Erikaj, I'm glad there are people who HATE Tolkien and his stuff (much less people who are kinda "meh", like you).
Just means there's more for me to acquire.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

I like Tolkien, but just not on the acquiring stuff level. Much like Star Trek.
I just realized that in my book there is not an expedition with 9 people. It wasn't 9 originally, it was 11, but I removed two characters. Now it's just like LOTR only Frodo is a chick, Sam is a psychopath, and the ring is just a ring forged by some dude in the city.

Yep, more "Precious!" for y'all, SH. Still like that better than Twihards, though

Tolkein = ugh. Twihards are at least ridiculously.... well, idiotic.
Back from Santa Barbara today. I don't have very much summer break left. It's making me feel panicky.

I consider it a milestone in my emotional maturity that, upon seeing that phrase in print, I didn't start to indignantly sputter.
I do think that most Tolkien *fans* are a lot less contemptible than Twilight *fans*, though. And we sparkle less. Thank all the gods above and below.

I took my desktop computer to a friendly local computer repair place that looks clueful AND comes recommended. They think they can have it up and at 'em tomorrow....

I find the sparkly vampire thing difficult to comprehend. Do they avoid the sunlight because they sparkle? Without knowing any details it seems like someone having a new take on Superman where Kyrptonite makes him sing showtunes.
