LOTR Sightings!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

We(my sister Lhunardawen and I) saw Nimloth planted on a subway station.

I knew it looked suspicious when the fare table said:

Tower of Ecthelion: PhP(that's Phillipine Peso)14.50

That's it, I guess.
->Elenrod

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Tower of Ecthelion: PhP(that's Phillipine Peso)14.50

lol, did it really say that??? (wait, i don't get it, am I being too gullible again?)

At a school basketball tournament, one team came on with jerseys that they designed themselves reading, "The Hobbitses", with all of the team numbers as 9. Needless to say, I cheered for them.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Is gullible the same as being tall, like "Gullible's Travels?"

Zip it, man. You're acting stupid again.

Yeah, I know.

Needless to say, I cheered for them.

Angband, who wouldn't. They're so short, they'll need all the cheer they could get to win.

That coming from a bloody fool at basketball.

Later days!
->Adam

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Hm. Being me, I have managed to attract a highly contagious infection, conjunctivitis, two days before some statewide exam... My point is, I now look like the orc captain who attacked Osgiliath in ROTK... You know, the one with the puffy eye...

[Orominuialwen]

Don't worry Lady Snickerdoodle. My friend only looks like OB when he has his hat and cape and sword on. The rest of the time he doesn't look like him.

[Finwe]

I saw (rather, heard) this new kid who was touring my school whose voice was exactly like Orlando Bloom's! I did a double-take in the middle of the hallway, right as I was going to my PE class, because I honestly thought that Orlando Bloom was at my school. The voice was identical!!!! Needless to say, I was really disappointed when I realized that it was a puny little blond kid who was talking, not Orli himself. *sighs*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Once, I looked in the mirror, and saw a Balrog, complete with the shadow-wings(or shadow-like-wings)! It was horrible. I thought Morgoth had revealed who I am and plans to destroy me.

Then I realise I've been looking at my reflection, complete with uncombed hair.

To say that your hair is uncombed would an understatement - the last time you combed your hair, Clinton was still president.

OK, OK.

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

Then I realise I've been looking at my reflection, complete with uncombed hair.

Welcome to my world, i spend hours on it... At least now I know how the elves feel.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Welcome to my world, i spend hours on it...

Ah, me too, I get very obsessive about my hair sometimes. OMG what is that? AAAH its a strand of hair on my sleeve IM GOING BALD!!! no, I am just kidding. no one wants to hear that anyway... *bangs head with keyboard to stop particularly rapid uninteligible chatter*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'm having this again:

I saw Hirgon, Halbarad, and Haldir roaming our school. Turns out I was having the "Hallucinate about dead people whose names start with H" day.

exept this time the letter is E: Eöl, Eledhwen, and Egalmoth.

Well, I think it looked like Egalmoth...

[Finwe]

I got double scared with knobs today.

I could have sworn that I saw three Hobbits at school, linking arms, dancing down the hallway, singing drinking songs at the top of their lungs.



That was after you had that bottle of black cherry soda. You were HALLUCINATING!!!! You were high on sugar!!!!



Oh, hush up, Fionwë!

[Nirvana II]

one of my friends named her daughter tar-miriel...aint that wacky?

[Finwe]

Now that is wacky! Even though I love the name "Miriel," I feel really sorry for that kid. She's going to get beaten up on the playground.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Look! Fionwë's here!

I can see.

BTW, people get high on sugar? I get high on pipeweed, but not on something as harmless as glucose.

It's because you've developed tolerance for the stuff. Such things are too mild for you.

Oh. OK.

She's going to get beaten up on the playground.

Why, Finwe? I know there might be a danger of drowning, but being beat up???

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

BTW, people get high on sugar?

Haha, OOH yeah, they do. I am very prone to sugar highs. My IM icon is this weird picture of a little guy with "sugar rush" underneath it. Same principle as blue smartie highs...


^^thats the sugar rush thing

[Everdawn]

I was at the hospital yesterday afternoon and I almost went nutso becuase there was a doctor who looked like Karl Urban. NOw to the normal fan it would be like..."hey that guys looks like Éomer." but if I was able to (in my crazy state and if I wasnt so tired) I probably would have followed him around the hospital until he called sercurity.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Enough sightings to make you question the seeming non-existence of Middle-earth.

The Setting

My mom's birthday. We - a bunch one short of a Fellowship - were wandering about the shores of the "mighty" Manila Bay.

The Sightings

1. We were in the car, looking for a parking space. I was looking outside, then I saw this.

Pub 1418

Now to a hapless ignorant, that wouldn't have elicited a comment, let alone a second look. I pointed to it, and said: "Wasn't that supposed to be '1420'?"

2. We were out of the car. I was blundering about the wide sidewalks, occasionally looking down. Then I stopped. There, in front of me, was Idril's emblem,

made of arkose sandstone and marble - don't ask: my course requires us taking up Geology -, probably 4 feet square. After overcoming awe, I moved on, only to be confronted by another emblem: Lúthien's.

"OK, this is weird," I said. Hey, what else could I say? So I walked on, expecting those two patterns just to be shown alternately. No. Elwë's emblem, this time.

Witty comment needed. Unfortunately, only I was there, probably the most unwitty commentator ever."

"Was the architect of this place an LotR fan?" Not exactly the most original comment.

