The *new* Barrow Downs photo page!

[Valesse]

for all who have since been revealed: foxy! Spoken like a gentleman :p

I must say, malkatoj, there are no words I can form with my mouth... or fingers, that completely explains my envy of your cow..hat-doll.. balancing act. Very neat picture that I felt like calling you out on. Mwahahaha!

[Cailín]

Always fun to just look at the photos. :) Wilwarin looks much like I imagined her, though slightly lacking in the wing department. Nice pictures from everyone else as well.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I can't see the new pics. :( I just have to keep imagining you, then. So, Wilwa doesn't have wings and every newly added person is foxy. That's a start. ;)

[wilwarin538]

Oh I have wings, you just can't see them from that angle. ;)

[Lalwendë]

What's the one thing a female Downer is least likely to own? A pair of scissors I think! How weird - so many of us have long hair! I also wonder how many Downers wear glasses, but haven't got them on in their photos? It seems there is definitely a 'look' emerging. ;)

[wilwarin538]

I also wonder how many Downers wear glasses, but haven't got them on in their photos?

How did you know?!? :eek: I had taken them off for the picture since I usually don't wear my glasses, I usually wear contact lenses.

I noticed the hair thing to. It must be a popular hairstyle all over the world.

I save my glasses for night time reading, but do have contacts. I need something or I'm just totally blind.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Finally after 2 hours of trying I can see the new pic's

Wilwa and Valesse looks more or less like I imagined. The only thing that suprised me about wilwa was the braces and she looks a bit younger than I thought.

Vallesse is allmost as I Imagined, allthough she looks a bit older than i imagined. I suspect the angle in witch the photo was taken to cause this. . .

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Ooh, now I can see them, too! You are all so beautiful. :)

[Morsul the Dark]

Glasses i always wear my glasses outside of the shower even when i sleep my sight is so bad if i took my glasses off i would never find them again at least not in time to see the next presidential election(Bush no more years YAY!)sorry 'bout that

EDIT:I was seeing if my avatar works again(it doesnt) when I found that if you nsearch for "Morsul" on google images smallthis comes up (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/images/rating/rating_3.gif) i was proud to see that my name brings up the downs

[Lalwendë]

We must all be far too busy reading to bother going to the hairdressers. ;) Actually no, I don't go to the hairdressers because a) I am tight-fisted and I can cut it myself for free, b) I don't like people poking aorund my head and c) being asked on every visit if I'm "going anywhere nice" for my holidays makes me fell like being overly sarcastic in reply ("oh, just having a fortnight in Mordor, you know"). :p

I wear contacts too. I save my specs for at home because they are so thick I can guarantee I would get 'humorous' comments from people about them. :rolleyes:

What has surprised me is that the male Downers by and large look very 'clean-cut'. There aren't many guys who look hippyish, which I would have expected. Could this be my age that I have presumed Tolkien fans to look like that? I did see a lot of people like that at Birmingham 2005, but then I was also surprised to see many, many perfectly ordinary looking older people too.

[the guy who be short]

What has surprised me is that the male Downers by and large look very 'clean-cut'. There aren't many guys who look hippyish, which I would have expected.We're all hippy rockers at heart. :smokin:

Wilwa looks much more human than I imagined her. I really imagined her with a manic, static grin on her face, and buzzing around a lot.

[Celebuial]

I hate hairdressers, well actually I have a kind of fear of them so thats my excuse for having hair all the way to my butt. Plus you get cherged more for a trim if you have longer hair even though they're only cutting off the ends... so just as much as they cut off anybody elses! Besides I look more Elven like that!

I wear glasses too (you can't see because I cleverly have my back to the camera), I'd love to wear contacts but my eye sight keeps changing too much. I have the same problem with really thick lenses and seeing as I've just moved to uni and now have to pay for everything my self; I thought I'd splash out: I spent £257 at the opticians :eek: , because I decided I needed my lenses thinned. I have rimless glasses you see.

I expected the guys to look more hippy-ish too... But I don't think there's anything wrong with clean-cut either!

Boro dances like Tom Cruise? And Gothmog too? Wow Tolkien fans and Ballroom dancers... I thought I was the only one!.... Well I do waltz to my own tune ;) ... But thats a different kettle of fish...

[Boromir88]

B88, great piccy! But who's that guy to the right of you in the Gondor uniform?
Funny guy today, are we Mr. Hedgethistle? :p

Boro dances like Tom Cruise? And Gothmog too? Wow Tolkien fans and Ballroom dancers... I thought I was the only one!.... Well I do waltz to my own tune
I don't know any let says "proper" dances, I just make my own stuff up and call it dancing. :rolleyes:

[Orominuialwen]

You can't tell from my picture, since my hair is up in it, but I do have kind of long hair. I've never had it cut by anyone but my mom, and she only does my bangs. The rest hasn't been cut in over 12 years, but it's only grown a foot or so in that time, since it's curly and grows slowly to begin with.

I always imagined Valesse to have the same color of hair as the cat in her avatar for some reason. Also, Wilwa looks like an acquaintence of mine from fencing, except with longer hair. Aman's new pic is very pretty too. And Nuranar looks quite like what I imagined her to be.

[Nuranar]

Dittos with Oromin on the long hair - mine's a couple inches above my waist (and growing fast), but pinned up and bonneted, it's impossible to see. And I don't wear glasses, although I have them... I use them for distance vision, usually only driving at night. I don't really need them. The frames are period, though, so they'd fit right into that picture if I wanted to look like a bookish spinster.

And Nuranar looks quite like what I imagined her to be.
Hmm... so you think I'm 140 years out of style? Well! :D :p

[Valesse]

I started thinking about cutting my hair at Thenamir's line party for TTT. Micheal Martinez was there (I ended up sitting near him) and for some reason he kept calling me Arwen after I insisted I was dressed as a hobbit lass. That didn't go over very well with me, so, yeah... I might get it cut soon, but like Celebuial I can tuck the ends into my jean pockets! Isn't that Famdoosical?!

Oro: I do actually have very, very blonde streaks in my hair, but they aren't very large which makes it hard to see.
Nuranar: I LOVE your dress. Revolutionary era?

[malkatoj]

Since the message board on the site seems to hate me (is it the dial-up?) I'll post here.

The cow isn't technically mine, so don't be jealous of me, it's my cousins' cow. They have a similar dog. And I happen to enjoy balancing strange things on my head.

Also, I know it's been up there forever but I'm a huge fan of TORE's picture. And so many of you look like people I know!

[Telchar]

And so many of you look like people I know!


:D HAHAHA - I couldn't feel more different ;) Then again Im so much older than most of you beautiful younglings :)

[Kal-el]

cheers, a little west side for all of you, lol

[Meneltarmacil]

I noticed that Nuranar's pic, plus her comment about having very long hair, suggests that my dream (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=412731#post412731) was pretty accurate as far as her appearance goes, even though the events in it were really weird (And I also seem to recall that the phantom was in fact modding a WW game right around Halloween as well). That's very interesting...

