Another "welcome me" thread

Elfhelm · 04-09-2002, 07:02 PM

Hi. I'm new, too. To introduce myself, I thought I would post this analysis of the name I chose, with comments on whether or not I think it's true. (It was at kabalarians.com) You're all JRRT-heads, so you know where I took the name, and yes, I am a guy who believes in giving powerful women the wherewithal to exercise their power, for who knows what vile beast they might slay!?

Elfhelm

The name of Elfhelm gives you a very individual, reserved, serious nature.
*aaawww... I bet you say that to all the riders.

You stick stubbornly to your ideas or decisions, in spite of any appeals or advice; you are not willing to accept a compromise.
* um... actually I've been married for a while and know better, but it's true I am stubborn.

You prefer to be alone with your own thoughts, rather than in the company of others.
* Are you kidding? I go to messageboards when I am alone because I need people. (DON'T start singing Babs!)

This name restricts spontaneity in association and the fluency of your verbal expression.
* Hmmm... is that a good thing or a bad thing?

When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way.
*LOL! OK, that one's totally true.

You can express your deeper thoughts and feelings best through writing.
* Correct again.

Your friendships and personal associations are rather restricted, being limited to those of a similar nature who can understand and accept your rather straightforward yet reserved manner.
* True. I restrict my associations, but it's because I forget people's names! hehehehe

You are steadfast and loyal, and do not allow gossip or anything belittling to be said against those whom you accept in friendship.
* Yes, it's the Samwise in me. Don't mess with my friends.

You find satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth.
* Yes, beach walks, woodland trails, etc.

There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines.
* Sadly, I am terrible at complex math. Simple calculations no problem.

This name can adversely affect the health of your respiratory organs, the heart and lungs.
* Boy, am I glad I quit smoking!

Also, you are prone to suffer from weaknesses centering in the head.
* hmmm... oh yeah?!?!

Greetings, welcome to the Moot! You sound pretty much like the typical Tolkien geek.

Elfhelm · 04-09-2002, 07:34 PM

Thanks, Darth. Also a Whovian and a Trekkie and a Princess Bride quoter. It's so sad. I might even be among my own kind finally!

Ooh, cool! A Tolkienite crazier than I am!

I'm not that good with Elvish, so I must ask: What's that mean?

You have no idea how right you are.

BeardofPants · 04-09-2002, 09:09 PM

By 'Whovian' do you mean "Dr. Who"? cool!

We're all mad here, some more than others. Welcome, welcome. Make yourself at home.

Elfhelm · 04-09-2002, 09:11 PM

Supposedly it means "a star shines on your path." Not 100% sure.

BBC had a TV show that ran longer than Bonanza in the states called Dr. Who. It has a really cool theme song that Pink Floyd referenced on several albums (especially Animals). Dr. Who is a time lord who travels through space and time in a ship that is supposed to be able to disguise itself but is stuck looking like a police call box. Dr. Who has been played by many actors. When he is very close to death he regenerates, and they replace him with another actor. To a Whovian an actor who played the Doctor is like Nimoy or Shatner to a Trekkie. There have also been movies, and unlike the Trek movies, they hired more famous actors to play the Doctor. I have most of the episodes that survive on tape, but it started in the 60's before they used video a lot, so the earliest shows are on film, and a fire at the BBC destroyed many of them. I have about 1400 hours on tape.

Whovians have a "favorite companion". Mine is Leila.

Fladrif · 04-10-2002, 12:05 AM

BeardofPants · 04-10-2002, 12:06 AM

Gah! Everyone's favourite doctor is Tom Baker, and ditto for Leila... Personally, I rather liked Patrick Troughton's rendition better, and Jamie is by far, the best companion.
