More LotR babbling.

Wheee! Hobbits! Elves! Dwarves! "Pip"! theirloveissoprecious! Gandalf the Gay! Er, Grey. (Dammit, Anna! :p) Boromir! Aragorn! "I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my king." Eeee! Rugged warrior sex!

Wait, that last one was just my imagination, wsan't it? Dang it all. ^__^

So, yes, My LotR viewings count is now up to three. Give it time, yo. And I even took notes this time! Let's see if I can read them ...

Hm. We got trailers for Ocean's Eleven, which looks like something I'd like, and Ali, which I'm gonna go see this weekend. Because I like Mohammed Ali, and Will Smith is hot. And seems to do a good job in this movie.

Okay, in the intro, we see the Three being given to the elves. Galadriel is one of them. Who're the other ones? (I should know this, shouldn't I? Was also quite disappointed the rhyme wasn't recited in the movie at all. :( This might explain why every time the voice-over (or, later, Gandalf) says "in the land of Mordor" I whisper under my breath "where the shadows lie." I'm a great big geek girl.

Then there's the battle scene, which is ... holy crap! Breathtaking. And Hugo Weaving ni battle armour makes me want to do nasty things to him. And oh, oh, the Elrond/Isildur vibes! I was vibing out of my seat, yo!

BTW, was I hallucinating or was there at least one woman in the battle scene?

Moving onwards to the Shire. Merry and Pippin stealing the firework. "No, get a big one." Ahahahahahahaha! A big one! Bwahahahaha! Oh, god.

I'm probably the lsat one to notice, but I loved how Gandalf surreptuously insinuated chapter titles from LotR and TH into some of his dialogue? So cool.

When they're hiding from the Nazgûl, right after running into Merry and Pippin, you can see Merry and Pippin and Sam huddled together ovre the mushrooms, and I may or may not have had a threesome moment. Oh, and a bit later, on the ferry, Frodo takes this giant leap right into Sam's arms! Squee! theirloveissoprecious! That goes for the other Hobbit pair as well. I melt every time Merry calls Pippin "Pip". Cause no one else does that! And then! When Frodo gets stabbed by the Morgul sword and Sam rushes to his side and Frodo sighs softly "Oh, Sam" and eeee!

Then we have Rivendel and Elrond and the Council and Elrond being amused/bemused/midly irritatred by all those fecking Hobbits popping out of nowhere an every time I see that scene I squee a little more. Give me a couple of more viewings and i'll just implode from the squee of it all.

Hm, seems I got distracted by that whole movie thing at this point, because the next thing is a note on the glance (or rather, the GLANCE) Aragorn and Boromir exchange on the Pass of Ca-something. Mmmm, smolderingly good. ^_^

Oh, Moira. I love Moira. And the drums in the deep, can I just say they scared the living daylights out of me? Good fucking god. (This is probably to blame on Mr King and his special brand of psychological horror. That one story with the toy monkey? I've read it about a dozen times and I still get freked out about it. Fucker.) Also, Boromir saying "They have a cave troll" in that "Oh joy" kind of voice.You're right, Sae, it's great.

Lothlorien. Does anyone else think that thing Legolsa is wearing looks like a satin dressing gown? o_O Also, the Boromir/Aragorn conversation seems to have spawned a bunny. I quote my notes: "A = B's father? Eeep!" And that's all i have to say about that!

Death scene made me cry. Again. My knuckles have bite marks on them. Fuckers.

is a perfect a

You know what I said about not wanting to argue/discuss things anymore? Thisis a perfect example of that. I can think of so many things I can say, but I just think "Why bother?" The fact that it's at least partially about faith doesn't help, because that's my weak point, in a way.

(no subject)

Right. WHY am I not getting my LotR_RPS mail, y!groups? Why? Huh? Pisser.

I swear, i make no sense even to myself.

This is making me realise I have some serious Draco issues. Self, he's a fictional character! Kindl stop being freaked out/scared/whatever because "people are judging him for what he's like at fourteen!" Because really, if you use that little grey mass that is your brain, you know they're completely right.

And you know, i'll take the issues over the fucking apologists any damn day, thanks.

Okay.

Why is everyone in fandom suddenly contemplating slashers and wether or not we perpetrate the myth that boys being affectionate wih each other means they're gay? So far, there's three different people in the past few days, one of them yours truly.

Fan Hivemind in action!

LotR, Ang is a bitch, GnR and other ramblings

Fellowship of the Ring viewings: 3
Pages read in Lord of the Rings one-volume edition: 488 (The Ents! They're marhcing! Wooo!)

Hey, if I can't count down to something, I shall count up from something!

Meh. I can't seem to shake this funky mood I'm in. There's this discussion about Draco going on in my LJ (few posts back) and I want to take part in it cause it's interesting and I have things to sayy, but my brain seems to lack the ability to make a point in a condensed, rational fashion. Grrrr. Shall try later, in spite of cottonbrain.

I have a headache. It's one of those nasty dull ones along my temples, and just not-bad enough that I don't want to take a painkiller yet. (Painkillers tend to mess with my body. They make me sleepy, which is the last thing I need right now.)

Dammit, Ang! First you make me all maternal over Tommy Lee freakin' Jones, and now you revive my GnR lust! You are a bitch, and everyone shall know about it. Everyone, Ang is a bitch. Please proceed to here to see what she's dragged me back into. Grrr!

For some odd reason, I am completely uninterested in downloading the LotR Avi thing from Morpheus or whatever. I think I'd rather hold out until the good-picture-quality DVD comes out, and go to the theater about 541654 times until that happens.

This is also a not-quite-GIP. Look, it's a spork! For those "Meeeep!" posts and bunnies. ^___^ Now I'm finally back up to ten icons.

Oh, also:

Me: Although I seem to have had an Elrond/Aragorn fling bunny last night.
Zarya: Dude. Elrond/Aragorn? Do tell.
Me: I have no idea where it came from. I was reading the appendices (don't ask me why, I'm only halfway in the book) and they mentioned the whole Aragorn-is-Elronds-adoptive-son thing and suddenly my brain goes, "Mmm, Elrond educating Aragorn about the ways of love amongst the elves" and I turn into goo.
Zarya: mmmguh.
Me: Exactly.

Wheee, I have a LotR bunny! Zarya says it could work. I say I don't care if it works or not, I'm writing it just to have an excuse for long, drawn out Elrond/Aragorn daydreams. I'll worry about post-ability once it's done. Now, if only I would have a decent Boromir/Aragorn bunny ... Anyone? Amy? Nette? Bueller? Anyone?

I should update my bunny&wip list. Shall do that in a few, as a matter of fact, after lunch.

Can somebody tell my why my friends groups keep returning even after I've deleted them about a gazillion times?

(no subject)

Wheee! I'm gettting a raise next month! Dude, has it been nearly a year since I started working here? Awesome.

And I got some good feedback as well, which always kicks ass. :)

There are no words for how much I don't want to clean! You know it's bad when I have to blackmail myself into it. ("You can't go buy more cigs before you've cleaned. Completely.")<

Bah!
