You realise that I am now inclined to hate you. Nah, j/k, but so speaks a 14 year old who would be looking up to you physically Im afraid. *sigh* Ah well

Here's a 16 year old who would be looking up to you.

But just barely. smilies/wink.gif

Hey, tis probably my fault (Dont ever quote me on that.)

Ach, damn thee, tall people...

Wooh! Have just checked with my sister- am 5ft 2! Wow, just seven more inches and I'll be the same height as Beren.

Man, its nearly 11, and I have church in the morning. Ah well. smilies/biggrin.gif

Dragoneyes: Maybe its because of your avatar, the little dragon looks a little anime-esque. So partly I think you look a little like an anime character. Ok, another part of my brain is rolling around on the floor laughing, so i'll try again. Light brown hair, down to just above your shoulders, blue or brown eyes. Quite serious and tolerant, but not cold or boring. 15 years old.

My dragon is anime-ish? Okay, if you say so. Light brown/dark blonde, however you want to say it. My eyes have brown in them but when I ask people, some say blue, some say green and some say grey, so that would make it bluey greeny grey with a ring of hazel. I'm incredibly serious until you meet me in real life. And tolerant? I can keep myself from punching people in the face if that's what you mean. *stares pointedly at ElentariGreenleaf* Wayhey! I'm not boring! Glad you think so! Not 15 yet though.

Unfortunately for you Aman, you're old avatar of that man creeping through the trees (I think that's what he was doing) is pretty much how I think of you, though a bit more feminine. Hmm, not quite sure how that would work. Oh well.

I've just thought of a fanciful idea! I'm going to guess what I myself look like. Based on my posts, I'd imagine myself to look like that picture of Father Francis Morgan in the Humphrey Carpenter Tolkien biography. An old, fairly chubby man with circular glasses and an expressionless face.

Of course, that's not even close (pathetic, I know) smilies/wink.gif.

Don't worry short people! I am incredibly short (maybe just a tiny bit taller than a hobbit) and it's enjoyable. Apart from the fact that everyone thinks you're cute *shudder*. Yeesh just once I'd like to be just a little bit intimidating. Or stunningly beautiful. Not just 'cute'. *Sigh* Oh well gotta make the best of things, right?

Amanaduial the archer
05-11-2003, 09:47 AM
Yeah, I hate that when people think you're cute. I get that as well, sometimes. But only by people who don't know me too well. smilies/evil.gif No, I lie, I can do cute. I just...dont.

Unfortunately for you Aman, you're old avatar of that man creeping through the trees I'm an old man? He was a wood sprite, btw. Now, female wood sprites, or driads (I think) are very beautiful but...Im an old man?!

My profile got edited by one of the mods, who shall remain nameless, and the avatar must have in some way offended said mod, so said mod felt the need to edit it out. I cant seem to find it again.

It's very wierd, even though I've seen Aman's picture on the members pics site, I can't seem to see that as her! She always seems a lot more dark and mysterious, probably long dark brown if not black hair, brown eyes, tall and about 20 or so. Completely different!

Yay! The thread got put back to the top!

I for some reason imagine all Barrow-Downs females that I know are under the age of, say, 45, as cute little women and those over the age of 45 as learned women that you'd go to for advice. I don't know why I picture you all being short, as I am a Barrow-Downs girl and I'm 5'10". I don't know why I have this "cute" image, but I do. Especially the ones younger than I am.

Do any of you want to take a new stab at me? And Legolas isn't allowed to tell you what I really look like, as I have already sent him a picture of myself once (not that he would go out of his way to tell you or anything).

Amanaduial the archer

Oh great, Vanima thinks I'm cute! I dont know what to think now...

She always seems a lot more dark and mysterious, probably long dark brown if not black hair, brown eyes, tall and about 20 or so. Oh, keep that image! I hereby ban all of thee on this thread from looking at that pic! I want that image!!!

I have asked Alk to remove it, but I think he may be sulking at me. With good reason, I guess.

Manardariel: Brownish-red hair, quite long (I suppose to say about my length wont be helpful...)say about a handspan below your shoulders, smattered with occasional little braids. Green eyes, quite wide. Freckles are in order I think, but not incredibly intrusive and scary ones, just a few across your nose. Smily, cheery, friendly face, generally set in a grin.

