Lobelia Sackville-Baggins?
Shelob?
(this was x-posty, I was trying to think of a 4th)
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Farmer whatsisname's wife with the mushrooms? Goldberry?
Goldberry is Bombadil's wife; you're thinking of Mrs. Maggot, "a Queen amongst Hobbits" :) I don't think she's given a first name.
I keep meaning to memorize the Dwarven poem re: Moria, because the flow of the language is so gorgeous in that.
The poem I'm slowly memorizing is from the History of Middle-earth, volume 3 - "Lays of Beleriand". The Lay of Larethian - 3223 lines. I have 180 committed to memory; the rest just won't stick. The best parts, of course, describe Morgoth:
"Far in the north hills of stone In caverns black there was a Throne By flame encircled..."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

But do you remember birthdays?

I love Lobelia! I wonder if Sackville-Baggins was a reference to the Sackville-Wests.

Mmm...Shelob. I never think of her as a "female character", because she's a gigantic spider-demon. But you're right, she *is* hugely important.
Luthian isn't in Lord of the Rings. :)
However, you're ALSO very correct about Gilraen mother of Aragorn; though she doesn't appear in LotR, her behavior totally informs Aragorn's early life - and is so tragic.

The world is grey, the mountains old,
The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dum.
I shivered the first time I read that.

Except for very rare exceptions, no - that's what Google Calendar is for. (The exceptions are holidays - mine is April 1, my sister's is July 4, my mom's is Kitty Hawk Day - I got my maternal grandfather's birthday wrong by a week MY ENTIRE LIFE.)
My brain is full of *useless* trivia, nothing *useful*. :)

Yes, those were meant as two separate guesses. (Perils of punctuation standing in for tone of voice)

Oh! Sorry. :)
