Yay, more celebrators! I know, Forever, i miss TT too. I still kind of like the sticky idea announcing his birthday... We'd need to decide who would pm a mod about that, tho, and also we should decide who should be in charge of the graphics contest, and if we're going to hold it in the contests section or here. (We could just make various Lij-related graphics and post them here, and not necessarily make it a contest. Whatever people want to do, tho.)

Edit: I was also thinking we could tell about songs or things like that that remind us of him, share memories of Lij-related situations we've experienced, etc... As far as songs go, the first line of Taking Over Me by Evanescence ("You don't remember me but I remember you') reminds me of when i got to see him at the ORC convention, because it's something i definitely won't forget, but i didn't get to actually meet him, and thus he probably wouldn't remember me. Still, it was wonderful to see him in person, and hear him talk and all... :)

First of all, that song is one of my all time favorites.
Second of all, you lucky girl! I hate you for meeting him, but I love you too.... Fandom is strange, isn't it?
Third of all, I would be willing to pm a moderator, since the global sticky was my idea. Though, if anyone had any ideas about which one before I did send out a pm, let me know first! They shouldn't be to hard to get in touch with... I hope...

Thanks for volunteering, Precious. The moderator in charge for the Swoon Board is currently FRODOFAN, but they change it weekly. You can always check the first thread (sticky) for more information.

I'd love to enter the contest myself, so it's probably not the best idea to have me hosting it. But if there's no one else willing to do so, I will.

Songs that remind me of Frodo...let's see. I know what you mean about Taking over me, Eariel, but in my opinion, Frodo and Evanescence don't fit that well together. Evanescence is a bit too dark for Frodo, if you know what I mean - but that's just my opinion.
One song that always reminds me of him is "Bright Eyes" (I wonder why :P), and many others that I can't recall at the moment. :)

I agree in that Evanescence can be kind of dark, but to me that fits with what Frodo had to go through, in Mordor and all. That is, it fits in some ways, at least--i can see what you mean, tho. But anyway, i can also see why Bright Eyes would remind you of him, just from looking at the title... ;)
Speaking of songs, i had said i would post some of my Lij-related ones, so...here's one i wrote a couple years ago on his b-day, fittingly. You see, a week previously i had seen him and Sean at ORC (on Jan. 21st, the anniversary of which was yesterday), and i was feeling kind of sad that it was over. So a week later, on Lij's b-day, i went on a walk at twilight, which i'm prone to doing lol, and wrote this song. And that kind of helped me feel less down and all. The song is basically supposed to be talking to him, but toward the end especially the line kind of starts to fade between whether i'm talking to Lij or to Frodo. lol So i'll explain a few Elvish terms in the song, and then i'll post it. Hope you like.
Menel--the sky
Anar--the sun
Ear (pronounced AY-arr, tho i know it looks like 'ear')--the sea

Twilight reflections

I walk at the dying of day,
Soft singing ere Sun wanes away:
Though glory cannot ever stay,
My heart never from you shall stray!

There's a moment
Ere the glory must die--
There are rainbows
In the changeful grey sky:
There's a quiet
Like the last lullaby,
Ere the Sun goes--
And Earth fades with a sigh.

In these halls of slow-deepening blue,
With the dusk veiling all from my view--
As the stars kindle silver anew--
Menel once more reminds me of you!

Heaven's laughter
I can see in your eyes:
Like the morrow,
Lost in Anar's sweet rise!--
Elvenfire
Caught me up to realize
Why I love you--
'Tis for who past it lies.

Though the Sun from bright amber must wane,
Still the night-fall comes sweet--without pain:
As I look to the veil of rain,
At day's end I remember again:

Love is always,
Though the night follows noon--
Dawn's no farther
Than the Dusk coming soon!--
Lost on far ways,
Neath the glimmering Moon--
Looking Star-ward,
I hear Ear's sweet tune:

Look for me
By the Sea--
Here I"ll be
Wistfully:

Heart bound to thee--
Eternally.

Ooh, this is so beautiful, Eariel! I love the emotions and the whole atmosphere of it. Just beautiful. You are so gifted, girl! :)


I thought I'd start posting pics, and I came across this one. I'm sure you've seen it before, but it's so cute, I'm never getting tired of looking at it!

Ooh, that's so sweet! I think i have seen it before, but it never hurts to look again! (And again and again and... lol) Glad you liked my song! Thank you! I'll post some more at some point. :)
Btw, i was thinking that the person who hosted the graphics contest wouldn't necessarily have to be the judge, and so could still participate. We could pm a mod to help judge, maybe. But anyway, whatever you guys think.

aww that pic is so cuteee *.*
and the song is beautiful Eariel!!! woah!!
also, about the contest, I'll probably enter, so let me know where and when it will be ;) :P

Gaaa! That pic is soooo cute!

I love the lyrics - very beautiful

I would judge for the graphics contest, but I would feel too guilty if I had to pick who won and who lost! Haha! I'm sure they'd all be beautiful!!

Post subject: 

Maybe we could have more than one judge. We should start soon, tho, since Lij's b-day is in three days. (Also, are we gonna have the contest here, or in the contests forum? You know, we could just have people make graphics and stuff without it having to be a contest, since we're short on time and all. Whatever you guys want, tho. I don't think we have to have the celebrations done by the day after his birthday, which is good because we've barely started. After all, Lij's b-day is worth partying for long and hard! :P )
Thanks, Precious and Revenge! Glad you liked my song. :)

I started the contest. You can view it here:

Feel free to enter!

If somebody would be willing to make the awards, I'd be really grateful, because I'm horribly short of time at the moment.

Thanks for starting that, Forever. I'm not completely sure if i'll enter--i thought i would, but then i realized that since i don't really have the mental drive to do a lij banner right now, it might not be best to force it out of myself. I'll see how it goes, tho, and i'm glad you have several entries already. :) I still love Lij, tho, of course! Only one more day till he's 27! Happy Lij's B-day Eve! lol
