*Enter Samantha, trying to suppress squeaks of excitement*. Sorry guys, but I've been excited for this tag since I started blogging, and wow, I am still excited for this tag! I love Tolkien week! Without further ado: to the tag!
1. What Tolkien character do you think you're the most like?
I want to say Sam, since he's the character I'm nicknamed after with my close friends/family, and the one my blog name comes from. And I mean, I am like Sam:
I'm very loyal to my friends and very protective of them
I love working in the garden/in Shire-like areas
I'm good at carrying heavy things and walking for long distances
I can be brave in a pinch
I'm sometimes mistrustful of people until they earn my trust (helloooooo Gollum)
Familiarity is my favorite, but I would love to see an elf
I like to cook, and having to toss away a cast iron pan would make me ðŸ˜
I have very little patience for people who don't know the meanings of words. (PO-TAY-TOES)
But I'm a little torn, because he has so many, many admirable qualities that I don't, humility, to name just one. :)
So I mean, I have a ways to go, but I can't really think of a LOTR character I'm MORE like off the top of my head, so we'll go with Sam.
2. What Tolkien character do you wish you were more like?
Sam. XD
I do actually have a list of his traits I want to emulate, along with quotes, up on my bulletin board. The responsibility of bearing his name as a nickname is not to be taken lightly, guys.
3. What would your dream home in Middle-earth be like?
A little cottage in the Shire, with a garden and lots of goats. Or possibly a house in Gondor, again, with a garden and lots of goats.
4. You get to make a movie of the story of Beren and Luthien! Who do you cast as the leads?
*Freaks out* I love Beren and Luthien SO MUCH! But I'm horrible at casting. Um...*thinks for several minutes, trying to avoid the inevitable* Grr...I really don't want to imagine any actors as Beren and Luthien, people! I'm going to break the rules and skip this one, because I literally don't know any actors who I would accept as Beren and Luthien. XD
Although...*whispers* Maybe if Orlando Bloom dyed his hair brown? And Kiera Knightly actually read the book?
6. Do you have a favorite song or track from the movie soundtracks by Howard Shore?
8. Who of the people in your real life would you want in your company if you had to take the ring to Mordor?
10. Is there a book by Tolkien you haven't read yet, but want to?
Like you, Eowyn isn't my favorite character, but I think she would be awesome to hang out with, and it would the most beneficial for me because I'm almost her opposite in every way. XD
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you were able to participate this year!! :D
I know, it would be so fun! And like you, I'm not that much like her, so I think it would be good for me. XD
DeleteMe too!!! This is such a fun blog party.
A cottage in the shire would be amazing. I think Sam is my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it? Sam is the best. :)
DeleteOh, I've read Lewis's "In Defense of the Fairy Tale", but I don't think I've read Tolkien's "On Fairy Stories"! I shall have to look it up.
ReplyDeleteAnd living in the Shire is such a goal... xD
Oh, I haven't read the Lewis one either. XD Clearly I have catching up to do in the fairytale department.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
(Ok, and we just got a new computer, and I'm not positive this will post as Samantha? But it's still me. :D)
