How do you imagine other BDers

[Firefoot]

Eomer: :eek: Another thoroughly inaccurate but nevertheless interesting description that I can add to my repertoire. ;)

I'd do one for you but anymore you look like either your pic from the photo page or Snoopy. :D

[The Perky Ent]

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...


Blonde boy of Scandinavian Descent?!? :eek:


ewwwww

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Eomer is Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. I just can't make that image (or voice) go away. Maybe it's because I heard that Karl Urban is high on the list of possible new Bonds?

[mormegil]

I imagined Captain of Despair much like his avatar. Dark and somber. His picture kind of shattered that image. I was going for long dark hair. Not short red hair. The pale skin is on though. I imagined you fairly short, around 5'8" or so with a fairly lean build.

[Holbytlass]

http://www.fakeurl.com/caladre/people/Holby.jpg

Thanks, Abercrombie, I was beginning to feel perhaps I was vapor in people's minds! :D You are definitely spot on with the ears, I like my ears, they're nice.

[Firefoot]

Perky Ent - He's probably about my height, though I don't see him as such, so in my head he's closer to 5'4"-5'5". He has almost-blonde brown hair that isn't really long or short and is never tidy. He's almost always grinning, and most people think he's a little weird but like him anyway. He's usually at least a little out of it. Though he gets decent grades in school, he doesn't care too much.

When I try to imagine him, he becomes somehow inextricably linked with my brother (they're the same age), not because they're alike, really, but sort of because my picture of Perky came from a now much adjusted image of my brother. I can imagine grinning at Perky and saying, "Weirdo" in the same sort of voice I use with my brother. (Perks - that's not a bad thing. My brother's fun to tease, but I like him all right. :D )

Morai is very pretty, and one of those genuinely nice people.

It sounds right to say Shelob wears a skirt. Even though she seems more of a jeans kind of person.

In fact, most people wear jeans, unless I specifically think otherwise - e.g. Eomer in a kilt, Nilp as a surfer. At least Nilp is starting to look Filipino...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Holby is about 5'7" and has a solid (though by no means big) build. She has longish light brown hair that she usually wears braided back out of her [freckled] face. She wears beat up old jeans with spotlessly white button-up shirts and loafers. She sometimes carries a sword.

[Morai]

Morai is very pretty, and one of those genuinely nice people.

Aw...*blushes*, I think prettiness in general is pretty subjective (PUN!), so in a sense I'm pretty to somebody out there. As for genuinely nice, I'm working on it.

[The Only Real Estel]

I was beginning to feel perhaps I was vapor in people's minds!

Never! I imagine you as a twenty-something lady with sandyish hair and no eyes. :p

[Lily Bombadil]

Well, *flutters lashes like a loser* now that I've seen Gil, I laugh to think that I ever pictured him looking like Michael Palin. Heh... Gotta admit, Gil is quite an attractive sight for sore eyes... Yay! The love of my life just so happens to be (VERRRY) a handsome prince! And I would've settled for nice, caring, intelligent, LotR fan! Good things come to those who wait. My new motto...I guess...

[WaynetheGoblin]

I imagein phantom in a ghost 24 hours a day.

[Holbytlass]

Before seeing the photo page:

Barrow-Wight: wizened older man, very good looking like Sean Connery (as in Hunt for Red October

Eomer of the Rohirrim: in early to mid 30's, dark hair slightly grown out, with light eyes, strong build

Mormegil: girl, early twenties with luxerious long blonde hair and wears pink dresses (because of his avatar with the monkey shooting a gun, wearing a pink dress, but it was a shirt)

TheGuyWhoBeShort and LittleManpoet: were the same person, obviously similarities to the name. They are late 30's early 40's speckled grey, dark hair and laugh lines around the eyes. Tallish, with a bit of paunch to their bellies.

What I still think

Feanor and Shelob: identical twins

Folwren: young, late teens, light brown hair and green eyes. a bit like Pigwidgeon, zooming all around

Anguirel: mid 30's with dark hair and blue eyes, and a very buff body (I'm sorry this is so embarressing to confess) like on the cover of those stupid romance novels. In all fairness to me, this came about when you were the hunter(or was it ranger) in the second WW game. You came across as tall dark handsome and mysterious.

[the guy who be short]

40s? :eek: How did I manage that? :p The "tall" part is also intriguing, to say the least.

[Holbytlass]

40s? :eek: How did I manage that? :p The "tall" part is also intriguing, to say the least.

You both are rather witty in your humor, so I imagined you wanted to be funny that way, saying you're short when you're really 6' 6". BTW, a little Holby fact: tall people fascinate the heck out of me.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Holby is short... maybe 5'4". Which I guess is more average than short, but is still short. She like gardening. She always makes dinner, and there are ALWAYS fresh vegetables.

Don't ask where I'm getting this, it just feels right.

Hee-hee, close, I'm 5'3". I do make dinner 98% of the time (with six of us, even fast food $1 menus get expensive). I like plants but don't garden, so EEHH! on the fresh vegetables, but I do try to get farmer's market stuff.

More Holby thoughts on fellow downers:

Mithalwen:I see her on the tall side, thin with dark shorter hair, quick to laugh but could abruptly turn her steely gaze at you if displeased. Definitely a person who can hold her own!

Firefoot: Her name gives way to a picture of a young gal, thin on the shorter side, but very fast in action and short auburny-red hair that's thick and wavy.

Gil-galad: what can I say? In my mind's eye, I picture him to be about 16, a gangly youth not quite finished growing. He is quite the trouble maker and charmer, he makes me laugh with his antics. Much like Fred and George Weasly from Harry Potter.

[Anguirel]

Well...er...thanks! All the more remarkable as I was an extremely unsuccessful Ranger; tried to hang the Seer and then got shredded pretty quickly. I think I preferred being a Seer...

Here is a poem I wrote describing myself to an e-friend...

Tis Sloth! O Sloth! Thou bind my hands
And manacle my leaden feet.
And so my vocab must suffice-
I’m tall and dark, a bit effete.

I think I can claim most of the adjectives, but handsome is debatable. Allow me to blush. And I don't have blue eyes, though it would be a guid Scots combination if I did...

Oh, and alas I'm 16...which puts me in a rather more depressing romance genre...

[CaptainofDespair]

I imagined Captain of Despair much like his avatar. Dark and somber. His picture kind of shattered that image. I was going for long dark hair. Not short red hair. The pale skin is on though. I imagined you fairly short, around 5'8" or so with a fairly lean build.

Well, I am dark and somber, at least in personality. But, I am sorry to break the image you had in your head. I would never have long hair, though...ever. Oh, and thanks for the short comment. At least someone thinks so. :D

I would also recommend lynching Durelin, as she sent that particular picture in. ;)

[Celuien]

Celuien is a happy-go-lucky gal, with short blonde hair and a perpetual smile. She loves the color purple, and wishes to dye her hair the same color.


Oh my, I totally missed this before.

I actually have long and fairly dark brown hair. I'm not quite adventurous enough to dye it purple (my friends can't even convince me to put in highlights). ;) I am, however, known for being the calm, collected, and permanently cheerful member of my class.

[The Perky Ent]

I imagine Estelyn and Bethberry as two mighty valar sitting atop Taniquetil, immensed in endless collections of literature with a laptop on their laps :D

Glirdan is a kid who figured how to get out of the white jackets they keep strapping him into

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Oh, and alas I'm 16...which puts me in a rather more depressing romance genre...
What?!?!? No you aren't. You're 24. Maybe 30. But a very attractive older. Like... a better looking Antonio Banderas.

[Anguirel]

If you say so, Fea! Though I'd rather be the young Al Pacino or Alain Delan...(probably spelt him wrong. Very glamorous Tancredi in Visconti's Il Gattopardo)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Just thought I'd mention that I now see Feanor of the Peredhil as that Avatar, only as a giant version at a computer! :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Large, green, shelled, and previously exposed to noxious ooze... it certainly would explain a lot, yes?

Fea pointedly ignores her tan cords, white oxford, and black sweater vest.

Yes... ninja. All shall fear me.

[Anguirel]

Formendacil-40s, grizzled beard, pedantic, (as are the best of us)

This is owed-

Holbytlass-stunning vision of ethereal beauty with fountain of light brown hair, soft, forgiving eyes, dressed in white, with a long train held by ninety-eight adoring suitors...ageless, could be in tender youth or well kept peak of beauty...causes strong, faithful married men to burst into hopeless streams of tears...faultless conduct...marvellous singing voice...

[Glirdan]

Glirdan is a kid who figured how to get out of the white jackets they keep strapping him into

And I owe it all to this admirable Ent who helped me escape. And Perky is not as everyone thinks, a teenager, but a real live Ent with a Balrog mask he uses when he wants to go into evil mode.

[Bêthberry]

Bêthberry can best be described as timeless. An ethereal air is about her. She has long golden brown hair – shampoo advert hair – and shiny bright eyes. She wears expensive coats and scarves at all times, because winter goes where she goes. She is never surrounded by other people because they are awestruck by her. Some suppose that she is a white witch, but they are incorrect. Bêthberry is not a white witch.


Shush, Eomer! You'll ruin my reputation as one of the cunning folk and make me think I can give Linda Evangelista a run for her dye jobs. ;)



I imagine Estelyn and Bethberry as two mighty valar sitting atop Taniquetil, immensed in endless collections of literature with a laptop on their laps


The two of us together are immense, Perky, although I have to admit that I do not mount Taniquetil with my laptop. :D But I would be happy to see Esty's patchwork quilts there.

[Holbytlass]

OH MY GOSH!! If your aim was to get me back for making you blush, you have succeeded! Last night at dinner, Mr. Holby did wonder why there was a grin on my face and a pep in my step. Nothing like a compliment to make ones day. I do appreciate the beautious vision you have bestowed upon me, but do you realize I can never now put my picture in the photopage.


