Anyone notice that there is only one point of difference between Frodo and Faramir? I wondered why I tried to pick between them! I'd peg Frodo as somewhat of a romantic in a different sense than Faramir--a kindred soul, as it were, but aware of the unreachability of the romantic ideal, content to be a simple soul. Wizard's pupils, both of 'em! Children of Gandalf! Pippin, too! But I guess I'm not really going into which character I am most like, mainly because there's a bit of several of them in me, even Eowyn, although I am not likely to seek death in battle or ogle "scruffy, 80 year old men!" (Good one, Durelin!)

Perhaps I'll just have to go with Frodo, especially in the lone, Shire-tromping mode. If only I could find a Bilbo to go with me! Not even the younger folk can keep up with me!

And I've only stolen a paw paw, not mushrooms (too dangerous around here!)

Cheers!
