![]() But you can only blame yourself, if you're seen as a stern, aloof, figure. Infrequent posting, a position of authority, and a self-title of 'High King" will get ya that. ![]()

I think Val just needs a biiiiiiiiiiiig hug ![]() "And now he's a king who's down" she said while offering Val a hand up. ![]()

Ha-ha!
![]() * accepts Mari's hand... but then pulls her back down, then gets up * Appreciated the hug though. ![]() - - - - - SAC - in all seriousness though... or at least a LITTLE more seriousness... It's surprising to hear if really I'm seen as stern and aloof though. Unless you were joking there. It's true, I don't post like I used to. But, back in the day I sure did. I was everywhere. After awhile though, I just shifted focus back to what I call the 'North side' of the board - the Tolkien sub-forums. I lost interest in the religious and political debate threads. Not only were there always a few people who didn't really want to 'play nice' in them, but... I don't think I ever once saw anybody change their mind. ![]() So... I've gone back to why I first came here anyway. ![]() Some combination of Tolkien and 'tackle-hugs' by the young ladies. ![]() PS: And the "High King" thingee... just a title relative to my character name, and his descendants for a few more generations. Predates even my becoming a Moderator though. And Earniel likes to tease me about it.

I still remember "Go north! Be nice!" I thought that was brilliant. That was you, wasn't it Val?

Well, I spend more time in the playpen.
![]() Do you know anything about Myers-Briggs/Kiersey personality types? I'm an INTJ. INTJ's are really dedicated to evaluating authority...if I decide someone is an authoritative source, I listen, and if not, not. Since my list of "authoritative sources" in Tolkien is much shorter than most here, I don't enjoy the literary forums. Most of what people bring in as source material might as well be Marvel comics, by my standards. ![]() But look at us. I've posted a couple of thousand posts, and this is the first conversation we've ever had, basically. Yeah, I've seen you as aloof. Nice to meet you, though. ![]()

(SCA - I should have said, not 'SAC') Personality tests: I generally don't have the patience for them. Or at least for the conclusions they seem to make. What kind of personality does that make me? ![]() We would welcome informed participation in the JRRT forums though. We used to have more folks around who were more in-depth. You could probably find lots of good threads, though like choice pearls, you may have to dive deep for them. I think as we start to get a little of it showing itself, more follows, because others who check out the site casually could see something of particular interest to them in what is discussed, and begin to join in themselves. Those who are looking for that kind of thing. *as a kid preferred DC, but wonders what's wrong with Marvel comics* ![]() ![]() Any chance of getting you to try my fanfic? It's totally consumed with the Northern Dunedain though - so it's a bit obscure for some folks' liking.

Tea for me, too, please. With lemon, such a nice day.
![]() Thank you for the invitation, Val. ![]() ![]() My real life has abundant stress, so a little intellectual debate energizes me, but actual nastiness is too common. ![]()

*makes Sis a Lemon tea*
*hands the cup to Sis, sits down and puts her elbows on the table* Sooo, Sis. Tell me: did you get to meet Cinderella or Tinkerbell? Maybe I should start calling you Tink. I like Tink.

I had a lovely time at Disney, but I didn't go into any of the parks.
I stayed in luxurious surroundings, swam nearly every day, visited with old friends and made some new ones, painted china, watched fireworks, watched giraffe and kudu at the waterhole from my bedroom balcony, made s'mores and saw Chip and Dale, then watched a movie under the stars, went on a special date with a long barefoot walk along a sand beach, a fancy dinner in a 4 star restaurant and a short trip home...I talked with people about the differences in voting systems between the US and South Africa, and the difficulty of representing African cuisine with local ingredients, and congratulated an old friend recently back from his honeymoon. Tink and I are old friends. ![]()

Oh, that sounds like a great time!
*sigh* And a romantic one. *another sigh* And a multicultural one... *is a bit jealous while wondering if she'll get to take a weekend off should she finally be able to find a job* *sighs a happy dreamy sigh* I wanna dance with Tink. Maybe she could take me for a flight. You wanna dance with me Sis?

*pokes head out from under the table at the smidgen of a sign of somebody thinking about Glorfindel*
Say what now? Ooh! Tea! ![]() And fairies... Disney fairies are crazy man, those wings totally break the laws of physics. Aerodynamic they are not. *crawls out to show off her own lovely (and realistically proportioned)wings*
