*cries* awww, I'm going to miss you! I know what its like to get addicted to video games . Kinda pathetic that the main wallpaper and front wallpaper to my phone is Link, and my ringtone is the theme song.... I hope you'll come visit from time to time!

I was reading LOTR for like the 50th time [that time of year I guess, when the snow covers my home into a cocoon of ice and silence], when I reached the Entmoot section of TTT. So . . . how could I not drop in and say "hellllllooooo" to old friends.

Y'all probably figured this out already, but I'm kind of taking a break from messagboards, for personal reasons. Anyone who wants to contact me can do so on AIM or (the best way) through my LJ

Take care, all.

Hello everyone, been a while . And I'll probably be gone again before long, but I thought I'd drop in.


HELLO FINROD!

I still remember you for sure, from our roleplaying days. Want to rejoin Atharon?

Hey Lief! What's up?

Finrod, it seems, just popped in shortly and left again.

Thanks for the welcomes .

Thanks for the welcome, Mari . You got my Friendliest Mooter nomination, in the posters forum! Very good to "see" you again.

Acalewia, A Hypocrite May Have Spoken, But I Pray, Convict Him Not!

. . . . . . . Mercy . . . . . . . . Take thy sword from my neck . . .

I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know, I MUST post. I love Atharon. I just don't know who that king is. And I've been just too distracted to think about it. I must decide. And it was a good question your lady asked. *Sheepish*. Well . . . do you have any ideas for how I could fenaggle with his character? If you think of something, maybe that will spark thoughts in my head too, and something will fly out onto the paper. That's how Falathion and I developed much of the Atharon world.

You know some about the island raiders' vile culture now, I think, that they're cruel, debauched, depraved, vile and ferocious, not cowardly but evil, sicko, powerful magically-empowered warriors. And they live in a lot of luxury, suppressing a lot of poor slaves. So if you think of any ideas, given what you know, let me have them and maybe I'll use it, or parts of it, or maybe it will just spark something in me that I decide to fly with. I need help with this one right now- my brain is too rebellious to our beautiful world of Atharon right now to be trusted.




Jonathan, quite a lot has been going on with me. Lots and lots, all of it good. My relationship with God is deepening and blessing my life more than ever, is the single sentence summary . I've been doing a lot of devotions, a lot of soul-searching, and have been going through a lot of momentous changes. I'm extremely grateful for what's been happening to me and in me in the last year, since I converted to Catholicism.

How are you doing?

I'll read through it again and see what I can come up with.

I didn't realize you only recently converted to Catholicism. I thought you always were

Thanks . It's nice to be back, and nice to sift through some of these threads again (my old haunts) and read the insightful comments you and others have been posting since I left. You have a lot of knowledge.

By the way, have you seen that CNN article about the manager who was a multimillionaire but got fired from his business, lost everything and got "saved by Starbucks"? I think they submitted the article to give people hope, because of the economic crisis, and it was a neat story about how one can to some extent control one's interior attitude toward one's conditions. So the subject chap in the article was saying that exterior conditions are totally unstable and can dump a person any time, but it's one's attitude toward one's conditions that really matters. The happiness of a person, and the sense of fulfillment they have in life, come from inside, and people shouldn't allow their environment to control their attitude or feeling of fulfillment, when it runs sour.

That was basically the message of the article, and I thought it was very good. I think the subject guy is writing a book on his experience, now. I hope it achieve's what I think was CNN's goal, of giving people a little optimistic plus in these increasingly difficult times.

Thank-you. Though I hate to make you bother . . . I think I'll just go and figure out an idea tonight, before going to bed.


. . . That's funny. I just noticed that when I rap my knuckles against my forehead, it makes a sound like plastic.

Nope . If you actually look carefully, you may notice a few criticisms of the Papacy and the Catholic hierarchy built into the Atharon world's framework. I wrote those in while I was Protestant and disagreed with a lot of the Catholic Church's belief and practice. I actually used to be a little afraid that if I ever succeeded in getting Gwai to join Atharon, he'd notice them and get cantankerous.