[VanimaEdhel]

Now you guys have me confused. Way to go!! :rolleyes: It really does look like him. If that actually is Morsul, than that means Morsul knows Hilary Duff!!! Creepy!!

Whoa...Hillary Duff mentioned on the Barrow-Downs. Now I've seen everything.

I don't look "like" anyone, sadly. Although I guess I look like me. :smokin:

[Glirdan]

Whoa...Hillary Duff mentioned on the Barrow-Downs. Now I've seen everything.

Ya, I never thought I'd see Hilary Duff mentioned here either, but, anything can happen when your insane as I am.

As for pictures, I'd have to say... That I'm finaly going to send one in....As soon as get a good one that is (thank you camera phones!!!!) and when I have my haircut. I tell you, I look like a freak with long hair.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I tell you, I look like a freak with long hair.
:mad:
Long hair is cool and often beutiful !

Don't make me come over there and beat you with an Orlando Bloom film.

[Glirdan]

No, I mean I look wierd with long hair. I really do. I don't look like me, if you get what I mean. So please DON'T beat me with an Orlando Bloom tapes!! Oh the horror!! The horror!!!!! :eek:

[Gil-Galad]

Vanima, do i see a smirk in the second picture?

[VanimaEdhel]

Vanima, do i see a smirk in the second picture?

You just may. And you see *gasp* a SMILE here!
A smile (http://photos-214.facebook.com/n9/4082/124/2103419/n2103419_30044214_4798.jpg)
And another! (http://photos-215.facebook.com/n9/4082/124/2103419/n2103419_30044215_5002.jpg)

Amazing, huh?

And nooo! Beating with Orlando Bloom movies? The threat alone is...ouch...

[Meneltarmacil]

I've got a picture here for the site. I'll also PM it to Tig.

Oh, and since there's a redeye problem, you'll just have to take my word for it that my eyes are bluish-green.

EDIT: Ah, it seems I can't put an attachment in a PM. Oh well.
And also, I don't think my hair is as long now as it was then (that was back in October last year).

[Eluchíl]

I have an old generic one I could donate.

Here you go (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/eluchil/rahdlp.jpg)

[Cailín]

Huh, well, I’ve yet to send in a photo, mostly since I liked my descriptions in How Do You Imagine Other Bders so much and I did not wish to crush the rather favourable images. :) However, my mental images at least are in no way disturbed by the actual photos of the rest of you, so I guess it wouldn’t matter too much. Anyway – I have a webcam now, so finally I can take pictures!

I doubt this image is suited for the photo page, since my webcam is of such low quality that any resizing or converting immediately destroys the entire picture and it’s already a little distorted. Besides, my father recently shot some pictures of me in my elven dress, which would be far more appropriate (if I ever get to see them, that is, which is highly questionable). So I shall just post it here (http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-1/1132452/cailin2.jpg) then.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

You do look quite Elven, Cailín. :)

Menel, do you watch wrestling? You remind me of Edge. :D

[the guy who be short]

Menel has a crazy glint about the eyes that I fully expected. :D

[Glirdan]

I'm inclined to agree with Eomer. Menel, you do look a bit like Edge.

As for my picture, it shall be in soon!! :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Meneltarmacil gained the Sharingan.

Nilpaurion, your battle . . .

Ha, he'll never beat me. NEVER!!!

Seriously, Menel, you weren't, by any chance, using an especially nasty illusion skill at that time, are you?

[Meneltarmacil]

Menel, do you watch wrestling? You remind me of Edge.Sorry, Eomer, I don't really follow wrestling and don't know much about this person.

As for the crazy glint about the eyes, it's nice to hear that your expectations were correct.

Meneltarmacil gained the Sharingan.

Yes, Nilpaurion, dimly-lit natural history museums can give one some redeye in pictures. But it was interesting to hear of this anime ability after I searched for it on Google. And yes, that is the real me, except for the eyes, which only appeared that way because of the lighting in the museum. As mentioned before, they are bluish-green in reality.

*Nilpaurion Felagund falls down a bottomless pit*

[Gil-Galad]

Hmm... which museam was that Menel? looks familiar

[wilwarin538]

I recently got another picture of myself taken. I like this one much better then the one on the photo page, but I think I'll just post it here, instead of sending it to Tig.

[Meneltarmacil]

Hmm... which museam was that Menel? looks familiarThat would be the Smithsonian in Washington DC.

[Glirdan]

Well, I finally have a pic of myself, but I can't send it to Tig to put up on the page, so I'll post here instead and she can take it from here. Just to let you know, the title that goes with it is completely accurate. That's not normally how I look in pictures, trust me.

[Cailín]

That would be the Smithsonian in Washington DC.

Hey, I have been there! And then there was a fire alarm and the whole building had to be evacuated. Huh, how strange.

You do look quite Elven, Cailín.

:) Incidentally, when the first Lord of the Rings movie came out, my drama teacher stared at me for an entire lesson and then asked the class whether they thought I looked strangely like 'that one elf from Lord of the Rings' as well. Unfortunately, no one else had seen the movie yet.

(Suddenly realising I still don't know which of the elves she meant. I hope it was not Legolas).

I recently got another picture of myself taken. I like this one much better then the one on the photo page, but I think I'll just post it here, instead of sending it to Tig.

I think I can see why you would like it better but I think you are far prettier with your hair down. :)

And Glirdan, you look absolutely nothing like I imagined you! Are you quite sure it is really you?

[Glirdan]

You flatter me! :o Yes Cailin, that is indeed me, with short hair. So, that might be one reason you're thrown off. And now I'm quite interested to hear how you imagined me!?

[Kath]

Cailin and wilwa - great photos! I never knew I was talking to such pretty people. And yes Cailin you do look a bit Elvish, but lets hope that teacher of yours meant Arwen rather than Leggy!

[Cailín]

Yes Cailin, that is indeed me, with short hair. So, that might be one reason you're thrown off. And now I'm quite interested to hear how you imagined me!?

I am not quite sure, I was just really surprised! I think I must have always imagined you looking like the little brother of a friend of mine, who is French and you are well, not French, but you know. Anyway, he’s a blonde for one.

And I thought you’d have more hair. ;)

[wilwarin538]

Thank you Kath! And Cailin, there are pros and cons of each of my photos. If I had a pic where my face looked like the one in pic#2 but had the hair of pic #1 it would be a perfect pic of me. :rolleyes: By the way, you are quiet pretty yourself, I agree that you look elvish.

