The *new* Barrow Downs photo page!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Thanks very much Eddy. You know, this is starting to explain why I spend so much of my time discouraging suitors that I don't want. Now if I could only get the one that I am interested in... Alas for the complications of teenage life.

Oh yes, and Tig, it's true. You're quite gorgeous as well.

Alas for the complications of teenage life.

Ah, 'tis true, 'tis true... When I was small, one lady pronounced that I would be a "heart-breaker". Meaning, of course, that I would (as yourself) have to turn down many suitors. Fortunately, I'm homeschooled, and therefore don't have much day-to-day contact with potentials.

A bit more on-topic, I'm in HI's blue-bandana-fan-club as well.

"Lookin' pretty good" is an insult to the level of hotness those two achieve in their pics.

*blush* Well, phantom, perhaps you need to be sending in a piccie of your pretty face soonly
Maybe we should change the motto of the Downs to "The Barrow Downs, where the hotties hang out!" Thank you all. I've found, from forums, conventions, etc, that the LOTR fandom has many very attractive people on both ends. Take that Star Wars! I mean... heh.

I've updated the page with pics from Lush, Abercrombieofrohan, Orominuialwen, Lindolirian, and Hookbill the Goomba.
If there's one thing I've found while making this page, it's that many members here have some long and tough to remember how to spell names. So, please, if anyone catches a typo, let me know

PS - Fea, they are not just complications of a teenage life... they go on into your twenties, sadly. It's always the ones who you don't want to approach you who do, and those who you wish would never do... and then I never have confidence (or barely do anyway) to approach anyone myself. Confidence boosts are nice, because when you have remained single for so long you can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with you. But I've just now decided that there is something wrong with the male of the species, most of them, at least... or the ones who ask for my phone # and never call

Ahm, Tigerlily...what's your phone number??

(There is no escape from Us. None...)

I attempted to send in a picture of myself, but it failed twice... it's not a great picture of me, but it's the only one I have where I'm not a complete hag.

If I uploaded a picture onto a webpage and posted the link, could you save it from there? I can't seem to email it at all.

A little advice from someone who knows that most advice goes unheeded, as I was there too. But anyway, don't settle!!

I was about to, as I was tired of seeing all of the great gals hanging on the arms of men who treated them poorly. Anyway, used to complain about the women that I wasn't really into dating, and my carpooler, who was hot but definitely not my type, nor I hers, used to cry about her boyfriend who was a real jerk.

One day something went 'ding!,' and we realized that the person that we were dreaming about was seated next to us every day. Some hard work, sacrifices, and a few scares came our way, but it all worked out - we've been married for ages, have three little ones and couldn't be happier.

Don't settle!

[Gil-Galad]

I'll try and get a pic of the mighty Gil-galad for you of course...all my fans will be wondering 'What does the man behind the awesomeness look-like?'

great job again Tig

[the phantom]

since I'm home sick from work

Get better soon (if you want to, that is- some people would rather be sick than at work).

don't settle!!

That's great advice, alatar, but don't get everyones' hopes up. There just aren't enough Phantom-level lads and lasses around for everyone to get one.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Oh don't worry, alatar, if I was a settler then I'd have been taken long ago... but alas, I guess I'm picky.

Ok, so I didn't get to update tonight as planned. For some reason the server was down.. at least the webhosting control panel was. Last I checked the page was still there. It's weird, though, this is the first time that I've had a problem with Yahoo. Let us hope that it's back online soon so that I can update

Hmmm...I definitely hit the lottery when I met my wife, but to this day I could never figure out what she's doing with me.

Must be my purported knowledge of LOTR...
