I am sooo geeky some times!
Well, since I have nothing else to say, I thought I would tell you some of the geeky things I do, and, come to think of it, most of them are either LOTR related, or related to the story me and Queen Flora are writing together.
1. I can recite almost the entire prologue from the Fellowship of the Ring, from memory (and I'm only missing about two sentences.
2. When we visited my grandparents for Christmas, I spent the whole weekend running around their house saying 'Mae govannen, eneth nin Nimrodel' and asking my cousin, and my uncles what it meant.
3. At home school PE when we played hockey, I enjoyed walking up and down the gym with my hockey stick, saying 'the courtesy of your hall is some what lessened of late, Theoden, King' and (borrowing Tinuviel's hockey stick, and holding both our in front of me) 'I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound.'
And if you think this is geeky, I haven't even begun to tell you about mine and Queen Flora's story!
1. Every time I watch LOTR TT, of LOTR ROTK, when ever Faramir appears on the screen, I say 'Rean-Hammon *squealing*" or 'there's him' because me and Queen Flora think Faramir looks like our character Rean-Hammon.
2. If you were to show me a pic of a Jeep, and ask what was the first thing that popped into my mind, I would say 'Raindant,' because me and Queen Flora came up with our character Raindant in my aunts red Jeep.
3. When ever I play a sport I don't like, I say 'Lydia does not play' what ever sport I'm playing
4. Lately, when ever I get mad at some one, I thretten them by saying 'Rean-Hammon will murder you tonight in your sleep'
Well, this is my list of geeky things, comment and tell me the geeky things you do (seriously people, comment, I'm dying to get more comments!) (And, oh, I know you at least have some geeky things to list Queen Flora, your just as geeky as me when it comes to our story.)
~ Nimrodel
Oh yes...*evil laughs* but you guys haven't seen me and Nimrodel *****TOGETHER***** talking about our story!!!! ****BEWARE***** you might not want to see us! We get geeky!! OH Yeah!
~Queen Flora of Hanaskea (who has the right to behead you, because HE is on my side, and with HIM comes the whole Hanaskean and Eternethian armys!!!!! Haahaahaahaaheeheeheeheehoohoohoohoo Muwhahahah *evil laughs* so THERE, miss I have the right to behead you *says it in winy little voice*)
I don't think so...remember the Eternethian army is rebelling against Aragin! And since the Captain Guy is on your side, even more reason to behead you!*evil laughs* And also HE is not too fond of the Captain Guy...and farmers and pitchforks and bakers,and candlestick makers aren't that skilled in battle!!!! So hahahahahheeheeeheeheehoohooohoohoohooohohoohahhhahh
*totaly evil laughs* Plus I have the lace machine!
~Queen Flora with the power to behead you!
I am starting to find out I am not the only one who does that! WHat a releaf! I thought I was cracking! Not really, but...Anyways, I usually do that, I mean I walk around with sticks or brooms or shovels, and wave them around like swords and threaten to behead anyone close enough.
I am shy though so do not talk to characters in public, but I do talk to them! I have a picture of Prince Caspian on my laptop, as I am eager for the movie, and he is frowning, so I frown back, or talk to him.
Whenever I am carring something heavy or need help I keep imagining some one from LOTR or Narnia comes and gives me a hand.
I pertend I am my characters in my books and will talk to them sometimes.
Whenever I get board or something I will think of a funny part from LOTR and laugh out loud, and everyone thinks I am crazy :)
I pertend I am the queen from my book and threaden to behead eveyone.
Whenever I am in the pool I play scenes from LOTR, when there was water involed, or my pirate books.
Instead of jumping off the diving board I walk the plank,
When I want to do somethimg to annoy my brothers I call myself High King Peter, or threaten that he will come.
I act out parts from Narnia or will quote lines from the books or movies and the most inconventnt times.
Like I will be walking around the house and will suddenly cry, "You've been in Farmer Magots crop again haven't you!", "You could us your staf and melt the snow! 'Or you could run and find the sun!'", and you get the idea. My brain just quit so I can not remember more.
