Sauron obviously. all the other oldies don't get to do what they love most like treebeard no one cares about him, Tom Bombadil seems drugged up to the eyeballs for the most part, (must be some strong stuff to keep him goin for 3000 years) so hes in need of some sort of 9000 year stint in rehab. Sauron, if hes not in charge of some orcs then hes poisoning someones mind whilst hes in prison (prior to enslaving more orcs), so hes gotta be happiest of the lot, sure hes killed eventually but he has a good innings. Sauron is Lord of middle earth at least thats what this palantirs telling me

I'm only a man,
In a silly red sheet,
Looking for special things incide of me!

I would be a dragon (but a good one). They where powerful, wise and had style...
(Forgive me my english write, because I'm Portuguese. But i love Tolkien's World)

What part of manhood do Ents have and Elves don't?

Good point. Guys, does anyone know what Beorn is? He doesn't seem very Maiarish.

I'd be an elf. *everyone is shocked. Why did you choose dwarf?* Because NO ONE ELSE DID!!!! Everyone likes playing at being elves. So I had to be different. I like playing at a dwarf much better. It's way more fun. Well, actually I'm not sure. I'd like to be mortal. But being an elf would be SOOOO cool. Not because you'd never die, but because where they live and all the stuff they do and even the food they eat is SUCH LUXURY!!!! If you were a dwarf you'd be in luxury too. A differnet kind. SO really, I haven't quite decided, but if I had to decide on the spot I think I'd be like dwarf...elf....elf!! And maybe I'd regret it later.

I would really love to be a Balrog.. so dark... so powerful...thye perfecto combo of darkness and fire... cool..

Of course an Elf but my heart is really for the Fairies, but they are sort of related. (My hubby thinks I'm away with the fairies and I'm sure I worry my daughter sometimes

I even have 2 tattoos of fairies - my avitar is one from my shoulder.

(PLEASE, COUNCIL, CAN WE HAVE A FAIRY ON THE SMILEY INSERTS THIS IS THE CLOSEST)

Sorry for changing from LOTR to fairies

Stop showing off, Greven ! (:-P

So true. No wonder everyone knows about the Tooth Fairy, instead of the Fang Fairy !

I think they're really good smilies - can you add them to the list???

All the fairies in my garden are good - they're only bad to those who don't believe - have you ever misplaced your car keys for e.g . when you know you put them in a certain place. You go back and there they are - well that's fairies being mischievous. They wouldn't really hurt you.

I think I better change the subject or you will all think I'm mad

No - honestly I'm pretty sane as it happens

I'd like to be a hobbit, they're so cute and innocent and happy. Nothing seems to be able to shatter their glad little world and they don't care about the other peoples who are constantly getting themselves into trouble and starting wars. I think they've got a very nice life...
or an elf, maybe... their wisdom quite impresses me. (aren't they cool? )

And if I was evil I'd be a nazgul or a balrog.

Nah, you should just stick with the Rivendell half. They're weird over there in Lothlórien, sleeping in trees and stuff. If I tried that I'd fall off!

FYI, Maydmarion, Vir and Grev, faeries are a perfectly fine race, though not always noble and honorable. and you hsould never call a fairy nasty because whatever they do is just to make life a bit more exciting for you, and so you shouldn't blame them. Their intentions were always good. They just have less emotion.

And Meneldur, I must disagree with yo uo the point of Lorien Elves. They from the forest are mystical. Those from the valley are bookish (aka nerdy).
