Why hello.

[dracomalfoy]

I almost never post introductory posts, but I guess that's because most of the time I forget. So I'm going to just not forget this time!

HEY. I'm Shelby. Or Pajamas. Whichever. I'm eighteen, turning nineteen on... wait for it.... DECEMBER 15TH. THAT'S RIGHT. OPENING NIGHT OF THE HOBBIT. I've had birthday plans since I knew about it a year ago.

I like (obviously) the LOTR trilogy, both the books and the movie. I'm also a Potterfan, which should also be obvious. I like the HP books better than the LOTR book since I grew up with HP, but don't kill ne I prefer the LOTR movies. Heh.

I've been roleplaying for about five years now... I think. I graduated this year and moved south! Yes! Because I lived in northern BC, Canada. Now I live in southern BC. Because BC is the most beautiful province in Canada. Just sayin'.

Some other things I really like are video games. LOVE Pokemon. So much love. When I was little I refused to get out of bed for school unless I could watch Pokemon. So we bought many Pokemon VHS tapes. I also really like World of Warcraft and League of Legends. A bunch of other video games that I can't think of right now. I like the Star Wars movies. OH. I also like playing Magic: The Gathering, though that's a card game.

Oh man, how could I forget. I'm also a huge theatre junkie. Not like the movie theater though. More like plays and musicals on stage. That is so much fun. I've been in 4 musicals, and 2 plays.

Anyways. That's me. Shelby. Pajamas. Uhh. Yeah. Oh, right now I have one character, Draco Malfoy (obviously). You'll be seeing him around shortly! Tada.

Woot for Canadian Girls! Although I personally think you BC girls got nothing on us Albertan girls

Haha, you're probably going to kill me, but I have never actually red the LOTR series... I've read the Hobbit, and made it to chapter 8 of the first book. I think I've started reading it maybe 5 times, but I've either lost interest, found something else to read, or have lost the book in the junk pile that is my room. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE. Gahhh, the trailers I've seen look amazing! It must be super exciting that you get to go one your birthday!!

So here's a few things about me! My name is Wrenna, I am turning 15 this November 18th and am not really going to be doing anything but studying for my midterms

I'm a pretty academic person, and tend to get super stressed out/frustrated VERY easily, in other words a worry wart. But I really love biking, reading, dance and video games as well, always a fun time!

THEATER IS SO MUCH FUN. What plays/musicals have you been in??

[dracomalfoy]

Musicals: Detective Webb in Teens in Tinseltown, Holly in The Wedding Singer, giant/bird/chicken in Into the Woods, and Mel in Back to the 80's.

Plays: Man in Death, and Coach in Hopeless Hamlet.

Hello! My name is Cara, I'm 23 years old and I live in Northern Ireland. My parents lived in Saskatchewan for a number of years so I have Canadian citizenship (my Dad still heads out to BC to salmon fish every autumn). I've only ever visited Vancouver and Silver Star but I would love to go back. You both live in a very beautiful country.

Ohemgee, The Hobbit! I am so freaking excited!! I am a big Lord of the Rings fan, as well as Harry Potter fan (as I'm sure that much is obvious). I did some travelling back in 2009 and spent three months in New Zealand's South Island. I went on this amazing Lord of the Rings day trip to visit where Edoras was constructed:



(Instead of a generic image I really ought to dig out some photos of my friend and I brandishing swords and generally acting the eejit ;D)

I love horse riding, belly dancing, taking photographs, playing video games (Legend of Zelda forever <3), reading, fly fishing, travelling, being artsy and crafty, baking cakes and cooking.

Oh, and I play Cassidy Clawford and Laria Mackenzie on here.

All the recent talk of The Hobbit reminded me of this topic and how I never looked out those photographs. Here they are, at long last:


Edoras! Many other scenes from The Lord of the Rings were filmed in this valley. There was a huge gorge in the mountains - it acted as Helm's Deep. Nearby they also filmed the scenes where the Wargs ambush the Edoras evacuees.


The view from Edoras.


Sword fighting - because that's what happen when you give people swords. XD (for the record, I'm the girlie on the right)


I think this marked where Théoden's throne was in Meduseld. I'm not entirely sure though - it's been a while!


Flying the flag of Rohan!


My friend and I took the Stray bus around South Island, we made this stop shortly before Milford Sound - this is where they filmed the battle of the Pelennor Fields. How beautiful is New Zealand??
