How do you imagine other BDers

[the phantom]

Anyway, I think I'm getting a little to far off topic
Indeed! Are you trying to turn this highly respectable site into a football forum?

Consider yourself warned, young man!

:p

And now on topic....

Now that I know you're a die-hard K-State man I'm going to start picturing you dressed in purple (with one of those goofy, ten-foot-tall purple and white hats you guys always wear).

[The Only Real Estel]

Now that I know you're a die-hard K-State man I'm going to start picturing you dressed in purple (with one of those goofy, ten-foot-tall purple and white hats you guys always wear).

Oh no! Anything but the hat!!! :eek: :D

[Morai]

Someone you sound like- hoo boy.... no clue on this one... I'd have to say my dad
That reminds me, I do in fact sound like my mom on the phone, at least according to other people. I still don't believe it. For the most part I sound like a cross between my mum and my youngest sis, who also happens to be older than me. (If that makes any sense at all) :confused:

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I have gained a few new impressions of some Barrowdowners since I last posted on here. All three have been guessed at in past pages; but I think that my images offer a credible challenge to them.

Boromir88: A tall, happy chap with slightly buck teeth. He has long brown hair which is parted in the middle and always looks fairly neat. He wears a red cape with golden stars sewn into it. He is also a conjurer, thus he carries a magic wand. He skips around in a 16th century English jester kind of way. He has the uncanny ability to disappear from dangerous situations.

Lalwende: She barely has a physical presence; I imagine her as a wisp of purple smoke. She has a calming influence over all people, not unlike that of horse tranquilisers, thus she is always brilliant to be around.

Mithalwen: is Amelie.


And for those of you still following debates from about 10 pages ago, I have decided that The Only Real Estel does not actually exist. It's the only logical explanation for the difficulties. ;)

[THE Ka]

THE Ka I can't help imagining as Eowyn, ever since Oddwen's little crazy scene starring Eowyn as Ka and Arwen as me. Except, Ka doesn't have such tidy hair.(Quote of Lenny the wonderful)

What's with the blonde hair? I guess I am that confusing...
You're right on about the hair... Think female Robert Smith. I love backcombing :D .

Ok, here's some...

Fordim: A mischevious character of about medium height with a love of bringing up the past. Dark coloured hair possibly? Eyes are a color that can be reconized, but are possibly rare? Intellectual type.

Elennar: I've always seen you as having some colour of brown hair but, definately not mousey brown. Tall for age possibly?


I really am horrible at this. Oh well! Everthings fine with me except the whole 'blonde' thing...

~Counting facts and taking out the trash Ka~

[Morai]

Lalwende: She barely has a physical presence; I imagine her as a wisp of purple smoke. She has a calming influence over all people, not unlike that of horse tranquilisers, thus she is always brilliant to be around.

I agree for the most part, except I think her color is most likely pale blue, because I find that color more calming.

Eomer of the Rohirrim: I apologize if you have already fallen victim to my imagination and description. If not, here it goes: I see you as Eomer, except with some "slight" changes. You still have a beard and a gruff voice, but short blonde hair. Instead of a serious glare in your eyes you have a mischievious glint. Since this is a modern century, you have a mean looking motorcycle as your "noble steed" instead of a horse.

[Lalwendë]

Horse tranquilisers?! I don't know what to say... :eek: :p I am wearing purple today (and pyjamas 'cause I've eaten too much) and I have also smoked far too much so being like a wisp of purple smoke might not be far wrong. Or maybe a fog of purple smoke. I am not quite so calm though being repeatedly made to go into fits of hysterics here... ;)

[Elennar Starfire]

Yes, Ka, my hair is brown and not mousy. A shade or two darker and a bit redder than mousy.

I know you're not blonde, but I keep imagining you that way. Sorry!

[mark12_30]

I used to imagine Phantom as a ringwraith, flowing black robes and all.

Now Phantom is a ringwraith wearing a white phantom-of-the-opera half-mask that shows from inside the hood.

But when Phantom jokes, Phantom morphs into a Jawa.

[Encaitare]

A superintelligent shade of the color blue. A Hooloovoo, if you will.

Now you've made that image my image of him! Not that that's a bad thing... Indeed, 'tis rather enjoyable.

[Gil-Galad]

Now i'm starting to get the image of triplets, Phantom, Eomer and Myself, the loveable lookalikes of the downs, each with their own fangirls... like were cool or something...

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Having read the thread again, I'm pretty sure we are not lookalikes! ;)

Morai, you just described someone whom I would no doubt hate. Sorry m'dear, but you are wrong. :p

Yourself I imagine as extremely small. Maybe it's because of your short name. Possibly one of the extra mutants from X-Men. For the sake of continuing the description, you have the ability to turn into a whirlwind. :D

[Lalwendë]

A superintelligent shade of the color blue. A Hooloovoo, if you will.

If I was Blue then I would be gas flame blue, it being light and all that. ;)

Eomer has a very loud laugh, which descends into guffaws when he finds something mightily funny, something like...League of Gentlemen perhaps. He always has a comic/graphic novel stuffed in his bag, and he likes Czech lager. If he was a colour he would be Yellow.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I hope he's not offended by this, (Oh, owner of theses truly hospitable Forums) but for some unknown reason, I've always envisioned The Barrow Wight to look like a Stereotypical Australian. I have no idea why.

[Mithalwen]

Mithalwen: is Amelie.




Was that spontaneous or did you read my post saying it was my favourite film?
If so it is a spiritual rather than physical description - being part celt, part valkyrie in appearance, naturally I have always wished that I were a petite brunette.....

OK now I shall delve into the deep recesses of my imagination and see what comes out - probably in direct contradiction of facts that have slipped out during the previous pages.

I think Fordim ought to be content with my image of a younger Indiana Jones in his tweeds and specs..... my own experience of lecturers were that they were spectacularly badly dressed and or unkempt (apart from ones in France who were liable to wear cravats and look like bit part players in a Noel Coward play) . The english ones had a distressing tendancy to polyester or were aiming for a shabby chic look but just looked like tramps.....

So Fordim is basically Indy but ... hmmm 5"11 and prematurely greying at the temples. Since he denies tweed - the jacket must be corduroy or a heavy canvas... cleanshaven, short hair but not quite a buzz cut. Drives an estate car.


Lalwende is short, curvy and completely unable to keep a low profile. I think you definitely notice when she is around. Pocket battleship. Has to wear a suit for work but off duty - velvet, upmarket hippy stuff. Has a slightly quirky car - maybe a KA or a Smart. Ideally she would have a Morris Minor Convertible but needs something newer and more reliable.

Boromir - I see as a bit like a grown up Harry Potter - lanky with specs and hair that doesn't want to stay tidy. Another person who has to be "suited and booted" for work and so the off duty gear is casual but not scruffy - jeans, timberlands, fleece ..... I suspect he is good at keeping a straight face even when something is making him laugh like mad inside. On no account play poker with him. His car.... either a company car or a sportscar

Eomer - is a younger, taller version of Neil Oliver (one of the "Two Men in a Trench").

[Morai]

Morai, you just described someone whom I would no doubt hate. Sorry m'dear, but you are wrong.
Good, it's refreshing to undoubtably wrong on occasion. (Especially after some of one's descriptions were horridly on the mark.)
Yourself I imagine as extremely small. Maybe it's because of your short name. Possibly one of the extra mutants from X-Men. For the sake of continuing the description, you have the ability to turn into a whirlwind.
I have a confession to make: I'm obsessed with Superhero cartoons and such. Not X-men in particular, but knowing that I can be pictured as one makes my day. As for accuracy, some people do consider me quite small, for various unmentionable reasons. ;) Watch out though, I just might turn into a whirlwind on of these days and scatter some papers on someone's desk.
If I was Blue then I would be gas flame blue, it being light and all that.
Funny, that's the exact color I was thinking of, but now it IS a blue flame...with a hobbity face on it.

[The Barrow-Wight]

I've always envisioned The Barrow Wight to look like a Stereotypical Australian.
http://www.rsip.lsu.edu/tom/images/tomang1.jpg
The Barrow-Wight in Sterotypical Australian garb?

[Mithalwen]

Begs the question "sterotypical, Australian WHAT? "

Must have been Moomba.....

[THE Ka]

Eh... That's... Interesting... :(

I don't think BW looks that...well... you know what I mean... :rolleyes:


I keep thinking that BW lives in Massachusetts... It's wierd ,but okay for me. I usually identify people here by the first location that pops up... I have a geography obsession. Only a little one, though.

Okay, here's a chance for me to be more specific:

Okay, I already gave my shot to location but, I always feel that BW is in their early or late 30's? Okay, um... and has a strong connection with the colours green and blue? Eyes are a light colour...

Oh forget it! I'm horrible at this! I'll just stick with the whole Massachusetts thing...

~Horribly lost in a sea of confusion and washed up on the Island of Forgotten Thoughts Ka~

[elronds_daughter]

Now i'm starting to get the image of triplets, Phantom, Eomer and Myself, the loveable lookalikes of the downs, each with their own fangirls... like were cool or something...
<looks around> Fangirls? What fangirls? Gil-Galad, I do believe you're imagining things.....

Whilst I'm on the subject of Gil-Galad... I "see" him as my cousin Kevin....which is very odd. Very blonde hair, quite a show-off, about 5'6" or there about.

[Nimrodel_9]

Hmmm... I imagine Gil-Galad/Sugar with brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He`s about... 5'6"?
I can`t even imagine what BW would look like. :confused:

(300 posts! I know, it`s not much, but considering I joined in September, I'd say that`s pretty good for me. :D )
Nimmy

[Encaitare]

Whilst I'm on the subject of Gil-Galad... I "see" him as my cousin Kevin....

Great, now I'm seeing him as the sadistic Cousin Kevin from the Tommy movie, with the studded leather jacket with the swastikas on it. Gil-Galad, I do hope you're not like that! :eek:

Hmm... I think that Gil-Galad (I refuse to call you Sugar!) has a lot of video game shirts, and digs comic books and webcomics.

[Lalwendë]

Has to wear a suit for work but off duty - velvet, upmarket hippy stuff. Has a slightly quirky car - maybe a KA or a Smart. Ideally she would have a Morris Minor Convertible but needs something newer and more reliable.

Pocket Battleship? Surely I am more like Travel Scrabble? ;) Now, it's a point of homour for me that I do not like these "quirky cars" or "girls' cars" as I term them. I will only drive cars which are long and low and most definitely car-shaped, though them being safe and all that takes priority over what they look like. I did once drive a Morris minor, but I was only 8 at the time. And I soon gave up when I realised Brownies didn't do a badge in under-age driving and I found it quite difficult to buy any petrol on 25p a week pocket money ;)

I don't wear suits for work, in fact I have yesterday's clothes on complete with a bit of curry, cunningly hidden beneath a Doctor Who scarf, soon to be joined by some crumbs.

Barrow-Wight I always think of as in his 40s, with blonde hair, swept back, sometimes wears glasses, always wears jeans, sometimes these are exceedingly tatty but he thinks that's even cooler so wears them til they fall apart.

And funnily enough, when I think of THE Ka, I always think of a Ford Ka! Bizarre image, yes...and you are now welcome to think of me as a vehicle too. :eek:

[mark12_30]

Fangirls? What fangirls?

