Secrets pt. 3

[Samwise]

Hm. This just came to mind when thinking of the other topics...what does everyone here do (I mean occupation wise)? (Or, if you go to school).
Me, being true to my Samwise-ness, have been a Preschool Teacher's Aide for roughly 7 years, and am therefore surrounded by children....(though quite a few more than 13). smilies/smile.gif
Sam stood by him, his round eyes wide open - for he was looking across lands he had never seen to a new horizon.

hahahaha smilies/biggrin.gif I have worked for the Government for the last 4 years and I am also surrounded by children....(though quite a few more than 13). smilies/smile.gif

[Raefindel]

I am a self-employed Caterer smilies/smile.gif

[Joy]

I am a self-employed web designer/pc repair person/network installer. Don't have much of a life outside of the computer.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I am a student, actress, and retail salesperson (hey- at least I am not in the actress/waitress stereotype!)
I also work at a living history museum during the summer - I get to dress up in period clothing, it's pretty cool!

[Raefindel]

I love to dress in costume! It sounds like a kick!

[Niphredil Baggins]

Oh I love to tell this, for I follow in the footsteps of professor Tolkien: I study Énglish Philology! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Niphredil Baggins]

oops, silly me, what in the world does that È think it's doing there?

[Gayalondiel]

Afraid I'm a lowly full-time student, albeit with aspirations to musical composition

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Okay, I'm game. I'm an ordained Buddhist who supports this habit working for a Global Mega-Corp Investment Firm. One of the 9/11 planes went through our offices.

[Lady of the Lake]

I'm a school student (two more years and I'm free!!!) 15 years old and definatly do too much dancing!!! But I love it.
I'm also going to join the Australian Youth Theatre (I hope... audition in a week, wish me luck!)
But yeah. Full-time student. Harah for me. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[the_raging_jackass]

I am also a full time student, studying Physics. More specific, Astrophysics.

[Eruhen]

I am just a lowly high school junior from a nowhere school at the far end of forever, who hopes eventually to go to college and get a degree in Christian theology, so he can be a theology prof. I also happen to share Prof. Tolkien's dirty little secret: a love for invented languages! smilies/tongue.gif

[Raefindel]

Hey! for the next "Secrtes" let's all tell our weights! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mereth'iel]

Hey! for the next "Secrtes" let's all tell our weights!


Are you outta your mind, Raefindel?? LOL


Ok...about me. I'm a former wild child who has finally settled down & am now a double major (History & Anthropology) college student currently on the Dean's List.

I give hope to the lost.

[Glenethor]

Currently, I make my dineri as a musician/recording engineer in my home studio. Owned a BBS/Website dedicated to recording, but sold it last August. The bucks are decent, I make my own hours, and can afford to occasionally kick back and do SFA. I have an academic background in psychology, worked as a therapist for a while, burnt out, and decided to do something I actually love. Isn't that what midlife crises are for?
smilies/biggrin.gif


I weigh around 270...lbs, not kilos! Somewhere between 6'3" and 6'4". Depends how my spine is these days.
smilies/frown.gif

[Raefindel]

I wasn't serious about weights! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Raefindel]

Hey! that was my 100th post!

[Joy]

You became a wright faster than I did girl! Way to go!!!!

[Mereth'iel]

Hey, congrats on reaching Wight-dom, Raefindel.

[Rosa Underhill]

I'm a full time nerd, er, student in college. (I miss high school... It was so easy. smilies/biggrin.gif) May be getting a job soon, but I don't know what it'l be,(it's a long story). Majoring in English, specifically writing. Eee! smilies/biggrin.gif

And, though I can't learn other languages worth a darn, I do love the sound of them. I'm currently working on creating a believable accent for a Griffin. Anyone know where I can find a phoenetic list of sounds in the English language?

[amyrlis]

I'm a civil engiNERD doing land development consulting and utility engineering. In lay terms - I design pipes and dirt! But in a few months I might just be a full time military wife. Who knows, depends on where the good old Army sends us! PLEASE let it be Germany!!!

[Tarlondeion Of Gondolin]

I'm a student at secondary school (English for High School)

[Joy]

When I was in college, not to long ago, I hade 3 majors. Secondary Education with Forgien Language, Psychology, and Computer Science with Networking and Web Design. I am doing the computer stuff right now, though I would love to teach one day.

Foreign lanuages has been a love of mine since I was a child. I speak Spanish, some Japanesse, some Hebrew, and some Latin. I tried to study Biblical Greek for a while also.

[Enedhil]

I left school a few years ago and now work. My dream was to do music in my final year at school then go to the local college and do an NC (national certificate) in Sound engineering, a stepping stone to music college/university to study it proper. Unfortunately, my teacher in 4th year didnt let me do music, saying he didnt think i'd cope and besides, i needed TWO instruments, not one (and, the keyboard, which is my chosen intsrtument, isnt *quite* what he classes as an *musical instrument*. he's very pompus and totally up himself!) smilies/mad.gif So now i'm an admin assistant for a small accountants firm. How can a teacher be so dreadful as to destroy a pupils dream! Maybe one day i'll get it back smilies/frown.gif

[Raefindel]

Thanks for the well-wishes, Joy and Mereth'iel! Yes, It took 11 days. My kids are getting hungry and the laundry is piling up, but hey! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Voronwe]

Currently, I go to a strange place known only as 'school'. However, without any major disasters, in half a year I'll be a full-time Physics student.

