I've decided that since the movies came out that I literally live in Middle-Earth. NO, I don't live in New Zealand. I live in British Columbia Canada, which was rumored to have been thought of in the location for the movies. BC looks so much like New Zealand (or the other way around) it's uncanny. The mountains here are smaller, BUT their still mountains. Everytime I take a BC Ferry, and I look over the mainland mountains, covered in Mists, guess what I think of.
