What brings out the Gollum in you? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ooh, for me it's the hairbrush that an ex-boyfriend with such long hair gave me last Christmas--actually, I took from his drawer, told him, "I love your hairbrush and it's Christmas" and placed it on my purse. Fortunately he didn't go Deagol too much, he just told me he'd never show me another hair item or any other thing used for grooming the hair! I don't know why I'm so attached to it, it's just one of the many many hairbrushes in the world, and it doesn't really help tame my hobbit-like raven hair.

My pictures. All of them.
I am not really much of a photographer but I am deeply attached to my photos, they are my life, anytime I go someplace interesting I always take photos of everything instead of trying to preserve them in my memory, which has led to having most of my life preserved only though my precious pictures. It's really very sad.

Hrmmm, this is hard because I'll inherit something or whatever and watch it closely, but everything eventually of mine is lost or borrowed and never returned until years later (Bilbo and I are plagued with 'lend and never recieve back' form of luck).
So, I'll try to think of something at least.

I guess we both cherish fish. I love fish, and if done properly, it is lovely raw. I have a hard time sharing that, but most people I meet don't like fish or related foods, so it is no bother to me and I eat all the fish. Then again, that isn't exactly a 'permanent material' item.

I didn't think this would be so difficult.

I guess it would have to be, because I am completely under fire if I ever lost it or gave it away, a camphor-wood chest that my great-great grandfather bought in Hong Kong for my great-great grandmother, Samantha Case (she reminds me of a hobbit in ways, because she was very short, had an attitude, and had nearly 14 children, not many survived though, but still...).

So, under penalty of disownment and death by my family I'm to be a gollum about it. I'd be one just because of the stories around the thing, the carving on it, and that lovely smell it gives off, which after nearly a hundred years or more is pretty impressive.
