1. Comment on this post with I VOLUNTEER!
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your IJ/LJ/DW.

rhoda_rants gave me the letter G, so here we go!

First off, HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSED TO PICK JUST FIVE CHARACTERS?! Arg. This is going to be tough.

1. GANDALF.



Also known as Mithrandir or Olorin. (I love saying Mithrandir aloud.) On the one hand, he's sensible and straightforward; on the other, he's elusive and mysterious. Oh, and also extremely powerful. Not every wizard can battle with a Balrog of Morgoth and live to remember it--much less come back as an ever more powerful Maia than before. Not everybody could refuse to take The One Ring when it was offered, either. I think what I like best about Gandalf is, for all his high knowledge and all his renown among Elves, Men, and wizards, he can still be completely at ease discussing the true meaning behind good morning with a Hobbit.

The latter part of February marks the Lord of the Rings fanniversary for my family. It's been four years since my life was significantly changed. (Honestly, the biggest influences in my life are the Bible, Laura Ingalls Wilder, J. R. R. Tolkien, Jane Austen, and J-rock.)

In celebration, I'm posting a video of one of my bazillion and one favorite LotR moments, and then dashing off to watch the extended edition of Fellowship of the Ring with my mum. (Even though I'm not British, I like calling her mum. XD)



Have I mentioned that I love the friendship of Legolas and Gimli to distraction, and this scene never fails to make me grin like an idiot? Or that, if I got the chance to go to Middle-earth, I'd probably follow them everywhere, and insist on going with them when they built and sailed the last ship to leave Middle-earth? Well, now you all know. :D
