I've been Phyrie on the Internet since the early '90's. Way back then, I used to chat a LOT in chat rooms, even owned my own room for a while. My personality has always been a little "fiery", and I was going through a red hair period, so Phyrie was easy. But she needed a last name, as a lot of websites require you to sign up with a "real" name, first and last. I was re-reading The Lord of the Rings at the time, and was in the passage where Frodo, Sam and Gollum were in the marshes of Mordor. You know the one, where the werelights hypnotize Frodo and he almost drowns in the marsh. So it wasn't much of a stretch to go from marsh lights, fiery light, fiery marsh, Phyrie Marsh. So, that's me: Phyrie Marsh.
I looked at that thread, Kris. It hasn't been bumped since August 23, 09. So if Tracy is right about the six month thing, it will be gone tomorrow. I sure wish we had known that about Charlie's Still Biting thread.
