i would be an elf and live in mirkwood before it was corrupted he he

Well don't turn it into one

I am such a hobbit! But I think I'm a Tookish hobbit. I'm a bit precoscious, and I love to travel, I find myself in adventures from time to time. I would be an intellectual hobbit.

I would live in a very nice cozy hole with plenty of windows and lots of couches and snuggly places for fireside napping and chatting and the place would be full of books and music and pretty, yet useful, things. I would have lots of hooks in my hallway for people to drop by. And my kitchen would be very suitable for both cooking and eating. I would have hammocks outside for more lounging and lots of shade trees.

I would hang with the elves and try to study under them to learn about healing arts, and I would have a garden full of aromatherapy plants and herbal rememdies. If I had a job, i would probably be the local soapmaker or candlemaker. I do this stuff anyway.

But if I really had my way, I wouldn't have a job. I would just be a rich Tookish hobbit. By day I would volunteer in my community, such as working for the museum or library, or helping with the community garden for the less fortunate hobbits or telling stories to the sick hobbit children in the hob-pital (I JUST MADE THAT UP!)!!. I would also go on short adventures, like floating down the river, during the day, but at night, I would come home and be predictable and hobbit-y. I would pile into a big feather bed with big pillows and billowing down blankets and fall asleep watching the stars outside my perfectly round window.

I should have known that musicimprovedme will write the "shortest" post in here...
Anyway the post is very good.
Keep it up !

I'd either be a Hobbit living in the Great Smials of Tuckborough; a Man in Ithilien, or one of the Rohirrim in Edoras. (Or a Hobbit in a little hut by Amon Hen; though I can't see that happening )

I'd be a Nandor, being that I can be a bit of a hippy. Although I have a feeling most of you think I'd be an Orc.

Not me! I got you down as being more Troll-like, unless you are really an-in-the-closet Ewok.

Or grumpy old Beorn. No one would consider him as cuddly would they?

I can definately picture you living like that MIM. Can I come join you?
I think I would like to be one of two things: an Elf living in Mirkwood, one of Thranduil's people, just wandering about under the trees singing. Or I would like to live in the Grey Havens and build ships and be always near the Sea.
But realistically, I don't think I could be either of those things because I'm not nearly as good as Elves are or as wise. So I think that I would find myself being an intellectual hobbt.
Or a troll like Ross...

Does such a thing exist?

Try this one on for size: I would love to be an Ent. Being in touch with the fabrice of nature appeals to me.

Realisticlly I would be closer to a Barliman Butterbur never knowing which way I was going or thinking.

Wee bee ejukated. Yu obviusli nott.

See Ringfacwen's post of 2/8/2003 at 22:03.

We were being hobbits in Middle-earth and showing off our intellectual prowess(?) via the spelling of English language words’sound them out phonetically if you were really lost.

Yeh ha. I'za gonna' fire t' boom stick in t' air!

i would love to be a great warrior! it would be so cool just to roam around middle earth on quests and stuff! i wish this were a fantasy world!

Even so Grondy life is to short so why not live a few years as a adventurer/warrior than a lifetime as a average joe.
Given the chance and hopefully that'll be soon I'll be partakin of a adventure meself.
But my life in middle earth would be that of a wandering fighter as such just going wherever the wind takes me helping though who he need it and kickin' some butt as well.

Do you think it would be possible to have an Uruk from Angrenost who deserted Saruman and ran off to fight with the forces of good? I mean, Tolkien did stress the idea that nothing is evil in the beginning...

Though, ugh, I probably wouldn't want to be an Orc. Never mind. I'd probably be just another Hobbit and Elf-friend.

Doh.... Not another Legolas lover

When will you girls finally understand Legolas is not at all like that. He'd rather be running around the woods with his mates slaying Orcs (no different to any other bloke then, when it comes to having a bellyfull of beer and a fight)

I'll help!

Orlando is wearing a wig, and lots o' makeup, I think he's got a wart on his nose that PJ had to airbrush out if the movie...

What if in the movie he was played by some 40-year-old balding guy or sumthin like that? I bet then you'll wouldn't be so keen for Lego.

I'd probaly be an elf in Rivendell too. But I'd probaly get kicked out for stealing all of Elrond's underpants. Don't ask why...just... don't.
Then again, the chance to be an Uruk-Hai or a Balrog would be nice...I could go on rampages all over middle earth. And if anyone yelled "You shall not pass!" at me then I'd blown my nose on them. And Balrog's do have rather large nasel caverties.

I'd like to be Gandalf's daughter.

Now that is a fine wish! I think Gandalf would be the perfect father; wise, kind and a little short temperd but with a big big heart. And dealing with hobbits for so long would prepare him for the hundred thousand questions kids have. *lol*

I don't think Legolas would be to happy beeing mistaken for Orlando and have a tail of teenage girls following him around all day, but (pretending that he excist) he went to Valinor a loooooooooooong time ago, and is probably happily married and have a nice bunch of kids.

I have to admit there was quite a lot of drooling the first time I saw FOTR and Legolas (oh baby), and some drooling has occured later on too, but I am a lot more facinated by Elronds twin sons. (mmmmmmm) Of course they are in Valinor too and probably married with loads of kids, but a little daydreaming never hurt anyone Thank Eru PJ left them out of the movies, he'd make them all wrong.

Well doesn't Legolamb have the same problem? I think a reason he left the Woodland realm and become a member of the fellowship was escaping the hordes of elvish women searching his underwear. The fact that elves are immortal has a nasty consequence : stalkers are immortal too.


Even you?

Well i am not so surprised.

I'm starting to realize why Legolamb was single : so much women (of all races, including dragons and uruk-hai) wanted to marry him, so that the poor lad couldn't make up his mind. Or maybe he realized that mothers-in-law are immortal too.

To return to the topic : i want to be Sauron's optician. I've always wanted to know whether Sauron was myopic or presbyopic. I'd advise him to use the Hubble telescope instead of an eye : maybe then he'd noticed two hobbitses entering his territory.

Awww Man! Uruk-Hai Women!? They have to be NASTY UGLY!

----Or maybe all Sauron needs is some Visine and a Nomical.

As for myself, I would definitely be an elf. I would write many of the songs and poems that people around middle earth would sing and recite. I would be a friendly and welcomed diplomat amungst many lands, and would, therefore, travel a lot. However, not by myself and not really for any "real" purpose, just to get to know the lands---prehaps, then i would be sought after as a source of wisdom to accompany people on their journies and quests. Maybe, I guess then, I would be a middle earth Cartagropher. And maybe, I could get some bored and adventurous Hobbits to come with me.