I have a pic on my camera at the moment of myself and Wayne. Once I get my Dad to get it onto the computer you'll all get to see the little goblin. ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I like your hair on pic. 2. actually I think both of them are quite nice, with nr. 2. beeing a tad better. :)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Geez, I didn't even know people were posting their photos here for me to find. Doh! I will try to get back here tomorrow so I can get them on the photo page. Life has been busy, crazy and wonderful... so I guess I've been neglectful of the page. My apologies.

any recommendation?

[elronds_daughter]

First of all, jack, this is not the place to ask those questions. Especially not twice in a row. PM one of the moderators, or post your query somewhere else. Don't just tack a completely off-topic post onto a much-visited thread. And sorry, I can't help you. But using exact words will often get you many realted threads. I know this from experience. 'Downers use synonyms often. Or you could type in synonyms. Learn how to work the system, would ya?

Anyway.....back on-topic.

Wilwa, you look beeyooteeful. You look like I should know you. ;)

Apology accepted, Tig. (Now just hope I don't go all Darth Vader on you and kill you before I tell you that....) We all know how busy life can get. We understand. You're forgiven. (and yes, I am schizophrenic.)

Callin, you do indeed have an Elvish air about you! I think you look like a cross between Liv Tyler and Cate Blanchett....Elvish indeed.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Okay, the page should be up to date now.
If you sent me a picture and you don't see it... please email me at psyknife@psy-strike.com or PM me. I think I've been keeping good folders of all of these... but I don't know... it takes me by surprise when people post them here at the thread. So, if you want your picture added to the page, you need to email it to me, otherwise I may miss it.
Again, my apologies with my recent slacking. Life has been crazy... but in really good ways. :D

[Glirdan]

I say a round of applause for Tig for putting all this hard work into the photo page! :D Thank you Tig!!

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

I've just sent a new picture to Tig, but I'll post another one here for your enjoyment/horror.

[Farael]

I've just sent a new picture to Tig, but I'll post another one here for your enjoyment/horror.
Pretty nice... do you know how to play 'Scotland the Great'? such a great song... specially when coupled with "Tell me' Ma" as performed by Men In Kilts (a local band over here... those guys rock!!!)

I'll have a pic for you all coming soon...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

n I've just sent a new picture to Tig, but I'll post another one here for your enjoyment/horror.

Enjoyment clearly enjoyment! Horror NO! Enjoyment YES!

[Formendacil]

Pretty nice... do you know how to play 'Scotland the Great'? such a great song... specially when coupled with "Tell me' Ma" as performed by Men In Kilts (a local band over here... those guys rock!!!)

I'll have a pic for you all coming soon...

I'm pretty tha' be "Scotland the Brave", laddie...

Tha' be a vera pretty picture there, lassie. The Canadian o' the plains, raised in a culture o' Scottish bagpipes and a history o' MacDonalds and Douglasses can just hear the bonny strains o' tha' lovely intrument you be holdin'

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

It seems that there's a bit of confusion about who the body belongs to. Well, I'll tell you what, I'm definitely not a hairy Scottish man playing the bagpipes over the Thames.

And thanks for the compliments. Photoshop = magic.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It seems that there's a bit of confusion about who the body belongs to. Well, I'll tell you what, I'm definitely not a hairy Scottish man playing the bagpipes over the Thames.


This is shocking! A Scottish man at the Thames, why has he not been shot allready?
And Abercrombie is not hairy! I cannot belive this, my whole world is falling apart.

I cannot take this anymore, I think I will go cover my self with sausages. . .

[Esgallhugwen]

My boyfriend and I are going on a day trip on the 5th. So hopefully I might have a new pic for Tiger lily. Just for something new and fun. ;)

[wilwarin538]

It seems that there's a bit of confusion about who the body belongs to

No confusion here. I knew right away it was your head on Eomer's body. :p

Nice pic. ;)

[Valier]

I've sent Tigerlily a pic for this thread, I'm just waiting for it to get posted..Let me know what you guys think(Giggle) :D

[gralin musicteeth]

Could someone give me some easy, step-by-step instructions on how to put a picture up on this thread? I am a total imbecile when it comes to computers, so any help would be apprectiated. Thanks!!!

[Valier]

Gralin do what I did! go to the first page of this thread Tigerlily has an email address there just email it to her. :D

[Farael]

I've sent Tigerlily a pic for this thread, I'm just waiting for it to get posted..Let me know what you guys think(Giggle) :D

Oh, no!!! it was quite fun to imagine you as a big, dancing kitten.... now you'll just ruin my dreams. Although who knows? maybe you ARE a big dancing kitten.

Which reminds me, I might send Tigerlily a pic as soon as my girlfriend decides to send me the ones she took last time.

[Valier]

Don't worry Farael You won't be disappointed!!!! :D

[Valier]

Sorry to double post ...But my pic is up now...(Giggle) Thanks Tigerlily!!!!! :D

[Roa_Aoife]

GASP! You really are a cat!

Nice tatoo, Valier. Is Lea your actual name, or just your initials? Or does it mean something entirely different?

[Farael]

Don't worry Farael You won't be disappointed!!!! :D

Gah, meh and all other dissapointed noises!!! A tatoo just doesn't make it in my book. Either you are a cat or not!! :D but maybe you are one of those weird cats with no hair. Oh, and neat tattoo by the way... not as good as you being a real massive, dancing cat but it is pretty nice.

[gralin musicteeth]

I must say that Bruce MacCulloch rocks.

[Valier]

Nice tatoo, Valier. Is Lea your actual name, or just your initials? Or does it mean somethdifferent?ing entirely

Actually it says LEO, my astrological sign! I am as Leo-ie as it gets! :D

[Alkanoonion]

Some great pictures on your photo page Tigerlily Gamgee
My favourite picture is the one with Child of the 7th Age, Esty, & Thenamir it is good to see members becoming friends outside the forum.
Well done Tigerlily :)

[Alkanoonion]

todays picture taken from my phone


http://www.villagephotos.com/image.asp?id_=15904681

pic was just taken at my work desk :D

[Lush]

Cailin is rocking the Scarlett Johansson/Sylvia Plath look.

[Sleepy Ranger]

You do look quite Elven, Cailín. :)

Menel, do you watch wrestling? You remind me of Edge. :D

And I wonder if you've noticed that Captain of Despair looks like Christian...
Oh my! We have E&C on the 'Downs! That so reeks of awesomeness!

Anyway, this thread needs more Sleepy Ranger.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

At the risk of sounding stupid...

...how do you attach a photo to the thread? Must it be a website address?

[the guy who be short]

Neither Glirdy or Formen look anything how I expected them to look.

Form, for me, has always been a tall, gangly, pale fellow; so tall, in fact, that he swayed with the wind.

Glirdan... well, I simply expected him to look more hyper. Where's the manic glint in the eyes?

