Hello potential-people-who-may-be-seeing-this-post! This is Rosie, one of the moderators, having finally re-discovered her precious login details... "And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost", and what have you Are there still any people around? I know there's been a handful of posts since I last checked in with you, but they are generally few and far between. In any case, do say hello, if you see this. I miss talking to you all something fierce! After all, with the production of The Hobbit well under way (and the premiere for the first of the two films less than a year away), maybe - just maybe - there would be enough interest to keep this place ticking. *waves the banner of the eternal optimist* It's 7 years now since I first created my profile here (excuse me while I panic slightly at the inevitable march of time), which is a bit mind blowing. *chews nails and rocks back and forth in her rocking chair*

Hey Rose, I think I'm the only one who's visited these forums in ages. I tried to email Mirwen but she didn't respond =/ I'm guessing the closer we get to release the more people will come back.

Rosiiiie!!!!!! *GLOOOMMMP!!!!* AND FINROD!!!!! *GLOMP AGAIN!!!* I missed you both so much!!! In fact I came over here just to see if anyone was alive. And you are! Yay! And I am alive too! *waves the banner of eternal optimism too* yaaay for the Hobbit!!! I am so excited for it. I am looking forward to everything: the singing dwarves, Elrond, Bilbo's cute hobbit self, Gollum, Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf's epicness, Elrond, and did I mention ELROND?!?! Oh, and Thranduil too. He'd better be blond, I always pictured him blond. Well how are you two and how have you been this past year? Or two... I went to Greece and studied abroad (and it was epic.) And guess who went to GERMANY to study abroad? Yavanna! So me and Vanna met in Florence Italy and took an Italian holiday together. It was very lovely. I was like "*sniff* aww good old enarda reunion time!" And we spoke of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and it was so enarda-y. I also went to England for Thanksgiving and it was so pretty, and I was so close to you Finrod but I didn't know how to contact you. Ah well, it might have been a little too exciting to meet Enarda people in real life, I don't know if I could handle it. I might faint or something. Guess whaaat? I'm getting MARRIED this summer!!! Yaay!! Fun fun fun. And I am doing it the LOTR way: in a castle with medieval stuff and a crown and swords and flower girl fairies. It is gonna be sickeningly perfect. And. I published my book "Brightleaf" that I've been working on since forever! I'll send you the link to it online when it is available in a few weeks. I have the paperback sitting next to me. I am kind of addicted to it, like it is my child and I feel the need to fondle it every now and again and caress its pages (I'm not creepy at all.) I'm so so so so so happy to be back and to have you be back too!!! *group hug*

MIRY. ROSIE. FIN. *emotional overload* *goes away for a while to recover* *comes back* Oh my goodness. Miry, you need to send us all signed copies of your book. And maybe wedding invitations. I totally wish I could go to your wedding! Speaking of study abroad, guess who's in Uruguay this semester? THIS GIRL. I'm very slowly learning Spanish. We're in Montevideo, and the city is amazing. I've never lived in a big city before! Everyone else is in love with the beaches, and I'm enjoying all the architecture and the people... I don't know if any of you have a tumblr, but that's mainly what I've been using in the way of social networking lately. I post most of my pictures on Facebook though. I should fix that. Anyway, on tumblr I'm Lady of Song. (That links to my tumblr. It's nice to know I can still do all the shortcuts on proboards!) What's been going on with y'all lately?? I'm friends with Miry on Facebook, so I stalk her occasionally *coughalotcough* and know what's up with her. AND THE HOBBIT. AOSIDFHAWEB. I'm in love with Martin Freeman already, because I've been watching the BBC Sherlock show, and he's Dr. Watson on there. I can't believe it's gonna be two years before we get the whole movie. I'm glad they're doing it in two parts, because that means they can be more accurate to the book... but I'd really like to just have it all ready right now. I'd go see it in theaters here, even with the Spanish subtitles. It would be so worth it.

That's totally what I did with the Lion King! When it came out in theaters again, I was in Greece. So I watched it in Greek. Oooh Uruguay?!?! Where is that exactly? It sounds quite exotic! And yesss I'll make sure you get a wedding invite. And maybe I can stream my wedding on the internet so that you can attend even if you can't in person! That would be so cool! It is nice to know I get stalked every now and again. It makes me feel loved. ;D

The main movie that I can think of that's coming out while I'm here is the Avengers... but that's coming out like 4 days before I get back, so I might just wait to see it... NAHHH. That's crazy talk. Uruguay is in South America, tucked cozily under Brazil. Well, I'm here for any time you need to be stalked!

Since I saw Miry's post on FB, I decided to come over here and see if I remembered my login info. Y'all probably don't remember me, since I joined at the tail-end of this place's last active time. I have an introduction post somewhere around this place....

Aww I know you live in England!! I wanted to see you, but I didn't know how to contact you except on En-Arda. And I was only there for a few days. BUT the next time I come to England I will totally let you know!!! What have you been up to Fin? Besides being a wandering warrior on here?

Hallooooo people!! Aww this is quite lovely, everyone being back and posting and such!!
I'm just hanging out in Germany right now, ending up my first semester and making travel plans for the semester break. Also I the moment, I'm attempting to lure crows to the ledge out side my window with cat food. It's a very exciting project. ^.^
And the HOBBITT!!!!!! Ahhhhhh!! I am actually very very happy that they are making it into 2 movies - there's more to enjoy and look forward to ^.^ but what will we have when it's over? No one will want to make a movie of the Silmarillion =( Though I think a movie about the Narn i Chin Hurin would be absolute fabulousness. And quite depressing. Anyways.
I watched TTT yesterday in German - it had been too long since I'd seen it ^.^ (like a few months I believe) But it's just such a pity that none of my friends share the same amount of enthusiasm for it as I do, and just sort of look at me with pity when I rant about the Elves not being at Helm's Deep and Gandalf coming back with Erkenbrand rather than Eomer.

Hey vanna, haven't seen you in ages, where are you staying in Germany? I love Germany it's a really awesome country. Mirwen, I've been at university the past 2.5 years doing a psychology degree, nearly finished it though. I don't know what I'm going to do after yet. o0 Maybe move out of England for a bit.
I don't think it's possible to make a silmarillion movie, unless they did 10 parts or something, and that would be crazy. (still would like to see beren and luthien move though =/) This place should really start picking up the closer we get to The Hobbit.

Ooh psychology! Sounds smart!! I'm at a music school and I don't feel quite as smart sometimes, especially since I live in the same city as MIT and Harvard. But I feel smart when I talk about music theory and get into sound waves and ratios! I wanna see a Beren and Luthien movie!! Except not a Narn i Hin Hurin movie. Except I love Beleg. So...okay, maybe like a scene from the movie that has Beleg in it. And that's it, not an actual movie. Muahaha! Oh goodness Vanna...those elves at Helm's Deep...how silly that was. BUT at least they deleted the scene when Arwen was gonna go with them! I'm getting married in two months. O.o HOW ARE WE SO OLD!!?!?! *puts on elf ears and feigns immortality* at least we're immortal here....
