4. How and when did you find CoE?
I found CoE searching for lessons in Elvish, which sadly I never had the time for. It was quite a few years ago, but I think it was summertime, after the first movie came out.

5. What is best about, and your favourite place on CoE?
I like the forums, and chat (when I have the time to drop by). Both I’ve seen have slowed down a lot in the past few years, but I enjoy the people I do talk with. I’ve made some really great friends over the years here.

6. How did you become a Collectibles Mod?
I took over when the previous one stepped down as Collectibles. I started out as the Game Room mod, then palantir and added collectibles.

7. What items do you have in your LotR collection?
Other then the books, I don’t really have anything. I do have a few costumes I’ve made myself. I have a few board games as well, but until I graduate from college (soon!), I can’t really buy anything, hehe.

8. When did you join Oromë?
A long time ago. I was the original head, which meant that before we released I had to get everything set up and ready. So…a month or so before we released realms? I honestly can’t remember.

9. When you hear the word “Oromë”, what comes to your mind first?
Oreo? But, that could be because I’m hungry right now. 😉 Orome also brings nature scenes to mind.

10. Generally, what are your favourite places to go outdoors?
I love the mountains. I live pretty close to the mountains now, and I try to go camping, hiking and skiing whenever I can.

11. What are your favourite outdoors activities?
Camping, hiking and skiing. We’ve got some very nice hiking trails around here. I ski when I get the time, but ski season is also school time, so it’s a bit difficult. I normally try to go for a multi-day camping/hiking trip a couples times a year, it’s fun!

12. Do you have any pets? Do you like horses or hounds?
I do. I have a cat, her name is chester (she’s even in the pet gallery!). I used to like horses, but now I like them from a safe distance, I’m too jumpy on them to ride them anymore. The story behind that reasoning involves a summer at girl scout camp (again, a long time ago), a new and crabby horse, bucking and a joking suggestion from the camp counselor that I’d be good at the rodeo. It’s not nearly as interesting a story as it sounds. 🙂

And if by hounds you mean dogs, I like them too. My parents have a dog who likes to follow me around whenever I visit.

13. Do you play any musical instrument?
Yes, I play the flute and piano. I’ve played the piano since 1st or 2nd grade, and the flute since 5th. I’ve also done some percussion work, but not as much as with the flute and piano.

14. Who are your favourite authors and favourite books, apart from Tolkien and his works?
I’ve always loved the book The Ancient One, by T.A. Barron. I’ve loved that book since 3rd grade or so, when I first read it. My copy is pretty old now, and falling apart, I guess it’s time to get a new one!!

Other books I rather like are the Harry Potter books and original science fiction. I don’t have much time to read for pleasure these days, but I get some good time in when I can. 🙂

15. Is there something you would like to say to your fellow members of CoE?
We all rock, keep up the good work!
