Hi everyone!

So sorry it took me so long to post this.

Anyway, I'm Alatariel. I think I was probably one of the first mods so I'm old. Like ancient.

There's not to much interesting about me...ummm....I love LotR (Obviously!) and ummmm....I love my moderator job and I love Arwen and all the mods and I love all the members. I'm obsessed with giving people huggles (on the internet and off). Sometimes I smile way to much and people think I have something wrong with me. And umm....I'm an elf and I live in Ithilien.

I hope to get to know each and everyone of you!

Huggles!!! *huggles everyone*

Love,
Alatariel