[Glirdan]

Glirdan... well, I simply expected him to look more hyper. Where's the manic glint in the eyes?

Oh, that's actually a very bad picture of me. I could send in a picture of me looking like myself, but I don't think you'd be able to see the manic gleam. :D

[Roa_Aoife]

I find it harder and harder to believe your true age, Sleepy.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I find it harder and harder to believe your true age, Sleepy. (Roa)I agree. He looks older than me. Well, at least, more mature.

And I'm supposed to be a few months off two decades of existence.

Formendacil lacks the gruff (or arrogant, depending on the moment :p ) look on his face. He looks . . . tame.

If I tried very hard, I can connect Glirdan with his posts, although I agree with daga'y here. Where's the manic glint?

[Glirdan]

If I tried very hard, I can connect Glirdan with his posts,

Really? Well, let's test that theory out. Now, no looking at the calendar...how old am I?? ;)

By the way, I've never seen myself having a maniac glint in my eyes....Maybe I really should send in a different pic of me....

[The Only Real Estel]

Hopefully I'll be getting a new picture up here soon - one that's not roughly two & a half years old, inverted, & misleading as to the number of eyes that I have. :D

[wilwarin538]

I've never seen myself having a maniac glint in my eyes

But I have! There is a definite glinty maniacleness in his eyes. ;)

[Diamond18]

I'm debating between two similar pictures to send to Tigerlily. This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/Hag1.jpg) or this. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/Hag2.jpg)

They are each 4 years old (to the month) but sadly, remain the best pictures ever taken of me. :p

Though of course, there's always this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/cowallace.jpg) as well....

[littlemanpoet]

You nut, Di18. :) What about that demure, lovely one? You know the one of which I speak...... ;)

I really think the Scots Jersey ought to be given to Eomer of the Rohirrim. :D

[Diamond18]

You nut, Di18. :) What about that demure, lovely one? You know the one of which I speak...... ;)

I just think those capture the "inner me" better than any other. :p

I assume LMP is referring to this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/Sarah2003.jpg) , which happens to be almost 3 years old. I thought I used to have it up at Alk's page, but I may be wrong. More recently I have been caught at a wedding (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/Sarah2004_2.jpg), and appear none too pleased. But truly, who cares about me? What you all want to see are pictures of my car. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/Sarah-Prizm-29Sept2005.jpg)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I'm taking the first one, Diamond18... you look fierce! Heheh. Love the hair!!!

So, as soon as I crop and upload the five new photos I have ya'll should check ou the page again for new (and updated) faces!

Also... thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday over on the photo page... but... err... my birthday isn't until May 23rd. Hahaha. It was surprising to see birthday wishes over there. Tee hee! Come back on May 23rd and send wishes again :-)

Lastly... here's a recent pic of me to share. I got this new fitness gear from Niketown and it's hot! I love it! I'm working on my Eowyn-esk physique :-D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Tig, may I have your abs?

[the phantom]

I saw that pic last weekend on Myspace, Tig, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since.

You are....well... hotness incarnate.

[Glirdan]

I just sent in a new picture. But I still don't think you'll see that manic glint in my eyes. You'd have to meet me face to face in order to see it. :D But I'll post the new pic here.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I saw that pic last weekend on Myspace, Tig, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since.
Well, why didn't you post and say so on MySpace then, hmmmmmmm Mr. Phantom??? You are too kind :-)

Fea... my abs look nicer in that picture than they really are, I believe... that's why I like that picture... haha.

Glirdan... I'll see if I have time to get that up while at work tomorrow... but I'll get it up as soon as I can. Thanks.

[Diamond18]

Glirdan, is that character in your avatar a male or a female? Because here I was thinking you were a female, because your avatar looked female.

I don't think you look weird in your picture, but the purse in the background is a bit distracting for some reason. :p

Fea... my abs look nicer in that picture than they really are, I believe... that's why I like that picture... haha.

Well you won't be seeing a picture of my abs anytime soon. You have shamed the rest of us into hiding, I am sure. :p

[Glirdan]

Glirdan, is that character in your avatar a male or a female? Because here I was thinking you were a female, because your avatar looked female.

No, it's a male. It's a character from Final Fantasy nine (one of the best Playstation 1 games in the world!! :D ). But I do see how you can get confused. Sorry for that confusion Diamond.

Glirdan... I'll see if I have time to get that up while at work tomorrow... but I'll get it up as soon as I can. Thanks.

Thanks Tig. I like that picture better anyway...

[Telperaca]

..to post a picture or not - that is the question...

[Valier]

The answer to your question is YES you should!:D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

That's a lovely family pic, Telperaca.

Incidentally, I will be trying to convince SamwiseGamgee to pose for a photo with me at his upcoming wedding. It's about time I make good on that kilt promise. :D

You weirdos. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You know you like it.

[Mithalwen]

He loves it - they all do..... :D

[Lhunardawen]

It can't be helped. :p

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Ack! Your email totally got lost in my inbox, Glirdan, and I just came back across it today. So sorry! I've updated the page and posted your pic.

[Glirdan]

Why thank you Tig!! :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Tig's my hero. Have I ever mentioned that before?

[Diamond18]

For pity's sake. I've been trying and trying to get a stupid, inane comment up on that Tag Board on the photos page and it simply will not post. So:

You are all exceedingly young. I'm sure none of you have seen your Eleventy-First birthday. And I may have mentioned this before, but TORE, I want your hair. And Orom, I want yours too. Bascially anyone with curls, I covet your hair. Mwah ha ha!

There. Totally random and useless, but I feel cleansed somehow.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Hey just wantet to let you know how much I love the new pictures, well maybe they are not knew to you, but it is the first time I am seeing them.

I really like the ones of the wonderfull Fea, Lhuna and Abercombie.

Who knew you could have so pretty arch/werewolf/hairy-scotchman buddies. . .

[The Only Real Estel]

I may have mentioned this before, but TORE, I want your hair.

Well, I don't remember hearing it if you did. :)

I really like the ones of the wonderfull Fea, Lhuna and Abercombie.

Who knew you could have so pretty arch/werewolf/hairy-scotchman buddies

I second that. Well put, Rune! :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'm sure some you have seen this already.

But I'm also sure many of you haven't yet.

So, to sate you for a while as you wait for my more up-to-date photo (still have to find a head protector of Konoha--I do have a right to be in-character, da?), voila:

[JennyHallu]

All right, ladies, all together now!!!


AWWWWWW.......How cute!!

[Diamond18]

Awwwwwww what a cute wittle Nilpy. :D

[alatar]

You know that our generation of young-at-hearts is watching us, rolling their eyes, and laughing that we're all a bunch of kids still?
You are. :p

Enjoy it while it lasts.

And thanks for keeping the site updated, Tigerlily Gamgee.

