The *new* Barrow Downs photo page!

[Gil-Galad]

i'm debating about whether or not to send an updated picture of moi...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No it is not the one on the page I want to use. . . This is odd indeed I send a photo to psyknife@psy-strike.com September 15.

The wrong e-mail ?

[elronds_daughter]

i'm debating about whether or not to send an updated picture of moi...
You should. Your admirers want to see your face.

[Thinlómien]

i'm debating about whether or not to send an updated picture of moi...Post if you dare... (Or have a good pic of yourself... :rolleyes: I've wanted to update my pic for ages, but no one has managed to take even an "okay" picture of me in the past few years... though, now I need a pic of myself for a school project, so if it's good it might end up on the photo page too...)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Since Tigerlilly is not around, it would be nice if Volo or Doomhamer could tell me if that was the e-mail they send their pictures too or if there is another one that I have missed.

[Volo]

psyknife@psy-strike.com it was.

Since Tigerlilly is not around, it would be nice if Volo or Doomhamer could tell me if that was the e-mail they send their pictures too or if there is another one that I have missed.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It is so weird. . . I can see that I send it from my gmail the 15th. Actually now I think of it, it has happened once or twice that people did not recive my e-mails. E-mails that there are no doubt was send.

I tried to send it again, have you recived it Tigerlilly?

[Brinniel]

I've wanted to update my pic for ages, but no one has managed to take even an "okay" picture of me in the past few years.
I know that feeling. Over the years, it's rare anyone has ever taken a decent picture of me. I was excited to finally do my senior photos last year- professional photographers can make anyone look awesome. Then I got my laptop, which has webcam. You can actually see yourself while take the picture so you know whether you'll look half decent or not. I've been playing with that gadget a lot lately. :rolleyes:

[ninja91]

How can I get my picture on the photo page? I think you all would be impressed at my battle scars.

(because I am a ninja, remember?)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

How can I get my picture on the photo page?

Look at the first post, master 91. It's full of useful information that you will be tested on at the end of the year.


If you have not submitted a picture yet and you would like to, please send it to psyknife@psy-strike.com

[ninja91]

Look at the first post, master 91. It's full of useful information that you will be tested on at the end of the year.

Sorry, Hookbill. Sometimes I make noob mistakes. Kinda like that one!
:D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Sorry, Hookbill. Sometimes I make noob mistakes. Kinda like that one!
:D

Don't let it happen again! :p

I may be sending you a new picture of me soon, Tigerlily. I'm just in the process of thinking of a photoshop situation that will be funny enough. :D

[Volo]

professional photographers can make anyone look awesome.

Except me... The worst pictures ever to be taken with me in them were taken by sc. professionals this year. :rolleyes:

[Gothmog]

I just realised that the robot-look is soooo last year, so I had to change my pic :) This one was taken to show my new haircut to my girlfriend, but I thought it would be good enough for you too! It's not easy taking pictures of yourself using your phone, I promise you...

It's almost scary to see some people for real, your own inner picture of them is totally changed... Like seeing LotR as movies :) Some things are too far from your own view of them...

[Brinniel]

The worst pictures ever to be taken with me in them were taken by sc. professionals this year.
Were they paid well enough? :p

I've always had issues with professionals when it came to my school pictures. The problem is they don't have time and you don't really pay them, so it's one click and you're done. It might even turn out better if a monkey were to take your picture. :rolleyes:

I endured twelve years of the horrifying "you only get one shot, so make it your best" school picture system. I consider my senior year the first time I faced a real photographer. Two to three hours with one of those guys and something's got to turn out good. Of course, professionals are expensive and only used for special occasions (unless your a model or actor). I know I won't be seeing one until my sister's wedding....

[Volo]

Umm... Is it just me or does the page not really work... It wants a password when I press the link and the chat-thing doesn't work.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I've just sent off a new picture for the Photo page. I hope you all like the photo editing I've done. I would have done something more extravagant and complex but... I couldn't be bothered. :p

For those who can't get the page to work, I'll post it here also...

[narfforc]

Hey Hooky give that troll a good hammering, he's trashed your bedroom and ripped your posters of the wall.

Ugh! those smelly undergarments under the bed don't belong to him do they?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hey Hooky give that troll a good hammering, he's trashed your bedroom and ripped your posters of the wall.

Ugh! those smelly undergarments under the bed don't belong to him do they?

Yes, well. The poster is usually on my door but its being re-painted and so I had to move it. I couldn't be bothered putting it up properly and didn't notice it was in the picture until it was too late. Oh well.
With the redecorating my room is in a bit of a mess, but I just got a new camera today so I wanted to try it out regardless. :D

[Volo]

Hmm... good pic Hookbill, but personally I like your old one more. :)

[Thinlómien]

My sister managed to take an okay pic of me, but it was so blurry that I had to photoshop it almost unrecognisable before it looked decent enough. Anyway, here it is.

[Diamond18]

I like it Lommy, it's artistic.

And here's just what the world needs, another picture of me. I had the urge the other day to take a picture with headphones, as that's what I'm generally wearing when I'm on the computer. ;)

Headphones (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/Headphones.jpg)

[Thinlómien]

Diamond, I've always wondered how can one have such eyebrows as yours.

[Diamond18]

By washing my face in the blood of virgins.

Heh. Actually, what do you mean? I wasn't aware that they were special.

[Saurreg]

Alatar's little cherubs are just adorable. :)

[Lalwendë]

My sister managed to take an okay pic of me, but it was so blurry that I had to photoshop it almost unrecognisable before it looked decent enough. Anyway, here it is.

That's pretty cool picture, you look like a singer from the 60s. Maybe a folk singer?

Hookbill - is that the woman from McCalls/McColls/Martins in your picture, giving you some lip for daring to enter the shop and trouble her with wanting to buy a newspaper? It certainly reminds me of her... :eek:

[Thinlómien]

Heh. Actually, what do you mean? I wasn't aware that they were special.You have cool eyebrows.

[Kath]

Di, why aren't you blonde! I know you're not, but somehow it always seems like you should be.

[Mithalwen]

Di, why aren't you blonde! I know you're not, but somehow it always seems like you should be.

Perhaps because if you tell fortunes with ordinary playing cards (light) blondes are usually represented by diamonds. Diamond herself seems to be more of a club type , possibly a heart depending on eye colour.... or you may have read Jostein Gaarder's Solitaire Mystery which uses these associations .... it is a fabulous book btw and I found it easier going than Sophies World...

[Volo]

Am I the only nasty one to think that Lommy's new picture isn't great? :p Her old one is waaay better.

