When I first saw the question I thought, yeah sure, I would love to live in Middle Earth. But after thinking it over in my Physics revision lesson, I am not so sure.

Firstly the thing about taking a few people with you; would they be as willing to go as I was? Would they want to leave everything behind? Unless our minds were connected, I wouldn't know. I only know one person who would come with me for certain. And then there is that whole issue about modern necessities, could I live without them? I could live without TV as I don’t really watch that much, and when I do watch it, it is always on MTV or Kiss. I don’t think I could live without the music we have here now, but I am willing to try. Taking my pointe shoes would be a must, otherwise I don’t think I would go. Reading, well I am sure there will be enough of that.

Food, I am a vegetarian, a very fussy one at that so food might be a problem. But hey I could live on, apples, bread, apples, bread, apples and bread. And no running HOT water would be annoying but I could get over it.

But despite all the bad things, I mean come on its Middle Earth! So it would be a yes for me.
