Sorry I decided to wreak some havoc, I was updating the web page that the pictures are on. I will fix the link for Rae, Squatter and myself. Also I will add Frieda to the web page.

After 5 attempts to fix the page I have finally fixed the links. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well, I have to say that none of you look like I had imagined! Ah, dont hit me! I didn´t mean it in a bad way! smilies/biggrin.gif I mean, I had pictured you differentely. And maybe more..er, whatever...
Anyway, I will hopefully get hold of a scanner soon and come up with new pics of me (role-playing related), in case you were interested, which I know you weren´t.. smilies/wink.gif
I am amused to see that NO ONE has said anything about my pic.^_^ Maybe it´s the bad quality (taken with a webcam), who knows. smilies/biggrin.gif

Aw....Varda, you're so cute!! I'm beginning to think sending in a pic of me as a toddler would have been much safer.... smilies/wink.gif Too late now..... smilies/frown.gif

[vanwalossien]

Melephelwen: I have, let's see... Four female cousins, but none of them look like me at all. I look stunningly like my mother and aunt though (except they're 25 years older than me..). But if I remind you of someone, it's hardly strange, I think I look like a standard norwegian girl (us vikings aren't that tall and blonde..).

[Maikadilwen]

Well at least not Marilyn Monroe blonde.... smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif And since I'm only 5'7" I don't fall under the description "tall" either..

I look forward to receiving your picture Nevfeniel any picture of you would be nice for the web page. You don’t need to look like a super model but it helps. JK smilies/wink.gif

I can't help but notice that this thread is growing, but I don't have a picture!

I will send a pic to Alk one of these days.

And I couldn't help but notice Sam's helpless reaction to the ladies in here. You sound adorable, Sam. As no other word in English can describe you, my popular vernacular aptly dubs you as "malambing" which kinda means "sweet" in character.

And by the way, all of you look great, and in the Barrow Wight's pic was exactly the way my mind's eye sees him.

I am currently searching for a picture of me that doesn't look too tall... and as a surprise for all of you... no, I am afraid to say I don't really look like a Warg. Oh, and I dyed my hair! This is the most recent piccy I could find.

Mr. Barrow-Wight - So this is the true identity of Mr. Barrow-Wight! You room is cool. Looks a lot like mine, except maybe mine's more messy, and you can see dog hair all over the place. Barrow-Wight, would you be willing to sell me some LOTR trading cards? Please?

Whoo! Too many piccys to comment on. I think I might e-mail my piccy to Alkanoonion. I dunno how to put it up on a site. Be amazed! Oh, and also about that comment for more male Wights... is the Official Warg of the Barrow-Downs good enough for you? But the shading's a little off... my friend was never a good photographer. Oh well. I've successfully scanned it! Now to send it...

Hey, Alk, I'm there on the page! wonderful smilies/smile.gif

[Turambar]

Can I just throw in a couple off-topic comments?

One, there are some great avatars in this Board. I think you have to give burrahobbit the prize, but just from this thread alone I really like Eol's (from the Book of Kells I think?), Melephelwen's, Frieda's, Tigerlily's and Great Warg's.

Two, why did I think Tirned Tinnu was a guy? I wonder if all guys assume that someone with a "neutral" name is also a guy, and all women assume it's a woman ?

[Maikadilwen]

I think you're on to something there Turambar. OK, I know I've PM'd a bit with Tinnu, but even before that, I assumed she was a "she".

Regarding avatars, I must say that I'm madly in love with Alka's. smilies/smile.gif

[onewhitetree]

A new and improved me (http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/chat/kate4.jpg).

[Eol]

Yes, you go that correct. My avatar is from the book of kells. If I recall correctly, the panel is titled,the evanglists.

Tir: I would have to agree a little on the irish actor, he does look like an aragorn, however does he sound like one?

[ September 19, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[burrahobbit]

An even more improved Kate (http://gdi.keenspace.com/kate.jpg).

I agree, burra. That ketchup bottle makes all the difference. Why in the world did she crop it out originally? *shrugs*

It was Sharku that did that, Old Fool.

[onewhitetree]

Yeah, l'd have put up the ketchup bottle, but I didn't have anywhere to load it, and burra selflessy and kindly put it on his webspace. The cropped version was already online through the chat wight page, thanks to dear Sharku. I love you guys!

Besides red, you can see my nice tan in the expanded version. smilies/wink.gif

[burrahobbit]

Hell of a tan.

