Sanaedhel Member	posted 05-20-2008 07:26 AM quote: Originally posted by nessaheart: Thank you. I was also very confused. It made me wonder whether I was having a bad sarcasm day or not. Hey Neil, hey Cindy. Hey Matt. Nice to meet you all. *Cindy, by any chance, have you ever read Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy? Sabriel* and Lirael and Abhorsen? Your username sounds a bit like something out of there.** sorry but no...my username is actually something I created a few years ago using 2 suffixes(one each from the Sindarin and Quenya languages created by Tolkien) to create one name...I originally made it for a friend at her request but when she stopped using it I took it over and have been using it for many years...now I'm putting it into a book I've just barely started writing using it as the title of a new race IP: Logged

You like Tolkien's languages too? I tried to teach myself Elvish a year ago, but gave up because there were so many gaps in the vocabulary and it was rather hard to form sentences. A lot of my usernames on various sites are Elvish, though. This one isn't-it's one of the rare ones. What does Sanaedhel mean, if you don't mind me asking? IP: Logged

Sana(quenya)=vampire edhel(sindarin)=elf and if you do want to learn the language try this site http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/qcourse.htm I haven't finished it yet but it's pretty good it's the best one I found and it took me a while to find it. I also have a few other sites that might be helpful too so just let me know if you would like them. feel free to hit me up on myspace or any other sites IP: Logged
NeilUnreal Junior Member	posted 05-20-2008 04:39 PM My nickname, NeilUnreal, has been my real life nickname for most of my life. One time, long ago, I was in a group of friends who were playing that game where you say your name and something about yourself and everyone tries to remember it. Other people were saying things like “Bob Red Hair” and Sally “Piano.” But when it came my turn, I just said “Neil Unreal.” I have no idea where it came from, I just blurted it out. (This was a long, long time before there was a computer game named Unreal.) But the name stuck with that group of friends and followed me from then through several subsequent groups of friends, various moves, etc. It has even followed me to work, and I actually have business acquaintances who call me Neil Unreal, lol. -Neil [This message has been edited by NeilUnreal (edited 05-20-2008).] IP: Logged

WitchofWest10 Member	posted 05-29-2008 08:49 AM Hello, I am Melissa age 22 and happy to know I'm not the only poster in my twenties here! Anyway I have recently made a few posts without introducing myself, and I apologize for not doing so. I'm glad that I found this thread so it made it easier, I would have felt weird just randomly doing so. IP: Logged

Wicked RENThead Junior Member	posted 06-06-2008 08:37 PM Hello, I'm Whitney and I'm 15. Let's see... I'm crazy about musicals. Luckily for me I live in New Jersey so I can take the train in and see Broadway shows quite often. My top three favorites are RENT, Spring Awakening, and (of course) Wicked. This idea of getting to know people in the forum is quite a good one. I don't think I've seen it on any other forums. IP: Logged
helenbooktrip Moderator	posted 06-06-2008 09:32 PM we're a pretty close knit family here, so hopefully you all can become a part of that. take us with a grain of salt and we should all be okay! ------------------ IP: Logged
DarkElphie Junior Member	posted 06-07-2008 02:53 PM Hello My name is Monica, I'm 14 years old and from Portugal. I simply love Wicked (musical and book, but specially the book) and Son of a Witch. I also love everything related to the Wizard of Oz, its been one of my favourite stories since I was a little girl. And... that's basically me! Also I apologize in advanced for any spelling mistake, my first language is portuguese, so sometimes I might give some spelling mistakes. IP: Logged
EminentThropp Member	posted 06-07-2008 06:48 PM Hi Monica! Thats funny Monica is one of my favourite names. No worries about the (possible) future spelling mistakes I'm sure everybody here will be as patienat as possible. IP: Logged
helenbooktrip Moderator	posted 06-07-2008 08:31 PM spelling mistakes are fine. they are mistakes. it's when people start using improper grammar on purpose....like chat speak. anyway, we won't get into that! welcome all your new members! ------------------ IP: Logged
