FOURTH-GENERATION FORD TAURUS PICTURE

Greetings from the newest of the newbies
 

Hi! Call me Valandil. I hope to get to know some of you here and have some interesting discussions. This is my first day here. Recently I missed two weeks of work due to illness. I was so incredibly bored and restless that I decided to read a book, something I haven't done for pleasure since that pleasure was beaten out of me in graduate school. *grins* Well, I've had The Lord of the Rings on my shelf for.... wow, I don't even know.... so I decided to read it to pass the time. I read all 1000 plus pages, and less than halfway through I really couldn't believe I'd never bothered to read it when I was younger. I am sincerely impressed with Tolkien's work. I read The Hobbit (quite quickly... seemed to be a children's book) and now I'm working on The Simarillion (which is the exact opposite of The Hobbit in terms of reading difficulty, as I'm sure everyone here already knows). All the character names and new terms are a bit overwhelming, but I'm intrigued... I feel somewhat like a sponge soaking up very flavorful water. So, I'm happy to be here. Hello to all!

Welcome Valandil! hmm... somebody here has a name simmilar to yours but i can't but my finger on it...

If that is so I hope they see it as a coincidence and not a steal! ;)

Hey
 

I have returned from my South-American exile and are looking foreward to contribute to the BD. (please tell me that you noticed I was gone)

My rejoining is not as happy as I could have wished. Just one look on rep. table was enough to make me feel like weeping.

Now it is up to you my dear friends to tell me wich new threads I just have to check out. I have heard rumours about a race and some Idol competition, but surely there must be much more.

And now for the serious matter: Where is there a ww game I can join!

oh yeah, I missed you guys. . .

Rune!! We LOVE you!! Ummm...I mean....ug...nice to have you back my friend!! Seriously. If you're looking for a game to join, try Cailin in the original thread. Seriously though, it's nice t have yu back my friend, really nice to have you back! :D

I actually thought about adding (Not you Glirdan) in the end of my post!

Good thing I didn't, then I would have felt all alone and forgotten.

I am just joking and you know it. . . or should I beat you with an Orlando Bloom film, untill you get it ?

Rune! You're back! Good to see you again, how was South America?

It is good to see you as well.

South America was brilliant, especially Argentina and Buenos Aires was to my liking. The only major down side was the lack of knowledge they had about Tolkien and his work.

In Rio I met a man named Proudfoot and he lives 3 houses from where Tolkien used to live.

Oh the horror!! The HORROR!!! AHHH!!! :eek:

Now I'm envious...thanks a lot Rune!!

Oh, Rune, welcome back! :D

You have been missed.

I'm so glad to see you back. :) :)

Please Rune, give us some more credit... here's one Argentinean from Buenos Aires who knew about Tolkien!!

Ok, that was way off topic.... let's also welcome all the newbies since the last time I welcomed someone.

Hi there
 

Hi Downers! I'm a bit late with introducing myself, but I'm Taliesin. I've been reading a bit here and there on these forums for quite a while now, but it's time for me to make my very own first post and start posting aswell.

It's been a while since I read the Lord of the Rings books, but I really enjoyed reading them and following the discussions on these boards. :)
A bit about myself, I'm 18 years old and if everything goes right I just finished my last year on school. I really enjoy reading any kind of books, especially fantasy.
I'm also Cailin's bro!

Looking forward to my time here.
Taliesin ( previously known as Non-Cailin :smokin: )

Hey! Great to see you here under your own steam. Welcome to the Downs proper and have fun.

Don't worry, I'm sure that will stop haunting you soon enough :D

Thanks for the welcome :)!

Hah, just to make sure at least some people know a bit who I am :D.

Welcome Taliesin may your time here on The Barrow Downs be cold and unplesant!

oh yeah and do visit the Quiz Room.

Not exactly new
 

Hi, I used to post here under a different name. But after my e-mail expired and I lost my password, I can't access my old account. So now I'm "newly deceased" again!

Welcome everyone!

Little bro especially. :)

Speaking from a slightly different perspective on that game :rolleyes:, I think you did a wonderful job as a stand in and I am delighted that you have joined in your own right :D


Welcome.

whats up! I'm new and i'm obsessed with lord of the rings! :D i love animals and nature and am reading the fellowship right now! :)

Welcome, animeluvr181! Hope you enjoy your stay!

Warm welcome to Taliesin and Lindale the mystic ex-'downer too. :)

greetings animeluvr181, I hope you will enjoy you dead.

If you like the serious diskutions, then chek out the book discutions or if you like the more silly stuff, it could be that Crazy Captions is to your liking.

Well, it's been a few months, but I'm back too.

Silly school and wanting to graduate kept me away, but now I'm on vacation so I can post as much as I want. (Except when I'm working, which will be a fair amount, but other than that I'll be here.)

Hope you all missed me! :)

Nice to see you here Malkatoj.

I still dont understand how you avoided beeing lynched in the last ww game I participated, I told them you were a wolf right from the start.

I hope you once again shall get the chance to drop a tactical cheese nuke on my head.

malka . . . I'm sure I know that name but hmm.

Nah :p Good to have you back!

Well hello Malka!! I was wondering where you had gone off to. Nice to see you :)

Hey all, I used to frequent the downs some time ago. Due to me not having a computer it has been a while. It is a great site for any Tolkien fan. I've always found the users here to be highly informative, interesting, funny, and wise beyond their years. lol. Any ways, looking forward to spending time here. As far as me enjoying being newly deceased... well you can just call me Jerry Garcia cause I sure am Grateful to be Dead. lol. I'm looking forward to interesting conversations with you all. Take it easy.

Hey everyone, my name's Matt. I've been a Tolkien fanatic for some years now...I'm 19, and I've just discovered TheBarrowDowns.com. Great site! Hope to have some interesting conversations about LOTR/Tolkien.

welcome welcome welcome all around.

Ahhh! Seriously! Where are we getting all these sudden members!! :eek: It's hard to keep up!

Anyway, welcome to you all!! :D

Malka's back!? YAY! Malka's back!! Good. Another victim...I mean player that I can add to the list of invites... (malka, you shall find out soon what I mean). Welcome back my friend!! :D

I'm so weak, adding another forum to my list like this. But... allo all!

Yay Wyrm! Welcome to the dead side. :p

*nudges toward Mirth* You'll have a heck of a time.

well enjoy yourself here Wyrm, our antics are carzy and you should look into our Werewolf games

Wow! It's been a while since I've been here but I finally finished my first crazy year of school and stopped in. I'm going to try to stick around for a while but my summer job in NY has me soooooo busy. But werewolf looks really fun... I want to play a game, which is the main reason I came back.

Welcome back, TPotSS. You're in NY? Whereabouts? Upstate?

Wow, Fea, I forgot you were in NY too! I'm up next to Canada for the next few weeks. Lots of pine trees.
