LOTR Blog Parth Day Three - Favorite Dwelling of Middle Earth

 
Day Three!!!! You get to choose a favourite dwelling of Middle Earth and explain why you love it or why you think you would be there.


The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began

This is the easiest question of the whole party. My favourite dwelling place is The Shire. Why? I can tell you in three short sentences. .

It is simple.

It is beautiful.

It has Hobbit Holes.

I just love the Shire. I love the people. I love the peace. I love how green and warm everything is. I love that is always smells like summer and I love that it has little rivers and streams to jump in and I love that it is weighted with years of history and is so pure even the darkest shadow can't touch it until the very last moment. Also, where Hobbits get to live is brilliant. Hobbits holes are the best. They're cute and clean and warm and there are no stairs you have to climb. It is always full of food and comfort and it has a lovely round door that you can go in through and drop your cloak on a hanger. I would want to live in one. It would be so pleasant.


Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell,
nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat

I think with my personality (as much as I love Rohan)  I would end up being a hobbit. I love food and I can eat almost as much as a normal hobbit on a good day. I love sitting in the quiet doing absolutely nothing. I love visiting with friends but still having my own space. I love peace but I also have a deep sense of adventure hidden away down in my heart. I love to feel relaxed and unstressed and there is no place better for that than the Shire

Because I am a hobbit from a well-known well-respected family I would have a lovely little hobbit hole in which my large, noisy family would often visit and spend all of their time baking, cooking and making music. It would be all warm and round and welcoming and I'd always have chocolate in the pantry and biscuits in the cupboard and tea in the spices box. We would stay up late into the nigh exchanging all sorts of tales (for many of my family would be the Tookish type) and we'd sing songs, even write them. We'd be a queer bunch to be sure. The Sackville-Bagginses would not be pleased of course, but their opinion doesn't matter anyway.  Most of Hobbiton would think we were odd - a bit too Tookish altogether to be honest - but they would keep their thoughts to themselves because our food and our courtesies would be so fine and so polite that all the Hobbits would want to be in good standing with us (except the Sackville Bagginses)

I would be the Hobbit no one would quite expect, nor no what to make of. The type of Hobbit who loves to read as much as the next person but doesn't much like sitting still and who acts respectable for her family, but is just the sort who would run off on an adventure at the drop of a hat. Most others hobbits would whisper about me behind their backs, talk about my queer family and how reckless I was - darn near unnatural for a Hobbit! Everyone would wonder about me but not many would really dislike me, and all would know how much I loved tea and reading and especially writing. "Ink all over the hands, papers stuck to tables and chairs. What a Hobbit. What a Hobbit...."

I have fantasies about my life in the Shire. Don't judge me.

I'm am fire. I am deeeeeeeeath!


That is my statement! Until tomorrow losers!

now you mean that you want to get rid of me, and that it won't be good till I move off.


TO DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND THE WORLDS ENDING!

A tag to let you all know I'm not dead

Because I am not dead, not at all. I actually have a good excuse for disappearing from the blogging world. My very special friend is up visiting!!! I'm planning on doing a giant post about all the fun we have been having these past few days, but for now I'm just going to do a tag to tide you over.


Rose tagged me with the Liebster Tag! Thank you Rose!!

RULES

Acknowledge the blog that nominated you. (See above)
Answer the 11 questions the nominated blogger created
List 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers who deserve some recognition (Ha. Ha)
Post 11 questions for them to answer
Notify them that they have been nominated.


The Questions

1) An anonymous someone drops a note on your front porch saying that they will fund a trip to either England, an African Safari, Prince Edward Island, or Italy.  Which do you choose?  Why?

I don't tend to trust strangers, BUT if I did choose it would be Prince Edward Island. Or Italy.

2) You're being forced to re-do your room.  What color do you paint it?

Purple. Not dark, dark purple but kind of a soft purple that looks happy and fairy-ish.

3) Do you have a particular song that you listen to often, but it never seems to get old?  If so, what is it?

Hm. It will have to be a toss-up between Demons and Its Time to Begin. I listen to both those songs all together too often. I'm kind of obsessed with Imagine Dragons on the whole. They are very addicting.
 
THIS IS MY KINGDOM COME!
THIS IS MY KINGDOM COME!!!

4) Would you rather be lounging in the sun on the beach reading a good book or adventuring in the waves?

I've never been sailing and the thought of it freaks me out a little, so I'll go with a good book. About a Thief. Who can steal anything. Even a queen.

You suddenly end up with two twin kittens.  One is a girl; one is a boy.  What do you name them?

Amy and Rory

You're organizing a get together with friends.  Would you choose a picnic or a movie night?

Movie Night! With popcorn, lots of popcorn. And juice!!!!!

What is your pet peeve?

having my bedroom door left open. If I am in a room, the door MUST BE CLOSED. I will wake up 3:00 in the morning, realize the door has been cracked open and get up to close it. There are few things that can make me more frustrated or twitchy then the door being left open. Especially when a certain sister ignores your urgent calls to "Shut the door on your way out!!!" and leaves the room with the door WIDE OPEN. That makes me soooooo angry.

Is there a new hobby you've been wanting to try out?

Not really. I'm not super big on hobbies. I'm trying to write a book and become an actress. That's enough for me right now.

If you could pick one instrument that you would (without any effort on your part) instantly master, which would you choose?

Guitar. I really, really want to learn guitar. If I could play guitar I would lay out on the grass in cowboy boots and a hat and strum away, feeling all western and awesome.

Would you like to be snowed inside for a week?

No, not particularly. I get stir-crazy if I have to stay in for too long. I would like some snow though. We've only had two storms all winter and only one was worth talking about. Its kind of sad.

Pick the closest book to you that you've read.  What is your favorite character in the book?

*Leans over and scans the room* The Hobbit. I see The Hobbit. My favorite character in that book will have to be Bilbo.

I will try to nominate a few people, but I don't know whose already been nominated. So.... I'll just do Five. And if you all have already been tagged, you do NOT have to do this tag, Okay? I know how hard it is to have bunches of tags dumped on you.
 
 
 
 
 
My questions.

Would you consider yourself a geek or a nerd?

Do you know when National Pie Day is?

What is the first thing you think when you see salt?

Do you spend most of your time inside or outside?

Range Rover or Land Rover?

Did you know they are making a sequel to The Incredibles?

Do you like Raisin cookies?

Do you own more than ten CD's?

What does it mean to have cat-like tread?

Have you read The Hunger Games?

Do you ever wear a robe?

That's all you nutters. I'm tired and I want to go to bed. I'll be back after my AMAZING visit is over to rave about all the FUN we had without you losers! Mwahahahahaha!

 
God Bless!
