No, she didn't. I just have a good taste. And don't be fooled by the colours, the dress is greener than it looks like in picture.

Thank you very much.

Oh no...

d) dressing like that every day?
e) something else, what?

a) With him? Come on...
b) Too funny, we would be first ones to drop out although we did fine in the end, however hopeless we were in the dance practises at times...
c) Well, you should have seen me when I borrowed my mum's long black coat and had a scarf around my head... (actually I might have a pic somewhere)
d) You know, I could. I love the dress. And although it does not show in the picture, I had real ivy in my hair and it was just awesome.
e) The correct answer. In Finland, we upper secondary second graders have this ball (except that it's more like a performance than a ball, since we just learn the dances and perform to the other students and later to parents) to celebrate the fact that we are to be the eldest of the school. Due to the abnormal girl-boy ratio in our school, at least half of the girls dance with guys from other schools or with first or third graders or with other girls... I was lucky to have this certain first-grader friend...

Ha, I just noticed that there's also a picture of Volo and Kath up. You have a lovely coat, Kath.

I would have asked the same - in any case, they are really nice with it. But you are all beautiful.
Volo, your expression right at the moment could be interpreted as "high-class" one (although you were probably just smiling, were you?) - "Yes, I can tell you that Cornfoot's bank has just signed the contract with us. - Jean, please take care of the car, okay?"

Really - I was wondering if it's blue at first. It's the lighting...

Actually, "classy" was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture.

[Mithalwen]

Tsk tsk, just remember that anyone who says "classy" isn't


Sorry, I can't help it, it is a "motherism"... and she never thought I was listening to her

Thanks Agan! I'm a fan of it, and it means people remember me. Twice this week I've gone into a shop to pick something up and they've gone 'ah yes the blue coat, right this way'.

Yes, whoa, but this photo reminds me veeery much of some movie! But I which? I can't remember now, but really it reminds me of something!

Hopefully not a horror film. My mum said Volo looks like my long-lost brother or something so maybe it's one of those kinds of films.

[Volo]

Thank you for everything good and even more thanks for everything funny!

Haha! I have trouble with smiling ok and that just happened to be the best picture otherwise. (and anyway, my manservant would have been called Igor...)

:S Wierd, everybody seems to know somebody who looks like me/feels like me... On the other hand I was told today by my dear male step-parent that I look and act too scary and that soon people with little kids will start complaining about their little ones getting traumatic experiences from just seeing me. Whatever.

Sure thing, done. No problem at all!

[Thinlómien]

Now Aganzir is officially half-dwarf, half-leopard. Seriously, I like the pic.

Alatar - that pic is quite aww-y.

Did I say that aloud yesterday or are our minds scarily alike?

Thank you. And that comment about Volo made me laugh - if you ask me, he's just having an uncharacteristic silly smile...

Speaking of smiles, I just realised I'm having my trademark smile in that picture: the corners of my mouth are actually going downwards, not upwards, like with normal people when they smile. And the funniest thing is that Volo seems to have adopted the expression too...

Oh no, definitely not I am not sure... I will tell you surely when I see it

Oh, sure... sorry for the inconvinience

Ah, so at last!!! At last you will reveal yourself to the Jedi, at last you will have revenge? Agan, you actually look very "in-environment appropriate", like from some Nordic tale - also it looks like you are going to transform into a raven in the next moment and fly away. But actually now that I see you clearly, I was right - you LOOK like Nienor!

[Nerwen]

That's a great dress, Lommy! It looks totally black on my screen, though, so I didn't think you'd be getting married.

Volo looks awfully smug.

Doesn't she? Positively eerie.

Ah, so that's you being attacked by the troll. I've been wondering who it was.

I think I rather adopted your holding the chin too high.

edit: Xd. :S

Indeed, I always do that in photos and that is probably the only one I've seen this far in which it does not look disastrous... but I think it's just the thing that makes the pic funny...
