Lovely, Lalwendë. That's exactly how I want to imagine you and davem.

Maybe I'll send in a picture eventually... if I can find a recent one that I like. I seem to look younger than I actually am in most of my pictures - which is odd because I am told that I actually look older than I am. :rolleyes: So I'll see what I can do.

Besides, I rather like the stereotype of me having red hair. :D

Excellent Tig! Thank you! This will be fun. :D:cool:

:D :p
Let me tell you about that pic... I bid and won a cam on ebay christmas night, and I had just gotten it so I'm playing around with it, and suddenly *FLASH* and I'm blind. I was suprised the pic turned out so well.

my long lost pa ;)

I love the page :D great work :smokin:

I'll be doing another update tonight (since I'm home sick from work), so I'll post any pictures posted here or sent to me via email then (including those who sent me new pictures to swap for the ones already there).
Keep 'em coming :)

A little advice from someone who knows that most advice goes unheeded, as I was there too. But anyway, don't settle!!

I was about to, as I was tired of seeing all of the great gals hanging on the arms of men who treated them poorly. Anyway, used to complain about the women that I wasn't really into dating, and my carpooler, who was hot but definitely not my type, nor I hers, used to cry about her boyfriend who was a real jerk.

One day something went 'ding!,' and we realized that the person that we were dreaming about was seated next to us every day. Some hard work, sacrifices, and a few scares came our way, but it all worked out - we've been married for ages, have three little ones and couldn't be happier.

Don't settle!

I'll try and get a pic of the mighty Gil-galad for you of course...all my fans will be wondering 'What does the man behind the awesomeness look-like?'

great job again Tig

Get better soon (if you want to, that is- some people would rather be sick than at work).
That's great advice, alatar, but don't get everyones' hopes up. There just aren't enough Phantom-level lads and lasses around for everyone to get one.

Oh don't worry, alatar, if I was a settler then I'd have been taken long ago... but alas, I guess I'm picky.

Ok, so I didn't get to update tonight as planned. For some reason the server was down.. at least the webhosting control panel was. Last I checked the page was still there. It's weird, though, this is the first time that I've had a problem with Yahoo. Let us hope that it's back online soon so that I can update :)

Hmmm...I definitely hit the lottery when I met my wife, but to this day I could never figure out what she's doing with me.

Must be my purported knowledge of LOTR...;)

I just sent you my picture, Tig.

I sent you a new picture, Tigerlilly: if you could put that up in the place of the other one, I would be most grateful. Hope you feel better soon. :)

Disillusionment!
 

Oh! My mental image of lmp has just been shattered into a million-billion pieces. I never pictured him with a beard! Oh well, it makes him look more down-to-earth than I’d imagined him to look and that is O.K.! ;) :D :)

I have to say I agree with Kuruharan....I always pictured him as...well, as Fleweddur Fflam to be entirely honest....

*cough*

Excellent work Tigerlily!

I think everyone looks cool! Except me, just ignore me.

Is anyone else of the opinion that this has sort of ruined the "How do you imagine the other B-downers" thread. :p

I wouldn't say so, actually - even since Alk's creation of the first picture page, I've still had quite set images of people, even if they don't conform with the real appearances. You might imagine them as RPG characters, or as some aspect of their avatar, or according to something particular that they've said or just the general way in which they speak - the pictures just give another aspect, I suppose. Careful how you chose your avatar in particular, because they can become a person's image almost as easily: Estelyn Telcontar will always be Princess Fiona from Shrek! Similarly, Durelin will always be fixed as the avatar that she had for a rather lengthy period of time - a rather spooky, downright evil looking spirity style thing, which I actually set as my desktop and xanga background for a while, it was just so mysterious and fantastic. And if that means that some people imagine me as a little dancing imp...

Usernames are probably the one image-creator that we can't get away from, and more so if your avatar fits it! If the character is one from one of the films, it's somewhat natural to image you as that actor or actress - Eomer of the Rohirrim will always be Brad wotsit to me ;) Even if your character isn't a film one, due to the many illustrations of Tolkien characters there have been over the years, in books, exhibitions and the internet, if you have a well enough known character, there's bound to be some illustration that will be set to your name eventually - Luthien_tinuviel is a prime example.