[Mithalwen]

In her other one she looks sweet, this is moodier more dramatic and sophisticated. ANd as for a singer ...shades of a young Juliette Greco methinks.... though Lommy is prettier..

[Thinlómien]

Am I the only nasty one to think that Lommy's new picture isn't great? Her old one is waaay better.I know it's only because the newer one includes a penguin...

ANd as for a singer ...shades of a young Juliette Greco methinks.... though Lommy is prettier..Why, thank you. :) I googled Juliette Greco, and in my opinion she (http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/allposters/mmph/174850_rt.jpg)'s really pretty.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hookbill - is that the woman from McCalls/McColls/Martins in your picture, giving you some lip for daring to enter the shop and trouble her with wanting to buy a newspaper? It certainly reminds me of her... :eek:

Yes, I think it is. She doesnt work there anymore, however. It's now populated by teenagers who stare blankly into space whenever the alarm goes off signaling that someone has just left the store without paying for something. :rolleyes:

Di, I like the headphones pic. The expression on your face is exactly how I imagine Skittles in ATMII. :p

[Lalwendë]

Yes, I think it is. She doesnt work there anymore, however. It's now populated by teenagers who stare blankly into space whenever the alarm goes off signaling that someone has just left the store without paying for something. :rolleyes:


Maybe they wouldn't be so rude if all you wanted to do was to get your latest issue of Smash Hits though (80s era). Oooh, I'll never forget that woman! I'm scarred for life!

In her other one she looks sweet, this is moodier more dramatic and sophisticated. ANd as for a singer ...shades of a young Juliette Greco methinks.... though Lommy is prettier..

Now I know why I said 'folk singer' - there is this (http://www.slipcue.com/music/international/celtic/artists/briggs.html) well-known picture of singer Anne Briggs (as far as Anne Briggs is known, I bet nobody else here knows who she is ;)) that's in a similar style!

[Durelin]

I hadn't checked that page in a while!

TORE - Love the sideburns. :p

Fea - Love the hat!

[Nogrod]

I have been able to evade all the cameras for the last ten years or something - at least any digital ones. But here's a very shady picture of me in a party last year... It really is bad... :(

I hope I can come with something better soon.

[Volo]

I know it's only because the newer one includes a penguin...

It does? :rolleyes:

[Thinlómien]

It does? :rolleyes:What did you think the thing on the right is, if not a penguin? (I admit the picture's a bit shady, but... well, at least it fits my PT :D ...)

[Kath]

Well it's not a bad picture Noggie, you just look rather ... startled. :D

[Saurreg]

IMO it's more of a "Oooh! There's beer in the fridge!" look.

At least, that's what I would look like if there was ice cold beer in my fridge now...

[Thinlómien]

IMO it's more of a "Oooh! There's beer in the fridge!" look.Haha, not that unprobable scenario... ;)

I thing the problem with the pic is that it's a bit shady... :)

[Mattius]

Ok ok ok ok I finally found a picture of myself I am happy with (I messed about with the colour and stuff so you can't see my bad skin).

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i175/Mpage2396890/matt.jpg

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

What is this thing about passwords on the photopage? Have i missed some info or is it only me that is expiriencing it?

The reason for my photo not being up is that gmail for some reason refused to deliver it to Tigerlilly, anyways she has it now and it should be in the next update.

[Mattius]

Do I have to email it to Tigerlilly? Can you not just take the picture I posted a couple of messages ago?

[Diamond18]

If you want it up on Tigerlily's site you have to email it to her.

[Lhunardawen]

What is this thing about passwords on the photopage? Have i missed some info or is it only me that is expiriencing it?


Yay. I didn't ask about this right away because I thought maybe I'm the only one having this problem.

[Thinlómien]

It asks a password from me too, but I just closed the wondow and it was normal, except the comments did not show. (The comment screen demanded a password...)

[Balin999]

same here

Can you explain, Tigerlily?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Try hitting cancel when you get prompted.

[The Only Real Estel]

It asks a password from me too, but I just closed the wondow and it was normal, except the comments did not show. (The comment screen demanded a password...)

Quite. Which is somewhat annoying since I love the chatboard. :D Oh well...

[ninja91]

I have sent my photo to Tigerlily , and hopefully she received it. It is a semi-cool one, with me at around the 2-mile-mark leading one of my teammates and a kid from North Farmington in our duel meet against them earlier in October. We did not have much trouble beating them, either... ;)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Ok, I had to remove the Tagboard from the photo page, because for some reason it was causing that password prompting. Deleting the tag board seems to have taken care of the problem.
Please inform me if you run into problems again. I have no clue how long this issue has been going on... I just got a message from littlemanpoet today about it. Sorry... stupid Tagboard!

I do have about 3 photos in my inbox. I should have time this week to get them up... work has been very very busy lately. Thanks for your patience :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Although I am sad the tag-board is gone, I am happy that the problems has been dealt with. I normaly looked on the Photopage quite often, but that password thing made me stop doing that.

Anyways thanks for taking care of things Tigerlily.

[ninja91]

I do have about 3 photos in my inbox. I should have time this week to get them up... work has been very very busy lately. Thanks for your patience :)

Including mine! :D :D

[Rikae]

I've seen less than half of you half as much as I should like, and I didn't expect half of you were half as good looking as you really are.

I'm sending my photo, just to be presumptuous. :p

[Estelyn Telcontar]

I've sent Tigerlily a new picture of me, taken at the Hobbiton movie site in Matamata, New Zealand on my recent trip there. Sorry, but it was too cold and windy for costumes... ;)

[Gil-Galad]

because of great demand, i'll be sending a new pic as soon as i get it

[mormegil]

Okay I will post it here and hope that Tigerlilly gets it for her page. I'm not in love with this picture but it's the most recent I have of the family...maybe I'll get some for Christmas. This picture is a couple months old already.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/The_Mormegil/PICT0276.jpg

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Beautiful wife and children you have there Mormegil, you look kind of scary though. . . ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

morm, your kids are basically adorable.

the end.

[narfforc]

Mormegil you are surely blessed by Eru

[Kath]

Gorgeous kids morm. :)

[the phantom]

Awww.... Such a lovely family.

Little do they know that their picture has been hijacked by some monkey named morm.

:p

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Thank you all for your patience! Updated with a bunch of new photos today!

[Valier]

Watch out Rune!!!! There's a monster behind you!!!!! ;) :p

[Lalaith]

Nice pics, everyone.
Looking through them again, I am convinced Gothmog and Valesse must be related. They are looking at the camera in exactly the same way.

