I am sure you will empathise, Mith, when I tell you that reading the Grimoire while playing DWW, and now looking at Nilp's sig, has made me pine for Ang again. He was going to co-mod your operatic WW at one point, wasn't he?

Ah yes, the other Downer, whose name would just not come to me a few moments ago, is The Only Real Estel. Funny guy.

Well, she has, as Mithalwen had said, found a life 'sustainable beyond the Downs' . . .

I've spent most of my time back at BD reading old threads . . . and remembering the old days.

Look at us, talking like a bunch of old forum members.

You are old forum members.

I hope I can get him at least to act as consultant still. Yes there are many whose presence on the Downs I miss - including Ang whose posts were utterly delightful - but have the consolation of knowing that they are ok and hopefully enjoying life through LJ and Facebook.

There is an extra poignancy about the absence of people you only know through the Down's.

I've said it many times, but I'm going to repeat myself:

The Barrow-Downs is the most fantastic web community I've ever come across. You guys are better than family.



I missed you too.

And I miss you, Rune Just passing by right now, but I'll pop by for some tea and biscuits some day soon, to see how you all behave in my absence!

Always nice to know that at least someone remembers me..

Hmmm

This is now the fourth day in a row that I've peeked in at the Downs (and using my own account too, rather than lurking as a guest...)

Perhaps it's time to roll up my sleeves and start a really good dust-up of some sort?

Gandalf: amoral manipulator or uncaring angelic guardian?

Smaug: was he really all that bad?

Gollum's "Slip" at the Crack of Doom: it just doesn't make sense!

...

CANONICITY!

I am sure that there is other people than me who looks forward to your return.

btw I don't have any biscuits, but I have plenty of tea and other liquids.

Ghostly, ethereal, and gorgeous though I may be... I'm here.

For about as long as it takes to play a werewolf game. I needed something to think critically about, you see. I get bored without things to occupy me. And you don't want to see me bored. Same way you don't want to see the Incredible Hulk... hungry.

Too many names and persons I learned to love and appreciate have gone indeed even if I'm a relative newbie still...

But there are also new people coming in - ones to become the household names and to become ones like those left. Like life it means coming and going; birth, blossoming and waning.

It leaves one with a quiet sadness of losing a friend but also with joy of meeting new people as a prospect of new friends.

I guess the internet-age is like this, just a bit faster our life-spans and real-life relations are (now I was betrayed to be the oldie I am!).

Miss you guys.
