Name: Laitoste, Lauren, Loraine

Quest: to get an A on at least ONE of my papers this semester--just one! That's all I ask! And to survive Beginning Chinese...

Favourite colour: green

Most beloved Tolkien character: Tuor, Elwing

Least beloved Tolkien character: Eol

Worst habit: procrastination, not posting/participating enough

Best habit: Vacuuming my room every so often

Unlikeliest celebrity crush: Jon Stewart...or Steven Colbert!

Weirdest hobby: drawing stars when working at the front desk (instead of homework)

Best place in Middle Earth: Rivendell (to meet all the travellers!)

Best place outside of Middle Earth: Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho

Most embarrassing moment: saying "more better" while explaining the benefits of good grammar in a poetry workshop.

Most daring moment: moving-in day! I actually came and TALKED to people (gasp)

Favourite "LotR" actor: Ian McKellen, Sean Bean

Least favourite "LotR" actor: Elijah Wood

Theme song: "Thinkin' Again"~Clint Black, or "Joseph's Coat"~"I look handsome, I look smart, I am a walking work of art..."

Style guru: Moria orc #13...

Most crucial accessory: my jean jacket and scarves

Greatest weakness: sweets, FreeCell

Greatest strength: concise writing

Favourite place to visit on the Downs: Books

Best Downer Buddy: Dunno

Parting shot: Penguins are very helpful in explaining Aristotle vs. Plato to people who have had 15 hours of sleep in 3 days. And you thought I was smart...

malkatoj · 11-09-2005, 03:52 PM

Name: Malkatoj...or Pirate

Quest: Get in to college!

Favourite colour: Green

Most beloved Tolkien character: Sam

Least beloved Tolkien character: Frodo, actually

Worst habit: Procrastinating (hey, guess what I'm doing now)

Best habit: Reading, I guess. I don't usually think of good things as habits. Or maybe correcting grammar.

Unlikeliest celebrity crush: I'm pretty sure I don't have one right now.

Weirdest hobby: Does 'using Barrow-Downs' count? If not, photoshop-ing pictures to be very strange things.

Best place in Middle Earth: The Shire

Best place outside of Middle Earth: Bed...for sleeping.

Most embarrassing moment: I've made some really stupid math mistakes...like 5*5=10 and whatnot. I don't really get embarrased because I don't care what people think of me, but it would probably be something along those lines.

Most daring moment: On BD, sending the first PM as a wolf in WWJ I. I was scared that the wrong people would get it and I would lose forever.

Favourite "LotR" actor: Sean Astin...duh

Least favourite "LotR" actor: Orlando Bloom. He doesn't seem anywhere near real.

Theme song: American Pie by Don McLean

Style guru: Me. I don't care about fashion.

Most crucial accessory: I have this ring that spins. It's nice for fidgety people.

Greatest weakness: Short attention span? I get distracted. For example, I just accidentally typed 'spam' and am now thinking about Monty Python.

Greatest strength: Determination? Even though it goes against my short attention spa(m) and procrastinating, I work for what I want.

Favourite place to visit on the Downs: Mirth

Best Downer Buddy: Shelob and/or Abercrombie

Parting shot: Glad I finished, because I have to go teach people to stab each other correctly now.

Kath · 11-09-2005, 05:34 PM

Name: Kath(erine)

Quest: To make it through the school year without killing my psychology teacher.

Favourite colour: Frequently changes but usually red.

Most beloved Tolkien character: Merry I think.

Least beloved Tolkien character: Sauron of course!

Worst habit: Biting my nails and biting the skin off my lip.

Best habit: Being willing and able to talk to anyone.

Unlikeliest celebrity crush: Umm, no idea! Not sure I have crushes as such.

Weirdest hobby: Making any piece of paper, no matter how small, into a boat.

Best place in Middle Earth: The Shire

Best place outside of Middle Earth: My town during the Hop Festival or when we do the carols in the market place.

Most embarrassing moment: Just one? I live my life doing embarassing things! But probably the time I ran down a hill and fell over a hidden wall at the bottom and fell flat on my face!

Most daring moment: Arguing with a teacher over something they had said that I knew to be wrong but that involved some serious stuff to explain. Of course I kept panicking that what I was saying didn't make sense so I'd be disregarded because I coudln't explain what I meant.

Favourite "LotR" actor: Viggo Mortensen - how can you not love a man that puts that much into a role.

Least favourite "LotR" actor: Orlando Bloom!

Theme song: Always look on the bright side of life

(She says even with all her complaints on the Mordor thread

)

Style guru: My brain, which is bad as it dresses me very early in the morning when it is not yet awake and capable of making decisions.

Most crucial accessory: A hairband, gotta get that mane out of the way quickly sometimes.

Greatest weakness: Procrastination without a doubt.

Greatest strength: That I work better under stressful conditions so my procrastinating ways actually work out for me

Favourite place to visit on the Downs: My PM box often, or the werewolf thread so long as I'm not about to be lynched.

Best Downer Buddy: But I like you all! I would have to say probably Nilp or TGWBS, with Fea coming a close runner up when we are PMing.

Parting shot: Smile!

Now, all dead...well, with all dead, there's usually only one thing that you can do--Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
