All hail to Adam Vana! :P :)

'Shouldn't we send him a message and call in his help?' Erestor asked. 'It seems that he even has control of the Ring.'
'No, I shouldn't say it that way,' Gandalf said. 'Rather say the Ring hasn't got control of him. He's his own master. But he can't change the ring, nor break the power it has on others.'


No, my name isn't wrong, it's just a combination of Mithrandir and Mithril: look and see: MITHRandI(L/R)

:) Thanks guys! You give me far too much credit, however. :-/

That's number 19 for me. Another until my age starts to look a bit more serious... :P

Better late than never: congrats Adam and that you may grow to be as wise as Mithrandir, as strong as Beren and as happy as the average Hobbit (which is quite happy I'd say) :)!

"Christopher was always much concerned with the consistency of the story and on one occasion ... interrupted: 'Last time, you said Bilbo's front door was blue, and you said Thorin had a golden tassel on his hood, but you've just said that Bilbo's front door was green, and the tassel on Thorin's hood was silver'; at which point Ronald exclaimed 'Damn the boy!' and strode across the room to make a note."

Happy birthday, Adam!

19 is pretty much the best possible age. You're old enough to do everything you want (well, in Europe at least :)), yet young enough to be immature and silly when you feel like it.

I hope it's not wanting a birthday present, is it precioussss? Gollum! Gollum!

Happy Birthday Adam!!!
RL is the worst game I've ever played. The graphics may be mind blowing but it's way too difficult, you can't save your game at any point, the plot sucks and the AI is frankly the worst I've ever seen.

Birthday?

Happy Birthday! Well, we now have the same number of complete years (I'm 19 as well).

19 is a strange age, I would say. I don't know why. Yet, I entered university a few days before my 19th birthday. Quit a gift :P (Oh, and I'll remember all my parties : I do not drink :))

Hehe, one more year and you'll be in the tweens. That should give you more than a decade of beeing foolish until you come of age at 33. :)