Oh, and alas I'm 16...
What?!?!? No you aren't. You're 24. Maybe 30.
I know what you mean, hey, I could be thrown in jail for this!! :D

[Anguirel]

Methinks the lady doth protest too much!

[the guy who be short]

Oh, and alas I'm 16...Anguirel as a... peer? Dear Lord! what have you done? Now they'll expect intelligent posts from me too. ;)

Seriously, that's just... odd. Mind-Ang was 30. And since I've started, he had jet black hair and a constant sombre, solemn look, with quite pale skin and therefore visible stubble.

[The Perky Ent]

Estelyn, Bethberry, and The Saucepan Man all sit in the entmoot, and each have a 20 inch binder named 'Every ounce of Tolkien you'll need to impress people with your knowlege'. They go around in a circle reading from it in Entish. There's a computer sitting in the center, and they go around, dumbfounding the ents in the downs with their knowlege!

[Firefoot]

Whoa, I always thought Ang was closer to his mid-upper thirties as well...

Holbytlass has long black hair and can best be described as spunky. Though she might not have the most natural talent, she makes up for it with hard work. She has an excellent sense of humor and many friends.

Most everyone thinks I should have reddish hair... maybe I should dye it. ;)

[Lhunardawen]

Anguirel? 16? No way! You are at least 18 in my mind!

Call me weird, but Formendacil and Anguirel look alike for me.

[Formendacil]

Anguirel? 16? No way! You are at least 18 in my mind!

Call me weird, but Formendacil and Anguirel look alike for me.

No!!

It cannot be!

I am a unique individual. I am!!

My mental images of people tend to start out based on their avatars or usernames, then grow to encompass some strangenesses that are somehow connected to their posts, and then shift somewhat again when you learn/see what they actually look like.

To take Hookbill, for example, he originally started out, in my mind, as a thirties-ish, married, with two kids, goof- from somewhere in the southern States.

He then progressed to lose the kids (in my mental estimation), lose the wife, acquire a girlfriend, as well as about 50 lbs, and move up to New York.

Upon reception and/or distortion of the facts, Hookbill again moved, to somewhere in London, England. He lost the girlfriend, gained back about 20 lbs, and reset the clock back to 18ish...

He's still a goof, though...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oooh, much more northern than London I'm afraid; there are other places in Blighty you know. Yes, I am 18 (In a week) though. I actually live in a quaint little village called Parbold, in the sort of between Liverpool and Manchester. Lots of hills and green fields. :)

he's still a goof

I prefer the term 'eccentric'. :p

Formendacil, you have been, in my mind, a tall ish american with short ish hair and wears a lot of dark clothes.

The Saucepan Man seems to me, despite seeing his picture, to be a Yorkshire man with a beard like a rhododendron.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The Saucepan Man seems to me, despite seeing his picture, to be a Yorkshire man with a beard like a rhododendron.

I salute you !

A man who can spell rhododendron, it is truely admirable.

I pledge my loyalty to you and only you ! ! !


(I just thought it deserved a post)

[Orominuialwen]

I've always imagined Anguirel as somewhat like morm and Alatar (who have always been rather similar in my mind.) He's in his late 20's to early 30's, married, and has two or three small children. He's probably tall, and very funny.

[Lalaith]

I'd imagined him like that too until he started going around claiming to be 16.

Now I'm a bit scared of him...I imagine him to be like that child prodigy with the golden curls, you know the telly antiques expert.

[Formendacil]

Oooh, much more northern than London I'm afraid; there are other places in Blighty you know. Yes, I am 18 (In a week) though. I actually live in a quaint little village called Parbold, in the sort of between Liverpool and Manchester. Lots of hills and green fields. :)

And any Tolkien fan worth his or her eleven copies of the Lord of the Rings knows it.

However, as I mentioned, the distortion factor kicked in, and you, decided my mind, must be a Londoner.

Formendacil, you have been, in my mind, a tall ish american with short ish hair and wears a lot of dark clothes.

Ack!

An American? Not one of those! To quote a famous beer commercial:

"I am Canadian"

And very proud of it.

The rest of it isn't exactly wrong, isn't exactly right.

And an interesting thing I learned about myself today is that I tend to blur Hookbill and TOREstel in my mind. If I think of them as people, they are quite distinct, but after reading a, say, Crazy Captions post by one of them, and then scrolling down, I'm hardpressed to say which one posted.

*grumbles* Not ALL Americans are bad. Take Homeschoolers for instance. They're pretty smart and usually not too twisted in the American ways...at least...as long as they keep away from the Civil War. *cough cough*

Reading this thread, I find that I refuse to post any more descriptions. Half the people I think are girls are boys, and half the people I think are boys are girls. It's really quite awful, and has been (more than once) embarrassing when I voice those thoughts.

Getting it all horribly wrong is half the fun.

For example, if I were to find out that you're actually a 27-year old birdtamer from New Mexico, with long brown hair, green eyes, and a pet emu, I'd be very much surprised! :eek:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Sorry for insulting you Formendacil! :(

But on a lighter note, I have recently replaced my image of Gil-gallad with one of a young-ish Canadian with black hair, orange eyes (no idea why) and a giant slug as a pet. Nilp sometimes goes to feed it with other giant creatures. *Sees that everyone thinks I am crazy* :cool:

Do I sense a little anti-American in your words! I'm not too pleased by that, since I am one of them. Oh, well, I'm not terribly offended. ;)

*grumbles* Not ALL Americans are bad. Take Homeschoolers for instance. They're pretty smart and usually not too twisted in the American ways

Why thank you! I was homeschooled, although I'm not sure homeschooling through college(where I am) would work out so well. Something about accreditation(sp) would probably come up.

But here I am telling about me, when I should be guessing about others. So back to the aimless hypothesizing:


I see Rune Son of Bjarne in his upper teens to early twenties, so within two of twenty. He's in college, does not currently have a job(to concetrate on school), and owns a dog. He's actually quite popular, keeping a pretty vibrant social life, but keeps ahead in his studies. Sometimes he's a bit eccentric, but never for any substantial period of time. Oh, and he has pledged loyalty to TGWBS. :D

[Anguirel]

Do I sense a little anti-American in your words! I'm not too pleased by that, since I am one of them. Oh, well, I'm not terribly offended. ;)


It's usual with small countries near bigger countries. They've fought for so long to preserve identity, they hate it when people confuse them with "the enemy".

You should try mistaking a Scot for one of the southern sassenach...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I've noticed that I tend not to categorize 'Downers with countries of origin even when I know what said countries are. Except Saucie. But he's the exception that proves the rule.

And that's not saying that I automatically think of everyone as American... I just don't think about countries at all. Or languages. I know these things, mind you. I'm terribly jealous of Heren's knowledge of English, for example, but I rarely pay attention to it. I tend to look more to what is being said than to who is saying it.

I could never draw an accurate depiction of our community members. It would take the comfort of anonymity out of our experience here.

However inaccuracy is supreme!

Eomer of the Rohirrim is a vintage rock star, without piercings, but with long hair and scruffy two-days since shaved facial hair. He wears patched trenchcoats and eschews jeans for black pants. There are chains involved, but in a very classic sort of way. Girls flock to him, as they do to every extremely good looking lead singer who is also the master of riffage. His fantastic wit does no harm either.

The Barrow-Wight lives in a cave.

The Phantom is Fëanor. Inconceivably talented, with arrogance to match, and yet we can't help but love him and listen to everything he says. There are very few that can deny him his will.

Folwren... I can't stop thinking of cute little songbirds. In the autumn. You know, fall wrens.

Thenamir is Zeus. Without the womanizing, of course.

Feanor of the Peredhil greets people with the classic "I'm about to take a picture of one of your body parts. I haven't decided which one yet, but it's for an art class, so you shouldn't worry. Just so you know. Oh yeah, how was class?"

[Formendacil]

Not to get distracted... but my "fury" at being mistaken for an American was mainly humourous in intent.

Although, if I'm going to get mistaken for a foreigner online, I'd prefer to be taken for a Brit. I dunno why, they're just cooler. Maybe its because Tolkien was British. Furthermore, since people can only tell your country of origin by what you say about yourself, or by your writing styles, it ought to be quite clear from "flavour", "favourite", "labour", "colour", "centre", and so on and so forth, that I am not American...

And, as noted by Anguirel (my twin, sigh...), people in smaller countried DO hate being taken for their powerhouse next door neighbours. It doesn't matter if your next door neighbours are the NicestPeopleInTheWorlders, you DO try to preserve your own identity.

And I have to confess, that while everyone else here knows SaucepanMan as British, I keep picturing him as Canadian, from somewhere between Ottawa and Toronto.

Sorry about that, eh.

[the guy who be short]

I too imagined Anguirel and mormegil - the two Swordies, if I may - as very similar. The 18ness still has me in shock, and on the subject, I was terribly surprised to find out how young Formendacil is. I pictured him as... I can't remember anymore. But old.

Rune Son of Bjarne... has pledged loyalty to TGWBS.To Hookbill, I think you'll find. I couldn't spell rhododendron to save my life. Unless that's how you spell it, in which case I evidently can.

You should try mistaking a Scot for one of the southern sassenach...
You should try having fiercely patriotic Scottish teachers. It'd make you think Scotland had actually achieved something... or was still an indepedent country... or something. ;)

Arbitrary on-topicness:

Folwren is a vague, ambiguous blob until I figure out his/her gender. The blob is sort of pinky and gaseous. And glows.

Feanor, despite my knowing (I think) that she is quite tall, is now about 5'5". She wears lots of eyeshadow and wears a black, Gothic skirt. She can often be seen twirling and dancing around in it, creating what some would call music on her panpipes.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Don't worry shotie, it took me five attempts for word spell checker to tell me what it was. :D

Rhododendron, how comical!

Tall? My, my. Your guess gives me an extra inch, m'boy. And I thought we agreed to keep those panpipes on the down low. :p

TGWBS is not short. My imagination will not allow him to be. He is about 5'9", maybe taller, and... well... shh, but he's actually Orlando Bloom.

