So you got to see all the actors and Peter Jackson and everyone? I've said it before, but I am so jealous! I'm completely obsessed with the LOTR movies (I've read the books, but they're not quite as good).

um...Aragorn definitely. I had his speech from the black gates memorized last year, and I'd go around saying it all the time. I don't know who my second favorite would be, though. I can't choose between any of the other characters, they all rule!

I was really excited the moring before LOTR came out here. I made my mom go buy me a ticket the second the box office opened.

What's your favorite LOTR quote? Mine's Sam's speech at the stone window in TTT.

Umm...I really liked the bit where Gimli couldn't see at Helms Deep and Legolas asked if he woul like a box...I thought It was awesome...

But I really liked Aragorn's speech at the gates...

OMG!!! that's a tough question, had to think for a bit...

Movies were good, but I prefer the books. They have more substance, you actually get to find out what happens to Saruman and Grima, and it just goes into so much more stuff with so much more detail. It's so much more of a bigger world. Read The Silmarillion & The Hobbit as well?

The Silmarillion. Basically it's a tale of the first age of the world. It encorporates the creation story and the coming of the children of Illúvatar, elves and men. Also shows the war between Feanor and his sons against Morgoth the first Dark Lord. (Sauron was his servant.)
What're you going to Aussie for??? (Yes I know I already know but for the sake of the topic do tell again lol)

hello!! sorry, i havnt posted for a month. reality has been making an unwelcome intrusion into my life, and it has been rather boring.

thats weird, becos here in the netherlands, where its usually maximum 15 on a hot day, it was 30 a couple of days ago. which was actually kinda bad, because it was so long since id been warm that i almost got heatstroke!
