But I like that stuff anyway...

I read it at thirteen and then about every year again for the next maybe ten

years and then would skip a few years before reading it again. I would

guess I have read it twenty times probably.

And I have to read it again every year as each new installment of the movie

comes out.

Here's where I admit I never read the Lord of the Rings ...

I also never saw those Monty Python movies people are always talking about

....

And I've never seen a single episode of South Park either.

And the game Uy Gi Hu or whatever it is... never heard of it.

Is anyone surprised I don't know what a Wiggle is?

Yu-Gi-Oh. There is a tv show about it. Can you imagine? A tv show about a

GAME? Now that is bizarre.

I didn't either.

Fat and heading to fifty. Can't get much more unhip than that.

Uh, I meant MYSELF, Sissi. Not you!

Salli, you are a woman after my very own heart. I have become such a Lord

of the Rings nerd. I have been re-reading it recently and also reading

Silmarillion. I suppose all that exposure is what inspired my " dream " ....

<sigh>

But, hey, this is my escape, and we all need one.

Actually I am a big re-reader. I am picky about books and I tend to read my

favorites over and over again. Now Amy H. tells me that she seldom reads a

book twice, which to me is very strange.

But I have cancelled Enrique's plane tickets since you are being nice now.

> My Husband would be THRILLED if I was dreaming about Aragon. LOL,

I even had to ask him who that was (and I've seen the first movie 2

times and the second movie 1 time). He thought that post was

hilarious. I've even tried reading the books. Tolken just has too

many damn words. I found myself counting how many words in a

sentence, and had to put it down. I guess I'm not smart.

Intelligence has nothing to do with it. Tolkien uses too many archiac

words for me too and I LOVE fantasy. I finally finished the trilogy.

I think I'll stick to the movies!

LOL!! Remind me not to tick Salli off!

My little menagerie is quite enough! I have WAY too many spiders

around here for Enrique. He'd be a quivering bowl of jello on the

ceiling in no time. We have one that builds a web outside our kitchen

window every year (okay, same species of spider, not the exact same

one). The kids love to watch it. It's really big and it catches some

really big horseflies in it's web.

Naw, he never knew. I find it works better to spring things on him than to

give him any advance warning.