Fea, I love you! :D I have been trying for a long time to describe the way I imagine Eomer but I'm terrible with adjectives. :rolleyes: You must have read my mind or something! :eek:

***looks at everyone's reaction to her strange outburst and sinks under desk***

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'll have you know it's only in the last few years that Scotland has become slightly rubbish.

Hmm, let's see. If I'm a vintage rock star, then...

The Only Real Estel is the drummer. Come on, he holds the tune together; he makes sure that everything makes sense; when I'm almost ruining everything by seriously considering leaving wilwa the Shiriff alive on the final night of Werewolf, he's......you get the idea. :D (Plus, he's clearly rock'n'roll).

SamwiseGamgee is on bass. He's not actually around that much, but his presence is felt everywhere (especially on The Greatest Thread of All Time) and I notice immediately when he stops playing.

TGWBS is on keyboards, because every group needs their insane, shrieking keyboard player (well, maybe 'needs' isn't the right word.....anyway, he's there!) Though he will probably be the first one kicked out for substance abuse. :p

Fordim Hedgethistle is management. Obvious, really. He is power. He sets us on our way in the backstabbing world so very well, because as far as backstabbing goes, he's been there before.

Mormegil and Firefoot are the roadies. Really not sure why, but I'm sure they'd do a great job.

And Fea is the....well, you know. It begins with a 'G'. (Sorry, couldn't resist. :p )

And that's how I've imagined those mentioned for the past ten minutes.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

lol! I would be surprised, too, actually. :p If that description of me would surprise you, what do you picture me as? (Folwren) I dunno . . . a small brownish songbirds of the family Troglodytidae, having rounded wings, a slender bill, and a short, often erect tail?

A wren, you mean?

Ummm yeah. Sorry Folwren, you come across me as one of them mysterious types.

[Lhunardawen]

No!!

It cannot be!

I am a unique individual. I am!!
Now, now, don't get too excited.

You cannot blame me, really. You both showed (and continue to show) inherent knowledge in the lore of Middle Earth. You both scaled the heights of the reputation system at an admirable pace. Wouldn't that make anyone think you must look alike or something? :D

I'll try to conjure a unique picture for Anguirel, for your sake.

Anguirel (my twin, sigh...) But if you insist... :p

Now that you said it, Fea, Eomer does have the makings of a rock star. The eyeliner alone does the trick. But I still can't get the deep, mellow voice out of my head.

Wrong thread, kiddo.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Well, she's a slug. A giant slug who spits acids and replicates into millions or tiny slugs.

She once fought alongside a giant frog with a dagger against a giant snake with horns. She ended up sitting back as the frog turns the snake into roast reptile.

No, this isn't allegory. :p

[mormegil]

Nilp's avatars have had a strong impact on the way I view him. When I think of the lad I always view some anime character never an actual human...but maybe I'm not too far off :p

[Lhunardawen]

Nilp, you should know that I'm not the slug herself.

morm, all he and his avatar have in common is the long, black hair. Aside from that, he can only wish he looks like his avatar. Especially those red eyes.

:p (to Nilp)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Actually, morm, you shouldn't listen to my sluggish sister. I am actually the guy in my avvie. She should know. I burnt her to a crisp with my divine illumination technique once.

Actually, the photo he plans to post in the BD album would have him resembling the guy in his avvie. So there.

Alice, no spoilers!

[Bêthberry]

The Ghosted Princess has that air about her of supreme self-possession and accomplishment, but this is hardly unexpected given her real life affairs.

In her other life, she is the headmistress of a Swiss finishing school for girls--the composed and polished woman of a certain age who acts always with great aplomb. She is elegant, with a cordial, urbane manner which never patronises others but which subtly announces, one might even say, imposes, her authority. She is imperturbable.

When wearing skirts, her silk slips swish ever so slightly; her hair is never out of place. When she walks, one can still see the mannerisms of her training: she could walk balancing a book on her head without dropping it and descend a staircase without looking down.

An accomplished horsewoman, she still rides regularly, although music is her stronger forté. She both sings and plays the piano for her private amusement and that of her closest companions. Her parfum is Chanel #5 and her signature in life is Alléger, suprimer, ne garder que l'essentiel, tel est le secret de l'intemporel.

[Folwren]

TGWBS...very amusing, your present picture of me.

I have one picture to draw for you...but it's pretty much from his own writing.

Fordim Hedgethistle - A hobbit. But not any hobbit. A very short hobbit. (Really, you all should read his stuff in the Green Dragon, it's quite hilarious.) And he wears humongous boots, and for some reason, I see red boots. Red boots with the hat that his Avator has. (I hope that I'm thinking of the right Avator.) He's got a serious face for a hobbit...

I know it's not possibly how you look, Fordim, but your character there at the Dragon is so easily picked up on that that's how I see you now. Sorry.

Boromir88 is now Jeff, the host from Survivior, in my mind. But a less annoying Jeff, with a better sense of humour. :p

[Eonwe]

i steal all my pictures of people from their avatars. if they don't have a face or something in it, i don't really get a picture.

the guy who be short is a small guy who is always throwing people these fierce looks.

perky is hobbs, and is easygoing and inquizative. im not really sure why he's inquizative, but he is.

wayne is a guy with buff arms that are always crossed. and has a handlebar mustache and is very spastic.

the pantom is the very shadow of death, as he dines on my corpse!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Now, I don't know why, but everytime I watch the video of Wake Me Up When September Ends, the guy there who joins the army always reminds me of you. It's really . . . weird.

[The Only Real Estel]

The Only Real Estel is the drummer. Come on, he holds the tune together; he makes sure that everything makes sense; when I'm almost ruining everything by seriously considering leaving wilwa the Shiriff alive on the final night of Werewolf, he's......you get the idea. (Plus, he's clearly rock'n'roll).

This just two days removed from being told (again) that I should be a drummer because "I have the hair for it & I look like one." You are amazing, Eomer. :p Although I must admit I don't see how I "held anything together" or "made sure anything made sense"... :confused:

I think you guys need some serious help, because I'm not a bird (be it wren or falcon) and I'm certainly not a shapeless blob. Ask someone else for help, though, because I'm finding all this very amusing and am not about to give it to you myself.

[Glirdan]

I can't really picture Folwren in my mind but I can however see me and her being really good friends if we ever met. Not to metion we make such and awsome team in the ridding of Elves in LOTR Survivor. ;)

Wow!! I can see that to!! And I thought I was going crazy!!!

[Orominuialwen]

For quite a long time I thought of Formendacil as around 45 years old, slightly balding, and a bit plump around the middle. I have since found out that this is so far off track it's laughable! He seemed much too mature to me to be only 18, but then again most people on the 'Downs seem much more mature than their actual ages.

Aack! I sound like C.S. Lewis. Hmm... that's not such a bad thing.

I seem to recall you mentioning that you were going to World Youth Day- and I had a sig up for a month or so saying that I was/would be gone there. How could you not make the connection?

No chaperone, I!

To return the "compliment", I used to picture Orominuialwen with hair a good deal straiter and darker than the picture she uses in her avatar- and which she claims is her real picture... Probably because of the Elvish name. Also probably related to that, I had her mentally pegged at about ten years older.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

The Ghosted Princess... Don't believe a word of it! This young lady has a highly fertile imagination and, aside from the piano playing, has invented the whole description. Anyone who has met me personally, as she has, knows that my curls, like wizards, are precisely where they mean to be - which does not necessarily coincide with the place I'd like to have them!

But on the whole, it's a wonderful princess description, and if you think Fiona when you think of me, that's a nice daytime (= virtual) persona. Another by night (= RL)...

[the guy who be short]

This just two days removed from being told (again) that I should be a drummer because "I have the hair for it & I look like one."Wow... you actually do as well!

the guy who be short is a small guy who is always throwing people these fierce looks.Dear Eonwe, that small guy is none but Gandy himself!

TGWBS is on keyboards, because every group needs their insane, shrieking keyboard player (well, maybe 'needs' isn't the right word.....anyway, he's there!) Though he will probably be the first one kicked out for substance abuse.:D what makes you say that? And I'd be glad to be the shrieker.

Tall? My, my. Your guess gives me an extra inch, m'boy. And I thought we agreed to keep those panpipes on the down low. My. That must be Enca who's 5'9" then. Very similar, you two. And you'll figure those pipes out in no time. :cool:

TGWBS is not short. My imagination will not allow him to be. He is about 5'9", maybe taller, and... well... shh, but he's actually Orlando Bloom.I don't understand the recurrence of the "TGWBS is tall" theme. I can only conclude that the rest of you are all abusing substances, as opposed to me...
Orlando Bloom though? I certainly wouldn't mind that. :smokin:

Eomer, now that he has formed a band, is the typical thin-as-a-stick rock star. He believes in the attractive qualities of eyeliner, encouraging other members to undergo the same make-up processes as him. He wields a pink guitar (a manly pink, that is) and shrieks a lot when excited in the middle of a song.

Glirdan is constantly eating something very bright and sugary.

The Saucepan Man's home is void of spam. Many pots and pans hang from the walls.

Kath lives in a pub. The house on her left is also a pub. The house on her right... yeah. The house opposite hers? You get the idea. As a result, Kath is constantly in a state of relaxed happiness, but extremely forgetful.

Not surprisingly, Perky is not an Ent, but a gloriously illuminated dust mote. He catches rides on sunbeams and wafts right into our sight, bringing his endlessly cheerful persistance with him and dancing 'round quizzes and clues with playful ease. When a sunbeam disappears by being soaked into an object, Perky simply hops onto another beam, warming to another idea or game, and tickling our noses with another delightful round of impetuousness.

I think I realized you weren't in your 40's shortly before I saw that sig, but previous to that it was a very deeply rooted mental image.

