well hello everyone, I'm back, after a 5 month hiatus from the 'Downs! This return was inspired by nostalgia- i miss the old days of last year (seems like an eon ago, so much has changed in my life), of being actively obsessed with Tolkien, delving into the books, feeling every nuance of emotion, living in Middle Earth. Spending hours on this message board, analyzing and dissecting every possible aspect of Tolkien and his masterpieces. Those were the days. I miss them. The anticipation about the upcoming film has whipped me into a Tolkein- crazed frenzy. I am overwhelmed in my love for Tolkien's works. I'm remembering the days of last year and how wonderful they were because I read Tolkien. Honestly, those books are what got me through my otherwise dark sophomore year in high school. But enough of the prerequisite. I'm supposed to be describing my first Tolkien- reading experience! That, I know, will take me quite a while. It will probably be a manifesto, lol—I will post it soon, when I am done writing it.
