Name: Corsair_Caruso, or "Balgand," according to Realelvish

Quest: to become a world famous opera singer, voice teacher, and fiction writer

Favourite colour: Hmmm... bluish green?

Most beloved Tolkien character: I really like Finrod. I think I'm going to have to call him my favorite, with Ecthelion and Glorfindel coming close behind him.

Least beloved Tolkien character: Hmm... I mean, there are plenty of characters to hate, but you usually love to hate them. I think... maybe Eol? Although Caranthir, Curufin and Celegorm were pretty awful. I think I'll say even worse than Eol.

Worst habit: procrastinating

Best habit: when I get into it, working out and eating healthily

Unlikeliest celebrity crush: um... hmmm... unlikeliest... probably Jamie from Sorted Foods.

Weirdest hobby: spending untold hours on AlternateHistory.com...

Best place in Middle Earth: Probably Ost-in-Edhil before Annatar showed up. That would be my favorite place to visit, anyway.

Best place outside of Middle Earth: Ooh... hmm, that's hard. I don't think I can come up with a definitive answer, but the south-west of France was gorgeous.

Most embarrassing moment: Um... I actually don't think I can share that; it was literally shameful, as in, I am truly, deeply ashamed of that. So... my mom changing my bandages on wound where the cyst used to be right above my butt.

Most daring moment: Um... hmm... when I was a kid I jumped into a pool to save a little girl who I thought was drowning. I think I was right, but I was too small to be doing that, so the lifeguard had to pull us both out.

Favourite "LotR" actor: Probably Sir Ian McKellen.

Least favourite "LotR" actor: Um... hmm... I thought Elijah Wood was kind of lacklustre, compared to the rest of the pretty stellar cast. Hmmm... oh, wait! I thought Karl Urban was kind of awful as Eomer.

Theme song: My theme song? I would spend way too much time overthinking what song would actually symbolize me and know way too much about music history to give a good answer in a reasonable amount of time. Pass!

Style guru: If I had to pick one... Jason Statham from the transporter. He looks great in a suit, balding with a buzz-cut. That's how I'd like to look all the time.

Most crucial accessory: probably my iPhone.

Greatest weakness: being selfish and procrastinating; they get me into equal amounts of trouble.

Greatest strength: intelligence!

Favourite place to visit on the Downs: I'm very new, so I don't really have a favorite place yet.

Best Downer Buddy: I don't really have any yet. I've only been here for a few days, so while I've met some nice people, I can't really claim to have any buddies yet.

Parting shot: See you, space cowboy!

Weirdest hobby: scratching my bum in public, it only gets itchy in public places.

Most embarrassing moment: Having a badly needed weewee in front of some of that mirror glass/one sided police window stuff thinking the building was empty but in fact housed a busy call centre office full of outraged middle aged telephonists, gawd.

Most daring moment: walking away with head held high, toilet paper trailing from one shoe

Favourite "LotR" actor: Love em all to bits

but Sam is my favorite

Least favourite "LotR" actor: those annoying escaping kids

Theme song: Always look on the bright side of life.

Best Downer Buddy: anyone with a warped mind will do.

Parting shot: Thongs are over-rated.

Anyone who gets banned from TORN is my friend, I was going to say, but then all the rest of your post was even better. Anyone who dresses like Severus Snape is also my friend.

Splendid, love opera and getting banned from the site where the PJ cultus makes Kim Jong-il jealous is practically a badge of honour. Thongs as in flipflops or..?
