Formendacil-40s, grizzled beard, pedantic, (as are the best of us)

This is owed-

Holbytlass-stunning vision of ethereal beauty with fountain of light brown hair, soft, forgiving eyes, dressed in white, with a long train held by ninety-eight adoring suitors...ageless, could be in tender youth or well kept peak of beauty...causes strong, faithful married men to burst into hopeless streams of tears...faultless conduct...marvellous singing voice...

And I owe it all to this admirable Ent who helped me escape. And Perky is not as everyone thinks, a teenager, but a real live Ent with a Balrog mask he uses when he wants to go into evil mode.

OH MY GOSH!! If your aim was to get me back for making you blush, you have succeeded! Last night at dinner, Mr. Holby did wonder why there was a grin on my face and a pep in my step. Nothing like a compliment to make ones day. I do appreciate the beautious vision you have bestowed upon me, but do you realize I can never now put my picture in the photopage.

Anguirel as a... peer? Dear Lord! what have you done? Now they'll expect intelligent posts from me too.

Seriously, that's just... odd. Mind-Ang was 30. And since I've started, he had jet black hair and a constant sombre, solemn look, with quite pale skin and therefore visible stubble.

Estelyn, Bethberry, and The Saucepan Man all sit in the entmoot, and each have a 20 inch binder named 'Every ounce of Tolkien you'll need to impress people with your knowlege'. They go around in a circle reading from it in Entish. There's a computer sitting in the center, and they go around, dumbfounding the ents in the downs with their knowlege!

TGWBS...very amusing, your present picture of me.

I have one picture to draw for you...but it's pretty much from his own writing.

Fordim Hedgethistle - A hobbit. But not any hobbit. A very short hobbit. (Really, you all should read his stuff in the Green Dragon, it's quite hilarious.) And he wears humongous boots, and for some reason, I see red boots. Red boots with the hat that his Avator has. (I hope that I'm thinking of the right Avator.) He's got a serious face for a hobbit...

I know it's not possibly how you look, Fordim, but your character there at the Dragon is so easily picked up on that that's how I see you now. Sorry.

Boromir88 is now Jeff, the host from Survivior, in my mind. But a less annoying Jeff, with a better sense of humour.

Whoa, I always thought Ang was closer to his mid-upper thirties as well...

Holbytlass has long black hair and can best be described as spunky. Though she might not have the most natural talent, she makes up for it with hard work. She has an excellent sense of humor and many friends.

Most everyone thinks I should have reddish hair... maybe I should dye it.

Anguirel? 16? No way! You are at least 18 in my mind!

Call me weird, but Formendacil and Anguirel look alike for me.

No!!

It cannot be!

I am a unique individual. I am!!

My mental images of people tend to start out based on their avatars or usernames, then grow to encompass some strangenesses that are somehow connected to their posts, and then shift somewhat again when you learn/see what they actually look like.

To take Hookbill, for example, he originally started out, in my mind, as a thirties-ish, married, with two kids, goof- from somewhere in the southern States.

He then progressed to lose the kids (in my mental estimation), lose the wife, acquire a girlfriend, as well as about 50 lbs, and move up to New York.

Upon reception and/or distortion of the facts, Hookbill again moved, to somewhere in London, England. He lost the girlfriend, gained back about 20 lbs, and reset the clock back to 18ish...

He's still a goof, though...
