The rules: answer your set of questions, add 11 of your own, tag 11 ppl.
I was tagged by @violinclad -- thanks so much, and I love your questions!
1. Do you make lists to remember things or just remember them?
I tend to be a listmaker, though usually less for remembering things and more for getting organized. I’m more productive with a physical to-do list in front of me :)
2. First age, second age, or third age?
Tough one! It’s gotta be the First, though.
When it gets in the 80s (Fahrenheit) in April and May, before the oppressive heat and humidity set in.
Of all time? Nightfall in Middle-earth - Blind Guardian, Thriller - Michael Jackson, Folie à Deux - Fall Out Boy
Mint in tea and candy, cinnamon in baked goods
6. What is your comfort book?
Forever Tolkien’s Roverandom
7. What is your favourite myth/legend and why?
The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise Any Faust(us) tale - I love the universality of it - the archetype makes for a fantastic tragedy. (Plus Marlowe’s play has some A+ dialogue)
8. If you were in Middle-Earth and could choose on any side, be any race/creature, in any place, during any age, what would you want to be?
Gah, why is my gut reaction ‘a Fëanorian Noldo, of course’? But no. We’re going to think this through. I think I’d like to be one of Námo’s Maiar. You stay fairly safe, but still get to meet plenty of interesting (dead) people and maybe help them out. You’d get to hear a lot of stories firsthand.
9. Fave area of literature?
Fanfiction! No, I’m serious -- I’m a big fan of character-based stories, and I’ve read few novels that can touch the levels of character nuance you can find in a well-done fic.
10. Which art movement do you prefer?
I know woefully little about art, but I’d say Impressionism :)
11. Rogue, warrior, or mage, and why?
Mage all the way -- I’d be no use in a physical fight, I’m much more the strategic planning type.
1) What movie did you watch over and over as a kid?
2) How’d you get into Tolkien?
3) OTP(s)? (Any fandom!)
4) Where’s the farthest from home you’ve ever traveled?
5) Favorite poem?
6) Tom Bombadil headcanon of choice?
7) What’s your favorite thing hanging on your wall?
8) Do you post fanworks online? If so, link a drawing/edit or rec a fic of yours (only if you’re comfortable doing so :).
9) Care for spicy food?
10) Favorite line from the last song you listened to?
11) What’s one thing you’re looking forward to?