[alatar]

Cool picture, Esty. That structure in which you stand seems oddly familiar...;)

And nice family portrait, mormegil. Did you have to use staples and glue (to keep your children in the picture) as well?

Thanks to Tigerlily Gamgee for maintaining the site.

[Farael]

Just wait Alatar.... if your girls (you have two girls, right?) are anything like my sister, in a few years time you'll have to STOP them from taking pictures. Of course, you probably won't be featured in any of those, for they will much rather take pictures of their friends, and if nothing else, themselves.

But I just HAVE to say that Morm is a lucky fellow... your family looks great in the picture. How old is the lil' one? she reminds me of my baby cousin, who is no longer so much of a baby.

[alatar]

you have two girls, right?
Three. :rolleyes:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Rune, I hope you don't mind if I borrow (read: steal) that picture for an upcoming edition of The Downer. :D

[mormegil]

She is 3 at the time and that was about 5 months and the other is now 1.

[JennyHallu]

He's teasing. That little one with the hair issues is morm. The tall one helps the little one type.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

That is quite alright Hookie. . .

Actually I am sitting infront of the entrance to a Barrow on this picture. . .very fitting, don't you think?

[Holbytlass]

That's you, Rune?! I pictured you with dark hair. But then I always picture people with dark hair :D. Glad to see the updates of anticipated ones *coughMorm* and some great updated surprises, also new faces!!

Thanks for your hard work, Tigerlilly!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Indeed that is me. . .well my hair has grown darker as it does each winter, so maybe I look more like you pictured me now.

[Nimrodel_9]

Why it's mormegil, my fellow Utahn! You have beautiful kids! :D

Well, I finally sent mine in. I hope I did it right.... I need to learn to be smarter than the computer.... :rolleyes:

Nimmy :D

[Beleg Cuthalion]

After much deliberation I have finally decided to submit a pic of myself for the photo page (not that anyone is probably interested :p ) So with out further ado



Me

[Beleg Cuthalion]

44 views... Ok let's be honest people, how many of you spent more then 5 seconds staring at my size 13’s, trying to discover the man behind the…… Hmmm…err...behind the...?.....well behind something!

~Beleg :p

[Alkanoonion]

Some great pictures here, I will have to see if I can get my hands on my sister’s camera so that I can send a more recent photo of myself. Beleg that picture reminds me of Burt from sesame street ;) www.muppetcentral.com/news/2003/120903.shtml

[High King Fingolfin]

I'm just too lazy to send one in. Then again I suppose I could just have Oro send one in for me, but I'm too lazy to do that either. Also, the masses would faint in shock at exactly how geeky and/or stuck up I can look.

[Orominuialwen]

I'm just too lazy to send one in. Then again I suppose I could just have Oro send one in for me, but I'm too lazy to do that either. Also, the masses would faint in shock at exactly how geeky and/or stuck up I can look.
Or how young he is. :p HKF is three years my junior, and I'm not particularly old myself. You just know that since he's said this, I have to scan his school picture and send it in. I should also post the picture we had taken with our mom dressed in hobbit costume three years ago, just so you can see how much we all look like Shire-folk. ;)

[Brinniel]

Well, HKF's appearance may not be a complete mystery. I believe I might have seen a picture of him through Oro's Facebook. :p

I should also post the picture we had taken with our mom dressed in hobbit costume three years ago, just so you can see how much we all look like Shire-folk.
Indeed, from the pictures I've seen, the two of you do look very hobbitish...

[High King Fingolfin]

The hobbit-pictures aren't actually very old, but I look completely different in them from how I do now. I don't look nearly so hobbitish as I did. When I was younger I looked like a cross between Elijah Wood and Paul McCartney.

Oro always has to do things like this to me. :rolleyes:

[Brinniel]

After looking at it over and over again, I've come to the conclusion that Cailín (http://www.psy-strike.com/cailin.jpg) shockingly resembles Scarlett Johansson (http://www.filmweb.no/bilder/multimedia/archive/00020/Scarlett_Johansson_i_20031c.jpg). :cool:

[Valier]

Tigerlily can you please take down my old picture and replace it with this new one.
It is Naria on the left and Valier on the right.

When we first started on the Downs we decided on our first deathday that we would send in a photo of us together, and so we did. Enjoy :p :D

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.

[Thinlómien]

You're both very pretty... and Valier, you look just like your dancing kitten avvie! :p :D

[littlemanpoet]

After looking at it over and over again, I've come to the conclusion that Cailín (http://www.psy-strike.com/cailin.jpg) shockingly resembles Scarlett Johansson (http://www.filmweb.no/bilder/multimedia/archive/00020/Scarlett_Johansson_i_20031c.jpg). :cool:
Except that Cailín is prettier. ;)

[Valier]

You're both very pretty... and Valier, you look just like your dancing kitten avvie!

Why thank you!! And I'm not sure if looking like a hairy little dancing kitty is a good thing or bad. :p

[Naria]

Awww you're a sweety Lommy, thank you. You have no idea though, how many shots we took to get that one good picture :eek: we either looked possessed(with evil smiles) or blurry and possessed :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

You are lying Naria. . . I have seen some of those photos and for some reason you always looked good, Val on the other hand often looked possessed ;)

[Maikadilwen]

After looking at it over and over again, I've come to the conclusion that Cailín shockingly resembles Scarlett Johansson. :cool:

Now, that would be an insult to Cailín if you ask me... :eek:

Some pictures were taken the other day, on my birthday, maybe there's one that actually looks "normal" enough to show. (Normal meaning less like the wicked witch or evil stepmother type...oh, that's right. I am an evil stepmother... :D )

[Brinniel]

Ah, well I meant it as a compliment since Scarlett as always been considered by many as one of the most beautiful of actresses.

But of course, Cailin is much prettier. :)

[Cailín]

And I agree with you, Brinniel, so I shall take it as a compliment. :)

Though I don't think I really look anything like her.

[Galadel Vinorel]

This is awesome, Tigerlily!

Good job! :)

[Thinlómien]

Why thank you!! And I'm not sure if looking like a hairy little dancing kitty is a good thing or bad. :pWell, at least I didn't find you resembling your current avvie... :p ;)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Beleg that picture reminds me of Burt from sesame street ;) www.muppetcentral.com/news/2003/120903.shtml

Burt huh? Wow I'm honored. :p

[Roa_Aoife]

Is Tigerlily still updating the page? I'd like to post a new picture myself.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I belive so

[Oddwen]

When I did WW XXIIX, I must confess to looking at all the players' pictures to try to get some ideas for killing them (don't worry...the game is over. I know it's over.), and while viewing Lommy's picture, I discovered that she doesn't have pink hair. It's a sunbeam of some sort.

