Sounds good! I have no plans yet for either day.

Eönwë 01-26-2012 04:09 PM

I should have a few hours free.

Eönwë 02-17-2012 03:16 PM

*cough*

What about next Saturday?

Oddwen 02-25-2012 12:39 PM

I'll be on today for as long as I can stand this chair. Watching updates and installing software on my new lappy what has a new and fancy webcam (ooooo). Spiffy times.

Oddwen 03-31-2012 10:56 AM

Heyyyyyyy! It's been a loooooooong time you guys! Anyone want to do some Hobbit reading or silliness next weekend? I'll be available after 12:30ish MDT on Sat, a bit later on Sunday.

Aganzir 04-02-2012 04:36 AM

I shall ask my fellow Finns, the Czech and the normal English person I will be spending time with in the weekend.

Kath 04-02-2012 12:13 PM

The normal English person is up for this.

Oddwen 04-07-2012 12:52 PM

I'll be on for a while, then - hope to see some of you

Aganzir 04-08-2012 08:30 AM

Aa sorry we forgot all about this! :( Tonight make work though. I'll keep you informed.

Oddwen 10-06-2012 12:01 PM

Hey everyone! We're sort of skyping now - we have a couple possible readings planned depending on how many people join. Come wiiiithhh uuuuuus!

Oddwen 10-19-2012 04:29 PM

So we are probably gathering again tomorrow afternoon/evening. This time we will really, really, really co-operate to read some actual Tolkien. I can't promise it won't be using silly voices though.

Oddwen 11-03-2012 02:22 PM

Galadriel55, Hookbill and I are currently skyping. We haven't discussed Tolkien yet, but that can easily change. Come join us!

Galadriel55 12-15-2012 12:32 PM

Is anyone available now? There's a slim chance that there might actually be a reading today, and a good chance there will be lots of nonesense talk!

Galadriel55 12-15-2012 01:51 PM

Anyone?

Aganzir 01-03-2013 05:10 AM

Hey would anyone like to do a Skype reading today? Starting between 4-8 PM GMT would be optimal for us in Finland, but we're flexible. :)

Wait... so, starting around now? I think I might be able to do it a bit later. Like, a couple hours later. But I can't promise since I have no clue what I'm supposed to do during the day. I might be dragged off to someplace.

Aganzir 01-03-2013 10:58 AM

It will take us about an hour to get online - now it's cooking time!

I'm free for a couple hours starting now, which is, I think, when you're free too? Are you skyping from Lommy's skype? I'm trying to add her because hers is the only skype name I found.

Legate of Amon Lanc 01-03-2013 12:02 PM

I will be around, since I have just recovered my voice, so apart from an occassional cough there should be no problem with talking. Apparently, the Finnish-squad are all now eating, but will be present in a while after that.

We're free now, and we're using my account (scavengerlikeme). Will be online in five minutes.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 01-17-2013 09:54 PM

I have, unfortunately, missed the last few Skype sessions. :(

I was wondering when another one of these will be held. I will not be able to attend anything in the next two weeks, but after that I am open for any time. So, will we be planning another one of these soon?

Galadriel55 01-26-2013 12:44 PM

Would anyone be available later today? It looks like I'm going to be free in a couple hours, and I could use a good skype session. :)

Aganzir 01-26-2013 01:54 PM

I will, or well it depends on your definition of 'later'. I've stayed up waaay too long lately and I'd like to go to bed before 2 my time, which is in four hours.

I'm basically waiting for my dearest family to finally leave (they should do so before the hour is out) so that I can do whatever I want. But if you're pressed for time I can make myself available (ie hide in my room and lock the door) as soon as possible. Either way, my skype's turned on, so anytime.

Galadriel55 01-26-2013 03:23 PM

I am very much availabe by now. If anyone's around?... :Merisu:

Aganzir 01-26-2013 04:27 PM

Aw sorry I got distracted making babies with Dean O'Gorman on MorphThing. I'm online now.

Aganzir 01-26-2013 08:26 PM

Okay what was supposed to be a short reading call on my part is still going on. We have just concluded that after casting the Silmaril into the sea, Maglor went insane, grew a massive beard and started living in a forest. Singing Ding-a-dong dillo. Also, I put my headphones back on when Hookbill was just saying how he wants to be Durin III's pet, he can give him a shiny collar and everything.
He, Eönwë, G55 and I have also read lots of Tolkien poems in English, Finnish, Russian, Swedish, Hungarian, and Hebrew.

Don't forget that he also shrunk in the wash!

What wash?

One of Goldberry's cleaning days, probably.

That was quite cool. We should do it again.

I believe I was using my mind-reading powers to see what Agan was thinking. :p

It was a lot of fun! Tolkien's songs and poems are always a delight. I wish I knew more of them by heart. We had 'In Moria in Khazad-dum', 'Gil-Gallad', 'Old Tom Bombadil', and many Rohiric songs! We need to do this again some time!

Eönwë 02-18-2013 12:07 PM

Sooo...... :Merisu:

We have guests coming this afternoon, but they're here to see my parents, not me, so I might be available... :Merisu:

Aganzir 02-18-2013 04:12 PM

It's kind of late, but I have Lommy making a presentation and Kath & Hookbill reading in the kitchen, and if someone else is around right about now, they could probably be persuaded to do a reading. And, surprisingly, Legate seems to be online too. :p

Galadriel55 03-03-2013 12:07 PM

I have finished most of the work I have for today, and aside from a family event that may or may not take place I have nothing to do. So if anyone's around?... :Merisu:

Aganzir 03-03-2013 04:26 PM

I have some stuff to do but I'm technically here. Lommy and Legate say maybe.

Galadriel55 03-03-2013 05:18 PM

I'm around, and for some reason the messages I'm sending Agan via Skype don't want to be delivered, and when that happens usually they don't get delivered at all... So I'm here and hopefully will be able to communicate...

Edit: umm, never mind about being here. :( I have to go do some stuff around the house, but I'll check in regularly and if anyone's still around I'll join.

Aganzir 03-03-2013 07:52 PM

Because I wasn't online.

Sorry, I simply had too many things to do and now it's really late. :( Next time.

Galadriel55 03-16-2013 08:44 AM

Anyone around today? :Merisu:

Galadriel55 03-24-2013 11:06 AM

Are we going to do anything for Tolkien Reading Day? I'm on break, so I can do either today or tomorrow.

Galadriel55 03-25-2013 08:17 AM

Anyone?... :(