Last I saw they were all hunting Heren-Istarion.

Run, laddie!

Shows how wrong you can be!!!! I do like quirky cars ( such a girl.....) and desperately want a new Panda.... but then the other cars I like are completely impossible....

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

So Fordim is basically Indy


*swoons with joy*


but ... hmmm 5"11


Not quite.


and prematurely greying at the temples.


Not yet.


Since he denies tweed - the jacket must be corduroy or a heavy canvas...


I don't even own a jacket.


cleanshaven


Usually.


short hair but not quite a buzz cut.


No.


Drives an estate car.


I don't even own a car. What is an estate car?

[Mithalwen]

This could be my worst result since my History A-Level....... ;)

Oh dear - long hair and no jacket/car now means that I no longer think of you as Doctor Jones but as my aging hippy art lecturer cousin.... not a good swap lol.

I believe an estate car is called a Stationwagon in N America.......

[Lalwendë]

Shows how wrong you can be!!!! I do like quirky cars ( such a girl.....) and desperately want a new Panda.... but then the other cars I like are completely impossible....

I think Mithalwen drives one of those purple cars, and it's a French car. And it has pot-pourri in the ash tray, and it has a reasonable sized boot to cram her shopping bags in, and is always clean (unlike mine).

I didn't mean to be insulting by the way *slinks off guiltily* But where are you going to get a new Panda? I thought they were really difficult to breed?

Sorry, I had to stop this turning all Clarkson. ;)

Oh, I have to describe Hookbill the Goomba since I discovered he's a youthful 'Tull fan! OK -> he's got shoulder length light brown hair, he wears jeans and jumpers, and sturdy boots. He has one of those canvas army bags that are really difficult to get hold of these days, and he draws on it. It is stuffed with books and empty sandwich bags, and he always wears a personal stereo.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Mr. The Barrow-Wight... I wish I hadn't spoke... or typed… or whatever. :p

[mark12_30]

Hookbill The Goomba may have long brown hair, I don't know. But this I do know: He wears Frodo's orc-helmet.

All the time.

[Gil-Galad]

well they are pretty close... 5"6, no, higher..., swatikas? even though i am german/prussian, i'm not a nazi...bluish grey eyes... those are the eyes i always wanted!!! but i don't have em... well i guess i'm a little sadistic... not much of a show off...

[elronds_daughter]

not much of a show off... Are you sure? You come accross that way to me....;)

I believe an estate car is called a Stationwagon in N America....... I like station wagons! Kind of. My family had one once...it got 200,000 miles on it before we had to get rid of it. 'Twas a good car.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hookbill The Goomba may have long brown hair, I don't know. But this I do know: He wears Frodo's orc-helmet.

All the time.

No, Mark, not all the time... just when its not being washed.

I do actually have long brown hair, so good deductions my fine fellow!

[Gil-Galad]

well fine... maybe i'm a little bit a show off.... but i am a lady killer if i do say myself...

[Lyta_Underhill]

Great pic, BW! Maybe it should be subtitled " On Processor Allocation / Deallocation Techniques in Hypercubes " just to be MORE obscure! :D

Cheers!
Lyta

[Elennar Starfire]

Oh, I have to describe Hookbill the Goomba since I discovered he's a youthful 'Tull fan!
Here's another one--me! :D I love classic rock.

Anywho

Barrow-Wight I sometimes imagine as a nerdy teenager, sitting at his computer. Sandy brown hair, cut short and somewhat spikey, but not gelled. It's more like a "got out of bed and didn't want to bother with my hair" look. A very distinguished nose, and light blue eyes.

[THE Ka]

well fine... maybe i'm a little bit a show off.... but i am a lady killer if i do say myself...

ok, NOW you're showing off... :rolleyes:

You SLAY me Gil... :o :rolleyes:

~Still revolting...Ka~

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oh, I have to describe Hookbill the Goomba since I discovered he's a youthful 'Tull fan! OK -> he's got shoulder length light brown hair, he wears jeans and jumpers, and sturdy boots.

Scarily actuate, with the exception of...

Hair not so long... yet. No jeans. Not so sturdy boots. Not an army canvas bag, more a Ford Prefect (TV series) esque one. I do always have my personal stereo... well iPod...

*Plays a passion play on iPod* … *Dances*

Lalwendë is probably about 5 foot 9 (random height), with dark hair and a VERY retro look. I.e. a “Too old to rock and roll, too young to die” T-shirt and Jeans with a death’s head belt buckle… and a cape. And you ride a Harley Davidson everywhere.

[Mithalwen]

.

Oh Lal it clearly wasn't my car you borrowed ..... actually I drive 2 cars until they finally decide if they will let the aged parent have his licence back. My own beloved Bertie is a black Fiat Uno G reg and is reasonably tidy at the moment ... the slightly younger Punto is dark red and is a bit of a mobile Skip at the moment. Unless I have loads of stuff I normally shove shopping in the passenger footwell but that is because it means you don't shred bags on the hedge. :) . That is a myth ... pandas aren't averse to breeding ... just understandably they are not always keen on so doing when observed by Men in White coats ... :D....

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Give up your guessing, friends, for Gil-galad and Encai have pinned me (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=370037&postcount=151). ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Guffaws? No. Neil Oliver? That's a spookily close person to guess, and keep in mind that I have no idea who that person is either! ;)

Oh, I'm being so cryptic today...

Anyhow, I did not know that you loved amelie Mithalwen, it just popped into my head once upon a time.

[Lalwendë]

Lalwendë is probably about 5 foot 9 (random height), with dark hair and a VERY retro look. I.e. a “Too old to rock and roll, too young to die” T-shirt and Jeans with a death’s head belt buckle… and a cape. And you ride a Harley Davidson everywhere.

Oh wow! This makes me sound very cool indeed. Shall I pretend that this is indeed me? Well, the truth will 'out' as they say so perhaps I ought not to pretend it is true... ;)

Here's another one--me! I love classic rock.

I think Elennar is quite tall, certainly taller than me (hey, that's not difficult) with fair hair, not long, but not short, cut a bit like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill but shaggy. She wears jeans and boots and always has a pile of books which she sometimes drops and gets all flustered.

[Elennar Starfire]

always has a pile of books which she sometimes drops and gets all flustered.
That does happen to me rather often. I've started limiting myself to one at a time. But, I still drop it. I'm one of those people who can accidentally stomp on their own toes, or punch themself in the eye. I've done both in the last two weeks, and my toe still hasn't recovered. It's very annoyed with me for persisting in dancing on it.

[THE Ka]

And funnily enough, when I think of THE Ka, I always think of a Ford Ka! Bizarre image, yes...and you are now welcome to think of me as a vehicle too. (Quote by Lalwendë, the car salesperson in disguse...)

Ehk! Ford...Bad... If you want a good prespective, try a dark green BMW or a black Volvo...I love volvos...Except, they are a little trouble with the foot room for me. *Hint: For those still curious and you too Lalwendë, Ka means 'spirit', or 'double self' in ancient Egyptian... Those car corporations always want to look smart... :o

I might as well be alittle more outgoing...

Someone you sound like: Anjelica Huston, Amanda Palmer...
Someone who was born near your birthplace: Ann Reinking, Graham Swift... If I give away any more i'll be too easy...
Someone who could be said to be 'symbolic' of your county/state?: Chief Seattle...um... Louis and Clark...some more... Karl Marx...
(That last one has to do for our very socialist ideals...)

Ok... I'm done.

~Ka...~

[narfforc]

I would like to put a different slant on this one please, and tell you how I imagine myself. I am tall, dark and handsome (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I have shiny long black hair (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I am athletic and powerful (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I ooze sexiness(yeh, a bit like Aragorn), well I do now they have taken all my mirrors away in my asylum.

NOMOREIHERE.

[elronds_daughter]

narfforc, I will believe that when I see it.


Anywhee, I nearly always see THE Ka as her avatar. No matter how much she changes it. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of a gal with light brown hair and grey eyes, about 5'7".

[Oddwen]

It's creepy, but I always see people as their avatars. Nimrodel_9 is especially creepy, because apparently she's the identical twin to Dominic Monaghan. :eek:

[Morai]

It's creepy, but I always see people as their avatars. Nimrodel_9 is especially creepy, because apparently she's the identical twin to Dominic Monaghan.
That is creepy. I guess that would make me someone who was Elijah Wood's (surprisingly younger) identical twin. Oops...did I just mention that out loud? Anyway, pretend I didn't say my relative age. Nowadays I don't have a an avatar, it makes me a ringwraith looking creature in a black out. :D Or maybe someone who happens to be invisible.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Anywhee, I nearly always see THE Ka as her avatar. No matter how much she changes it. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of a gal with light brown hair and grey eyes, about 5'7".
:eek: Oh dear. Allow me to incorporate my prior imaginings of THE Ka:

THE Ka was remarkably tall and slender, with hair blacker than coal, shiny and straight, but rather short. THE Ka's eyes were also black, causing the instant second glance of any passers-by. THE Ka's skin was a well tanned gold, and THE Ka wore a rather large amount of gold jewelry.

I'm sure the image this portrays is not that bad, but wait until I get to the next part:

THE Ka tended to be surrounded by his many admirers, slaves, and typists.

Yep, Ka, I only learned about 30 seconds ago that you're female. Sorry 'bout that mate.

[Lhunardawen]

Yep, Ka, I only learned about 30 seconds ago that you're female. Sorry 'bout that mate.

Fea

Eh! I sound like some Melkor-look-alike! :( ( I think i'm going to cry...That's how bad I feel...)
I'm only going to comment on a few. One, I haven't seen a sunny or tanning day in a long, long time... Two, I hate gold and the colour. Three, I could never bring myself to have someone known as a 'slave'... It would find conflict with my morals too easily. In other words, I do all of the toils me, myself, and I and I love equality. I don't think I could survive knowing that I 'own' someone.

Typist? I'm not sure about... Admirers, I really don't know any. I'm not a social creature. My art I guess is though, but, it never leaves the confines of my bookcase or home. Though maybe through a friend, because I give most of it away.

Who told you that i'm female? I'm curious...

~Ka~

[Lalwendë]

Ehk! Ford...Bad...

Hang on, I have a Ford! Well, yes, they aren't 'cool' perhaps but I can stuff loads of rubbish in it and it's cheap(er) to get repairs done. I can be practical sometimes...

THE Ka - she has mad curly hair, which is dark. But she tries to make it straight. She doesn't care for fashion that much, but she has her own look. She wears lots of bracelets and owns a pair of Doc Martens.

Contrary to his imaginings, narfforc walks with a permanent lean due to the excesses of the Irish Sea wind whipping in across the Fylde, a lean which is accentuated when he has drunk too many pints of Pendle Witches' Brew. ;)

Hang on, I have a Ford! Well, yes, they aren't 'cool' perhaps but I can stuff loads of rubbish in it and it's cheap(er) to get repairs done. I can be practical sometimes...
Here's another Ford owner! It was the biggest car I could afford, and I need a big car (mainly to put all my junk in...) I have actually crash tested one as well! I am happy to say that it performed impeccably! After all, if it had not, no one would know of Lyta Underhill except perhaps those hanging out in the hereafter...wait, that's everyone here, isn't it? ;)

THE Ka was remarkably tall and slender, with hair blacker than coal, shiny and straight, but rather short. THE Ka's eyes were also black, causing the instant second glance of any passers-by. THE Ka's skin was a well tanned gold, and THE Ka wore a rather large amount of gold jewelry. Actually sounds like a real artistic conception of ancient Egypt to me! Perhaps it is the name! Strangely enough, I always imagine The Ka as a younger version of me, the same drive to be weird and creative and all! My memory is hazy after that...probably Ka is pulling it off better than I did!