Just...wow, Lommy. I had always pictured you with pink hair.

[Durelin]

I keep meaning to mention this...

Saucey looks an awful lot like my dad in his picture. Well, my dad about...fifteen years ago... :D

[The Saucepan Man]

Saucey looks an awful lot like my dad in his picture. Well, my dad about...fifteen years ago...Well, that one's about three years old now.

I would update it if I had any decent recent photos of myself.

Although there is this one (http://photo.xanga.com/The_Saucepan_Man/0dbde99280131/photo.html) ... :eek: :D

[Durelin]

Brilliant!

You are undoubtedly the British version of my dad. :p

[Thinlómien]

Just...wow, Lommy. I had always pictured you with pink hair. :eek: The red-orange-pink (whatever you wish to call it) stripe at my hair is some problem there was with developing the film. In real life I have brown hair.

And I really should send in a new pic, that one must be four or five years old...

[Volo]

And I really should send in a new pic, that one must be four or five years old...
Why? You look exactly the same now... :p

[Thinlómien]

Why? You look exactly the same now... :p
I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult... to have look like you looked when you were twelve or thirteen... :eek:

"Why?" Because I disagree with you Volo, I think I look different. *shrugs* At least I have longer hair! :p

[HerenIstarion]

Talking about updates, and since there are more of me about now, I would be glad to have mine updated too :)

http://www.geocities.com/gl_century/childpics/DSC01572.jpg

[Hookbill the Goomba]

The baby looks a little shocked or horrified... Good gracious me! He or she hasn't just seen Gandalf the Grey... uncloaked? :eek:
Or maybe, Mount Zoom is about to run over the picture taker. :D

[Roa_Aoife]

I like your hair.

Also, I am always amused by how small children look when their bundled up for cold weather. :D

[HerenIstarion]

The baby looks a little shocked or horrified... Good gracious me! He or she hasn't just seen Gandalf the Grey... uncloaked? :eek:
Or maybe, Mount Zoom is about to run over the picture taker. :D

He.

First time out of town, H-I Junior goggled on everything around (lots of birds and some squirrels, frozen-through lake and small airplane circling it for good part of an hour to top the bunch of things new and unforeseen and unexpected for the whole 'town-life' before)

Bunlded re: some ten minutes to put all the clothes on, some ten more to take all them off when back home :)

[Volo]

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult... to have look like you looked when you were twelve or thirteen...

"Why?" Because I disagree with you Volo, I think I look different. *shrugs* At least I have longer hair!

Think of that (and all other I say) as a compliment, as pretty much everything I say can also be understood as an insult. (I myself usually decide what I mean after I say it. :rolleyes: :( )

Well, I we can't see the length of your hair in that picture.

[Lalaith]

H-I -
Bad dad! you forgot the mittens! ;)

But seriously. Your offspring is adorable.

[ninja91]

Yay! A new pic! I am on the right, my chum is on the left.

Just about the only pic I like with me in it.... ;)

[Nimrodel_9]

Hmm... Tigerlily hasn't made any updates yet. I'm curious to see if my pic got through. I'm not the best with computers. :p
It's so much fun to see everyone! :D

[Mänwe]

Aye, I sent one through too. Faces to names certainly makes it more easy to dislike or like that name! :p

[Anguirel]

I'll send this to Tigerlily anon. This picture is notable for two reasons...I'm about to cut my 18th birthday cake, and I'm in the bizarre uniform of my school, Eton...

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j267/Minocher/DSC00460.jpg

Point and laugh. What on earth am I doing with my face?

[Mithalwen]

Preparing it to eat a lot of cake, perchance? I think the uniform is fab... but a bit low key after the King of France get up?

The leopard is adorable...

[Roa_Aoife]

It seems Tigerlily hasn't been around since the beginning of November. I hope everything's alright on that end. I'll post my new photo here. This is from my wedding.

[Nogrod]

The Ice-Queen indeed! :eek:

:D

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I'm soooo sorry for my absence. I've had a lot going on in life and am still trying to catch up.
I've been earning various fitness related certifications and have been attending workshops for others. Then I got quite ill, and then my grandmother passed away.

I'm still trying to catch up with everything.

I have pictures in my inbox and hopefully I'll get to them soon.

So sorry for the delay.

[Roa_Aoife]

The Ice-Queen indeed!


You know, the Snow Queen is my favorite fairy tale.

And we both know that I'm far too hotheaded for that. ;)


Happy to have you back, Tigerlily, though I curse your timing. Copuldn't you have made it before I posted my pic here? :p :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yeah it is a good fairy tale. . ."Snedronningen" runs in cartoon version on Danish telly every winter.

Are you allways that pale?

[Roa_Aoife]

Are you always that pale?

I have two shades: sheet and lobster, which is the color I turn during the summer when I go to the beach.

I saw a t-shirt that summed it up once. "Warning: Authentic Redhead. Keep out of direct sunlight."

[Durelin]

Ang, I feel like I need to give you an eye-patch, nastier looking teeth, a little less dapper outfit, and a little speech bubble reading "Yarr." Oh, and the glasses just have to go if we're going to do this right.

Then I'll be very afraid.

[Thinlómien]

Yay, new nice pics! (Though, no offense Ang and Roa, HI's baby/toddler is still the most adorable... :p)

Durelin - that comment combined with that avvie is something so funny! :D I mean it looks like: (in a slightly sarcastic voice) "Oh my God, this is hopeless, does he think that's scary, he could put a little more effort..."
;)

Roa, you really do look like the Snow Queen... or a porcelain angel... or a vampire... or some heroine from Jane Austen's books... whichever you prefer!

My sister has promised to take a nice family pic of me and Noggie to be put on the photo page... so that might (or might not) end up here some day...

[Macalaure]

I feel the need to advise you to be careful once Tigerlily has updated the page: A picture of me will linger there from then on.

Photos make me look even worse than reality already does. :rolleyes:

Just thought I should warn you.

[Mithalwen]

I have two shades: sheet and lobster, which is the color I turn during the summer when I go to the beach.

I saw a t-shirt that summed it up once. "Warning: Authentic Redhead. Keep out of direct sunlight."


That is very good...... reminds me of when I showed my graduation photos to an older colleague who was a real pukka mem-sahib type and she said approvingly "oh you wore white gloves!" ..noooo those are my hands..... and I was merely "almost titian" (ie a bit ginger :p ).

