Thirty-nine is too young for an elf to lose his hair, so I've recently come to the conclusion I am not actually an elf.
My, how time flies! Since I'm now 41, it means I must have written that original statement for this council page a couple of years ago. How time flies... Those who in the past couple of years have visited my own site, will know that the hair has pretty much all gone now, but I'll keep the picture on the left there, as it's pretty much the inner me that I see when there are no mirrors around.
So what can I say about myself? I was born in a small English backwater similar to the Shire, back in 1963. Like Bilbo visiting Rivendell, however, my life didn't really begin until my late teens when I started university. It was there that I first discovered Tolkien and his wondrous world, a world that has had such a major influence on my life ever since. It was there that I also discovered role playing games, such as AD&D, and later Rolemaster, and between these and Tolkien's books, I was pretty much living in Middle Earth until the late nineties. - Continued...Allyssa

Hello! I am MelliotSandybanks and I am a 35-year-old wife and mom. My family
and I currently live in Texas, near Dallas. I do not have a paying job, but
I do a lot of work at home. I homeschool our 8 year old son, who is in the 3rd
grade. I also tend to do a lot of different crafty projects. I love all animals
and most seem to like me as well,thus we have a huge menagerie of pets. I love
learning new languages and am very interested in history and mythology. That
may be the reason I have enjoyed reading Tolkien’s works so much.
My family says that I am obsessed with the world of J.R.R. Tolkien. I have read:
The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Book
of Lost Tales I, Book of Lost Tales II, Sir Gwain and the Green Knight , Smith
of Wooten Major , Farmer Giles of Ham and Leaf by Niggle. I started out wanting
to know more and more about the geography and then I went on to the genealogy
of Middle Earth. I now have maps on about four different walls in various rooms
throughout my house, and I am in the process of working out the genealogies
on my computer.
I am not sure what else anyone would be interested in knowing about me. So,
I guess I will stop.

I am Amarië, or just Ama. Friends call me “you”.
I am, while writing this, two months from turning 23. I live on the Westcoast of Norway among fjords and tall mountains, here I reside together with my boyfriend and Blackie, a very, very strange cat. I am studying to become an constructional engineer, and I plan to building my own hobbit house some day.
Looking back I see that I have been sniffing around Tolkiens world since I was 10 years old, but never found my way in. Peter Jacksons Fellowship of the Ring was what (finally) opened the door to Tolkiens wonderful world of books. I found Planet-Tolkien not long after, and I have been hanging around here ever since