It actually wasn't me who went to World Youth Day (I'm still a bit too young), but a friend of the family. I would've loved to go, but apart from age, my parents wouldn't be too pleased about me going to a country where I don't speak the language.

I picked my name before I realized that I really am a Hobbit, in both personality and appearence, so I guess it's a little misleading. And that really is me (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a368/Silcenedril/JMM%20etc/Rosey.jpg) in my avatar. (Sorry for my extreme shininess in the picture I linked to!)

Strange! I guess I STILL have you mentally pegged at a couple years too old.

And while on the subject of ages, I have yet only found one 'Downer who strikes me as old enough to be retired: Thenamir. I rather suspect that the isn't that old, but that's hold old he strikes me.

Other than that, until I learn specifics, people tend to get dumped into one of three categories: young (13-16), adult (17-26ish), and 'middle-aged' (Late 20s and up). Not that I can always peg their ages right...

Nilp is his avatar, and bounces or skips rather than walking. (shadow guy) Yep! :D Although, I neither bounce nor skip, I glide along ethereally--if I'm not in the mood to use my teleportation skill.

Now, more torturous thoughts that my mind has conjured:

Feanor of the Peredhil is a guy. :p He's the son of an Elf and a Dwarf--so technically, the Peredhil part is still true. Because of his heritage he makes great and wonderful stuff out of wood and odd bits of paper.

(Had to do that. She's seriously affecting my Silm reading. Everytime I come across Fëanor his image turns into . . . well . . . Fea of the Downs!)

the guy who be short is the host of his own do-it-yourself show. He shows people how to make shelves for short people. I have no idea where this came from.

This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/Elenrod/6004-1.jpg) is Formendacil. I dunno why, though.

[Formendacil]

You literally have me laughing out loud! A rare achievement, for which I offer my hearty congratulations, Milord Felagund! I would definitely have repped that, but your high quality in your overall posting has made that a bit of a problem...

[Morai]

the guy who be short: I'm terribly sorry if you have already fallen victim to my imagination. That said:

the guy who be short is a one-man-band/ stand up comedy act. He often walks on stage in black slacks and dressy coat with tails. Wearing ties is beneath him, and he often leaves the top of his snazzy dress shirt unbuttoned. Height isn't really an issue when he's on stage. Blue eyes sparkle and wink as he feeds punch line after punch line to the audience. Hair...I think blonde, at the moment anyways.

[the guy who be short]

Ha! Haha!

TGWBS commences to roll about upon the floor in laughter

Far too scared of the stage to ever approach it, though I do enjoy sharing laughter in a small group of friends. My clothing consists of the first thing I can find in the wardrobe and is thus nowhere near as cool as what you described.
I do often leave the top button of my shirt (snazzy dress shirt?) unbuttoned in summer. Unfortunately, 6th Form requires that I do wear a tie every weekday, so you're wrong on that account.
Blue eyes? Very attractive, but not moi. Brown and bespectacled.
Blond hair... black. :p And I mean dark dark brown by that, the colour that appears black and resides on every Indian's head (unless they're bald).

[Sleepy Ranger]

I'd like to know what the new members think I look like :)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Is Anakin Skywalker mixed with Aragorn, after having gone half-Sith and being awake all night.

PS: I'm still new compared to the likes of some of them... others.

[Sleepy Ranger]

after having gone half-Sith and being awake all night.

I'm on the Gray side... Neither Sith nor Jedi but as cool as both ;)

Sleepy Ranger: Is a cartoon character, who apears out of nowhere , smacks a "post it" on your forehead and before you can react he disapears in some mysteries smoke.

His appearance resembels his avartar, exept hi is a cartoon character ! ! !

and this is the picture i see whenever i read one of his post's.
(what does that say about me ?)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Okay, I can't get over this. I am not older than Regin Hardhammer. I am not older than Regin. I had it in my head for years that he was very much like John Rhys-Davies, and that image will not go away, no matter how often I accidentally stumble across his birthday being some three months after mine.

Wait, how old did you think I was? In real life people often think I'm older than I really am, but I get the feeling that I might come across as younger than I really am online.

Wow!! I can see that to!! And I thought I was going crazy!!!


I changed my mind with that (not the Folwren part). I see Boro as Ryan Seacrest. Seriously. No idea why, but I do.

Hmmmm. I picture Esty as Fiona, as I'm sure other people do to.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Arry is a rather mischievious, cutesy young hobbit child, liable to playing tricks, and causing mischief, whether intentional or not, and who seems, strangely, to embody the word 'scramble'. *shrugs* In short, he is his character Hanson from the Green Dragon, with a few adjustments...

[Bêthberry]

I cannot help but see Thenamir as a bear, possibly because of the way he regularly takes extended absences from the Downs but does return, almost like going into and coming out of hibernation. He's not the grizzly type of course, but a large, rambling black or brown bear whose fur ripples in waves when he laughs or when he takes umbrage against some infraction to "Thenamir's Chat Rules" in the chat room. He's very territorial but really plays well with the cubs, though. He doesn't have a harsh growl, but more a low honk that is playful rather than fearful. He has a fondness for berries, too.

piosenniel, on the other hand, is one of those vigorous academic types. She combines her love of fitness and cartography in her job--she's a geographer of the West Coast forests who treks around them constantly mapping changes. In her younger years she was a track and field champion: a graceful and fluid pole vaulter whose tosses (of the shot put!) showed rhythm and precision. She excelled at hurdles, where her successful technique and great running speed earned her many medals. Now, she runs regularly in 10K challenges for charities.

[Morai]

TGWBS commences to roll about upon the floor in laughter
Hey at least I got one thing right. Be thankful I was way off. Many consider it quite frightening when I'm right.

I wonder if my new avatar (my first in a few years) will taint any perceptions of my imagined self?

*laughs* Don't worry, you're not the first to be wrong about my gender. But yeah, I'm a girl...at least last time I checked. ;) Doesn't kinda hurt though when you whack yourself in the head with a lightsaber?

[Formendacil]

Wait, how old did you think I was? In real life people often think I'm older than I really am, but I get the feeling that I might come across as younger than I really am online.

Erm... anywhere's from 18-24, although I would have picked 20 if it had come to guessing.

Clearly that's not the case...

[Orominuialwen]

You are off, but quite a bit closer than I was thinking you were 45!

[The Only Real Estel]

Since Nilp & Formendacil deviated to Lego characters briefly this must be the phantom.

[Morai]

I think it's about time I returned the favor:
Sleepy Ranger : Despite what he lets on, Sleepy isn't Aragorn incarnate or a Star Wars character. He's what his name describes: a tired employee for the Forrest Service. Why is he sleepy? Because there's no Starbucks in the parks of course! Instead of a walking stick he has a light saber, and occasionally he'll sneak his cloak on over his sandy brown hair that's a bit too long. Not that anyone can usually tell, it's always in a ponytail under his Park Ranger hat.

[The Only Real Estel]

Back to LEGOs, sorry but I’m addicted. :D

I've found Holby, though it could certainly pass as Cailin lately...

Also, I ‘found’ a ‘moonlight’ version of the phantom.

Originally posted by Sleepy Ranger:

Well, Sleepy, as I am pretty (okay, very) new here, I'll satisfy your request.

I see you as looking like a smurf. Small and blue, very cartoonish but in a real way--ever seen anyone who just looks like he belongs in a cartoon? Right, well that's you, but you're blue. You wear a hood, of course, and it kind of hides the blue-ness of your skin. You wear t-shirts that say things like "Everything I'll ever need to know in life, I learned from Yoda" and get mad when people ask if it should be 'learned from Yoda I did'. You're obviously always half-asleep; because of this you carry around a large coffee mug. Full of coffee, of course, and drink it so that you don't fall asleep completely. You carry around a big shiny sword-looking thing, but not a standard sword, it's got a funny shape. And you drive an old beat-up pick-up truck.

:p

[Cailín]

I have been here long enough now to start picturing vague, greyish blobs when I'm reading through the posts. Some are not quite so vague and greyish anymore (that is mostly people who were in a werewolf game with me ;) ) so let's see what I can make of you.

Kath is somewhere in her early twenties. She's not very tall and she will generally look exasperated with you. She has brownish, shoulder length hair and piercing eyes and is actually quite pretty.

Holbytlass looks exactly like Rosie Cotton, though possibly paler and with darker hair, from the LotR movies. She's also someone in her twenties (either 21 or 29) and she smiles all the time.

the guy who be short is well... short. He is about 22 and he probably sings crazy rap songs and wiggles his eyebrows a lot.

Wilwarin is very pretty, dark-haired and blue-winged. She's sixteen, like all typical fairy-like kids tend to be.

The Saucepan Man is a thirty-something and has a constantly bemused expression. There are several pots and pans on his head and even more dangling from his belt. This makes him jingle as he walks.

the phantom looks like the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera. The masked version, that is.

Azaelia of Willowbottom is about 15 and has flowers in her auburn-colored hair. Or maybe she's just one huge, bright pink flower, I'm not quite sure.

Mormegil is even shorter than the guy who be short. He's a thirty-something, blonde, blue-eyed and good-natured looking. He wears glasses. Like, 24/7. (Blame it on the avatar).

Folwren... well if I just could remember whether he is a she or he or something else entirely, I might have a clearer image.

Eomer of the Rohirrim looks big, hairy and evil. In an attractive way, perhaps.

That will do for now. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Cailìn is absolutely beautiful. Though she is short (only about 5'1"), she has waist length black hair that falls in soft waves and shimmers perfectly in the light. Her golden tan seems to radiate warmth. She never wears jeans... the fabric is simply too heavy for her personality. She tends to be clad in cottens, but mostly in sleek silks and can be often seen composing nature poetry beneath a willow on the edge of a rippling brook.

[the guy who be short]

Eyebrow wiggling? Hmm. Moderate. :D

Well, that doesn't sound like me, really. But you just very accurately described my imaginary childhood friend, which makes me think you, Fea, are sort of psychic in a confused way. Do you happen to look like Miss Cleo?

