My feet were tender this morning (I was informed by my father that there was glass on the bridge, I encountered none thankfully) but my muscles are fine.
1. Which of the four hobbits (Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin) do you identify with the most? Pippin
2. Why? He always seems the most cheerful and has a small tendancy to blabber and is juat bouncy like me. (I am aware that only barely made sense)
3. Is there another hobbit besides those four that you identify with more? Gaddy Boffin
4. Where did that hobbit come from? (Fanfic? RPG? Tolkien?) The Long Winter RPG, he's very dreamy and in his own little world an awful lot.
5. What's your favorite walking song? I prefer to sing oe of the various marching tunes I know
6. What's your favorite Middle-Earth walking song? "Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go..."
7. Do you sing it to a tune? Which one/where did you get it? I fitted it to the tune of the movie adaptation.
8. What's your primary method of getting to Rivendell? (Walking, running, biking... etc.) Biking do far
9. Secondary method of getting to Rivendell? (walking running etc.) Walking
10. If you had a Shire-pony what would you name him or her? Bumble
11. Besides the usual camping & travel stuff, what single special item is in your hobbit-knapsack and why? Until I get my hands on a tinwhistle, a recorder. Because it's something interesting to do when you're not singing.
12. Are you travelling alone or with other Rivendell walkers, and do they have hobbit-alter-egos? Just my dog as of yet, but I'm working on it.
13. Many of you have or will post quotes from the book about walking-- but for this quiz, pick one that stands out the most in your mind, and then tell us why you like it or what it means to you. I'll get back to you on that one.
14. In hobbit-society, have you come of age yet (33) or not? No
What you can/cannot tolerate/enjoy about the Shire that we're leaving behind:
15. Pipes: yes or no? No!
16. Ale: yes or no? No.
17. Gardens: Yes or no? If yes, would you rather walk through, or weed & dig? Yes, to walk though but my own is rather overgrown and come summer you can be sure that the stinging nettles will be all around
18. Living below ground: yes or no? If it was all built probably then yes.
19. Dancing the Sprinkle Ring: yes or no? Yes!
20. Huge parties: yes or no? Yes.
21. What you like the least about The Shire? Get back to you, this requires real thought.
22. Where you would want your summer cottage (or smial)? Bywater
23. Where you would settle in for the winter? Tuckborough sounds good to me.
24. What would your hobbittish proffession be? Stablehand
25. This one is for Dragoneyes: Will you try walking barefoot at some point, and what is your plan for doing it safely? I shall try again, this time I will be completely sure there is no glass and next time it will be warmer and less wet and all round less messy.
