Linnamalle, could it have been Angelica (no "L" on the end)? There is an Angelica somewhere in the genealogical tables (Appendices to ROTK), and it is an herb, I believe--which would make it a logical Shire name for a hobbit lass.
Of course, I would NEVER imply that you were anything less than angelical [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]...
Concerning role playing:
It is rather challenging to imagine travel during fall weather (possibly well above sea level, too), when temperature is in the upper 80s and dewpoint in the 70s...The alter ego finds herself walking in the early evening these days, simply to avoid heatstroke!
ME-esque settings in Yellowstone Park (relying on memory):the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River; the various mountain ranges in view;the evergreen forests...almost everyplace EXCEPT the geysers, in fact. (Are there any hot springs occurring in any of the Tolkien canon? I haven't yet explored outside LOTR) And in fact, Raefindel, if you are driving, and pass through southeastern Idaho, take note of: Craters of the Moon National Monument (lava fields, no live volcanoes though) and the broad grassy plains in that part of the state--I knew I'd been someplace that reminded me of Rohan! (Lived there 76-79)