I am soo flattened, Archer! Freckles.. I wish. Eyes wide.. only with eyeshadow. Redish hair.. yeah, but that´s "Loreal Si Naturelle Original Color hair dye". But hey, thanks for that one!! smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

Oh and Beren, if the " 5"11 girl" was me, it´s probably not right... I grew up with metric and haven´t quite figured out how to go back-and-forth. I´m 1,75 m. tall, if that helps. smilies/smile.gif

Actually, I'm 5'7. I just had my mum measure me.

Really?! I imagined you to be shorter, dragoneyes.

As for me, I'm not even 5'2". But honestly, I don't feel short at all because my entire family is short and the majority of my school is under average height. What's so bad about being short anyways? I kind of like it. smilies/smile.gif

Amanaduial the archer

Dragon, I imagined you to be shorter as well actually- not as short as myself, obviously...say 5 5.

I've been reading back through the many pages of this thread for some days now realising how accurate some people are, and how far off others (including myself) have been at guessing.

It also becomes apparent that not everyone sees others as characters from Middle Earth, Mith as Hugh Jackman? Though I have to say, Earendil being Boromir in a blue tunic was fantastic smilies/smile.gif

Having been a member of the downs for over a year now, does anyone think they know me well enough to hazard a guess at what I look like, Middle Earth or not? smilies/rolleyes.gif

Wow, there are so many 5'7" people on this thread. And I am joining your ranks... smilies/tongue.gif When I turned 11 I measured myself up on the wall, so I'll go check how tall I was. Okay, about 5' 2". But I know an eleven year old, a friend from this winter camp thingy a few schools went to, including mine, and she's 5'10 and a half" smilies/eek.gif

Suddenly I feel old...... but any way I bet no one can guess me not even phantom, especially my age!!!! I am serious. I am older than I act due to the volatile nature of ADD. Did I mention that I drink a lot of coffee.

But any way like I said before I see people as their avatars. Every time I see Beren87's llama avatar I get this funny picture from the Emperor’s New Groove.

Lyra Greenleaf
05-12-2003, 12:41 PM
*Sigh* No-one else wants a go at me? No? OK then. Time to come clean, I guess.

I think that you - Lyra - often wear green, have dark wavy auburn hair, and you're soft-spoken.

Either you're a teenager or you're a lot older. I mean, you're either in your thirties or forties, or you're about 15 or 16.

Well, I have dark brown hair with red (natural) highlights, grey eyes, yes I am soft spoken actually! How did you guess? I am a teenager, but in fact 18. (30s or 40s? Why?)

Lyra Greenleaf: medium-sized, dark hair, spakle-eyes, (relatively dark), oh and always smiling, around 15
I'm 5 foot 4, which is pretty medium, I guess. Dark hair, yep. My eyes are sparkly, actually, but light. I am always smiling, but like I said, 18.

GaladrieloftheOlden
05-12-2003, 12:48 PM
Amanaduial- it seems like everyone likes to be opposite. I'd give a lot to be a few inches shorter, and it would be terrible to be 5'10.5". Imagine school dances... I always sit in the corner with a Tolkien book and/or a laptop because I'm taller than all the boys (we have a short class) and I feel uncomfortable staring over peoples' heads... not that anybody would ask me anyway.

I wish I was taller. smilies/biggrin.gif There's the other extreme. I wouldn't know personally about being tall, but I'm guessing that being just over 5'1 is almost as annoying as being taller than every guy.

I always imagined Ith to look like the goalie on my soccer team. Shoulder-length red-brown hair (though dyed several colors) and blue-grey eyes.

I always saw Aman as my best friend's little sister. Big brown eyes that sucker you into helping her with anything, and piggy-tail braids to her shoulder blades in a sandy-brown color.

Aylwen

And Mattius is just the chicken boy. smilies/wink.gif

05-12-2003, 09:09 PM
I've always seen Nurumaiel kind of how I picture Nynaeve from Wheel of Time, only younger and...well, more pleasant-looking. Middling height, with grey-green eyes and long brown hair, in (of course) a braid. I also picture her at about seventeen years of age, though I don't have any idea how old she really is.

I've seen a picture of you, Aylwen, or I'd guess at you...

Mattius is the Dancing Chicken Boy. LoL. Well, either that or the way I see all guys named Matt: tall, with spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and very mischievous.

My idea of Sophia the Thunder Mistress's appearance comes from the "Thunder Mistress" in her name, making me think of the pictures of goddesses I've seen in mythology books. Tall and broad-shouldered, with thick, mid-back black hair, and dark brown eyes. And a big ol' sword or something. Whackety-whack.