Rap?! No. No rap. No rap. Whatever gave you that idea, blast it from your head now.

Duly blasted. But if it is not rap, what is it? ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Cailín is one of those girls who causes everyone else to fall over with giddiness; she's that beautiful. She has flowing dark hair and wears gowns of green and gold, radiant and resplendent. Very Elvish, actually. She can apparently change her height: at times she appears small and delicate; on other occasions she appears tall and capable of administering a mighty wrath upon all who challenge her. She is a majestic singer, artist, and poet. Her eyes are brilliantly keen, and they can see through everything, and can reveal every secret of the mind.

She is merciless in using this skill to find out information.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

malkatoj is male. Yes, malka, I know you're a she. But I really just can't get the image out of my head. You actually look a lot like Disney's Aladdin. :rolleyes:

[wilwarin538]

Wilwarin is very pretty, dark-haired and blue-winged. She's sixteen, like all typical fairy-like kids tend to be.


Wow, that is so sweet! :D You are actually very right about the dark hair, and so close with the age. Now for you.

I think Cailin is about 15 or 16, so my age. She has long light brown hair and wears a lot of grey and silver clothes. You most definetely have grey eyes. ;) I have a feeling you can get very hyper, and yet be smart and anilitical(sp?) at other times.

How'd I do? :p

[Kath]

QUOTE]Kath is somewhere in her early twenties. She's not very tall and she will generally look exasperated with you. She has brownish, shoulder length hair and piercing eyes and is actually quite pretty.[/QUOTE]
Wow Cailin thanks! I like that! You're out on most of it but still. Do I really sound like I'm continually exasperated?

Cailin - hmm, I would say mid teens so around 15, 16. Dark hair but blue eyes. Not overly tall. Walks gracefully, in fact is graceful in general and wears things that float around her. A happy bunny but prone to bursts of deep thinking.

Lhuna - About 40 with withering white/grey hair. Very short, at only 4 foot 3. Nah I'm kidding ;) Dark hair, not sure on height though.

Thinlomien - I can only see as Winnie the Pooh! I knew that would happen!

EDIT:
Kath lives in a pub. The house on her left is also a pub. The house on her right... yeah. The house opposite hers? You get the idea. As a result, Kath is constantly in a state of relaxed happiness, but extremely forgetful.
Hadn't seen this :D I quite agree. With 40 odd pubs around it could well be!

Badly, really. For one, my eyes were still blue last time I checked. But I like the me you made up, I think. Oh, and you're closest with the hair :)

Wow Cailin thanks! I like that! You're out on most of it but still. Do I really sound like I'm continually exasperated?

Maybe not continually... ;)

Closest so far, though I don't know where all the dark hair is coming from. Maybe I should get it dyed. And I guess the tall really depends on your point of view (that is to say, whether you are taller or shorter than me).

[Folwren]

Said by Cailin:
Folwren... well if I just could remember whether he is a she or he or something else entirely, I might have a clearer image.

Ah. That seems to be most people's stumbling block. It's getting quie vexing, you know.

Alcarillo: He's about eighteen...maybe twenty at the oldest. Dark hair, dark eyes, and he's shy. When he smiles, which he does often, it's a very soft, 'quiet' smile, if you know what I mean. He's rather handsome, and all the girls wish he would flirt with them, but he doesn't...either because he's too shy or because he's too wise for that. He doesn't talk overly much, but he usually makes sense when he does. When someone does him wrong (on accident) (like killing him in WW) he's very forgiving. He never loses patience, either, which is nice.

How's that?

-- Folwren

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

"Jack" is permanently a guy, due to that very name. Though at first I imagined a small cheeping female bird (in the best sense), now Jack is about 5'11", with floppy blonde hair, and green t-shirts that say things like "just say no to drugs" and "imagine whirled peas".

Not quite eighteen, a bit younger.

Quite the opposite! Blonde hair, greenish-bluish eyes.

Well, yes, I am quite introverted.

True, true.
When someone does him wrong (on accident) (like killing him in WW) he's very forgiving. He never loses patience, either, which is nice.
I think I'm patient and forgiving. I don't get angered easily.

[Thenamir]

And while on the subject of ages, I have yet only found one 'Downer who strikes me as old enough to be retired: Thenamir. I rather suspect that the isn't that old, but that's hold old he strikes me.

I deliberately put forward the image on the chat of being an old geezer, since I am considerably older than most of the regulars, but in reality I just turned 43 a couple of weeks ago, September 23rd (Frodo's Hangover Day, the day after the Birthday Party). :D

[Alcarillo]

Folwren – She's somewhere in her mid-teens. Her hair is dark brown and wavy, and is past her shoulders and frames her face just so. Her beauty has attracted many suitors (i.e., young hobbledehoys begging for a prom date), but she has spurned them all with a wild laugh and gallops off on a horse into a blood-red sunset. She plays a musical instrument, probably a flute or violin or clarinet. She is ruthless and determined when she feels that things aren't fair, and she has an enthusiastic way of rallying others around herself.

Ah, it's fair. Hair isn't dark brown...actually a very light brown, and it's a wee more than wavy...and to my waist, not a bit past a shoulders.

'fraid no one's ever begged me for anything, save my little brother in attempt to get me to go out and build a fort with him. I do love to ride...

I play a violin very poorly. *winces at the thought* Very poorly.

Jack – A blond, British ship captain in his 40s.

Haha! So, have ye read/watched it, then? Isn't he rather cool?

-- Folwren

[Glirdan]

Alcarillo will always be the mayor of Swankytown in my eyes. Because of that, I picture him like a short stubby 42ish aged person with a bowler hat and has an air of authority.

Folwren is my fellow LOTR conspirator and always will be. She's got to be around 15-17 at least. I think her deepest ambition is to fly, without being in a plane. :rolleyes:

Boro is still Ryan Seacrest.

B-W is a ghostly figure that always seems to pop up in my dreams but never says anything so I can't place his voice.

Well since Enca changed her avvie, I'll be picturing her as Elizabeth off of Pirates of the Carribean now.

[Firefoot]

I just had a funny little picture in my mind of Anguirel as Governor Swan from Pirates of the Caribbean. :D Not entirely sure where that came from - it just came to me with his use of the word "Hurrah."

[Holbytlass]

Nilpaurion Felagund reminds me of an older Haku from Spirited Away. Is he good? Is he bad? Is he a dragon? One is never quite sure what frame of mind Nilp is in!

Formendacil is the deadest of all us dead people here because his name reminds me of formaldehyde.

[Encaitare]

I can see Nilp as Haku, or a whole bunch of other anime characters. I watched Naruto last night just to see what it was all about, and Nilp could be Kakashi, the guy with the mask over his face. Like he'd be able to pwn you and make it look easy. :D

Speaking of anime characters, I was thinking of LMP's rant (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=407175&postcount=299) in Werewolf 8 where he totally lost it. (He did turn out to be innocent, interestingly enough...) And I suddenly imagined him as an adolescent anime character throwing a hissy fit, with huge eyes and sharp teeth, so aptly demonstrated here by Mr. Edward Elric:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/ElvenPirate41/ed.jpg

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Kath is somewhere in her early twenties. She's not very tall and she will generally look exasperated with you. She has brownish, shoulder length hair and piercing eyes and is actually quite pretty. (Cailín) Wow Cailin thanks! I like that! You're out on most of it but still. Do I really sound like I'm continually exasperated? (Kath) Do you want the truth? ;)

Well, no. I agree with the 'quite pretty' part, though.

Nilpaurion Felagund reminds me of an older Haku from Spirited Away. Is he good? Is he bad? Is he a dragon? One is never quite sure what frame of mind Nilp is in! (Holby) Ach! I will own that I haven't watched Spirited Away yet. :( Though this Haku guy sounds quite cool.

There is a Haku (http://www.naruto-kun.com/naruto+characters/haku.html) characer in Naruto, and he was the first that came to my mind when I read that. He, like myself, can look very feminine at times (http://www.naruto-kun.com/gallery/screenshots/Episode%20012/thumbnails/thumb_(naruto-kun.com)-Eps_012-040.jpg)--just ask Lhuny--so the image sorta worked.

I can see Nilp as Haku, or a whole bunch of other anime characters. I watched Naruto last night just to see what it was all about, and Nilp could be Kakashi, the guy with the mask over his face. Like he'd be able to pwn you and make it look easy. :D (Enca) COFLGOHAHA! Kakashi, eh? Not quite, I'm actually the guy who made his life a living nightmare--literally, using an evil Genjutsu. But that'll be like 80 episodes away.

Vy ve vay, good for you for waching Naruto!

[Thinlómien]

Thinlomien - I can only see as Winnie the Pooh! I knew that would happen! I'm quite pleased with that image - Winnie the Pooh is just so lovely :)
Kath looks like the woman in her avatar.

[Gil-Galad]

thats's Skully from The X-Files

[Kath]

Mmhmm it is and so thanks Thinlomien for I now feel very complimented!

By the way if you misspell your name - Thinlomein - I get an image of some kind of Chinese food :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I see Kath as wearing austere business suits, funked up with colorful silk scarves. Black specs with her hair pulled back into a tight chignon. And then we get going in PMs and I remember that she's not a 30-something year old government official and picture her in knee length denim skirts and cotton t-shirts with skater shoes, because they are so darned comfy.

[Thinlómien]

By the way if you misspell your name - Thinlomein - I get an image of some kind of Chinese food :p
Find any similarities? :
Thinlomien: Sounds vaguely like some sort of Chinese food. I like to eat Chinese food, and I'm almost certain that wolves wouldn't be adverse to consuming Chicken Chow Mein, which tells us that Thinlo is innocent, and likely to be eaten with a chopstick. -Fea, WWJ :rolleyes:

[Kath]

I picture her in knee length denim skirts and cotton t-shirts with skater shoes, because they are so darned comfy.
Switch skirts for jeans and you've got me there Fea :D

Sorry Thinlomien I didn't realise it had been said before!