And I somehow imagine Lalwendë as looking like a member of the Took clan, although with the quick wit and deep knowledge of Bilbo (that avatar IS apt!). I see midlength wavy blondish or reddish hair and a pixieish smile to go with her equally playful wit, and not quite 5'9", perhaps more like 5'2"!

One final note...it is good to see so many fans of Jethro Tull gathered here! I have had the pleasure of seeing them in concert twice, and the last time (early 90's), they had a whole living room set up on stage, to which they invited the prettiest girls to sit while Ian Anderson serenaded them...it was lovely! And they, of course, played lots of old favorites! (Did I mention I like to do housework to "Thick as a Brick?"

And before anyone tries to imagine what I look like, I am Carrie Fisher's lost twin (or was!).

Cheers!

Who told you that i'm female? I'm curious...
elronds_daughter did it.

Anywhee, I nearly always see THE Ka as her avatar.
See?

Actually sounds like a real artistic conception of ancient Egypt to me! Perhaps it is the name!
Lyta gets a Feanorian Bonus Point (very shiny, and guaranteed to cause extreme jealousy of those who haven't got one) for hitting the nail on the head right there.

Lyta gets a Feanorian Bonus Point (very shiny, and guaranteed to cause extreme jealousy of those who haven't got one) for hitting the nail on the head right there. Ooh, a Fëanorian Bonus Point! Thanks Fëa! I've never had one before! I wonder if I wear it on my forehead if I can see the Uttermost West? I suppose it is best not to meddle in something beyond the art I possess! It does look nice with my Princess Leia dress, though! ;)

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. I know how avatars can become the image of the poster indeed! It is impossible to see Eomer of the Rohirrim and Boromir88 as anything but Karl Urban and Sean Bean! And Fordim--I'll bet he looks just like that little dog! :p

Cheers!
Lyta

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Everyone imagines me as blonde. I am thinking about dying it for a laugh...

And Fea, I am pleased to see that you prefixed those points with 'Feanorian'. Tell me dear, whoever did you get that idea from? :D

Did you know that you have moved down to second in the bonus points hunt? It's true. Hookbill has overtaken ye.

So as to make this post slightly relevant, I imagine Lyta as the wearer of frilly pink dresses. Elennar is apparently not: she was my first guess. And we all know that the Downs must have a wearer of frilly pink dresses.

Hookbill the Goomba sits in a darkened room treasuring his bonus points. He has been there for weeks and weeks so his hair is quite long and unkempt, and his eyes are bloodshot.

I will not bother reminding the rest of you what Fea looks like; I already pinned her down on page 4 of this thread. ;) *don't hit me*

[Lyta_Underhill]

So as to make this post slightly relevant, I imagine Lyta as the wearer of frilly pink dresses.Eomer, that was such an outlandish thing to say, I must believe it is a hearty joke! I think I'd only wear pink frilly dresses if they had cargo pockets and were made by Sturm...and only if they went with the Enfield #1 Mk. 3 rifle I happen to wear as a fashion accessory! Great guess...WAY off! :D

Cheers!

I know, dear kilted friend... But I cannot for the life of me remember the thread in which the bonus points originated. And I'd forgotten that Eomer has me nicely pinned... Cartwheels in a field and a big creepy dungeon. :D But for all of you with poor memories, he dictates all of his posts to his guard, Biff, as Eomer is inconveniently straight-jacketed and shackled in the corner of his big padded room.

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

And Fordim--I'll bet he looks just like that little dog! :p


I am that little dog.

[the phantom]

Grrr... that means you're cuter than I am. Curse you, Fordim. :mad:

[THE Ka]

I am that little dog.

Then you by far are the Eros of the downs...Pugs are the cutest creatures!

[THE Ka]

Actually sounds like a real artistic conception of ancient Egypt to me! Perhaps it is the name! Strangely enough, I always imagine The Ka as a younger version of me, the same drive to be weird and creative and all! My memory is hazy after that...probably Ka is pulling it off better than I did!
(Quote by Lyta, the forgetful artisian)

I like yours and earlier descriptions...I think I'll keep them. And you are right on about memory, friends mock me as an elephant...I don't like it though. I really don't have a drive to be 'different', I think society just doesn't like quiet people who memorize the colours of crayola*...


* Besides disease and medical maladies, I used to try to remember the colours off of the sides of crayons... It's easier then to find them again when they've gone missing in the bottom of the art bin.

From Eomer of the Rohirrim: So as to make this post slightly relevant, I imagine Lyta as the wearer of frilly pink dresses. Elennar is apparently not: she was my first guess. And we all know that the Downs must have a wearer of frilly pink dresses.
Even though I've seen a number of pictures of Lush, I still suspect her of being our wearer of frilly pink dresses.


From the phantom: Grrr... that means you're cuter than I am. Curse you, Fordim. :mad: Oh, I suppose quite a few people are, Phantom... *angelic*

I can't help but imagine Squatter in birkenstocks.

Mithalwen is tall and grey-eyed like a proper elf, and not at all blonde or anemic like PJ's version.

littlemanpoet dresses like a medieval bard. :rolleyes: Must be the avatar influencing that one...

[mark12_30]

elronds_daughter did it.


...Whups. Now she has to kill you.

[narfforc]

I drink orc-brew in the form of Theakstons Old Peculiar, this aids my imagination when I find a mirror and see Aragorn staring back at me (I do have to drink quite a bit of it to get that result though). I am not very good at imagining what everyone else looks like, other than they must be better looking than me, well I am an half-orc.

[Gil-Galad]

I am that little dog.


i take it that your anti-diaper...

I don't :)

I said a taller younger version of this

[Mithalwen]

.

Mithalwen is tall and grey-eyed like a proper elf, and not at all blonde or anemic like PJ's version.

.


Tall - yes

Grey eyes - hmmm yes - ish but very light coloured greeny-grey - sounds a bit like gollum! Generally a bit short of pigment so I am pale but not anaemic looking - normally have a bit of colour....

blonde - sometimes but not that blonde..... well only when ~I was a toddler - then I got darker and rustier ending up almost Titian - now ... well I started going grey at about 17 and so now it is what ever takes my fancy on the red-gold continuum.... usually redder in the winter ..blonder in the summer.....

If I didn't work in places that tend to have a strict dress codes I would dye it pink. I did it temporarily a year ago for a "pretty in pink" charity day and I loved it (and I won a bottle of champagne). But I am not the wearer of pink frilly dresses. I do wear pink, but usually with black. I am not a frilly person. And I would look like a big pink meringue. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Mithalwen, that Neil Oliver chap certainly has a better tan than I do.

*Eomer shivers in the Scottish frost*

But it's certainly not the worst likeness of me. Though it is true I look a lot younger. And my hair is curly and a lot messier - in a stylish way of course!

Isn't that right Biff? :D

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sophia: Even though I've seen a number of pictures of Lush, I still suspect her of being our wearer of frilly pink dresses. I think Lush is a more reasonable suspect for the role of pink frilly dress wearer! At least I'm pretty sure she has worn a dress more recently than I have! (and I was just kidding about the Princess Leia dress--I don't have one. :( )It would have to have cargo pockets if I were to wear it though! I absolutely HATE carrying a purse!

Eomer: Everyone imagines me as blonde. I am thinking about dying it for a laugh...
Oddly enough, I still often see Karl Urban as dark haired, having gotten used to him as Julius Caesar in Xena: Warrior Princess long before LOTR! (Incidentally, I still call Marton Csokas "Borias" for the same reason. Same accent, too!)

Ka: * Besides disease and medical maladies, I used to try to remember the colours off of the sides of crayons... It's easier then to find them again when they've gone missing in the bottom of the art bin. At least you have an art bin! I couldn't find an art bin in here if I had ten people looking! I spent my childhood memorizing Spock's serial number, the order, title and number of all the Star Trek episodes, the fact that Walter Koenig (Chekov) was first generation Lithuanian, that Kirk and Spock were both Jewish, that Leonard Nimoy picked up the "Live Long and Prosper" hand gesture from surrepitiously observing Jewish rituals, that there's a reason Mr. Sulu was born in San Francisco...etc.etc. , but that's neither here nor there! (I just wanted to show off...)

Fordim: I am that little dog. How do you type on a keyboard without opposable thumbs? Or is your keyboard simply a couple of paw-shaped keys and a mind-reading circuit?

narfforc: I drink orc-brew in the form of Theakstons Old Peculiar, this aids my imagination when I find a mirror and see Aragorn staring back at me (I do have to drink quite a bit of it to get that result though). Interestingly enough, I had to do this with various other concoctions in order to determine I looked like Carrie Fisher! I always wake up looking like Janeane Garofalo, though... *snerk* Maybe you are a Dun-Uruk? (is that a word?)

And for my final entry and to make this post relevant at all, was is mark12_30 who put the jawa image in my head? Because now I can't see The Phantom as anything else! :p

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. Ka, I noticed you had changed your avatar again...is it an identity crisis, or were there simply "too many notes?" heh heh...I've watched "Amadeus" probably 75 times! Cheers!

[THE Ka]

narfforc, I will believe that when I see it.


Anywhee, I nearly always see THE Ka as her avatar. No matter how much she changes it. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of a gal with light brown hair and grey eyes, about 5'7".


Nice try. Pay 25 cents to begin again...

~Wither to wonder Ka~

[Mithalwen]

How do you type on a keyboard without opposable thumbs? Or is your keyboard simply a couple of paw-shaped keys and a mind-reading circuit?


Lyta

Concept keyboard with paw sized keys ? Voice -I mean bark recognition?

[Lalwendë]

And I somehow imagine Lalwendë as looking like a member of the Took clan, although with the quick wit and deep knowledge of Bilbo (that avatar IS apt!). I see midlength wavy blondish or reddish hair and a pixieish smile to go with her equally playful wit, and not quite 5'9", perhaps more like 5'2"!

Heh, that's quite like me. Though I only have blonde hair when I create my sci-fi alter-ego as I did a couple of hours ago. It is red and tangled normally. ;) But the pixies are mostly in my head. :eek:

I think society just doesn't like quiet people who memorize the colours of crayola*...

I spent my childhood memorizing Spock's serial number, the order, title and number of all the Star Trek episodes, the fact that Walter Koenig (Chekov) was first generation Lithuanian, that Kirk and Spock were both Jewish, that Leonard Nimoy picked up the "Live Long and Prosper" hand gesture from surrepitiously observing Jewish rituals, that there's a reason Mr. Sulu was born in San Francisco...etc.etc.

I used to do things like that. I memorised the entire list of British monarchs from 1066 onwards, including Scots ones, and the years they reigned. Then I went on to learn the periodic table. I also had memorised every number one single from 1962 onwards. And I used to name objects after famous artists and scientists. Then I discovered Tolkien and had an excuse to do this kind of thing. ;)

[Encaitare]

Mithalwen is an elf, and that is that. She's got silvery hair (which does not mean grey, just... silvery) and she wears pretty dresses.

