I like music and dance and acting and that sort of thing (beside LotR, that is, obviously). Hello linwen, Merry, Pip and anyone else who I forgot! What kind of dance do you do Linwen? I'm in ballet and lyrical.

Hi, mellon nin! I'm Eruanwen! Here's some of my bio;
Age: 26 Occupation: Preschool teacher School: Seminary Interests: Lord of the Rings Enthusiast, Writer, Reader, Sign Language
I got into LOTR because of the movies and now I have read the books and I am so stuck on them! I love to write and I am working on a trilogy that is a bit of a spiritual allegory. I've also written some LOTR fanfiction and I am continuing a Hobbit fanfic on my website. I read all kinds of books, but my fav has to be The Neverending Story. I sign music to songs and I love it because it is an awesome whay to express yourself. I'm also a Christian, but you probably guessed that because I am in seminary. I am working on a masters in theology with an emphasis in Biblical Exposition. That's all I can think to say right now. I can't wait to get to know everyone!!!

Welcome Eruanwen!! My sister knows sign language, and is pretty fluent with it. I've always wished I had learned it with her... it's amazing to watch her in conversations with people.

I didn't realize there was such an intrest in sign language! That's my second language, as my sister thats a couple of years younger than me is deaf, so I grew up with it. I didn't know you know sign language, Galadwen!

A while back, my teacher was taking an exam in sign language, so we learnt a little bit from her. Then, for a few weeks at a group I go to, we had a couple of people in, who taught us loads, so I know a bit, enough to start some kind of conversation.

Wow! So many people know sign! Too bad we can't see each other and speak in ASL!!! That would be so awesome! I signed a song in church today. I can't sing at all so I am so glad I can do something with song. I love using my hands! Thanks all for the warm welcome! I already feel like this is a home!

Hello, I am new here. I joined because I know someone from another board. His name is Elessar. I cannot say I will post often, but I will come and post. First I think that I will spend the time that I do come here in reading through the threads and all, before I get too much into posting. ;D I recently took a class at a church on signing. I have always been one who uses their hands when speaking, and can get quite animated when talking about something. The class used the book The Joy of Signing and I loved the class!! I have begun to inquire on how I can learn more. ASL, or signing, has always held great appeal to me, and I would love to incorporate it into my life. One of the deaf co-teachers at the class told me that just learning it is not as effective as having someone to practice with as one learns. In fact, she said it can accelerate my learning. Anyway, I came by to say hello. Hello! Ps I picked this screen name because I am an elder LOTR's fan. I might be one of the oldest here. I hope that is ok by you all. PPs I also love your smilies!!!

Great to see you here, and your name is perfectly acceptable. I'm also slightly older than many fans, though I am not the oldest here (I'm 33). Elessar is a very popular mod and member here and though all new members are very welcome, any friend of his is even more so.
Have a great time!