3. Same sidewalk. Same gait. Different view. Remember the globe thingy Ar-Pharazôn built in Umbar, the one with the big poster that said

Pretty Maia kissed my butt!

Well, I saw about a hundred of those, scattered strategically all over the place. It clicked. There was a haven - actually a sea port - in sight. This was a bay. The Ar-Pharazôn victory sign was erected here. Was this the ancient bay of Belfalas?

I hit a lamp post, and collapsed. The last sentence I made up.

[Finwe]

Yup... it's possible to get high on sugar... Eru alone knows how many times I've done it...


Children can be little Orcses at times. Playground bullies tend to find any excuse to pick on or beat up littler kids. Having a name like Tar-Miriel (even though it's gorgeous and I love it) would probably make it ok in their book to beat a kid up.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

On an overcrowded subway today, I was squishing around trying not to fall on anyone or step on anyones feet, I came face to face with Grima. It was very scary. I started screaming, which made him scream back, which made other people close to us scream for no apparent reason, which made the rest of the train start screaming because everyone else was screaming. And then we all stopped and did the wave. And when the doors opened we all charged out screaming (again) "Forth Eorlingas!" or in the case of one small lady, "And this one's for my own Gaffer!" It was very cool.

Well, not really, but I did see Grima. *sigh* why is my life so boring?

[Sirithheruwen]

I took my sisters to Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen a couple days ago (bad movie - really bad movie) and I was reading the credits (weird obsession of mine) when I saw someone named Sean Borrums!!!!!

[warrenerd]

one day, at church, i saw this short, plump guy with long curly hair who looked exactly what i imagined sam to be when i read the book. he didn't look like sean astin though... though i did think that they casted samwise very well, of course.
~mumbling at the wall~

[Bekah]

I've met Peter Jackson. In New Zealand. It just wasn't the right Peter Jackson....different guy with the same name...

And there's this guy who can do Gollum's voice so well, it's just really amazing...

Um...I know POTC isn't LOTR, but Orlando Bloom is in both, so:

I've seen this guy who I couldn't have sworn was Captain Jack Sparrow. We were at a shared lunch thingy and I just sat there staring. He has the chocolate eyes, and black shoulder-length hair and a goatee (kind of like Jack with a haircut) and he even had a red bandanna on at the time. I met him three times after that, shook his hand and spoke to him on either the first or second night (I can't remember) and got his email address on the third (on the third he looked more like Roux from Chocolat - another Johnny Depp movie). He's Canadian and his name is Matt....and aside from his drop-dead gorgeous looks he has this great personality and wonderful relationship with God (something I don't have at the moment, but I know God is always there for me). Oh, and a girlfriend, and he's 25...if the Impact World Tour comes to where you (whoever's reading this) are, look out for usher Matt...

Okay. I've finished ranting about that.

These sightings are really weird....

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

P.S. I'm such a hypocrite. Look at my sig....

[galadriel'smaiden]

I really, really, I swear, no kidding, not glorifying myself, look like Galadriel.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

I like to think I look like Arwen (black hair but pale skin) but unfortunately thats only in the winter, before I've gotten a tan. Also my eyes are the wrong color, but I can always get color contacts I suppose... But I can do her voice well.

Hmm, this makes me seem delusional...

[Miriel Undomiel]

The other day at school, my class mate said out loud that it was freezing in the class room. So my teacher simply asked if she wanted him to set her on fire. Normally, after saying something like that, I would call him Denethor, but he is, and will always be, Frodo.
He doesn't look like Frodo (tall, almost no hair) but his name is Frode. So he's been Frodo for 3 years,now. No need to change that.

But sometimes I think my PE teacher might be possessed by Sauron...

Mìriel~

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Since some of you have been talking about what LotR character you look like, I've decided to join the fray.

I look like Ar-Pharazon. Really!

[Finwe]

You'll have to post a picture of yourself then... so I know whose picture I should put up on top of the bull's eye in archery practice.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I wouldn't want to do that. 'tis said in the ancient lore of Meneltarma the Tiny, my pictures are blessed by the Valar, so it is protected from flame, metal, and unsavoury comment.

Of course, I always wished I was the one protected....*sighs*

[Lhundulinwen]

Well, my dad has hobbit feet. As close as a human can get. Thankfully, he's taller and did not pass the weird feet on to me. Thank goodness! And one of my friends did her hair up all fancy for prom, and looked just like a young-ish Arwen with blonde hair. Odd thought, I know. And the only other one I can think of is a missionary that looked like the black Elrond. It was cool.

[Anorial]

A friend of mine is a teacher and says one of her fellow teachers looks like Strider/Aragorn. Says he's a jerk though so that sort of negates the thrill. She's madly in love...excuse me, obsessed...with Viggo so he must be a tremendous jerk!

[Mad Baggins]

My mother visited British Columbia and brought me back a little "Hobbit Hut". It was a little sculpture. But it wasn't a little round hobbit hole...it was an isosceles pyramid. Kind of like a little wedge of cheese, except wooden.

[Everdawn]

Saw a trailer for Van Helsing. And boy does Hugh have the look of Aragorn!

[Mad Baggins]

I went to the Agassiz Festival of the Arts today with my school bands and the judicator reminded me suspiciously of Billy Boyd. Of course, that was before he began spouting gibberish.

[Everdawn]

I saw Ian Holm in Hamlet, and i at once thought.. thats a very strange outfit Bilbo is wearing.