[Orominuialwen]

You are all exceedingly young. I'm sure none of you have seen your Eleventy-First birthday. And I may have mentioned this before, but TORE, I want your hair. And Orom, I want yours too. Bascially anyone with curls, I covet your hair. Mwah ha ha!

Why thank you! :)

[Balin999]

I really really really like Tig's and Fea's pics. You both are just.... well... wow.... sorry
;)

[Diamond18]

*rolls eyes*

:p

Not that they're not, but it's the prevalent theme of this thread. :p

[The Only Real Estel]

Not quite, Diamond.

I think you're forgetting about Eomer and his kilt. ;) :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

TORE has a point. The prospect of Aimè in a kilt is a high point of my life right now. ;)

[Balin999]

Hm, I'm sorry, but I didn't bother to read through all the replies....
Can you believe it? It's 08:00 am here and I'm awake... :eek:

[JennyHallu]

Tig? Did you see my email?

[Diamond18]

Well, I tried to get some recent pictures of myself -- I went to get my hair cut so I took a couple before pictures and a few after pictures. But, apparently, I need to learn the art of self photography, because they all turned out impossibly bad. The best one (read, somewhat salvagable) of the lot is a Before picture, now rendered outdated by my new haircut. ;)

I look severely depressed but that's just because I was concentrating really hard on holding the camera steady. So that's my "intense concentration" face. The one I use to puzzle over Werewolf games. ;)

[narfforc]

Hey Diamond18, where did you get that Silmaril from

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hey Diamond18, where did you get that Silmaril from

From that good old Silmarill shop on the street corner.

[Diamond18]

I crafted it myself. It's one of my infamous light absorbing silmarils. ;)

[Balin999]

hm..... can you switch off the flash? would be better. Tip: Let a friend take a picture, that way you don't have to concentrate on the camera :p

[narfforc]

Or maybe get Beren and Luthien to come and steal the flash, or the batteries, or the camera, but then Diamond would'nt have her brilliant Silmaril.

[Diamond18]

Well now that you've compared the flash to a silmaril I'm rather fond of it. :)

I took some pictures with the flash and some without, but I was also experimenting with how to hold the camera, so most of the non-flash pictures are stunning photographic captures of the sink. My concept of depth and such has never been good. :rolleyes: I do have pictures that friends or family took of me, but don't you just hate it when someone's fiddling with the camera while you're standing there smiling and being careful not to blink? And then when they finally take the picture you have a really forced, pained grimace on your face.... Or at least that's what most often happens to me. ;)

Next time I'll try just holding the camera at arm's length and pointing it at myself. Outdoors when its sunny.

It IS on topic to discuss photographic techniques, I hope?

[narfforc]

I know what you mean, I am terrible with a camera, I hate the things almost as much as Telephones. I try to avoid having my picture taken, I was told by an old wise man that they steal your spirit, since then I've never had one taken whilst I was drinking.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Whether you're taking your own pic with your arm out or in the mirror, a good trick is to look directly at the lens as though it were looking back at you. If you can see the shutter close, you're probably going to get a decent face shot.

And I'm a big fan of the silmaril as well.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Don't know why I'm sharing these. I got a loan of a camera so I thought I shouldn't waste it. They're so small they may hurt your eyes, so sorry about that.

And why not! Bonus points to the one who first ascertains the referenced movie and actor. :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Eomer, did this 'accident' have something to do with seeing Gandalf in an uncloaking situation? :p

I'm thinking of getting a new picture of myself for this here page. Photo shopped, of course... I have in my mind a picture of me and two Orcs on either side, me with my arm around one and giving a thumbs up to the other... We shall see.

[Valier]

Eomer you look like Brandon Lee from the Crow!!!

[Mithalwen]

Once I got over my intense disappointment that the pics did not involve a kilt... I started to think "Jim Morrison"....

[Lalaith]

The only thing I can think of is poor Gloucester....out vile jelly...but I don't think that's the accident Eomer had in mind.

[JennyHallu]

Are we being a very Goth Daredevil, Eomoer? (which would be Ben Affleck)

[Roa_Aoife]

First thought on Eomer's second pic- Johnny Depp from "Once Upon a Time in Mexico".... Ah, guns and meriachi bands- what's not to love?

[Eonwe]

I'm with roa on this one. I was just scolling donw to post that, but you beat me to it! :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Yes, it was Depp in Mexico. Well spotted you two; but Kath already got the Bonus Points. Sorry!

The 'accident' is not so much an accident, rather a vile act of torture.

[Morsul the Dark]

I still think no one(even the people in costumes...well ok maybe them) no one especially the ladies looks like theyre a lotr geek or geek in general for example Rinfanawen if I saw her the thought that she might remotely like lotr(or know what it is foor that matter) would never occur to me

[Farael]

Well, after a long time of holding back on my promise, here's a picture of myself (and my sister... NO SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/maw1603/100_3660.jpg

If you are wondering, no... it's not some strange cultural thing, my face is painted because of an activity we were having at the place where I volunteer... Now I have my hair a bit shorter, but you get a general idea of what I look like. Tigerlily, feel free to my picture up on your page if you want to =) I'll e-mail it to you as well if you rather have it that way.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

That's a great pic, Farael!

I like the flower on your left cheek. ;)

[Roa_Aoife]

Tell your sister she's very pretty.

[Lush]

Haha, in the Middle East, Farael would be screaming at us for calling his sister pretty (she IS very pretty ;) ).

You're not too shabby yourself, Farael, if I may say so. :D

[Farael]

Haha, in the Middle East, Farael would be screaming at us for calling his sister pretty (she IS very pretty ;) ).
Don't go as far as the Middle East.... in Latin America older brothers will do the same... and as a little buddy from where I volunteer said once, out there is Canada, but in here it's Africa (he's from Congo if I'm not mistaken). Same concept applies, out there it's the Internet but in here it's Latin America =P Or should I say :mad: ? No, she is pretty =)

You're not too shabby yourself, Farael, if I may say so. :D
*Blushes* Why, thanks =) I was feeling a bit self-conscious about the face-paint but it was all in good fun.

[Celuien]

Must echo what's been said. 'Tis a very nice picture. :)

Edit: Sigh. I'm feeling that my current picture (selected for a hidden meaning that maybe someone will pick up ;)) is inadequate. This one (http://www.freewebs.com/celuien/000_0623.jpg) is probably better for the next update. I'll e-mail the replacement too.

Thanks for the great site, Tigerlily!

[Diamond18]

Very nice pics, Farael and Celuien! :) C., somehow that looks very different from the previous one -- but I cannot guess the hidden meaning. *ponders*

(Oh, and big brothers will raise their hackles everywhere :p)

[Celuien]

C., somehow that looks very different from the previous one -- but I cannot guess the hidden meaning. *ponders*
Well, the old picture had the hidden meaning, which might not have been clear from my post last night. Has to do with my screen name. ;)

Very nice pics
Thanks! :)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

(Oh, and big brothers will raise their hackles everywhere :p)
*nod*

Great pics, everyone.