[Sleepy Ranger]

I picture Rune as a pair of socks for some reason. :)

[Mithalwen]

Oh this is ging to be so much easier if we can identify other downers as items of clothing / accessories.... ;)

So far the palantir tells me...

Fea is a very stylish pair of sunglasses
Lalwende is a long, slightly ethnic style velvet dress - or a Doctor Who Scarf
Davem - pipe is too obvious - but I think it has to be an aran sweaterwhich is hardly better..
Fordim is too inextricably linked with Indiana Jones... hat and whip!!
Eomer if not the kilt....a velvet smoking jacket
Boromir88 is a lumberjack shirt and he's ok
Holbytlass is a Birkin bag
Aman is a claret coloured opera coat
Bethberry is a extremely high tech and elegant computer phone

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I picture Rune as a pair of socks for some reason. :)

I got mentioned. One of my Barrow-Downs objectives have been reached. I would how ever like to hear some more oppinions on this subject! (Please)

Then I might send in a photo. (to the Photo page)

P.S. This way you picture me would have nothing to do with my lovely Photo at msn, now would it Sleepy ? :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea is a very stylish pair of sunglasses
Alas for my mysteriously broken shades... I can't say how stylish they might be, but I can certainly vouch that when I'm wearing dark wash jeans, a leather jacket, and standing in a dark corner and I've got them on, I look sketchy as all heck. :D I'm really dead depressed at the rate of sunglasses I go through... my dog destroyed my favorites this spring, I left my new shades at my best friend's and they got lost, and then my newest pair, purchased the day before I left for Uni, are officially and quite inexplicably broken.

Mith... is a kilt. I can't help it, Mith. I just can't. I'm sure you'll understand.

[Sleepy Ranger]

P.S. This way you picture me would have nothing to do with my lovely Photo at msn, now would it Sleepy ? :D

Uh... Of course before that I pictured you as that Mendeleev guy.

[Mithalwen]

Mith... is a kilt. I can't help it, Mith. I just can't. I'm sure you'll understand.

Apart from being completely not scottish ..that seems fitting.... awkward and scratchy.... :rolleyes:

[Holbytlass]

Holbytlass is a Birkin bag

http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/68088549208080_0.jpg
I had to look that one up, and my gosh, THAT'S ME!! LOL!! Short and wide!! ROFL!! (I'm sorry, I know short computer lingo is frowned upon, but I can't get over how funny that is!) I can't breathe...I can't breathe!!

[Mithalwen]

I was thinking more of stylish, practical and much desired! :P People almost kill for these things Holby..

[Lalaith]

...not to mention extremely expensive...with a long waiting list...

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Mithalwen is a blank space of empty screen where an avvie should be. Her shadowy presence is made all the more tantalising by the spectres of what might be, and wished-for but not-achieved opportunity.

[Lalwendë]

Fea is a very stylish pair of sunglasses
Lalwende is a long, slightly ethnic style velvet dress - or a Doctor Who Scarf
Davem - pipe is too obvious - but I think it has to be an aran sweaterwhich is hardly better..
Fordim is too inextricably linked with Indiana Jones... hat and whip!!
Eomer if not the kilt....a velvet smoking jacket
Boromir88 is a lumberjack shirt and he's ok
Holbytlass is a Birkin bag
Aman is a claret coloured opera coat
Bethberry is a extremely high tech and elegant computer phone

This an amusing new twist to the thread! :D

Mithalwen is a linen jacket
Bethberry is a Breeders T-shirt
SpM is one of those long, tweedy coats (a Crombie?)and a trilby
Fordim is a pair of desert boots
Eomer is a spangly bomber jacket
Hookbill is a multi-coloured poncho
Fea is one of those tartan skirts with lots of belts hanging off it
Enca is a little knitted hat
davem is an overcoat with string in the pockets

[mormegil]

Davem is a monocle
Hookbill is a goomba from Super Mario Bros (not clothing or accessory but oh well)
Anguriel is a dark cloak hooded cloak without a face
Fordhim is a bowler cap
Nilp is a pair of leg-warmers
Boromir is a pair of Nike High top basketball shoes

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hookbill is a multi-coloured poncho

Thats true. :D

[Anguirel]

Mithalwen is a catnip mouse.
Fea is a lavender collar with a silver bell.
Bethberry is an interactive twirling goldfish toy.
Lalaith is a saucer of milk.
Saucie is an enormous tower of books and newspapers ripe to be knocked over...
And Lush is the fridge wherein the Tuna Imperial lies.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And Anguirel is quite obviously a cat. :cool:

[mormegil]

Here is what I view Feanor as

http://www.dpent.ca/Images/23003.jpg

The little weasel ball that never stops or tires.

[malkatoj]

Mormegil, despite my best efforts, is my history teacher.

My apologies.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Ever since playing WWJ I have thought a lot of how the other players lookes like and witch personalities they have. Here is my first go! (More to come)

Feanor of the Peredhil: When thinking if Fea two pictures comes to mind.

1. A sea-turtle! When launched from a catapult makes the UFO reportings in the area rise dramatically
2. Girl who is goth, not in that “I want to look like a corps” way, but anyway hope you know what I mean. Black is the predominant colour in witch she dresses (if there is sleeves in her outfit, they are too long), her hair is long and black, she is 5.4 tall and about 19 years.

Fea is a “free” thinker, who do not accept the moral rules of society because she is told 'This is just how it is' or 'This is what God says!'. Rather fea tend to listen to what you have to say, and make up her own mind.(maybe this goes beeond the thread but it is an important part of how I imagine fea)

P.S. Feanor of the Peredhil aka Morbid Princess (Her goth aka)

[mormegil]

Okay I have some more. Mine are becoming objects rather than clothing but it's what best describes them in my mind

Rune son of Bjarne is a Cairn
Estelyn is simple yet elegant silk gown
Gil-Galad is The Tick (http://www.monkeyouttanowhere.com/thoughts/graphics/tick1.gif)
Formendacil is Newton's Cradle (http://www.ffandf.com/cart/images/items/nc002.jpg)

[Formendacil]

Formendacil is Newton's Cradle (http://www.ffandf.com/cart/images/items/nc002.jpg)

I suppose maybe I am...

What IS that thing?

[Encaitare]

What IS that thing?

You know, you pick up one of the balls to the side and let it drop so it hits the others, and the force goes through so the ball on the opposite side swings out and it just keeps going... until they all start swinging and then you have to start over. :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Kath, I don't think you sound continually exasperated (I guess I should know. ;) ). Maybe it's just how you post at Werewolves. :p

Enedwaith,

Nilp is a pair of leg-warmers (morm) Haha! Why do you say that?

[Thinlómien]

Here is what I view Feanor as

http://www.dpent.ca/Images/23003.jpg

The little weasel ball that never stops or tires.
That's great! I think it describes her very well.

Sorry Thinlomien I didn't realise it had been said before! No offense taken! :) I just wanted to point out that it is a common image.

[Mithalwen]

Mithalwen is a catnip mouse.


If this means you want to chew my head off leaving tattered and bedraggled remains, the queue for this has shortened slightly of late :cool: . However you may still want to pre-book a timeslot.

[Anguirel]

Actually, the relationship between catnip mouse and cat is tragic. Destroyed by love. Like Eol and Aredhel...

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Are the Avengers

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I've just been handed this rather interesting gem of a website. If you're having difficulty in imagining a fellow Forum member, then try to first fit them into one of the categories on thsi website.

i don't think you can say what you yourself are. I think you have to be told by someone else. Have fun, children!

Look here!!! (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/index.htm)

[Lalwendë]

Hilde - I couldn't see that link :( Was it a pic of the Avengers as in the classic 60's TV show? In that case I shall have to gender swap because I have to have the bowler hat of course, being the bearacrat (beuracrat? beauraucrat?.....aaargh)!

Actually, the relationship between catnip mouse and cat is tragic. Destroyed by love. Like Eol and Aredhel...

This is truly profound! My cats have an old, tatty ratty, he has been 'loved' so much by them that his insides are hanging out and he only has one eye and one ear. :(

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Yes Lalwendë, it was the 60's Avengers, and such a darn good black and white studio photo too! Ah well.

It seems a bit more tragic when a dog falls for the cat's catnip mouse. We also have one with its insides peeking out.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Was it a pic of the Avengers as in the classic 60's TV show? In that case I shall have to gender swap because I have to have the bowler hat of course...
Does that mean we can then imagine davem in a black leather catsuit and high-heeled boots? :eek: :D

[Lalaith]

Was it Honor or Diana, though?

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Does that mean we can then imagine davem in a black leather catsuit and high-heeled boots? :eek: :D

You may if you like, Esty, but I would prefer not to summon up that image! :)
Actually, neither catsuit nor the bowler was present in this particular photo.

It was Diana, Lalaith. She is the only Mrs. Peel to me.

[Lalaith]

Ah, well that would explain why she wasn't wearing a catsuit...it was Cathy Gale ( Ms Blackman) who wore those, Mrs Peel (Ms Rigg) had much more demure satorial style.
NB Ahem. I hasten to add, before anyone starts imagining me as a zimmer frame, that my Avengers knowledge comes from viewing repeats rather than original transmissions...

[Holbytlass]

Wow, Hookbill, I looked through all those 'warriors' and a few people came to mind, but I'm too afraid to say their names!!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Wow, Hookbill, I looked through all those 'warriors' and a few people came to mind, but I'm too afraid to say their names!!

I know, but sometimes falts have to be said before they can be amended. :p

No offence, but Gil-Gallad and the phantom are almost this guy (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ego.htm). :P And The Lord high Wight can be no one but this. (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/admin.htm)

[Holbytlass]

Okay then, on a lighter side, Feanor and The Phantom are these (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/duelists.htm). That also applies to the balrog wings/no wings debaters and the author or reader responsibility debaters as well!