Arien is Tinkerbell....Estelyn is Fiona, of course...and Sharon is my image of Cami, (which, for some reason, includes blonde hair) which I'm quite sure is not really how she looks. I imagine she's a bit taller.

Aww... excactly.. you hit the nail on the head!!
Niluial is, I believe, 18. Got you there.
I think Nil is in 10th grade... I talked to her on PM a bit, and I can't remember exactly what grade she said, but I think 10th.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress
05-13-2003, 12:33 AM
Whoa! to address the strikingly similar (and somewhat off the mark) guesses smilies/smile.gif

Manardariel- Sophia Thunder Mistress: really dark (black?) hair, green or dark eyes, really tall Hair is dark, but not black, dark eyes are right, I'm about 5'5".

Lyra Greenleaf- Sophia the thunder mistress: Medium height, I know how old you are, light brown/ dirty blonde hair and greeny-blue eyes, wears glasses Height and age are right smilies/biggrin.gif. My hair's a little darker than that, kind of a middle to dark brown. Wrong on the eyes, but I do wear glasses when I'm not wearing my contact lenses.

Orual- My idea of Sophia the Thunder Mistress's appearance comes from the "Thunder Mistress" in her name, making me think of the pictures of goddesses I've seen in mythology books. Tall and broad-shouldered, with thick, mid-back black hair, and dark brown eyes. And a big ol' sword or something. Whackety-whack. You were right about the eyes smilies/wink.gif. And the sword... ah, alas, I wish. LOL, I have a wooden one I bought at a renaissance fair once...

It is annoying. Every guy I have liked has been shorter than me, and I'm taller than my sister who is 14.

Much better. Someone actually thought I had brown hair, thought I wouldn't mind being blonde.

If we are talking about our heights, here's my interesting problem. Everyone seems to think I am tall (about 5'8 or 5'8 and a half), but I don't, I've always wanted to be taller than this by at least an inch. I think I'm very medium and I've always wanted to be tall. Maybe it has to do with the fact my mother is taller, but she thinks I'm tall too. smilies/tongue.gif

I've only been on here about a month so I don't have very many impressions of BDers yet but here are a few.

Lush: Light blond hair, not the sort of person to leave small children around if you are trying to keep them nice and innocent.
Barrow-Wright: thirties, brown hair.
Raefindel: twenties, red hair, spunky.

A little off the mark, but the pigtails are right on! More sort of medium brown Aylwen, and green eyes. Man, do I seem that young?! I would have guess at you, but I looked at your pic...and you are so different! My image of you was completely shattered!

Bekah
05-13-2003, 07:15 PM
Nuru - 17!

*laughs crazily*

Shes...ah, a lot younger. I happen to know her age, and the length of her hair and how she wears it. I forget her eye colour and anything else.

I think the person who judged Nuru to be 17 also guessed her hair about waist length, if I remember rightly, and if so they would be right. Seeing how she's a LOTR fan, how do you think she might wear it (think elvish).

And to Lyra Greenleaf - I don't know myself. I had a feeling you were in the teenage years though. You don't seem in your thirties or forties, but I wasn't sure.

Beren--a guy named Matt? You're a llama! ^_^

Bekah--oh dear, I was way off? The 17 was a wild stab in the dark, really. It's how I see most characters in books, it's about the age of most of my characters in my stories, so of course it's how old I imagine many of my fellow B-D'ers.

Before anybody guesses my appearance, I do NOT have red hair, no matter what colour Rie has. I love red hair, but--alas!--I myself am not a redhead.

I've...never really been told that. Most females I know call me "Mattie" anyway, so I've grown used to that name. Huh, *shrug*.

It's actually quite odd, one of my best friends' names is Matt too. He, on the other hand, fits that description of a Matt.

And if I had time I would have introduced my other character Bekah into the Awards thingie, who would have had red hair. Not that I have red hair. You know, I imagined every last detail of her appearance and never really introduced her save very sketchily (sp?).

Let's see...I reckon you, Orual, have muddy-brown hair. Don't ask me why. BTW, is your name in any way connected to 'Till We Have Faces?

And I think you are 15 or 16. No more guesses from me at present.

You know, Elentari Greenleaf thought I was 17 originally. Does anyone else want to make a stab? Barring those that already know?

