Also, lately I couldn't help but notice the short, playful and almost Zenlike posts appearing all over from mark12_30, who, I think, has taken the art of brevity and peeled it off nicely from its stigma of taciturnity. So now I see her with dancing blue eyes that never miss anything! She's the Zen master but also the Laughing Buddha...with hobbit feet. I can't forget to mention that!
I've noticed it too... she's like "nice obloquy" or "nice burra" lately. There was a particularly witty and humorous line in my reps the other day... Perhaps she's like our Ghost of Christmas Present, all wrapped in a big red velvet robe with small words of wisdom and cheer for all. Maybe she even has a wreath of holly on her head?

You dissected a cat? I now have this tremendous urge to go home again and protectively cuddle my feline children! *very disturbed*
Aha! A new insight to my *favorite* Lalwendë:

You like me, have a special love for cats. In your house there reigns two felines. One, I'm not sure the name, is quite fluffy and a creme color, and loves Fancy Feast. You'll usually catch her resting majestically on her pillow...I'm mean her throne. Your other cat is quite the opposite. He's the short-hared rascal that's always moving. If one is fast enough to catch a glimpse of him, they'll see grey tabby fur and gold eyes.

Okay, now that's scary, I've just described a person's pet in detail. GASP!

Hmm. For some reason, I keep thinking of the collective lot of you in Middle-Earth terms.

Will elaborate later.

That's scarily accurate! And the other one is fluffy! You must have seen a picture of me and spotted all the cat hair and thence deduced the nature of the wee felines! If I was more Elven then I might be able to pass off the cat hair as something magical but alas it gets everywhere and I just look like an old mad scruffy Hobbit

Ah, they have no knowledge of rats or mice or birds, being indoor animals, but they have a keen taste for the culinary delights of spider sushi.

For some reason or other, I imagine most of you to look like the various emoticons.

Hmm... You've inspired some lyrics...(That do sum up this little fanfare of guessing. It almost seems like a victorian party of sorts. Nieve with just a bit of realization to keep everyone's mind racing...)

But I saw it coming, flying through the air.
Feathered backside humming. Miss me, hit me where?
Where it will only hurt me, not a mortal wound.
Leave me lying dirty, someone would find me soon.


If you really read it, you'll understand what we're all doing...

Ah! I just so love dark humour!

~ Which one? Ka~

And when I return from the dead I promise you Samwise that I will have pinned down an exact picture of you.

I must say that I have always imagined Eomer of the Rohirrim as a man of about 8ft tall with the build to match. Muscles course in his tree trunk arms and when he speaks the mountains tremble.
His hair is a golden mane which glows in the sun and his majestic beard reaches past his huge pectoral muscles.
Perhaps.

Last I saw they were milling helplessly about, wailing and loudly lamenting the announcement of Heren-Istarion's engagement.
