Yes. See, that is why I love him so much. He was such a loyal guy.

IMO sometimes Tolkien just forgot to alter the text at all places according to his change of mythos/plot.

In this case Tolkien did alter the words, for the Second Edition. The words there are 'Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finarfin'. Perhaps this was only in the English version, but the change appears to have been overlooked in even later editions.

Afro-elf, Humans are so noble, though the Human Race collectively is not.

Nit picking since he arrived,

By the Valar man!

yes yes I should have said humans as a whole

OK, so Tolkien first forgot, then he remembered and altered, and then everyone forgot again....

It will be hard to form a theory from the above events! Who is to blame?

What about me?

I dont know much about the elves, I think I like them better if they are mysterious and not too much light is shed on thier ancient history, they're as beautifull as the stars but like stars if you shine a light on them they go out and lose some of their beauty but if you let them alone then they shine with a beauty that somehow sings out and makes you want to weep for their beauty. If I were to lose my eyesight the last thing I would want to look at would be the stars and Orion.

hmmm... i'd like to be an elf (wouldn't we all)... but would most likely be a strikingly tall hobbit... i don't really eat enough for that though... so maybe i could be a young elf who is not yet learned in all the lore... or a human who is an elf friend?

Well... I guess I would see myself as a seriously kick arse Rohirrim Shield Maiden. Go me.

afro-elf · 04-23-2002, 10:42 AM

Unfortunately, no. But I'm really, really, really good at pretending that I can be tall. Well... I'm not short....

afro-elf · 04-23-2002, 10:52 AM

Well I'm not an elf

so i guess were in the same boat

Hey, careful with my boat!

Nazgûl Queen · 04-23-2002, 07:09 PM

I kinda picture myself as a Dunadain Ranger... like a female Aragorn....

I Love elves, nature, travelling etc, as does he, and we are both very knowledgeable.
Much older internally than I look... (He doesn't look like he's 80!)
Devoting my life to other people...
Very unsure of myself...

*must look for other similarities*

Beautifully said, and that's so sweet that you want to spend your last seeing moments looking at me!

BoP would be taller, but she's been trying to fit herself into that box for too long...

What do you mooters think I would be in ME? (other than a constellation

)

***Earniel*** · 04-25-2002, 03:23 PM

Cirdan: a wise entwife

Afro-elf: a grey elf form Rivendell

BoP: a rohirrim lass with a tongue as sharp as a knife (no really, it suits you)

Menelvagor: one of the Beornings (don't ask me why)

Samwise: somehow you've got 'hobbit' written all over you

Does any one else want a nice label?

So, what dou you think of me?

I was aware of that, Cirdan. It's just that somehow your posts remind me more of an entwife than an ent. No hard feelings?
