Melephelwen has just left Hobbiton.

*giggle* I just love doing that!

For example, one of my friends who have seen the movies, liking them, and got the books on her to read-list, once asked me a question about ... Gollum, I think. I started to explain her about Sméagol and Déagol, which led to Goblins in the Misty Mountains, which again got me to Balrogs and their origin, and how they're sort of related with Gandalf, the difference between Valar and Maiar. Then I moved back to how the Ring worked with aging (using Sauron as the "conjunction"(right word?)), then I had to explain how old Hobbits and other races of ME could get - and then, sadly, our break was over, and we had to go to math-class. Somewhat, I don't think my friend was very sad about that... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
