What do you mean with 'enjoy being dead'?

Erm, since we're all on the Barrow Downs, we tend to think of ourselves as lesser wights who are slaves to the great Barrow Wight. The fact is, all wights are the ghosts of deceased persuns... however, it's nothing to complain about. My post-mortem is much more fun than my life was, I assure you, and I'm quite sure yours will be too, as long as you adhere to the policies of the forum. Have a nice afterlife!

Ithaeliel, it's good to see you back around the Downs again!

and under the dreadful spell of the Barrow Wight

Ah, Bethberry...Idril, she makes it out to be such a bad thing, most misleading! Welcome to the Barrowdowns and, now you understand what we mean, enjoy being dead.

Erebrandir - Back off when you mention it? Hmm, well, certainly it won't be us doing the backing off..Welcome to Downs. May we lead you in dark places.

Marared - woah, since '87! You almost qualify for the 'Coming of Age' thread - those who have read Tolkien for 18 years or more. Ach, maybe you can sneak in a little early... Hope you enjoy it here.

Hmm, now why can't I post smileys...

Right then... *pulls fold-out chair closer to circle*

My name is Quicksilver_Sprite, and I first read Tolkien at the piddling age of six or seven, though my mother had previously read it to all of the children several times. On my ninth birthday, I recieved a paperback copy of LotR, but did not get further than the third page of the first chapter for quite a few years. As I grew older, my reading habits became more voracious, and at the mention of the much-hyped FotR movie, I decided that the time had come to once again pick up LotR. So, slowly and carefully, I made my way through it, digesting it and remembering the magic of Middle-Earth from my younger years.

Currently, I'm trying to write a piece of orginal fiction, fit in Algebra II and World History, and retain the shattered pieces of sanity still in my grasp. (siblings will do that to you)

Hi!

Hello everyone, it's great to be here.

My name is Smeagol, obviously, and i love LOTR, obviously! i read the books 4 years ago and the hobbit 5 years ago. I've just finished the Sil. I think the films are really, really, really, really, really, really good but i also like the books.

I am currently writing out FOTR in Dwarvish runes and the tengwar. I did the Hobbit ages ago. Well, that's just about it now, Bye.

Hello my name is Lothiriel (I wish I was really her!) I have a big crush on Eomer. I love to read fanfiction and write and of course draw! I began reading The Lord of The Rings about 3 years ago when my boyfriend Shawn (who by the way has a striking resemblance to Celeborn....wierd) suggested them to me. Well I read it and loved it and later read the Hobbit, Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales. Something really strange you might know is that I always read the end first, the think it makes the books better

go figure... Anyway, I am also a big fan of the movies, they did an amazing job with it.
Okay, so really I only wish I was the queen of Rohan and spent my childhood on the beautiful beaches of Dol Amroth.... really my name is Andrea (I go by Andi) I am fairly tall and skinny with long brown hair and green eyes. I am 16 and live in Kentucky. I used to be in competitive gymnastics and have danced all my life. I used to want to be a dancer but recently changed my mind because I became borderline anorexic a few years ago and I don't think its a very good field for me ( yeah life sucks and nothings ever perfect) anyway.. now I want to be a writer and illustrator.
I absolutely love anything Tolkien or Lord of the Rings....don't know what I'd do without it....
well if you read that, wow! hehe I tend to get real wordy.... hope to talk to you around the boards... I am a little shy though.....well byebye!