Since no one can seem to describe ka properly, I will say that she is indeed a disembodied spirit.

Ah, lyta is a bit of a Star Trek fan, I see! Excellent taste.

[THE Ka]

Ah! You got me! How did you know?! ;)



I'll have to agree, Mithalwen is one of elven race. Though, her hair colour is either silver or black. Mithalwen, the name in general, doesn't conjure a blonde-headed elve.

~Ka

[elronds_daughter]

...Whups. Now she has to kill you.
<gasp!> Did I let slip that confidential information? Oh, no!

[If you couldn't tell, that was all sarcasm]

Yes, thank you Cecilia, that's enough of that. <mutters> Alter egos can be so irritating...

[Who's irritating? I'm not irritating]

Oh, yes you are. But let's not argue in front of everybody. Shut up.

[All right, fine]

[THE Ka]

So much for being a 'secret agent' there E_D... :rolleyes:

You can't really blame E_D... it's my own incredible brilliance that is the blame. There's really just no way to stump me, or to keep things from me. If it catches my interest, I will know. ;) :cool:

[mark12_30]

I don't think alter-egos are irritating, Gollum gollum. And I don't think you should be so rude to Cecelia.

Cecelia has, I think, a lovely cascade of red, curling hair that flies in the (always) tempestuous wind; and she crisscrosses the land, from the temples to the marketplaces crying out prophecies of doom just like Mandos. But nobody listens. Poor Cecelia.

Zounds-- wrong myth; that's Cassandra. :o

But in that case-- who's this Cecelia??? And why does she have long, cascading red hair??? Tut tut; no red hair allowed in Middle Earth; it's not canon. Out you go!

Such a breach of protocol... A redhead in Middle-Earth. Is nothing sacred? elronds_daughter, I'm shocked you would allow it. Shocked.

[Lyta_Underhill]

And why does she have long, cascading red hair??? Tut tut; no red hair allowed in Middle Earth; it's not canon. Out you go! I'm sure I'm missing something vitally important here, but someone tell Maedhros to go dye his hair before the rulemakers of Middle Earth find out! ;)

I used to do things like that. I memorised the entire list of British monarchs from 1066 onwards, including Scots ones, and the years they reigned. Then I went on to learn the periodic table. Ah, useful hobbies! Did you know that the first thing I had to do upon entering a graduate chemistry class was to memorize the periodic table? I had never done that before...seems you would breeze through it, Lalwendë!
I also had memorised every number one single from 1962 onwards. And I used to name objects after famous artists and scientists. Did your list happen to begin with Love Me Do? :D (Or was that 1963? I'm a bit rusty...) And the only case I can recall of having named something after a famous artist was a cat I dissected in Biology class--his name was Voltaire...heh heh...I couldn't talk to him. Cat French is worse than my French! OK, now I'm getting weird, so I'll sign off!

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. S179276SP is Spock's serial number...why do I remember this and forget Boyle's Law? :rolleyes:

[Lalwendë]

You dissected a cat? :eek: I now have this tremendous urge to go home again and protectively cuddle my feline children! :( *very disturbed*

I don't think alter-egos are irritating, Gollum gollum

Are we guessing alter-egos now? I'm done for then, as it's hard enough trying to guess people's real selves! Everyone should have at least one alter-ego though. ;)

[mark12_30]

Only if you want to, Lalwende. But this whole thread feels like describing alter-egos to me, since everybody is truly a combination of their screenname, avatar, and location. All this real-life stuff is just a disguise. A distraction. A fantasy. That's it, a fantasy.

P.S. S179276SP is Spock's serial number...why do I remember this and forget Boyle's Law?

Golly, Lyta_Underhill, you just morphed! Now I see you (or is it your alter-ego?) as my bandleader, from way-back in 1995... he frequently said, "If I could delete the second and third verses of all the sixties songs I know and then run defrag on my brain, I might have room for 'important' things."

Yep, Lyta is now a regional bakery-manager for a large chain; tall, sizeable and dark, with goofy black glasses, short tousled dark hair, a goofy sense of humor and a deep abiding loyalty to Buddy Holly. But boy, can she wail on that Gibson. There she goes, burning up the fretboard again! Go, Lyta, go!

[Mithalwen]

Mithalwen is an elf, and that is that. She's got silvery hair (which does not mean grey, just... silvery) and she wears pretty dresses.



LOL.... I missed out on the elegance and I certainly don't look androgynous but WOW :D ...... where do I get my pointy ears?

[elronds_daughter]

So much for being a 'secret agent' there, E_D.
Ka, I'm retired. As of now. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing... Nearly 100 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/member.php?u=3818), you know....;)

Oh, but alter-egos are irritating... If you only knew what she does to me... But have no fear, Cecilia does not have red hair. She merely looks like a very girly version of myself... Which in itself is a very disturbing thought. She wears pink (a color which I make it a big point to avoid) altogether too much... Yipe! :eek:

[Lyta_Underhill]

Yep, Lyta is now a regional bakery-manager for a large chain; tall, sizeable and dark, with goofy black glasses, short tousled dark hair, a goofy sense of humor and a deep abiding loyalty to Buddy Holly. But boy, can she wail on that Gibson. There she goes, burning up the fretboard again! Go, Lyta, go!
I think the only way I could burn up a fretboard is by setting it on fire...literally. ;) Actually, in my former life I was a Beatlemaniac and attempted to burn up a keyboard, mostly with Beethoven...hmmm....dark, tousled hair...that's it! I'm Beethoven! (NOT the dog!) And I have the hearing impairment to go with it! Can't play nearly as well, though...and the bakery manager thing is right out! I'd eat the profits! (I did mention I am a hobbit, right?) :p

You dissected a cat? I now have this tremendous urge to go home again and protectively cuddle my feline children! *very disturbed*
Sorry, Lalwendë, but, yes, I really dissected a cat. But it was 1984; the statute of limitations has long run out! *convinces self dubiously* And it was long dead before it got to me! Plus, I figure some of the folks who end up wielding the scalpel in Biology class will end up as veterinarians to treat the cats, dogs, horses and rats of the world! (Yes, I include rats because I have nine of them, and they are horribly cute! Don't send your cats after them, please now, Lalwendë!)


LOL.... I missed out on the elegance and I certainly don't look androgynous but WOW ...... where do I get my pointy ears? Well, you didn't naysay the dresses, Mithalwen; perhaps you are now our official Barrow Downs Wearer of the Pink Frilly Dresses! If you ever wear dresses, you're more qualified than me!

Also, lately I couldn't help but notice the short, playful and almost Zenlike posts appearing all over from mark12_30, who, I think, has taken the art of brevity and peeled it off nicely from its stigma of taciturnity. So now I see her with dancing blue eyes that never miss anything! She's the Zen master but also the Laughing Buddha...with hobbit feet. I can't forget to mention that! :D

Cheers!
Lyta (who doesn't currently wear ANY glasses unless absolutely necessary, i.e., twice a year or so. Is there a group for hard of hearing hobbits? I don't think I qualify as a nearsighted elf!)

My friend has wanted to have rats, for a really long time. The only problem is, I really don't know what to give along with a rat for their b-day... You know, houses, toys, food, pet care books, toys. My cousin had rats for awhile and I agree, they are too cute. I loved how we would put them in this tube trail that ran throughout the house and they would follow you where ever you went. Quite clever.

I've noticed it too... she's like "nice obloquy" or "nice burra" lately. :p There was a particularly witty and humorous line in my reps the other day... Perhaps she's like our Ghost of Christmas Present, all wrapped in a big red velvet robe with small words of wisdom and cheer for all. Maybe she even has a wreath of holly on her head?

[Morai]

You dissected a cat? I now have this tremendous urge to go home again and protectively cuddle my feline children! *very disturbed*

Aha! A new insight to my *favorite* Lalwendë:

You like me, have a special love for cats. In your house there reigns two felines. One, I'm not sure the name, is quite fluffy and a creme color, and loves Fancy Feast. You'll usually catch her resting majestically on her pillow...I'm mean her throne. Your other cat is quite the opposite. He's the short-hared rascal that's always moving. If one is fast enough to catch a glimpse of him, they'll see grey tabby fur and gold eyes.

Okay, now that's scary, I've just described a person's pet in detail. GASP! :eek:

[Neurion]

Hmm. For some reason, I keep thinking of the collective lot of you in Middle-Earth terms.

Will elaborate later.

[THE Ka]

You just like to keep us here, dying of curiousity? Don't you? :)


~A very Suspicious Ka~

[Lalwendë]

Your other cat is quite the opposite. He's the short-hared rascal that's always moving. If one is fast enough to catch a glimpse of him, they'll see grey tabby fur and gold eyes.

That's scarily accurate! :eek: And the other one is fluffy! You must have seen a picture of me and spotted all the cat hair and thence deduced the nature of the wee felines! If I was more Elven then I might be able to pass off the cat hair as something magical but alas it gets everywhere and I just look like an old mad scruffy Hobbit :(

Don't send your cats after them, please now, Lalwendë

Ah, they have no knowledge of rats or mice or birds, being indoor animals, but they have a keen taste for the culinary delights of spider sushi. ;)

[mark12_30]

Maybe she even has a wreath of holly on her head?

Okay! :)

[Mithalwen]

Well, you didn't naysay the dresses, Mithalwen; perhaps you are now our official Barrow Downs Wearer of the Pink Frilly Dresses! If you ever wear dresses, you're more qualified than me!



The only dresses I wear regularly are very simple and usually black. I do have a pink dress but it is raspberry pink and not a frill to be seen - just the simplest shift - not even a button or zip. Due the climate hereI have worn it about once....

[Morai]

That's scarily accurate! And the other one is fluffy! You must have seen a picture of me and spotted all the cat hair and thence deduced the nature of the wee felines!

Well...actually I haven't seen a picture of you. Basically, I figured that someone of your essence would have to have cats like that.
Ah, they have no knowledge of rats or mice or birds, being indoor animals, but they have a keen taste for the culinary delights of spider sushi.
Same here with my cat, except she is an outdoor type, but is too lazy to hunt birds or mice. (Though she has caught one in recent months.) Usually she'll settle for the cat food, cookies (preferably snickerdoodle), bugs, or on a ocasion a garter snake. (She refuses to eat em, and just leaves them as a gift.) I wonder how she would have faired against the likes of Shelob?

[THE Ka]

Ah, they have no knowledge of rats or mice or birds, being indoor animals, but they have a keen taste for the culinary delights of spider sushi. ;)

Poor children of Arachne!

I really don't have much room to speak though, my cats also consume this delicacy... But, I do have to go in favor of the spiders. They are a great help when keeping the flies at bay.

Speaknig of indoors, do your cats like sow bugs? Either that or mine are wierd...

Fea, inasmuch as Neurion's ideals regarding this seem to match my own, methinks that the answer to thy questions wouldst be a stout "No."

I am now imagining Neurion as a rather tall, dark fellow; an Elf, perhaps, who prefers to keep to himself.

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Alas and alack! My imaginings have been foiled once again!

[Neurion]

Alas and alack! My imaginings have been foiled once again!Actually, you were almost right. I am tall and like to keep to myself (and dare I even say Elf-like?). You only erred in imagining me to be dark. I'm actually fair.