[the guy who be short]

I just noticed there's a pic of Blueearthmaiden up! You have annoyingly straight teeth. :) That is a compliment. You remind me of a girl from primary school infact... I wouldn't guess you so very old. :p

[JennyHallu]

Finally on the photo site...what do y'all think of me?

[Thinlómien]

Jenny, you look more hobbitish than I thought you'd look like. :) Anyway, the pic is nice nice and you look like a pretty hobbit lass.

[JennyHallu]

Hobbit...*sigh*

I wish I were less round.

[narfforc]

You need not worry Jennyhallu, you are a very good looking young lady, and not a starving stick insect.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Jenny, you're kidding me. You're adorable!

[Thinlómien]

Hobbit...*sigh*

I wish I were less round.Hmmm... You can sulk if you wish, but I think that one would rather be a pretty hobbit lass than ugly...

[Kath]

Hey now no self-deprecation please! You're all gorgeous, and let no one tell you otherwise!

[JennyHallu]

I'd rather be a pretty human lass. But I'm roundish.

[Thinlómien]

I'd rather be a pretty human lass.Well, as you wish. :) I think you could be a breelander, a dalewoman or an esgarothian as well... And a beorning if you were a bit more hairy. :p

[Celuien]

The photo is very nice, Jenny. And Fea's right. You are adorable. :)

[Lhunardawen]

I just noticed there's a pic of Blueearthmaiden up! You have annoyingly straight teeth. :) That is a compliment. You remind me of a girl from primary school infact... I wouldn't guess you so very old. :p
It just happened to be in a good angle, that's why. And hey, I'm NOT so very old... :p

[Diamond18]

I love your picture, Jenny. :) Doesn't match the image I had, but actually it does match your avatar. Kinda. With the hair... Anyway, psh about being too round. Psh and tsh and various other sounds that end in sh. You are, however, prettier than anyone who haunts the internet has a right to be. Which is an odd thing about this site, a lot of people here are that way.

I suspect half of you of posting fake pictures. :p

Well, the old picture had the hidden meaning, which might not have been clear from my post last night. Has to do with my screen name.

Well yes... and the old one is still on Tig's site. I still don't get it. :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Cel(u) = fountain in Sindarin. That's where we get Celos, Eithel Somethingorother, and Ecthelion. Do I get bonus points, then, Celuien? :D

Vzv, about Farael . . . let's see . . .

Hernan Crespo: Hmmm . . .
Gabriel Batistuta: Hmmm . . .
Manu Ginobili: Had a haircut, but still, hmmm . . .

Conclusion: Wow, you look absolutely Argentine! :D

Not that you look like the aforementioned people. Do we have a picture of Miguel Najdorf on file?

No.

Bummer . . .

[Celuien]

Bonus points to Nilp. :)

The other part of the hidden message is that the photo was taken in the Italian Water Gardens in Hyde Park. Half of my family is Italian, so the photo contained a clue to 50% of my family heritage. :D But that particular meaning would only have been known to me, and also requires recognizing a particular spot in London.

[wilwarin538]

Nilp, do you mean this (http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/pics/cn3436_najdorf.jpg) Miguel Najdorf? :p

Jenny: You're beautiful hun'. ;)

[zifnab]

Is this the thread we come to, to build our ego up? I respect your input more then your appearance my fellow bipeds. And that is a compliment.

[Diamond18]

Not just to build our egos up, zif. There's the creepy stalker aspect as well.

[Valier]

Not all stalkers need a picture of their stalkee :p ......Hence my location...;)

[JennyHallu]

YAY! EGO!

Thank you all for that little boost. I needed it.

[Nogrod]

I love your picture, Jenny. :) Doesn't match the image I had, but actually it does match your avatar. Kinda. With the hair...

I agree totally with my WW-wife here. Nice one, but against many of my imaginings... And you're so young! (Take this as a compliment or not - it's up to you, but I kind of meant it in the complimentary way) But the red hair is "right" - and something in the attitude that you can see from the picture too...

And Farael: you've been so definitively the "Mario" for so long, that it's hard to think of you as that kind of slender young man with bright eyes and a nice smile. :)

As soon as I get grips with a decent photo of myself - that would be in digital format - I'll come forwards too. Maybe I should try to scan one (I'm just so bad in the use of these applications)? But this is a nice thread anyways...

[littlemanpoet]

We were there! :eek: In October! Only because of a lost passport did we get the extra time. :rolleyes: That's at the end of the Serpentine! :)

[Celuien]

We were there! In October! Only because of a lost passport did we get the extra time. That's at the end of the Serpentine!
So close to a random meeting! We (well, 5/6 of the family) were there at the end of December and spent a significant amount of time wandering around that spot.

I have a picture of the Serpentine on my desktop... ;)

[littlemanpoet]

So close to a random meeting! We (well, 5/6 of the family) were there at the end of December and spent a significant amount of time wandering around that spot.

I have a picture of the Serpentine on my desktop... ;):) Cormorants. Princess Di's memorial. All kinds of sidewalks leading all over the greens. Very "forward" squirrels and pigeons. Dogs, dogs, and more dogs (with their owners): we saw Border collies, Great Danes, Golden Retrievers, you name it, they were there. London truly is a town for dogs and dog lovers. By the way, the Italian gardens are actually in Kensington Gardens, not Hyde Park; but that's an easy mistake to make, since they're right next door to each other.

Okay, that's probably about as off topic as it gets, so I promise to take this to PM if everybody else is just rolling their eyes. :p

[Anguirel]

I don't know if it's bad form to post pictures straight to this thread, but I'm so startled at my own ability to make a photobucket account that I can't resist...

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j267/Minocher/IMG_1432.jpg

I'm dressed up as King Philip II as France for the Mediaeval Banquet I attended last Thursday...

[Celuien]

By the way, the Italian gardens are actually in Kensington Gardens, not Hyde Park; but that's an easy mistake to make, since they're right next door to each other.
I stand corrected. Geography was never my best subject. :p

Further conversation best taken to PM, I think. :cool:

Very nice pic, Ang. The outfit is great!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I have a new picture here. Personally, I like it, especially the expression on the Orc's face. :D

Use whichever one you think is best.

[Diamond18]

What an odd taste in friendship you have, Hookbill. :p ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

What an odd taste in friendship you have, Hookbill. :p ;)

Hay, he had chocolate! What was I supposed to do? :p
Well, someone has to be my friend. Feel sorry for the little chap.