[Lalaith]

One of the things I enjoy about the Barrowdowns is the high quality of this class (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/royals.htm).
Which clearly makes me one of these (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/sycophant.htm) ?

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

You know, when looking at the site posted by Hookbill, this reminded me of burrahobbit (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/grunter.htm).

[the phantom]

...and the phantom are almost this guy (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ego.htm)
Yes, yes- that does remind me of me. :p

SPM is definitely nanny (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/nanny.htm).

I can't stand these (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/blissninny.htm) for some reason.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

How many Lurkers (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/lurker.htm) are on this Forum? Those spiders are very suspicious! :confused:

Sometimes, Gil reminds me of Evil Clown (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/evilclown.htm) and Yuk Yuk (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/yukyuk.htm). :p

And I think The Perky Ent is becoming an Ent (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ent.htm)!

[Mithalwen]

Well HI must be an archivist... but (if he would excuse the Russian reference), I see him more as a Faberge egg.

The Phantom is a fedora

Encaitare is a Chopin prelude

Piosenniel is a vade-mecum bound in Florentine paper

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

She is as statet before Winnie the Pooh aka Peter Plys.

Actually it is hard to tell Winnie from Thinlómien! They are both loveable and stuffed with fluff! They endlessly craves a snackerel of whatever little something is at hand.
At last: Friends before all, even honey!

So it can be hard to tell them apart, exept that Thinlómien is younger ! (I guess)

[mormegil]

Agreed Phantom the SpM is the Nanny

H-I is The Eagle Scout (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/eaglescout.htm)

I am probablyFerrous Cranus (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ferouscranus.htm)

Others may be forthcoming.

[Oddwen]

H-I would certainly be the Necromancer (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/necromancer.htm) - though in a good way, of course, as his necromancy more often than not breathes true life back into good threads.

I see Esty as more of the Nanny (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/Nanny.htm). SpM is more of this (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/kungfumaster.htm).

We've all been one of these (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/coffeeklatch.htm) at one time, haven't we?

Gil is slightly loopy (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/loopy.htm)!

And am I wrong, or can this be Nilp (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/jekyllhyde.htm)?

There's gotta be a Godfather (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/godfather.htm) here, I just can't think who...

And I, I am a cross between a Lurker (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/lurker.htm) and a Pithy Phrase. (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/pithyphrase.htm)

And finally - Balrog Wings (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/grenade.htm)!

Thankfully, I can see more Werewolf Warriors than regular forum warriors in those pictures.

[Encaitare]

Was it a pic of the Avengers as in the classic 60's TV show? In that case I shall have to gender swap because I have to have the bowler hat of course, being the bearacrat (beuracrat? beauraucrat?.....aaargh)!

You two even look like them... so that's how I shall forever imagine you. And Mrs. Peel was the best of Steed's partners. Just had to get that out there. :p

Bureaucrat. ;)

[Boromir88]

hmmm...I think obloquy fits well with this (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/evilclown.htm) one. :)

I'm sorry, I can't resist, reading the big cat (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/bigcat.htm), and the word "laconically," and the rest just reminds me of myself. So, I guess I'm telling everyone to watch out? :p

And davem is our forum eagle scout (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/eaglescout.htm).

[Formendacil]

I'm sorry, I can't resist, reading the big cat (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/bigcat.htm), and the word "laconically," and the rest just reminds me of myself. So, I guess I'm telling everyone to watch out? :p

Sorry, Boromir, but setting as the word "laconic", I think that Big Cate suits The Phantom a lot better than it does you. Or anyone else...

But with a dash of Ego, of course...

[Mithalwen]

Actually, the relationship between catnip mouse and cat is tragic. Destroyed by love. Like Eol and Aredhel...

I am still not sure if this is sweet or scary....

Anguirel, Mormegil and Gurthang are of course all swords.

However, Anguirel is a Toledo rapier, Mormegil is a broadsword and Gurthang (sorry the avatar makes me think of you as a practical joker) is one of those stage swords you can pretend to stab people with... or maybe a cutlass.

Wilwarin is antique lace

Lalaith (of course) is a skylark

[Lalaith]

And I now (for equally obvious reasons) envisage Mith as resembling the late and much lamented Kirsty McColl...

[Mithalwen]

And I now (for equally obvious reasons) envisage Mith as resembling the late and much lamented Kirsty McColl...

I am so glad you didn't say Ray Davies ;)

[Lalaith]

Now would I do that... :rolleyes:

[Mithalwen]

well I am even more glad I didn't plump for a "Fairy tale of New York" quote and open up the possibility of Shane McGowan..... :p

[Bêthberry]

Well, I guess I have to throw water on the flame warriors, but to be honest, I just cannot see any of those really fitting well any of our Downers.

I can see some ways in which SpM (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/eaglescout.htm) has some of those characteristics, but that doesn't begin to cover all his traits. There's a great deal of davem (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ferouscranus.htm) in this one, too, but, again, it doesn't quite come to terms with some of his other traits (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/tirelessrebutter.htm), which of course doesn't begin to include his other tendancy. (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/duelists.htm) See what I mean?

Then there's The Barrow Wight's (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/kungfumaster.htm) various styles as his image as one to be feared (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/admin.htm) but also just a little bit of this too. (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/centurion.htm)

I see myself slightly mixed between this one (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/netiquettenazi.htm) . this one (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/grammarian.htm) , this one (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/toxicgranny.htm) and this one (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/coffeeklatch.htm) . I know, hard to believe, eh?

There's a bit of truth (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/rebelleader.htm) about Eomer here, but not enough of his sense of humour. And there is a slight resemblance here (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/picador.htm) of Boro88 but hardly enough to do justice to his profound rhetorical skills. (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/filibuster.htm)

See what I mean? I think it does a grave disservice to account us Downers as anything ressembling such stereotypes. We are beyond caricature, I say!

(ran out of time--so many more I could have discussed as being inapplicable without in any way assuming allegorical reference!)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Although he doesn’t follow the description given on the website, I like to imagine this is what The Barrow Wight looks like;

http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/Assets/evilclown.jpg

[Mithalwen]

I now have the disturbing image of Bethberry as the ideal woman for a certain type of English ex-public school boy.... :p

I did look at those but the only people I identified would be hugely unflattered so I will keep them to myself...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Not naming any names, but there used to be a large proportion of these (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/grammarian.htm) before I changed my signature. It did get quite annoying. :(

Also, I wonder if there are any of these (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/agent.htm) around... Hmm.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Thanks a lot, Hookbill. A clown? Now you've gone and made me terrified of The Barrow-Wight. :eek:

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

OK, here's me (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/blowhard.htm).

Or maybe this (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/perv.htm) is.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Eek. Fordie, ye've officially gotten me somewhat disturbed. :p

[The Saucepan Man]

Eek. Fordie, ye've officially gotten me somewhat disturbed.Hmm, I believe that this reaction suggests another aspect of Fea's on-line persona.

Ah yes, here (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/innocenceabused.htm) it is.

:p :D

[Lalwendë]

OK, here's me.

Or maybe this is.

I am most sincerely glad that I did not try to look at this website too deeply while I was at work! :eek:

[Bergil]

Due to my recent encounter with hookbill the goomba, he now wears a sweater reading "class of 1984"

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Due to my recent encounter with hookbill the goomba, he now wears a sweater reading "class of 1984"

Strange, I wasn't even alive then. :p

I hope your not trying to turn into this (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/duelists.htm), Bergil. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Hmm, I believe that this reaction suggests another aspect of Fea's on-line persona.

Ah yes, here (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/innocenceabused.htm) it is.
:D

[Bergil]

I was referring to the book 1984. if you want, I can make it "class of 1941" (downgrading you from "brainwashed" to "patriotic")

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Orwell's 1984 was the first thing that came into my mind. I just thought, however, that you'd just come up with a random year. Although 1941 means little to me. Unless your referring to the War, witch would mean that it would be in the middle. WWII, as all should know was 1939-1945.

Oh! Unless you think I am American, they plunged into the war in 1941 ish I seem to recall from my history lessons. I am not American. I am British! And proud of it! Jolly good! Tally ho! Pip, Pip! And Bernards your uncle!

Anyway, enough of this nonsense.
Lets get back on topic.

[Morai]

I think it's time someone finally added this to their "guess list:"

The Barrow-Wight
Species: Opii Biggus Shnozolus "The Common Hefty-nosed Penguin"
Habits most of Antartica, eastern Argentina, though he occasionally hops a cab to slip up to Iowa for a wild weekend
Diet includes herring, halibut, young sardines, small assorted South Atlantic schooling fish, and Pop Tarts
Nesting season is in early June. Mating behaivor is mystery since he is a discreet embarrassed animal.
When he is not feeding or caring for his young, he enjoys skinny-dipping, long hot baths, reminising about the 1960s, foot massages, listening to Moody Blues records until late at night with the lights out.
Fairly liberal minded, he would be driving an used Volvo if he could reach the pedals.
I won't mention his pecuilar tastes in television.
Conclusion: The Hefty Nosed Penguin is gentle, easily influenced, yet not overly sensitive. He has a pleasant dispositon, is generally optimistic, and a welcome member of the Animal Kindom, even though he eats crackers in bed.


I hope you find this more amusing than insulting Mr. Wight.

Wilwarin has always reminded me of Loie Fuller... On stage, mystifying us with her acts of silk spinning and whirling about above a glass plate and coloured lights...

[obloquy]

hmmm...I think obloquy fits well with this (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/evilclown.htm) one. :)

I'm sorry, I can't resist, reading the big cat (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/bigcat.htm), and the word "laconically," and the rest just reminds me of myself. So, I guess I'm telling everyone to watch out? :p

And davem is our forum eagle scout (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/eaglescout.htm).