[elronds_daughter]

Blast! But alas, a portion of my image is always fatally incorrect.

[Mithalwen]

Neurion is 6"3, blond and blue eyed. He has a slightly ascetic appearance.

Beleg Cuthalion: You are a rather well built type of person. Your voice is gruff around strangers, but deep and warm around those you consider friends. I agree with the tall image, but not too tall.

I must say that I have always imagined Eomer of the Rohirrim as a man of about 8ft tall with the build to match. Muscles course in his tree trunk arms and when he speaks the mountains tremble.
His hair is a golden mane which glows in the sun and his majestic beard reaches past his huge pectoral muscles.
Perhaps.

[Encaitare]

Oh, goodness, Samwise, don't encourage Eomer! He already thinks he has all these fangirls... :eek: :p

[THE Ka]

Mayhap, but in any wise I hold my own counsel till I deem the time be fit. ;) :D

Hmm... You've inspired some lyrics...(That do sum up this little fanfare of guessing. It almost seems like a victorian party of sorts. Nieve with just a bit of realization to keep everyone's mind racing...)

But I saw it coming, flying through the air.
Feathered backside humming. Miss me, hit me where?
Where it will only hurt me, not a mortal wound.
Leave me lying dirty, someone would find me soon.

If you really read it, you'll understand what we're all doing...

Ah! I just so love dark humour!

p.s. Enca, what do you mean 'thinks'?

Err... nothing meant by it at all, of course. A mere slip of the tongue, I'm sure. ;)

[Morai]

Hmmm... I imagine Morai with brown hair, brown eyes, about... 5'6", and very hyper-active.

I DO HAVE BROWN EYES!!! (They turn kinda greenish in the mornings) as for the hair, I might brown hair, that is if I stopped dying it. Which, of course most likely won't happen any time soon. Though your guess is a bit on the tall side. Hyperactive? Well...I am on occasion.

[Mithalwen]

Zounds! :eek:

why so surprised?

[Assasin]

I always think of you guys as looking like people from LOTR. Which, you probably don't have a problem with. :p

[Neithan]

Encaitare I see as Arwen. But kinda a mix between movie Arwen and my image of book Arwen. Obloguy I see as 5'8" with dark black hair and dark eyes the rest of my mental image of him is usually shrowded in shadow. Pretty much everyone else I see as their avatars (The Saucepan Man I still see as his old avatar).

[Neurion]

why so surprised?I wasn't actually (I've made mention of some aspects of my apearance in various threads). It just seemed like it was expected. :D

[Nurumaiel]

A few more images came to mind today while I was gazing out the window...

Primrose Bolger is always in my mind as a hobbit lass... but not quite so short. She has shoulder-length, curly, gingery brown hair, and laughing brown eyes. She's also a bit of a motherly type; that is to say, she's absolutely wonderful with children, and they adore her. But despite her hobbitishness, she has some elven blood in her, too. Perhaps that accounts for the fact that she isn't so short and stout as a hobbit. When she's not cooking and in general busying her hands with helping others, she's wandering in the cool grass under the trees.

Mithalwen is tall, slender, and dark-haired. Her skin is white, but not pale. 'Princess-fair skin,' as some little friends of mine call it. Her black hair falls down to her waist in waves and ripples. She carries herself with a queenly air, graceful and light on her feet. Her eyes are a deep dark brown, and while not very warm and mild, certainly not cool and aloof... more of a nice in between... as if she were a woman with dignity as well as friendliness.

Nowadays Fordim alternates between being Hearpwine and a little puppy with Indiana Jones' hat on... :eek:

Encaitare is a regal, slightly old-fashioned young woman... old-fashioned in the sense that she doesn't care what people think about the fact that she wears a corset (admittedly this impression was received from your avatar), though she's slim enough without it... she wears it merely to wear it. She clads herself in lovely evening gowns, and is in general a maid of twilight. And somewhere in the deep depths of my mind is the urging to say that she also plays a tin whistle... haunting, moonlight-y tunes.

Lyta Underhill is much akin to the Frodo that appears in her avatars. Dark shoulder-length hair, in curls; blue eyes (though I wouldn't say quite so big as young Master Wood's); hobbit breeches, shirt, waistcoat, and overcoat; a Ring about her neck and trusty old Sting at her side!

The Ka always gives me the impression of a dark girl... dark hair, dark eyes, dark clothes, and more akin to midnight than noon.

[Encaitare]

Encaitare I see as Arwen.

Hmmm... not quite. I'm pale and like to wear fancy dresses, though, so maybe a little. :p

Nurumaiel, that's pretty accurate! I'm not sure that I'm regal, but I wouldn't mind it. Heh heh, I do enjoy corsets, just for the look. Not the scarily tight kinds, but anything that can give me the right Renaissance-y sort of look. Or just a shirt with laces up the front.

Hmmm... Nuru, I think, is tallish with dark, wavy hair and greyish eyes. She may wear glasses for when she's reading. She is musically inclined, and quite possibly plays the piano.

[THE Ka]

The Ka always gives me the impression of a dark girl... dark hair, dark eyes, dark clothes, and more akin to midnight than noon.
(Post by the kind Nurumaiel)

Oh, why thank you! Don't flatter me though, I don't want to seem too special.

I do love the midnight hour. I also like to partake in night strolls. I'll admitt it's not the most safe thing to do but, it is enjoyable.


Why does 'noon' come in??? I'm curious...

Although, out of all of you, Encaitare is the closest so far.


I love this game...

~I'm off for another stroll Mr. E Leon Rauis! Ka~

[Imladris]

Nurumaiel has shifted in my mind's eye as I have learned more about her. The current image of her, is a slight maiden, with pale brown hair and slender limbs. She strikes me as a lover of twilight, and one who eagerly seeks after fairy things. I would not be surprised if she is often found surrounded by books, with kittens frolicking before a fire.

[Nuranar]

I usually think in terms of words, instead of pictures - but here's a few that my subconscious has made up its mind about. :)

I see Imladris as a quiet girl, quiet because she's shy, standing about 5'5". Her hair is dark, chocolatey brown, straight and glossy, and falls to her shoulders. Her eyes are hazel, with flecks of sparkly green. She doesn't say much with words, because she's shy, but her eyes do the talking for her - they flash and dance with the ever-varying tenor of her thoughts. She reminds me, for some reason, of this quote: "Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm." Imladris is not Barbie-doll pretty, but she's far more interesting - there's a definite elusive attractiveness, something mysteriously enticing, about her.

Nurumaiel has soft brown hair that she sometimes curls and sometimes straightens, on her whimsy. Her brown eyes are quick and expressive, although sometimes she veils them with her long dark eyelashes. Her complexion is very fair - she doesn't tan at all - but not colorless, because of the slight rose tint of her cheeks. She is tall, about 5'8", and slim and willowy - "exquisitely proportioned," as a favorite author of us both has written about another very beautiful lady.

[Lyta_Underhill]

I DO HAVE BROWN EYES!!! (They turn kinda greenish in the mornings) as for the hair, I might brown hair, that is if I stopped dying it. Which, of course most likely won't happen any time soon. Morai, how long have you dyed your hair? It couldn't be for the same reason I dye mine! ;) Now I see you as looking like Carrie Fisher! Except with pink hair, for some reason...now THAT's an oddity!

It seems everyone here sees Nurumaiel in a similar way, and I am no exception. She is an elf! I even see her wearing an elvish silvery dress with draped sleeves and delicate wrought mithril head decoration (although I don't see a green stone on it...). Definitely flowing hair, dark with flecks of red-gold, perhaps. (I won't believe Elves can't have red in their hair...*snerk*)

Ah, they have no knowledge of rats or mice or birds, being indoor animals, but they have a keen taste for the culinary delights of spider sushi.
Lalwendë, your cats catch spiders? :eek: *Hides her several jars, each holding a fat black specimen of black widow, except for the one cute little rose hair tarantula who grows a little every day, bless her!* I often find little jumping spiders around the kitchen sink and one used to live in my car until he vacated suddenly at the local bank. I like to keep them around to eat the flies and mosquitoes, which I have no love for at all! We also catch brown recluses and let them go far from the house (it's a sort of karma thing...we don't kill them, maybe they won't bite us! *knock wood*).
Lyta Underhill is much akin to the Frodo that appears in her avatars. Dark shoulder-length hair, in curls; blue eyes (though I wouldn't say quite so big as young Master Wood's); hobbit breeches, shirt, waistcoat, and overcoat; a Ring about her neck and trusty old Sting at her side! Nurumaiel, how did you know? ;) Keep the same character as an avatar long enough and people begin to see you as the embodiment of that avatar! I think I've had a Elijah as Frodo avatar for most of my time here! Wouldn't it be funny if I changed it to Dame Maggie Smith? Then how would I look in everyone's mind's eye? *chuckles* Actually your description is sometimes quite accurate, except for two particulars. 1- my hair won't hold curls unless it is tortured, and 2-think of my eyes exactly as Morai describes hers above, except mine turn bright green in direct sunlight . I think it is some supernatural thing, like in the Exorcist, or perhaps like Harry Potter... (Isn't it interesting how many facets there can be to a single described "eye color?" Many people have more than one color to their eyes and yet they are described in terms of a single color...but here we enter into complexity!) I think I'd better stop here, lest you all decide I am some total CGI creature...

But to top it all off, perhaps I'll share my image of Neurion, as a Rohirric sort (although somewhat slimmer than the average) who likes to wear a lot of armor (or perhaps hats?). Now I'm thinking of Slash from Guns-n-Roses with Axl Rose's hair! Oh well! Maybe not a top hat!

Cheers!
Lyta

[Nurumaiel]

Generally I seem to give the impression that I'm tall and dark-haired... well, I won't say it's not true, though I'm not giving away too much. ;)

But the question is... how did Lyta know about the red-gold flecks? I thought only the sun and those who see me in it knew that.

As for Nuranar's description... perhaps written in a much more flattering way than I would write for myself... but many of the basic descriptions are correct. I'm not saying which. :p

And Imladris knew about my kitten... very well, he's a cat, but he's still my kitten, no matter what he may be to everyone else.

Encaitare, agreed... tight corsets aren't exactly healthy for the poor little stomach.

The Ka
Why does 'noon' come in??? I'm curious...

In other words, you're more of a night girl than a day girl. :)

And I forgot to mention in my last post... Boromir88 looks just like Boromir.

Now Nuranar... I always think of a tall, slim girl with long golden hair. You love the woods, but when you ramble you generally go through the long grass of the open fields (and not always on foot... you have a trusty bay steed somewhere abouts). Your eyes are brown, and often dreamy and fiery as you think out stories, or perhaps reflect on one you've just read. You have a faithful little dog who sticks by your side, and often you'll relate to him the excitement of a book just read, when you have no one else to accompany in your wanderings. You can often be found sitting by the fireplace in the winter, reading; in the summer days you read and write by the open window.

[mark12_30]

Oh, goodness, Samwise, don't encourage Eomer! He already thinks he has all these fangirls... :eek: :p

Last I saw they were milling helplessly about, wailing and loudly lamenting the announcement of Heren-Istarion's engagement.

[Mithalwen]

Mithalwen is tall, slender, and dark-haired. Her skin is white, but not pale. 'Princess-fair skin,' as some little friends of mine call it. Her black hair falls down to her waist in waves and ripples. She carries herself with a queenly air, graceful and light on her feet. Her eyes are a deep dark brown, and while not very warm and mild, certainly not cool and aloof... more of a nice in between... as if she were a woman with dignity as well as friendliness.