~ Elentari II

Nurumaiel
05-13-2003, 09:51 PM
*wonders what she is doing here*

Are you sure I'm a lot younger, Bekah? I'm actually not that much younger than 17, really. smilies/rolleyes.gif A lot younger than 17 indeed. I prefer my age to remain unknown (that way nobody can say I'm a great writer for my young age, a rotten writer for my old age, young and naive, old and wise, etc. They can just appreciate me for who I am, not dependant on age), but don't listen to Bekah. *smiles pleasantly at Bekah* I'm not as young as she might think I am. *gestures to her not to give out any hints at my age* Again, I like to remain unknown. Don't worry, Orual, you weren't really off. Not really. Let's put it this way: I'm older than 10 and younger than 30.

Bekah, not to sound rude, but in future if people make guesses about my age/appearance, I'd prefer for myself to be the only one that lets them know whether they're right or not. There are some things in which I don't mind you and other close friends knowing, but though a few of the people on the BD are considered close friends by me, more than 75% are unknown, so I wouldn't want to have too much about me said, okay? Thanks.

You got hair color right, and the length. I usually do wear my hair in a braid. Not so much to worry about that way. Just because I'm a LOTR fan doesn't mean I'll try to copy the Elves. I prefer to be me. Though recently it has been put up in a bun with a fake curly hairpiece attatched due to going on stage a lot. Grey-green eyes wasn't exactly right.

Now, Orual, let me see. You have brown hair (dark?). Length I have no clue, and eye color.... brown? Clueless.... *sighs*

Bekah, don't think I'm cheating, because I don't know what you look like. I'm not even that sure how old you are, though I could guess, which I will. You're 14(?) and you have.... brown hair? which is currently shoulder length, and grey/green eyes? *is lost*

Well, hopefully you won't be so much in the dark by tomorrow, even if that particular photo of myself that I've attempted to send you isn't all that flattering.

I was more or less vague. It puts your age range to anything up to about 15.

And I happen to think you're a brilliant writer full-stop. Or period. The little dot that usually goes at the end of a sentence.

Regardless of your age, which might be anything in that age range. Unless you're 16? smilies/evil.gif

Okay, okay, I'll stop putting my foot any further in my mouth. It's probably down to my stomach by now. smilies/rolleyes.gif

And, since I suspect I've told my age to more people than I should have done, my age is....no, not telling! More guesses are in order first...

And I did describe my hair and eyes, both of which constantly change. I do not use any dyes or lighteners though. My hair just...changes. As to my eyes, over the years they have greatly changed.

So yeah, you are currently more or less correct. My hair is growing as fast as it can, in fear of me. "Grow, you fool of a hairdo, grow!!"

I think I need therapy...

Anyway, I reckon Helkahothion is probably around 15 or 16. Like Orual I think I'm pretty fixed in my age mentality thing.

Dutch...okay, probably brown, curly hair? And a deep voice. Brown eyes. Laughs a lot.

I'm a little biased, thanks to the Dutch guy at youth group.

Umm...okay, Arestelwen has light brown skin, dark brown to black hair, brown eyes. I know her age, so I won't comment on that.

Probably totally wrong.

Nuru has grey-green eyes, and fair skin of a rose tone.

Oh dear...

I would be cheating if I "guessed" what one axe to rule them all looks like smilies/wink.gif .

Iarwain, I have never thought of you as that picture of Father Francis Morgan in the Humphrey Carpenter Tolkien biography. An old, fairly chubby man with circular glasses and an expressionless face.
Althought if anyone has that opinion of themselves, they should quit right now!!! It's bad for you. Anyhow...

Iarwain, I see you as a happy man, full of jokes and glee, in his mid-twenties to thirties, rather tall, about 5'11", ruddy brown hair, and grey eyes.(I haven't looked into you that much, forgive me if I am terribly wrong)

Bekah, I belive you just described yourself, but I'm ignoring your post to tell you what I think first smilies/biggrin.gif . I see you as a young girl, in your early teens, mabey 13, slightly longer than shoulder length brownish hair with a hint of some other color when the sun hits it just right, your eyes, like my friend Jessicas, change colors(it's a very cool thing to watch) with the different color of clothes you wear, about 5'7" or so. How was that?

Anyone want to guess me? It's gonna be fun!

