If you could live in Middle Earth, what would you do, or most want to get up to ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would be a Lady of Rohan

Kind of like Eowyn, but less fiesty, and less eager to go to war (because I am the worst person ever to go into battle, I am a complete and utter whimp). But then I still would be interested in the whole riding around on horses and swordplay thing.

I have always had a fondness for Rohan because the whole atmosphere of it really brings out my scandinavian side

As a Hobbit, I would have to look for a job in The Shire.
Is there a vacancy in Quality Control for the Southfarthing Pipeweed Growers Association?
My ideal job would be as Ale Inspector for the whole Shire, regularly visiting every pub and brewery to make sure everything was up to scratch.

haha, I would like that job too, Selmo! Of course, I'd have to wait till I was of age...

Seriously, I would be director of parks and public gardens of the Shire (If there wasn't that position, I'd make it up). Or a server at the Green Dragon. My fantasy job or activity would be traveling ME with Legolas and Gimli, or princess of Gondor, or shieldmaiden of Rohan. I allways did like horses...

But most likely of all of the above, I would be the very first librarian of Hobbiton. Most likely the last, but oh well....

Oh, I'd be right there to pick it up after you. I used to be a librarian in a small country village, so working in the Hobbiton library would suit me down to the ground.
Which gets me thinking... working in the library of Minas Tirith. Can you imagine how many ancient scrolls there would be? It would be a dream for me to work there. I could be a scribe, a learned advisor, a man of lore, a tutor to the sons of the Steward, the royal librarian... or all of them at once would be nice!