.


I rather like the fact that despite my owning up to various aspects of my appearance people resolutely persist in imagining me in such charming if inaccurate ways :D

Yes, no, no, yes, no, no, no, yes, hmm.. lol.... no, yes, no erm not for me to say :cool:

[The Only Real Estel]

Nilpaurion Felagund: Nil has black, longish hair, prefers not to wear shoes around the house unless he has to, & is techinically 'supposed' to wear glasses--but never wears them. He is around six feet tall, loves pizza (who doesn't?), thinks all the secret easter eggs on the LotR discs are hilarious, & is part of the exclusive Top Five Reppers Club (or was, I doubt he's dropped any). In fact, it is my opinion that he as an extra button on his mouse that will randomly give out reps when he clicks it. ;)

[Maeggaladiel]

I've always seen Morai as having brown hair. Now I guess I have to change my mental image. I thought he had straight brown hair a la Beatles and brown eyes. I see him sitting in front of a computer, the fires of Oredor (yess,Oredor!) reflecting in the screen. Oddly enough, I can picture him writing from the lava-encrusted caves of Mt. St. Doom. *looks around* And... nobody else knows what I'm talking about. That's ok. We know, don't we Morai?

I've pictured Heren-Istarion as a blonde, for some reason.

[Mithalwen]

Well, due to his avatar..I have only ever imagined HI as himself... I do find it hard to separate my imaginings of people from their avatars. Although Fordim hasn't quite turned into a pug and I think SpM's current line drawing avatar is probably a bit closer to the mark than the "Desert Island Pans" version.

[Lalwendë]

Lalwendë, your cats catch spiders? *Hides her several jars, each holding a fat black specimen of black widow, except for the one cute little rose hair tarantula who grows a little every day, bless her!* I often find little jumping spiders around the kitchen sink and one used to live in my car until he vacated suddenly at the local bank. I like to keep them around to eat the flies and mosquitoes, which I have no love for at all! We also catch brown recluses and let them go far from the house (it's a sort of karma thing...we don't kill them, maybe they won't bite us! *knock wood*).

Oh yes, the felines do enjoy tormenting spiders, I think they must taste better, maybe a little more 'gamey' if they have first been terrified by the sight of huge swinging paws coming at them. There are a few non-8-legged arachnids about the house, as they seem to like knocking their legs off one by one...

I like spiders though, so if I catch them at it they do get told off. ;) Luckily you don't get black widows in this country (apart from in your bananas now and then...) but I had some nice Orb Weavers in my front garden recently.

[Morai]

Morai, how long have you dyed your hair? It couldn't be for the same reason I dye mine! Now I see you as looking like Carrie Fisher! Except with pink hair, for some reason...now THAT's an oddity

Let's see...*counts on fingers and toes* I first started when I was...I think its been about 4 years, though at first I only but blonde streaks in it. This year I tired of the look and went for a different color.... Pink hair? I do have Pink hairspray, haven't used it yet, still looking for a good excuse. May I ask who Carrie Fisher is? Strange, my eyes get browner in the sunlight (usually people can't tell for I have to wear sunglasses alot DARN SUN! MAKE IT GO AWAY!)

I've always seen Morai as having brown hair. Now I guess I have to change my mental image. I thought he had straight brown hair a la Beatles and brown eyes. I see him sitting in front of a computer, the fires of Oredor (yess,Oredor!) reflecting in the screen. Oddly enough, I can picture him writing from the lava-encrusted caves of Mt. St. Doom. *looks around* And... nobody else knows what I'm talking about. That's ok. We know, don't we Morai?

*Stares blankly at the screen in shock.* I guess I should have seen that coming the day I chose a gender neutral name. I am a girl , at least I was the last time I checked. Don't worry Maeg , I forgive you. *Looks at computer screen carefully* I think I do see flames. It's getting kinda toasty in here, guess I shouldn't have added so many plastic and brass rings to the fire. Oh well...

If it makes you guys feel any better, my Oredor uh..."Riding License" makes my hair look brown, and my skin pretty pale.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

In short, he is a pirate. Without actually stealing ships and rampaging through the high seas, but this is his appearance. He is tall, probably about 6'7. He has majestic flowing black hair, and a rugged build due to years of hard labour. He wears a huge dark blue cape and carries a large bottle of rum at most times. He has two gold teeth, carries blades to get him through his vast plethora of enemies, and has what can only be described as a truly dazzling smile. He also fixes the hair of Wargs into his own hair as a tribute to his heroes.

[Lyta_Underhill]

May I ask who Carrie Fisher is? I keep forgetting that many years have passed, and I can no longer drop the name and think everyone will recognize it. She is better known as Princess Leia from the original Star Wars trilogy. Now that should be an icon most everyone remembers! *prays she is not showing her age too much now!*

Cheers!
Lyta

[elronds_daughter]

Princess Leia from the original Star Wars trilogy. Now that should be an icon most everyone remembers! *prays she is not showing her age too much now!* If Star Wars makes you old, Lyta, then I'm ancient!! Well, sort of. Unfortunately, however, I was not alive (yet) when it first came out... But I still say it doesn't make you old!!

[THE Ka]

Okay, this has to be HI with a friend...

When I saw this HI popped up in my head. Don't ask...

[elronds_daughter]

H-I? Really, Ka? I think of Fordim, not HI.

[Neurion]

Some M-E-inspired impressions (Warning: do not take seriously):

Fordim Hedgethistle is an erudite (but rather mad) Baggins. He likes cooking, but not to the same extent as some other Hobbits. Likes gardening. Has trouble deciding whether Longbottom Leaf or Old Toby is better for his constitution.

The Ka is a rather strange pale Hobbit lass who likes to spend a lot of time indoors. Thinks it was very nasty of Mr. Bilbo to kill those poor spiders in Mirkwood. Tends to refer to the Valar as "The Gods".

Elrond's Daughter is a noble and courteous elf-maiden of the folk of Imladris. Singing is one of her special joys.

Saucepan Man is Samwise Gamgee or one of his relatives (he likes walloping people with pans).

[The Only Real Estel]

I'm thinking HI is on the right

Ah, so that's HI. He must live in the Mid-western United States, because I see him out & about pretty often :p.

[elronds_daughter]

Singing is one of her special joys. <gasp!> Zounds! How did you know?? :eek:

Oh that Carrie Fisher! *Looks at reflection in the computer screen closely* I guess I kinda do look like her. Minus the flowing robes and interesting hairdos. ;) Don't fret, I know plenty of younger people wholove the Star Wars Trilogy. Me thinks I need to watch it sometime. (For I have only seen the newer ones.)

~Dresden Dolls Cabaret Spider Ka~

[Oddwen]

Ironically, the only person I don't see as their avatar is the Barrow Wight. I see him as a rather short, broad man with wild hair and beard. Almost a Tom Bombadil without the costume...I know I'm wrong, but the image lingers.

Oh, and Nilp. I can't help but see him as the little pixellated blonde boy that was his avatar so long ago. "Chip", wasn't it?

[Gil-Galad]

BW: rather small fellow, with black, well-tucked hair, and black-roundish glasses, likes to dress in black and white

[elronds_daughter]

Oddwen: A PPP (Perfectly Proportionate Person). The name "Alice" has quite invaded my image: She is rather petite, and blonde-and-blue-eyed, and likes to chase down holes after white rabbits, all the while exclaiming, "How curious!"

[Assasin]

Neurion, don't you have blonde hair? I sometimes picture people like they're little pictures in the corner.

[Neurion]

Neurion, don't you have blonde hair?Voilá

[Assasin]

I thought so.

[Morai]

Here's another attempt:
Assasin: Because of the name, this might be a bit strange and a larger bit off. You have longish hair, I'd say dark, and you have copper/hazel eyes. Between those eyes is a straight slightly pointed nose. You love wearing long black trenchcoats and boots. ;)

~ which tove? Ka~

[Lalwendë]

Time to have another proper 'go' at this, methinks...so:

Boromir88 - he has messy brown hair and is clean shaven. He wears smart things for work, but at weekends is to be found wearing t-shirt and jeans, often crumpled because he hates ironing. He carries little 'talismans' around with him, such as things he has found and stuffed in his pocket, and has stuff hanging from the rear view mirror in his car, which is a company car, so this is his way of personalising it.

Fordim - tries to keep to the expected dress code of an academic, wearing lots of brown, for example, brown cords, beige jackets, and stone shirts, but he does have a tendency to wear pairs of 'humorous socks' which he is given for Christmas - he figures they are just socks, and who cares what they look like? His work colleagues are often intrigued as to whether he will have "those Rudolph socks on again".

Saucepan Man - I am imagining his desk. He has his own office, which is small, old fashioned and dark, but his desk is modern and has an extension table onto which he piles lots of 'filing' which never gets done, though he knows where everything is. He has pictures everywhere, and empty coffee mugs, and he has to frantically cram these into the drawers when he sees a client. He had a plant but it died.

Eomer of the Rohirrim - he lives in a student house so it is a central concept to him that he must never ever do the washing up until strictly necessary, but luckily his clothes are clean because he takes them home every fortnight to be washed. He is quite slim despite existing on a diet of crisps, beer and pizza; he gets his vitamins in the holidays with those home cooked meals. He always wears nice shoes.

[Assasin]

Morai, sorry, nope. I have blonde hair and really dark blue eyes. They look black sometimes. I do like wearing black. It's one of my favorite colors. And I LOVE my black boots. I can't say if my nose is pointed, though.
I imagine E_D having fairly long layered brown hair and blue eyes. Likes to wear green and brown?
The Ka: Short dark hair. (Not too short though.) Dark piercing eyes. And a long nose and thin lips.
Neurion: Blonde hair, green eyes. Wears polos. Glasses? A kind of square nose.

[Oddwen]

Oddwen: A PPP (Perfectly Proportionate Person). The name "Alice" has quite invaded my image: She is rather petite, and blonde-and-blue-eyed, and likes to chase down holes after white rabbits, all the while exclaiming, "How curious!"

Well...I'm blonde...:rolleyes:

It wouldn't be a surprise to me if Oddwen was Alice... Always so inventive!
Somewhat inventive, yes. But I'm less flighty than that Alice, I'd hope.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Thread needs a swift kick. ;)

Nilp is skinnier than one would think strictly necessary, kind of one of those long, tall, types. He has dark hair, rather out of control at the moment. Dark eyes and dark complected too, and rather accustomed to drawing odd looks for his habit of talking to people that aren't there.

Fea is also dark haired, of average height, and quite indoorsy looking (meaning neither tanned nor particularly sporty). I see her with blue eyes, easily amused, and chews on her lower lip while trying to decipher whatever puzzle she's after this time.

Eomer if I've learned one thing on this thread, it's that he's not blonde. Still can't visualize him dark haired, though, it's migrated to sort of a medium brown. He's also got dark eyes and not much rhythm, despite being quite interested in music. He wears (?) jeans and those casual button-down shirts with something that doesn't quite match underneath, and sometimes looks like he missed a day shaving.