Just if you are wondering, the pictures can be found Here (http://breeunderbreehill.com/id103.htm)

I always thought that Birland was a guy, but then again, I also thought that from Dragoneyes. It is very hard to see if someone is male or female just by looking at the writing style or name. I almost missjudgd Aman, but could prevent that just in time thanks to Alkoonion.

I thought that Aman, was like 32 years old, because I was judging from her RPG skills.

I thought that BW locked himself in his house all day and never speak to people, but just growl smilies/biggrin.gif. But I came to see that he is a very nice and hansome guy. Gosh, what I think, well, I could fill 60 pages, but that is not possible and I don't have the time, so I will stick to this. Oh and I also thought that Beren looked something like the convetti trowing wizard smilies/wink.gif

No no no. I ment a 32 year old woman. Because you're posts where so highly formed. (I would not dare to insult you)

About that she thing, I never knew that. Well, maybe she got confused because I said I was in love with Orlando Bloom and thought Mr. Kittle was cute. Yeah, I think that might be it. smilies/biggrin.gif

Now I am more than a little scared. Right, you fancy a young male actor and the Barrow-Wight. Hmm. Well, whatever takes your fancy, Im just confused as to why you then asked Aman to the party. Whatever works for you, elf-boy.

The pictures are misleading. They can completely alter what you may have thought of someone- Helka, for example- I had a completely different image of you. For one thing, you were blonde.

One, I can't see Helka there. Two, Dragoneyes looks not too different from how I imagined her - and three, Aman's picture was a total shock.

I might put my picture on there...d'ya think they can take scanned ones? I have a more easily accessible one, but I am not, I repeat, not going to let people view that pubicly.

Did I mention the shock of Samwise' picture?

Sorry, Sophia, I missed yours. About the age, I'm quite hesitant to tell, with all of these various comments going around. I like let people think what they please about my age, it tells me a good deal about my own posting quality and the maturity displayed in my responses. I remember a while back when someone said the following: I'm still impressed by both of you, Sacepan-Man and Iarwain. I love what you said-it is very true.I'm glad I can look up to your wisdom and knowledge as a child making her way into a world full of confusion... I was thrilled that what I had said was appreciated in such a way. However, I will remain (at least for now) Eldest. You can guess, though. It gives me great pleasure. smilies/smile.gif

Aman: Actually amaziling enough you kinda look a little like me!! smilies/eek.gif

Child of the 7th Age: I pictured you to be about 13-14 with long blonde hair and blue eyes. You are tall and smart. You where glasses but you are popular and not considered a nerd( I don't think anyone with glasses is a nerd).

Legolas: I've pictured you as Legolas. What can I say?

Sophia, I thought that maybe people would think of me looking like my avatar now that I have changed it (but I don't mind that).

Well if Squatter's avatar is of 16th century British royalty than maybe they would know eachother. But my avatar can't be Squatter's wife because mine is a painting of a very young Elizabeth I. I chose it because she is one of my personal idols, and this is (in my opinion) the most beautiful painting of her that was ever created. I would die for the dress that she is wearing. I have actually considered many times trying to recreate it.

No- I'm pretty sure his is some guy from an Olympic Fencing team, but it was just my first reaction anyway smilies/tongue.gif.

My Mona avatar was posted by Saucepan Man on a thread in the quiz room and I thought it was hillarious so I saved it, and in a fit of boredom stuck it online and used it for an avatar. Unfortunately smilies/wink.gif I look nothing like her.

Now that I've seen your picture on Alkanoonion's site I think that you look quite like my avatar, she is a very pretty blonde (not like me at all) smilies/smile.gif

05-18-2003, 03:11 PM
Eruanna- My hair is no longer that color. I'm in the process of hunting down a decent picture to replace that one, because I don't look like that anymore. Naturally my hair's that funny in between blond and brown color. That picture was taken after a summer of lifeguarding so it was really sun-bleached. Right now though, I have it dyed dark, and I think I'll keep it that way. But I look nothing like Liv Tyler smilies/wink.gif.

As for your guess, oh confusing one, I do have quite dark hair, but bits of it are blonde (I sometimes get told it looks like a mermaids, but am sure they mean it's all damaged and like seaweed) It's just past my shoulders, if it was straight it would be way below my shoulder blades, but it's wavy/curly. My eyes...are..err...an assortment of colours, mainly green/brown. And I'm around 5'5" or 6"

Well GaladrieloftheOlden, you got the blond hair right but the thing is I am very Celtic! But right now I have orange hair cause I had it dies red for a long time. Bleach did nothing for the red and the blond hair dye just made it look better. My roots are coming out and they are the dark blond they are supposed to be! Unfortunately I don’t have a green glow, wish I did. To see a semblance of me go to my web site and look un the character Myrddin. The picture is huge but that is the way the computer did it. But any way enough about me.

