Welcome back, ruts... I was wondering where you'd gone off to!

Well... after a month with no Internet access, I finally managed to get myself verified and able to post.

Hello, everyone. I'm an 18 year old first year college student who is completely Middle Earth obsessed, though I'm interested mostly in the First Age. I'm a possible philosophy major with another obsession for languages, both real and invented.

Welcome, Elemmírë. I like your choice of name; I always thought it sounded pretty. And a Robert Frost fan, too, I see? Excellent taste.

Thanks, Encaitare.

I'm glad I finally figured out how to use accents... Quenya just doesn't look the same without it.

My 11th grade English teacher once showed that poem to the class, and I immediately went home and memorised it (8 lines is hardly difficult). It's one of my all time favourites. Well, I figure I can consider myself halfway sane until I lose it and start trying to memorise the Lay of Leithian...

Welcome Elemmírë to the downs! And welcome back ruts!

I will also have to think of a gruesome, yet honarable, death for myself.

Hello everybody!
I've always enjoyed the Barrow-Downs name translator, and since I always accessed it through Google, I only found out recently that there was a site attached to it!

As you can see, I'm a Muppets fan, but my love for Lord of the Rings far outstrips the Muppets any day. I also enjoy fantasy books, listening to music (I like movie soundtracks, o.a.r., Guster, Coldplay, and Evanescense), and writing.

It's great to be dead. I think that's such a great idea.

I was going to do something a little more Elvish for my user name, but then I couldn't think of anything.
