Rowena of Swampkeep
Greetings! If you're reading this you must want to know some more about myself. Well, I shall start off by telling you that I am a sixteen-year-old girl who is currently living a dull life in Swampkeep, Trimaris. Never heard of Swampkeep? That's because we're just a canton. I mean, we're plenty big enough to be a shire, we just don't want all the bother. Our barony is Darkwater. Still confused as to what I'm jabbering on about? Just visit this web site to find out about Darkwater, or if you don't know anything at all about the S.C.A. just go to for info 'cause I don't want to explain. If you are still reading this, Kudos! If you are still reading this after being completly confused untill you went to the S.C.A. site, Mega Kudos! If you were so confused that you just decided to abandon the cause, NoKudos. You should at least try to understand. My hair color is a nice auburn and israthe curly. My eye colorchanges depending on a number of things. I'm pale as death, and 5'3'. I usualy dress in dark colors, and quite a chunck of my closet is green. Anyway,my favorite book is without question:As the Candle Burnswich is a Romance/Horror/Fantasy/Mystery novel by Jocelyn M. Borge. My next favorite book is J.R.R. Tolkine's epic masterpiece: The Lord of the Rings. I mostly wright angsty LOTR stories, though I've been known to branch out. Now this is the part where you scroll down, see my list of posted stories,(or rather, lack thereof) and say; "Dude, you haven't written anything.". But you would be wrong. I have two dest drarws and six shelves full of handwritten fanfiction manuscrips. All of which were penned in the wee hours when my mom thought I was asleep. The only sticky part is takeing the time to edit them, spellcheck, and type them up on my ancient computer(I swear, they had better technology in the stone age!). Add that to the fact that I am the Queen of procrastination...-sigh- But I WILL do it. This week. I WILL have a post by 1/29/06. The story will be called, Web of Lies and will be a freindship fic staring Aragorn and Legolas. And before I start it I would like to make one thing abundantly clear, there will be NO SLASH! I have no problem with gay people or the concept of slash, just as long as it stays out of LOTR. Any LOTR slash is an insult to the Trilogy. Tolkine must be rolling in his grave. So I won't read it, or write it. Period. Just a few of my favorite quotes. I don't remember where I heard them or who said them unless otherwise noted: "Examine what is said, not him who speaks it." "Do not remove a fly from your freind's forehead with a hachet." "To know the road ahead ask those comeing back." "Call on God, but row away from the rocks." "Men are like bagpipes; you won't get a thing out of them untill they're full." "The best armor is to keep out of range." "The reverse side also has a reverse side." "Rejoice not at thine enemie's fall, but don't rush to pick him up either." "Speak the truth, but leave immidetly after." It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this. Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970) The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness, can be trained to do most things.Jilly Cooper Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. William Congreve (1670 - 1729), The Mourning Bride, 1697, act III scene 8 Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. Mark Twain Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't. Mark Twain If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man. Mark Twain In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards. Mark Twain Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow. Mark Twain Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. Mark Twain |