[Lalwendë]

Strawberry Blonde then? :p That phrase always used to make me laugh, as it was always used by people loathe to admit they were well, a bit ginger...

Me and sun do not mix - my skin goes red, falls off and is then white once again. Whereas my father used to be out all day gardening with no shirt on and weirdly go neither brown nor red.

Anguirel - I shall hold myself back from making some 'witty' Cameron-related jokes or remarks... :D

[Lalaith]

I am impressed by how lovely you look in a low angle shot, Roa.
Only the young and highly attractive can carry that off....
(I remember forcing some poor photographer to hover over me on a tall chair in an attempt to look half-decent for a picture...)

Ang the cake-killer....do you have a thing for Lampedusa?

[Roa_Aoife]

Thanks for all your compliments! :blush: Keep in mind, though, that I looked extra pretty for my wedding. Normally I'm less "done up." I clean up good, though. :D

[Mithalwen]

Yes that's it. It is something that clearly skipped a generation since my parents could tan a bit , but my grannie had celtic skin and I got the premature grey gene from her too :(. I gave up trying to tan after a lot of freckles and some horrific sunburn and so have been a devotee of big hats and high factor for years. One advantage is that you spare yourself the ageing effects of the sun - and joy of joys I have found fake tan that isn't orange so can go barelegged in the summer

It does seem that a disproportionate number of us are "pale and interesting" - I wonder if it is because a tan was seen as desirable in RL but pale skin is regarded so positivesly in ME ? ;)

[Orominuialwen]

I too am extremely pale with lots of freckles and reddish-brown hair. My brother (HKF) is also quite pale, but less freckly and with brown hair that's so dark it's nearly black. We get it from our mom, who's a very pale and freckled redhead.

[Gil-Galad]

i've been meaning to give Holby a new picture so you downers can finnally see the real superman... sometime soon perhaps... if i get a picture i like...

[Lalaith]

Oh, yay, an updated photo page! You're all so cute!


Guinevere's eyes are an amazing colour.

[The Might]

Interesting...Guinevere is wearing the one ring, and is still visible...there is only one explanation..she must be Tom Bombadil! :D

[The Only Real Estel]

I've said it before, but I really love this photo page because I enjoy looking over them & being able to but a screename with a face. And as the pics update or new ones are added my memory hopefully updates with it, lol.

I should prolly send in another of me though...to give myself a more accurate representation. :D

[Thinlómien]

Great! :D

Some of you look just the way I imagined you'd look, some don't, but everyone has great pics. Why are you all so photogenic?

[The Might]

Me? Photogenic?
Except that one I probably only have 3 or 4 more good pics.
The rest of them have me talking, looking strange, having my eyes closed, coughing, yawning, etc. :D

[Mithalwen]

Is it my imagination or has Ang been cloned?

[Volo]

He has, obviously Tigerlily changed Ang's preveous picture and added the same picture as a new one. Or then the adress of Ang's old and new pictures is the same and the new one went on top of the old one. But whatever the case, please bring Ang's old picture back as well!

[Brinniel]

Hmm...I believe wilwarin has two pictures up as well...

Yay for new photos! I alway enjoy to see the faces of BDers. :)

I need to find a decent picture to replace my old one. Unfortunately, all my best pictures happen to be my senior photos....which are now a year and a half old. :eek:

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Wilwa looks like Jennifer Connolly.

Labyrinth, what a film.

[Volo]

Hmm...I believe wilwarin has two pictures up as well... Yeh, but two different pics, so that's fine.

[Mithalwen]

I need to find a decent picture to replace my old one. Unfortunately, all my best pictures happen to be my senior photos....which are now a year and a half old. :eek:

All my best photos are a great deal older than than that, dear ;) In truth my best photos are when I am the photographer ..... :p

[Mattius]

Hmmm, just looked at my picture and its quite old and sepia. Perhaps an updated one is called for.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yeh, but two different pics, so that's fine.I think it will get confusing if old photos are never deleted when new ones are submitted.

[Mänwe]

Oo yes, new pictures. Anguirel is up twice. :) And Lommy, you say everyone else is photgenic, can you honestly say to us yours is an awful pic? :p

And Mac, you remind me of Peter Forsberg..

And CaptainofDespair looks like a friend of mine who has recently been ordained..

[Thinlómien]

Lommy, you say everyone else is photgenic, can you honestly say to us yours is an awful pic? :pWhy, thank you and no I can't say that - that's the only decent picture of me in ages. The only problem is that it's five or four years old - so I'm 12 or 13 in it. :eek: (It wasn't that old when I joined and submitted it... :rolleyes: )

Actually my sister took an almost decent photo of me on my birthday (a few weeks ago) so it might end up here some time...

[Volo]

Actually my sister took an almost decent photo of me on my birthday (a few weeks ago) so it might end up here some time...
Now that is too old! :p

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I've fixed the duplicates...

Just a note for the future... if you are sending me an update photo, please tell me that's what it is. Otherwise I'll think it's your first submission (because my memory doesn't always serve me nor do I always have time to look up who has submitted and who hasn't)... this should help eliminate the issue of duplications.

Also, if you could keep update photos at a minimum that would be most helpful, as my time is quite short lately.

Thanks :)

[Bêthberry]

Well, surprise of all surprises, Bethberry finally sent in a picture to Tigerlily, last night. With family pictures from seven ages of Middle-earth, it's taken a long time to choose!

I wish I had pictures of me with Tom and Goldberry in their early years, but they were lost in the bonfire. :(

[alatar]

Well, surprise of all surprises, Bethberry finally sent in a picture to Tigerlily, last night.
:eek:

alatar is speechless...

[Bêthberry]

:eek:

alatar is speechless...


Hard to imagine! :D This must be what you mean by " 'serious' ". ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You know, it's funny, looking at my picture. It's only about a year old, but it's so... inaccurate...

[Nogrod]

And Mac, you remind me of Peter Forsberg..I'm not sure about Peter Forsberg, but you really managed to surprise me Macalaure! Good looks my friend, nicely defying stereotypical looks of a net-addict! ... Not that it'd be so important in the first place, but it helps a lot in the other (real) life... :)

[alatar]

Hard to imagine! :D This must be what you mean by " 'serious' ". ;)
Sometimes the best things are left unsaid.

I'm just waiting in anxious anticipation so that I can have a picture to go with my dictionary's entry of 'Bah!'

[The Only Real Estel]

You know, it's funny, looking at my picture. It's only about a year old, but it's so... inaccurate...

