I am a big LOTR fan, and new to the site. I have watched all three installments including the director's cut edition with a few free hours of unseen footage. I simply love all the character sets, the characters, and the plot itself. The place is absolutely amazing. I watched it on a high def surround sound system and I felt like I was in the film. Anyway, If I need some stuff to do to join groups or clans here, just let me know because I'm going to be staying here for a while. =)

But what of the lack of professional-grade blenders, featuring state-of-the art stainless steel blades and backed by fast, friendly and competent customer service? MordorMix™ is, IMHO, a very inferior brand, and when I tried calling 1-800-PALANTIR for support the person on the other end seemed to have no idea what I was talking about, kept asking me to pass on a message to someone named "Saruman", laughed horribly at me and hung up. I certainly won't be buying from that firm again in a hurry, I can tell you!

Really? How were you able to survive the change of diet, after being used to living entirely on super-delicious smoothies that deliver over 9000 times the nutritional value of ordinary food?

Dilettante has just left Hobbiton.

Hello everyone,

Technically I am not NEW new I am sort of OLD new. I was here several ages ago (about 4-5 years) under a different name. Its been a very long time, but I kind of started missing this place.

I come now under a new name because looking back I was rather whiny and self-serving. I am older and wiser now.....well at least older.

Anyway, Dilettante is the name, you can shorten that however you like. (It should have been Intergalactic Dilettante, but that wouldn't fit in the box). Middle-Earth is by no means new to me, and I love it as much now as the day I discovered it.

I'm a long time Tolkien fan, very much into things in my youth, not so much for the last few decades. Last three years I've joined a Middle Earth based role playing game and am getting back into it. I've lurked in the past, but have become more active lately.

Where am I?

Me? I... er... um... Who's Tolkien? Oh, yeah, that genius guy. I get him and Einstein confused. Has there ever BEEN a man so magic in all the universe?!?!?!?!??

But is this about him, or me? Me, I graduated as 100% Saruman on that quizzy test thingy. 3% separated me from the Nobility of Aragorn at a close 97%. So yeah, I've delved so deep into the Arts of my enemy that I am ever on the verge of ruinous conversion, even if my intentions were always to do good.

But is this a reflection of the REAL me? You bet your honey buttered sesame cakes it is. Who of you is intuitive? Tell me if this is true or untrue and I will give you a cake of Lembas bread.
