*chuckles* Legate, do you have any idea how long it took me to figure out who Amon was? *puts her Theodred wig on for effect* Woooow. I'm a FoaT.



By the way, welcome, Maedhros. I'm Sally (I say this before you start calling me Stan like Kath did for a bit )

Well you have my apologies Sally but what comes more naturally from 'satansaloser' ... stan or sally? Mmhm, thought so. But I'm happy enough having changed Lommy's name.

Anyway, welcome Maedhros! Please call her stan, it will make me laugh!

I'm the infamous Lommy person she's talking about. Just if it was confusing you as it's not the most logical nickname you can derive from my username.

Anyway, (a rather late) welcome to the 'downs, Maedhros! Enjoy your stay. If you post enough, Kath may compose a nickname for you too...

I remember that I was slightly annoyed with people calling you Lommy, way back when. . .I wanted to call you Thin or something of the sorts.

Pshaw! It's perfectly logical. You just have to live in my head for the links to be clear.

Ah, but she didn't like the nickname Thin. See, I was being nice.

Tough one, tough one. I can only think of Maddy which works only if you're female. You're not are you?

Well, Hello!

Greetings Barrowdowns!
My name is Candise Rose, but just Rose is fine. I am 20 years old, and I love books of all types and genres, but (as I am sure is the case with everyone here), LOTR has always been my favorite series. Currently, I am serving in the United States Marine Corps, which, combined with college and scraps of a social life, has kept my hands pretty tied for quite some time. However, ive had the oppportunity for some good downtime this past month, and I spent it re-reading my favorite trilogy which, got me all motivated to get back into foruming, and thats how I came to be here! Lets see..my favorite character(s) would have to be Samwise and Eowyn, and the Tolkien book that I intend to work on next is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Gwath that's terrible! Don't scare the newbies away.

Welcome to the 'Downs Semper. Glad you've got a chance to re-read, been meaning to get round to that myself.