You must look like your avatar GaladrieloftheOlden,..... I don't know what you really look like I have said I tend to think of people as RP characters and avatars.

My guess: Medium to dark brown hair, mid back length, and fairly tall, maybe about 5'7", 5'8"; brown-green eyes, not pale, but slightly tanned, thin. Close, or totally off?

Oooh, what do you think I look like?

kittiewhirl1677

That's funny. It's pretty much how I imagine you smilies/smile.gif You got the hair about right: it's longer than that, but it wasn't such a long time ago that it was that long. I'm not sure whether you'd define the color as being dark or medium brown, or somewhere in the middle... I only get freckles in the summer though, and even then they're not really consiscious.

Not quite. Dark blond hair, not quite to my shoulders, not a few freckles, a lot of them, and my eyes change color according to mood. Sometimes they're green, sometimes brown, on a few rare occasions they've been almost blue.

Helka, I picture you as a character in Mercedes Lackey's The Last Herald-Mage. Black hair, pale skin, and silver eyes. Yes, silver eyes. Not too tall, very fine-featured. I've always pictured Vanyel as looking quite a bit like your avatar, so that's how I picture you. Also, you and Van have similar...never mind. *blushes*

Switch away Trip dear! I like the mug, goes better with the hippo I think. May be just me though...

Amanaduial the Archer - Dark brown hair, almost black, mid-back to shoulder length. Grey blue eyes, and fair skin. Shortish, perhaps around 5'4", slender, and a sweet smile. Any good?

Trippo the Hippo - A hippo with lovely light blue-green, almost sea colored skin, with perky cute ears, and wide chocolate brown eyes. A wide grin, and very even, white teeth. Likes wearing top hats when going out on the town. smilies/biggrin.gif

If anyone has not read my description please do me! Or even if you have it was very limited. Please- I like to know how I seem.

All right...

Lyra Greenleaf - Straight medium brown to dark brown hair, about shoulder to mid-back length, with blond highlights. Around average height, perhaps 5'6". Thin, but not very thin, and slightly darker than fair skin. Blueish eyes, and a Mona Lisa like smile, very enigmatic and mischieveious. Close, or totally off?

Does someone have a guess for my appearance?

I have found another thread, rather older thread, which talks of the appearances of the Downers
That thread goes a ways back. I clicked on it and didn't even realize that I had once posted there. Well, I've changed since then anyways, being a year older and all. smilies/rolleyes.gif

Nil, I've just seen your pic, and you look nothing like I expected! Ok, so you are blonde, but still. You look much older than I imagined, or was it just one of those photos? (I mean that in a good way, by the way. Not you look older than I imagined in a mean way. *digs herself into oblivion*

Has anyone else been shocked by members pics? (I didn't really think that question was worth a whole new thread)

I would like to see what you looked like, Lossie. I currently have you looking like your avatar, which isnt a bad thing I suppose. smilies/smile.gif I have had mine taken off the site though- twas cruelty, what with all the younger generation coming through here, to expose them to that. smilies/biggrin.gif

I was surprised by a few people- Burrahobbit was nothing like what I thought he would look like, and neither was Raefindel and Mark12_30.

I was shocked by the pictures of everyone I'd ever had an image of except Brinniel. Some pictures shocked me more than others.

I can still see your picture there, Aman.

And I have to say that Faye Took reminds me of Pheobe on "Friends", though Faye is probably a lot smarter.

Lossen's picture was in the old Imladris, and it might be on the new as well. Try "London TV!!!"

I don't have a very clear mental image of you, but for some reason I see you with hair that is either that really nice dark red color, or pitch black. But not many people have hair either of those colors, so I'm probably dead wrong smilies/wink.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif

Helka, I picture you as a character in Mercedes Lackey's The Last Herald-Mage. Black hair, pale skin, and silver eyes. Yes, silver eyes. Not too tall, very fine-featured. I've always pictured Vanyel as looking quite a bit like your avatar, so that's how I picture you. Also, you and Van have similar...never mind. *blushes*



Is there something you want to tell me? smilies/smile.gif

Also, I have to ask - Helka, did you supply one or two photos? I'm sure your answer will interest everyone, which is why I'm not asking via PM.

