A Picture of Me

LOL! How 'bout you, Lizra? Do you have that problem?

Do you have any pictures of yourself that you can post, Artanis? I'd like to see what you look like - there aren't too many other people that I know of that like (let alone even know about!)Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth (from book 10 of HoME) - I really enjoyed our discussion, and I'd love to see a pic of you

Thanks, EXK! I thought for awhile that I would have to send a copy of one of my wedding pictures from 16 years ago , but I managed to find one a little more recent (last summer). I made a color copy of it, then scanned that thru my scanner. It only saves in bmp or tif, though - which one should I send you? I can get it down to 12k in a jpeg format in paint, but it's pretty "pixillated" *hic* by then, so I think I'll need your expertise . Is your email addy in your profile, or do you want to PM it to me?

The only one I have got is with me in a bridesmaid dress though!! I have one of me at Alton Towers though, it is too big! *shrinks it* Ahhhhh!! It is still to big! How do you make it smaller??

[Artanis]

How small must it be?

10k or less for an Entmoot attachment (look at the bottom of the box when you type in a new post and you'll see the "attach file" section, along with the file types that are allowed)

Blackboar, I'd suggest asking EXK very nicely if she could do it for you - she just pretends to be *evil* - actually, she's very nice (sorry to give away your secret, EXK )

*sees EXK's post on the subject* Oh, ok - er, yes, she's actually very evil, but she has to pretend to be nice to fool people, so ask her and she'll probably do it because she's pretending to be nice even though she's really not but maybe she'll do it anyway and ... oh, nevermind!

*whispers: "Blackboar, she's really quite nice!"*

[Blackboar]

ok! Thanks Rian!!

*sigh* Ok, Andúril, I absolutely love humor and joking around, but would you please not include me, personally, in this aspect of the humor - I respect and enjoy sex, marriage and my husband too much to enjoy comments like that (i.e., comments like that from you, a single man, to me, a married woman). Thanks

I am definitely very elvish in this regard, BTW, as you will find out when you get to book 10 of HoME, Morgoth's Ring, in the section "Laws and Customs Among the Eldar". Here's some quotes (bolded emphasis is mine):

The Eldar wedded once for all. Many, as the histories reveal, could become estranged from good, for nothing can wholly escape from the evil shadow that lies upon Arda. Some fell into pride, and self-will, and could be guilty of deeds of malice, enmity, greed and jealousy. But among all these evils there is no record of any among the Elves that took another's spouse by force; for this was wholly against their nature, and one so forced would have rejected bodily life and passed to Mandos. Guile or trickery in this matter was scarcely possible (even if it could be thought that any Elf would purpose to use it); for the Eldar can read at once in the eyes and voice of another whether they be wed or unwed.

This was so important to them that they would have actually voluntarily died from the grief of it...

Permanent marriage was in accordance with elvish nature, and they never had need of any law to teach this or to enforce it...

[they] are by nature continent and steadfast.

I complimented you earlier on your looks and said that you reminded me of how I pictured a young Fingolfin; I hope that you (and all the other 'Mooters, too ) can also come to resemble the elves in this matter of sex and marriage, for I can testify to the fact that they got it right! (them elves are darn clever ) - a committed, loving marriage is fabulous!, and it is so worthwhile to "save yourself" for your spouse - sex is such a powerful, wonderful expression of love (and loads of fun, too ), and that's why it's one of the greatest gifts you can carefully guard and then fully give to the person that you love and respect so greatly that you wish to marry them. Sure, it's hard, but most of the worthwhile things in this world don't come easy, but are well worth it in the end. Just ask Frodo...

[Blackboar]

Hey RÃ*an!! I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of you either!

[Artanis]

Hmph, the only picture I can find of myself right now is one where I'm standing out in the snow, wearing a swimsuit, and being very pregnant. I'm definately not going to post that.

[Lizra]

Is that supposed to read "wearing a snowsuit", or are you going to tell us why a pregnant woman wears a swimsuit in the snow! I quit taking pictures altogether after Dean turned five! I'm over it! We get school pix, and all those sport pix, I dunno, I took pictures like crazy for years there...burn out! Do you older ladies have "Glamour shots"? Remember those! They were in all the malls for a while there. I wonder what SGH looks like, I think I've seen most everyone else. Oh yeah, Black Breathelizer! let's see it!

HE-HE, lol! There are in fact 6 girls in swimsuits on that picture, and 2 of them are pregnant. It was at a party in february two years ago. Me and my friends in a small hut, and a bathing tub with hot water located outdoors, beer&wine (unfortunately not for me), good food, and a servant!

Perhaps you have to be a Norwegian to enjoy this kind of parties.

[Rían]

Oy! I think I would politely pass on a party like that!

I like snow very much - but only when viewed through a nice picture window in front of a roaring fire with a cup of hot chocolate in my hand! Well, see if you can dig anything else up for us...

Andúril - you look like a friend of mine from Varsity, except he's blonde. Was your half nude pic taken at Sea Point?

You're such a little porn star.................

[Andúril]

Lizra:
Well, that's what I want to know....was she? Enquiring minds (nosey ) want to know the REAL story!

Nope. I was merely letting BoP know that I had found the pic that I had mentioned a couple posts back. She had seen the pic last year.

RÃ*an:

Exodus 20:16 (YLT)
`Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.

Hah!

No, the pic was taken at Hout Bay.

Little porn star? Hah!

[Baby-K]

Ok - sorry!!!! You are a big pornstar, huge, out of this world....... (shall I continue?)

I feel terrible today - was working until 12h30 last night & was back at the office 6h30 this morning. Plus I just had to fire someone, so this is turning into a really crappy day

[Andúril]

Baby-K:
Ok - sorry!!!!

Apology accepted.

No. For now, that is sufficient.

So where is your pic? I'm supposed to be laughing at you in my Barney voice, remember?

[Baby-K]

I'll have to c what I have here (I'm at work) me thinks I only have from our team building so that would look really bad (drunk & disorderly in the bush) - I shouldn't worry should I? After all I did promise you a good laugh.

I'll try to put 1 on by the end of the day, but I doubt that our stupid webmarshall will allow it (I tried to access a site with dolphins to get some pics for my mom - they denied access & classified it as pornographic, what's so porno about a dolphin? Except if you're referring to Danny Dolphin...)

Drunk and disordely in the bush? Sounds like fun...

So your mom's been checking out Danny, eh?

[Baby-K]

I much prefer Pikkie Pikkewyn myself.

I'm mostly drunk & disorderly - was in the bush again last week (I seem to spend a lot of time there) & next thing I know I am dancing on the bloody tables - with my clothes on <**nice change**>

Do you ever get into the bush?????
