My goodness! Well... Professor Tolkien's now officially 121 years and a month old!

Speaking of Tolkien and his legacy... I just saw a YouTube video of Cal High's dance team doing a Lord of the Rings ballet! I'm sorry to say that the quality SUCKS, but... it's worth watching anyway! I'd shove my gluteus maximus into a tutu in a heartbeat if it meant dancing with the beautiful Frodo! :D

Here's the link. If that doesn't work, then going onto YouTube and typing "Lord of the Rings Ballet" should suffice.

Hi, Diem Kieu. I am out of town and have been for a few weeks. With my mobile broadband set-up for traveling I can't load this video. I'll have to wait till I get back to see "the beautiful Frodo" of Cal High. :)

Well, you can't really see the face of whoever plays Frodo, but if you fantasize as I did about having the actual Film-Frodo on that stage... well, any fellow haremite should get the picture! ;)

You were a Haremite, on the Khazad-dum fan website? What was your name there?

Re: Greetings, Metchild! diem_kieu94 February 7 2013, 17:38:50 UTC

Sadly, I was far too young to appreciate the Lord of the Rings when Khazad-dum was around. I meant the term "haremite" as in anyone who's as madly in love with Frodo as we are! I'm so sorry if I misled you.

Ha ha ha! Not to worry. You would have loved it there, had you been older. The name of the thread on the message board (which was devoted to LOTR and Tolkien) was "Frodo's Harem". It was the fan thread for everyone besotted with Frodo. They called themselves "Haremites" and wrote loads of fanfic on the side using the AU of Frodo in the Undying Lands loved and cared for (in every way) by hobbit lasses who came over the Sea precisely to give Frodo everything he'd missed while in Middle-earth. It was such fun. I think I never laughed so hard or had such interesting, sometimes pithy conversations about the character of Frodo as I did on that website thread.

Yep! That sounds just like me! Hee hee! :)
