Seriously, WHAT is your problem? Is psychotherapy THAT expensive nowadays? Or are you a naturalist, yearning to live among the savages and/or attempting to study Orc reproduction?

Trust me, you don't want to know.

Either you fancy yourself a manly-man, a womanly-woman, or you've cultivated quite a taste for them.

If no manliness is on the day's agenda, the library is as good of a place to chill as any, right?

You're not fooling anyone though. *wink*

Ok, ok, don't look at the like that. The truth is, you're also a progressive individual who doesn't like to waste his or her potential. So there.

deffo not womanly-woman, but I like the most

Same here too! Mountains are great, but you need the sea too for it to be perfect.

Was the place I'd actually best be suited to - The Grey Havens - a possible result?

I've been remiss about the Grey Havens. But I could potentially change the quiz... What say ye?

You're as ambitious as you are guarded. You like beautiful things. Not just looking at them, but having them.

This doesn't mean your intentions aren't good, and, frankly, if you're at all good-looking, perhaps I'll let you add me to your collection.

Aesthetics shouldn't trump hospitality, though. If your weary visitors stand on your pretty carpet with muddy boots, you should be able to handle it. Right.

I got the Shire.....as expected. I think I was meant to be born as a hobbit....

You make up for your nasty habit of imprisoning guests with age-old wisdom and undeniable gravitas.

True.

Quote:

Your decorating skills lean toward industrial and deconstructed styles.

I'm not sure it does the word "style" any favors.

Quote:

You terrorize the neighbours

Darn right!

Quote:

whether with loud music or worse

Worse.

Quote:

and you don't give a hoot about zoning restrictions.

Those wretches told me I couldn't put my heads-on-spikes out on the patio anymore, to say nothing about them trying to make me get rid of my slave pits!

Quote:

You belong in Isengard!

Hmm...that's not the first place that came to mind...

Quote:

Oh, and we can't be friends anymore.

Not even just a little...?

Well thanks for the offer, but much as I love living by the sea in RL, the area I live in is notorious for being a place people go to retire (including the dear old Prof himself) and my "village" has officially the highest concentration of old people in the entire country (the shopwindows are varifocal round here

) so I can't help thinking that choosing to live in the part of Middle Earth that exists mainly for the benefit of people waiting to check out would be a bit of a busman's holiday.

So I am happy to stick with Imladris (at least unlit all the cute elf boys leave

) when I will remove to Dol Amroth....

I got Old Forest first off (like Beth, I suspect from mixing my answers too much) then I tried to be a bit more cohesive and got Rivendell. Which suits me fine, I think, I always thought it sounded lively, collegiate and multi-cultural by the rather insular standards of elvish strongholds.