[Lalaith]

Like the pout, Ang...very Another Country. And splendid costume, hope you had a lovely time.
I attended a mediaeval banquet once...I was a fair damsel in blue velvet, Mr Lalaith was a plague victim. His bubos kept falling off as we danced the Horses' Branle... :rolleyes:

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

First things first... if you want your picture to show up on the Barrow Downs photo page then you need to email it to me. I don't always come scouring through here to see if people have been posting photos and expecting them to show up on the other site.

Secondly, I'm sorry updates have been slow. I have had some recent emergencies in life... my car (got hit on the street and needed body work), my cat (got gum disease and I spent lots of time at the emergency and regular vet), and myself... so I haven't been around. I've been spending too much time worrying about getting my finances under control and getting my health back on track. This is on top of the fact that I work two jobs and am working 14 hours days a couple times a week.

So, I'm sorry if you get annoyed that your pictures don't show up right away, but right now I seem to be able to update about once a month... just so ya'll know.

Thanks.

[JennyHallu]

*hugs for Tigerlily* No problem, gal! We all get smacked around by real life once in a while, and I think it's safe to say that everyone really appreciates all the hard work you've put into the photo page. Hope both your cat and your car are doing better.

[Anguirel]

Of course we're not annoyed. Your work to please our whims is a privilege, not a given, and we're extremely grateful for it.

[Farael]

I'll second and third what has been said before. =) I surely appreciate your hard work on the photo page and it is really a nice way to make the fourm experience less impersonal. This way we can have a face for the comments we read and it is a bit more like a community of people rather than of very inteligent humanoid text producing robots :p

But all jokes aside, I thank you and wish your cat, car and yourself good =)

[Mithalwen]

I don't know if it's bad form to post pictures straight to this thread, but I'm so startled at my own ability to make a photobucket account that I can't resist...

Ang - have you got a "Room without much of a view" or are you becoming an anchorite?

[Anguirel]

Sort of both. I love my room actually. It's far longer than it looks and it's always dark and forbidding, which makes me feel as if I'm ruling over some medieval hall...sort of serious here...although the walls are covered in Titian posters...so quite Renaissance. (Not to mention Venus of Urbino desktop)

While the view is a bit, ah, austere, the window's also got access to the roof and I can hear anyone coming in by the boy's entrance if I want. If I were to conquer my boarding house, this would be the place to start...

And the housemaster's kitchen is close by for possible raiding.

As Mith pointed out by PM, a painting commemorating my recent murder of Glirdan can be spotted left of the window, ho ho...

[Diamond18]

But Glirdan was not a pheasant. :p

[Anguirel]

Actually I think it's a grouse. Though that's a fairly uneducated guess...not flamboynt enough for a pheasant, too fat for a quail or partridge...

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

Nice photo, Ang. Where did you get your costume, if you don't mind my asking? It looks awesome. I wish there were medieval banquets around where I live, but we don't usually get that kind of thing.

Once my dad gets his roll of film developed, you might actually see some pictures of me...I don't have anything recent at the moment.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

That is one cool outfit, Ang. And, if I may say, you remind me very much of one of the men of ancient times, of the line of Túrin you may well pass for.

[Anguirel]

My dressing up cupboard at home. As you can imagine, I spent my entire childhood as a knight (with occasional interludes of gentleman piracy...).

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Another update done today, June 12th. It looks like this one per month update trend may be the way it ends up going. So, allow at least a month for your picture to show up, depending on when you email it to me.
The good news... we're on to page 3 now!

I may have fun photos to share in a few weeks... I'm going to Toronto to The Gathering of the Fellowship (hopefully... assuming it still goes... which it probably will) and to see the musical! I'm excited!

[narfforc]

Hey Davem, who is Pallando?, I think I have met him..................................

[davem]

Hey Davem, who is Pallando?, I think I have met him..................................

Pallando? I thought it was Gandalf......

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It must have been Elrond The Swindler !

[narfforc]

It can't be Gandalf, the fellow (I presume a male) is dressed in blue?

[Lalwendë]

I think its some kind of Smurf convention. ;)

Which one is the smurf though?


:p

[narfforc]

I am not sure Davem will be happy with you calling him a Smurf Lal, however where did you meet this fellow, was it at a convention, or was he shopping in Asda?

[Brinniel]

Ah, it feels good to be back on the photo page. I feel like I'm part of the BD family again. :)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Pallando? I thought it was Gandalf......
The email you sent in said "DaveM and Pallando"... does this need to be changed to say "Gandalf", then?

[davem]

The email you sent in said "DaveM and Pallando"... does this need to be changed to say "Gandalf", then?

No - Pallando is correct. It was a bit of a joke...... Er, you had to be there :p

[narfforc]

I object to it being called a bit of a joke Davem , that beared chap I believe is The Great U.R.R Jokin, I thought I had seen him before, wasn't that picture taken at Aston University on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary, I knew I knew him, met him loads of times, mad as a March Hare by all accounts, did he bore you silly with his book There or Thereabouts, The Quest of Errorbore and The Halfbit?

[Mattius]

I haven't posted on here for a long time but here's a newish picture of me if you want to replace my old one. Thanks!

http://myspace-606.vo.llnwd.net/00765/60/66/765506606_l.jpg

[Brinniel]

Wow, Mattius. :eek: Long time no see. :)

Btw, nice picture. :cool:

[Balin999]

Ah, it feels good to be back on the photo page. I feel like I'm part of the BD family again. :)

And I have to say, your pic is quite cute ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mattius! Welcome back. Sweet shades.

[Brinniel]

And I have to say, your pic is quite cute

Aww, how nice of you to say so. http://www.xanga.com/Images/blush.gif
I have about a dozen senior pictures like that one getting posted on my family kitchen wall. It's rather awkward to be staring at yourself while eating....

[Balin999]

As long as your other self doesn't speak to you, it's ok :)

[Kath]

*coughNilpLhunacough* :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

This is quite tiresome and for that I apologise, but last time I tried to upload pictures onto this thread they were slightly too big and I have no clue as to how to edit them. Apparently, pics must be under 100KB, but there are some pics bigger than that on this thread.

[Diamond18]

Those images are hosted on different sites (such as photobucket.com) and posted with the IMG tags. Ex: [ img ] http://photobucket.com/blahblahblah/blah [ /img ]

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Thanks everyone. I had no idea. :)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The second one is really to prove that I am, in fact, Scottish and am free to wear a kilt. I would have liked to show you a better picture and I did honestly take about a thousand photographs, but the quality is generally poor (I'm no photographer) and I don't know how to make it better on the computer. The others look quite fuzzy and so I show you this image of a rather shy-looking me.

The first one is really to prove that I have eyes. :D

All these years, and I haven't been lying to you.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well, Eomer, that first picture said only one thing to me. Due to the blur effect and sheer Collin Baker nature of your hair...

