If there aren't gay hobbits, I'm not coming. I mean - what's the point?

Oh, good gods. There are about 20 different directions I could take that statement - and none of them good. So I guess I'll settle for saying - I agree wholeheartedly.

Speaking of hobbits, did anyone else notice that Sam's wife was from down here in the South? Barefoot and pregnant.....

Sorry, but that was just so easy!

There's a special place in Hell for you, my friend.

Yes. They call it Kentucky.

Ooh, ooh, I will try to go to SASE! puffpastry December 29 2003, 19:11:21 UTC

I'll see if I can get Mr. trueenough to go with me!

I WAS, originally, hoping to see some hot, sweaty, same-sex Hobbity love in LOTR:ROTK -- I figured at LEAST Frodo and Sam would be Baggin' their Bilbos (see http://www.livejournal.com/users/tin_lizzy/1430.html for further discussion on this). But actually, I am MORE touched by the fact that the hobbits AREN'T gay but are just unabashedly, totally, highly sentimentally bonded to each other by platonic friendship - that is incredibly moving to me, as I wrote in my own blog. I wish real life was like that. I wish humans of both sexes were that willing to show their love and admiration for each other. OR I wish I was a hobbit, but...that option doesn't seem terribly likely either. (But I WOULD make a great hobbit...hobbitette...hobbette?...don't you think??)

Hobbitina? Hobbitta?

I guess I hadn't really looked at RotK that way. It is a nice goal for humans to aspire to, isn't it? Alas, given the current state of our world, I think you'll be a hobbit first. Which will be totally cool.

Do you know Brandon Lacy Campos? Or did you just end up reading the same night?

half_double December 30 2003, 19:43:11 UTC

I don't actually know Brandon, which is funny, because everyone else I know seems to.

HEY!

Marjorie and I are both interested in attending. A ride would be great, but i am sure we can find our way if it is necessary.

I also must speak to you of a matter of great importance. I will call you tomorrow with details=)

The Pagan Taxi Service is always at your disposal.

Also, your 'matter of great importance' sounds wonderfully secret-squirrel-missiony. I look forward to all the juicy details.

Re: yo readin' canth January 2 2004, 08:56:18 UTC

I was an idiot and kept forgetting to call you this weekend. Now that I've got a spare moment, i'll just let you in on my agenda.

Marjorie and I have been talkin' and we've decided that you should come with us in February. I assume you know of what I speak.

We've spoken to Jody (sp?) and she has told us that there are still spots available. I would be more than happy to help you get there. . .

I will call you tomorrow if i am not a dork and I remember to do so.

think about it.