You took the words right out of my mouth. About myself though, not you. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You took the words right out of my mouth. About myself though, not you. :pSee, thing is, about a week after that shot was taken, I cut my hair short. It grew to about chin length over the summer and then I cut it boyishly short. I occasionally wore it in a faux-hawk. I changed the style but kept it short, so it was boyishly short and messy up until about a week ago when I buzzed it off in a dorm bathroom with a friend. I do still have the hat... And the ink on my hand. I guess it's not that out of date. ;)

[the guy who be short]

Hehe, Mac has a goatee! I will never trust him again.

[Macalaure]

I'm not sure about Peter Forsberg, but you really managed to surprise me Macalaure! Good looks my friend, nicely defying stereotypical looks of a net-addict! ... Not that it'd be so important in the first place, but it helps a lot in the other (real) life... :)
Well, thank you! :)
I doubt, though, that my appearance has ever helped me in any way, so far.

Hehe, Mac has a goatee! I will never trust him again.
I see that you haven't yet played werewolf with me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have trusted me in the first place. :p


Btw, I'd like to say that Eomer looks a lot like the best (RL-) friend of mine and elronds_daughter looks much like one of my cousins.

[Thinlómien]

Now, here's a bit newer pic of me... :)

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i55/Thinlomien/hemunkuvat006pieni.jpg

[alatar]

Thinlómien, so you don't have orangish hair, nor suffer from some penguin-induced pixelation disorder? ;)

That's a relief.

[Thinlómien]

Thinlómien, so you don't have orangish hair, nor suffer from some penguin-induced pixelation disorder? ;)

That's a relief.
Haha, no. :D The orangish in my hair in the old pic is actually some error with light that has occured while developing the film. I didn't mind it anyway, since redheads are cool... :p

[Lalaith]

Lommy, you look like a friendlier version of your avatar. :)

[Thinlómien]

Lommy, you look like a friendlier version of your avatar. :)Why, thank you. :) Now you got me wondering if you look like a friendlier version of your avatar.... *hint* ;) (Though Bianca's quite friendly so you should be super-friendly -looking I guess...)

[Amanaduial the archer]

Anguirel's somewhat scares me...although I do still love your uniform ;)
x

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

:)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Eomer; expect to see that picture respectfully* edited and changed for future Newspaper stories. I can see it now: "Eomer and Cailín burn down old man" :p

*Feel free to replace 'respectfully' with 'mercilessly' or 'grotuetously'

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I look forward to that. :D

[Thinlómien]

Eomer, that's a lovely pic. You both look so nice and sympathic. :)

[the guy who be short]

Look! Look! Eomer makes a Dutch person look short! Surely that should be a headline?

Eomer's head is the same shape as mine.

Yes, yes, they are cute. I was getting there...

[Rikae]

Heren, do you know kung fu? :D
Mac, why the annoyed expression? And stop it with that "look even worse than real life...blah blah blah", you know you look good. :p
I wonder when Nogrod will reveal himself?

I passionately hate my old picture, so here's another, for which my hatred is slightly less intense (though I still hate it). I'm blonde, not redheaded - it's the lighting (the same mischevious lighting that had it's way with Lommy's hair, no doubt!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/maiaminna/green250.jpg

[littlemanpoet]

Okay, how do you do that - - - putting a picture actually in the post body?

I know how to make an attachment, but that other stuff..... ????

[Rikae]

Click on the little yellow and gray postcard above the window, and put the url in there.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

That photo is all wrong LMP. . .you look way to skinny for how I picture you.

[littlemanpoet]

:D So I'm fat in your imagination? Great!

Oh well, the pic is not a url but a home file. Sigh. Thanks anyway. :)

[Brinniel]

I wonder when Nogrod will reveal himself?
I believe he already has...

Yeah, here it is (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=493978&postcount=787).

Though I declare that a photo of him and Lommy together still needs to be posted on this thread. :p

Since everyone's posting photos, here's a more recent one of me, I guess.

(I wanted to post a photoshopped one, but decided I should give you guys a more accurate depiction of me :rolleyes: )

[Thinlómien]

Though I declare that a photo of him and Lommy together still needs to be posted on this thread. :pIt will be taken when my little sister finally gives up and joins the 'downs so we can have a nice family portrait of the three of us... ;)

[Macalaure]

Mac, why the annoyed expression? And stop it with that "look even worse than real life...blah blah blah", you know you look good. :p
Thanks for the compliment! :)

I will still insist on not being really good-looking, I'm sorry. :p

When I decided to finally put a picture on here, I took a lot of photos of myself and in the end the annoyed one was simply the only one which I judged to be remotely passable (you honestly don't want to see the others). I always look stupid when I'm smiling on photos.

[Rikae]

I will still insist on not being really good-looking, I'm sorry. :p
Did I say "really"? :p

[Macalaure]

Did I say "really"? :p

Impudence! :D

[Lhunardawen]

Eomer and Cailin-- *gushes*

[Diamond18]

Eomer and Cailin-- *gushes*

They're just painfully cute. In fact, I think I'm developing a bruise. :p

Here's a newer picture of me. Maybe I'll send it to Tigerlily for the website. I haven't decided yet, though.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/sarahlitarose/26March2007.jpg

[The Might]

I like the necklace, makes me think of Arwen's Star

[Anguirel]

Let's see if this works...me in Delhi, in, ah, local costume...

http://photos-322.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v78/119/83/528841075/n528841075_47322_7689.jpg

[Mithalwen]

That fabric is gorgeous ..... and the woodwork in the background is rather fab too...

[Nogrod]

I sent this to Tigerlily but I thought I might share it with you in here as well as one never knows how often she will update the pages and what she will edit out of it (it's a good thing if she edits parts of it to be sure)...

So finally I found a picture of me in an electronic format that is not dark as a night... :D This is from Tartu (Estonia) last spring. The woman on the left is the teacher of Russian and French in our school and Lommy's homeroom teacher... :)

[Nogrod]

... and I'm having quite a terrible hangover. That's easy to spot... :D

[Thinlómien]

(He normally looks less scary and smiles more... ;))

[Macalaure]

Except the long hair, Nogrod has a shocking resemblance to my former sports and history teacher on that picture. :eek:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I see that Anguirel is looking a little less murderous in this picture. ;) :p

Nogrod, it looks like your part of some kind of heist! :eek:

[Mithalwen]

I see that Anguirel is looking a little less murderous in this picture. ;) :p



But he does have cutlery to hand so one would approach with caution....

[Lalwendë]

Hmmm...

lmp does not look like Bill Bryson at all in this new picture. I see he may have been insulted...

Nogrod looks as though he ought to be in Metallica.

