Good for him.

Sounds like something you'd actually want to hear. Ours are not nearly as dynamic.

And this year his father may have picked up something from his son - he mentioned Aragorn in his New Year's speech!!!
"Become who you were meant to be" - movie quote rather than book quote, perhaps? But even so ...

Happy New Year, mooters!

**Mari** · 01-01-2013, 10:56 AM

Happy New Year everyone!
Also haven't been around much. The weeks before Christmas are absolute killers in Education and we had to worry a lot about my grandmother's health. She is starting to do a bit better every day now though!

I've now graduated, married a friend since childhood, and am attending grad school, working towards a Ph.D. in Organic chemistry.

When the Hobbit movie came out, I just had to return to Entmoot to see what you all thought

I'm hoping to stick around for a little bit!

I totally empathise. Its only after my mandatory four years of higher education that I now have time to come and drop by Entmoot. The best thing is - when so many things in my life have changed, its a great comfort to swing by here and see the same old faces and hear the old voices and know something is going on as before.

Happy New Year, all my beloved old Entmoot family! Boy, we sure go back a ways, don't we? Love you all very much! 2013 will be a very good year. The world is changing! I feel it in the water; I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air...

*drags self in* Happy New Year! Wooo! *falls face first into a conveniently placed divan*

Sane, your kitten is so adorable! *saw pics on FB*
Need some coffee?

***Rían*** · 01-03-2013, 03:21 PM

Happy New Year! Here's hoping it will be better than 2012, which was a pretty stinky year as years go

But the last day of 2012 was quite nice - spent the passing of the year with family members playing board games and laughing like crazy at the funny things people did

Then toasted the New Year with some Martinelli's - yum!

***Jonathan*** · 01-17-2013, 05:03 PM

Today marks ten years of Entmoot for me!
It's been great making so many acquaintances here and I've had much fun! Ah, discussions of balrog wings and riddles in the dark, walking the Tolkien trail and watching Peter Jackson's movies, mud wrestling and presidential campaigning, Jerseydevils, Ruinels and some Hectorberlioz teasing, and even a bit of modding

A special thanks to Insidious Rex for referring me here

Congrats on reaching the ten-year-mark, Jonathan! You're now officially one of the old-timers. You can find your walking stick at the old-timer booth and we will be delivering occasional young whippersnappers to your doorstep which you can then chase off your lawn.

Coffeehouse · 01-25-2013, 05:21 PM

Thanks Eärniel! And no one will deprive this old man of his walking stick, oh no. I'm looking forward to citizen discounts at the Teacup Café and playing mahjong with the other gaffers. We'll also exchanges pills and medicines, as old people do - two angina pills for a sachet of laxative

Hi Varna!

*Takes note of the new regime at Entmoot*. Are we an autocracy or an oligarchy now? Are elections out the window?

***Earniel*** · 01-28-2013, 07:45 AM

Tyranny, pretty much.

Unless you lot can manage to form a Last Alliance to elect your own leader. Got any spare long lost heirs lying around, by any chance?
