HI joined the Downs in the most excellent month of September which is really cool/ironic because so many things in LotR happened in that month...

I presume he likes HP from his "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" and "Weasley is our King" sigs he's had. *grins*

I am of Viking descent, but I believe 'Bakke' is Norwegian. My first name is Russian, but that has almost nothing to do with my lineage.

Do Imladris!

Imladris likes SpiderMan and Harry Potter and has some pretty cool avatars. Me and her once got into an argument in the Reputations thread but we settled it peacefully without a cat fight.

One of her past signatures was "be excellent to each other. Party on, dudes", one of my favourite quotes ever

HI, you wrote about Diamond's location being 'over the hills and far away'. That used to be my location actually

Apologies in advance if Diamond had it too...

HerenIstarion · 08-20-2004, 05:04 AM

My memory failed me, than. My apologies, Evisse.

Since I'm not willing to swim contrary to my own stream of 'no less than ten posts in between', I will refrain from extended revision of Evisse's biography

and satisfy your curiosity with the brief note:

If 'over the hills and far away' were indeed drawn from Nightwish's song, than, like Diamond18, Evisse the Blue must also be 'connoisseur of fine rock music'

The participant after me, pray review Evisse the Blue, not yours truly

Tip: Nighwish released new album recently, under the name of Once. It may be a safe bet to say something along the following lines: Yestereve Evisse, being higher than hope, was enjoying some music and wishing she had an angel...

Respectfully kidding,

yours

Well, H-I, is a pal of mine who used to be involved in the Revised Silmarillion Project in the downs and hopefully has read and will comment on what we did on our Fall of Gondolin chapter.

Evisse the Blue · 08-20-2004, 10:34 AM

Gosh, HI, never joke like that again...

I wince at purple prose, but I appreciate the fact that you're yourself a connoisseur of Nightwish song titles.

Please do Maedhros next.

Diamond18 · 08-20-2004, 02:45 PM

Before I do Maedhros:

Sorry, H-I, I've never listened to Nightwish. (Except for some Amazon.com samples). You were indeed thinking of Evisse with that location line. My definition of "fine rock music" is a bit tongue in cheek, since I listen to a lot of alt rock which isn't supposed to be as highfalutin' as my phrasing.

Actually, I would love to have the screenname "Diamond20" and would gladly keep it even after I turn 21, since I am after all a fan of Matchbox 20.

However, I might confuse people with the change, so being forever young is not bad either.

And exactly ten posts have elapsed since I last posted!

Maedhros

His birthday is December 10th, but he does not divulge the year. Could he be older trying to appear younger or younger wanting to be older? Or ageless? Hmmmmm....

He averages .65 posts per day, and has started 29 threads. He appears to be actively involved in the Revised Silmarillion Project. He also may be lacking one hand.
