Glasgow, Scotland. I've only seen 2 other fellow scots in here, I'm going to have to start dragging my friends in here and educating them about LotR.

Um, I have viking blood somewhere.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
anywho, I need to dispell some misconceptions despite my location below. I live on the West coast of USA, in the Pacific Northwest, more specifically Oregon. I wish lived in Ireland, Britain, The Netherlands, and I was full blooded Irish/scottish( am only partial).I think at one point some one thought I was french, hmmm. That is what people have assumed of me, maybe it is those darn good lookin' words I seem to write.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Need to bust a move and go raid some villages...

I'm also from Oregon - the Willamette Valley. I've always thought of this part of the country as very close to Middle-earth. The lush forests, the farmlands in the valles, the rushing rivers - we even have Angband in the North ( industrialized Portland with it's mechanical dragon MAX snaking through it) and Mordor in the South (the polluted areas of Medford and its surrounds). And the evil and easily corrupted peoples of the far south come from you know where! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

That is cool to find someone else from Oregon, northern valley or southern? I live in a college town, hence college student.

*Screeches "Yeeeehaaaaw" and empties her six-shooter in the air*..."LaurinaAinur is frum Tay-ux-as!" Just for the record, 'y'all', I utterly abhorr cowboys. 'Nuff said. I am of the firm opinion that there is absolutely no reason to live in Texas unless you are in or near the D/FW are...*turns a slight shade of green while looking at Nevfeniel* I am moving as soon as I finish my year of community college which I started...*scratches head*...why did I start? I am considering Australia for a few years...then maybe Ireland...or maybe...I dunno.

I'm from Texas! Where I live, you don't see many cowboys and I don't really go for the whole cowboy scene, BUT, Don't trash Texas! We Texan's are proud of who and what we are! As we jokingly put it, "Thems fight'n words"! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Texas is so big that you can find a wide variety of things going on all at the same time! They always seem to make us look stupid, or hickish, or whatever in the movies. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Oh well, we're strong here. We will survive!

I am from the Southwest... of Idaho, that is. We're famous for our potatoes. I don't like potatoes. We should be famous for Sun Valley, skiing and gems. I like all three of those things. You think NC is Hickville? Try living in a state with a poulation of less than one million statewide and being famous for overgrown, edible roots. Our downtown is about five buildings big. And that's Boise. Everywhere else is a TOWN that's about five buildings big. The rest is barren desert and mountains. *Bursts into tears* I hate Idaho! I wanna leave as soon as I graduate!

Do not feel alone, Ith, as I have grown up in the rural communities. Often time still considered a village because we have only about 700 inhabitants and growing smaller.

I'm from a small country in the middle of Europe called Austria.
And as far as I know, there has never been anyone else from Austria in the Forum. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I am from Olympia Washington, which is one hour south of Seattle. We are the capital of the state (yes, Olympia is the Capital of Washington State, NOT Seattle!) it is a good place to live, though it is kind of rainy sometimes, and all we are famous for is coffee and computers.

I'm from the state of Michigan in the USA. Can't tell you where, though! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I've lived here my whole life, and have only traveled to Ohio and Canada. Exciting, huh? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I might be going to Pennsylvania and Ohio this summer for Medieval/Renaissance Faires, as I'm part of a re-enactment and swordfighting group called The Steel Ravens. We were going to go to Virginia but that's just too far away with everything else we're doing this summer... Toodles! ~TolkienGurl the Hungry Hobbit

London. It's a bit depressing to hear of all these wonderful places when you live in the suburbs and commute into town each day on a manifestly sub-standard public transport system.
Still, I suppose the grass is always greener ... Balin999, I shall be visiting your country next week. I hope the snow's good. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm in Fredericksburg, Virginia. (USA) I love it here. Trees, trees trees and hills and mountains AND seasons and snow and....
I'm happy because I grew up in Florida. Stupid palms, flat land, no seasons, no snow [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] . And it smells! I didn't realize it till I left and came back for a visit. I guess it can't be helped with all that swamp land. And no I didn't go to the beach everyday. [ February 07, 2003: Message edited by: hobbitlass ]

hi everyone. im from Kent in England. i live in a town called Chatham, and the girls from our town are known as 'Chavs'.
a Chav must include the following: - massive fake gold earrings (usually hoops with a ball on them - no hairbrsuh (they just throw up their hair and look a state, but they think they look good - they must at least once go into mcdonalds or burger king and ask for a cheese burger, but without the cheese - have a clown necklace (a moveable gold clown usually, although may strtch to a doll) - lastly, they must wear as much make up as humanly possible (but they still look ugly) my school is full of these people, and everywhere you go in chatham, you are garenteed to see one! |

I'm from South Louisiana--I'm a Cajun. I don't see anyone else from Louisiana. I don't know any other LOTR fans in my area. Except my brother, but he's mainly into Everquest. I love where I live anyway. I just wish I weren't in such a minority.

I myself am from Renton Washington which is fairly close to Seattle. I'm pretty new to the Barrow Downs so I don't know to many people, but it's awesome to see where everyone is from!

Saucepan, that's in Salzburg. You'll have a lot of traffic jams. I had to travel for two horus on the road yesterday, and all the time they were saying how many traffic jams there were in Salzburg. Good Luck and have fun there!
