I can't find my old sig fairy! *sob* I grew so attactched to it! Oh well. If I find it, I'll post it.

I'm dumping this quote. It came off a Warsteiner label:

Why am I dumping it? Because the morons at Duke drink Natural Light without any regard for the transience of physical existence, and this quote only makes me sad anyway. Germany is far away now.

Nev, I'm pretty sure I saw your old fairy in the archives on http://www.amybrownart.com - they moved it off the main site.

My old signature -

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-diriel
o galadhremmin ennorath
Fanuilos, le linnathon

I see that you've replaced it with part of my favourite stanza from Ode to a Nightingale. Superb.

It seems we share more than nationality, Oh Vagrant of Fictional Mountains.

I FINALLY found my sig fairy! Here she is, in all her glory:

Ain't it gorgeous? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, here are my past signatures, or quotes, the one's that I can remember at least....

"Not all who wander are lost"
- J. R. R. Tolkien

"There is nothing more depressing than having everything and still feeling sad"
- Annonymous

"I am at an age were if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to"
- Einstein

"Why is it that nobody understands me and yet everybody likes me?"
- Einstein

"Its been a long road, getting from there to here, its been a long time, but my time is finaly near"
- Star Trek: Enterprise Theme Song

Lord of the Rings (Star Trek Style)
Three commbadges for the Vulcan-Masters under the sky,
Seven for the Klingon-Warriors in their Star-Ships of wrath,
Nine for brave Comanders doomed to die,
One for the Borg Queen on her destructive path,
In the Delta Quadrant where the shadows lie.
One commbadge to protect them all.
One commbadge to guide them.
One commbadge to hail them all and in the Universe bind them,
In the Delta Quadrant where the shadows lie.

Actually, a couple of those were not past signatures, I just thought that I would put up one or two interesting quotes.

i have decided to use my sig to promote something i care for with all my heart, the fight to save invader zim.
if you people only knew how much i loved that show [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee...

hmmm... old sigs

Nothing is an accident
we are free to have it all
we are what we want to be
Its in ourselves to Rise or Fall
-Radames (from the musical Aida)

"The Doom lies in yourself, not your name"

~Je Me Souvien- I remeber~

Here I lay to rest a quote that is too long for my sig, and I had to get rid of.

/\/\y |\|3w 51g r()x()r5 yur 5()x()r5
(translation: my new sig roxors your soxors)
(translation: my new sig rocks)

I hereby lay to rest my old signature that consisted of a greeting and a farewell...I've started a new thing: I'm going to have a quote of the month as my signature. It won't necessarily be Tolkien-related, although the 1st one is...

But: may

"Lissenen ar' maska'lalaith tenna' lye omentuvyn. Amin melon llie!
Melon,
Rachel
ri'
Menelduliniel Vatathra Taraana Melarduin"

rest in peace (FOREVER)!

i decided to give my old avatar to rest. now i have the irken invasion symbol...mauhahahaha...ahahahaha...ha.

Mine was very recently but now it isn't.

old sig's.....erm

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places, but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief,it grows perhaps the greater.

thats one of them. And I suppose soon this one will be an old sig, but it isnt yet

When you're all alone in the lands of forever, lay under the Milky Way. On and On, it's getting too late out; I'm not alone this time, this night

This is In Memorium not to my old quotes, but to my old avatar (with an honorable mention to Ulmo/Legalos/LegoIas for making it pretty, and to burrahobbit for hosting it).

Goodbye, my little coffee-addict alter ego.

K-k-k-k-k-k-kate, the Downs will never be the same again...

I am passing through the same kind of separation anxiety, Rimbaud, but I hope and pray that with a few of the right posts, or rather, lack thereof in my case, that this one will meld almost seamlessly into the Downs world of avatars.

I am off caffeine, now, anyway, and far be it from me to give the wrong impression of my character. My flawless, upstanding, good-looking, intelligent, and talented (I drew it myself!) character.

So...you were trying to draw me? It's not far off, I suppose...

Alas, there are no perfect reproductions.

Say hello to my new avatar.

Rimbaud, he's wonderful! If only he came with the little green felt collar. Nevertheless, he is quite a mesmerizing little guy. http://www.bertuccia.com/ikonboard/e...ove/love11.gif

I am replacing:
A wise woman once said, "One does not attend a banquet because one is hungry"

By the way, that wise woman was me! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Like Kate, this is merely to commemorate my current avatar, for it is being retired. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Farewell, Chameleon, you have served me well!

edit: hmm...it's a little bigger than I realised...

Rimbaud (et al) would you enlighten me?

hy do you call such pics avatars?

thanks

Avatar: An embodiment; Bodily manifestation

Like our sigs (only more so, because they do not depend on our posts to exist, and they tend to change less often), these little pictures define us to the rest of the community. One can go down a thread and find a specific poster just by looking at the little pictures under the names. Sometimes, the picture even gives us an idea (albeit a false one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]) of what the poster looks like, because we see it so often. I can look at nothing but the little picture and know who's speaking. It's like having a face to go with the words. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

thanks for info [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I just wondered why are you connecting it to Induism. Why not to say simply embodiment :rolleys:

well, kiddin. thanks, Susan

I also briefly had, "Honesty through parnoia"

I'm dropping this one off to rest:

"Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice, From what I tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire."

Then again, I might revive it later on. It fits me too well.

Since becoming a skeleton I've become more philosophical... therefore, I am retiring my "old" quote that just refers to my name:

"Flowers spring as she passes and open if she glances upon them; all birds sing at her coming..."

This one is a little more personal. And I'm surprised at myself, it not being a song lyric, which is the catagory most all of my other "quotes" fall into. It's from an actual BOOK. (shock!)

"If it would help you and if it were possible I would go down with you into Hell: but you cannot bring Hell into me."

There--so sayeth, it exists. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

-'Vana

Edit: Um. I changed it, but nothing happened. I think my sayeth is broken.

Edit: Never mind.

My old Quote
Some people are wise and Some are otherwise.

My old quote

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less.

My old quote: "Probably the saddest thing you will ever see is a mosquito sucking on a mummy. Forget it, little friend."

Random, true. But amusing when considered.

Ooh! Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey! I've seen that one!
I would post the link that used to be on my sig before, but sadly, I forgot about this topic when I changed it, so I don't remember it. But here's the general message: SAVE THE TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially since I read somewhere that scientists have said that there are only about 100 tigers still living in the wild of India (I think that was the place).

Here's my buried quit message from chat: Singularly appropriate for the Barrow-Downs, isn't it?!

And another appropriate chat quit that I am abandoning:

My best guy friend gave me The Lost Deep Thoughts for my birthday. Funniest thing I've ever read.

Okay, my first two signatures.....

1. And they lived happily ever after....at least for a day.
I say that after reading a story to my young girls, so they know realty is not always like that.

2."...'cause it's easier to try than to prove it can't be done".

From a Moody Blues song, "Blue World"

I realize that I don't change mine very often. I've changed quotes once & I've never changed my avatar (I like the little serving lass).
Here's my ex-quote:

"Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story". ~John Barth~

For a while, I had:
Night has brought to those who sleep/Only dreams they cannot keep/ I have legends in the deep/Paint the sky with stars
From, of course the wonderful Enya's Paint the Sky with Stars. I changed it now to a quote by the insecure, easily furiated, and extremely hilarious George Costanza from Seinfeld. (best TV show on Earth, by the way.)
I also have entered a doll contest for Miss Middle Earth, and my doll, Laurëloth Elhîth, is entered for Miss Mithlond. Please vote for her, if you think she is worthy.
