

[ninlaith]

Elronds_daughter, You remind me of a friend I had when I was younger and she loved Veggie Tales so I'm gonna take a crack at it. You seem like the type of girl who likes to have fun but can educate the people around her with "useless" knowledge...example: "Did you know a cockroach can live seven days without its head?" that sort of thing. You have blond hair, green eyes, and are about 5'5' maybe. It's just a guess I know I'm wrong

[Firefoot]

"Did you know a cockroach can live seven days without its head?" Is that really true??? :eek:

Now, to make this post on topic. :cool: (<-- I don't think I've ever used this smilie before). Originally (a few months ago) I imagined Perky as a 30-something year old woman. Poor Perky!

[InklingElf]

yes according to my friends i am the most evil good person around

:) And in truth you are.

elronds_daughter:I don't know if you saw my post in Best Avatars but I was rooting for Larry!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea did you drop another bagel when you found out Perky was a guy?
:p

Actually, I just kind of didn't think about it, and then I found out for a second time and wasn't holding food at that point. A rare occurance, but eh. I guess I can't always be holding bagels when I'm proven wrong.

Fea

[InklingElf]

I have to admit, I was in some kind of a trivial debate with myself in deciding Perky's gender (:eek: I'm so sorry!) -- it's rare to find guys with "perky" in their username -- but it's cool all the same.

[elronds_daughter]

It's just a guess I know I'm wrong
Just a guess?! Wrong?!? You're the closest one yet! My eyes, however, are not green. Take another guess.





elronds_daughter:I don't know if you saw my post in Best Avatars but I was rooting for Larry!
Were you? Thanks. It's nice to know that somebody likes my avatar.:D

[The Only Real Estel]

Hmm.... it seems that we have a lot of people thinking that The Perky Ent is a girl, and it's interesting to note that they're all girls...

Fortunately no one's made that mistake with me...I used to get plenty of "Estel, I thought you were a girl" in the BD Chat room :p!

[Morsul the Dark]

let it be known I always thought Perky was a guy(because I thought a female would use entwife) but I was way way off about his age....

[Lhunardawen]

Lhuna, you are Eowyn. I know this is completely inaccurate, but my imagination likes to toy with the saner side of my brain.

I am Eowyn. Just not physically, though. :)

Oh no...another manifestation of my ignorance. But this time, I thought Firefoot is a guy. Sorry!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Estel, it makes you think that people aren't quite as obsessive as they make out to be. When you consider that, when faced with your screenname, they immediately think of our name Estelle as opposed to one of Tolkien's major characters. On a Tolkien board. Gah.

[Encaitare]

What an intriguing thread!

I do tend to associate users with their avvies... ie: Evisse is blue and glowing (that was her old avatar anyway), the Saucepan Man really does wear a pot on his head all the time, and Morsul is a giant floating letter "M"...

Actually, Morsul, you kinda destroyed my image of you! I thought of you as the kind of guy who sits in front of his computer or TV playing video games, clad in black t-shirts and listening to rock music, maybe Howard Stern... but I guess not! :D So let me try again. I still think you've got dark hair, I know for a fact you've got glasses because you said so on the "Geeks?" thread... relatively tall, and you won't hesitate to wear the same article of clothing for a week straight.

Sorry if it's blatantly wrong... :cool:

I thought the Perky Ent was a girl too! Maybe it's just because I don't think of guys as "Perky." Sorry Perky!

[Morsul the Dark]

I do sit in front of my computer and tv all day....looks down..well I changed yesterday for work but before that I had 8 days off where I didnt change so yeah... Sorry to be so blunt lol :p

I also like the idea of being a giant floating M

oh and upon finding that Inkling is actually a girl I would have to say as opposed to looking like Scott Bakula I think you could quite possibly look like...one of the prettier geniuses of our time Janeane Garofalo

[Encaitare]

looks down..well I changed yesterday for work but before that I had 8 days off where I didnt change so yeah... --Morsul

::shrugs:: No big, lol. I've been wearing the same pants for two days; I'm sure I've worn them earlier this week, and I'll probably wear them tomorrow too... they're so comfortable!

I haven't been here that long, but anyone want to take a guess about me?

[Morsul the Dark]

At first you seem gothlike Grima and see boromir die and such...but looking closer you come to me as so, Blonde hair in a ponytail Green Contacts sort of trendy clothes Express, limited, and such, but also owning a lot of "geek clothes" like the lotr shirts and costumes

[Encaitare]

Wow... thats creepily close. Are you a stalker?? :D

You got the blonde part right, although I don't like how I look with a ponytail. It's either pigtails, elfy braids, or just down and straight. I do have green eyes and I wear contact lenses (although I was too lazy to put em in today!). I'm actually not into Express or the Limited or anything; I'm more of a Hot Topic/Wet Seal/Kohl's sorta chick. I guess you could say I'm sort of gothish, it really depends on how I'm feeling each day. And I adore my geek clothes! (As I tell my painfully preppy sister, I have fashion sense, I just choose not to use it :D)

[Morsul the Dark]

Wow... thats creepily close. Are you a stalker?? :D
the black M knows all ;)

ARE YOU MY CLONE!? Just kidding. Though I don't have green eyes...and I dyed my hair two days ago. (And I'm not telling what color it is...yet.) Though our style and siblings sound a lot alike. Of course, my "youngest sister" is a jock and a prep at the same time. She clames to be a tomboy while she's lots of hours and money on beauty products.

