i have returned...

gods, i think i've been gone for 3 weeks now. eek. that's a scary thought.

the forces of the universe (aka Getting a Job, Keeping a Job, Someone Stole my Credit Card, Relationships, Trying to Continue Artistically While Working, Writing Poetry, & Family 'Fun') have detained me far too long! but i have returned! let all mellons rejoice!

now to continue digging through all the old conversations...
but first, some comments -

Shan - i think i missed something. why Lord of Rain?

Saun - so the Wizard's gone wandering again? (someday i'll make it into the RPG forum - just don't know when)

anduin - new rooster? or have i really been away too long. and yes, i sew (more accurately, am still learning). so far all i've done is my halloween costume (a long white dress made out of cheap $2/yard fabric) & repairs.

whoever commented on Saskatchewan thunderstorms - i love watching lightning. but lately the only times i see it are when camping... sleeping in a field/under a tree in a metal-poled tent with lightning all around isn't exactly fun...

everyone who cares - DALLAS IS OUT OF THE DROUGHT! IT'S RAINING AGAIN! WOO-HOO! my plants greatly appreciate this.

Gil - you want high school horror stories? i have a few... and how did the Hobbit-reading go?

El - i can say that about Russian composers because i greatly prefer more recent classical music. but i do have a lot of respect for the older pieces, i just prefer the newer. a matter of taste, i guess.

everyone (again) - in 69 days (not that i'm counting) i'm moving into this incredibly cool 100-year-old house in one of the most fun parts of dallas. the thought of real trees, 10-ft ceilings, walls of windows, & gorgeous victorian architecture makes working in retail worthwhile (actually, work isn't bad - we just have eccentric customers)

and if i disappear for a week or so again, I WILL BE BACK - eventually. for how can an Elf separate herself from the Forest?

Of course she was gone! If you weren't so self absorbed, you would have noticed.

:lol:

Of course I am just kidding, but I wanted to make sure so you wouldn't go off half c o c k e d at me.

It is just an old rooster that I decided to recycle.

Well, perhaps you have noticed that I am now LORD OF THE SOUTHFARTHING!

The title was graciously bestowed upon me after I reached my 501st Post.

Check out the HOBBIT READING AT THE BOOKSTORE thread in the HOBBIT FORUM to see how the reading went. I was pleased with the performance and with the audience, when they came. We've shaped up plans to read each volume of LotR before the corresponding movie is released.

That's a three year project, four if you count this year!


And the election season is underway! Don't forget to email your vote for me to bmilder@tolkientrail.com !

Yet another person returning.... this is getting to be quite a reunion. Welcome back arynetrek!

I can't remember...

Only you know the truth to that question.

Welcome back!

You missed a lot of the election stuff, but your still in time to vote. Vote for me!!

Hi, welcome back.
It was me who said I missed the Saskatchewan Thunderstorms. I grew up with them.

Surely a well-traveled young lady such as yourself will have no difficulty making the right choice!

<spin attitude="sincerity">
I'm not just another pretty banner. Behind the elaborate campaign machinery and all the pollsters and pundits, there is a little hobbit with a yearning in his heart to serve all the folk of the ENTMOOT as their President.

<spin attitude="race card">
Besides, what other candidate offers to protect you from the depredations of the dwarves?

A vote for Gilthalion is a vote against the Establishment Candidate, HOBBIT.

A vote for Gilthalion is a vote against the Extremist Candidate, gdl96 aka GREG.

[spin attitude="demogoguery">
I don't trust the Establishment! I never have.

I don't trust any Extremist. Neither should you!

<spin attitude="incitement">
I trust the People! Down with the Establishment!

[c] VOTE GILTHALION[/c]

Suddenly I feel very dizzy....

Why? You've been spinning right there in your pic for as long as I've known you! :lol:


Too bad Darth Tater won't let you vote!
