These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men, and elves.
Edit:: George R.R. Martin and Parris were married this past Tuesday! It was completely unconventional, as per true Martin form. He even listed animal charities on his blog for fans to send donations to as a wedding present. After all, this is the man who named a brother of the Night's Watch after his oldest cat! ^.^ Personally, I worship the man.
Opening up my happy meal to find a pony inside made me crazy happy. Had it been a flutter pony, I would have really lost it. I also have to remember to post in the doll forums a question regarding which screws I need for Hotaru's back-plate. Not to worry! She's fine, but has been without these screws since she first arrived. Still, it's absolutely necessary that I order new ones for her.
I spent much of last night looking at the pictures I had taken in the Catskill Mountains this past summer. I am grateful that I have something to look forward to during the winter months, but it is very difficult to wait; especially while working and going to class in Manhattan. I can now drive the entire three-hour distance, although I will still only do so with a friend, which makes it particularly difficult to resist sneaking off :) I'm not only talking about my uncle's house, but also of camping in every site those mountains have to offer. No matter how frozen my toes invariably become or how badly my hips ache, I am always glad that I went. There is very little that can compare to the scent of the earth around you, and on you, with a sky full of shooting stars.
After having given it some serious thought over the last few months, I have decided to try my hand at archery in either Roscoe, Downsville, or Margaretville. I will have to rent a bow more suited to me, as there is no way that I'm strong enough to handle the pull-resistance of Phil's. It would not be for hunting purposes, of course, as I would never intentionally hurt an innocent being.
However, since the Elves have broken their alliance with the Children of Men, one must learn the secrets of their ancient skill. We need to be prepared for when the Orcs resurface to eat our children and be merry with our women!
::stops sharpening battle-axe, blinks::
Oh, I'm not like other women. I'm a Michelle. To the fortress!
/:saunters off singing: "On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light. In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight!
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right.
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight."
