New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ulumuri · 05-23-2009, 10:03 PM

Hello everybody, I'm Ulumuri, and that is my real name, honest. I've been lurking here for quite a while, but I thought this would be the ideal time to step out of the shadows, since, due to recent events, everyone is likely to suspect me of being the alter ego of some established member.

I first read LOTR and in 2000, which makes me pretty much the youngest person to read the books before seeing the movies (as far as I know).

A little more about me... I'm female, a college student, and live somewhere in the US. Informative, eh? I also have green hair, which would go nicely with this website if I could figure out how to make an avvie, and major in psych, though I'm thinking of switching to classics. I hope that gives you enough of a mental image.

I'm especially looking forward to getting involved in the roleplaying games here.

Welcome to the Barrow-Downs, I hope you enjoy it here.

Ulumuri · 05-24-2009, 02:22 PM

Thanks, Hack, and I return the sentiment. Enjoy your death!

It's a sorry situation, though, when newbies must greet each other. The hospitality of the 'downs is somewhat lessened of late, I'm afraid.

Everybody is just burdened with end of school stuff or exam terms or whatever, I tell you...

Enjoy your deaths, Hakon and Ulumuri! Looking forward to reading more from you both!

Yes, welcome to the Downs, Hakon and Ulumuri... and stop making me feel guilty!

(Come to think of it, I already welcomed Ulumuri in... you know... that thread....)

Yes, incredibly enough after a long struggle - longer than Gandalf with the balrog during the Battle of the Peak - I have defeated school and am finished with my tests for finishing highschool, with very pleasing results.

So now I have time to do stuff I also wanted to do - sleep, do nothing and return to the BD.

I was actually just looking on YT and a video caught my eye, the famous "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard", so I thought it was a sign for me to return here... if you'll have me back that is.

Heey, Miggy!!! Fantastic! Now that's some great news. Congratulations to your victory over the Balrog

It is great to see you here again

Haha sounds very similar to my situation (although I'm still studying for University entrance exams

), but hey, congrats and welcome back!
