I think I would be an Elf. I can't decide if I would want to live in Lorien or Mirkwood. Lorien would be nice at the point of Elvish...I don't know how to say this, but it's like you're in Valinor, only nothing really happens there. Mirkwood would be cool to live in execpt for the giant spiders. I hate spiders.

I would be an Elf and live in Rivendell. I would make friends with other elves in Rivendell and other elves in other places. I would also make friends with hobbits and humans for I find their inability to walk lightly on things that are not dense enough to hold their weight.

Well being english and living in one our shires it would have to be The Shire! Where I live is near Oxford where Tolkien was based so our countryside would've been the basis for his shire and its perfect! Anybody who has never been to a real olde english country pub should because there are all like the green dragon and the prancing pony....brilliant! I'd live in the east farthing and be a farmer.

I would be an elf. I think they are totally cool. I would live in Rivendell.
I also like hobbits, and men. If I were to belong to the race of men I think I would like to be a ranger. They seem pretty smart and wise.
I could also be a hobbit for I like food, good ale, and nice hobbit-hole to come home to after a night of drinking and smoking pipeweed-definitely the Old Toby.

It would be great to be a wizard, but since they aren't born in Middle-Earth, I guess I can't. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
So I would like to be one of the dunedain. Our life is quite short, so living 150-200 years is probably OK. Elves go to Valinor, but I want to stay in ME, since I like challenges, and life in Valinor is really easy

If I was born in Middle Earth I'd probably be a hobbit. And I'd live in Hobbition (duh) in Bag End or Bag Shot Row. And my friends would be my friends Kellee, beabie, mary,and joe,and of course frodo, bilbo, sam, rosie, merry, pippin, aragorn, gimli, legolas, and Sam's Old Gaffer. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'd be a hobbit and live probably in the Tookland or the Marish and wander about into the Old Forest or down(up?) the Withywindle to see ol' Tom and Goldberry occasionally, and take trips to the Misty Mountains and attempt to find Rivendell (always take my troll's bane!)...I may be a simple hobbit, but those Elves are irresistible! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (I'd probably join in singing "Tra-la-la-lally, come back to the valley...etc. etc." unless they sang it at daybreak outside my window! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I'ld wander all over the place - Gondor, Rohan, I'ld cross the mountains too and go to Rivendell, the Shire....everywhere [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] My friends would be Eowyn and i don't know who else.

interesting. i have always wanted to be in middle earth but not as anything else. i enjoy being human, thank you. and i'd probably live in gondor, working in the courts of his majesty lord aragorn and lady arwen. on second thought, i have always fancied to be aragorn's sister. ha! if that would have been possible. long lost sister whom he loves and cares for so dearly since am the only family (aside from arwen) he has left. my personality would might as well be just like his - adventurous, wise in the ways of the world...as to how I was lost, maybe perhaps, both of us ran away from gondor at the same time, he fell to the elves but I was lost somewhere...hmmm...

I think that I should like to ba a hobbit.

Why?- they are so jolly and happy. Plus they live pretty long, and I would love to live in such a beautiful place as the Shire. Also. I have curly hair, just like a hobbit, and I absolutely LOVE mushrooms! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I would be a dragon and wreak havoc on stuff. Then I would take over Minas Tirith and make it mine. And I would hug it, and cuddle it, and name it George (alright, the last part didn't make any sense, but I would want to be a dragon). I would be a big red fire-drake like Smaug and torch my enemies.

If I couldn't be that, I'd be a dwarf, primarily for the dwarf women! Oh yes, laddie, those dwarf women.

Let's see, I'd be one of two things.
I'd be the greatest Noldrim High-King that ever lived, I'd have Vilya, just like Gil-Galad, and would live in the Grey Havens or Lothlorien. My name would be Iorhael Ancalime I Taur, and I would make friends with Elrond, Celeborn, Cirdan, Galadriel, and all of the most honorable Elves in Arda.

Or I'd be a hobbit of the Shire, Fastolph H. Baggins II. I'd live at
# 10 Bywater Road
Hobbiton, WF.
I'd be friends with my Baggins relatives, the Tooks, Gamgees, Brandybucks, and Hornblowers. I'd smoke Old Toby and Longbottom Leaf, drink Old Winyard and Ale at the Green Dragon, and just be a Hobbit.

I think I would be a Gondorian Ranger. The history of that people is pretty interesting to me and the chance to be out in that countryside-although it would be dangerous would remind me of RL passions.

I would be a princess of Gondor or Lothlorien. (Hopefully Lothlorien!!) Or I would be Loved Harfoot of the Shire, (Concering Hobbits is playing in the background) and live a nice quiet life and marry one of Sam's sons. LOL. Then again, Rivendale is nice too. So, anywhere Gandalf and elves hang out, I'd be good. Aragorn would be nice to have around too. Just keep me away from Moria!! That place creeps me out!

I sure would like to be an Eagle, with the spirit of a Maia, of course! Flying is a HUGE advantage, and if anyone try to shoot me with arrows, I could simply fly over him or her and do my business above that person's head

That's easy!
GONDOR!!!!!! Because it ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wraith: great defensive argument...)
I'd be gondorian. In other words, I'd be a human from gondor. Pure human. Not that weird complicated smallishly-percent-descended-from-elvish-guys-who-decided-to-be-men-and-went-off-and-did-stuff-for-a-long-time-and-called-themselves-human-but-weren't-and-never-washed-their-hair. And not those weird, hairy and stupid wild men. GONDORIAN!!!!!
Aaaaand I'd be friends with Boromir and Faramir and Pippin and random human #252 and that little white pebble in scene 45 in Minas Tirith and the fire that burned Denethor (Wraith: mee too! I hate Denethor! He's so mean to poor faramir!) and-
BOOM!
Ahem. Sorry.

And there's no such THING as Gondorian rangers! At least, not the kind you're probably thinking of. Those guys are Numenorean (Aragorn needs to wash his hair more often!) and such.

hmm... I would do one of two things, depemding what timeframe i was in.

1. If in the third age, I would be a Ranger of the North, wonder the wilderness, protect the people and fight along side Aragorn at the Black Gate

2. If in the first age, i would most likely wish to be a numenorean and live my life in peace for a couple of hundred years.

1420! Hobbits!!!

I would, no doubt in my mind, be a hobbit. I am small, love to eat bread and cheese, sing and dance, and do all the hobbity things hobbits do. I would be friends with Merry and Pippin. They're like me in many ways. I'd live in the Shire. So green and lucious. Green pretty.

I'm would be a hobbit, no doubt in my mind. So I guess I'd live in the Shire. But I do love horses so if I were a human I'd defiantly live in Edoras and chill with the Mearas.

I'd be a Teleri Elve born at Cuivienien (probabaly spelt that wrong) so I could experience the whole of Middle Earth's main history, and levae from the Havens on the last ship into the west.

I could then write a best selling memoir...