If I don't know the Downer well when you first see their picture, or not well enough to have built up an image in your head, the photograph becomes their image in my mind; but every person who I remember having been through the Green Dragon, unless I get to know them better or play with them later, is basically stuck with that image! Snowdog, for example: sure, I've now seen what he really looks like - but the name Snowdog still conjures up a shady looking cloaked individual smoking a pipe in the corner of the Green Dragon. The real appearances of some Downers doesn't change my mental image of them :)

That's not LMP! :eek:

I can't make myself believe it. The image of an Indiana Jones-esque professor with tawny brown hair and no beard will never get out of my head.

Fordim is Indie in the action scenes, LMP is Indie while he's in his dingy little office grading papers. Those two images will never be changed.

Aman, Karl - right? ;) Alas, he is far too handsome for me.

Hookbill, that's just what I was thinking. Now that I remember a post I made about Lalwende, I'll be interested to see how purple mist can wear a wedding dress. :eek:

Eomer, the attachment here is just to satisfy your curiosity... ;)

Is it just me or does anyone else think that if you mixed the faces of Snowdog and alkanoonion you would get a pretty good PJ impersonation? Don't take offense at that guys - this may be the sugar rush talking!

Oh and H-I I feel that I have to apologise as for months I thought you were female! No idea why. But obviously you are not, you have a great bandana there and you are pretty cute!

No offense taken! :smokin: If I was a half of PJ, I could fix half of what I found wrong with the movies!


As it should be! The image I was going for in the Green Dragon was that of Aragorn and the glow of his pipe. I guess it worked?
I have some pics of me in costume at Trilogy Tuesday in Dec 2003... I'll have to look for them.

Oh yeah... don't settle!

No matter what, I will still envision lmp like the little guy in his avatar... a smallish, wise sort of fellow with a green-blue hood and cloak, traveling around and dispersing wisdom.

Another update... I've added 5 new pictures :) 5 new people have been unmasked... haha.

Thanks doll, it looks great. This is only the second time that my appearance has been released on the Net.

Fea, are you going to be asking to borrow some money from me soon??

I get a real Princess Leia in the waste disposal unit feel from your piccy.

my, my
 

According to the phantom's own rantings, he looks "darn good in a tux." I'm inclined to agree......

Eomer - Karl? Oh, yes, Karl...of course...*waves hands vaguely* ;)

No, I never would have guessed it! ;) You could say that - I am currently looking for your first post *shifty eyes* Ah, gotcha! Sometime in July 2003... And indeed, ale, pipe weed, shadowy cloak and all, Silvanis is apparently Aragorn's doppelganger ;)

Quite frankly, Eddy, I think most of the ladies here are inclined to agree.

This is true.

The page will soon be graced with a photo of yours truly. Note that I said soon, not immediately.... <mutters> I simply must get that roll of film developed.....

That's okay Eddy... the page will soon be graced with the same picture of me as is already there, only instead of digital it will have been developed in the dark room (with negatives and techniques created by yours truly). It *should* have won best in show, in my not-so-humble opinion, but since something else of mine won, I can't really complain, now can I? But since it's chilling in my portfolio (at school) right now, and I won't actually be in school until Tuesday... you see how it goes.

That’s as maybe, Fea, but will you have a guest appearance from a Mythological person? :D

Weren't you aware, Hookbill? I am that Mythological person. :cool:

good news, i'm going to be getting a picture of me up either today or tomorrow, but i might have to edit it a little bit...(i have a cold)

Oh yes, very good. Give yourself a trophy.

I already have. ;)

Hey, James Bond is on the Barrowdowns......o wait - 'tis the phantom. :smokin:

Far better than Connery, and such a ladies man. ;)

And tp, ironic he should say that, yes?

Not really ironic Fea, I am merely able to read your thoughts.

This picture gallery is confusing me slightly, because I am hopeless with ages. Hookbill and Aman for example, how old are they?

I was thinking about getting a picture done on the grass but Aina has ruined the novelty of that. I'd better get thinking again. Also, interesting to see those Downers holding an action figure; I think I shall resist the temptation to fit my Eomer figure in the pic though!

Because this will very quickly turn into a competition: who has the coolest pic. :rolleyes:

Of course it will. I'll win. That's just the way it goes. You'll understand when you see the *other* version of my already cool picture.

But quite frankly, I just so happen to think that the coolest one of us would be Tig, for doing such a wiz-bang job in making the site. :cool:

Actually, those weren't my words. You can find out who the brilliant, lovely person who said that was by clicking here.

And thanks for agreeing. ;)
You two aren't buttering me up to ask for a favor now, are you? :p
Yes, indeed. I always refer to that pic as my "James Bond Picture".
If you send one in of you holding bagpipes and wearing a kilt, that would be extremely cool.
Right.

*applause for Tig*
