Alright, before I explain my new thread, let me confess that I can't sleep, so I came here. Gee, that could go under a thread called 101 reasons you know your obsessed with the BD's when... But we're not supposed to do list-y-ish things, so we won't do that.

Now, to the real purpose of this thread...(this came to me as I was lying there, trying to fall asleep...reason number 10 I'm obsessed!) We are going to make people's day. On this thread I want you to name some fellow Downers, and what your impressions of them are here. NO MEAN COMMENTS! Nothing like Airehirel is stupid, or she starts dumb threads! Even if it is true...lol...This is not a place to rant about someone's bad grammar or spelling or silly, childish ways. This is meant to be an uplifting experience.

Perhaps you can tell something funny you have noticed about them, or the reason you really like having them around. Maybe the reason why they are memorable to you. The people you mention do not have to be specific haunters of Middle Earth Mayhem, perhaps it is someone you've noticed on the Books or Movies forum, and you respect their opinions.

You can speak about someone who has already been mentioned. Again, as long as it is nice. Remember the old adage...if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Try not to make one word comments, as it could become list-y-ish, and we don't want to make the mod's upset! Oh, yes, and sucking up is quite alright here! (The Barrow-Wight is the greatest!) LOL, that's how I got such good grades in school, partly my own brains, and partly teachers pet...now you hate me...sorry.

You can also come back, and post as many times as you want, even about the same person if something else strikes you about them later on. And you may want to come back here often to see what others may say about you. Don't be sad if it seems no one is talking about you, perhaps they want to search that one thing you said, to make sure they get it right. Or perhaps, (like me!), they won't remember everyone their first time around!

But to keep this LotR related, which it must be, you also need to give a reason why you like a character or two (or more) so much, or why they are so memorable to you. They do not have to be in just the LotR books. It can be from the Hobbit, or any other LotR RELATED book. Unlike the first part, you can bash characters here. Just make sure your bash has some intellegence behind it. Don't say something like: Aragorn is a dork. And that's it...please explain WHY you think he's a dork. If you disagree with someone else's assessment of a character, please keep it to yourself. This is NOT a place for arguments. And please make a note beside the characters name like (book) because there are some Downers floating around with character names...wouldn't want to confuse them!

So here's the start!

Meela: What will always stick with me about Meela is her love of Denethor and Grima!! Two guys you'd think no one would love, and she loves them. Also, she seems to find really sadistic things amusing, and that amuses me!!

Rynoah: She loves Boromir! She started the whole Disco movement, THANKS!! She cracks me up!

Oddwen: I love the scenes that she comes up with on the Crazy Scenes with Pics thread! She is very prolific with her ideas!

Pippin: (from the book, of course) The thing that strikes me the most about him, right now anyway, is the fact that he loves his food and ale so much! I also love his silly innocence, which seems to get him in so much trouble!

Sam: (book) I love his loyalty. And the love he has for Frodo. It is very moving the way he cares for him so much. I know in today's society it can easily be misconstrued as a "gay" feeling, but I don't think that it is. It is probably more along the lines of a brotherly love, but an even deeper bond. It's beautiful!

These are mine for now!