[Elven-Maiden]

I'm a 17yr. old high school student. I weigh 115 lbs, and I love history and French! smilies/smile.gif

[Lush]

Ok, I've usually avoided posting in the "secrets" threads, but I'm game now.
I'm a student (will be settling in at Duke University this fall, if everything works out with my financial aid). Hope to devote myself to English, Journalism, and Russian Studies. I work part-time at a coffee shop (very stereotypical, I'm aware), and occasionally act and model. 115 pounds as well. *High -fives Elven-Maiden*

[Gayahithwen]

It's hard to translate swedish school to american/english terms, but lets just say that I'm still in school, and when I'm about to chose the direction of my education for the coming three years I've chosen something with a lot of languages in.. even though I'm to tired right now to translate it into english.. ^_^ Oh, anyway.. When I grow up (to talk childish) I wanna become a journalist in some foreign country.. like.. uuumm.. New Zealand or Israel or anywhere.. ^_^

[Samwise]

Tigerlily Gamgee....hm....should I know you?
(LOL!)
Anywho, welcome to the 'Downs!

[Rosa Underhill]

I dunno what I weigh but I'm pretty sure I'm closer to a hobbit than an elf. Somewhere in the 150+ area.


When I grow up

Grow up?! I fully intend to do no such thing! Grow old, yes, grow up...not during the lifetime of an elf! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Samwise...
Should you know me? Well, perhaps you caught me in the Jacksonn Productions production of Guys & Dolls - oh wait... never mind... nobody's heard of them (save those people in downriver Detroit).
Let's hope you will know me some day! I plan on going to California some day after schooling & pursuing this acting thing seriously (I got a nice spirit boost from my acting teacher today) - besides, all the cabbies in Chicago tell me I should be a movie star (they're scary!). It's too bad that the movies I would love to be in more than anything have already been made (hmm... I wonder which movies those could be!)
OK, I've rambled enough!
On another note - a theatre company around here did a stage version of Return of the King, I wonder what that was like? smilies/eek.gif

[Samwise]

LOL--I meant because you and I (well, me as Samwise, anyhow) have the same last name. smilies/smile.gif

"I made a promise, Mister Frodo! 'Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee,' Gandalf said;
'Don't you leave him! "
Sam Gamgee

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Oh! I am really dumb! sorry!
Hey - maybe we're related! smilies/tongue.gif

[Samwise]

Could be.....Sam--I--did name most of my girls after flowers after all...
Gandalf: "Sam, do you know what Kingsfoil is?"
Sam: smilies/eek.gif "That's a weed! "
(Yeah, I know, that particular instance didn't happen that way in the book. Nevertheless, I thought it was kinda cute/funny that Gandalf asked Sam of all people, and of course, Sam's response....) smilies/smile.gif

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Wow - to be related to one of the most respected Hobbits in Hobbiton - & speaking of children, dang there were a lot of 'em! smilies/wink.gif

[Samwise]

Per Tigerlily:
Wow - to be related to one of the most respected Hobbits in Hobbiton - & speaking of children, there were a lot of 'em!

Aw, shucks..... : smilies/smile.gif
Yes, he certainly did, didn't he? (I...)
*Frodo and Sam walking across a feild*
*Sam stops*
*Frodo turns* "Sam, what's the matter? "
*Sam* "If I take another step, I'll be farther from home than I've ever been."

[Rosa Underhill]

Hey - maybe we're related!

*falls off chair laughing*


Aw, shucks..... :
Yes, he certainly did, didn't he? (I...)

I hope you didn't, Stace!(Sam) That would be painful. smilies/biggrin.gif I told my friend how many kids Sam had and she almost threw me out of the car.

Hah! Further proof that Sam most definately wasn't "gay"! smilies/biggrin.gif

[andhiriel greenleaf]

I'm still a senior. smilies/biggrin.gif At school....

[KayQy]

Currently attending a branch of an American university in Spain, planning to transfer back to Texas next year. Double major English-Spanish, maybe minor in German. (Yeah, I like languages, too). My friends get mad at me for not taking "real" classes and having to kill myself studying. So I waste my time on forums and web comics instead of writing my papers. So what? smilies/tongue.gif

Work? I'm in Spain! Spaniards have no work ethic! Well, at least not the ones who have left the front lobby of the apartment building half-finished for weeks. (Si hay españoles aquí, lo siento mucho.) smilies/smile.gif

Well, last semester I was tutoring some Spanish kids in English, but then their parents decided to put them into some official school program. Go figure. Really should find someone else, as the other kid I was babyisitting for went to Ukraine with his mom, and all my money comes from that loan my parents got and won't be able to repeat next year... anyone know of some good scholarships? I might could work at the Wal-Mart photo lab again this summer...

Let's see, what else? My weight is my own. It's not about weight, anyway, it's about inches. My waistline's my own, too. Oh, and lack of sleep seems to make me babble. Bye now.

[Raefindel]

Your waistline is your own? My waistline is my kids fault! I'm 5ft tall and had 3 9lb babies! And I was just kidding about weight smilies/smile.gif

[Daisy Sandybanks]

Sadly I have one more year of highschool to go, but once im out I plan take a major in computer graphics, or somthing in art(i'm currently taking classes for both at the momment), haven't really decided on that one yet, but, hey, I still have a full year to think on it!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

I'm a pianist: classical training, specialized in traditional and modern sacred music (minored in organ). After teaching children to play piano for quite a few years (highly recommended for anyone needing to learn patience! smilies/wink.gif ), I am taking time out to do my own projects and find out what's next for me.