I like Anguirel's hair - it's very nice indeed. ;) Of course he has good taste as those specs are a bit like mine...I favour the more dark, masculine frames when I wear specs.

[Durelin]

Nogrod looks as though he ought to be in Metallica.

You totally read my mind.

Though actually I was thinking more like Iron Maiden or, more suitably, a good Finnish metal band...true metal, not grown men who "rock out" with Avril Lavigne....*shudders*.....

:smokin:

And I'd just like to say that so many of you all have such a lovely sense of fashion. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I know you can't see my shaved head and all due to the same hat I was wearing a year ago in the pic on our lovely Tig's photo page, but picture update...

We had a spontaneous photo adventure in the art studio last night. This shot was taken of me dancing, no music necessary. Ignoring the photographer. Welcome to my world.

Though I use quite a lot of black. But there's normally some bright red or even yellow to counter it. :)


That pic looks great Fea! And it looks an art studio as well... :cool:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Look, spawn, they got to post a couple's photo first!

Curses! :D

(Seriously, you look cute together.)

Heh, cute.

Shush. I thought you were dead.

I thought you were dead.

Nice picture.

[Roa_Aoife]

Curses! Nogrod's hair is longer than mine! *rushes off to grow hair to hip length*

Fea, your artistry is truly astounding sometimes.


Also, because it's available and someone suggested it, here are my wedding pictures (http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/slideshow.jsp?auto=0&aid=768a5498cf4751c97a28) .

[The Only Real Estel]

Hmm. Well I don't have the time to put a more recent picture up in the thread any other way so I'll just attach one..

Gotta love pictures being taken while you're playing video games. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea, your artistry is truly astounding sometimes.Thank you, but I give my friend full credit. We had two cameras and one model. By the end of the night, they'd convinced me to model instead while they played with light and angles, we'd filled two memory cards, and a few gems like this one showed up. I'm toying with resurrecting my deviantart account to post shots ranging from landscapes to artistic nudes. We're prolific and not half bad. But like I said, credit for this shot goes to K. I didn't even know she was taking pictures at the time.

[Nogrod]

Curses! Nogrod's hair is longer than mine! *rushes off to grow hair to hip length*

Also, because it's available and someone suggested it, here are my wedding pictures (http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/slideshow.jsp?auto=0&aid=768a5498cf4751c97a28) .They weren't for a long time but I guess they're getting pretty long again. *needs to go to the barbers again* This lazy I am. So the long hair is not because I think it's cool but because I think there are better things to do than sitting an hour in a chair while someone cuts your hair... :D

Nice pics Roa (even a bit too many of them - I looked at them to some forty or something). And the wedding dress was just marvellous! The red ribbons (?) fit in just beautifully and made the whole thing look something on it's own! *hats off*

[Folwren]

Roa, that was a gorgeous wedding!! Possitively beautiful. Yes, I looked at all the pictures. :D

Wedding pictures always make me cry.......

-- Folwren

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Well, I only got through the first 115 of them, but I must say that it was nice to see that there is a bit of colour on roa's skin. ;)

Anyways it looked like a very nice wedding, but I can only imagine the athmosphere as it looked very unlike the weddings I have attended.

[Rikae]

Roa's wedding pictures - *gets teary eyed*.

You look so beautiful & you two make such a cute couple...and that dress ---*dies*.

Sorry everybody, excuse my fit of girlyness. (But...wedding photos! :) )

[Boo Radley]

Very nice pictures, Roa.
I shot weddings to help put myself through college, ages ago. It's a tough job and one I'd never do again, but it looked as if your photographer did a pretty good job.

Speaking of photos... against my better judgement (Oh, like I even HAVE a better judgement!), here's a shot of me, taken when I was a test pilot back in the '50's.

http://home.earthlink.net/~rrspore/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/_misc_roto.jpg

[Brinniel]

Fea, I absolutely love that photo. I can't help but to say that you really remind me of one of my suitemates... (and that's a good thing, I promise)

Roa, those are some wonderful wedding photos. Not to mention, you look absolutely stunning in that dress. Very lovely indeed. :)

Ooh...browsing through these wedding pictures gets me all excited for my sister's wedding. Only four more months!

[littlemanpoet]

lmp does not look like Bill Bryson at all in this new picture. I see he may have been insulted...Insulted? I had to google him to see what he looks like. I can see the resemblance to the old pic - the smile. He has more hair. :rolleyes:

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Nice photos, including the ones I hadn't seen in the gallery. :)

[Diamond18]

TORE: I think I've said this before, but, I want your hair.

Roa: That has to be the coolest wedding dress/tiara, like, ever.

[narfforc]

Your photos are stunning and the dress is very Elven, it's at this point I wish I was a few hundred years younger.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Okay, I has a new picture, but you don't have to put it on the photo page, I just thought it might be interesting for some of the peoples.

Hookbill the Bombadil? (http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Bombadil2.jpg)

Good, eh?

[narfforc]

Hookbill moans like a very old man
His jackets too tight and his boots are tan
He can't skip far since he got fatter
His boots aren't right and he's mad as a hatter.

Hooky's off home to his pretty Goldigga
She's very pretty with a really nice figure
Down by the canal, that's where he caught her
Silly old Hooky and The Glibber-womans daughter.

Old Hooky smiles but he's not happy
Goldigga's broody so he has to wear a nappy
That's why he walks a little bit funny
So he skips along like a frightened bunny.


Sorry Hooky couldn't resist, I will pay my due at Oxonmoot :) ;), make sure you bring your costume to Oxonmoot.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

make sure you bring your costume to Oxonmoot.

That's what it's for. I know the boots aren't right, but have you ever tried to get yellow boots? It's really hard! I'm going to see if I can change the colour of the ones I've got at some point before September...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It should not be too hard if you could do with rain-boots (wellingtons?), it is unlikely that Tom B was wearing this kind of boots, but it might do the trick.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Hookbill, that's wonderful! I really like the Bombadil outfit. Now that I'm seriously considering coming to Oxonmoot too, I'm starting to plan a new costume and identity - maybe a hobbit this time?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

It should not be too hard if you could do with rain-boots (wellingtons?), it is unlikely that Tom B was wearing this kind of boots, but it might do the trick.

Wellingtons were my first port of call. ;)
They just don't do yellow ones unless you're 4 years old. Anyway, Those boots I can colour so, they should do for their purpose.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Back in the days all wellingtons used to be yellow, but then they started to make them in many colours for children and green for adults. . . The work of Saruman, I am sure!

