Haha... No. Let's try that again... <br><br> Gabrielle has a wicked sense of humour and far too much pride for her own good. She loves to write, and has spent a good portion of her life buried in books. She loves old English literature, anything Tolkien, and well-written humour. <br><br> She loves blogging, fanfiction, and spends a good portion of her day on her computer. Pretty active, she enjoys climbing, swimming, running, and sitting up trees, yet does not enjoy most ball sports. <br><br> At sixteen, she is still far more immature than she should be and enjoys the fact far too much, yet she can be serious at times and ponders deeply on many issues. She takes her faith very seriously, and strives to make becoming like her Lord her greatest wish. <br><br> She enjoys talking about herself in the third person. <br><br> <h2>Siblings</h2> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/527175">Benjamin</a><br> <br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/527174">Heather</a><br> <br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/527177">Ione</a><br> <br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/527178">Jerusha</a><br> <br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/527179">Keren</a><br> <br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/527180">Liviya</a><br> <h2>Dol Amroth</h2> Dol Amroth was a coastal city in South Gondor. Built on a hilltop overlooking the Bay of Belfalas and crowned by Tirith Aear - the seaward tower - it was the Jewel of the Southern coasts. The Princes of Dol Amroth were prominent in Gondor and ruled much of the land about Belfalas. <br><br> <center> <IMG src="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/uploads/a/Altariel/63555.bmp"><br><br> </center> Dol Amroth was the home of both sailors and mounted knights, yet they were also renowned for their harpists. The people of Dol Amroth were of Numenorian decent, and also accounted to have had elvish blood - passed down from Mithrellas, one of Nimrodel of Lothlorien's handmaidens. They were tall, dark haired and grey eyed, and spoke, for the most part, Sindarin. <br><br> <center> <IMG src="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/uploads/a/Altariel/63556.jpg"><br><br> </center> Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth fought in the battle of the Pelennor Fields with many of his knights, and won renown for his deeds there, which included saving the life of his nephew, Faramir. Imrahil's sister, Finduilas, was the wife of Denethor, Steward of Gondor, and the mother of Boromir and Faramir. Imrahil's daughter, Lothiriel, later married King Eomer of Rohan. <br> <h2>Quotes</h2> <script src="http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/widget/1163731" type="text/javascript"></script> <br> <h2>My American blog</h2> Here, by special request, is the blog I wrote of our trip around America last year. <br><br> These posts are friends only - if you aren't on my friends list, drop me a line! <br><br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/536168/">Settling in in Hollywood</a><br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/536169/">Strawberries</a><br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/536170/">Universal Studios</a><br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/536171/">A midnight trip to the beach</a><br> » <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/altariel/536172/">Computers, quarters, and grumpy daughters...</a><br> <br> (These are just the first posts, by the way; I will add more when I find time!) <br><br> <h2>My Fanfiction</h2> <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3758077/1/Palant_r">Palantír - Chapter one</a><br> <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3758077/2/Palant_r">Palantír - Chapter two</a><br> <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3758077/3/Palant_r">Palantír - Chapter three</a><br> <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3758077/4/Palant_r">Palantír - Chapter four</a><br> <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3758077/5/Palant_r">Palantír - Chapter five</a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4141481/1/Tears">Tears - A oneshot</a><br> <h2>I'm a member of</h2> <center> <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/TheSAYR"><IMG src="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ uploads/t/TheSAYR/37090.jpg"> <br> <a href="http://aponderingheart.com/blog/?p=425" target="_blank"><img src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn63/sillydreamer91/graphics/globe.png" border="0" alt="Prayer Challenge"></a> </center> <br> <h2>Friends</h2> » <a href='/Jocelyndixon/'>Jocelyndixon</a><br>» <a href='/Ringbearer/'>Ringbearer</a><br>» <a href='/LOTRLounge/'>LOTRLounge</a><br>» <a href='/totustuus/'>totustuus</a><br>» <a href='/AuthorElf/'>AuthorElf</a><br>» <a href='/PoorBoyHat/'>PoorBoyHat</a><br>» <a href='/alizona/'>alizona</a><br>» <a href='/BookLover/'>BookLover</a><br>» <a href='/KiwiSmithFamily/'>KiwiSmithFamily</a><br>» <a href='/musicallyspeaking/'>musicallyspeaking</a><br>» <a href='/writer4him/'>writer4him</a><br>» <a href='/TruthSeeker/'>TruthSeeker</a><br>» <a href='/intheeasternsky/'>ElvishMaiden14</a><br>» <a href='/TheSAYR/'>TheSAYR</a><br>» <a href='/elvensprinters2/'>NimrodelTinuviel</a><br>» <a href='/EniTheArtist/'>enilarwyn</a><br>» <a href='/zeblogofdoom/'>MisterCool</a><br>» <a href='/Thisisatopsecerttest/'>MaidenCapitolaBallot</a><br>» <a href='/queenflora/'>QueenFlora</a><br>» <a href='/thedoghouse/'>luvdogs07</a><br>» <a href='/wc222/'>wildchild222</a><br>» <a href='/equus/'>wallyaqh</a><br>» <a href='/niennadesigns/'>niennadesigns</a><br>» <a href='/Syelmanaye/'>DonnaElisabeth</a><br>» <a href='/poeticvoice/'>PoeticMaiden</a><br>» <a href='/TDA/'>fiddler4him</a><br>» <a href='/singmetoheaven/'>GraceElizabeth</a><br>» <a href='/scaryman/'>Scaryman</a><br>» <a href='//'></a><br>» <a href='/fountainpen/'>StoryMaiden</a><br>» <a href='/andrynnor/'>elvenwriter</a><br>» <a href='/eveleen/'>VintageAuthoress</a><br>» <a href='/tinuviel/'>Tinuviel</a><br>» <a href='/Tallyn/'>Ness</a><br>» <a href='/forgottenheros/'>Turumbar</a><br>» <a href='/strider4him/'>Strider4him</a><br>» <a href='/cherrytree/'>chezdak</a><br>» <a href='/onestarlessnight/'>Mariella1214</a><br>» <a href='/islanderhideaway/'>Pip</a><br>» <a href='/nanowrimogroup/'>NaNoWriMoGroup</a><br>» <a href='/newzealand/'>newzealand</a><br>» <a href='/therightreply/'>Paladin</a><br>» <a href='/OutlawedPrincess/'>OutlawedPrincess</a><br> <br> <h2>Visitors</h2> <center> <a href="http://www4.clustrmaps.com/counter/maps.php?url=http://www.homesc hoolblogger.com/altariel" id="clustrMapsLink"><img src="http://www4.clustrmaps.com/counter/index2.php?url=http://www.homes choolblogger.com/altariel" style="border:0px;" alt="Locations of visitors to this page" title="Locations of visitors to this page" id="clustrMapsImg" onError="this.onError=null; this.src='http://www2.clustrmaps.com/images/clustrmaps-back-soon.jpg'; document.getElementById('clustrMapsLink').href='http://www2.clustrmaps. com'" /> </a> </center> <br> <h2>Credits</h2> <center> Template copyrighted © <a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/niennadesigns">Nienna Designs</a> 2008 <br> </center><br><br> </td> <td width="750" valign="top">    <a name='e513822'></a> <h1>Apr. 11, 2008 - Another News Flash!</h1> <table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'> <tr><td><p>Warning!

LOL :) <br /> <br />RYC: <br />Yes, exactly right, I don't like to read. Just write. The onyl books I really like reading is LOTR (Tolkien books), P&P, and the Bible... maybe a few others, but that's it. I am dragging myself through the driver's manual (I know, not really a book), and I tried reading Emma and the Kingdom Series but couldn't complete them. I will try again I suppose, but it's just not something I dearly enjoy. lol <br /> <br />Yes, I have never liked reading. I only used to read short little kiddy books until I was 11 and read LOTR. Amanda has always been the bookworm, and now Rachel and Eric are. <br /> <br />No, Jocelyn doesn't mean ‘Maiden crowned with a radiant garland’. LOL But I'd like to THINK so! haha <br /> <br />I don't think I could imagine Feanor's anger if he knew about Galadriel giving Gimli her hair. Man, oh, man. <br /> <br />I am glad you stopped by!