HI is well groomed and suave looking. Not nearly as cuddly as the pugs that KA associates with him... more of a sophisticated look that conceals his humor, at least when you first meet him. He dresses in dark colors, tends to have a cigarette in his hand, and keeps his hair neat.

Lalwende, although obviously female, must look something like her avatar; therefore she's a relative of Bilbo's (a 110xgreat grandniece?) and has similar hobbity hair, a bit longer, and a Bilbo-like chuckle. She unfortunately has inherited his feet (my sympathies :p) and likes to dress in tweeds and shades of green.

Well then, that about does it for me tonight.

Sophia

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea is also dark haired, of average height, and quite indoorsy looking (meaning neither tanned nor particularly sporty). I see her with blue eyes, easily amused, and chews on her lower lip while trying to decipher whatever puzzle she's after this time.
:eek: Sophia, does your computer monitor act as a camera? Very few people know the lip thing. :D The only thing you missed is eye-color.

and sometimes looks like he missed a day shaving
Shaving? Oh dear... people on the Barrowdowns have... facial hair? Never! The only ones on here with any facial hair is Mister Underhill, who has a closely-groomed dark brown beard. However, since his face is nearly always hidden behind a book or newspaper (or in some instances, a cup of coffee), very few people know what he really looks like. :)

Fea

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Fairly decent descriptions by Lal and Soph. Well, apart from the nice shoes comment. :rolleyes: The 'slim-despite-bad-diet' idea is remarkably apt. I'll give you another clue to go on. Imagine Johnny Razorlight (you know that band, right?) on a difficult morning following a rough night. That's me.

Sophia might stop talking to me after this but I have to admit that she strikes me as pretty....um...how shall I put this....sultry? Sleazy? A really cool, unshakeably hip thing.

Nilpaurion Felagund strikes me as dazed and confused, and always smiling. What's more, wherever he walks, the Sun always shines. A handy guy to be friends with. And yea, really thin too. Possibly even rivalling me for thinness.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Shaving? Oh dear... people on the Barrowdowns have... facial hair? Never! lol, I suspect they must, considering the number of dwarves we have running around here. ;) And in Eomer's case I was thinking of the nice sleepy stubble-y look that some people can't seem to avoid.

Sophia might stop talking to me after this but I have to admit that she strikes me as pretty....um...how shall I put this....sultry? Sleazy? A really cool, unshakeably hip thing. I've been told this before, actually, though I'm not sure how I do it. Where did I leave my angelic face? I need it before I admit that the description doesn't bother me at all...

Fea- I actually do the lip chewing thing myself... so I tend to think of other people doing it too.

Sophe

[Neurion]

Neurion: Blonde hair, green eyes. Wears polos. Glasses? A kind of square nose.Blond hair, check. Blue eyes. Glasses, check (usually wear contacts). I'm not exactly sure what a square nose would look like. I used to wear virtually nothing but polo shirts a few years back but I can't stand them now.

[Gil-Galad]

neurion has blonde hair and blue eyes! score one for the g-man!

[elronds_daughter]

Gil, he said that a long time ago. You didn't notice? ;)

[Gil-Galad]

huh? more like last post...seesh just trying to have some fun...don't rain on my parade...

[Morai]

neurion has blonde hair and blue eyes! score one for the g-man!
GASP! Gil-galad, that's cheating!....Isn't it? :confused: ;)

I guess it's about time I took another shot at description:
Sophia the Thunder Mistress: Your name makes me think of a extremely awe-inflicting supernatural being. You have long wavy charcoal-silver hair that glimers everytime you turn your head. You have gray eyes and pale skin. Your voice is deep and resonating, and will get the attention of anyone in your vincinity. Your hands are very cold, but you don't mind one bit. Either that much is true, or you're a dwarf. ;)

[Lalwendë]

Lalwende, although obviously female, must look something like her avatar; therefore she's a relative of Bilbo's (a 110xgreat grandniece?) and has similar hobbity hair, a bit longer, and a Bilbo-like chuckle. She unfortunately has inherited his feet (my sympathies ) and likes to dress in tweeds and shades of green.

Heh, I do chuckle a lot, apart from when I get hysterics and can't stop laughing, and then it descends into something like a Muttley laugh. :eek: And I have very small feet, and have been know to deliberately buy larger shoes so they dont look too small. That is, apart from right now as they are swollen to monstrous proportions having spent the whole day trekking around York - a place where being descended from Hobbits does have its advantages.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress conjours up an idea of a scary, very tall woman with long black hair, swirling clothes, long fingernails and lots of jewellery made from garnets and bloodstones. :eek: Or is that what you hoped it might conjour up? ;)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Hmmmm... I guess I'l take a wack at this. :p

Gil-Galad I think you're about 5'6 -5'8 and have brown hair... :confused:

[Gil-Galad]

brown hair...yes....5'8......quite a ways off

[Beleg Cuthalion]

brown hair...yes....5'8......quite a ways off Hmm... 6'0 :p

[Gil-Galad]

higher...

[Beleg Cuthalion]

higher...

6'4? Get real.

[Gil-Galad]

a tad bit under 6'3... :)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

a tad bit under 6'3... :)
Ok then, how tall am I?

[Gil-Galad]

smaller then me little man... :cool:

[Beleg Cuthalion]

smaller then me little man... :cool: Ok what ever you say...... :p :rolleyes: I bet I'm bigger then you.

[Mithalwen]

Play nicely now boys....... :p

[Gil-Galad]

Ok what ever you say...... :p :rolleyes: I bet I'm bigger then you.


thats an interesting thing to bet...do you not know your own height?

Perky Ent: he must have been a real ent since hes been absent for awhile... i guess his old ent habits gotten to him, but i see him as a blonde boy of Scandinavian descent...

Not tall, hair is neither black nor long... bites her fingernails, wears little jewelry, all of it silver. :p I don't think I thought nearly hard enough about my name before I chose it! :rolleyes:

[elronds_daughter]

huh? more like last post...seesh just trying to have some fun...don't rain on my parade...
But that's what I'm good at, Gil.

[Beleg Cuthalion]

thats an interesting thing to bet...do you not know your own height?I meant mass, not height, oh Tim-the-Enchanter.

(And that doesn't mean I'm fat).

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I don't think I thought nearly hard enough about my name before I chose it!
I feel the same way, Sophia. Hence the long-time shortening of my moniker (<-thank littlemanpoet for my new love of that word) to 'Fea'. I like Fea. I'm not so crazy about my creative writing phase where the only characters I created had zilch for last names, but rather, came from somewhere. So I had a Lady Miriam Anamaeri Serafina of Ayvieron (yes, lame), when I came up with my "of the" username. Haha. However, in keeping with the actual point of this thread:

Sophia the Thunder Mistress has always, in my mind, barked far worse than she bit. Although the name would suggest a boisturous temper, she has rather less then such, and is more prone to munificent compliments than explosions. But, in keeping with her title, Sophia has is an incarnation of Athena, who's been allowed to play with her daddy's lightening bolts. :) This picture includes the strappy sandals and shield.

Fea,

I found a pic of my friend taken 10 years ago .... the likeness is terrifying even down to the hairstyle. She is really tiny and feisty so I will be less freaked if you tell me you are six foot tall and timid (unlikely) if on the other hand you are about 5" and are liable to beat up a whole van load of guys if they give you any grief ...... the I am beyond freaked.......

What about 5'3", and uh... liable to beat up a whole van load of guys if they give me any grief. Or more likely, liable to threaten them within an inch of their lives. :D My mission in life is complete... I've got Mithalwen beyond freaked. Oh yeah, and Mitha... I've now got a mental image of you permanently stuck wearing a kilt. And you're usually accompanied by Eomer of the Rohirrim (and Biff), both of which also wear kilts. :D

Well as life mission goes.. that is bizarre.... Who is biff? An the honour of sharing you imagination with a kilted Eomer (why do I keep on thinking of that "Don't step on the ducks" joke? :( ) is slightly mitigated by having to wear a kilt myself? Do I have to? I am really not entitled .....

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Biff is Eomer's keeper. :D And you've now got on a kilt and a black t-shirt with the legend "I hate my kilt". Scary, where these images come from...

Fea

[Mithalwen]

Well I do have a black t shirt with a legend which I nearly put on this evening... but it is a New Zealand rugby one with "Ruck, maul, tackle - and that's just getting a beer" :D

[Lalwendë]

Heh. Now I have an image of Mithalwen as a ladette, hanging around with the University Rugby lads having Yard of Ale competitions. Not really... ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Biff is not my keeper; he merely dictates for me. Granted, that perhaps makes it possible for him to manipulate my words but that's a whole new trinket of deceit. My keeper is another entity altogether.

But let's open this one up a bit further. How do you imagine Biff? I'll give you one clue to go on. He does not wear a kilt!

[Morai]

But let's open this one up a bit further. How do you imagine Biff? I'll give you one clue to go on. He does not wear a kilt!
Manipulates words huh? Hmm...reminds me of either a lawyer, journalist, or politician.
Lawyer: A highly refined twister of words. This version of Biff will never go without wearing slacks and dress shoes, even in 110 degree weather. He has a clean cut hair style that is parted off to one side.
Journalist: Here my image of him is a bit younger, and he's one of those guys holding a microphone and he wears the same expression on his face year-round. (In fact, rumors say it's stuck that way.) Biff always is found wearing a black fleece jacket. And he has blue eyes and blond hair.
Politician: This is the oldest of the Biffs, and perhaps the most cunning. He's capable of making the most vague promises, because the more general and confusing, the more likely that they will seem to be fufilled. This Biff of course, always wears a tuxedo like outfit when on the job.

I'm really not planning on those being accurate, it was just fun writing those. I wonder if anyone would imagine me different from my allias "Forlorn Melody?"

[Mithalwen]

Heh. Now I have an image of Mithalwen as a ladette, hanging around with the University Rugby lads having Yard of Ale competitions. Not really... ;)

Well actually really just not recently. I was a founder member of the Woman's Rugby Club at University, was very quick at boat-racing and was an accomplice in various pranks played on our male coaches :rolleyes: ....but one of the reasons I stopped in my final year was that they had developed an "out lad the lads" ethos when I was away in France which crossed my personal rubicon.. and I swear I couldn't look less like a ladette......but some of the rugby boys were very nice ... and mixed rugby is a bit of a laugh...

So you were more of a 'ladylike ladette'? I now have an image of you with broad shoulders and a warlike temperament, and a secret beermat collection... But, mixed rugby? No. No I won't go there... ;)

For some strange reason I now imagine The Phantom as Don Dorcha from Lord of the Dance.

I always picture The Phantom as looking like the Secretary of Defense from "24".... no offence...

funny...now that i think of it...i picture the Phantom as a rather dark figure, who enjoys his electronics, but also may end up playing as Ronald McDonald...

[elronds_daughter]

I'm now picturing Eomer of the Rohirrim as his avatar: Joe Cool, complete with sunglasses, attitude, and smirk.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Yeah, unfortunately I probably do look more like Joe than Eomer. :rolleyes:

[Nimrodel_9]

How do I imagine Eomer? Hmm.... He has brown hair and blue eyes, is about 5'9", and drives a blue car of some sort. Why blue? I don't know. :p :D

By the way Eomer, I love your siggy. :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Do you imagine me racing through the neighbourhood with the top down, loud irritating music blaring from the speakers?

I despise cars.

