And make sure it's 100x100 as well.  I like the neatness. You're now permitted to upload an avatar, so you can go ahead whenever you're ready. 
*jumps up and down in glee* GW has a quote from Les Misérables!!! *jumps up and down repeatedly*

Best
verse in the entire musical. And there are a lot of good verses in that
one... It's the one musical that I would not feel at all uncomfortable
performing for an audience of elves.

Have you read the book?
It's better than the musical, of course, but I think the musical
(unlike the LotR movies) stays with the spirit of the book very well.

If you allow me, I'd like to come back to *Sondinóre as the Quenya translation of Dorthonion and to this last name as well, accordingly to what can be found in Parma Eldalamberon 17 :
- Dorthonion itself is no
pure Sindarin but is Sindarin Noldorized and was thus probably used as
such in Quenya. The real Sindarin name would have been Dor i Thuin (p. 81).
- If a "purer" quenya name was to be found, it is important to
keep in mind that the word for 'pine' comes from √THĂN, √THĀN ('kindle;
fire, light, set light to' - p. 187). Tolkien gives a Quenya derivative
: th-, sāne- (p. 81). At the least, should we not have *Sandinóre ? And I'm not sure about the di part of it ...

I'll leave that to Aikanáro to sort out - I don't know any Quenya.
Question - does anyone have one of these phones? I have to get a new one when I get back to the States, and it looks really nifty.

I don't expect to have much computer access over the weekend. There are still some RP posts that I can prepare on paper .

Welcome back from wherever you were this weekend, Varna! I see you online.
It's a lovely day today, but I feel rather wretched...it seems I always take ill the week before finals.

I need to watch this thread - I'm afraid you're not online any more now when I finally read it 
And this place was strangely quiet as well, after having such active first days

Varna (and Findarato), | Quote: | | You could ask Braeden whether she wants any of hers included. |
Braeden would only suggest her current RP... The others seem to have fallen by the wayside.
But regarding HftGD, I might wait until the adventure is well underway before getting it linked here.
Glorfindel's Ward - love your sig! I fell in love with that verse when I first heard the musical. *hasn't seen it yet*
*needs to read the book too*
*... and The Phantom of the Opera book*

I
haven't seen it yet either. It played where I am a few years ago, but
tickets were expensive and sold out far in advance so I missed that
chance.
Mental images just aren't same... And reading the book while simultaneously listening to the soundtrack doesn't work either.
