FUN LOTR PAIRING MEME - stolen from Zilah

First, you have to pick out and write down 12 Tolkien characters, from number one to twelve.

Then all you have to do is answer the questions.

I recommend that you pick the characters from many races; it makes this meme more funny and interesting. You don’t have to care about timelines either. If you want to pick King Turgon and Frodo Baggins in the same meme, go for it! And please, NO cheating if you want this to be entertaining.

Here is my list: (we all know Zhie's gonna pick elves)

1. Glorfindel
2. Thranduil
3. Gladders
4. Erestor
5. Asfaloth (so I lied)
6. Elrond
7. Celebrian
8. Maedhros
9. Gothmog the Balrog (I lied again! egads!)
10. Aredhel
11. Gildor
12. Elbereth (Vala, representin')

( questions under the cut )

Yesterday, in Orome's forest...

Yesterday, there was awesomeness. It was so warm up here, hit 80 degrees, which, for WI, in the spring, is not a usual occurance. One of my coworkers mentioned she was not looking forward to going to the gym, as it would be hot and smell like mens boxer shorts. Conversation eventually led to walking in the park would be good, so we decided that after my last meeting yesterday, we would go.

And I needed that to look forward to... I lectured at 9am, a long, intense one on literary criticism, and then at noon I had a presentation to make before the student senate, and then a meeting at 3pm with the partial council, so, guh... and during the break in the AM lecture, I had someone come in and schedule a lecture for 8am today (which, turned out, was not a lecture and was more a babysitting session, but I'm not going to rant on that).

So, we head to the park after my meeting and of course parking is hard to find but eventually we get a spot. There's a series of trails in the park system here which span near Lake Michigan and has all these bridges, paths, stairways, valleys, ridges, really old trees that look like ents, and beach. It's fabulous, and there are lots of little places no one knows about, so I set about showing three such things to my coworker.

( yes, deer )

Tonight, bowling. I scored a 119, a 176, and a 120.

Not too shabby for someone who's had a sprained ankle for a week now (though, I was in pain the first game especially). (You'd think I'd go rest and not be hiking and bowling, right? bad me)
