Silmaril Giedd opens up

Really? I don't really have any repeats in my reps. I don't know if that's a good sign or a bad sign. :p

Silmaril Giedd's Change

*Looks* WOW! I did. I didn't notice that. I check the Reps in CP and saw a bunch more added, but I never really looked at how many boxes I had.

Well, I think that's a "Welcome Back" if I ever saw...

My entire reasoning behind my own declaration that I would not join a Tolkien-based religion is exactly that, Lhuna, as I said before. I said that I did not think Tolkien intended his works to form a...

Are you now a victim of this addicting thread too, Mister Underhill? I swear Fordim put an enchantment on it or something - even if I don't have anything to add, I keep being pulled back here.