This (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,274359,00.html) is why we need the photo page, as none of you have the moniker "Bob" or "Tim" but have more interesting names that confound all understanding.

Of course, one could question whether such Sindarin or snow berries would be suitable for a child who grew up in the Old Forest. Now, willows don't produce berries, but there are holly berries and mistletoe, to say nothing of the myriad berries available in The Shire. Why, I think I shall have to refer people to a solid source if they wish to know what a bethberry looks like.

And there you see, Beleg, how we may entertain ourselves while we wait with happy expectations to see the next round of photos. For wait we must, as our hostess is a very busy lady who kindly volunteers her time to maintain our photo site. Think of it as a life skill, patience.

There's a three smilie limit - but there's probably an eight or so limit on other pics. How else would Crazy Scenes with Pics survive?

Oh and - you're all gorgeous. Or weird. Or both.

Today is Tigerlily Gamgee's birthday. Let us praise her with great praise for her wonderful efforts at maintaining this site that is the true uncloaking of our mysteries here.

Ms. Gamgee, I salute you for a lovely photo page. Thank you so much! Happy birthday! :D

Like every Father's Day, my wife - with a little help from the kids - makes the family tie dye shirts, which become my gift, along with the requisite picture with the kids. I've uploaded this year's version.

[Bêthberry]

mrs. alatar has a great eye for design--the great shirts almost outshine the gorgeous kids--but why are you hiding your shirt behind the kids? And does she get one?

PS. I hope you had a great Father's Day, with some sleep and the only hallucinations being those of celebrating fatherhood. ;)

Thanks for your kind words. It was a rough weekend, and so I was taking advantage of the moment to sit.


And does she get one?
As a rule, no, she never makes herself one. As our family has grown, the dog no longer gets a shirt, and this year, the kit that she bought didn't have enough rubber bands, and so the kids' shirts look less spirally and more circular. Mrs. alatar said that next year she has to buy two.


PS. I hope you had a great Father's Day, with some sleep and the only hallucinations being those of celebrating fatherhood. ;)
Thanks; not much sleep, though, but why would some greeting card industry-invented day be any different? ;) Your mention of Father's Day makes me think about how Tolkien loved his kids, and how he wrote TH and LotR (somewhat) to entertain his children. That is so cool. And so...

Fathers, I know that you would face down a winged Balrog, or jump in front of that dragon-sounding locomotive that mysteriously chugs along in the Shire, or even cross the Gorgoroth barefoot if that's what it took to save your children and their mother, but I'm guessing that the opportunities to do so may be few and far between. So while you sit waiting with the endurance of Hurin, take a moment and put down the remote, turn off the game, postpone that golf outing or yardwork that is just so important to finish - even log off the Downs :eek: (until they're asleep) - and pick up a ball, a doll or even better a book and sit with your kids and focus on them. Read them the Hobbit; play LotR (light sabres serve as Anduril and Glamdring) or make up stories about the day-to-day life of Galadriel.

When that's done, help out their mother - clean up something, be the first one up when someone's crying at night, get up and get them breakfast, eat last at dinner - you said that you'd be on the front line for the Dagor Dagorath, and so waiting to eat, losing a little sleep, and doing without a few comforts surely doesn't even compare.


"Emotions!" alatar almost falls getting off his high horse, and goes to get his dictionary to see if his avatar is next to the words hypocrite, sanctimonious, and banned.

It isn't like me to share photos, but I'm in an odd mood tonight, so there.

These were taken a month ago, during our summer "holidays." It depicts our subject in two different states of haggardness, which you will notice if you observe the hair closely. Our subject and her companions were studying an hour or so before a Biochemistry quiz, you see.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Pink hair!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nice. . . I wonder if pink or red hair would suit me.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I think it suits you, Mr Rune. :p

Looks good Fea. If you want to be really outrageous, try green hair and add yellow spots. ;)

*Sounds like a Peter Gabriel song, no?

[the guy who be short]

Why didn't you dye the eyebrows, Fea?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Why didn't you dye the eyebrows, Fea?Fear of accidental blindness ensuing.

[the guy who be short]

Fair enough. It still looks very cool. One day my tongue will be as prehensile as yours.

And Lhuny looks lovely - no hairy hagardness noted.

[alatar]

Pink hair!
Very nice. Ah...to be young again when colouring one's hair doesn't cause an office panic/expulsion nor calls for an exorcism.

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?

Lhunardawen, nice. Note that, being me, I see a person whose head can spin round like an owl...which is a little creepy.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ah...to be young again when colouring one's hair doesn't cause an office panic/expulsion nor calls for an exorcism.I'm not sure youth applies... I've spent the past two days with my father's voice in my head asking "And just who do you expect to hire you looking like some dumb punk kid? I certainly wouldn't have you working for me."

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?
But of course. ;)

[Lhunardawen]

And Lhuny looks lovely - no hairy hagardness noted.
You're sweet. :) But that's because the photo's too small to show it, I now realise.

Lhunardawen, nice. Note that, being me, I see a person whose head can spin round like an owl...which is a little creepy.
There's a certain trick to it. I could teach you, if you like. :D

Fea, you amazingly manage to look good in anything.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks for the inlightentment Hookbill, now I just need to cut my hair, let my beard grow, gain a few pounds and then use that die. . . .

Of course I would have to stay away from fea as well, otherwise I would steal her thunder.

[Folwren]

Eh, er...hm...I will refrain from any comments.

But, tell me, seriously - why can't people be satisfied with natural hair colors??

I love it. I've seen people wearing similar shades, and am so envious.

I love my haircolor - but would love to try something different, just once, because I love color so much.

[Durelin]

Satisfied, sure. But why not have fun with it; it's just hair? ;)

Love it, Fea...it reminds me of when my friend dyed hers a sort of dark turquoise recently, and I was surprised how good it looked... I’m now considering that colour myself. XD

[alatar]

There's a certain trick to it. I could teach you, if you like. :D
If you mean teaching me how to look like picture #2, (1) I can look haggard without any assistance (it's genetic), or (2) if you hadn't noticed, there's no way with my current hair style that I'd ever be able to accomplish said feat, regardless of training (and long hair takes up time that I'd rather use drinking coffee) or (3) learning to spin my head completely around might sound like a good thing, but, as a parent, sometimes it's better not to turn around and to just keep walking. ;)


Fea, I'm reminded of the commercial for those little teeny breath mints where the woman juggles a bunch on her tongue. Your picture could be inserted in the last 5 seconds of the ad with the tag line, "Now in pink lemonade!"

If I were you, I'd be sending your photo now. And when you make it big, just now and then remember us little people.
