And There Are Many Paths To Tread...
( 2003-11-28 @ 11:05 p.m. )
Hello all.
Yes, back once again. FYI If you want to see pictures of me, go back an entry.
Now that I have said that....all I can say is WOW!
ROTK is so close, the Tolkien Gathering is so close.......I apologize profusely for not having been around to talk this week, I have been so disgustingly busy, plus some terrible stuff happened to my Mom's best friend, so I was trying to help out there.
I have never been much of a raging fangirl, at least I have tried not to be. Then again,we all have to indulge once in a while, so allow me to do so.
BILLY, BILLY, BILLY, BILLY!
I got the ROTK soundtrack, another brilliant piece of work by Howard Shore.....I was on the way home from HotTopic, where I was picking up my coat for Canada as well as a Christmas present. Then, I remembered the osundtrack had coem out....so I dashed next door to get it.
Promptly snatched it up and popped it in the c.d. player on the way home. I made myself wait for track #5.....and wait......AND WAIT.......IE:
Me: This track features Billy Boyd in exactly WHAT respect? I HEAR NOTHING! NOOOOOOTHING!
And wait.......and then wait soem more.
So I turn the damn thing up as loud as it will go, and then it comes on.....and I fell out of my seat...literally.....
Billy Boyd....sings.....like...an....angel
Nevermind the fact that my boyfriend said he sounds like a girl.
Or the fact that he just said he sounds like a 12 year old altar boy.....~Shoots dirty look~
Which he DOES NOT! He sounds like an angel.....so yes, Ok...ok....please put me within the ranks of Billy fangirls.
Now, back to Tolkien.......the soundtrack...makes me cry. I am so sad in a way to see these films coming to a close........
Personally it feels like I am closing a chapter to my own life.
It's very bizzare and surreal. I feel like something will be missing from me after all this. But I also realize that Tolkien and the characters are forever in my heart.
Cheesy I know, but the truth............and I have everything, the movies, the books, the music....the memories....and that will never die. Tolkien wrote Lord of The Rings as a set of history books. As far as I am concerned, that is exactly what they are.
They are history, and to those of you who think im nuts.....fuck off. Seriously, so what if I believe I am descended from Elves?
SO WHAT?
It doesnt matter, even though I am 99.999999999% positive I am a Helfbit, half hobbit, half elf...I eat like a hobbit, have the hear of a hobbit....look like a elf.
Go figure.
Tolkiens books are history. They are so much more than stories....they are a way of life. Of thinking, that sets us apart from the rest.
And I adore that.
Ok, enough of my ranting. I just want to let you all know, I am considering another tattoo, I want "Pippin" in elvish script with the Lorien Leaf below it.....what do you guys think?
LEAVE ME GUESTBOOKS MESSAGES! By the way, Jamie's Birthday is Monday Dec 1st...so go send her love, were having a part for her here.
Home is behind.....