Hope you're not offended. :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I don't watch the show, and I don't see the connexion, but I love it all the same! :D

Did I ever tell you you're a genius, Hook?

There is just something about men in kilts. . . :cool: My friends loves to weare them as well. (are they allowed?)

Anyways I have realised that I will probably never get the photo I want. . . Me wearing a chainmail, a viking helmet and holding a viking sword. However these things are expensive, so I might submit a normal photo next week. (after my return from Finland)

[Celuien]

Those pictures are great, Eomer. :)

And Hookbill - :eek:! The resemblance is striking!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Did I ever tell you you're a genius, Hook?

Its just a shame Oxbridge didn't share this view. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Eomer, my dear, *swoon*. Kilt? How wonderful.

[Glirdan]

Well, maybe you can't see the glint in my eyes, but you can definetly see it in his in the first picture!! Nice pics Eomer! :D

[Diamond18]

Ooooh, the long awaited Kilted Scotsman picture! :D And what a yellow room.


I would have liked to show you a better picture and I did honestly take about a thousand photographs, but the quality is generally poor (I'm no photographer) and I don't know how to make it better on the computer.

I scoff. Not only do 99% of my pictures turn out horribly because I'm so photographically inept it's disgusting, but they get worse when I scan them onto the computer (because the scanner is generally old and decrepit, and leaves odd specks and streaks on the image). My photography is way worse than yours. :p

Er, yeah, I'm just complainig because all the pictures I took of the cat didn't turn out, and so all that premium cuteness I thought I was capturing is lost forever. And ever! *sob* But I digress.

My hair is short now. This is, like, big news.

[Kath]

Wow Di, you look exactly like my aunt.

[Diamond18]

Maybe I am your aunt.

[Kath]

Wouldn't that be scary! :eek: :D

Ooh didn't see Eomer's pics. So, we finally get the kilt shot!

[Brinniel]

You're looking pretty good in that kilt, Eomer. :p

If anyone cares to see any other pics of me, I've got an entire three page gallery (http://photo.xanga.com/Brinniel/1/) which I just uploaded a bunch of pictures to. It consists of almost every single good picture of me that exists (which isn't that many), plus some of my furry babies. :)

[Lhunardawen]

I would have liked to show you a better picture and I did honestly take about a thousand photographs, but the quality is generally poor (I'm no photographer) and I don't know how to make it better on the computer. Hahaha...I've reduced my aunt's phone's battery to less than half its full charge before I got that pic I have in the Photo Page, and I can't even say I like it all that much...

But we've seen you in a kilt, big bro, and that's all that matters. :)

[MatthewM]

I sent mine to the e-mail address but didn't get a reply yet

[Diamond18]

I sent mine to the e-mail address but didn't get a reply yet

Tigerlily updates the page about once a month. If you want people to see the picture right away, you could also post it here on the thread as an attachment or link.

[MatthewM]

Thanks for the help :)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I AM alive, I swear!
I just updated, and your photo is there MatthewM!
I never reply when people send their pictures... so just assume that I have it, and then if it doesn't appear in the next update perhaps send me an email and scold me ;)

[narfforc]

And if any dare scold this fair maid I will leap to her defence, for I am Paragon son of Paramount A Lesser Heir of Everdulls son Evenduller, Halfstoned Dulladan and Stranger of the North, bearer of the Shards of Nosteel the Broken Butter-knife that is to be Reforged as a Handrill.

So there............

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Thank you for your valor, narfforc.

Oh, and a random note for all... if you are not easily offended and enjoy Kevin Smith movies... there is a lot of "Rings" humor in Clerks II. I laughed so hard I was crying!

[alatar]

Note that we are not hippies; tie-dye hides just sooo many stains. :D

Thanks Tig.

[narfforc]

Heyyyy, what's wrong with the Hippies man, are you some kinda Hippyphobe, just chill, enjoy the trees and the grass..............................

[alatar]

Sorry, narfforc, no insult intended. Live and let live and all that. :cool: Just being preemptive on a question that I get asked a lot. Want to be clear where I stand on the issue and that the choice of clothing is not only creative, but practical, as stated.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Check it out! My eye looks a bit weird, but at least it's a normal pose. :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Love the celery, Eomer.

[Diamond18]

That's not celery, that's, er, wild heather. Okay, I have no idea what it is, but you say "Scotland" and I think "wild heather." ;)

Nice pic, Aime, though you should know by now that we like the abnormal poses. :p

[narfforc]

We have a quaint custom here in Britain, a serious looking gypsy will approach you demanding ever so nicely money in exchange for a sprig of heather, if you refuse they will curse you and your kin for the next ten generations and slash your tyres. As a matter of interest Eomer do you have any children or drive a vehicle, and how much did that piece of Glen cost?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I don't like children; I don't like vehicles; and I have nothing against gypsies: so I am not at all your average Briton. :p

That little flower cost £4 from a flower shop. My dad was outraged because, you see, back in his day it would have cost not ha'penny. Nevermind the fact that we have heather growing in our garden. It doesn't look very good so we splashed out. Needless to say, it was destroyed by the end of the night. The scant remains are lying on my desk as I type. :(

[Orominuialwen]

I would just like to add that that picture has just made my day. :)

[Lush]

It was wonderful to check up on this page again, so many new faces! And the davem & pallando picture is priceless, particularly the contrast. And Diamond's necklace is hot.

[Lalwendë]

What? Nobody's said anything about sporrans or what Scotsmen wear with their kilts yet?

Oh wait, I just did.

Captain Obvious Lalwende. ;)

[Lush]

Lol

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

OK I have to ask. . .

Daimond, what happened from you first photo to the one you have now? I mean the difference is hughe.

[Diamond18]

Er, well, in the other one I was wearing a wig and other costumey accoutraments.

In the current one, I'm not.

Here's another pic, not much different, but thanks to the wonders of the camera flash, I am about as pale as Skittles.

[Brinniel]

Don't hate me because I'm a freak. ;)

Brinniel + lack of sleep + webcam =

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Well the thing is that I know people who actually looked a bit like you looked in your former photo, so I was quite shocked when I saw the new one.

Even though you are pale in that photo, I think you are very beautiful.
btw I love Skittles

And Briniel, don't worry about it I have alot of those kind of photos too, well just with me instead of you. . . .

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

When I look at the photopage it looks like there is a new photo of Telchar, but when I click on it it's just the same old picture as always.

Explanation ?

I noticed this also. It's a conspirocy!

Anyway... I have a new picture that you may find amusing.

Hookbill Vs Dalek. Who will win?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Most interesting Hookbill

Here is the photo that became runner up in the competition about becoming my photo, on the photopage.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

After a long absence I updated the page with 4 photos that were in my inbox. Rune... I didn't get one from you... can you resend? I'm not sure if the one you posted here is the one you want to use.
