Do you live with someone from Middle-earth? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Do you live with someone with Middle-earth, or perhaps have a best friend from Middle-earth?

This weekend I realized, to my delight, that 4 people from Middle-earth live at my house.

First, I have to be honest and say that I am probably a female version of Bilbo. I may have wanted to be an Elf princess when younger, but things always turn out different than what you think. I am older, write history, love to teach and tell stories to children, am always ready to drop things for an adventure, and adore Elves. Plus, I am a hobbit and I like Frodo a lot. So I guess that makes me a female Bilbo!

My youngest daughter is Sam. She is the most kind, helpful child I know and prefers to stick closely to one special friend.

My older son is an Elf. He writes poetry (just won three awards, not that I brag much!)and is more reserved and is very much into what I would call spiritual things.

My husband is Aragorn. He is very serious about his responsibilities to his family and community. He is concerned about doing the right or moral thing which isn't always easy when you are an attorney and have pressure from clients. He also married someone (me) who was of a different ethnic/religious background, but his folks came around once they knew me.

Quite a household -- two hobbits, one Elf and one human, but we generally manage to get along!

And, yes, I have two "best" friends--one's a Frodo and one's a Sam.
