Hi. My name is Forest and some of you may recognise me from groups
like HL or JFA. For those who don't I'll tell you a bit about myself.

I live in Merry Ol' England which isn't very merry at the moment
because of everlasting rain, wind and hail! :(
I love LOTR and The Hobbit with a passion (also helps that I like to
read in general). I have tried to read The Silmarillion but failed
after the first few chapters. It didn't help that I spent a week
trying to read the beginning and then discovered that I wasn't
reading a chapter, I was reading the foreword! *smacks self on
head* A prime example of stupidity! LOL!

Hobbies? Well, as I said I love to read. I also like to sketch, go
out with friends, watch movies/cinema, tv, face-painting (that's a
thing a t the moment. I'm practising for doing face-painting at a
kids fun day at our local church!) Uhm.....oh, and I can speak
French and German (not fluently), a few words in Russian and
Japanese. And when I say a few words, I mean just that! ;)


So, that's me to a T!

Luv
~Forest

Hmm...not sure I know those lists, but we're glad to have you anyway!

But doesn't it always rain in England? ;-) Just had to tease!

The Silm is a very much different style from The Hobbit and LOTR. Give
another try after awhile. Once you get into it, it can be quite
fascinating.

Oooh! You know that means I *have* to try and recruit you for making Awards
Banners, right? We want enough to make a contest out of that, to see which
banner will represent each award.

Very cool! I can speak French, German, and Czech (not fluently), and a few
words in Russian, Japanese, and Lakota! I once learned a greeting in
Tagalog but I think I've forgotten it. ;-)