That description doesn't match me at all.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Littlemanpoet, I like to imagine as a Dwarf poet who stalks Dearon and hurls bricks at him saying "Show me up will you?"
I like putting ridiculous back-stories to things. :D

Take Gandalf_the_white for example, I at first imagined him as a small child, but soon I began to think he was a wizard that wore a white pointy hat. My idea was that he was the original Gandalf the white and when old Olorin took his name he got all annoyed and started following him around and hurling bricks at him. :D

[JennyHallu]

Farael is a tallish, slimmish, normalish looking person with brown eyes and kind of curly dark hair. He looks vaguely exotic and probably "sensitive" to his surrounding Canadians (think French artist...only...Hispanic). His accent cannot but be very strange: Yo quiero Taco Bell, eh?

;) :eek: :D

[Valier]

JennyHallu you have a pleasant voice... Short like 5'5, longish brown hair...hhmmm eyes hazel or green? Maybe even some freckles...:p I don't know could be way off, but it was fun to try and guess.:D

[JennyHallu]

Not as far off as you might think. Eye color's off, and height (though not by much)...

Should I find a picture I'm willing to let you all see and post it to Tigerlily's photo page?

My only problem is that none of the pictures I like show my glasses, and I wear them all the time now.

[Diamond18]

My only problem is that none of the pictures I like show my glasses, and I wear them all the time now.

You actually want to use a picture with glasses? Weird. :p

Incidentally, I have a very strong image of you, Jenny... I'm not sure why because I don't for everyone. Except these (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=332782&postcount=43) people of course.

Anyway: you are of medium height, very slim, with shoulder length sleek brown hair. Dark brown hair. You have green eyes and you wear very red lipstick. You are extremely pale. And no, you don't wear glasses.

Nice try Jenny.... I am tallish (six feet) and slimmish (although if I keep on eating like this.... :rolleyes: ) Sadly, my hair is fairly straight. And exotic? I sure hope so :D

I rather think of you as I thought of your character Losse.... very attractive, normal looking girl (not too tall, but then not too short... slim but not anorexic, nice hair but not golden locks).... with a smile that can win over any guy's heart... and that little evil grin that shows that you are plotting something .... whether good or bad we'll find out latear

[Glirdan]

Oh my gosh!! Was that Perky who posted!? C'est un miracle Translation; It's a miracle!! I missed you my dear old Ent!! It's been far to long! Will you be staying?? Besides, I want to see a picture of you to get that image of an Ent out of my head. :p

As for others...

Jenny is Galadriel (I don't know why, I just do).

Sleepy, of course, is Slimy Cowell. :p

Farael is....oooo....I need to get back to you on this one.

[Lhunardawen]

My imagination isn't quite as weird as I think it is, after all.

[JennyHallu]

I did specify "exotic to Canadians". That doesn't take as much work. ;)


EDIT: I just saw that Galadriel comparison. Wow. I kind of like that :).

Hi to you, Glirdan. Go to the Shire, and read my post in 'Numenorian Blood Runs Black'.



Oh, and Firefoot is Faramir with a mask on.

[Orominuialwen]

Perky looks just like Hobbes (from Calvin & Hobbes) but has the exact same personality as Calvin. He's rather mischevious and tends to get in trouble a lot, but is very funny.

[Nogrod]

There is something in that first avatar of Jenny's, that has made an imprint on me anyhow. She must be dark-haired, with all the cost - don't tell me you're a blonde!

And then there is that smile she has... Something I can't quite fathom... Sitting at her desktop, "doing her work" while lingering on the Downs. And the bourgeoise family-thing behind her: a husband and a SUV at the backyard? Just the rebel inside her at the BD?

[Morai]

Sleepy, of course, is Slimy Cowell.

Nah, I think he's Jack White. He has that "rocker" personality. Not to mention that he seems to have an affection for the genre of music. Not quite sure about the appearance, but then again Rocker's are more vibrant in my mind than actors and such. :cool:

[Mithalwen]

Anguirel is a Faberge Egg.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

No, he's Tom Felton.

Quite interesting. Lets compare all the people I've been said to resemble-

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fd/Harry_Potter_-_Goblet_of_Fire.jpg/200px-Harry_Potter_-_Goblet_of_Fire.jpg

Quite a lot when I was younger I believe.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b2/HanSolo5.jpg/290px-HanSolo5.jpg

Quite a few people have made this compariosn, Rune happens to strongly agree with this and has often referred to me as 'Young Harrison'.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/John68.jpg/180px-John68.jpg

Perhaps the second most common resemblance people have made. I'm not really sure how I look like Lennon but... *shrug*

http://www.123people.net/b/brody-adrien/brody-adrien1.jpg

Possibly the most common, and most accurate even according to me. Many people have said I look a lot like him.

As for Jack White-

http://www.soundgenerator.com/pix/articles/2005/10/whitestripesJwhite_SG_140.jpg

In that pose, and if I grew my hair out longer I guess theres a slight resemblance.

Personally I believe Raine Maida, lead singer of Our Lady Peace, resembles me the most -

http://dropd.com/issue/84/OurLadyPeace/raine2.jpg

Feel free to picture me as any of those! :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

That’s weird, Sleepy, because, a lot of people say I look like this guy:

http://torbaybookshop.tbphost.co.uk/TBP.Control/ShopImages/10000124/Fred%20Dibnah.JPG

I don't know if anyone outside Blighty knows who that is.

Anyway, I've recently found myself imagining Eomer as Brian from Family guy. He looks vaguely Snoopy-ish... I think. Only, he'd wear a kilt.



(Dibnah, may you Rest In Peace).

[THE Ka]

Perhaps the second most common resemblance people have made. I'm not really sure how I look like Lennon but... *shrug*

I know what you mean dear, every time I get around to making a portrait of you this happens... It's a Memorex moment:

"Ooh! You've done another Ka! Pastel this time? Van Gogh's? Good, Good... Is that Lennon? No wait! You've told me three times before! It's..."


It's almost akin to a From most angles, Rousseau looks like Kalvin Klein... moment.

But dear, to quote Patsy: You are absolutely fabulous, dahhhling... :cool:

Everyone knows those television show hosts. I imagine most of our BD moderators as those folk. The specifics will come later.

Sleepy looks like a young Harrison Ford ! :)

And now that I've finally seen you I can say that you look like that guy who's name eludes me at present. ;)

[THE Ka]

Not exactly sure why, but Rune has always struct me as a Buzdan Hayaller, but without a bald head as he had in Noi...

~Aesthete

[Farael]

Well, I don't talk much to either of them, but there are two BD'ers I feel like talking about.

In my mind Rune is Marx... or at least, he looks like him. And he smokes pipe, so I guess he's also slightly hobbit-ish. So I guess Rune is a short, rather chubby but in a good way Marx.

Also, even though I believe I've never talked to her, The Ka is clearly your good ol' slightly bohemian painter. A look of absent-mindedness veils a really sharp mind and paint stains veil what otherwise would be a rather snappy attire :p Yes, I always imagine The Ka as a cute painter.

Oh! and before I forget... Diamond is obviously Daffy duck in disguise. But she ain't fooling me!!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

hehe so very wrong Farael. . . but I will change my avy back, so that you can stay beliving that I loook like Marx. :)

[THE Ka]

paint stains veil what otherwise would be a rather snappy attire Yes, I always imagine The Ka as a cute painter.

Hey now, I make sure I don't spill too much paint on myself, and I have a good smock and pair of pants in case it is anything messy. Ha, ha, cute? The only thing I will say is that you might wish to discuss with Sleepy before you stick a claim to that... ;)

clearly your good ol' slightly bohemian painter

Now that, I believe, is quite true. Many a relative I have claims from Bohemia. And yes, the french-made presumption of Boho lifestyle is very true too.

A look of absent-mindedness

Ah splendid, you found one of my ploys. It keeps people generally themselves. I despise too many ladies and gentlemen with masks, it makes one awfully alone at thought and opinion.

Sleepy looks like a young Harrison Ford !

Yes, slightly. From the left side you can definately make a reference with the jaw line and bridge of the nose.

Personally, all the times before and when I have seen him, Sleepy has always looked like Sleepy to me... :p


And thank you for the compliments Farael, not many with thought like yours do I recieve.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Rune looks like a chicken combined with a frog that was half-chewed on by a martian turkey while eating an eclair himself. :)

Ka looks like the girl I love... wait... Ka is the girl I love... :p

[THE Ka]

Rune looks like a chicken combined with a frog that was half-chewed on by a martian turkey while eating an eclair himself.

I am oh so tempted to illustrate that, but Rune has vowed to give me a social shun if I push the envelope of jokes... ;)

Truly though, Rune could pass as a very good Buzdan Hayaller, independent of mind, a bit of humour and rebellion against the shuns of tradition... Either that or your Marx icon is becoming a rather good decoy.

~ Ka

[Encaitare]

Ka! I don't think I ever showed you the picture that I made that turned out looking like you!

Or maybe I did. But if not, here it is again, cos I tried to search the thread to check and it just made my computer freeze. :(

the Lady Ka (http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/ElvenPirate41/Random%20Stuff/?action=view&current=portrait.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch15)

Oh my... :eek:!

That is wonderfully close dear, except for the hair colour, but everything else is quite close. Thank you for the portrait my angel of aesthetes, it is beautiful!
You haven't shown me that one before, but I am glad to see it now dear.

Encaitare, you've always looked uncannily like my friend Autumn, especially the fabulous hair.


~ Ka

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

That was a marvoulus picture, not far from what I had imagined. . . It just lacks the Pilsner Urquell, THE ka always carries around. :eek:

[Sleepy Ranger]

Hah! That does look a lot like her. Good job! :)

[Glirdan]

Okay Enca, it's official...you scare me. That's how I pictured her as well... Creepy yet ironic with a tinge of hilarity...for me anyway...

[THE Ka]

It just lacks the Pilsner Urquell, THE ka always carries around.

Ha. Ha. Ha... :rolleyes:
