Middle Earth Real-Estate
 
Ok, guys. I'm unemployed. I'm bored. I can't go out, because I barely made rent this month.

You know the drill, you know what I do in this sort of situation.

Without further fanfare, here's the Middle Earth Real-Estate Quiz

For entertainment purposes only. I am not making any money off this, and I am not a trained... anything. I'm just that bored right now.

Enjoy.

I got the Shire, nice, it be cool to be able to live there. :D

Nice quiz Lush.

Mixing up my answers must have been what got me 'whimsical.' ;)

Thanks for turning your boredom into something fun to share, Lush. That pic is one of my favourite ones of the Old Forest. A little eerie, a little creepy, definitely wild, perilous and not sentimental. :D

Invite the neighbours for an Orc-barbeque sometime. You'd be good at that sort of thing.

You belong in Rivendell!
How lovely! Rivendell is the exact spot I would pick if I could go to Middle-earth. :)

Very nice quiz.

Yaaaay. No elves! :D

The Shire. Hmm.

Still The Shire. Oh fine!

Oh, and we can't be friends anymore.

You belong in Isengard!
Friendship is overrated! :p

One time Isengard, one time Rivendell...

Seriously, WHAT is your problem? Is psychotherapy THAT expensive nowadays? Or are you a naturalist, yearning to live among the savages and/or attempting to study Orc reproduction?

If no manliness is on the day's agenda, the library is as good of a place to chill as any, right?

You're not fooling anyone though. *wink*

Ok, ok, don't look at the like that. The truth is, you're also a progressive individual who doesn't like to waste his or her potential. So there.
deffo not womanly-woman, but I like the most ;)

Same here too! Mountains are great, but you need the sea too for it to be perfect. ;)

Was the place I'd actually best be suited to - The Grey Havens - a possible result?

Lush 08-08-2006 10:53 PM
I've been remiss about the Grey Havens. But I could potentially change the quiz... What say ye?

You're as ambitious as you are guarded. You like beautiful things. Not just looking at them, but having them.

This doesn't mean your intentions aren't good, and, frankly, if you're at all good-looking, perhaps I'll let you add me to your collection.

Aesthetics shouldn't trump hospitality, though. If your weary visitors stand on your pretty carpet with muddy boots, you should be able to handle it. Right.

Brinniel 08-08-2006 11:24 PM
I got the Shire.....as expected. I think I was meant to be born as a hobbit....:rolleyes:

True.

I'm not sure it does the word "style" any favors.

Quote:

Darn right!

Quote:

Worse.

Those wretches told me I couldn't put my heads-on-spikes out on the patio anymore, to say nothing about them trying to make me get rid of my slave pits! :(

Quote:

Hmm...that's not the first place that came to mind...

Not even just a little...? :p

Same old, same old

Well thanks for the offer, but much as I love living by the sea in RL, the area I live in is notorious for being a place people go to retire (including the dear old Prof himself) and my "village" has officially the highest concentration of old people in the entire country (the shopwindows are varifocal round here ;) ) so I can't help thinking that choosing to live in the part of Middle Earth that exists mainly for the benefit of people waiting to check out would be a bit of a busman's holiday.

So I am happy to stick with Imladris (at least unlit all the cute elf boys leave :p ) when I will remove to Dol Amroth....

Lalaith 08-10-2006 12:46 PM
I got Old Forest first off (like Beth, I suspect from mixing my answers too much) then I tried to be a bit more cohesive and got Rivendell. Which suits me fine, I think, I always thought it sounded lively, collegiate and multi-cultural by the rather insular standards of elvish strongholds.

Estelyn Telcontar 08-10-2006 01:04 PM
Well, the test confirms what I would have chosen on my own - Rivendell! The perfect mix of Elven and other, of work and pleasure, of art and nature, the place to be for whatever you wish...

TheGreatElvenWarrior 08-13-2007 10:03 PM
Nice old Imladris or should I say Rivendell...
Not what I was expecting...but its nice
(actually wanted The Shire with lots and lots of Hobbits, I LOVE Hobbits)
Hey, hey, hey The next time I took the Quiz I got The Shire...!YAY! I LOVE Hobbits... Did I say That already?