[Tirned Tinnu]

Ah, yes, the ever-present question of sex and names. I translated what someone remarked should be my name rather literally, and not wanting to be another Tinuviel, I conjugated it as best I could without studying too hard.

I chose a neutral name because: when I was young and played female characters in RPGs I was oft confronted with the possibility a sexual assault - and I took to playing male charaters instead. So I thought, why not neutral? That works for me.

I chose a feminine strength symbol for my avatar - you'll all recognise Sigorney Weaver from Alien if you look at it carefully. It was that or Kim Hunter, in her role as a witch in "Bell, Book and Candle", but the piccy was too much for the server's permissions.

Eol! Yes, that is Ciaran Hinds, the Irish actor who has played many a tough role. I do think he looks exactly as I think of Aragorn. When he smiles, he looks young, and when he scowls, he is grim! He's actually got green eyes, but hey, not bad anyway. He's skilled with a sword, and has costarred in big productions such as "Excalibur" (John Boorman) and "Ivanhoe" (made for cable)
I think he looks fine in a tunic. but these days he's put on a bit of weight, and was in "Sum of All Fears" as the Russian president, and "Road to Perdition" as the fellow who sobs out the wrong words at his brother's funeral and get killed as a result. Ciaran is very much in demand, as his writeups usually include something about him being one of the more noble, dramatically adept actors in the craft today. One other reason why I like him - he looks just like a man I dated in Ireland, who was nothing but a total gentleman and a fantastically loyal friend. Not to mention 6'2" and drop dead handsome.
Oh dear, stop me, I'm drooling.

Oh yeah one more thing.. I figured the reason why he did not get cast as Aragorn was because he was involved in "Sum" and "Road"s' filming, and could not be free to do LOTR at the time. Too bad, I say! His voice is soft, (or gruff as need be) and his manner is careful, his accent is kingly, and his diction clear.

I'll try and get my picture up there soon: I still have a roll of film I need to finish up.

I have to say that it's exciting to finally see all these wonderful pics. I've always wondered what the members here looked like, and now I know. Still, there are several others that have not yet revealed their true selves. Hurry and send in your pics to Alk! I want to see them!

burrahobbit- Lucky you! I don't know very many people that can do that. Can you put both legs behind your head? A girl who used to be in my dance class did that once and she got stuck!

I certainly can. Want to see?

But honestly, it's way harder to do one while standing than two while sitting.

Hey, Rae, yeah I didn't think I'd get around to it either - and I didn't! *laughs* I just happened to be half asleep and my boyfriend snapped this photo on the digital. I wasn't sure about sending it, but it literally is the only digital photo I have (other than one that's rather inappropriate). That brings the tally to:

Pictures of hikes - 59

We are wishing to purge our forums of such insights as "Fifty ways to ravish Frodo," and "Oh for the love of Sean," and "What did Orli do in your dreams last night?", and "Give me Gimli's godly features," and you want to replace that with "The Barrow Wights are sex gods"?

As for Turambar being good-looking...Well, this thread was set up so that we may see each other's pictures and comment on them. Wasn't it?

Turambar graced us with his picture at his own risk, and it's certainly not my fault that he's cute. Heh.

Thank you. It's odd thing to grow up with glasses, braces, stringy hair, bony knees.. spend 14 years as a nun.. to hear that. I've heard it from several boyfriends too. Hm.

Grievous disservice. *curtsies with humble apologies and a twinkle in eye* Although the voice ...

I never knew Welles played Rochester! I have no movie visions of Rochester, since I hate every Bronte movie I've ever seen. (Though George C. Scott did play Rochester.)

Nor did I wish to imply any dismemberment. Or blindness. *smiles a Mona Lisa smile*

[Turambar]

(basso profundo) "We will serve no bethberries before their time."

The Orson Welles version is pretty good; it has Joan Fontaine as Jane and is direcetd by Robert Stevenson, who is clearly a genius, since he later directed "That Darn Cat!", "Son of Flubber", "The Absent-Minded Professor" and -- yes, you guessed it --"Old Yeller".

It may sound cute, but I don't think it is. :rolleyes: It's the flashes Kozmo (my dog) hates. Each time I pick up a camera, he'll either hide under the table or chair, sit at your heels (so that he's too close to focus), hide his head under a pillow or his paw, or more commonly just look away. I actually just took a picture of him, but I was only able to get one side of his face. Kozmo is normally a very happy and bouncy dog, but in pictures he looks sad and abused. :(

Nice pictures guys, i wonder when i'd be doing the same thing(posting my picture).

