Hey! yeah I'm new. I've actually been waiting for my account to be activated for a while now, but I realize the administrators have a lot to look at, and am just glad I'm finally here! I have loved Tolkien's works for a long time now, especially the books, (obsessed and proud). I read The Hobbit when I was 8, and soon found The Lord of the Rings. They are my absolute favorite stories! Besides reading I love to draw. I'm a huge fan of John Howe's and Alan Lee's. Arwen-undomiel is an awesome site, and I can't wait to start posting!
(haha I love the emoticons!)
(The emoticons are so awesome here. 
) I'm glad your account finally did get activated, and I hope you enjoy the forum! It's tons of fun here, and Tolkien-lover's heaven! Go on ahead and explore all you want, and if you've ever got questions, just PM me. 
See you around!
