Greetings fellow LOTR enthusiasts!

[Jedi Scoke Faofa]

Please allow me to introduce myself. My screenname, as you can see, is Jedi Scoke Faofa, but you can just call me Scoke if you'd like. That's my screenname at almost everywhere I go, but there are some with variations.

I found out about this site on TFN. It looks really cool, and I am really hoping this is a good discussion site, not a board where everyone comes in and says "Orlando Bloom is hot!!! LOL!! OMG!! *thud*". I'm so sick of that. I quit numerous LOTR boards because of that.

I have a website of my own, which is in my profile and sig. It's a Star Wars one, so if any of you like that galaxy far, far away just like Middle Earth, my forum is always there for you.

Just a few things about myself...

I love writing. I mostly write FanFiction, historical(whether it is Renaissance/Medieval, or in the 1860s), and sometimes modern. I also enjoy writing scripts as well. I enjoy reading just about anything, and I like reading other's work too. I'm a pretty good editor too. Fixing grammar/spelling mistakes and other editorial chores come second nature to me.

Age: 18

Location: Near the St. Louis MO area in the USA.

Occupation/Drudgery: I currently work at Barnes and Noble. I love it there!

Musical Interests: Cello rock. It's a type of rock that is basically done by cellos. My favorite band, Apocalyptica, is the best example of this innovative sound. Check them out at www.apocalyptica.com . I also like classical music too, mostly movie soundtracks. I also enjoy listening to classic rock, like Queen and Van Halen.

Movie Interests: Wow.. Where do I begin? I love anything Star Wars, first and foremost. That is one of my big things. I'm a Star Wars freak. I also love Lord of the Rings, of course, which is why I'm here. I like anything that has a really good plot/story/script, and great acting helps too. It's a shame that's kinda rare in most movies lately...

Athletic interests: I don't like much sports. Never understood them. But one activity that has really shaped who I am is fencing. I have been fencing now for about four years. I now teach classes with the fencing group I am a part of now. It's the best thing I have ever gotten into. We don't do the bad Olympic stuff either; we do the classical style.

Other interests: I like making designing websites. Also, I really like Photoshop, and am pretty good with it. Actually, I'm addicted. LOL. I have some of my work up online and if you are interested, you can visit the link to my deviantART account in my sig.

Hope to talk with you all more on the boards here!

Very well. I'll call you Scofe.

It's great that we have someone that wants to participate in the discussions.

Noone has said that kind of stuff... yet... and hopefully never will.

I made this site to be a discussion of Tolkien and fun for all, and that is what I'll continue to strive for. Hopefully it's what you're looking for.

I have a website of my own, which is in my profile and sig. It's a Star Wars one, so if any of you like that galaxy far, far away just like Middle Earth, my forum is always there for you.

I know for a fact that nearly everyone here has some sort of interest in Star Wars... as nearly all have came from TF.n.

I'll check out your site.

Oooh... you don't know how much I love those kind of things that you seem to like writing. What about the 1940's?

I've written some scripts but only posted on before... a long time ago (last March) on TF.n. They're very fun to write.

Barnes and Nobles is a cool place; haven't been lately. I like the coffee....

Must be fun working there.

Rock is pretty cool!

It really is sad that so few movies today are actually written well.

These stupid romance/sex movies are driving me off the edge. #49#

I like basketball, football, and soccer, I guess. I've tried fencing before and it's pretty cool... but I only find it entertaining when you've filmed it so you can see if it looks right. Otherwise, I go crazy.

I'll check it out. Looks interesting.

Welcome to our humble home!

[Gorbin]

Welcome...

[Shire Princess]

:)Hello, and welcome to the boards.
I look forward to talking with you!.

[Jedi Scoke Faofa]

Thanks to all who welcomed me!

Bacon, I think we agree on many things, including the romance/sex movies. Makes me sick when I see all that stuff. I avoid them at ALL costs.

Oh, and working at Barnes and Noble ROCKS. ;D

Talk to you all later!

[minyaliel]

Fencing? That's cool, I'm doing that too (Wow, suddenly I find people who don't think fencing is a strange thing to do lol) Anyway, welcome ;D

[bacon]

The only modern movies that are really any good moral wise, are the Star Wars and LOTR films.

Even Disney movies have fallen.

[Jedi Scoke Faofa]

The only good Disney movie of late has been Pirates of the Caribbean. Most of all Disney movies of late just suck. They spend too much time with bringing up stupid preppy teeny-boppers on the Disney channel to become "actresses" or "actors". Makes me sick.

What kind of fencing do you do Minyaliel? Olympic (electric) or classical (non-electric)?

[minyaliel]

Olympic - I'd love to try classical, though.

BTW, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy rocks (and is a Disney movie)

[Sword the Valiant]

I haven't seen it yet.
