Beautiful... oh wait, he's not a fictional character

... umm, well if I couldn't get Samwise or Peregrin... I think I'd go for Faramir!

Wow, I never knew that many people liked Faramir! I love him too though, he think he is just about perfect, OK, Perfect. I also like Pippin, he is so funny, outgoing, and happy, he is also a bit taller then the rest so I would not have to break my back trying to kiss him.

Merry is nice too, even though Pippin is better looking in the movies, Merry is the one who helped slay the Nazgul remember Elven Warrior? I admit that I like Aragorn, but who I really like is Sam. Wonderful Sam. Not only is he the real hero of the story, he also likes plants and gardening, two must haves for me. Sam!

Ha, it looks like I have named half the characters in the books here!

My first thoughts were of Faramir, and after that of Aragorn. Then I came to think about Beleg.

Loyal, wise, beautiful (though I meant inner beauty, of course he is bound to have some outer as well

), courageous but not show-off, calm, gentle. And intriguing as well

The height might prove a problem, though, as I'm not too tall myself and I guess he is? Oh darn, who cares.

Hee Hee. Why not? I'll allow myself to be girly for a bit.

Faramir seems to be quite the ladies' choice, doesn't he? I have to say, he's my kinda guy. He has depth and integrity. He's gentle, and a gentleman. His arc remains my favorite love story, not just in Lord of the Rings, but in anything I've ever read (excepting maybe Pride and Prejudice

). In a very different time, he still loved an unconventional, even rebellious, woman for who she was, not for her land or her money, or because feudal society demanded that he choose a wife.

However, I'm not sure how I'd like life in Gondor. Ithilien sounds beautiful, but the life of Men seems to be missing something in terms of simple joys. All that riding off to war and fighting Orcs would drive me half-mad with worry.

I just wouldn't feel at home, as absurdly PERFECT as Faramir is.

I'm far more of a Hobbit at heart. As such, I'd have to say Sam would be the one. He is the true hero of the story, and he's heart-smart, full of hope and love of life, and courage. I think that the way people make friends speaks volumes about them, and Sam's approach to friendship is my own. That said, he'd probably wind up being the friend I fall hard for but never find the courage to even think about romance with, for fear of ruining the friendship.

Oh I know! I love Sam but don't think I could ever get up the courage to talk to him about it, I would be so scared he would never treat me the same afterwards if things went wrong. But Sam is so wonderful! I swear he is perfect for me, I mean, where does it say that Rosie Cotton liked gardens? I do. Grr...that Rosie Cotton...she is dispicable.

Oh, Lauri you know that Samwise it already sailed off Into the west!

Besides you're waay too young for our dearest Samwise (especially the combination of him and Beautiful!*dreamy stare* (don't ask, she knows what I'm talking about)