[elronds_daughter]

I dyed my hair two days ago. (And I'm not telling what color it is...yet.) Let me guess.........








HOT PINK! ;)

[Sapphire_Flame]

From Sirithheruwen:
Saphire_Flame: Short, shoulder-length curly brown hair, laughs a lot, perky, outgoing, blues eyes, female.

Perky? o.O I've been described as insane, weird, hyper, scary, and as having had too much sugar, but never as perky. You got the laughs a lot bit right. I am a girl. Yes to curly hair, but it's not shoulder length, and is only kind of brown. I don't know your definition of short, so I can't comment on that. I'm not really outgoing, actually... So I guess you're about half right! ^ ^

From Meela:
Sapphire_Flame: of medium height with flame-red, longish hair. Bright eyes, clear skin, rather a mystical look, like a spirit or an ancient goddess of war.

*hugs Meela* I'm so flattered you think that's what I look like!

Okay, my turn to guess...

dancing spawn of ungoliant I see as having short, dark hair that's maybe a little wavy. She's about 5' 5", and has dark eyes (not sure what colour, but a darker shade of whatever colour they are!).

Morgul Queen, affectionately known as Morgy to her friends, appears in my mind as being Maori. She's about 5' 7" and generally has an e-vile glint in her eyes. She likes playing rugby. And when she's at the computer she sits cross-legged with her knees on the computer table.

the phantom always reminds me of a friend of mine: about 5' 11", dark hair, dark eyes, something of a theatre geek, and always wears black.

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[Morsul the Dark]

the phantom dresses in goth clothes or my name isnt Andrew Edward Ma........
hes tall taller than me about 6'3 skinny black hair slick back like Malfoy's from HP and has his eyebrow pierced hes a very creepy fellow in my mind

[Sirithheruwen]

I don't know your definition of short, so I can't comment on that.

About 5'. (Sorry if I'm completely wrong!)

And I agree with you about the eyebrow piercing on the phantom, Morsul.

[Elennar Starfire]

Ye know, ye're right...Phantom definately has an eyebrow piercing...Don't know why I didn't think of it...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I disagree entirely about the phantom. No eyebrow piercings (no piercings at all, in fact), no black hair, no exceptionally tallness. The phantom is about 5'8", has tawny brown hair, and grey eyes that scare the bejeezus out of most people (if only for the unusual coloring). His hair is somewhat like mine (not that I mean to compare you to a girl, but eh...): on the short side, but for a guy, I guess is would be considered longish. Rather floppy and laid back looking (the hair). However, to hide his not-so-terrifying appearance, the phantom owns a long black cloak and a very operatic white mask.

Fea

[Morai]

Let me guess......... HOT PINK!

I wish, but no. Though sometimes it kinda seems that way in the sun.

Okay, I guess I should guess (PUN!) somebody since I haven't in a while....
Saphire_Flame: I agree with Meela. I imagine you with bright redish/ orangish hair. Freckily skin and wears blue. (Don't ask me why, probably the name.)

[Sapphire_Flame]

Saphire_Flame: I agree with Meela. I imagine you with bright redish/ orangish hair. Freckily skin and wears blue. (Don't ask me why, probably the name.)

*grins* If blue jeans would count as wearing blue, then you got that one. :D No freckles. Hair is not bright red or orange.

About 5'.

Taller. ^ ^

I'm not going to give away a whole lot. Sorry. I love hearing what my typing makes me look like. (Does that make any sense?)

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

*PS* - *points at name* It's Sapphire_Flame. There are two p's in the word sapphire. Sorry, but that really bugs me sometimes. ^ ^;;;

[Sirithheruwen]

Taller.

5' 1/4"? :p Sorry, I'm not about to give up my image of you yet! :)

[Sapphire_Flame]

I won't make you give up your image, but, for the sake of accuracy, I'll give the truth: I'm 5' 8". :D

Okay, I'll guess again.

Sirithheruwen, I really do picture you looking like your avvie. You're about... 5' 6". And you laugh a lot. ;)

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[Sirithheruwen]

Sirithheruwen, I really do picture you looking like your avvie. You're about... 5' 6". And you laugh a lot.

Unfortunately, I look nothing like my avvie. I do laugh a lot, though...overly much, some say. :rolleyes: The scary thing is, I am exactly 5'6". :eek:

[Sapphire_Flame]

The scary thing is, I am exactly 5'6".

Whoa. :eek: Creepy; I must be psychic or something. *Twilight Zone music plays*

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[Lhunardawen]

*creeps in*

I just feel like describing...

Sapphire_Flame: Blonde hair, blue eyes (like sapphire :) ), rarely seen without a book in hand.

[Morai]

Lhunardawen: Partly because of your name, partly cause of the avatar:
Sandy brown hair, straight, likes "peasant skirts" and sandals. I guess you could possibly have contacts or glasses. :)

[Gil-Galad]

strange, when ever i think of Morai, i picture him/her as a small fellow with dark features...
