Ooops, or third, apparently. XD

Hello, Gabrielle! Let me be second to welcome you. 😉
I’m actually a fellow Tolkienite and I had never read that poem… I just went and looked it up and now I’m choking. THAT. IS. AMAZING. I have a new favorite. Thanks so much for recommending it!And your book sounds lovely. Welcome to KP. 🙂

@daeus Of course. I was just testing you.

@Ethryndal I’m real glad you’re on KP. You’re so fun (are you SURE you’re an INTJ? 😛 ), and I’m absolutely loving the LotR/Hobbit rants we keep having. I LOVE ranting with fellow fans (and nitpickers), especially when they’re having fun too. 😀
Not to mention you’re just…nice. I mean, about prayer requests and stuff… I love fun people who’re…[Read more] -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@Ethryndal *lowers voice not at all* Of course I’ve seen the extended version. What kind of fan do you think I am?
That scene is sad, but not long enough in my oh so humble opinion. They didn’t even have the funeral; it just showed them there! I needed to see more mourning too—from a close up, personal stand point. But what really gets me is…[Read more] -

@Ethryndal YES. All that. Poor Fili. *sniff* I think I cried over it, but even if I didn’t there was shocked screaming inside. (*lowers voice even more confidentially* And I’d have preferred it if Fili and Kili died the same way as they did in the book…that’d have been so much sweeter. Defending Thorin with shield and body and all that. But of…[Read more]

@daeus Either way, I like Obi-wan the best. *flies away on mop*

And also your intelligence is not judged the range of your vocabulary. 😉

I took it yet again, after I memorized all the words I missed and now I must be smarter or something, because I got estimated 39,100. 😛

@sierra-r I took a look at that list. I was surprised to find that tricorn was on it.
Woah! Even more interestingly, there’s that annoying red squiggly line beneath it that says it’s misspelled. -

@hannah-krynicki
No problem! I hope your novel is going well. 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions. 😀 British culture is simply fascinating (especially the accents; I LOVE British accents!). -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Size of a Writer's Vocabulary in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
For those of you surprised they didn’t do better, thought I’d point out that this test is a knowledge quotient test, not necessarily a judge of how deep your vocabulary is. Most of the words on that list I could have figured out just by dissecting their roots, but as I was supposed to click the ones I knew I let them lie. Also, though this…[Read more]

@ethryndal Ooh, that’s a good one. Here are a few that I missed on the vocab test. (trust me, there are more 😛 )
Parsimonious: Excessively cheap with money; stingy
Svelte: Slender and graceful
Embonpoint: Plump
Funambulist: Tightrope walker

@Daeus Ah wait—he’s a Sith because he’s dealing in absolutes by saying unequivocally that “Chancellor Palpatine is evil!” and “Then you are lost” ?
How close to the mark did I come… -

@daeus Okay, so hypothetically, you’re right. Does that make me a Sith?

@Emma-Flournoy Awww, that’s so sweet. *wipes away tear* I wish you could see me over here, smiling like a loon. I’m so glad I found KP, and all you lovely people. My family moved two years ago, and during that time I haven’t found a single person that gets me. It’s so nice to finally be a part of a group of kids who are zany and LOTR geeks, and…[Read more]
Welp, I’m glad you found it too. You add lots of loveliness. 😀
*hugs back* That’s makes me happy. 🙂
And that—
“Oh, and I like to think I’m a unique INTJ…not as cold-hearted as most of my kind…”
—works. 😀 😀 😀 Excellent notion.
Random question: may ask your name? Or not, for safety reasons…but merely curious. 😉
Sarah Baran. *bows* At your service.
Ooh, what a Tokienesque last name. 🙂
How old are you?
Hmm, Tolkienesque? It’s been called many things, but never that. I like you. *firm nod* (It’s actually Polish, so now you can tell people you know someone with Polish roots 🙂 )
I’m 15, soon to be 16 in July. You’re sixteen, right? I think I saw that floating around here somewhere. 🙂
@Ethryndal Oh Polish, cool! Well, Tolkien got lots of his inspiration from the Nordic languages he loved. 😀
Flournoy is French, though that’s not the only blood we have.
Oh my, I thought for some reason you were older…take that as a compliment! 🙂 Yes, I’m sixteen, though I don’t know that that’s floated around here ’cause I only turned it…[Read more]
Heh, well, I might have been being creepy…I was going through and reading every one’s introduction in Start Here, and I think yours said you were 15, but that was back in May. So I figured that if you weren’t 16 yet, you would be sometime this year… 🙂 Anyway.
I thought you were older too, so the feeling’s mutual. 😀
Hey, that’s not creepy. Introductory posts are there for a reason. 😀
I figured it was something like that, but then I thought I hadn’t said my age in mine. Guess I was wrong. 😉
Aaand… what state do you live in?
@Ethryndal
@Emma-Flournoy Haha, sorry, didn’t see this.
I’m from Maryland. *tries to think of something dramatic to say and can’t* Yeah. Maryland. We have fried chicken. 🙂
@Ethryndal I figured. Hence the tag. 😉 No worries.
How lovely. I envision Maryland as being really lush and green, though maybe I’m confusing it with Maine. 😛
And hey, who needs drama if you can have fried chicken.
You’re actually not wrong. It IS lush and green. Lots of farms. Cows. Hills. Overall, a very underrated state. In my humble opinion. 😉
Aaaaaand what state do YOU live in?
Ohhhh how gorgeous!
Oops, I figured you knew already since you’d been reading the introductions…mebbe I didn’t say there. 😛
Ohio. With…caves! In the Hocking Hills, where we run a cabin business in the treeish hills. 🙂 And the main tourist attraction around is caves/overhangs with their waterfalls. Very pretty. *nods*
Ha, I’m so dumb. It says that right in your profile. XD
I didn’t know Ohio has caves! Maybe I should have… Now I want to see one. Especially with the waterfalls. *dreamy sigh* I somehow knew you had a cabin business though, so my snooping hasn’t been entirely useless. 🙂
Eh well, I guess someday you’ll just have to take a trip here. 😉
Hey, ya never know… 😛 😀