I think it is an author thing, eveyone else thinks we are starange, but we know, and it is fun!
That is so funny, about you pretending to be a queen and threatening to behead anyone. Lately, me and Queen Flora have started a friendly argument about who would behead who. We keep signing our letters 'Flora, the queen with the power to behead you' or 'Lydia, the queen with the power to have you beheaded' and we keep arguing, like 'Oh yay, well I have Rean-Hammon so I have the power to behead you' or 'Well I have the captain dude, so I have the power to behead you.' (thats what the comment from Queen Flora is about, you know the one on her blog party)
~ Nimrodel
Oh really? lets just see about that...
~Queen Flora who has the right to behead you because I'm the one who thought of the whole story in the first place! haahahhahhahhheeheeheehheehoohoohoohoohaahaahaa! And remember, the lace machine knows MJ, and MJ knows the farmer guy who wants her to sing turky in the straw, and the farmer can get all the other farmers to turn against you, so I'll win the battle!!!!
Lol at the hockey thing xD I remember once I played hockey in PE, and there were alot of people coming against me. Getting pretty desperate I lifted my hockey stick and shouted "You shall not pass!". This caught everyone's attention, and they stopped to laugh, while someone from my team took the puck and gave us a score ^^
That is funny, about your and Queen Flora's arugment about who can behead who!
Me and my cousin started a book together, and we had some funny debates while working on it!
I have also got into this habit lately, of talking to my books :). Like I was reading Prince Caspian and I would sometimes talk to it! And then whenever some one picked it up I would cry, "Be careful with him! He is a king!" I had more trouble with Voyage of the Dawn Treader because it was not so much about Caspian, and it is harder to yell, "Be careful with them, they are kings and a queen!" So I stuck with just saying, "Be careful with them!"
Me and my brother get in arugments over Aragorn and Peter. I like both and think both where great kings and would have been friends had they met. But my brother clams Aragorn is better and could fight cycles around Peter. So we get into this argument, he just does it cuase I like Narnia and so it gives us something to argue about :). We do it with knights too.
I was being weird yesterday. Me and my family went out of town and so for the whole ride whenever someone said ANYTHING that reminded me of LOTR or Narnia I would start quoiting the movies and books.
So for the whole ride you could hear things like, "You think your a king? Now your going to die like a dog!" "Are you frightened? Not nearly frightened enough! I know what haunts you!" "I never thought I would die fighting next to an elf. 'How about die fighting side by side with a friend?' 'Aye lad, I could do that'". "You knew thta one so little could endure so much pain?" Then I would grin really big and then make a face at myself. Then I would pretend to cut someones head off and say, "I don't believe it! I will not believe it!"
By the time we reached where we where going I had about driven my brothers mad. But on the way home I got up a new line from the movie, "The Princess Bride. I would wave a pretend sword at my brothers and say, "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!" Then it got really funny when we opened the gummy bears! I was also saying, "My name is Aragorn son of Arathon, you killed my father, prepare to die!"
But the gummy bears. Me and my youngest brother got a whole hand full and set about playing LOTR with them. We beheaded some, threw some off a cliff, and when we just had Aragorn left, he got knocked from my hand and is still on the car floor some where! :)
Well I should go I just wanted to tell you. I thought you might think it was funny :)
" At home school PE when we played hockey, I enjoyed walking up and down the gym with my hockey stick, saying 'the courtesy of your hall is some what lessened of late, Theoden, King' and (borrowing Tinuviel's hockey stick, and holding both our in front of me) 'I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound.'
And if you think this is geeky, I haven't even begun to tell you about mine and Queen Flora's story!"
I read that aloud to my brother (who loves LOTR) and ended up not being able to finish it because I was laughing so terribly hard that I had to lean my head agains the keyboard. I'm just laughing thinking about it!!!! Girl, you can write!!!!
I just wanted to let you know that I am having a (very) short story/poetry contest at my blog! Come on over and take a look!