I wish I had abetter place to up load pics *sighs*

[Elenna]

I wish I had a better pic TO upload. I refuse to show myself to a community of individuals I respect if I have messed up hair or my eyes are closed.

[*Varda*]

Hm, I'll really have to get round to sending Alkanoonion a more recent picture of me. I don't think I can fool people into thinking I'm actually 3, 13 years younger than I actually am. Oh well.

Expect a more recent picture, now I have some without my glasses.

[onewhitetree]

My hair is in a constant state of disarray, my eyes are closed at least a third of my life, and what's more, I always have pretty much the same expression, so I feel quite confident that my photos are accurate representations. How do I still manage to be so vain? It's a gift, I believe.

I didn't mean everyone. Maddox and Maika apparently know eachother very well, and others. It was an expression, like ya'all. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[Eärendil]

Vanwa - Yes, I am. If I get a ticket, that is. Having trouble with it.
Arladwen - Your pic worked for me. Nice picture.

Ok, I know this is really off topic, but I just realised I have to get through my Quenya course a little faster. I looked in the dictionary in "An Introduction to Elvish" and found out that the short form of Vanwalossien, Vanwa means 'lost'.. Fitting name for me perhaps?

Just figured out a way to make this more on-topic. Here (http://community.webshots.com/photo/54349664/54349835nqnCMq)'s me with the lovely hat.. I have no idea why I'm doing this, I look ridiculous!

[Maikadilwen]

I simply love that hat! And I actually mean that. But that's just me. smilies/tongue.gif

[vanwalossien]

And I like frogs.. Please Maika?

[Maikadilwen]

Oh, I was so happy when people started talking about something else. And now we're back to frogs....

Why couldn't it have been a cute reptile instead. I love reptiles. Maybe a sweet little gecko. They're so adorable.

What I actually find most amazing is that people only talk about the frog-kissing. What I would really like to know is: Why am I standing in the middle of a fountain? smilies/rolleyes.gif

Thank you and good-night! smilies/wink.gif

I just clicked the link...

[Cuthalion]

In a fountain,eh? Well personally, I worship the pic Maika sent me. She is extremely beautiful and all mine!

[burrahobbit]

Less talking of pictures, more showing of pictures.

Is this the frog that you kissed Maikadilwen ? That might explain the frog kissing but not the standing in the middle of a fountain.

[Maikadilwen]

Mmmmmmmmmm.... Looks yummy! smilies/tongue.gif

[Neferchoirwen]

that frog seems to hypnotize me....

[Faye Took]

Lovely frog! Hehe

[Suldaledhel]

After much searching and coercing, a recent picture of my glorious self just happened to fall into my hands. It was a random, unexpected shot, but I managed to get half-a-grin up before the flash flashed.

(Remembering the hardships with trying to link a picture before, I will just post the url and the rest of you can copy/paste from there. Making me do all the work... geez.)

[Maikadilwen]

Hehe. Nice one. smilies/smile.gif

[Eärendil]

Er, it seems like I have to log in before I can see it..?

[burrahobbit]

Copy the URL into your browser.

[Eärendil]

I did. Doesn´t work. Silly computer...

[Neferchoirwen]

aww...adorable. If I'd have my own son, I want him to smile like that all the time...

coerce? you had to actually force someone into giving you the picture?
...anyhoo, it's really nice

[HerenIstarion]

Sul, where's your long (at least more than now) hair? smilies/wink.gif

[Suldaledhel]

Well during the last few weeks of school before the final exams, I decided that the mop was not the coolest style of hair (temperature-wise). So with the advent of summer, I meandered down to the local barbershop, had my luxurious locks hacked off, and it's been as you've seen ever since. I must say that it made the heat much more bearable, and thus it stayed.

And yes, I did have to coerce a relative to give me this picture. There are not many pictures of me in existence from within the last two years, and so my loving family tends to horde whatever they can find. Which is just as well, seeing as how I'm not overly fond of my own pictures, but there was a request to see my new appearance from a dear friend on the site. And so I labored to find a current picture of myself, and, finally getting my hands on one, I figured I might as well put it up on the general board. And here we are!

But alas! I now see that this post is completely off-topic. So in a last minute attempt to redeem myself, does anyone else have a picture of their glorious self that they wish to share?

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Yes, as a matter of fact:

That's as close to my true self as you need to get, methinks smilies/wink.gif.

[HerenIstarion]

nice beak that of yours smilies/smile.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Yes, well did you know I've ripped out the guts of no less than twenty-nine orcs with it up to date? Plus, I can use it for eating with. Terribly useful
