Name four things you would like to do sometime in your life

1. Go scuba-diving in the Coral Sea.

2. Own my own sailing ship and sail up to the northern seas around Greenland.

 3. Publish The Last War.  (Or at least finish writing it to my satisfaction.)

 4. Go hunting wild boar with a bow and arrow or a spear (My dad has two spears for the purpose but I have not been allowed yet.  I intend to, though, even though I am a girl.)

Name four movies you would have liked to be in and which character would you have liked to play in each?

I wouldn’t really like to play in any movies and if I were I can only think of one; Eowyn, in The Lord of the Rings

 

3. Name four places you would like to visit sometime in your life.

New Zealand

Greenland

Iceland

Switzerland

4.  Name four silly things you have done in your life. 

Almost burned the house down by putting the clothes drying rack too close to the coal stove.  It burned up the floor and rugs and all the clothes. 

I forgot to put flour in the cookies I was baking.

 Saved up my money to buy a chemistry book I really liked and then lost it soon after.

 I have a habit of leaving books wherever I last read them such as: the car, the last tree I climbed, by the roadside, my dad's office.  Yeah, my mom does NOT like that silly thing about me.


5. Name four of your very favorite foods.

 Ice cream

Sigara böreði (Turkish cigar pastries)

Iskender (sliced meat in tomato sauce, yogurt and spices over pita Turkish style)

Monte Cristo sandwiches


6. Name four books you would have liked to be in and what characters would you have liked to be?

 In The Lord of the Rings, I would have like to be Eowyn.

In the Silmarillion, I would have liked to be Nessa.

In The Last Battle, I would have liked to be Tirian.

In The Dawn Treader I would have liked to be Caspian.

 
7. Name four things you do not like.

 Rats in the trash

Large insects in the house

Showers: why can't I just stay clean with a magic wand? Showers waste time. I DO take them, however.  Fear not.

Durian fruit- eeeeuuuugh!


8. Name four people you would like to meet if you could.

 The President

J.R.R. Tolkien
C.S. Lewis

King David

9. Name four historical people you find interesting.

 Albert Einstein

George Washington

Genghis Khan

Mary, Queen of Scotland

10. Name four animals you would like to have – they can be any kind!

 A horse

A horse

A horse and…

A horse!

*smile* Oooh, good tag...
I would love to be Rosie Cotton. Although... I don't think I'd enjoy living in the Shire for who knows how long with Sharky ruling. I thought about being an elf, but i wouldn't really want to live forever and i might not want to marry a mortal. Ah well, I suppose in the end i'm most content to be me! :)

Thursday - Fun!

I would definitely be Eowyn too. People always ask me what my favorite Middle Earth race is and I say "Men." They look at me like that's so weird, but it's true, lol! ^_^

And unfortunately, it looks like it's rather boring.

Except for the Northern Lights!

There was a time when I nearly burned the house down...well, at least, I burned a little hole in the floor of the kitchen. I was playing around with a candle -- holding a tissue over it and watching the tissue turn black. For some reason I thought that was amusing, so I kept doing it over and over again. (This was 3 or 4 years ago...) and then eventually one of the tissues caught fire. I threw it on the counter and burned a little hole there and then flicked it onto the wood floor and squealed "fire"! Then my mom freaked out and stomped it out with her shoe.

So, that was probably one of my silliest moments. :)

Our Quest

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us..." GANDALF

The purpose of this blog is to record the ideas that are most important to us. We are two sisters who choose to go by the names of Frodo and Legolas. You will find poems and quotes, narrations and pictures from our favorite sources that have inspired us to use the time that has been given to us to the best of our ability. We hope you will enjoy the journey there and back again....

Frodo and Legolas

tolkien

The Myth

"The value of the myth is that it
takes all the things we know and
restores to them the rich
significance which has been hidden
by the veil of familiarity . . .
By putting bread, gold, horse, apple
or the very roads into a myth,
we do not retreat from reality:
we rediscover it. As long as the
story lingers in our mind,
the real things are more themselves.
[The Lord of the Rings]
applies the treatment not only
to bread or apple but to good and evil,
to our endless perils, our anguish
and our joys. By dipping them in myth
we see them more clearly. I do not
think [Tolkien] could have done it
in any other way.”
- C.S. Lewis

And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