Yep. I sent the second one and asked Alkoonion to replace the old one. But appearently he thinks I'm pretty enough to have two spaces on his wonderfull site smilies/biggrin.gif

Oh that is good stuff Hirilaelin. smilies/biggrin.gif

Just out of curiosity, do I seem to be english? I am just a east coast Jersey boy, but I do at times go to my little world where I am a english chap, and I drink some tea with The Sauce Pan Man.

Helkahothion- I'll say what I thought of you before I saw your pic; but I wasn't far off.
Actually, I pictured you looking like Rath, a character in a manga series I'm reading: dark hair, dark eyes, tall, sharp features; a strange sense of humor, and somewhat violent. Oh, and sarcastic. You can't forget the sarcasm. smilies/wink.gif

I belive I saw him saying that he was once. But it doesn't matter if he isn't because its my fantasy world. smilies/tongue.gif

Yes sorry to tell you like that Helka. You will get over it after the intial shock is done.

Trippo, I somehow thought of you as Australian... don't know why, so don't ask.

Ok I wont ask you, though I have asked myself over and over in my head. Was it my accent. lol.

*sigh* I wish I had hair either of these colors, but it's just plain old brown, though people have called me a red-head before.

Well Trip, I've had people mistake me for and Englishman, either that or from Canada. They think I talk strangely for an American. Probably because I do talk in a rather British style, though without the accent. Lot's of books, and almost no TV can do that to ya. BTW, glad you liked the description, and I knew that you're a boy, even before you said so! smilies/biggrin.gif

Helky - Can't believe I went this long without doing a description for you... smilies/rolleyes.gif I keep thinking of you as your current avatar, but I'll take a guess! Short dark brown hair, so dark as almost to be called black, but its not, spiked, little darker than fair skin, not too tall, maybe a little taller than average, Pretty thin, and dark green-grey eyes. So, am I totally off or what? smilies/biggrin.gif

Is there something you want to tell me?

Not particularly. Reread Elven Haters? in the Movies forum for that. *blushes again, very red.*

Hirilaelin, um, I sort of see you as rather tall, constantly smiling, with brown hair (because you told us that) and gray eyes. Also, for some reason, a very Roman nose. (Go figure.)

Gorothlamothiel: Medium length black hair, piercing gray eyes, and something of a haunted expression. (That's from Soronume in the Green Dragon.) Very tall, though bent a little, as though carrying a heavy burden. (Also Soronume.) And when you smile, there is still a sadness in your eyes. I'm probably totally off, but that's how i picture you.

Beware the wrath of Aman! smilies/biggrin.gif No, I do not have one single thing against the English, I love the English. I reason I said that is that in my lovely nation (America), TV watching has taken over much of the reading going on. So, I grew up reading, therefore, my speech was not patterned after the speech I heard on TV, but after the books I read. And, I must say, I read a lot of English books, or at least books by English authors.

Very scary. You are right. Only the dark eyes. The rest is correct.

Saph - Fine textured light brown/blond hair, little shorter than mid back, and very, very slightly slanting blue-grey eyes. A little taller than average, and slender. Fairly pale skin, but tans up nicely. Has a wickedly sweet smile, and enjoys feeding her pet xenomorph fresh Leggy-boppers. Close, or waaay off?

I shall try and guess what GaladrieloftheOlden looks like:
A deep dark brown hair with a slight tint of red to it. Hazel chocolate eyes filled with mystery that one could never tell what she is thinking. And thin red lips, one could never tell whether GaladrieloftheOlden is happy or sad.

Pretty close there, Hiri! smilies/biggrin.gif here's the real deal:

ME!: light-brown hair (shoulder length), blue/green/grey eyes, bit taller than average, fairly slender, fairly pale, but I burn more than I tan. Sarcastic, evil, sweet sort of personality. And I love feeding Leggie-boppers to my sweet little xenomorph, Helka. smilies/wink.gif

Tinuviel of Denton : tall, willowy (sp?), quiet, long wavy blonde/brown hair, grey eyes, intelligent, female.

Naz: Wild, outgoing, life-of-the-party, black hair, brown eyes, short, female.

Finwe: smart, female, long straight black hair, thin, medium-height, quiet until you get to know her, hazel eyes.