But Nim definitely has long blonde hair, looks about 13 years old, wears frilly skirts, and dances round the peach trees singing "Tra la lally la!"

:D

[ninlaith]

So Eomer..you're either like me and you're old enough to have your lisence but are deathly afraid of getting it, you're not old enough to have one and despise cars because you can't drive yet, or you're, once again like me, and hate cars because they're dangerous and like to jump out, and run into you. Take your pick.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

No, I just despise cars.

Someone posted earlier (page 4 or something) that she imagined me as a biker. That was hilarious.

[Morai]

Hmm, was that me? I can't remember...except that my guess was way off.... The Joe Cool avatar still isn't clicking in my brain yet, though I do see you with a rather large box of cookies in your hand, or you're plotting something diabolical to get some.

[Nimrodel_9]

But Nim definitely has long blonde hair, looks about 13 years old, wears frilly skirts, and dances round the peach trees singing "Tra la lally la!"blond hair- no
13- I am actually 14, but that's about right.
skirts- No! I hate skirts and dresses! :p
singing- I do like to sing.

Do you imagine me racing through the neighbourhood with the top down, loud irritating music blaring from the speakers?
Bleh! No! Whoever invented the loud booming speakers that keep you up all night with rap music needs to be poked with sticks!

You don't like cars Eomer? That's good. I don't see what the big deal is. As long as it runs. :) I am guessing you do not like bikes either. I loves my bike. :D

[Encaitare]

He meant motorcycles, I believe.

[ElementFire]

Encaitare: I imagine you like your avator.
Eomer: I think you have dark longish hair (like a bit past the ears) and blue eyes you'd be about 6'0 :p
Assasin: Long dark hair, blue eyes and a rounded nose like a ball, with full lips, you'd be about 5'9/5'10 and freckles. You like wearing LotRish clothes
hope I'm right!
~EF~

[Morai]

ElementFire : As usual, this guess is derived from your name. You happen to be a mad scientist, who usually arrives from the lab with your face charred black and your hair sticking in all directions. You are bent on inventing the cure to...something, and you insist every
time you try to explain it, that you are NOT insane-but no one believes you. Either that, or you are a small green flame (kinda like those seen in ROTK) that will explode if the temperature is to far from stable.

You know what? Every time I type up a guess, I feel like some kind of phony psycic who uses a battery-powered crystal ball, or maybe of of the suitors from Merchant of Venice. (It's like trying to guess which one of the chest holds Portia's potrait.) In no way am I implying that I am male or that I'm romantically interested in any BDer :eek:

[Elennar Starfire]

I don't like cars much either. Or buses. Or motorcycles. I like to walk.

[Nimrodel_9]

He meant motorcycles, I believe.
Ah, ofcourse, motorcycles. I'm really not into them either, but my brother is obsessed with his. :p

Eomer on a motorcycle. No, I really don't see him as being that type. LOL :D
I like to walk. Yay! Me too.

Nimmy

[Gil-Galad]

Nimmy is female(i hope) and seem is probaly much shorter then me... but enjoys the downs and a bunch of website stuff probaly...hmm...long hair i suppose as well...err no offense Nimmy?

Encaitare: I imagine you like your avator.

Well, my avatar tends to change a lot... but now I guess you imagine me as an alien, cleverly disguised as an Englishman, who wears argyle sweaters with pinstriped jackets, and has eyes that don't blink nearly enough.

Close, close.... ;) :p

[TPotSS]

Since I'm new, I pretty much imagine everyone looking like their avatar.

And you can imagine me that way, too. I'd love for everyone to think of me as Captain Picard! :)

[ElementFire]

Morai: sorry, my hair and face aren't charred *shudders* that would be most unpleasant though.
TPotSS: I hope you don't imagine me as my avatar, Will's cute, but I would prefer staying my current gender. ;)
Encaitare: Well, I don't exactly picture you as Ford, (but that would be cool if he was here!) :p I don't really picture a BDer carrying a towel everywhere on a regular basis.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

ElementFire is a feisty little package of teen trends and her own style. She's approx. 5'4" tall brunette and she has long fingers. Her hair reaches down to her shoulder blades. She seldom wears skirts but otherwise she is quite girlish. :)

[Boromir88]

Boromir88 - he has messy brown hair and is clean shaven. He wears smart things for work, but at weekends is to be found wearing t-shirt and jeans, often crumpled because he hates ironing. He carries little 'talismans' around with him, such as things he has found and stuffed in his pocket, and has stuff hanging from the rear view mirror in his car, which is a company car, so this is his way of personalising it.

Lal, I know this was a while ago, but I recently found myself revisiting this thread. I tell you, you were practically dead on until you got to the talismans and the company car, but I guess that was just a way to spice things up... :p Yes, cleanshaven, brown hair (not necessarily messy all the time), and I do have to dress up for work if that's what you refer to as smart things ;) . And oh boy...do I hate ironing :rolleyes: .

P.S. I must say, some strange conversations we'ved had on this thread as well.

I would have sworn you would have had a company car! I suppose that's a misconception from a Brit, that most people in the US get things like nice shiny cars from their company. ;) OK, I bet you drive a station wagon then, what we might call an 'estate car'. And it is messy inside, especially around the passenger foot well. I can 'see' lots of screwed up parking tickets, maybe the odd drinks carton and some company literature left there that you don't feel like moving because you;re in such a rush to get back home again. :)

How do you imagine the Inktomi Slurp Spider? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=377658#post377658)
LOL, if that wasn't the post of the week! :D
I imagine him like a very uptight bureaucrat in a business suit who is very by the book and does not show any emotion. He's got a long face and very elongated fingers and toes. He has elegant glasses of a colour that matches his suit.

*stops when realizing she's getting delirious* :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Inktomi is a smart and witty young woman, with what some have referred to as a bad sense of humor. She has either remarkably long hair, or a short, face-framing choppy one. She is a well-known member of the forum who has recently decided that there is nothing wrong with a wee bit of well-placed mischief.

Or she is really a he, and is incredibly brilliant, smart-alecky, and charming. He is also a well-known member, and spends much of his time grinning into his computer screen, desiring to let someone in on his secret, but knowing that doing so is probably not the brightest idea.

Fea

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Inktomi Slurp Spider is of course an eight-legged dashing bloke who is constantly pondering over new patterns for his webs. Ah, we could have woven webs together, he and I. But alas, I haven't seen him for a while. Maybe he's more of an indoor character and has made a lair into his namesake thread.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Inktomi Slurp Spider is a devilishly handsome young man. Tall and thin with mesmerising blue eyes, longish dark hair and inviting smile. He has a vivid imagination and an outlandish conception of life, the universe and everything.

He does get slightly embarrassed when something he posts upsets the mods. :rolleyes:

However, he also likes to point out when other people's guesses were way off.

Just a guess...

[wilwarin538]

Here is how I imagine a few of you. Now I didn't pay any attention to any of the guesses other people made, so I am definetly way off. This is what I think you guys look like. (very sorry if I am mistaken about any of your genders)

Nimmy is fairly small, she is a natural blonde and wears glassses with clear frames.

Evisse has blue eyes, blue hair and blue clothes. (hehe)

Eomer has short dark hair, bright green eyes and he is about 6'1.5".

Fea has medium brown hair, brown eyes, green clothes and she is about 5'6.28".

Enca has long dark hair, dark eyes and is probably about 5'8.25".

Boro88 has messy blonde/brown hair, bright blue eyes and is about 5'10".

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea has medium brown hair, brown eyes, green clothes and she is about 5'6.28".

Well, Wilwa... my hair *would* be medium brown, had I not such a strong liking for vibrantlly colored hair dye. My eyes *would* be brown save the green and honey colored speckles, I look awful in green (although it's my favorite color), and although the height is very precise, it is precisely 2.6 inches too tall. Nice try though.

Fea

[Boromir88]

Sometimes I will get messy hair. I like cutting it short, so I don't got to do anything with it, just wake up, shower, and blam no combing. But, when it gets about time to cut again, it is shaggy/harry potterish definately. :p

[mark12_30]

B88, you just shattered my image of you.

"His locks wre shorn about his shoulders..."

~identical twins seperated at birth

The only differences I've noticed so far is:
~Height, one of us is taller (I won't say who.)

OK. Now tell me you wear a silver choker with a single white stone in it and all is forgiven.

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

shelob , a bit like the infamous inktomi slurp spider but illuminated by the iridescent green light that emits from your computer. You also enjoy eating odd food combinations, like peanuts and chocolate milkshakes. You're very thin and waif-like. You don't walk so much as scuttle and you have a weird obsession with penguins.

Nilpaurion Felagund , you wear an 18th century noble's garb on a daily basis and have a british accent. (Despite the fact that you're not British.) You like rabbits, especially those from Mirkwood. You will only eat caviar and live in a palace.

wilwarin538 , another Mirkwoodian rabbit lover. You look like a butterfly and spend most of your time in gardens, smelling flowers. You flit around and don't take things too seriously. You love sweets and only drink purified nectar. You spend most of your time in the twilight reading Wuthering Heights and LotR.

I have no idea why...

[Boromir88]

OK. Now tell me you wear a silver choker with a single white stone in it and all is forgiven.
Umm...why of course....it just so happens my pajamas are like that... :p

mark 12:30

Short and stout, Mark can often be spotted in Trafalgar Square, at the Colisseum and at Notre Dame with a fanny pack, a ridiculously outdated Agfa Pioneer box camera, and a blob of white sun-screen spread incongruously on her nose. At first glance she may look like your average annoying American tourist, but a closer look reveals details to the contrary: a pair of expensive French glasses rest atop her neat, salon-styled hair, and in her fanny pack, where a normal tourist would carry a cheap traveler's guide, she keeps only a Bible (I couldn't resist) and a few scribbled notes from her last European adventure. She speaks with the slightest southern twang, and she has an infectious, if somewhat cacophonous, laugh.

[the phantom]

Here's how I imagine some of my fellow members...

Boromir88- I see a bearded 40-year old drinking beer in an old, worn out tan chair and dividing his attention between his computer and the football game on tv.

Estelyn- Despite the recent avatar switch, I still imagine her as the Shrek princess.

Kuruharan- He's Gimli, smack out of the movie.

Eomer- I picture him as Karl Urban with a kilt.

Mister Underhill- I try to get an image of him, but he's always wearing a trench coat and a hat with the brim pulled down over his eyes.

The Barrow-Wight- I imagine him as a Nazgul with a slight greenish glow. His presense can be terrifying, which makes it all the funnier when he pulls from beneath his cloak, not a Morgul knife, but a humorous comment.

Child of the Seventh Age and Bethberry- For some inexplicable reason, I see them as the same person- this lady that used to work with me at Kohl's department store.

That's all for now.

Ah, correct! I'd imagine you as having long blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. And you'd be about 5'2 or so.
Umm...well, not quite. No blonde hair nor blue eyes (except very seldom (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=378631&postcount=4) ). And as to the height, even though I'm not a giant, I'm a bit taller that 5'2. :cool: Nice try, though!

Thinlómien doesn't look like her avatar (hopefully...a raccoon invasion would be a scary thought). She wears boots made of reindeer skin and a skirt (assuming that she's a girl, no offense). Her short hair is dyed dark and she wears eyeliner. She has a few freckles around her nose. She's about 160cm tall.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]
