Arwen Evenstar · 11-09-2003, 05:14 PM

Hi, I`m not exactly new here. I`ve been a member for about 3 months, but I`d like to make some friends. For the short amount of time I`ve been here, I`ve really gotten to like you guys/girls. When I`m having a bad day, I come here and everyone brightens my day. Thanks for making me smile! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elennar Starfire · 11-10-2003, 08:00 PM

Weird, I play electric guitar!

And I absolutley love the Elves, and I play acoustic guitar!

Erm...I can make a flute make noise...sometimes...actually sounding good though...nope. I play the recorder. And I can also play violin, though I do not like it so much. Also I love to sing.

From these posts, it seems many of you play guitar.

Rilwen Gamgee · 11-10-2003, 08:39 PM

Greetings, to all newcomers! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Don't worry... We don't bite, really. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Have fun on the Downs, all you newbies.

Amarantha_Daisy · 11-10-2003, 09:54 PM

Hello, all you newbies! Enjoy being dead! Don't worry, we're all friendly here [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hmmm... I don't play any instruments, but I do have a recorder and an ocarina that I can fiddle around with. I wouldn't say that I actually *know how* to play...

11-11-2003, 12:49 PM

Hey all. I'm new to this site but not new to forums. If there are any questions of my monicker, I took it from the elvish translation of my real name, cause it just sounded cool. see ya around

Obviously this doesn't hold up, I play trumpet, but I think we're done proving that.
Though the idea certainly works.

Anywho, I am the friendly welcomer Ainaserkewen, if you can't spell my name, call me Aina(eye-na) which I prefer anyway. Any newbies that have questions, queeries, or rude comment politely phrased( [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) come here. I may not be a moderator or a Barrowdowns guru, but I know my way around. Don't be shy, I don't judge, I only laugh, no, just kidding.

Seeya all around, uh "have fun being dead" and posting.

Elennar Starfire · 11-13-2003, 09:45 PM

Again, I welcome all newbies! If you have questions, PM me, or any of the other friendly newbie-kil...um, I mean, newbie-guiders, and we will try to help you. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It seems that many of us play some sort of musical instrument, though.

Seems to me that there are more "meeters and greeters" here than newbies most of the time. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Theron Bugtussle · 11-14-2003, 12:21 PM

The complete Barrow-Downs newbie, Theron Bugtussle, here! Hi, all.

And a help request, too.... Where do I find the forum that I saw yesterday (my first day on forum), it was about the differences between the books and the movies?

Lyta_Underhill · 11-14-2003, 02:05 PM

Welcome to the Downs, Theron Bugtussle! Great name! Looks good on a headstone or on your barrow! Enjoy being dead! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Are you referring to this thread? It is entitled "Book vs. Movie Characters" and I found it by searching in the Books forum using the terms book vs movie . The search function can be very helpful and can be found near the top of the page just under the two rings that say "New Topic" and "Add Reply." If this isn't the thread you're looking for, try the Search function in each of the forums and you'll probably find lots of interesting stuff you were or weren't looking for that will take you in wonderful new directions!

Cheers!
Lyta

Theron Bugtussle · 11-14-2003, 02:27 PM

Thanks so much, Lyta Underhill! That is exactly the thread I was seeking. I did a similar search, but on the Movies forum, so naturally did not find what I needed. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

About the name, I found the name generator on the Barrow-Downs site, or I would not have known how everyone had such great names. (I just thought you were all a bunch of true geeks.)

Needless to say, I altered the name it generated for me. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] I may actually be the founder of the Bugtussle clan of hobbits.... I stake my claim!

Annalaliath · 11-14-2003, 08:08 PM

HI all you new and oldies. I am back, for now, but I must admit in my absense I have checked in from time to time. I have been engulfed with this series called .hack the game and all that so I have had no time between that my school and my new job for much else.

Enjoy being dead!

You all should read some of the rest of this thread there is some good advice hidden here.

Theron Bugtussle · 11-14-2003, 08:33 PM

Question about avatars... I don't have a problem finding something to use as an avatar. But where-oh-where do I find a website to post my avatar so I can link to it here? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] I need something...FREE.

(That is, assuming I intepreted the profile info correctly, and this site will not host my avatar file.)

Okay, that is a dumb, stereo-typical comment.
Geez, I like Elves(I don't love them, but i like some of them) and I LOVEfantasy, and i used to play the flute but it wasn't for me.
The drums are what I play now.

And don't say "every person who____ does this, or is this."
People are different, and what may be right for onw person isn't right for another.

Lighten up, Kittiegirl. I'm sure the person who said it was exagerating at best and the rest of us were just teasing her.

So welcome to the Downs.

kittiegirl · 11-15-2003, 12:22 PM

Thank you.

You're probably right.
But I hate stereotypes.

Lady Snickerdoodle · 11-15-2003, 09:39 PM

Okay I've actually been here for like a little less than a month, but never saw this... I'm Lady Snickerdoodle!!!! YAY!!! Anyway, I think its kind of pointless to say that I'm obsessed about LOTR. so I won't.

About me- I laugh a lot for no distinct reason, I like marsupials, am currently trying to figure out how to stalk Orlando Bloom while living on the east coast of the U.S., and think the guy who plays Malfoy in Harry Potter is really ugly. That basically sums it up. yeah..

kittiegirl · 11-15-2003, 09:41 PM

Why in the hell would you want to stalk Orlando Bloom?
For his looks?

Elennar: I play the violin too but I like playing it. And the piano also.
My latest interest are percussions...those instruments just tend to be very expensive *sigh*

A short re-introduction of me: I'm from Finland, I love music, drawing and M-E and I'm afraid of spiders (a bit ironic...) and might get violent when seeing one...

Happy posting to all!

Hi! I'm danni and i'm new to the barrowdowns chat thing. actually i dont usually do chatrooms. So anyone any craic?

11-16-2003, 04:00 PM

Anyone there? Am I doing this wrong or something. I'm rubbish with the internet. Stupid technology........

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-16-2003, 04:09 PM

Hi, Danni, and welcome to the Barrow-Downs forum. A forum is different than a chat room - this is a virtual bulletin board, where you can leave messages for others to read and answer, but not talk directly to them. That's why you don't get immediate reactions. It can take a few minutes or hours, even longer, before someone replies.

If you'd like to chat, go to the Downs' main page, scroll down to "discussions" and click on chat. Click on "Java chat" to enter the room. Hope you find whatever way of communication you're looking for and enjoy it!

Annalaliath · 11-16-2003, 08:38 PM

I do either that or I realize that no one like or even pays attention to my posts.... except in the RPs and that is rare to have anyone reply to one even there. So I just pretend that what I say is important, and leave it at that. But all in all I am not Burrahobbit no matter how cool that would be!

What am I saying?! I should say Hi all you newly dead and welcome the the Barrow Downs. Have fun being dead and reveiw the rest of theis thread for some good advice.

Oh, but isn't it the truth, Saucepan Man? If I ever *don't* answer you, that's why [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I personally prefer message boards. Being bombarded with a bunch of "hellos" at once freaks me out.

11-17-2003, 03:00 AM

Hurrah, hurrah, calloo callay and other random garbage, verbage and miscelaneous items from underneath the couch cushions.
Well it's me, finally, joining the barrow downs... I guess It's not as exciting as you all expected (my joining that is) but I think it is "quite the cool". Any way I hope I will be making many more a posting and random interjection, but until then; FAREWELL!

Mae Govennon melonin, I am new to this group however I have loved LOTR since way before the movies were out and I just thought I'd say hello. By the way, under our screen names what does the phrases like "newly deceased" and "barrow Wight" mean in reguards to our name?
