Arwen, whose part was beefed up in the movie because even Peter Jackson realized she was a drip.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

I saw a car with the plate DRNHLM yesterday. That's got to be Dernhelm, right?
Eh, Eowyn didn't need Aragon. She didn't have to have her victory defined in terms of who she married. She wasn't terribly sane going into the Battle of Pelennor Fields, and then having carried a death wish that long and finding, when it came down to it, that she'd rather smite evil than die, left her bewildered while victorious. Faramir (always cooler than Aragorn in so many ways) was an anchor and a healing influence for her, which Aragorn would not have been. Aragorn was actually part of her deathwish - an infatuation, but not healthy love.
She chose to be Faramir's partner and live, and was able to make that choice because she chose to stand up to the Witch-King on the battlefield.
...
um, right. Going back to my radio silence now.

I'm just totally amazed at your recall! All I remember is "my precious" and the idiotic decisions that Frodo kept making.

Snerk, Arwen's name is nothing, I'm still trying to remember all the Dwarvish poetry I tried to memorize. "In Moria, in Kazad-Dun."
And let's not get into "One ring to rule them all."

Or the fact that whenever I see a picture of a LIVESTRONG bracelet, my first thought is that it's the One Ring.

Your words are foul corrupters, sir, and they've diverted my perfectly cooperative words into pathways of indolence and nonproductivity. You, sir, have hooligan words.
Well, duh.

Always Anti-fascist!
I read Frodo as Fredo and then I was like "Gaming license Fredo? Or the guy that's gonna make Leahy's head explode?" But that probably won't happen to everyone.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'd never heard (or maybe it never sunk in) "drabble" before coming here. The other day I was reading the local paper of my folks' retirement community (tres amusant) and saw that they have a "drabble club." One of the rules is that drabbles must be exactly 100 words. Do youse guys know where these things and their rules originated?

Okay, time to step away from the essays when they start looking like "work" as in "drudgery".
Time to turn instead to my over-wrought alternate history timeline.

Through the magic of Drollerie Press, my entrance into the world of real publishing, albeit e-pub for now. Yep, I've gone legit.
I'm a little dazed.
