RIP my old sig (which I've had since about Christmas, so nearly since I joined the Downs) *sniff*:

'Hope, compassion, and wisdom born of experience are...the mightiest weapons at hand.' - Viggo Mortensen

I would include my previous Pirates of the Caribbean quote but as I only had it for a day or two, I don't think I will.

This quote from "Orange County" had raised a couple of eyebrows:

~Do you want me to get naked and start the revolution?~

I am happy to report that the revolution is well on its way.

Well I am now laying to rest my quote of...
"Someday your prince will come. Mine got lost, took a wrong turn, and is too stubborn to ask for directions."

Even though it perfectly discribes my current dating situation. It is time for it to go, it has been here for way too long. To this quote I say "Good Bye" [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Alas! I must lay my old signature aside! Farewell, old sig!

Now for something a little different....

My namesake's devastating analysis of what constitutes poetry, and the echo of many later greats:

Je est un autre

I lay to rest, from restlessness, not dissatisfaction.

My two latest discarded sigs:

Also, a Linin Par (sorry, a few letters aren't woring just now) quote which I can't remember at the moment.

Swan song,
-Menelien

Good old Steven Wright.
The newest one is from an Irish children's song. The translation is 'Seaweed from the yellow cliff/ Irish seaweed.'
Nice bit of randomness there. I just need to find one to stick with...I've not yet found anything that truly fits me to the point of being around for awhile, and I doubt this one will be either. Ah well. I suppose it's doomed.
Peace

on old and original one.

I would have kept it on for far longer I think, but the 3 line rule would have necessitated pruning which I did not think it could weather...

I am discarding already my newest sig... Lovely song, but I'm going to put in something from Interview With the Vampire instead...

Swan song,
-Menelien

GaladrielOfTheOlden,

This is not an admonishment, just a thought....

In the last six months you are in this thread no less than a dozen times. That's approximately once every two weeks. www.dictionary.com defines a signature as, among other things, A distinctive mark, characteristic, or sound indicating identity. You are apparently in the middle of an extended identity crisis. Though I and others I am sure, appreciate the materials you choose for your signatures, I think it might by beneficial for you to actually sit back and choose something for your signature that truly represents you as a whole, not just for today. That's not to say that a signature is supposed to represent a person's eternal mission statement, but I think that by turning it a phrase-of-the-week it becomes meaningless in the end.

Sorry, point taken...

Swan song,
-Menelien

I kept this one for quite a while, but I decided it was time for a change so, goodbye to this lovely little quote.

I may bring it back later, it is one of my favorite quotes, being one I made up myself.

Edit: And goodbye to this as well:

Stop the presses, I've changed my sig. I think this has been my favorite one so far, it's a couple lines from two different songs by MB20. It was very "me", but after a few months I figured no one even reads an old sig anymore. So RIP.

The new Jane Austen one is very me too... not that I'm actually successful in my little fantasy, but hey! I can dream.

Goodbye, Dr. Seuss:

I imagine a Hakken-Krak to be a rich, white, frat-boy, btw. You know the type.

Down comes the two part quote; up comes Great Big Sea!

I am now ditching my latest siggy:

You can still ask about my theories, I just took it out of my siggy. (been getting buried in PMs lately)

Well, it was about time I took another siggie. So it's RIP to this one:

And now I'm here, lets lay my very first siggie to rest to:

*Lays down some roses* Rest in peace. I'll miss you! *sob*

Navaer! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Aethelwine.

Time to retire one of my favorite quotes for a new quote I came across recently. Goodbye old sig:

'Tis sad, but I must get rid of my first siggy...

I wish it well. *tears* I loved you, almighty humorous sentence! But the time has come for a change. Oh the drama!

I recently said goodbye to my beloved signature…
But I felt it was time to say good bye and say hello to one that suits be better [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
It makes me giggle and it kind of tells you what person I am [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

~Niluial

Goodbye to my signature of several months:

Time for a shorter, more appropriate sig, I think. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

-Aylwen

As I really liked my previous signature, I felt it deserved to be written down somewhere, even though it didn't last long.
EDIT: You would think I'd learn to type soon...

I make my triumphant return to the posting world with a change of signatures. Here's my old one: I'm returning to my old, beloved Galadriel quote. Huzzah!

Sadly, I've forgotten lately that signatures should last more than a few days. Therefore, I won't list all the great quotes I've sorted through in the past few weeks, instead I'll say farewell to the one most pertinent to my life right now:

Love that quote, [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Iarwain

Ah! The Scottish Play! Not one of my favourites, but wonderful all the same. My friend played Lady Mac****, dear Erin. She was wonderful.

Anyway, to business. I changed mine long ago, perhaps before I even had a chance to post more than once.

-King Claudius, William Shakespeare's Hamlet

My line! And a good one at that!

I am finally and reluctlantly letting go of Nemi's slightly pessimistic poem about the unhappy moth *sniffs* RIP [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
The new sig is a lot happier - those you who understand it might even be so Norwegian that you know where the quote comes from [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I've decided to retire my old siggy, and pick up one in the "Eenie, meanie..." series.

(I really liked that scene with Gandalf and Theoden.)

This is from No Excuses, by Alice in Chains.

RIP my PotC quote (with slight changes):

Norrington: 'You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I have ever heard of.'
Jack: 'Yes, but you have heard of me.'

I'm going to abandon this one, goodbye Oh well, I didn't like it anyway.

Another, another. I fear I'm too inpatient to keep one signature for more than one month. Ah well.

I shed a tear for:

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

Tolkien is a brilliant, brilliant man.

I got tired of having my siggy sometimes be longer than my post, so I decided to use something much shorter. RIP!

The first few lines of one of my favorite songs.

I laid this one to rest quite a while ago, after BW decided Elronds Guestbook had gone too far.. (anyone remember that? Anyone? Oh well, my ex-siggy speaks for itself...)



Yah, I know. Long siggy...

This quote attributed to Mae West measured up to my standards:

"It's not the men in my life-it's the life in my men"

Too bad I am listening to a lot of rap right now, and appear to have major ADD.

Ai, Farewell my (somewhat) new sig

and while we're here we may as well farewell one of our favourite quotes

And time to add one of the funniest (and Truest) things I have heard lately

Keep doing the Wave people *waves*

---------------------------------------------

Niiiiiiiiiii!!!!

From, of course, Interview With the Vampire... Had it for a pretty long time, decided it's time for it to die. And another sig which I had only for a few days before deciding I didn't want it:
All exchanged for a Queen of the Damned Quote. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

-Menelien

I'm temporarily disposing of this siggie:

I still loving it, and it's so true, so true even for life, so I'll probable be taking it up again soon. Like during the countdown for ROTK.

But right now, my new siggie is much more appropriate, 'cause I feal like the master of doom myself.

Luff ya all!

Aethelwine.

I'm so sick of that wave..

I changed it this morning, so goodbye former quote.

By me, I pulled it from a blog entry of mine.

A story told through time here.

I went looking for the garden of my mother and lo! I found my own.

Never speak to women/unless you speak of flowers,
illustrate your garden/ and walk with them past fountains
but never let them carry your secrets/ they are lapses.

The dead leave us starving with mouths full of love.

For time has not seen her
Thus all the keener.

Mother is the name of God in the lips and hearts of all children.

Death ends a life but not a relationship.

The plot currently unfolds with this:

The sky had never seemed so sky, the world had never seemed so world ....Nothing ... had ever been so interesting .

I now lay to rest the following quote.
It served me well, but the Latin trend seems to have passed, and none of the newbies get it. Ah well, onwards and outwards!
